Levon did great with our cats and dog! Our dog is anxious and can be slow to warm. Levon did a great job befriending her. He was very attentive and caring.

About: I have had dogs in my house for my whole life, and worked doggy daycare for Dog-Gone Rite. I feel I have plenty of experience and I love to be around animals. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am available all weekdays as my work is not intensive. I like to sit with pets and watch them to ensure their safety as well as keeping them on a leash at all times outside.

About: Ive owned dogs since a child..Basset Hound. Doberman, Pugs (I used to foster pugs in Dallas and adopted 4 at one point), Boston Terrier, Mixed breeds and love them all. Ive currently got a Beagle mix that I adopted 12 yrs ago "Jaz". Pet sitting has mostly been friends pets and since I'm new to the area, looking to get out of Corporate and thought this would be great time to spend with fur babies. I’m currently building an art-focused business and have a flexible schedule that works well for house sitting and pet care. I’m available for early morning walks and feedings, as well as afternoon check-ins, playtime and walks. I enjoy creating a steady routine that keeps your pet happy and comfortable throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I keep dogs on leash anytime we are outside unless we are in a securely fenced yard or an approved off-leash area. I follow your rules around food and only give their regular meals and treats. My priority is keeping your pet safe, comfortable and happy.

About: I am new to Asheville, and I’m excited to spend my days exploring the area with your pup by my side! Since my husband works during the day, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the one-on-one attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve; not just a quick visit. I’m also looking forward to learning about different breeds as my husband and I prepare for dog ownership ourselves, so you can trust that I’ll care for your dog with genuine enthusiasm, patience, and lots of love :) I relocated with my husband for his job, so my hours are pretty open with notice for the foreseeable future! I enjoy hiking and walking, so i am happy to combine those activities with taking your pet along :) Your dog will enjoy a calm, comfortable home in West Asheville with plenty of space to relax and receive individualized attention. I typically opt for taking dog walks in parks or hiking trails instead of my neighborhood. Because I’m home during the day, your pup won’t be left alone for long and will receive lots of companionship, play, potty breaks, and affection throughout their stay. I treat every dog like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Cant say enough about Ty and Ingrid. Two lovely humans who helped us out big time with some unusual requests that allowed us to have our Poppy dog in our wedding, and let us enjoy our wedding weekend events while knowing she was in great hands. They're total pros and we would not hesitate to book again ( in fact we plan to if they'll let us! :P). They could charge 3x more and you'd still be getting a bargain.

About: I have had animals my entire life, and I love them all! I can take dogs on an adventure, or enjoy a quick stroll around the neighborhood, depending on their needs. I want them to feel safe and comfortable with me! I have more availability over the weekends, but am happy to chat about care during the week to see if it is the right fit I treat your dogs like they are my own - they are welcome to snuggle on the furniture and be comfortable. I have a dog park in my neighborhood to provide time off leash and for play.

Mandolyn was absolutely amazing with our two German shepherds. It's nice not to have to worry about what's going on when you're leaving your dogs to someone else's care, and we didn't give it a second thought while we were gone. Mandolyn inspired confidence that they were loved on, cared for in a responsible way - all while following the instructions or specifics we laid out. 10/10, A+++, hope to use again!

About: Hi, I’m Adrienne! 🐾 For years, I’ve been the reliable “go-to” person for friends and family whenever they need someone to care for their pets while they’re away. From cats and dogs to even goats, I’ve loved getting to know all kinds of animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I have both a cat and a dog of my own, so I know firsthand that pets are family. When caring for your pet, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box cleaning, and maintaining your pet’s daily routine. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills and inhalers, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so you can expect plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and receiving the best care possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱 I work from home and typically work about 5–6 hours a day, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins without long gaps between visits. I love getting outside for daily walks, and having a dog companion would make that even better since my own dog is usually at work with my fiancé. My schedule allows me to be reliable, present, and responsive, so your pet will never feel like they’re being rushed or left alone for long periods. I truly enjoy incorporating pet care into my day and making it part of my routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and afternoon visits depending on your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine to keep things as comfortable and familiar as possible! I offer in-home pet care and dog walking services, making sure your pets stay comfortable in their own familiar environment while you’re away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I focus on providing calm, consistent care right in your home. For walks, I love taking dogs out on local neighborhood routes or nearby trails so they can safely explore, get fresh air, and enjoy their exercise time. Whether your dog prefers a relaxed stroll or a more active walk, I adjust the pace to match their energy level and needs. At this time, I do not offer care in my home as my cat is prone to getting stressed with change in her environment.

Eileen was great. She came last min to meet and cat Jax’s before I went out of town and made me feel super comfortable. Sent her pictures everyday and Jax’s always looked comfortable and happy. Eileen provides such a peace of plan while I was away with her daily communication and was also quick to reply when I reached out. I highly recommend her

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Candler on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,036 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Candler. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Candler stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Candler choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Candler with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Candler. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
