“I cannot say enough positive things about Jennie and Craig! They are such kind people and they showed our sweet girl Lucy SO MUCH love while we were away on vacation. We will most definitely be bringing Lucy back and highly recommend them to anyone else!”
“Nellie had a great time. Brody was kind and Nellie enjoyed her stay. He sent me video’s showing me how Nellie was doing. She loved running and playing with the other dogs. I loved the fact she was not in a crate. I hope to continue using Brody for other occasions.”
“Kristin and Seth took excellent care of both of our pups. They sent us pictures to reassure us that they were settling in and adapting well and to ease any concerns. They were happy and healthy when we picked them up and it was obvious they enjoyed themselves while we were gone :) we will happily use them again in the future!”
“Allison was amazing! She listened and went above and beyond to take care of my pup who requires extra attention with his eating habits! She gave me regular updates on how my pup was doing. I will definitely use her help when I need a sitter next time!”
“Joseph and Andrea are wonderful-- it was so reassuring to be able to leave Eliza in their care. We could tell from the pictures we received that she was happy, well cared for, and comfortable. We will 100% book with Joseph and Andrea again!”
“Jordan was super sweet and easy to book with! She was very responsive and accommodating, she took great care of my Lottie girl and I will 100% be using her in the future! Thank you, Jordan!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have been involved in animal rescue for the past 10 years. I currently foster with Mountain Pet Rescue and the Asheville Humane Society, and I’ve cared for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medications. Rescue work has taught me how to be patient with animals who are shy, anxious, energetic, or just need a little extra time and attention. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and really enjoy caring for them. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like the little prince or princess they are...with lots of love, attention, cuddles, playtime, and care tailored to what makes them happiest. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have a lot of flexibility to give pets the attention they need. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication, and plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and I can easily adjust to their normal routine as much as possible. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks or triggers before caring for them. In my home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and a calm environment where they can settle in at their own pace. I never force interactions and am very comfortable giving shy or nervous animals the space they need to feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully. My years in rescue have made me especially attentive to body language and changes in behavior, so I’m always keeping an eye on how your pet is feeling. And of course, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furbaby is safe, happy, and getting lots of love.
“I can’t say enough good about Melody. We would leave Gaia in her care any time. If she lived close to us and we were going away for a month, we would leave Gaia in her care and feel 100% secure. She has a lovely environment for a dog ( or a human), made our dog feel instantly comfortable, and showed her a really good time.”
“I hesitate to leave a review for Laura lest she become so popular that she’s unable to care for my dog. Laura was born to work with animals. She was fully beamed in to Rigatoni’s needs and moods and he came home happy and relaxed. Laura kept me updated on how Rigs spent his days and sent many photos. I’ve been using Rover for years and Laura is far and away the best pet sitter I’ve ever found.”
“Adaira was fantastic, and I’m certain Meatball had a wonderful time! The photos were amazing, and the daily communication was excellent. I’d definitely see if Adaira was available if Meatball needs a place to stay next time!”
“What a wonderful experience. This family really knows how to accept a pup into their pack straight away. I couldn’t ask for better sitters and will be using them any time I need to leave my dog behind for a bit!”
“I’m so grateful to KaLynn for taking such wonderful care of our dog Jessie. She’s a rescue and normally very nervous of strangers but instantly took to KaLynn. Through the photo’s & messages I could tell she had a really lovely, fun filled stay.”
“Sharon was amazing to help us when we were in need of someone to board our dog. She took him in last minute, loved on him, and went above and beyond for our boy! We are so thankful for her attentiveness and care. We will be booking with Sharon again!”
“Madelyne was welcoming and great with communication. I especially appreciated her updates the weekend. She has a great yard for the pups to play. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Kyle was a great pet sitter! She is super friendly, very responsive in communication, and provides steady updates on how things are going. Her dog, Louie, is a total sweetie and Raz obviously liked hanging out with him. Raz was happy and healthy when I picked him up, which is the whole point! I would definitely recommend Kyle and look forward to contacting her again.”
“Nancy was phenomenal! First time in ages I didn't have to worry about my fur baby while out of town. She provided updates and pictures and was happy to answer questions I had and treated her as one of her own. I cannot say enough great things about our experience. Definitely recommend as she is amazing.”
“Carlina did a great job with our dog, Maddy. She checked in and sent pics. I really appreciated that it was just our dog and Carolina’s dog there - I think too many make it a stressful stay. Maddy said she was a 10/10, bed and treats were great.”
“Hope and her family are animal lovers and it shows. They were flexible about drop off and pickup times and weren't offended when I asked for a meet and greet before leaving our dog.”

Paul & family were great! We needed a sitter for Gator on short notice, and he was so attentive and caring. He kept us updated throughout and made sure Gator was comfortable and having a good time. We really appreciated the communication and knowing Gator was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Paul!
Amanda did a great job caring for my little senior who turned out to be a more challenging pet sit than anticipated. With his dementia and strong separation anxiety since the loss of his brother, apparently he was not an ideal house guest. Amanda managed it and provided honest feedback.

There are 372 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Candler. About 95% of Candler sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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 pet, 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
