“Anais is great — she immediately embraced my rather nervous dogs and her calming / caring presence immediately put them at ease. Can tell my pups were cared for while I was out of town and was pleasantly surprised as Anais went above and beyond. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“This was my first boarding experience and Yunju was fantastic! I received plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Due to a flight delay I didn’t pick her up until late at night and Yunju was so understanding and still let me pick her up that night. I would highly recommend boarding with Yunju and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“This was my first time leaving Cosmo with a stranger. I work crazy hours at times and will be gone for long periods of time. I was hesitant on using Rover at first but felt comfortable once I met Trinise and seen her home. Shes very welcoming, clean and friendly. Trinise kept me updated about Cosmo and sent me pics. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“I'd give 10 stars if I could. With recent long term health issues of one of our dogs, Hope was very understanding and accommodating. She was great and showered both our dogs with love and attention. Thank you!”
“Highly recommend Jacquelyn! My dog looked so comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. The updates were funny and always brought a smile to my face, and it was clear he was treated like family. Would rebook again!”
“manuela went above and beyond to make sure my anxious pup felt safe and comfortable in her home. she sent plenty of pictures and updates. raider came back so sleepy and so happy!”
“Maria was amazing ! She is so nice and kept me updated regularly along with pictures! My pup had a great time and I will definitely be boarding here again ! I advise others to do the same”
“My experience with David was exceptional. My pup was instantly at home when dropping him off to David. David provided pictures and daily updates but overall was just a very pleasant host. Highly recommend.”
“Montel was a great host for Keela! He was welcoming and made his stay comfortable. The back yard was humongous! Plenty of space for Keela to explore. I loved hearing he was very relaxed the entire stay and was well behaved indoors and out. I think he liked being on vacation. Needless to say anytime we travel to Atlanta, we’ve found our sitter. We truly appreciated the level of care Keela received.”
“Marissa is awesome! Super friendly, great with communication, and our dog loves her + Zoey! One of our favorite babysitters and I'm always relaxed when we're out of town, knowing our pup is in great hands.”
“Chimere was great! The communication was amazing. She gave updates throughout the day which really put me at ease and my baby Snowball enjoyed herself. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“We love leaving June with Audrey and Chris! She always is so happy and loved the whole time she is there, and they completely understand and appreciate her goofy, clumsy self!”
About: My senior dog passed away after we shared 18 wonderful years together. I know how much your family members mean to you. I will ensure my time with them will be fun and show care and love as if they were my own. I'm retired and have plenty of time on my hands. One reason for pursuing this opportunity is to get more involved and out of the house. I currently have only my little Percy - he's strictly an indoor cat with his routine - early am feedings and lots of sleep during the day. I love to walk and enjoy having a pal to share the time outside. I do miss my dog, our daily walks are where I hold very fond memories. She loved to bring sticks home and place them in the yard. I have always enjoyed my experience with pet sitters that I've hired. Each person understood how important it is to follow instructions and established routines. I would ensure I have complete understanding of each request and treat your pet as if they were mine.
“Lily took excellent care of my foster dog Harley while I was caring for another pet. She came home happy and and with extra toys! As a pet sitter myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Thank you Lily!”
“Akeeme was amazing and made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy for the first time. He was responsive and truly accommodating for my wild Frenchie that loves attention. I will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and getting to hang out with a pup is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. I’m also an avid hiker, so if your dogs ever need some outdoor time, I’ll be sure they get it. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, high energy dogs, and more. 100% of my bookings will receive photos of their pets, and if my camera is working, I’ll leave behind a Polaroid of them as well! I work from home, so I am available to stay with your dog all day. I can take them outside for potty breaks, walks, or any other needs 24/7. I have a fenced in yard, and walking trails right next to my house. I also am available to stay over at your home and be with your dog 24/7.
“Crispus and his family took very good care of Parker. It was a rainy few days but when dry there was a big enclosed back yard to explore. Parker even got a chance to socialize with other canine friends. Crispus was very generous with his time. Our car broke down and repair delayed our pickup plans, Crispus agreed to take Parker another day. He was a lifesaver! Thanks.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Candler-McAfee
We are extremely pleased with the wonderful care Alyssa and her husband provided for our sweet Bella during her recent boarding stay! Bella received exceptional attention throughout her stay. From daily exercise and walks to playtime, engagement, and making sure she was eating well and receiving her favorite snacks, it was evident that she was in caring and attentive hands. We received daily updates with pictures. Bella looks absolutely wonderful; Alyssa gave her a bath and had her smelling so good! We couldn't be happier with the experience. We truly appreciate the love, attention, and dedication shown to Bella while she was away from home. Thank you again, Alyssa, and your husband, for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby. You guys are amazing! We will definitely be using your boarding services again and highly recommend you to others! Don & Ancilla Reynolds (Bella's Dad & Mom)
Kim was very nice, funny & accommodating for my 5 month old puppy, Mochi. Mochi has a cast on her right hind leg and treated her well. I received the best photos everyday. It made me happy to know Mochi was in good hands And she lives 5min from me. Will use her again. Thanks again Kim!
Jax was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! They’ve never been cared for by anyone other than my parents, so I was pretty nervous leaving them for 10 days. One of my dogs can be a little feisty and challenging, so finding someone I felt comfortable leaving them with was especially important to me. Jax did such a great job making both dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also sent lots of updates and photos, and I really appreciated being able to see how they were doing. It meant so much to know they were in good hands and being cared for so well. I’m incredibly grateful to Jax and would absolutely trust her with my dogs again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who is patient, caring, and genuinely wonderful with their pets! ❤️
Poppy’s first away-camp was fun for him. He’s only 5 months old and I had to leave the country for a few days. We did a pre-visit and met lowkey Luke, the German Sheppard at the home. Poppy adjusted well and was spoiled by Ayelet with playtime and lap naps. I’ve already made a referral to another friend!
Ericka is quite wonderful - she watched our frenchie Cosmo while my wife and were out of town for a long weekend. Her place is perfect for dogs and she has an awesome fenced-in back yard. She sent great updates every day with hilarious pictures and videos. She took excellent care of our little gremlin and was very mindful of his outdoor time in the heat, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Ericka to watch anyone’s pet, and we hope she can watch Cosmo again in the future if she’ll have him (even though he’s worthless when it comes to helping out with the yard work, ha!).
Sarah was great! She took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away, and it was so nice knowing they were in good hands. She was easy to communicate with, dependable, and made the whole experience stress-free. We came home to happy pups! We really appreciate her and would definitely have her watch our dogs again!
Stormee did an amazing job watching my dog Titan this weekend! She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout the weekend with plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Titan was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated how responsible, communicative, and attentive Stormee was. I would definitely trust her with Titan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Candler-McAfee can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Candler-McAfee home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Candler-McAfee.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Candler-McAfee. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
You and your Candler-McAfee sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
