“Jessica is communicative, punctual, and responsible. She took amazing care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats in our home. She managed their medications and our 1-year-old puppy’s high energy. We highly recommend her!”
“Our animals were so well taken care of and they were happy when we got home. She spent the night here but there was no trace of her being here at all. She has been very flexible with the dates because of a death in our family. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Ashley!!”
“Jose was a fantastic in-house sitter for my Labrador Retriever, she took to him immediately and he was a great communicator, sending plenty of updates and pics. He left my house neat as a pin, I will definitely utilize his services again!”
“Shaine was an incredible house sitter for Ruby! She was the most communicative sitter we have had and very patient with our scared pup. I also appreciated the questions she asked about Ruby and my preferences for communication during her stay. We’re looking forward to booking her again. Thank you Shaine!!”
“Lyric did a fantastic job! Kept watch over our fur babies and sent us updated pics throughout the house sitting. It was wonderful to have the peace of mind that they were well taken care of while we were away :)”
“Lindsay was an absolute delight! She was incredibly attentive and caring with our kitten. She made sure he got plenty of playtime and attention while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was and would definitely recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Jeanmarie does such a great job with our dog and our parrot. Our dog really loves Jeanmarie and our parrot shows her love with extra singing with Jeanmarie is there. She left our house in great shape and communicated regularly with us. We have used Jeanmarie in the past and would use her again!”
About: Over the past year, I've pet sat regularly for friends, including overnight house-sitting stays and drop-in visits. My friends have trusted me with repeat visits because I stick to routines, pay close attention to each pet's needs, and communicate clearly while they're away. My schedule is wide open right now (the place I worked went out of business) so I have plenty of availability for pet sitting throughout the week. I keep a regular daytime schedule and don't stay out or up late. A couple of evenings a week I have roller derby practice or networking events, but I'm typically home by 10 PM so this won't affect overnight availability. I try to be a calm, attentive presence during visits, and I carefully follow instructions on how to care for your pets. I make sure to have vet and emergency information before you leave and will let you know immediately if anything comes up while you're away. I make sure to lock up and set the alarm every time I leave and leave your home as I found it. I have references from repeat clients if you'd like to check with them first.
“Did an amazing job with our pets and really went above and beyond with her pet sitting services. She stayed at our home with the animals and was a great house guest while we were gone”
“Julia was awesome. We couldn’t be happier with how well she took care of our babies and treated our house. Julia was very communicative and the daily photos were perfect for us to feel great about leaving our girls in her care. No second thoughts about using Julia again on our next trip.”
About: I love animals but can’t have pets in my apartment so would appreciate sharing that love with your pet! I have been caring for a variety of pets since 2019, mostly dogs & cats (and the occasional bird!). I have experience with dogs of all sizes (from chihuahuas to Great Danes) and most ages. I have less experience with puppies but lots of experience with senior dogs. I have experience with high energy dogs that need multiple walks a day and dogs that struggle with mobility. I have experience with dogs who require medication. I have experience with cats of all temperaments. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I have a fairly flexible schedule so am available during the day most days and on weekends. I have been regularly caring for my parents’ elderly Great Dane (11 years old now) since 2020. I am looking forward to spending more time caring for pets. I care for pets in their home environment according to the standards set by the owners. I am very conscious of varying family rules on things such as furniture and am happy to adhere to those expectations. I prefer to stick to whatever schedule the pet(s) are used to (regular walk times, regular feeding times, etc).
“Sydney went about and beyond with my anxious dog, Rosie. They also left my home in better condition when what they found it. They provided regular updates, pictures, videos. I would highly recommend for any of your pet care/housesitting needs. It’s always hard to be away from our pets but I know my dog will be in great care with Sydney!!”
About: Hey Everyone!! I'm lorenzo. I'm very enthusiastic, hardworking, dependable with a variety of skills, and common sense including but not limited to; analytical skills, organizational abilities, and creativity in problem solving both with people and animals. To simply put it I LOVE dogs! I'm an Atlanta native. I've been surrounded by so many loving animals that I have cared for throughout my life. I am familiar with many breeds and love all shapes, sizes, and ages of dogs. All I ask from the owners is that we maintain healthy communication to ensure I can provide the best service for your special loved ones. I can't wait to meet you, and I and your canine companion to create a long lasting friendship with both of you!
About: I’ve had at least one dog in my household since I was young. I grew up helping my mom foster over 10 dogs as well, volunteered at shelters, and have experience with all ages and sizes. I recently lost my own dog of 14 years and would love to put my energy back into helping out you and your own loved pups. I’ll be free Sunday evenings, all day Mondays and Tuesdays, Fridays before 6pm, and occasional Saturdays. It a bit random at the moment but I can be flexible! I will treat your home with respect and can accommodate any needs and requests that you may want! I’m quite easy and have great communication.
“Stephen was perfect my girls. I appreciate that he was available at late notice and was so accommodating. Lizzie and JuneBug warmed up to him immediately. I am looking forward to using Stephen again.”
“We had the pleasure of having Anna take care of Philip while we were away, and she did an outstanding job. She took wonderful care of him, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We came back to a spotless home just as we left it, and most importantly, Philip was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats (often at the same time) since I was old enough to hold the leash and walk with one of my childhood family pups Hershey on my own. My spouse (Paroma) and I have fostered and rescued dogs and cats of all ages and sizes -- from rambunctious puppies and kittens to senior fospice (foster hospice) cats and dogs -- since 2018. We currently have a Pitty-mix (Mako) our long-legged Jack Russell terrier/Chihuahua/Corgi (Boris) and a sweet orange cat named Cathulu (or Cat, for short). Our animal care philosophy is simple: when your animal is with us, I (we) ensure they know they're loved, well-fed, and have plenty of play time, walks, and/or good company, no matter where they are. I am currently available for full time dog/cat sitting (our house boarding or in your house overnights), in-house/apartment visits, walks, play time, or anything besides certified training and grooming. I am available all seven calendar days in the week. I have a fenced yard, two sweet dogs and a cat to keep your creature company. If your dog or cat prefers their own space, I will absolutely ensure they have it in our home. When we schedule an appointment, I will gladly schedule a complimentary "meet and greet" for your pet(s) and I to get to know each other. During our "meet and greet," I'll ask you all of the questions related to your lovely pet's care. No "special need" or "quirk" will surprise me, so please feel free to share anything and everything with me as we meet and greet. I would be honored to take care of your sweet pet. They're family: they deserved to be treated like it.
About: I grew up with a Doberman (Raven) and a Shih-Tzu (Salem) who I loved dearly. Now, I have a cat named Harvest who I adopted a year ago! I spent my senior year of high school volunteering with Citizens for Animal Protection (CAP) in Houston, TX. I also volunteered at a shelter in Alexandria, VA during the brief time I lived there. I am available weekdays after 6pm for drop-in visits and dog walking. I can house sit Fri-Sun, beginning Fri evening and leaving Sun evening. I will have more daytime availability starting mid-August and will update this then. I live in a quiet one-bedroom apartment with my cat, Harvest. I'm often reading or sitting out on my balcony enjoying the peace.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Candler-McAfee
Lindsey is truly amazing! When you have two senior dogs, including one who is 16, every day can bring a little worry. Not because anything is necessarily wrong, but simply because they’re getting older. I was away for work for two weeks, and Lindsey managed to put all of my worries at ease. She was an impeccable communicator. I received frequent updates and photos, and my dogs looked genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable in her care. I can’t thank Lindsey enough for giving me such peace of mind while I was away!
Jessica was absolutely exceptional. Leaving your home and a young kitten in someone else’s care can be stressful, but Jessica made the entire experience effortless from start to finish. She treated our home with incredible respect, keeping everything spotless and exactly as we left it. More importantly, she gave our kitten so much love, attention, and playtime that we never once worried while we were away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the week, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and made it clear our little one was happy, comfortable, and thriving. It’s obvious that Jessica genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She is dependable, communicative, kind, and went above and beyond in every way. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitten and a home that was even tidier than when we left. We would trust Jessica again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or house sitter. She is truly one of the best, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Five stars isn’t enough!
Jess was amazing with Ellie while I was on vacation. She was attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was happy and well cared for. She took her on walks, kept me updated, and even gave her a bath. I felt completely comfortable knowing Ellie was in such good hands. Highly recommend Jess!
Ace was absolutely amazing with our cats! We were pretty anxious about leaving them—especially since we have an older cat and a newer, younger one we weren’t sure would do well together—but she put our minds completely at ease. She took such great care of them and kept us updated with pictures while we were away, which meant so much to us. It was such a relief to come home and see that both cats were happy and doing well (and even getting along!). You can really tell she cares, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave them. We would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Candler-McAfee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Candler-McAfee on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,683 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Candler-McAfee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Candler-McAfee walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Candler-McAfee maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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-McAfee 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Candler-McAfee. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
