“Shaine is fantastic. She was proactively communicative, punctual, professional and reliable. She stayed in our home with Jenny and left everything in great shape. We appreciated daily updates, including when she arrived at the house. Would book with Shaine again in the future. Thanks!”
“Eve was lovely and wonderful with Wesley! Wes is a bit of a tricky dog and Eve paid close attention to the details during our meet and greet and had a successful weekend with him! She kept us up to date with photos and summaries and we came back to a happy and fulfilled pup :)”
“Viva is a wonderful communicator, consistently sending photos and videos of my happy pup. This is my second booking with her. She’s reliable, has high energy and my home looks like she hasn’t been here. 🙂 Highly recommend viva and will continue to book with her.”
“Jeanmarie spent entire days with Bindi, my quirky little Italian greyhound. I appreciated all the photos and updates, and Bindi appreciated all the cuddles and company. I already have Jeanmarie booked for future housesits!”
About: Hi! I'm Jacqueline, and I'd love to help care for your pets as if they were my own. As a lifelong animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I had the privilege of sharing 15 wonderful years with my dog, and today I'm the proud pet parent of a playful 5-year-old cat. I also regularly pet sit for close friends for years now, caring for both dogs and cats while they're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you're gone. Whether that means long walks, games of fetch, plenty of playtime, belly rubs, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I'll tailor my care to your pet's personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and loved. I'm dependable, attentive, and believe pets deserve more than just the basics; they deserve companionship, affection, and someone who truly enjoys being with them. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am available 7 days a week, daytime and evenings for quick drop-ins, extended hours, and overnight stays. As a cat and dog owner, I love caring for both types of pets! I am available to care for your pets in your home, whether that means a visit to care for them or staying in your home. My goal is to ensure the pet owner(s) and the pet(s) are comfortable and well taken care of.
“I am so grateful to have found Debra after a challenging experience with a previous dog sitter. From the moment she was assigned to care for my dog, it was clear that he was in excellent hands. Looking forward to using Debra in the future.”
“Ashley was AMAZING with our 2 frenchies. Our trip was last minute so we didn’t have time for a meet and greet. I was nervous our older frenchie might be a bit of a handful at first. Upon her arrival I received pictures of them all snuggled up with her on the couch. She went above and beyond in all ways. Updates and pictures were provided during her in-home stay and she even cleaned up my kitchen (we left in a hurry). So not necessary, but what a treat when we returned. Such a pleasure to have Ashley caring for our fur babies. I’m definitely going to be a repeat customer of hers. A-1”
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 in early 2025. I volunteer with Lifeline’s “Dog for the Day” program periodically where I take a dog from the shelter to Piedmont Park for 3-4 hours. Joy, the white dog in one of my cover photos, was my first dog for the day. I am available Mon until 3pm and all day Fri for drop-in visits and dog walking. I can also house sit Fri-Sun, beginning Fri evening and leaving Sun evening. 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.
“Victoria is such an amazing sitter! She has awesome energy and is so attentive! She sent so many photos and updates, stayed so active, and was so intuitive with getting our eternally dehydrated dog to drink water. She also was so helpful in our house and left everything exactly how she left it!”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
“15/10 would recommend Manuela for dog and housesitting! She ensured our dog, Finn had as good a vacation as we did going out of town for a week. She was quick to respond and coordinate a meet and greet, flexible with arrival/departure times, and sent TONS of photo and video updates. Her experience with animals is obvious and she even went above and beyond taking Finn to the park, sharing one of her extra dog "thunder shirts" when Finn was afraid during a storm, and spoiling him with treats and cuddles. She left the house in perfect condition and even helped water my garden while we were gone. Thank you Manuela!”
“It was great to have Desiree watch our dogs while away. I appreciate her flexibility with last days timing as my flight arrived later then originally thought.”
About: I genuinely love spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities! I love taking dogs on walks and runs around the neighborhood, exploring hiking trails, or just relaxing at home. I love making sure every pet is happy and cared for, and pay close attention to their hygiene, safety, and daily routines. I have plenty of experience with with large, energetic breeds, but love little ones too! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pets throughout the week and weekends. They will get plenty of attention, playtime, and personalized care throughout the day, so they always feel happy and loved. I have two fenced yards where dogs can safely play and enjoy time outside. I also have a friendly family dog who loves having other dogs around! Whether it is at your home or mine, I'll make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable! When we're out on walks, their safety is my top priority.
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs. They seem to know that I genuinely love being around them, and I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routines, and individual needs. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, happy, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. 🐾 I’m experienced with feeding, exercise, medications, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m attentive to the little things that help them feel secure and cared for. I also take pride in caring for your home. I’m responsible, respectful, tidy, and detail-oriented, and I’ll make sure things are well cared for while you’re gone. You’ll come home to a happy, well-loved dog and a clean, cared-for home. I don’t just watch dogs—I get to know them. ❤️ Dogsitting is my full-time gig so if I’ve taken you on as a client, your dog will receive the absolute best care, with attention given to their routine, including walks, playtime, feeding and cuddles. In my home, your dog will receive the pet-centered care they deserve per your directions (feeding, walks, etc) They will have a room to feel safe, inside or outside a crate. They will be encouraged to sit on the couch or in a dog bed for chill time, receive frequent walks (I do not currently have a fenced yard) and will be left alone for 2-3 hours max.
“I can’t say enough good things about Sahara! This was the very first time I left my dogs with someone outside of my immediate family, so I was naturally nervous. From the moment I left for vacation, she made me and my fur babies feel completely at ease. She was caring, reliable, attentive, and treated my dogs like they were her own. Thank you!!!!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Candler-McAfee
Jasmine was available for house and dog sitting on short notice. She came to the house to meet me and the dogs prior to the engagement. She was responsible, friendly, and easy to communicate with, giving us daily updates on the dogs. She did a great job taking care of the house and dogs and that allowed us to enjoy a long weekend away. I recommend her to any pet owner!
Eve was lovely and wonderful with Wesley! Wes is a bit of a tricky dog and Eve paid close attention to the details during our meet and greet and had a successful weekend with him! She kept us up to date with photos and summaries and we came back to a happy and fulfilled pup :)
Emily was wonderful about communicating with us and sending pics of the pups while we were away. She stayed in our home & even took our dog to daycare one day. We fully trust her & the dogs LOVED HER!! We will recommend her to our friends and neighbors and look forward to using her services again soon!
Caitlin was above and beyond an amazing sitter for my boy Prawn! She stepped in on short notice when I had to leave for a family emergency and took great care of him. I'll definitely be reaching out to her again for future visits and I can see Prawn really enjoyed her company as well!
Shannon is INCREDIBLE. She was quick to respond to a last minute request to watch my pups for the weekend and scheduled a meet and greet within the next two days. She was kind, responsible and clearly LOVES dogs. She made me feel comfortable enough to have her watch my pup post-surgery because I knew he’d be in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again! THANK YOU
Amber took excellent care of my two cats! They warmed up to her right away, and she was a reliable communicator throughout her 10-day stay in my apartment. Her daily updates gave me peace of mind, and photos of the cats playing, cuddling, and goofing around warmed my heart. My cats are young, and Amber was attentive to mischief; I appreciated her putting away a full-length mirror when my kitten started chomping cardboard off the back. I returned home to happy, healthy kitties and a clean apartment. I highly recommend Amber, and I hope she’s available when I need to book again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Candler-McAfee is $58 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $79 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,539 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
