“Jax did an amazing job housesitting and watching our two dogs and one cat! Dogs were walked, litter was scooped, laundry and dishes were done, and updates (with pics) were sent daily. We highly recommend her expert services, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation worry-free! Thank you, Jax!!”
“Shaine was so great! My dog struggles with reactivity and takes some time to warm up and she fell in love with Shaine so quickly! Honey getting comfortable with new people is a big deal. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Mike was extremely communicative and took great care of our house and baby Mattie. He took her on lots of walks and gave lots of updates throughout the weekend. Thank you Mike!”
“Abbigail did a great job petting sitting for my 2 pups in my home. I have one dog with special needs and she provided excellent care to both of them. I came back to my house with it just the way I left it, and she provided regular updates with photos. She was great!”
“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.”
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.
“Ashley stayed in our home and was great with our dog for our week away - she came by to visit before the stay, sent us a bunch of pictures an updates and we could tell he was a happy guy! Very respectful of both our home and our dog’s routines. We were thrilled that he had such a great experience and highly recommend her services. Will have her back again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“James is a fabulous pet and house sitter! He took in the mail, watered some new plants and even used his dog training skills to teach our ol’ man Blue some new manners while out on walks. It’s also helpful that James lives 3 min away from us in Grant Park. We will definitely use James again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for close family members, caring for their small dogs with love and patience. I also own a Rottweiler, so I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds. These experiences have taught me responsibility, trust, and how to connect with different pets, making me a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’m flexible on weekends, after work hours, and during holidays, which gives me plenty of availability to provide consistent, attentive care. I make sure to prioritize each pet’s needs while balancing my other responsibilities. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always follow their routines to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide fresh food, water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I also make sure to follow any special care instructions and keep their space clean. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of exercise, play, and rest. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel happy and cared for wherever they are.
“Chloe did an amazing job watching our two young dogs in our new home which was in a bit of disarray from moving. The dogs and the house were well taken care of. She communicated well with us throughout our trip.”
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.
“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”
“This is the 3rd or 4th time Tiana has watched my boys and she is absolutely amazing! So responsive and keeps me updated at all times. Truly the best sitter I’ve found on Rover!! 10/10 would recommend”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing and took great care of our dog Ranger while we were out of town. The house was immaculate when we returned including the sheets washed which was so appreciated! Ranger got lots of love and we got updates from Brittany throughout. We will absolutely work with Brittany again!”
“Cabby did an excellent job taking care of Mila. She provided routine updates and pictures. She also left my place very clean. Your pet will be in good hands with Cabby. I would definitely book her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Candler-McAfee
Our dogs, home, and garden were well cared during a 10-day trip abroad. Blake listened to instructions, was super flexible on scheduling, made communication easy, and seemed to really enjoy our pups' company. It felt great to come home to happy dogs and an orderly house.
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!
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!
Bliss stayed at my place and took care of my 2 cats for 5 days. And I couldn't be more thrilled that they did! They sent both photos and video with updates of my cats, who looked so relaxed and happy, which is rare with someone they just met. Bliss is definitely a cat whisperer! They also left my apartment clean and cared for, too. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, Bliss! Rico and Sly send snuggles ;)

FAQs for House Sitting - Candler-McAfee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Candler-McAfee on Rover is $54.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,694 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.
