“Joules was great with our anxious dog! They helped make sure he was comforted during 4th of July fireworks and were flexible when flight changes shifted our plans. We appreciated knowing Toby was taken care of!”

“I hesitate to write this because I want Claudia all to myself whenever we go away from now on! She is responsive, responsible, our house was as we left it and our pups and plants were well cared for and happy. Will definitely use her again and again as long as she’s willing!”

“We came home from a four-day trip to a happy, healthy dog who received Rose's excellent care. She was equally gracious about caring for our house, even our ailing basil plant. And her pet photography gave us the best photos we've had of our dog in a long time. She's also a joy to be around. We would give her ten stars if we could.”


About: I can't wait to meet your doggies! We’ve rescued a few bulldogs in the past and I am comfortable taking care of dogs with special needs but love all kinds. We currently have 2 senior fur babies, and a young Chihuahua. I have pet sit for friends and family and am excited to make new furry friends. I work a 9-5 remote job, so I have lots of flexibility and my evenings and weekends are free. I love taking my doggies for walks. If your dog loves car rides, like mine does I am happy to bring them on adventures. I have lots of toys to play with! I am happy to host dogs in my home or go to them. Any dogs that stay with me can be kept with my dogs or separated.
“Luna stayed at our house with our lab for a week. Our pup seemed happy when we returned; Luna had to give her meds twice a day and follow her multi a-step feeding schedule. The house was clean and orderly ( and mail was picked up!). We hope to be in contact with Luna every time we have to be away from home she was great and communicative!”


About: Fun fact: I began dog walking/sitting at just the age of 15 in Los Angeles, where I’m originally from. The old school way: pinning flyers around my neighborhood. My first client: a Great Dane as big as me. We soon became best friends. I am attentive and adapt easily to all sorts of pets — I know when it’s time to play, time to eat, and time to mellow out. I ensure all fur babies never feel like they are alone ~ In some way, we exchange. Whether it be through conversation, music, toy time, cuddles, and more. One of my proudest moments: An extremely shy black cat who rarely allows to be touched, laid on my tummy and napped for a couple of hours, at the third sitting call. I’m currently transitioning jobs (completely remote) and have ample free time to tap into all of my side gigs. Essentially, I am super flexible at this point in time. I, naturally, am active and will take long walks daily - and I’m sure your dog does too! If your dog enjoys running, we can do that together as well! As for cats, I love cuddles and purrs - my touch is soft, and I know cat play. I am naturally very observant and detail-oriented - meaning I will adapt according to your fur baby’s comfort level, preferences, and passions. Should your pet require a smaller, enclosed space, I will pick up on that! I am attentive to needs and ensuring water is filled up, and bellies are full when the time comes. I am also aware of keeping things out of reach when I am not around.
“Jaime house sat for me and was great with my dog, cats, and chickens! He really cared about our animals while we were on a longer trip, gave frequent updates and pictures. I look forward to having a chance to book him again! I would definitely recommend Jaime for your pet needs!”


About: Hello, my name is Anna and I am excited to care for your pets! I have many years of experience working with animals, from pet-sitting in my home, neighborhood, and campus to volunteering in animal shelters. I am a third-year environmental science student at Cornell University. I have experience administering oral and topical medication to pets, have cared for senior pets, and know how to safely remove ticks. I love hiking and will make sure your energetic pup gets all the exercise they need! I have a car and am happy to bring animals along on adventures. I am a student with a flexible schedule and a car to get me and your animals to where they need to go! Overnight stays are easy for me to do and I often have time for long walks. I can and will care for your pets in any way you need me to! I can easily house sit as well and chauffeur pets to veterinary care or other appointments.
About: I have had Pets my entire life and have taken care of them since I can remember. I take care of family friends Dogs and Cats. I’ve house sitter for them and taken their dogs for walks for years. I love treating each pet with the same level of love they would get from their owners since they aren’t there. I do dog walking services around my neighborhood and enjoy being able to look out for our furry friends. I have been taking care of pets all my life. I am home for the summer from college and without a full time job I am able to be of pet care assistance at almost anytime. I believe that taking care of pets is a high priority in life and it deserves the same time and care as any other job. I believe that all pets deserve love and care the same way their owners would care for them. When an owner is not with the pet they deserve extra care to make them feel loved. I enjoy spending time with pets and giving them my time just as much as they may enjoy it. Pets are a major priority in my life and I think they deserve attention and care as much as we can give them.
About: I have enjoyed dog walking/sitting for the past 12 years. I started in high school and instantly fell in love with it. I enjoy daily walks myself, but they are always more fun with a walking buddy I am in school and working part time. My schedule is open most afternoons and weekends. Since my schooling is fully online I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I have a big yard that is perfect for letting dogs run around and a middle-aged cat who loves making new friends, though he is perfectly happy to sleep in a dark corner if the friends are not so friendly.
About: I can't remember a moment in my life when I haven't been surrounded by animals, I grew up in a neighborhood full of dogs and my household was always full of cats. I wasn't a stranger to keeping the peace between the two. I loved walking my neighbor's dog, always helped to keep in shape as an athlete. I am used to walking/ running with larger dogs so keeping up and gaining control of them will never be an issue. My favorite part of day is coming home and seeing my pets! I'm more available in the early morning, evening or on weekend. I try my best to work with your schedule so this runs as smooth as possible without interference or interrupting your daily life and business! I try my best to spend time with my animals when I can, tho my cat tends to ignore me, he still heat all the pets and cuddles he deserves!

About: About Me 🐾 Hi!! I’m a 30-year-old elementary school teacher who absolutely loves animals 💛 I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life—it’s something that just comes naturally to me! I’ve had the opportunity to dog sit for a few wonderful families (including one with both dogs and a cat!), and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet is playful, loves to cuddle, or prefers a calm and cozy environment, I’m happy to match their energy and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, and very trustworthy. Families trust me every day with their children, and I bring that same level of care and dependability when looking after pets. I understand how important routines are and how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone—and I don’t take that lightly. I will treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and so well cared for while you’re away. My Experience 🐶🐱 - Grew up on a farm (lots of hands-on animal care!) - Dog sitting experience with multiple families - Experience caring for both dogs and cats in the same home - Comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and routines A Little Extra 🐾 I love sending updates, pictures, and little check-ins so you always feel connected and reassured 😊 Availability 🐾 I’m available for pet care before and after school during the week, which works great for morning visits, walks, or evening check-ins. As a teacher, I have a consistent daily schedule, so you can count on me to be dependable and on time. I’m also open to weekend care when my schedule allows—feel free to reach out and I’ll always do my best to accommodate! Safety, Trust & Environment 🐾 I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. As a teacher, I’m very responsible, trustworthy, and detail-oriented, so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and doing well 😊
About: Large dominant dog experience. Drop in visits and walks during the week available at this time. New puppies to seniors and special needs that need some love. Early morning and late day drop ins and walks. I work mid shift with flexible hours. Looking to help with short potty breaks before pet parents can get home from out of town. We use crates but understand it's not necessary for all dogs at home. I need to know the client's local veterinarian in case of emergency and if the dogs know basic obedience when coming to your home.
About: Hey! I'm Yazmeen. I've been petsitting for the last 8 years. I started with my sister and continued on my own. I have experience giving medication and with senior dogs as well as kittens. I love a long walk if the dog is up for it, and I'm always down to play and snuggle. Let me know if you're interested! My schedule is pretty flexible right now. I I usually wake up early, so I don't mind an early walk or feeding schedule. I typically go to bed around 11pm-midnight, but I am happy to work around a pet's schedule, especially to accommodate any medications or weather. I was raised to leave things better than I found them, so I always do a thorough clean before I leave a petsitting gig (including washing sheets, so you can go straight to bed!) I can also bring in mail and water plants if you give me a watering schedule.

Lindsay is wonderful! She saved us in a pinch (we had not planned ahead well:) and turned out to be a fantastic house/pet-sitter. Our dog and cat looked very content when we returned and, a particularly pleasant surprise, our house looked cleaner than we had left it! Thank you, Lindsay, for your excellent care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Candor on Rover is $49.95 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 259 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Candor. 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 Candor 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 Candor 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 Candor 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 Candor. On Rover:
- 78% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
