“This was our first experience with Rover and Stacie definitely set the bar very, very high. She offered to meet with us ahead of our trip to meet our dog and learn the routine, which really showed that she cares about what she does. She was so sweet to our little guy and sent is so many pictures! (Apparently way more photos than my friends received from their Rover sitters) She provided us with so much peace of mind knowing that our dog was in good hands while we were away. Thank you again, Stacie!!”
“Stacy did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She did everything we asked and was very pleasant to communicate with. I would happily trust her to take care of our pets again next time we are away.”
“Lynn is always great with our dogs and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy and healthy when we’re away. Our girls love her and will definitely continue booking with her!”
About: I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog's unique personality and pace. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a sniff walk, or needs a little extra motivation, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'll treat your dog like family, arrive on time, and provide photo updates and a summary after every walk so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every walk a positive, enjoyable experience that gives your dog exercise, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I'm currently working remotely and part-time, so my schedule is very flexible, and I have availability mornings, noon and late afternoons to care for your pets. I have a fenced-in yard, but I take pets for three structured walks during the day. Since it's summer and hot, I take them on a 1.4-mile walk in the morning and two shorter 10-minute walks at midday and late afternoon.
“Ella is the BEST. She is responsible, warm, thoughtful, and reliable. She took excellent care of our cat while we were away - I had total peace of mind that he was being lovingly cared for!”
“Lauren always exceeds every expectation. She wasn’t just feeding our cats, she spent quality time with them, sent tons of pictures and videos, kept us updated after every visit, and made sure everything in our home was taken care of. She even managed our automatic litter box, brought in deliveries, communicated about scheduling, and handled last-minute changes with incredible kindness. Coming home to relaxed, happy cats is the best review we could possibly give. We’ll continue booking Lauren whenever she’s available”
“Jax was patient with our skittish guy and had great ideas to make him more comfortable. She was also flexible when I unexpectedly came home early - would definitely have her watch Tofu again.”
“Solange was absolutely UH-MAZE-ING! I almost hate to leave a great review because I don’t want anyone to snatch her up from me! Lol! She was so good with all THREE of my big pups. She followed all of my directions to a T and checked in with me everyday. I know having 3 dogs to care for can be a bit much but she handled it with grace, and care. She’s stuck with me and my crew now. I’m already booking her for my next work trip! She’s a pleasure to work with. :)”
“First time using Rover so I was nervous but Kamron put me right at ease. He was friendly and listened well to my instructions. My cats warmed up to him right away and one of my cats doesn’t like strangers. His daily notes and photos were great and each day I was away I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands I would highly recommend Kamron.”
“Deedee is such a sweetheart and I love how she interacted with Sam. She was prompt and thoughtful, even bringing a package inside during a drop in, and it’s evident that Sam took to her well and listened. She also took plenty of pictures which I loved seeing while at work. Would definitely work with DeeDee again!”
“Andre was amazing with our two cats. He ensures they are taken care of, get lots of pets and playtime during his visits. Appreciate everything he does when we are away. Highly recommend.”
“Megan did an incredible job - following instructions, sending cute photos and lovely messages to describe the visit - giving me great peace of mind during a long trip away. I will definitely be rebooking Megan in the future. Great job Megan! You are a life saver.”
“Melanie was great taking care of our cats again! We appreciated how thorough and communicative she was. She fed them, played with them, cleaned up their litter boxes, and even proactively turned our faucets to a drip with the cold weather coming. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlyn is a competent and trustworthy pet sitter who's skilled and confident in giving medications and injections. We're so happy that she gave great care to our cats and communicated with us regularly.”
“Maya was great! She was very responsive when booking, and took great care of my cat during daily check-ins. She made sure she had food, water, a clean litter box and was played with. She even took her on a few walks around my courtyard! She sent photos every day as well. I definitely recommend Maya to anyone!”
“Julianna provides great feedback about my dog during her visits and is super responsive! I appreciate the support system of an experienced pet sitter while adjusting to new routines and discovering new behaviors of my new rescue dog.”
“Couldn’t recommend Elizabeth enough! She was watched my dog and 2 cats while I traveled internationally. She was incredibly accommodating and communicative. This was our first time leaving our dog for so long and she did a wonderful job of making him feel comfortable and relaxed. One of my cats also is usually incredibly shy around strangers and Elizabeth is the only sitter I’ve used from Rover who he comes out for. Our flight got delayed and Elizabeth was very accommodating to the change in the schedule. We are so appreciative!”
“Laura did a great job of cat sitting for our cat! Our cat is notoriously feisty with new people, but Laura put her at ease. Would definitely recommend and book Laura again!”
“Brooke is so kind & was so wonderful with our cats. They really seemed to love her & looked so happy to see her every day. She vacuumed and cleaned up after them without even being asked. So thankful we found her! Thank you Brooke!!”

Georga did a wonderful job caring for our dog and 2 cats while we were out of town for a week. Our pets got along well with her, even our more shy cat who warmed up to her quickly. She let us know how each pet was doing after each visit, followed the instructions for each one, and kept their areas tidy. We would definitely recommend her and be happy to have her drop in on them again!
We've left a review before, but we're always happy to know when Anna is able to cat sit for us. So please take another 5 stars! She leaves such sweet reports of the day, and notices the small things. Our old kitty injures herself easily, so knowing that she's keeping an eye on her body and behavior really gives me peace of mind. Thank you, Anna!
I was dealing with a medical crisis when I made my first booking with Rover and their sitter, Jax. Jax jumped right in and coached me through the process so I could get to the hospital. My 2 dogs & 2 indoor feral cats are rescues, seniors and have behavioral and/or medical special needs. The second I walked in the house they were stress-free, so I knew they felt as comfortable and safe as I did with Jax..One of my dogs went outside ears up, tongue out, smiling expecting to find Jax. They went way above and beyond giving me a chance to concentrate on my health.
Kamron was great - very communicative and sent me timely updates on both kitties. Lots of pictures (which are always appreciated) and I could tell our friendlier cat was happy to spend time with them. Will definitely book with Kamron again in the future, if available!
Remington is such an amazing sitter! Incredibly kind and goes out of his way to help when he doesn’t have to. For example, my kitten smashed our glass soap dispenser in our sink and he (without hesitation) picked up all the pieces and tossed them to prevent any kitty injuries! I was recommended Remington by a friend who also had a great experience, and he definitely exceeded expectations! 10/10 recommend!!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Decatur on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
