“Melissa and Jordan were great with our pup! They communicated well, sent lots of photos, and overall made us feel ant ease about leaving him in good hands. We will definitely use their help again!”
“Jessica was very patient with our anxious little dog and was resourceful in taking care of him even though he was frightened and being difficult. We appreciate her doing her best for him.”
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.
“Amazing as always! I’ve used Solange’s services twice now and she’s always done a wonderful job with my pups. She follows all my directions to a T and check’s in constantly with pictures and updates. She is a gem!”
About: I have had pets all of the my life including tropical fish, aquatic turtles, Guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs and cats. I also love to care for house plants and outdoor plants. I am starting a new job September 8 so my schedule is pretty open. After September 8, I will be available in the mornings and evenings and available on the weekends. My 2 cats are not a fan of other cats or dogs so I cannot have pets in my home but I am happy to hang out with your pets and go long walks if needed.
“I can’t say enough great things about Elizabeth. She came prepared to our meet and greet with a through list of questions about my cat and our home. She was a great communicator and kept me up to date on what was going on with my cat and sent pictures every day. She even brought in my mail, watered my plants, and took out the trash before she left on her last visit. It’s obvious that my cat loved his time with her. I won’t hesitate to use her services again!”
“Andre was the perfect sitter for our two cats! He did everything we asked, was incredibly attentive and caring, proactively offered to do additional things to make our cats happier, and left very detailed updates and plenty of pictures for every visit. He left no question that we can count on him for future drop-ins.”
“Ella was amazing! She sent fantastic photos every day and I felt very comforted knowing she was taking care of Momo for me. Communication was also awesome and definitely will book again. Thanks Ella!!!”
“Jordyn was great! She came over to meet our dogs beforehand and was so good with them. Provided us a rover card each day so we could see what the dogs were up to when she came! We will definitely be using her in the future :)”
“Ryan is great with our dog Wylder. He drops in over the weekend and takes him for walks/potty breaks. He sends photos of him playing and info on what they did. Wylder definitely seems happier and calmer since Ryan has been dropping in.”
“Hayley was able to accommodate our very last minute booking, and she even managed to squeeze in a meet and greet with the pups beforehand. Our shy girl warmed up Hayley right away, and our high-energy girl definitely found someone to match her energy. Even though it was a short trip, Hayley took lots of photos and wrote up detailed reports. Hayley took great care of our pets while we were away and we would definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
“Mirabella was truly AMAZING! She watched my two cats for two weeks and I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. From day one, she was incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive, and she went above and beyond in every way. She provided consistent updates, photos, and detailed messages that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my cats and treated them like her own — making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. I came home to two very content cats and everything in perfect condition. I would 100% recommend Mirabella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and responsible sitter. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Scar was great! We got photos and trailed updates throughout the trip. Our dog had some medical considerations and these were well looked after. I would absolutely book with them again!”
“My second time booking with Zerandrian and another wonderful experience! I had a last minute change to my travel plans and Zerandrian was super flexible and communicative. Will definitely be re-booking again next time my 4-legged babies need a sitter! Thanks so much, Zerandrian!”
“Manuela was an angel, she took great care of my two cats.. botj were very shy but she was very patient with them. She needed to administer medication to one of them ,, the toughest of the 2 and she was able to chase her all around to give her meds. Will definitely use her services again”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Decatur
Sarah was wonderful and super accommodating. I had to book her last minute, and she delivered on every request I had. She made sure to follow my directions to a tee, and she made my cats feel very loved. She also kept me informed throughout the entire booking. I was nervous about booking someone through Rover for my first time with my beloved angels (my cats), but she made me feel totally at ease. Super professional, kind, and understanding
Elena was a patient and kind sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure my very shy cat Lizzy got her medicine twice daily. She was communicative and I really appreciated the recaps and pictures each visit. Would recommend her for anyone who needs a cat sitter.
My first experience with Rover and happy to have found Emilie..She was very reliable, arrived on time each day and followed the guide we left for feeding etc, While he would not come out of his hiding spot under the bed, despite treat offers, she spent time sitting nearby and playing music and talking to him. Though I hated leaving him alone, her daily reports helped me feel reassured. Definitely recommend Emilie!
Remington took wonderful care of my dog and cat while I was away, and I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals. He provided lots of photos and summaries. I really appreciated the updates because they gave me peace of mind throughout my trip and I’ll definitely be booking again.
Solange has been a great help to me while I recover from hip replacement surgery and have some restrictions on moving around safely. She is very good about keeping me updated on her schedule and her cheerful and helpful presence have been welcome. Cassie looks forward to her visits as much as I do! I can't say enough about how wonderful she has been for both of us.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Decatur on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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.
