About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have trained many dogs, including pitbull’s Saint Bernards, Chihuahuas, Maltese, etc. I have taken care of dogs at all ages in stages of life, elderly, puppy, pregnant. I absolutely adore dogs! I am an avid walker and walk over 6 miles daily. I would love to help out some people with furry friends who aren’t able to walk them as much! I am a great choice when it comes to watching your dog when you are away! I am super accountable and enjoy spending time with dogs!
“Kamron was awesome with our dog and friends dog that was staying over. We asked for a last minute drop in and Kamron came through! He left great feedback. It was such a relief having someone we could trust to check on them. He was super quick to respond. He also paid attention to detail and took great care in what we needed. We will use him again for sure! Above and beyond, excellent experience.”
“First time using Rover so it was a relief that it went so smoothly. It was a last minute booking but definitely will be booking Solange again ! P.S. Thanks for taking your shoes off in the house haha”
“Stacy was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous but Stacy made it easy and took great care of my cats. Will be re-booking her for my trip next month!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“Andre did a great job looking after my two cats! He was so kind and considerate, and gave great communication after every visit. I’ll definitely try to book him again!”
“This sitter went well beyond what was requested. They made a soft collar to keep my dog’s post surgical cone comfortable against his bald skin. Very observant and caring”
“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 :)”
“Deedee did an excellent job taking care of our cats! Her daily updates and photos gave us great peace of mind and always left us with a smile. She made sure to give them plenty of playtime and attention, and it was clear how quickly they warmed up to her. I sincerely thank Deedee for her care and happily endorse her services. I will definitely call on her again in the future!”
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 a year ago! I spent my senior year of high school volunteering with Citizens for Animal Protection (CAP) in Houston, TX. I also volunteered at a shelter in Alexandria, VA during the brief time I lived there. I am available weekdays after 6pm for drop-in visits and dog walking. I can house sit Fri-Sun, beginning Fri evening and leaving Sun evening. I will have more daytime availability starting mid-August and will update this then. 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.
About: I am a alumni of maryville college with a biology degree and UAB with a MPH. I have a high passion for animals and would enjoy caring for them, I also have a dog, 2 cats, and bearded dragon of my own so I have experience in the everyday care for them. P.S I ALSO LIZARD SIT !! I have worked at a animal shelter, a popup vaccine clinic for pets, and worked at a spay/neuter clinic. This provides me with over 5 years of basic pet and medical care experience. I also have learned a lot about animal behavior which provides me with the knowledge on how to approach your animal or calm them down of needed. Im a stay at home mom available 24/7. My dog goes on a walk three times a day. We have a dog park that I take then to and give them a little time to be outside and sniff. My pets are very well taken care of and geta lot of attention. My dog is crated when I leave as she is a escape artist and likes to take food off of the counter. However my animals sleep with me every night and gets plenty of cuddles.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Decatur
Melissa and Jordan did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats, and both my cats seemed to LOVE their time together! They got them playing and jumping into their laps for cuddles. They kept them fed, cleaned their litter, and even administered ear medication. We’ll definitely look forward to working with them again for our next trip!
Mary Elena was an amazing sitter! She was so patient with Biscotti while my kitten waited a few visits to open up. Mary Elena was very communicative and sent the best updates and pictures. I had no doubt that Biscotti was in great hands while I was away. Will definitely book again!
Kamron is fantastic! This is the 2nd time I’ve used him. He is very reliable, a great communicator, and responsible. I have 2 cats - one is very friendly and the other is not good with strangers. However from the first time he took care of the cats, both cats took to him right away. I highly recommend Kamron.
Ben was fantastic! Starting with our meet & greet, he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and more importantly that he was prepared to give the best possible care to my pet which he absolutely did. I so appreciated his daily notes and photos and could tell how comfortable and safe my cat felt with him. I would absolutely rebook!
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
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Decatur on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,655 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Decatur. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
