“Lyric is 10/10 recommend for sitting your puppies. They fell in love with her in a day and I was sad to see the visits in because they will be looking for her. I will book her in the future 10000000%. Thank you Lyric for taking care of my precious pups.”
“Jeanmarie was an excellent cat sitter while we were out of town! She was always on time and sent updates daily, which was much appreciated. We felt very comfortable with her watching our cats and we would definitely recommend her services and will book her for any future cat sitting needs!”
“Melissa and Jordan came to Castaways (Sun Outdoors) in Ocean City this weekend to walk our two golden retrievers during the day! They shared pictures and it looks like the pups had so much fun with them. When back in town and staying at castaways I will definitely use them again!!”
“Grace did drop in visits on our cat again and was so great! Our cat got lots of attention and care while we were gone. The reports we got back were also super detailed, and had some great photos!”
“Renee is absolutely amazing. Our dog Birdie loves her. She took care of him for three days. She sent us very detailed reports and many photos during her visits. She is great at communicating and everything went so smooth thanks to her. I would ask for Renee's help again in the future with no hesitation.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing taking care of our cats while we were away. She kept us consistently updated with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really took the time to get to know each of them. Our more social cat warmed up to her right away, and even our shy one started to come around by the end. She went above and beyond with little things like leaving treats, checking all feeders and bowls, and making sure everything in the house was in great shape. She was also super communicative and flexible with timing, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. We fully trust her and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“Mirabella did a wonderful job checking in on our cats on short notice. She kept the dishes full, cleaned the boxes, and provided photos of the ones she managed to spot. Will book again!”
“Morgan was the perfect pet sitter- our cat was better than when we left him! She truly cares for the pets and is extremely responsive/ communicative! Will definitely use Morgan again!”
“Jordyn was excellent! We have 3 large dogs and a cat and Jordyn was up for the challenge! She was kind with us and our pets and sent tons of pictures! 10/10 would recommend Jordyn if you have large dogs and need someone who knows how to handle them!”
“Cabby is wonderful. My pup liked her as soon as they met, which made me feel comfortable and at ease about leaving them together. She was friendly, prompt with all drop-ins, and she communicated well and often. Would definitely recommend!”
“We love Emma and so do our pets 🥹 Rosie hates storms/rain and I am sure was not the easiest to take out and yet Emma succeeded without issue. Will continue booking her whenever we go out of town!”

About: I've owned dogs my entire life. My family has a special place in their hearts for dogs. We've had multiple at once with each set. I'm open days and nights. Dogs seem to always love me because maybe they smell the upbeat personality I am very willingly to share with them. I've helped my friend who volunteers at the shelter a couple of times when they would have wild storm days. I want to work at a vet someday. I love animals and I will dedicate my life to ensuring they have a beautiful one! I also love to exercise so I take walks that the dog can most definitely join in on. I am perfect at timing so she/he will always be feed and cared for on time.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Decatur is $20

Lindsey was awesome and did a fantastic job caring for my dog, Angel. The pictures and videos took the story. Angel was so happy and surprised me, on how Lindsey could bring the best version of Angel. It has taught me where I need to work on to better our relationship. I was impressed with Lindsey’s professionalism and all the extra things done (bushed Angel’s undercoat) I highly recommend Lindsey dog care services. I was was truly delighted and would rebook without hesitation! Thank you Rover!!
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.
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 were pleasantly surprised to see our Barley so relaxed and himself when we arrived back home after the visit. We knew Jennifer and he would be great together since Jennifer has such a peaceful and attentive nature. We received wonderful photos of him looking happy and calm. Love them! Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such good care of Barley and allowing us to get out of the house for a bit without the worry. We appreciate your time and looking forward to the next visit very soon!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Decatur stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Decatur 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!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Decatur with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
