“Madison is great with our cats! She did a great job administering meds, including an inhaler, and played with them to keep them happy while we were away. Plus she was prompt and had great communication throughout, including great photos!”

“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!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was born, having 4 dogs throughout my life along with taking care of friend's and neighbor's dogs around Decatur! I'm a college student taking two online classes over the summer so considering I have a lot of flexibility during the week in the afternoon. I have a nice, fenced backyard with plenty of space to roam and play, making sure to keep an eye on them at all times!
About: I've taken care of house animals for over a decade, working with all types from small dogs and puppies to my very large white lab Drake and a few different cats! I'm comfortable walking, feeding, crating, managing potty breaks, and diffusing stressful situations (I have a dog who was abused as a puppy and struggles with certain new people so I'm no stranger to barking/feelings of threat). As a sitter, I believe a gentle touch and strong boundaries truly help our pets thrive and grow safely. I can't wait to meet your furry friends! I'm currently babysitting part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule during both weekdays and weekends to check in on and take care of your pets! While caring for pets in others' homes, the first thing I seek to establish is trust. I get it, I'm a new person invading your pet's space and it's scary! That's why I initially take some time to build rapport through playing and petting, and I start with slow, gentle movements. Once they feel more comfortable around me, my focus shifts to making sure they have all of my attention, everything they need (food, water, clean bed, etc.), and keeping the home a safe space for them while you are away!
About: I have lived with cats my whole life and have great attention to detail for them. I am also experienced with dogs of different ages and sizes. The most important thing to me is that your pet is happy and healthy. I am open to any opportunites, I have also taken care of chickens and rabbits. I also can take care of plants and maintain the house if you are away. I am currently not working so I am able to devote a lot of my attention to your beloved pets. I am very flexible and always try to communicate if there is an issue or I don't know something. I am always free on weekdays but I may have limited availability on the weekends. I always take care of the space I am in and try to leave it cleaner than I found it. And of course the pets are the main focus and the center of attention! I am very good at following written instructions and if I have any questions I will always ask.
About: I grew up with dogs most of my life, including schnauzers and maltese/poodle mixes. I love to play with them, practice some tricks and show them love and lots of pets! I'm an avid outdoor walker and I would love to take your pup for a stroll around the neighborhood. I want to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me, so I'll make sure to match their energy when greeting them. I've been told by some that I'm a dog whisperer! I'm very detail-oriented, which comes in handy when caring for your pup, feeding them, and walking them on the schedule you provide for me. I communicate timely and will make sure to provide plenty of updates and pictures while you are away :) I am a post-bacc student starting classes in the fall and I'm flexible during the summer to take care of your pups. I live at home in Druid Hills and I am very familiar with many ATL neighborhoods to explore new walking routes with your pup. Overall, I'm pretty flexible to fit your needs! I make sure to follow all instructions owners give and ensure the pet feels comfortable in the space they are in. I make time for physical activity as well as rest and relaxation.
“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!”

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!
I could not have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Remington! My 16 year old beagle was in the absolute BEST hands and he took EXCELLENT care of my old boy while I was out of town for 5 days. I would 1 billion percent use Remington’s services, again and again! Absolutely wonderful care and communication! Thank you, Remington!
Tatiana is great! She takes great care of our pup each time she visits. We have a dog that is spoiled rotten and quirky. Tatiana willingly plays bubbles with her and pays attention to the details . We trust Tatiana completely. Our doodle seems to really enjoy her visits.
Lynn is amazing! She took on the responsibility of my pups, last minute, having never met them, and did wonderfully! Lynn communicated with me at every step. She is thoughtful and totally wants to do everything she can to make my pups, and me, comfortable and taken care of. She is highly recommend! I will definitely want to book Lynn again!

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.

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.
