Top rated Decatur house sitters
“Jax is amazing! She knew just how to take care of our high energy boy and made sure he got his daily medications on time. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away and even took Bean for a playdate with her dogs. I know he had a blast with her and was very well taken care of. Jax is a knowledgeable, loving pet sitter and I highly recommend using her services.”
“Devan was amazing! He eased my fears about a hurricane that was going to come as we were out of town, and took excellent care of our dogs while we were away. He was kind, respectful of our home, and truly great with our three girls. We came back to happy pets and a tidy house. We highly recommend him, and will be using him again!”
“Kira is a wonderful sitter for our special needs lab and our senior kitty. She enjoys our babies and we feel reassured when she's with them. She's very calm and dependable!”
“Chris was excellent! Our dogs were well taken care of and had a great time. He kept us well informed and was easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend his services and will use his services in the future.”
“Heidy was great. She was able to accommodate a somewhat last minute pet sitting need and took great care of my cat. Sugar seemed calm and content when I got home.”
“Nate was totally awesome, he took perfect care of our high energy border collie pups while we were away. He was diligent in the care we requested, always respectful and most importantly I could tell our dogs were happy and satisfied when we got back from our vacation. I would 100% recommend him for your pet care needs!”
“I cannot recommend Laura enough! She was an outstanding dog and house sitter. She is reliable and a great communicator. She was thorough in following all instructions for my love-able lab. She gave my needy dog all the love he needs, plenty of scratches, cuddles walks and snacks. She was respectful of my property and left it in good condition. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
“I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Shannon on such short notice! From the moment we met, she was incredibly warm and welcoming, instantly making Bella feel comfortable. She arrived bright and early both days, and was so flexible with her schedule, staying as long as needed to ensure Bella felt loved and cared for while I was at work. I was constantly updated with photos, which truly made my day! Most importantly, it was clear Bella adored her. It’s not easy to find someone who connects so well with pets, but Shannon is truly one of a kind. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone needing a caring and dedicated pet sitter. Thank you, Shannon, for going above and beyond!”
“Jasmin is a wonderful dog sitter and she is the most attentive and most patient dog walker I have had. Shelby was so well taken care of and I recommend her to anyone!”
“Susie was incredible. Despite scheduling very early Susie was able to accommodate a quick meet and greet as well as follow up to walk through everything at the house. We checked in several times to make sure everything was going well and the girls were happy. It’s so comforting knowing we can turn to her again when we need someone to look after the girls and take care of our home.”
“Julia was great! I have 2 pitbulls and a grumpy cat, and she took great care of all of them. She also made sure to send pictures so I didn't have to worry about then while I was gone. I would trust my pets with Julia anytime.”
“Marisa is a lovely person and Jax had a nice weekend with her. She was very responsive and sent lots of updates with pictures. She kept in the loop, especially when he was not eating and let me know when he did start eating normally (being a social eater, he wanted to eat when she did).”
“AMAZING! They watched both of our boys for 9 days and we got daily updates + pictures. They were able to answer any and all questions I needed while we were gone!!!! They truly were great and I know our boys are in good hands while we're gone!”

“Wow! Andrea is so professional, organized, and an incredible communicator! She took such great care of Bubs and sent some many pics and updates, which we LOVE! I never felt like I needed to check in or ask for updates, and I was able to relax and enjoy vacation instead of feeling anxious if my dog being well taken care of. She was able to get him to eat and take his meds, as he can be picky since we spoil him so much! She took great care of our home as well, and even offered to water and care for our plants while we were away. She was 11/10 would absolutely recommend!!!!”

It was good to be able to keep them on their regular routine while we were away. Adele was a good communicator and took great care of our house and pets. Would love to hire her again.”
“Julianna was great!! She responded quickly and offered to come meet before the date I was leaving. She showed up right up on time for the meet up, my dog and cat loved her. Everything went as planned, and she was very easy to communicate with. No issues. Will definitely use her again. Also- she left the house spotless, just as I'd left it.”
