“Solange was great- very helpful and very responsive. It was super easy to work with her, and I loved the level of care she provided my pets. I would absolutely hire Solange again to look after my pets while I'm away.”
“Stacie was wonderful at sending lots of pictures of the kitties. I have two sweet, but skittish, cats and they both took to her immediately. I'll be booking her again!”
“Stacy was awesome with bourbon! She was flexible and communicative and genuinely loves animals! My dog is a very fearful dog and she was able to bring him out of his shell during her visits. I recommend her to anybody that needs a rover friend!”
“Amazing cat sitter who will go above and beyond. I have an immunocompromised cat who requires daily oral medication and Lynn has been a gem with her. She has also helped me out so much with random issues like my automatic litter box shutting off after she visited, and she came back to help reset it. Truly truly appreciate her. She also gives me great updates about my babies. Have booked with her several times and will continue to do so.”
“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.”
“Kamron was great - very communicative and sent me timely updates on both kitties. Lots of pictures (which are always appreciated) and I could tell our friendlier cat was happy to spend time with them. Will definitely book with Kamron again in the future, if available!”
“Jax was patient with our skittish guy and had great ideas to make him more comfortable. She was also flexible when I unexpectedly came home early - would definitely have her watch Tofu again.”
“Deedee is awesome! She took great care of our cat Rupi. She took a ton of awesome pictures which were really lovely to have when we were missing Rupi on our trip! She also was patient with Rupi even though Rupi is very shy. And she left the cutest notes after every visit. Thank you so much!”
“Highly recommend! She was so kind to my cats and took amazing care of them. I have a very anxious and shy cat that needs a pill 2x a day and she administered this med with no issues! I had such peace of mind knowing my cats were being spoiled while I was away.”
“Julianna provides great feedback about my dog during her visits and is super responsive! I appreciate the support system of an experienced pet sitter while adjusting to new routines and discovering new behaviors of my new rescue dog.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Maya was great! She was very responsive when booking, and took great care of my cat during daily check-ins. She made sure she had food, water, a clean litter box and was played with. She even took her on a few walks around my courtyard! She sent photos every day as well. I definitely recommend Maya to anyone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Decatur
I was dealing with a medical crisis when I made my first booking with Rover and their sitter, Jax. Jax jumped right in and coached me through the process so I could get to the hospital. My 2 dogs & 2 indoor feral cats are rescues, seniors and have behavioral and/or medical special needs. The second I walked in the house they were stress-free, so I knew they felt as comfortable and safe as I did with Jax..One of my dogs went outside ears up, tongue out, smiling expecting to find Jax. They went way above and beyond giving me a chance to concentrate on my health.
Kamron was great - very communicative and sent me timely updates on both kitties. Lots of pictures (which are always appreciated) and I could tell our friendlier cat was happy to spend time with them. Will definitely book with Kamron again in the future, if available!
Remington is such an amazing sitter! Incredibly kind and goes out of his way to help when he doesn’t have to. For example, my kitten smashed our glass soap dispenser in our sink and he (without hesitation) picked up all the pieces and tossed them to prevent any kitty injuries! I was recommended Remington by a friend who also had a great experience, and he definitely exceeded expectations! 10/10 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!
Emilie is super easy to work with, responsive, and leaves awesome checkin notes and pictures. She went above and beyond helping check an AC issue during the last few visits, which I greatly appreciate. I feel totally safe leaving her in care of my cat, and definitely recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Decatur on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,584 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Decatur. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Decatur. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
