“Stacie is wonderful! She's professional, easy to communicate with, and clearly cares about the animals she's looking after. She did midday visits for lunch, meds, and a walk for my senior dog, and provided updates with lots of pictures. My dog was happy and unstressed when I got home--I would highly recommend Stacie!”
“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!”
“First time using Rover so I was nervous but Kamron put me right at ease. He was friendly and listened well to my instructions. My cats warmed up to him right away and one of my cats doesn’t like strangers. His daily notes and photos were great and each day I was away I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands I would highly recommend Kamron.”
“Stacy was wonderful with my cat, Sophie, while I was on vacation. She's friendly, caring, reliable and quick to respond. I received messages and photos with every visit, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing Sophie was doing well. I arrived home to a tidy home and a happy cat and I would definitely call upon Stacy in the future. :)”
“This was our first time using Rover - Megan was outstanding!! She made us feel super comfortable by doing a quick meet and greet first. She also wrote thorough reviews and sent great photos throughout the weekend. We would absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!!”
“Julianna has been an amazing pet sitter for my dog Tommy and kitten Oreo. She is an exceptional communicator and has a very keen eye for details. I know I can travel stress free if Julianna is taking care of my loved ones. Recently, Julianna noticed Oreo wasn’t being as playful as usual, I took him to the Vet and he was very constipated. I’m beginning to think Tommy and Oreo prefer Julianna over me!”
“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!”
“My second time booking with Zerandrian and another wonderful experience! I had a last minute change to my travel plans and Zerandrian was super flexible and communicative. Will definitely be re-booking again next time my 4-legged babies need a sitter! Thanks so much, Zerandrian!”
“Jax is great. She is reliable and we feel at ease when she takes care of our 2 sweet doggies. She is very responsive, understands what our dogs’ needs are, and always sends pictures to check in. We are so grateful to have found her both for our overnight care and our daily drop ins when needed.”
“Melanie was amazing. She took amazing care of my cat and sent me photos and updates the whole time! She clearly is an animal lover. I will definitely be asking her to cat sit next time I'm out of town!!”
“Ella has excellent customer service. Stella, my youngest cat needs a lot of customized attention. Ella was patient, and took great care of her. She was flexible to accomodate my requests and worked with me to ensure Stella was fine. I am relief to have found someone I can trust while I am away from home.”
“Jessica watched our kitty while we were away for 5 days and everything went well. She sent pictures and updates, and communication was prompt. No complaints, I would book her again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Scar did such a great job with our two cats! We could relax knowing that we would get regular check ins and updates. Thank you for also bringing in any packages that were on the porch!!”

Kamron was absolutely the best!!! He was extremely professional, timely, and always kept us up to date during each drop in visit. We have a very timid kitty who is always scared around new people, but she loved playing with Kamron. By far the best sitter we have booked on Rover.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Decatur on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 7,378 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.
