“Jessica was amazing with my dogs! They can be challenging, and they absolutely love her! She is wonderful and provides time with each of my 3 dogs. She is extremely patient and affectionate! I will definitely ask her to watch them many more times in the future! Thank you so much!!!”
“Megan did an incredible job - following instructions, sending cute photos and lovely messages to describe the visit - giving me great peace of mind during a long trip away. I will definitely be rebooking Megan in the future. Great job Megan! You are a life saver.”
“Stacy is taking great care of my cat Ziggy when I've been out of town. She's even adjusted visits when my schedule is changed. I recommend booking Stacy as your pet sitter.”
“Alexandria was awesome! She is knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. She goes above and beyond expectations and is very accommodating. No question…would use her again 1000x over! She is way more than she charges💕”
“I can’t say enough great things about Elizabeth. She came prepared to our meet and greet with a through list of questions about my cat and our home. She was a great communicator and kept me up to date on what was going on with my cat and sent pictures every day. She even brought in my mail, watered my plants, and took out the trash before she left on her last visit. It’s obvious that my cat loved his time with her. I won’t hesitate to use her services again!”
“Scar was great! We got photos and trailed updates throughout the trip. Our dog had some medical considerations and these were well looked after. I would absolutely book with them again!”
“We re-booked Chimere since she is amazing! She did drop-in visits at our condo for our cat Leo while we were away and followed all our instructions to a T. Chimere really made our time away stress-free, and Leo loved her too. We'd 100% recommend Chimere!”
“Solange was fantastic with our pets. She definitely asked plenty of questions to know our pets and their needs ahead of time. While we were gone she communicated with us and ensured we were up to date on the happenings with our babies and ensuring their care went smoothly and with lots of pets! 10/10 will have Solange back. From our two yahoos she watched: Boof booooood rrrrrrruff awoowooowoooow.boof.”
“Andre was great with our two cats and made sure they were well taken care of during our trip. Great communication. Definitely recommended and will be looking to rebook when we need to!”
“Hayley took great care of my fur babies. Both cats have special diets, and one takes several medications daily—including insulin. Hayley visited my house before we left town to meet us and see what feeding/medicine time looks like. She somehow even managed to make friends with my very scaredy-cat cat 😻 I definitely recommend her for cat sitting and will likely call on her again in the future!”
“Kamron was amazing, will definitely book again! He was very communicative and sent pics each visit, and two of my cats needed meds and he had no issue giving them (a pill, liquid oral med, and asthma inhaler). Highly recommend!”
“Natali, thanks for checking in our two pitties! I could tell when I got home that they absolutely appreciated the exercise. Thank you also for being so flexible and accommodating!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have trained many dogs, including pitbull’s Saint Bernards, Chihuahuas, Maltese, etc. I have taken care of dogs at all ages in stages of life, elderly, puppy, pregnant. I absolutely adore dogs! I am an avid walker and walk over 6 miles daily. I would love to help out some people with furry friends who aren’t able to walk them as much! I am a great choice when it comes to watching your dog when you are away! I am super accountable and enjoy spending time with dogs!
“Jeanmarie is a gem. My husband and I went on a 5 day trip and we just needed someone to check in on our car to make sure she didn't get into too much trouble. Que a hurricane right before we left and I was a ball of anxiety. Jeanmarie updated me every day and assured me everything was fine. I can't thank her enough.”
“Grace was great at communicating and was very proactive about my cat’s care- she took notes at our meet and greet and was very prepared for taking care of my cat. She made sure to reach out to me when anything didn’t align with what we planned. Will book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Decatur
Aiiaha was great and Cali loved her, which I’ve had a hard time in the past finding people that Cali would like. Cali is a dog that goes on vibes and doesn’t get along with a lot of people. Aiiaha was right on time and very professional and was great with both of my dogs! So glad to have found her to help!!
We had a great experience! Our boy has some anxiety and can take a little while to warm up to new people, so we appreciated how patient and understanding she was. She came by for a meet and greet beforehand and took the time to let him get comfortable at his own pace. She was great with him during their first hangout, and we feel comfortable having her for future drop in visits!
I can always count on Jax to take wonderful care of my two dogs. She is incredibly patient, especially with my very slow skittish dog and all the shenanigans of her trusty sidekick. Jax gives them the time and space they need to feel comfortable, while taking everything they throw her way in stride. It means so much to know they’re in such caring, capable hands. I truly can’t say enough good things about Jax.
Sarah was wonderful and super accommodating. I had to book her last minute, and she delivered on every request I had. She made sure to follow my directions to a tee, and she made my cats feel very loved. She also kept me informed throughout the entire booking. I was nervous about booking someone through Rover for my first time with my beloved angels (my cats), but she made me feel totally at ease. Super professional, kind, and understanding

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Decatur on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,649 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:
- 93% 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.
