Ashley is fantastic. She sat for us and we left her with some hectic things, like power outages and fridge that stopped working. She was able to manage it and get the fridge running. She pulled our trash cans in without me asking and laid out towels to dry the dogs feet during the rain (again without being asked). I am a bit of a hover mom with my pups and I don’t feel a need to check in with her bc she handles everything and loves on our pups.

Casey was great! Very responsive, our cat and dog were happy and she even cleaned up the house and washed our sheets before we got home. We will be using Casey again.

Hannah sent me photos of Klooney and kept me updated on how the day went to keep me reassured he was well taken care of. I will definitely ask her to sit for Klooney again.

Enya was absolutely AMAZING with our dogs while we were away for a full week! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. She stayed in our home and treated it — and our pups — with such care and respect. Every single day she sent thoughtful updates along with the sweetest photos. Seeing their happy faces and wagging tails meant the world to us and made being away so much easier. It was clear they were not just being “watched,” but genuinely loved and cared for. We came home to relaxed, happy dogs and a home that was just as we left it. That speaks volumes! Enya goes above and beyond, and we would trust her again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly compassionate with animals, Enya is the one. We couldn’t recommend her more highly! 🐾💕

About: I got my first dog 5 years ago and have cared for and enjoyed him ever since. My family has also raised doodle puppies out of our home for a few years now. I've been woken up in the middle of the night, cleaned up messes, searched for dogs that ran away and been on countless dog walks. I love dogs but we've also had cats, bunnies and turtles. I promise you, your pets will love hanging out with me while you are on a trip or at work! I am currently living in Texas with my family until August when I return to school. My schedule is very open, I'm not working currently and I'll do my best to help you out! I can walk your dog as often as you need or run them until all their puppy energy is used up! I'll do what it takes to make sure your buddy is safe and happy!

About: Hi, I'm Tresa, and I have enjoyed being around animals my whole life! I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, reptiles, rabbits, horses, goats, chickens, and even bison. I am a fully certified local elementary school teacher with a completely open, flexible schedule until August 1st. Because I am currently on summer break and do not have any pets or children of my own, your animals will receive 100% of my dedicated attention, routines, and care.As a professional educator, I am background-checked, highly organized, and deeply responsible. I specialize in overnight house sitting and daytime drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs a strict medication schedule, long walks, or just a calm companion to prevent separation anxiety, I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect. I look forward to giving you peace of mind during your summer travels! Because I am currently on summer break and fully off from teaching until August 1st, pet care is my primary focus and fits seamlessly into my schedule. This means I can work seamlessly with you pet's schedule and needs. As an educator, I know that routine equals safety and comfort for animals, just like it does for students. When staying in your home, my top priority is maintaining absolute consistency so your pet experiences zero stress while you are away.

Tania is the best! This is the second time she’s been our sitter and both times have been wonderful! We have two Great Danes and they’re not exactly the easiest, but she handles them so well. I would totally recommend Tania to be your sitter!

About: I have taken care of animals from a young age, we have always had family pets from dogs to cats, lizards, fish, rescues etc. and my grandparents had farm animals like horses pigs, chickens and goats that I was around from a young age also. I have always cared for our family pets as well as neighbors, friends, and family throughout the years. I typically house sit when watching the animals also and can take care of things like collecting mail and packages, etc. I currently work part time form home so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to care for animals. I also enjoy going outside so don't mind taking dogs on walks etc. I have a 1 acre fenced in backyard with lots of grass and trees for animals to play. I also have an outdoor enclosed fence about 8x10 that I can use to separate dogs if needed. And I have about a 5x8 fully enclosed outdoor catio as well. I have plenty of space inside the home to let animals rest as well as a garage if it is too hot during the day.

Kelley was absolutely fantastic with our girls. They can be nervous with new people and they warmed up to her very quickly. She sent us daily updates with pictures and was very communicative. There was a storm that came in and she went above and beyond and shoveled our driveway. She also did the laundry for the bedding and towels that were used. I will absolutely work with Kelley again. We've gone through several dog sitters over the last couple years that made trips stressful, but this time we didn't have a single issue and the trip was stress free.

As long as you are there for the initial introductions to your pet I'm happy to show up when you need me to. I will keep to a schedule for your pets, if you have them crated at night or if they sleep with you I'm flexible on either arrangement. Happy to take dogs on neighborhood walks and play fetch.

Pierce watched Max & Chief in our home for a couple of days while we were away on a last-minute trip out-of-state. He was very communicative, making it easy to coordinate. The house was left immaculate, and the dogs well attended. Pierce walked them every day and even took care of a few things around the house we needed to get done. Pierce handled this job like a pro. We'll reach out to him again as we plan our next trip.

About: I’ve always had an abundance of dogs and cats all throughout my life. I’ve always had large breed dogs, but I am no stranger to small breeds as well! I’ve had puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience kind of all across the board. I have four kittens that I raised and bottle fed, as well as senior cats. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 13. I also have experience as a veterinary technician! I am comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I will love your pets like they’re my own, and I am very accommodating to your schedule! I am also open to horse care as well! I do not have horses of my own, but I have a few clients that I feed for, so equine care could be discussed if needed 😊 I am starting nursing school in August, but until then I am completely free to take care of your pets. Once I start school, my schedule will change slightly, but I will still be available! I, unfortunately, cannot offer boarding, but I am more than happy to offer house sitting, overnight care, and drop in visits during the day as needed. Whatever your pet needs, I am willing to do it! I can stick to a strict feeding and medication schedule if needed. I will play with your pets, or just have a lazy day if couch potato is more their style! If your pets go out at certain times, get crated, or have to be separated for feeding, I can do it. If your pet is a bit skittish with new people, I will take the time to have them get comfortable with me and avoid stressing them out in an already stressful situation. They will be in great hands 🩷

FAQs for House Sitting - Decatur

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Decatur on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,007 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Decatur. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Decatur walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Decatur maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Decatur. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
