We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Alexis! Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it was clear they got plenty of playtime and attention. Alexis went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, exercised, and well cared for. We got frequent updates, which gave us peace of mind, and it was obvious our pups were having a blast. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and will treat your pets like their own, Alexis is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of patience, care, and attention I give to every pet. As a first grade teacher, I am very dependable, nurturing, and comfortable handling different personalities and needs. I have experience caring for both large and small dogs, including my own 80 pound dog and 10 pound dachshund. I am also comfortable with puppies who need consistency, playtime, and basic routine reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, medication reminders, or more frequent breaks. I treat every pet like they are part of my own family and make sure owners feel comfortable and updated while they are away. As a teacher, I have a consistent and flexible schedule. I’m up early each morning and available before school, and I’m typically finished with work by 3:00 p.m. My weekends are also very flexible. I’m happy to accommodate a variety of schedules and will do my best to meet you and your pet’s needs! My two dogs, Comet and Cooper, are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I live with my fiancé and our two dogs, an 80 pound dog and a 10 pound dachshund, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a first grade teacher of 20 students, patience, attentiveness, and nurturing come naturally to me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I will follow their normal routines as closely as possible, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your space to care for your fur baby.

About: My family owned dogs and cats all my life. Once I got old enough to take on responsibility, I started feeding, bathing, walking, and cleaning up after my pets. I love pets of all kind and I've owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and guinea pigs. I currently have 8 dogs of my own which are 7 American bullies and one Boston Terrier (Abel, Nyx, Hella, Cash, Holly, Buckshot, Zarah, and Maddie) a gecko named Leroy, and a baby quaker parrot, named Sully. I am very familiar and comfortable with all size of dogs as I have owned so many different breeds over the years. From Great danes to small dogs. I love spending time with my pets as well as getting to know and spend time with others. I understand the importance of doing what is asked by the owner of the pets! If you want someone that is a huge animal lover and who is reliable and trustworthy, look no further! I can't wait to hear from you and meet your fur baby !! I currently work full time, my days off vary and change a lot due to be being in management. I am normally available early in the day. If we have already pre booked something, and my work schedule changes, I will still make accommodations to make sure your baby is taken care of! While caring for your pet inside your home, I will do exactly what you ask of me and treat your fur baby and your property with respect. I will love and care for your baby as if they were my own and make sure the house is left in the same condition it was in before I arrived.

Olivia has been a godsend. I have a large, elderly dog who is increasingly more trouble and requires overnight sitting. Olivia has gone above and beyond to make sure she is taken care of. My work travel schedule is unpredictable and she is always flexible and willing to help on short notice whenever she can.

Janie was outstanding! Sent daily pictures and updates, this really helped. Not only did she care for our member of the family, she made sure our home was taken care of as well. It helps when you have a professional like Janie. My wife and I highly recommend Janie in every area of pet care and security.

About: Hello there! Let me take the stress of having to find a sitter for your pets off of your shoulders! I love getting to meet new dogs and cats. I currently work at an animal shelter once a week so I feel very comfortable with handling different varieties of cats and dogs. I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of others pets. I know how to follow directions and make sure the needs of the pets are taken care of. Currently, I cannot board any pets. I can come to your home if needed to let your dog out, play with your cat and of course make sure your furry children have food to eat. I’d love to be your next go to pet sitter. Your pets will thank you. The only day I am not available is Tuesday since that is the day I’m working at the animal shelter. Other than that, my schedule is usually open. Currently I am not able to board any pets right now due to living in an apartment. I have 2 pets of my own already and cannot have anymore due to the apartment rules. For my own pets, I let my dog out at least 3 times a day and feed her twice a day. I also feed my cat twice a day and empty out his litter box when it’s full.

About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys creating a calm, safe, and caring environment for both pets and homes while owners are away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, communicative, and comfortable helping with everything from walks and playtime to feeding routines, medication reminders, litter box maintenance, mail collection, plant care, and overnight house-sitting. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and home, so I always try to provide thoughtful updates, consistency, and attentive care. Outside of pet sitting, I have a background in creative/social media work and customer service, which has made me very organized and responsive. I’m currently looking to build long-term relationships with local clients and would love to help make travel or busy schedules less stressful for you, your home, and your pets! I grew up with cats (and have my own now) and learned and loved on dogs at my Grandma's house. I currently have a flexible schedule outside of my regular work hours and enjoy building pet sitting into my routine. I’m available for cat drop-ins, overnight house sitting, feeding visits, and general home check-ins depending on timing and location. I try to keep my availability updated and always communicate clearly about scheduling, visit timing, and updates while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I always aim to create a calm, respectful, and safe environment while following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m attentive to details, mindful of household instructions, and committed to keeping communication open through updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.

About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dekalb

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Dekalb on Rover is $39.05 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 201 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dekalb. 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 Dekalb 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 Dekalb 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 Dekalb 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 Dekalb. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
