“We had a great experience with Jaquana taking care of Penny! She was very communicative, sent us pictures every day, and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. Penny was very well cared for, and we would absolutely use her again!”
“Jessica was absolutely exceptional. Leaving your home and a young kitten in someone else’s care can be stressful, but Jessica made the entire experience effortless from start to finish. She treated our home with incredible respect, keeping everything spotless and exactly as we left it. More importantly, she gave our kitten so much love, attention, and playtime that we never once worried while we were away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the week, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and made it clear our little one was happy, comfortable, and thriving. It’s obvious that Jessica genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She is dependable, communicative, kind, and went above and beyond in every way. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitten and a home that was even tidier than when we left. We would trust Jessica again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or house sitter. She is truly one of the best, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Five stars isn’t enough!”
“I wanted to build on top of my previous review in order to recognize Jillian's flexibility and reliability. We had a sit scheduled to start on a Saturday, however on Thursday my flight out Saturday was cancelled due to the Government shutdown. I was re-booked to fly out Friday instead and my trip was contingent that Jillian would be available. On 24 hour notice she was able to start the sit one day earlier, allowing the trip to take place. Flying back was also in question due to the volatility of air travel and Jillian was more or less "on call" in the event that my flight was cancelled or extremely delayed (luckily there were no issues). Jillian was a lifesaver and took that stress off of my plate during that time.”
“Jose was a fantastic in-house sitter for my Labrador Retriever, she took to him immediately and he was a great communicator, sending plenty of updates and pics. He left my house neat as a pin, I will definitely utilize his services again!”
“Jen was a fantastic sitter for our pup, Maddie! She was very communicative sending regular photo updates during her stay, and kept everything shipshape around the house. If you’re seeking a reliable sitter look no further!”
“Anna was amazing! She was very communicative and I know my dog received lots of love while we were gone! I didn’t worry about him at all, and she took great care of our home too. I would absolutely recommend Anna for dog sitting!”
“I couldn't recommend Andrea more! She truly cares about her clients / the pups and has an attention to detail that is hard to find. She's been able to accomodate short notice stays and always asks enough questions to be able to give my pups the same experience they would have if I were there myself. I absolutely love all the pics as well. Will continue to use Andrea in the future for any of my pet care needs.”
“Linda is a spot-on terrific pet/housesitter! The pets were happy, the communication was amazing, and the home was left spotless. Very thankful to Linda for her good work, allowing me to truly relax on vacation.”
“Lauren did a fantastic job as a live in pet sitter while we were out of town. She took care of our golden retriever and our two cats and sent us lots of updates, photos and videos. Highly recommend.”
“We have three big dogs and it's not always easy to mange them. Ryan did a great job. Especially with our "little" one, Ginny. She can be stubborn and refuse to go out for walks. She was hesitant at first, but Ryan was able to get her to come out eventually.”
“Madison was amazing! She was able to accommodate last minute when I had to take an unexpected trip. She communicated with me throughout the stay and even sent updates with pictures!”
“Bryan is a wonderful person and is very thoughtful of both the dog and the owners. Bryan was very thorough when we left and gave us great picture and updates. He is 5 star all the way.”
“Hannah is amazing! She is very communicative and put all of our crew at easy. She sends plenty of updates and pictures of our doofuses chilling and playing and even some funny face candids. Would 100% recommend for dogs AND cats...because we have plenty of both and she takes good care of them.”
“Jordyn is awesome! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs. She stayed in our house this past weekend to take care of them, and it was such a relief having somebody there that you knew was responsible and loving towards your dogs.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sahara! This was the very first time I left my dogs with someone outside of my immediate family, so I was naturally nervous. From the moment I left for vacation, she made me and my fur babies feel completely at ease. She was caring, reliable, attentive, and treated my dogs like they were her own. Thank you!!!!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Decatur
Amber took excellent care of my two cats! They warmed up to her right away, and she was a reliable communicator throughout her 10-day stay in my apartment. Her daily updates gave me peace of mind, and photos of the cats playing, cuddling, and goofing around warmed my heart. My cats are young, and Amber was attentive to mischief; I appreciated her putting away a full-length mirror when my kitten started chomping cardboard off the back. I returned home to happy, healthy kitties and a clean apartment. I highly recommend Amber, and I hope she’s available when I need to book again!
Anna house-sat/watched our dog and 2 cats and was fantastic. She knows what she’s doing, asked us great questions during the meet&greet, the animals loved her, and she was a very good sport when the cats tore apart her sandals (we forgot to tell her our cats do that - ugh). Also, our house was cleaner than we left it. Highly recommend Anna and really hope she will continue to housesit for us again (despite our destructive cats).
Hannah is amazing! She is very communicative and put all of our crew at easy. She sends plenty of updates and pictures of our doofuses chilling and playing and even some funny face candids. Would 100% recommend for dogs AND cats...because we have plenty of both and she takes good care of them.
Amber has helped me on a few occasions and has been so wonderful! She keeps the place clean and keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. I have a senior dog so Amber has helped put my mind at ease with how attentive she is with my girl! Thank you Amber- will be using her again!
Micah was very responsive and patient. We have two dogs, one with Addison's Disease, and it requires daily critical medication. Not to mention anxious when we are gone. Micah was so patient and had a good sense of humor, which is so helpful. Already booked Micah again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Decatur
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Decatur on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,906 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North 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 North 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 North 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 North 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.

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.
