“Julia was absolutely fantastic with Cody! She provided frequent updates and plenty of photos, which really put my mind at ease. Her communication is top-notch, and it’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. She is punctual, reliable, and loves animals. 10 stars”

“What a gem we found in Jaquana!! With regular pictures, sweet videos, and detailed updates, we had zero worries about our dogs in her care during our week-long vacation. Fig, Una and Oatie can’t wait for next time! 💚”
“Jax took incredible care of my pup while I was away for 12 days. There were plenty of walks, 1:1 play-time, and thoughtful updates with pictures and videos to ensure I was kept in the loop. Jax also took care of my home and cleaned up everything before I returned. Can’t wait to have Jax look after Arthur again soon! Note: Jax handles reactive dogs really well and was able to walk my leash reactive dog with care”
“Shaine is fantastic. She was proactively communicative, punctual, professional and reliable. She stayed in our home with Jenny and left everything in great shape. We appreciated daily updates, including when she arrived at the house. Would book with Shaine again in the future. Thanks!”
“I was nervous leaving Remi during her recovery, but she made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated. She was patient, caring, and attentive to Remi’s needs.

I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.”

“Jeanmarie spent entire days with Bindi, my quirky little Italian greyhound. I appreciated all the photos and updates, and Bindi appreciated all the cuddles and company. I already have Jeanmarie booked for future housesits!”
“Scar was very attentive and considerate in taking care of our baby girl and her additional needs. We would definitely book again and recommend Scar for anyone in need of great dog care!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Just was great. We had a last minute need for a sitter while we went out of town. He stayed at our house for the weekend and took great care of our pit lab mix. The house was well looked after and our pup was in great shape when we came home. Would definitely seek his support again!”
About: I have lived with cats my whole life and have great attention to detail for them. I am also experienced with dogs of different ages and sizes. The most important thing to me is that your pet is happy and healthy. I am open to any opportunites, I have also taken care of chickens and rabbits. I also can take care of plants and maintain the house if you are away. I am currently not working so I am able to devote a lot of my attention to your beloved pets. I am very flexible and always try to communicate if there is an issue or I don't know something. I am always free on weekdays but I may have limited availability on the weekends. I always take care of the space I am in and try to leave it cleaner than I found it. And of course the pets are the main focus and the center of attention! I am very good at following written instructions and if I have any questions I will always ask.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Decatur
I gave Anna a pretty difficult task… Her first sit ever with my dog was for two weeks solid while I was overseas, and honestly, she couldn’t have done a better job! She provided regular daily updates that made me feel a lot more comfortable with a new sitter that I would’ve been otherwise, left my house very clean, and all in all was very easy to work with. I will definitely be hoping to use Anna again! She is a rockstar.
Phoebe did a fantastic job with Buster and Bella during our weekend away. She sent pictures multiple times a day, played ball in the yard, gave medicines and administered eye drops. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will definitely be using her services again!
We adore Linda, and our pets do, too. She's conscientious and thorough and left our house better than she found it! She cares for plants, packages, and mail, too. I know when Linda is housesitting we are in the best hands. She's dependable, communicative, kind, thoughtful, and sends regular updates about our quirky pets. We have a very senior dog, and Linda is sensitive to her needs and neuroses. Linda is our go-to pet care giver, and we will rebook for sure!
Anna is a phenomenal pet sitter! She kept us fully informed, with updates and photos. She was diligent in taking notes about care instructions, followed them, and kept our critters happy and healthy while we were away. We trust her completely and will definitely be using her in the future.
I had an amazing experience with Eva! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs. Not only did she make sure they were active, happy, and well cared for, but she also took the time to pick up special medication and food, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that made it clear my pups were in great hands. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like their own. I came home to two happy, healthy pups, and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Eva and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Scar house sitting and taking care of my cat and senior dog makes traveling really easy because I know they’re happy and well taken care of. Scar gives thorough, frequent updates, takes wonderful care of my home, and I trust them completely. Will continue to look at their calendar before considering anyone else!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we left, we knew our pets were in caring and capable hands. They took such wonderful care of Birdie and Ben, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind, and it was clear our pets were being treated like family. We came home to two happy, relaxed pets and everything was exactly as we left it.
Micah has done an excellent job of caring for our cat and two dogs during both drop-ins and longer multi-night stays. Micah is communicative, pro-active, and takes great care to leave our home in good shape. Micah also helped us navigate a tricky broken appliance situation when we were out of the country and it was a huge relief to know we had a responsive, responsible sitter to take care of it. Our pets love Micah so we’d gladly book him again!
Anna was everything you would want from a sitter - communicative, organized and timely, loving to our dogs, and responsible. This was our first experience with Rover and she allowed us to enjoy our vacation and know that she had everything handled. We will definitely use her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Decatur
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Decatur on Rover is $44.4 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 4,860 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.
