“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 truly appreciated how reliable she was especially that it was a bit last minute. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.”
“Dan was fantastic with our two pups! They were very happy and well taken care of when we got home and the house was spotless. Dan sent pictures and updates which was very appreciated. We will absolutely use Dan again!”
“Jessica is communicative, punctual, and responsible. She took amazing care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats in our home. She managed their medications and our 1-year-old puppy’s high energy. We highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Scar was amazing with my two kitties and stayed over a few nights with them. I have a super shy girl that Scar won over and gave lots of pets to, and an extra hyper kitten that they played with and didn’t mind her kitten antics. I received fantastic photos of my kitties that made me feel so much better about my trip. Would definitely rebook and recommend!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond taking care of our animals! She sent wonderful updates while we were gone and our pets had the best time hanging out with her. HIGHLY recommend her whenever you need someone to take care of your pets.”
“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!”
“Gabriyela is phenomenal with our fig and in our home. She cares for Chloe as if her own dog. She sends photos and messages to reassure us that all is going well. I appreciate that she cares for our home well, too. I trust her completely!”
“Linda is the best! This was my first time using Rover and my first time getting a dog/house sitter for my rescue, Duncan. My dog is a sweet but anxious little guy and I was so worried to leave him. Linda gave me updates everyday and went above and beyond taking care of Duncan and spending so much time with him. I was able to enjoy my two week trip so much because I didn’t have to worry. And she left my home cleaner than I left it for her! I will use Linda for as long as she’s dog sitting!”
“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.”
“Julia was amazing with our dogs! One of our dogs has serious separation anxiety and she was able to calm him down with cuddles and love within minutes after we left. She sent amazing updates about how the dogs were doing through out her stay and when we got home our dogs seemed sad to see her leave. We will be booking her again in the future !!”
“There are not enough stars for Shaine. She was so professional, so comfortable and so accommodating. She gave my very very big and very very nervous boy the best weekend and she took the best care of my home.”
“Cabby did an excellent job taking care of Mila. She provided routine updates and pictures. She also left my place very clean. Your pet will be in good hands with Cabby. I would definitely book her again!”
“Caitlin was amazing with our dog and cat. She went above and beyond to make Moose feel happy and loved. He can be a bit much sometimes and we are so happy he had a great time with.”
“Mike was extremely communicative and took great care of our house and baby Mattie. He took her on lots of walks and gave lots of updates throughout the weekend. Thank you Mike!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Decatur
You can tell a wonderful pet/house sitter both by how they interact with you, the state of your home, and your pet’s temperament when you return. Samantha is exceptional. We had a meet-and-greet that made us feel so comfortable, she sent the best updates while we were gone, and we returned to a pristine house and a happy kitty. Look no further if you need care for your fur babies!!
Writing a second review after Claire stayed in our home with our dog Bobbie for almost a full week while we were away! Claire stayed in touch with us every day, sending pictures and updates, which was so reassuring. It was clear that Bobbie was being well taken care of, and our house looked like no one had even been there! We really appreciate Claire and will definitely continue to use her! :)
As always, Linda is just the best! Our dog Penny can get pretty nervous when she is away from us but Linda's place is like a second home to her now. She is well loved and it shows in how excited she is to see Linda and her roommate. Can't say enough great things about her-communication is top notch, she is flexible, just everything we could ask for in a pet sitter.
Elizabeth was great! Her main charge, Babycat was well cared for and didn't seem to notice that I was gone. It was comforting knowing Elizabeth was at the house in my absence as the Baby can get a bit stressed when alone for too long. She also took great care of all the plants inside and outside. I got near daily updates with cute photos. All great!
Jordyn took great care of our dog while we were away! She saved us and accepted our booking last minute after a different sitter ghosted us two days before our trip. She was very communicative and responsible. We felt at ease on our trip knowing our dog (and our house) were being well cared for while we were away!
Excellent service, looked after the dogs brilliantly, took care of the home, great communication and a lovely, friendly and professional dog and home sitter, just what we were hoping for! Our dogs can be a little nervous and wary, but got on really well with Lindsay.
We were very pleased with Jennifer as she cared for our dog, Barley, and our home, while we were out of town. She is very responsible, detailed, caring, and communicative. Barley can be an anxious boy, but he seemed very content with Jennifer’s care. Barley looked very happy and relaxed in the pictures she sent us in her daily communications. On our return home it was obvious that Barley and our home had been well looked after. Big extra kudos go to Jennifer for dealing with a power and internet outage that occurred during a storm on her first day there. Power was restored quickly but the Xfinity internet outage lasted 5 days! Not only did Jennifer have to change her plans with no internet, but she worked with us from afar to troubleshoot with Comcast, coordinate a tech visit, and be here to help the tech on the day we were in the air traveling back. Thank you Jennifer for going above and beyond! We highly recommend Jennifer to care for your pet and home.
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!
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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Decatur
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Decatur on Rover is $45.78 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,924 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.
