“Julia is our go-to for housesitting and caring for our senior kitty. She does his medicine perfectly. He is always happy and well when we return. She leaves our place in perfect condition and she is super accommodating and easy to work with!”
“Viva house and dogsat for us while we were on vacation and she was absolutely great. She was very communicative before and during the stay and our dog loved her. She also sent lots of pictures, which was very appreciated! We will definitely look to book with her again in the future”
“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.”
“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! 💚”
“Gabriyela was attent e to Chloe's needs, provided excellent communication before, during and after her stay. We appreciated the photos and cute comments that made us feel comfortable and confident about being away. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Manuela could not have been a better sitter for our dogs! She was very communicative and professional. She took wonderful care of the pups and went above and beyond!! Would 100% use her services again!”
“Anna was great to work with, and took great care of our dogs! We have two big, high energy dogs, and that’s not always easy to manage, especially meeting for the first time. Anna was immediately in command of the situation, and comfortable with our dogs. I would definitely recommend Anna if you are looking for someone!”
“Caitlin was great. It was our first time using Rover and she made it super easy. She stayed with our dog over the weekend. He’s been pretty sensitive since losing his dog brother but Caitlin was so patient and kind. Hope she will house/dog sit for us again!”
“Brianna was awesome. We were lucky to find her on a short notice..Showed up on time. She gave ECHO company while we were gone to dinner. Kept us updated of his status. Thank you Brianna for taking care of ECHO. We will certainly rebook her future needs.”
“Nancy stayed in our home with our two senior dogs for 5 nights and 6 days, and it was clear from the daily photos she shared that they absolutely fell in love with her. She took fabulous care of our babies and even told us she would gladly watch them again in the future. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Soraya. I love dogs, and treat every pup that stays with me like my own. I live in a cozy, comfortable apartment that's set up for dogs to actually relax in, not just pass through. I am home almost all day, so your dog is never left alone wondering where everybody went. They get attention, company, and someone to nap next to. You'll get photo updates every single day. I know how it feels to drop your dog off and spend the whole time wondering how they're doing, so I don't make you ask. I am fluent in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking owners can message me in whichever language feels easier. Whether your dog is a cuddler, a talker, or just needs someone patient, I’ve got them. I work from home! So I will be with your dog all day. I start with a morning walk, then your fur baby and I will spend the day together, usually out on the patio getting some sun and some love. Afternoon walk, evening walk, and lots of attention in between. Your dog is never sitting alone waiting for someone to come home. Whatever routine and rules you have for your dog, I follow them exactly. Feeding schedule, crate or no crate, treats, off-limits spots, I uphold every one of them. In my home, love and safety come first. My apartment is calm and comfortable, I am always here, and I keep a close eye on your pup the whole stay. You’ll get daily photos so you always know your dog is being loved and taken care of.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish—I’m passionate about giving each pet the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, whether it’s walking energetic pups, gently handling senior cats, or keeping fish tanks sparkling clean. I also offer grooming services such as gentle brushing, nail trimming, and bathing to help your pets look and feel their best. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take pride in providing dependable, personalized care that keeps pets happy and pet parents worry-free. I have a flexible professional schedule with the ability to work remotely, allowing me to plan my day around your pet’s needs. Whether that means morning and evening walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, or keeping them company overnight, I love making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, so you can always expect thoughtful care, consistent communication, and plenty of photo updates! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment and always follow each pet parent’s instructions to a T, ensuring peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of furry friends - little and large - for family and neighbors since I was young. I have experience in managing dog and cat medical ailments, and caring for those who are elderly and need mobility or sanitary assistance. My work is generally freelance in the evening/night, so I have plenty of morning and afternoon time to visit your fluffy family members (Usually between 8AM-5PM). On occasion I will also be available during evenings, please inquire! My general goal at anyone else's house is triple-checking - making sure all relevant gates/doors are properly closed, that all items are put back in their right place, and that everything is clean and sanitary. I strive to treat all pets and love them as if they were my own, and that extends to the home they're in. Respect for the pets' and clients' home should always be utmost.
“Emily took incredible care of Otis while I was gone for my wedding! She even bathed him when he got an upset tummy and an accident! She went above and beyond for my little guy and I’m so grateful!”
“Rebecca watched our two cats for a weekend. She was great about sending pictures often and made sure they got all their many medications. Would recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Decatur
Emily was wonderful about communicating with us and sending pics of the pups while we were away. She stayed in our home & even took our dog to daycare one day. We fully trust her & the dogs LOVED HER!! We will recommend her to our friends and neighbors and look forward to using her services again soon!
We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter than Mina! We were gone for a full week, and our two pups absolutely loved her. They were relaxed and happy the entire time. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she sent us lots of photos and updates so we never had to wonder how the dogs were doing. A week is a long time to be away from them, but knowing they were in such caring hands made it so much easier. We'll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!
We love having Sonya care for our pets as if they were her own. She’s incredibly thoughtful and great with a number of different behaviors. She’s also really flexible with times if you’re having to leave and arrive at different points of the day. Can’t say enough good things!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Decatur is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
