“Jessica was amazing with my dogs! They can be challenging, and they absolutely love her! She is wonderful and provides time with each of my 3 dogs. She is extremely patient and affectionate! I will definitely ask her to watch them many more times in the future! Thank you so much!!!”
“Ella was amazing! She sent fantastic photos every day and I felt very comforted knowing she was taking care of Momo for me. Communication was also awesome and definitely will book again. Thanks Ella!!!”
“Jordyn was excellent! We have 3 large dogs and a cat and Jordyn was up for the challenge! She was kind with us and our pets and sent tons of pictures! 10/10 would recommend Jordyn if you have large dogs and need someone who knows how to handle them!”
“Sophie is wonderful with my cat. Sophie is easy to communicate with, conscientious, and provided such cute photos while I was away. My cat just adores her. To provide a bit of context, my cat (female) has an underlying health issue and I felt she was in excellent hands while I was away. I plan to use Sophie again in the future.”
“Brooke has been so wonderful! Excellent communication and such sweet photos and detailed information about the animals. She was perfect even in a last minute request situation!”
“Andre was great with our two cats and made sure they were well taken care of during our trip. Great communication. Definitely recommended and will be looking to rebook when we need to!”
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.
“Lauren was great! Very communicative and from the beginning sought to define clear expectations for her visits. She asked for feedback between visits and was all around great!”
About: I've had dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life, and most recently I had a senior cat and a foster dog. I have experience with all kinds of breeds, energy levels, and ages. I've also had to administer ointment and give medication to both dogs and cats. I work as a waitress most weekdays, typically lunches, but most weekends are free! I hope to cut back my work hours a bit so I can add more pet sitting/walking jobs into my schedule. I have a quiet home with no children and only one roommate. I may occasionally be a short term foster for an older cat or two, but no long term fur babies living in my house currently.
“Andrea was so so sweet and patient with my shy little cavapoo, Harvey. She sat down on her level and allowed her to warm and up, and gained her trust quickly. Did a drop in visit to start and ensure fit, and will be booking Andrea for house sitting after a great first meet experience!”
“Chiara was so sweet and attentive of our pups. Went over and beyond to make sure they were taken care of. Will definitely ask Chiara again to help with our pups.”
About: I have had pets all of the my life including tropical fish, aquatic turtles, Guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs and cats. I also love to care for house plants and outdoor plants. I am starting a new job September 8 so my schedule is pretty open. After September 8, I will be available in the mornings and evenings and available on the weekends. My 2 cats are not a fan of other cats or dogs so I cannot have pets in my home but I am happy to hang out with your pets and go long walks if needed.
About: I lost my almost-18 year old beloved mutt in 2022. I adopted her when I was only 17 and she was my best bud. I’m not ready for another dog of my own yet, but I look forward to doting on your fur babies for now! I only watch one dog (or doggie siblings) at a time and can give your little one loads of attention, backyard jaunts and bathroom breaks whenever needed. I’m familiar with medicating dogs and cats if necessary, as well as geriatric mobility issues. I have a fenced in back yard, four steps down from the patio (can carry if necessary). Happy to go for lunch time walks around the hood if the heat allows. No other people around during the day and no other indoor pets. No smoking, but definitely wine happy hours on the porch if pooch wants to join. We do have an outside cat, but he only comes around to be fed on our front porch. And definitely won’t stick around when he sees a dog.
“Carolina communicated promptly and was flexible to meet our schedule! We were happy that she was able meet our needs for our pup who recently underwent heartworm treatment. She was a great help in our time in need!”
About: I have been a frequent dog-sitter for about two years now but I have had dogs all my life, making me the perfect candidate to take care of your four-legged friends. I’m happy to take care of your pets because I enjoy being around animals! Most people would describe me as gentle and caring. I have worked with anxious dogs in the past and I believe I am able to make them feel comfortable and safe to alleviate any anxiety they face. I am a full-time student with classes on Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday so I am looking to watch your pets on the weekends preferably! But if you would need me for longer I will more than likely be open to accommodating :) I will follow any and all rules given to care for the pet. I love going on walks so if the weather allows it, I would love to take your pup on a walk! I am also a loving person who will be very affectionate towards the pet to affirm their safety. I have worked with both anxious dogs and cats in the past, and I believe I am good at soothing their anxiety.
“Again Ms. Cat did an amazing job with my 2 babies. She is very attentive with them and knows each of their personalities really well. The biggest struggle for me is ensuring that my older dog, Walker, could get his medication. We talking through his needs each day, twice a day and she had no issues administering his eye drops. When I arrived home they were both comfortable and not stressed as I have experienced with other sitters.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Decatur
We always have one less stress during a trip when Meagan is able to check in on our cats. She takes outstanding care of them, provides great photos and updates, and was nice enough to take our trash out on her last visit prior to our return, so our apartment didn't smell like empty cat food tins. Always a trusted sitter.
Jessica did an awesome job looking after our cat. She was communicative throughout the whole process and sent pictures during the drop in. We could rest easy knowing our furball was in good hands. We will definitely look to use Jessica's services again next time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
