“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!!!”
“Ben took excellent care of our dog, Ernie - he sent detailed updates and was very patient with our quirky rescue! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and thorough dog sitter!”
“First time using Rover so I was nervous but Kamron put me right at ease. He was friendly and listened well to my instructions. My cats warmed up to him right away and one of my cats doesn’t like strangers. His daily notes and photos were great and each day I was away I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands I would highly recommend Kamron.”
About: Hello, I’m Fern (Magdalen) I love animals, I find them to be the most pure little buddies. I have experience with leash pullers and dog reactive dogs. I have experience with cats with medical needs such as administering pills, ear drops, ointments and syringe feedings. I find that pets respond best when you speak to them like they’re human. I enjoy sticking to routine with pets and I ensure pups get plenty of stimulation! I work Mondays through Thursdays 7am-5:30pm. I work remotely Mondays and Wednesdays. I am available to house sit Fridays-Mondays. I am available for walks Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. Depending on distance, morning and midday walks are tricky unless I am house sitting. I pay attention to the animal’s needs. I tend to talk to the pet as if they were a person. I find animals respond well to it and it helps establish trust. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs. Extra enrichment when the owner is away is key to help relieve pent up anxieties. I love long walks with dogs. I am good with routines and adhere closely to the guidelines set by the owner.
“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’ve always had a natural connection with dogs. They seem to know that I genuinely love being around them, and I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routines, and individual needs. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, happy, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. 🐾 I’m experienced with feeding, exercise, medications, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m attentive to the little things that help them feel secure and cared for. I also take pride in caring for your home. I’m responsible, respectful, tidy, and detail-oriented, and I’ll make sure things are well cared for while you’re gone. You’ll come home to a happy, well-loved dog and a clean, cared-for home. I don’t just watch dogs—I get to know them. ❤️ Dogsitting is my full-time gig so if I’ve taken you on as a client, your dog will receive the absolute best care, with attention given to their routine, including walks, playtime, feeding and cuddles. In my home, your dog will receive the pet-centered care they deserve per your directions (feeding, walks, etc) They will have a room to feel safe, inside or outside a crate. They will be encouraged to sit on the couch or in a dog bed for chill time, receive frequent walks (I do not currently have a fenced yard) and will be left alone for 2-3 hours max.
“Manuela was an angel, she took great care of my two cats.. botj were very shy but she was very patient with them. She needed to administer medication to one of them ,, the toughest of the 2 and she was able to chase her all around to give her meds. Will definitely use her services again”
“Morgan was a wonderful sitter. Always communicated with status updates and a summary of her visit with our pets. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that’s looking for a sitter and will be requesting her services again when in need.”
“Dan was fantastic watching our 1 year old English lab Azalea. We scheduled him for a series of drop in visits, he was right on time for each one, communicated frequently, shared pictures, and took great care of our girl. We will be booking him again in the future!”
“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!”
“Maggie has been awesome for Henry and a real pleasure. She is responsive, dependable, and love her notes updates and pictures of Henry. Really makes us feel like the little guy is being taken care of.”
“Sarah took excellent care of our dog and cat while we were out of town, dealing well with a demanding walking schedule, feedings, and medications. I highly recommend her!”
“Solange took excellent care of our cat Rupi. She was attentive and communication was great. Our cat takes time to trust strangers and Solange was very patient and let Rupi warm up to her. Thank you for looking after our girl!”
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.
“Absolutely amazing!! We booked Georgia last minute after someone else fell through. Finding Georgia was an absolute miracle the dogs loved her instantly. We have two poodles a 2 year old and 1 year old. When our flight got delayed due to winter weather she was super kind and extended her time. Definitely glad we found Georgia and she will be booked again soon”
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.
