“Thank you Kelly & Brian for making this process a breeze. This was my first time using the app and I would definitely book with you again. The updates and photos put me at ease, ensuring my little one was comfortable. Again thank you for everything!”

“Aram kept my dog for a full day and overnight stay, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such great care of my boy and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos, videos, and frequent messages. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Aram has a beautiful home with a huge backyard that my dog absolutely loved. He clearly had an amazing time! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, Aram is the best there is! You will not be disappointed. She is officially my go-to dog sitter from now on! Thank you so much, Aram, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! ❤️🐾”

About: Hi 👋 I’m Victoria! I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 2019. Then was admitted to Ross University for their veterinary medicine program. I love animals but decided I’d rather own the vet clinic than be the veterinarian so I worked as a vet tech while getting my MBA. I finished my masters in December of 2022 and have plans to start my own animal hospital. I have volunteered with several animal shelters and wildlife rehab centers since 2016. I worked at Animal Tracks Veterinary Hospital from June 2018 until August 2019. I have been trained in dog CPR at Mississippi State University’s school of veterinary medicine. I can do grooming (dogs and cats), with nail trim and ear cleaning for an extra $20 fee. I am able to medicate (oral, injections, creams, etc...). I have closely worked with with diabetic cats, cats with strokes (wobbly cat syndrome), post surgery care, and canine seizures. I can go on long runs, take them to the dog park, or just spend some time cuddling your furry family member. I will send daily pictures or videos of your pet while you’re away as well! I have experience working with domestic animals (large, small, and farm) as well as bobcats, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, opossums, and coyotes. I am currently working on obtaining my wildlife rehabilitator certification. I’d love the chance to come meet your baby! I am currently working full-time for a tech company and am remote. If your fur babies need out in the middle of the day I can accommodate this as ling as I can use the WIFI. I have a cat, and 2 Australian Cattle Dogs who are very friendly. They are welcome to stay with me if they are potty trained and get along well with others.

“Once again, Deborah was fantastic taking care of my fur-baby. She’s very attentive, caring, and flexible. She sends several updates during the stay and is quick to respond. Highly recommend! 5⭐️”

About: I have hands-on experience working in a professional dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’ve also been boarding dogs in my own home for years, where they’re treated like part of the family. Most of my bookings have come through my Facebook business page, and I’m now joining Rover to connect with more clients and their pups! I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, caring for senior and high-energy dogs, and managing multiple dogs safely. I love sending owners photo updates so they can relax knowing their pup is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so caring for your pup fits naturally into my daily routine! I have plenty of time throughout the day for attention, playtime, and regular outdoor potty breaks. We have a very large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for play, exploring, and sniffing. Our neighborhood also has a private lake with a walking trail, so if your dog enjoys walks, we can work those into their stay too! Our days include a mix of activity and cozy downtime indoors. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, potty, and bedtime schedule to help them feel comfortable and settled. Whether your pup loves to play or prefers to curl up nearby, I can adjust our routine to their needs. I also send daily photo updates so you can see how your pup is spending their time with us! I have a large fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and explore. Dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture and make themselves at home. I have professional daycare and boarding experience, along with a long list of regular clients outside of Rover who trust me with their dogs. I always follow each owner’s feeding, medication, crate, and routine instructions and send regular photo updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for.
“Jennifer has been nothing short of awesome and amazing! She loves our animals as if they are hers and send updates/ photos to keep in touch with your furbaby! I intend to have her sit for my pet again!”


“Connie was the best! Casper enjoyed playing with her fur babies! She even got him off the puppy pads and do his business outside. She is warm and friendly and made me feel that Casper will be cared for!”

“Juyne and her family took such great care of our fur babies. Our fur babies were happy to stay with there. They received lots of love and attention. We definitely will use her in the future! I highly recommend you book with Juyne. Thanks again for taking such great care of our babies.”
“Shaquita is amazing! I was so nervous about boarding for the first time but it was a great experience. Loved seeing pictures each day❤️ I’d definitely book with her in the future”

I work from home and create my own schedule, so I have abundant time to give pets all of the attention and care they need! I have a fenced home that is safe and secure. I have 15+ experience caring for clients’ homes and have rental property. So, I take the responsibility of house sitting and boarding seriously and guarantee a quality experience.
About: Experienced Pet Care for All Kinds of Animals! I’ve always loved animals, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a wide variety. I’ve farm-sat for a property with 5 dogs, 16 horses, chickens, and a cat. I’ve also looked after homes with aquariums, koi ponds, ferrets, hedgehogs, and turtles. I even have experience working with parrots and parakeets. With over a decade of dog-sitting experience for both small and large breeds, I’m dedicated to following every pet’s unique routine—whether that means daily walks, special diets, or administering medications. Your pets will get all the outdoor time, care, and attention they need while you’re away. I have multiple references available, and I’m happy to provide them to give you peace of mind. My goal is to make sure you can enjoy your time away, knowing your pets are in good hands. I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets, offering a range of services including house sitting, drop-in visits, boarding, and dog walks.

Whether you need someone to stay overnight, check in on your pets during the day, or take them for a walk, I’m here to provide loving and reliable care. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or specific requests! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize following any specific instructions you provide to ensure your pets receive the best possible care. I will maintain their routine and comfort by adhering to their feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. In addition to pet care, I’m happy to help with small tasks around your home, such as collecting mail, taking out the trash on designated days, and ensuring everything is in order while you’re away. My goal is to provide peace of mind, knowing that your pets are loved and your home is well cared for. For pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of playtime, social interaction, and a cozy place to relax. Each pet is treated as part of the family, with plenty of attention and affection. If your pet is not a fan of cats or other dogs my house has the space for me to place my own pets into half the house providing everyone comfort and safety if needed.

“Lorraine was PAWSitively awesome with our 9 month Bernedoodle Merlin! She went above and beyond and he had a blast playing with other puppies! She sent pics and videos of him while we were away on a cruise. She gave him a bath and took such great care of him and I could tell he was so happy when I picked him up because he had had a good time. I would highly recommend Lorraine for your dog boarding needs and we'll use her again next time I come to Huntsville!!”

About: As a dog mom myself I know it’s nerve wracking having to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care.. That’s why I make it priority to give every pet parent the same peace of mind I’d want for my own dogs. When your fur-baby is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. I know no two pets are alike, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. So whether they love to play, need extra enrichment, enjoy quiet companionship, or do better with structure, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they’re used to at home so they feel comfortable! I also love keeping pet parents involved, so you can expect lots of photos, videos, and updates throughout their stay or visit! Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. Outside of caring for client pets, you’ll usually find me spending time with my own dogs, going on walks and hikes, working on training, and socializing. Caring for animals isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy every single day. All pup’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is fully fenced for safe outdoor play, and dogs enjoy plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment activities, toys, and opportunities to relax throughout the day. Every dog is different, so I do my best to match their energy level and personality, whether they love to play with friends or prefer a little 1-on-1 attention. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, meals and treats are enjoyed separately, followed by a quiet rest break in their own cozy crate. I use crates as a positive, comfortable space to relax after meals as downtime which helps support healthy digestion before everyone is back to playing and exploring together.
“Griffin had a great time at his sleepover with Morgan! I appreciate all the care and attention put into our boy’s stay, ensuring he was comfortable. So happy to have a safe second home for him to go when needed!”

Michelle took amazing care of Coco while we were away for a whole month. She truly treated Coco like her own dog and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable. Michelle even bought Coco new treats, which was such a thoughtful gesture and showed how much she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Coco was in such loving hands. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Decatur is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $50 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 of October 2026, there are 270 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Decatur. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Decatur can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Decatur home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Decatur.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Decatur sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
