“Stephen and Hannah took wonderful care of our Border Collie Hiro. They made a comfortable and warm environment. Drop off and pick up was easy. Hiro came back a happy dog. We will definitely be back!”
“She was amazing. She sent me updates about Zuko at least once or twice a day with pictures of my baby too. He seemed happy at her place. She also helped me figure out how to start helping Zuko with separation anxiety through crate training. 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who will take care of your fur-baby like her own.”
“Christy is fantastic. She takes great care of our pup. We have booked with her multiple times and are always so happy that we did. Pictures and videos during his stay and always replies promptly or is flexible with our booking. 10 out of 10 recommend.”
“Cody was great with our fur baby's! It was clear they just became part of the family for their stay, and we received lots of photos every day of them snuggled up cozy and happy. 🥰 They almost didn't want to leave when we picked them up today, the little traitors. One of our pups has SEVERE separation anxiety and we were really worried about how he would handle a new sitter, but Cody had everything under control and we were able to enjoy our trip without staying glued to the phone worried about our little guy. Thanks, Cody!”
“Emily did a great job taking care of our two dogs. We were a little nervous leaving our rescue dog with someone new since she can be a bit shy, but Emily helped ease our nerves. Would definitely have our dogs stay with her again!”
“I had an amazing experience with Janet taking care of my dog at her house. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and treated my dog like her own.I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter!”
“Bianca was great! She was able to take Opie after a last minute cancellation. She provided plenty of updates and pictures. She asked a lot of questions to ensure Opie would have a good stay. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth took great care of Milo during his overnight stay. She kept us updated with a photo, and Milo came home happy and well cared for. We’d be happy to book with her again.”
“She is a dog lover and kept me updated on how my yorkie was during the week. Including pictures. This made things easier for me since it was our first time using Rover. Would recommend.”
“Marissa did a great job taking care of my dog, and was very easy to communicate with. She provided updates and went above and beyond to make my very nervous dog feel more comfortable. Her dogs are also very friendly and tried their hardest to be friends with my shy puppy. Maybe next time my dog will play with them.”
“Paul and Stephanie were great. This was the first away from family trip that my dog has had in a long time and he seemed to have a great time. They were very accommodating to him and were great about sending picture updates to let me know he was happy and being cared for. Would highly recommend.”
“She did an amazing job taking care of our frenchie. She sent a daily update with pictures included. We would recommend and will definitely use her care again.”
“I highly recommend Elizabeth! She took excellent care of my dog, Noodles, while I was away. He was so happy and clearly well-loved during her time with him. Elizabeth kept him engaged with his favorite game of fetch and made sure he got plenty of walks. It’s such a relief to know he was in such good hands!”
“Excellent communication. My dogs were happy when I picked them up. I was nervous to leave my dogs b cause I never had left them before this past weekend. I felt very secure leaving Buddy and Louie with Ashley and Tyler. Will definitely be rebooking, I won't even consider leavingy pets with anyone else!”
“Layne and her family were so great with my dog, Hachi! I was a little nervous to leave him since it was his first time staying with unfamiliar people but their friendliness and confidence made me feel immediately comfortable. Layne was very open to meeting Hachi’s needs and making accommodations to make sure he felt safe and at ease. She also sent me daily pictures and updates of how he was doing. Their 2 dogs were obviously super used to having new guest dogs around and accepted Hachi as another member! I would absolutely have them watch Hachi again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 355 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Decatur sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Decatur landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Decatur home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 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 .
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 AR 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.
