“Cody was great. He made sure my fur babies were comfortable at his house. They played and slept with his fur baby and had a great time. Will definitely return when out of town again!”
“Her and her family were amazing with our dog! We had a last minute need to watch him while we were out of town 10 hours away. I was able to coordinate with her on picking him up at another sitters house and she kept him overnight for us. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands and provided the pickup service. All of the pictures showed him so happy and being loved on so much. She will definitely be our go to sitter from here on out. ☺️”
“Layne was the very first sitter we booked through Rover, and she made the whole experience wonderful. Our initial meet-and-greet went great, and while we were away, she sent daily updates with photos of Dean clearly having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and comfortable in her home. We’re so thankful for the care and attention she gave him, and we’d definitely book with her again!”
“Copper really enjoyed his stay. He took really good care of Copper and he had a blast. He sent me lots of videos and pictures of my pup daily. I would trust him again with my dog.”
“My bordoodle dog Chloe had a great time staying with Barbara and her two small dogs over the weekend. Barbara took great care of her and sent me pictures and/or videos of her every day. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Meagen took care of our dog like it was her own. She was very spoiled the short time she stayed with Meagen. Meagan was very attentive to our dog and kept us updated the entire time.”
“Miranda and Joey took the best care of our pup! We have a large husky doodle and he got along great with their pets. They also sent us update pictures of our pup throughout our trip :)”
“Sarah and her family are the sweetest! They took care of my little puppy for a week even when she’s still potty training. They took the best care of her. Highly recommend!”
“Really glad we found Clarence & Lindsay! They were absolutely amazing with our dog, Suki, while we were away on a 2.5-week vacation. They made our trip completely stress-free! We received daily updates with photos and videos of Suki playing, running around their big yard, going on walks, and just having the best time with their 4 dogs & a cat! She’s a very high-energy dog who needs lots of attention and activity, and they gave her exactly that. it felt like Suki was on her own vacation too! 😂 They also continued working on her training and she followed thru with the commands she knows. It was so reassuring to know she was not only being cared for, but also getting plenty of structure and attention. I trust Clarence & Lindsay wholeheartedly with Suki and would absolutely have them watch her again. We’ll definitely continue using their service in the future. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pup like family!!!”
“Chuck took exceptional care of my dog, Ella. She is a senior dog with some recent health issues and he was so good with her..she requires medications and he made sure she got what she needed. She’s also not used to a lot of people other than family and hasn’t been boarded for several years so she was pretty whiny and clingy for the first few days but she settled in. I so appreciate his patience with her. I would 💯 recommend Chuck for pet sitting! Five stars!!”
“Love Jocelyn! She always just the sweetest and helps accommodate my needs as well as my pup. Sadie loves going there and I really think she doesn’t even miss us. lol Sadie is always clean (she gives her a bath every time!) and happy! Highly recommend!”
“Alicen was AMAZING with Dan!! Helped us out in a last minute Hail Mary on a Holiday weekend as well!! Could never recommend someone more! Danny played so well with her 2 pups and Alicen kept us very well updated with pictures!!”
About: I started out fostering puppies for a few years, one of which I kept as my foster fail, Emma! Emma loves to play with other dogs and would love the opportunity to hang out with yours while you get away for either work or fun. I have a full time job where I work from home, so would have plenty of time to care for your dog as needed. I am available most weeks and weekends. Since I have my dog, it would be essential to arrange quick meet and greets prior to committing. I have my dog Emma, who is a Saint Bernard mix. Though I just have her at the moment, she grew up with other dogs and loves the companionship. I recently constructed a fence for my backyard for ease of potty breaks, though stairs are necessary for this. Emma has free reign of the house while I am working, but I do have an x-pen and extra dog bed I could setup if needed. Emma takes daily medicine for her joints and thyroid, so I am used to giving medicine if your pup requires medicine as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 349 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.
93% 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.
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 , 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 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.
