“Our experience with Christy was great!! She arranged for us to meet before our appointment and answered all my questions. She was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent updates and pictures. We had to change our time at one point and she was very flexible and understanding. Will definitely be booking with Christy again in the future!”
“Mavis & Molly had such a great time with Savannah, it was hard to get them to leave. Not only did they have plenty of room to play, but Savannah also spent time on teaching them manners. I will certainly reach out to Rover/Savannah for our next trip.”
“Everything was seamless, from meet and greet to pickup and drop off, Bianca made me feel secure with leaving my dog in her care. Constant communication with texts and pictures was just what I needed to reassure myself he was in great hands. As someone who normally takes their dog everywhere or has family watching him, I was totally confident I made the right choice with Bianca. I would definitely recommend and rebook with her any time.”
“Amanda was amazing! She was very accommodating and made my puppies feel comfortable and like they were at home. They didn’t seem to miss us which is a win in my book.”
“Harriet was the absolute best. Communicative, caring, responsive, mindful, and just went absolutely above and beyond when taking care of Gnocchi, which is every pet parent’s dream! Highly highly recommend her for any dog sitting needed”
“Cody took great care of our Maui dog and we were so grateful he was available to keep him so last minute! He sent updates throughout the weekend, was kind, friendly, and welcoming! Thanks again Cody!!”
“Karrla kept our little Matilda for 9 days while we went on a cruise. We received video updates almost daily and felt so comfortable leaving our baby with her. If you have a small dog and need a 5 star sitter, you should check Karrla out. You’ll be glad that you did.”
“Another great stay!! Happy’s a senior gentleman with arthritis and pain issues, but both times he’s been with Kay, he’s come home cheerful and energized. He receives excellent care when he’s there, and LOVES visiting with the other dogs. It’s priceless for us to feel comfortable about our best boy when we have to be away. Thanks Kay, again and again!”
“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!”
“This was Moki’s first long stay while we traveled, and I’m really glad we chose Christy to leave him with. She sent an update every day, and allowed us to have a home visit beforehand so we could meet her sweet Frenchies, and Penelope, her bulldog. Moki was happy and calm when we picked him up, and eager to go into her house again when we stopped by to pick up something we left behind. I would definitely book with Christy again.”
“Kristen’s home is Beau’s second home!! We love her and her family and all they do! It is so nice to have her for our pet sitter because she has does amazing job with our pet!”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated with plenty of photos which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for the entire time. I could tell he felt comfortable. I'll definitely be booking with Laura again!”
“Our Duke had a great time at Brittney’s house. She sent me pictures how he was playing with her dog until they were exhausted! 😄 However, it was only for one night but I would recommend her. She loves what she does! 🐾”
“Ford had the best time during his stay with Tiffany and her sweet family! Tiffany was very communicative and kept me updated on all of Ford's behavior during his visit. I really appreciated her kindness and ability to work with us on timing and everything. We will definitely be using her again!”
“We are thrilled to continue to have Taylor watched our dog Amy. She is incredibly loving and attentive to all of Amy’s needs. It is a relief to be able to travel out of state and never worry! I would highly recommend Taylor!”
“Vikki was a total lifesaver! Our original dog sitter canceled on us at the last minute, and when I reached out to Vikki, she responded quickly and was able to watch Loki for us. I was so relieved because my family and I were leaving out of town for an event. Vikki kept me updated on Loki every day, responded quickly, and was very flexible. We truly appreciate her and are so thankful she was able to help us!”
“Daphne took great care of Tilly during her stay! I received plenty of pictures and updates, and Tilly had such a good time that she didn’t want to come home! I would definitely book with Daphne again.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Decatur
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 366 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.
