“She was great! I have very anxious pups and she reassured me and took photos of them all day and sent them to me to keep me updated. She asked before giving any treats. She responds very quickly and had toys for them to place with! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: If your friend gets lonely and loves family and friends. This is the perfect visit. Outdoor play, lots of attention, walks and togetherness. I have kids and pets. Come stop by ◡̈ I’m an active SAHM, that loves to keep busy with furry friends. Ive house sitted for neighbors and thought I’d take it up a notch and reach out for more consistency in the neighborhood. I love spoiling our neighbors and would love to meet your special friends. My pets are crate trained as well as we have a doggy door. There’s baby gates for extra safety and protection as well. Daily walks and play with kids. My cat is gated for his own preference. And is a strict indoor cat. He’s snucken out… to the garage but he loves his home.
“Today was an overall good first day for our pups with Bianca. They seemed happy and content upon pick up. We have additional reservations next week for the pups to get to know Bianca better and settle into a routine. Really appreciate Bianca’s flexibility in scheduling.”
“Harriet is absolutely wonderful!! She’s great at communicating and sends lots of pictures. Something that really makes her stand out is the love and care she gives to the dogs in her care. She treated my puppy like a part of her family, and I could see how happy and content he was when I picked him up. We’ve had many bad experiences with sitters on Rover, we’re so happy to have finally found an amazing sitter!! I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I have experience in taking care of pets ever since I was 5 years old. I have the most experience with taking care of dogs with feeding, bathing, walking, and training. A pet is a family member and will be treated as such. I work from home every day and am able to freely care for your furry friend throughout the day and attend to their needs as needed. I have 3 kids who also love dogs. I am open all week and will make sure your pet is considered part of the family when taking care of them. I do not have a fenced-in yard but will walk your fur baby daily. We go out 3 times a day every day and have play time or stimulation such as lick mats daily.
“Marissa provided outstanding care to our 2 year old golden. We booked a week with Marissa for doggie day care while I was in town in a work trip. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Marissa!”
“Where do I even begin! Luca had the BEST time with Barbara. I was on vacation and needed someone to help my husband with our puppy, and Barbara was incredible from the start. She responded quickly, and we even got to meet her and her dogs beforehand. Luca didn’t want to leave! hahaha! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby.”
About: I have 3 years of hand on pet care experience as a dedicated dog owner, providing daily feeding, exercise, grooming, and attentive companionship. I’m also really good at teaching dogs new tricks 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day includes feeding on a consistent schedule, walks or exercise, playtime, and basic grooming, along with keeping their space clean and comfortable. Throughout the week, I make time for longer walks, extra enrichment activities, and monitoring their health and behavior to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I care for pets in a home by creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that matches their normal routine. I follow all owner instructions feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and any specific preferences to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure the space is secure (doors locked, no unsafe items within reach) and always supervise pets during play and outdoor time. I keep things clean by managing food areas, litter boxes, or waste, and I give pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals and have grown up around pets from an early age. For the past 3 years, I’ve also cared for and trained my own dog, giving me hands-on experience with daily care routines, behavior management, and creating a safe, loving environment for pets. I’m currently on summer break from my role as a substitute teacher, which allows me to have a flexible and open schedule for pet care services. Aside from two previously scheduled trips this summer, I am available to provide reliable, attentive care and ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced backyard that allows for secure outdoor play and exercise. My home is shared with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy the company of other pets and help create a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. I also have crates available if needed, whether for your pet’s established routine, comfort, training preferences, or safe rest time. My goal is to ensure every dog feels secure, cared for, and right at home during their stay.
“Norman had a great time with Eric as evidenced with lots of photos. Eric was easy to work with and flexible with my pickup time. Eric has a big fenced /shady yard where Norman could play with the other dogs. I will use Eric again and would recommend him to others.”
“My dog struggles a little with separation anxiety and just turned 1 yr old, but weighs over 60 pounds. He can be a handful sometimes. He has stayed with Lark four times, and is always excited when I pull into Lark’s driveway. Lark impresses me as a capable and kind caretaker with plenty of experience. Her organization and management skills allow for a safe and fun environment for the dogs. I highly recommend her as a dog caregiver.”
“I’m so happy we found Laura. My pup gets super excited when we are pulling up to her home. He is always tired when he gets home which means he has so much fun with Laura and her family! From daily walks, to multiple pictures throughout the day, to special feeding needs, Laura takes care of it all. Highly recommended!”
“Max has a great setup for doggy daycare. He made my scared, anxious pup feel right at home. My dog didn’t feel comfortable with the other dogs so he played with him outside and gave him the space he needed. He’s got a large fenced yard with plenty of grass, which my dog loves.”
About: I've been dog sitting since I was a teen. I love dogs, my Hans is my first Baby, he unfortunately passed away with cancer at the age of 6. We were blessed to adopt his sister (his mom's last litter around 4 years ago) Piper. Piper is very sweet and tender. I run about 4 miles a day. And I walk with my son, Hakan who loves dogs, about 2 times a day. Safe area, plenty of room to run and play. Your fur baby will spend all day with me, my little boy and our 4 year old, ultra sweet border collie, piper If needed, we have a dog crate for sleeping in, but your dog is welcome to sleep in whatever arrangement he or she is used to. I prefer to host dogs at my home, but I can come to you too, so long as it's not too far away. I hope to see you soon! I am currently a stay at home mom and typically home nearly all day. I run every day and go.out and enjoy being outside a lot. I don't have a fenced yard but I don't take dogs out without a leash. I have fun with the dogs and so do my kids Adelaj 9, Magnus 5 and Hakan 18 months
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years, from puppies and bottle fed kittens, to senior age pets who need that extra attention! Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their fur babies, and I have also trained several dogs.

I also have two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! I can easily crate your dog if needed and I am able to take them out very often. I am eager to take the time and effort to love on your pets while you are away! I am well familiar with caring for cats and kittens as well!
About: I’ve been around dogs, horses, cats and other animals my whole life. I have close friends that are vets I can call whenever! I send fun updates and treat all pets like my own! I can work from home on Fridays. The rest of the week I come home for lunch to spend time with the pups and only work 10 minutes from my house! I have a fenced backyard and one fur baby to have as company! I go for long walks every evening after work! I let the dogs roam free in my house!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Decatur
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 258 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Decatur. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Decatur commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 258 sitters in Decatur, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
