“Words can't truly express how I feel about Anais. I found her at the very last minute after a bad fit with another sitter. She opened her home up to my Baxter and treated him just like he was one of her own. She gave me constant updates and pictures galore. Baxter had an amazing time at her home and was able to interact with other dogs easily. Anais is such a special person and has a God given talent for taking care of Fur Babies. I will definitely be using her again. She is a permanent fixture in our family. ?❤”
“Logan was a great sitter. He was very responsive, professional, and took good care of my senior pup. He sent pictures during the stay and communicated any behavioral observations since this my dog’s first time staying with Logan’s family. Great experience overall and I plan to rebook soon.”
“Hope and her husband were great! My buddy looked like he was having a great time! They were communicative and put my mind at ease immediately. The only only only hiccup that we had was since this is a multipup home some dogs are adverse to dogs that are not neutered. This could have been very bad! BUT, Hope was flexible and they were able to accommodate my dog’s needs to the fullest!”
“They were so awesome at first I was a little nervous because it’s my first time hiring a dog sitter but they help me feel at ease and they sent pictures and cawfee seemed happy the whole time I am extremely satisfied and will definitely be hiring them again in the future.”
“Antonio took wonderful care of my dog, Lucy — even on short notice! He kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and photos, and his communication was always quick and friendly. Lucy had a great time, and I’d definitely book with him again or recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their pet.”
“Peggy is the best! She has taken care of my baby before and is so thorough, kind, and reliable. She sent photos daily as well as videos, very responsive via text. She threw my dog a birthday party too and made him a dog cake 🥹 she takes care of my dog as if he were hers. Will book again. Thanks Peggy!”
“Lily took excellent care of my foster dog Harley while I was caring for another pet. She came home happy and and with extra toys! As a pet sitter myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Thank you Lily!”

I am telling you...if you want your pup in loving and caring hands....Erin should be your choice every time!!”
“Kelsey was AWESOME! She was communicative, prepared, experienced, and super kind. I think my dog had a blast with her this weekend. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her first the next time I need to a sitter. Bonus- Kelsey painted a beautiful watercolor portrait of my dog that I’ll keep forever 🥺”
“Amanda and Alexander took such wonderful care of our 6-year-old golden retriever, Doug, while we were away for a week. They sent multiple updates every day with lots of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how much fun he was having. Doug loved getting to play with their dog Reiko, and it was clear he was treated like part of the family. We never had to worry because we knew he was happy, safe, and incredibly well cared for. 😊 We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with Amanda and Alexander again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitters!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Decatur
Ericka is quite wonderful - she watched our frenchie Cosmo while my wife and were out of town for a long weekend. Her place is perfect for dogs and she has an awesome fenced-in back yard. She sent great updates every day with hilarious pictures and videos. She took excellent care of our little gremlin and was very mindful of his outdoor time in the heat, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Ericka to watch anyone’s pet, and we hope she can watch Cosmo again in the future if she’ll have him (even though he’s worthless when it comes to helping out with the yard work, ha!).
Samantha and her pup were so inviting that my Laney felt right at home as soon as she arrived. It was the first time I have left her with a sitter that she wasn’t stressed out upon arrival. She had a great time with Samantha and was well cared for. She will definitely be going back. Thank you!!
Sarah was great! She took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away, and it was so nice knowing they were in good hands. She was easy to communicate with, dependable, and made the whole experience stress-free. We came home to happy pups! We really appreciate her and would definitely have her watch our dogs again!
Dana is hands-down one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever worked with! It is so comforting to leave town knowing our dog is in such caring, attentive, and gentle hands. Dana kept us updated throughout the stay and went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt safe, comfortable, and well-loved. We will continue to book with Dana in the future
Audrey is great! A certified pup lover and wonderful care taker, who goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable and keeping up with training. This is the second time she’s watched our teen dog Pepper, and she always does a great job. She sends plenty of photos and keeps us up to date with how Pepper’s feeling. This time Audrey even went out of her way to purchase and feed her food that would feel better on an upset tummy. This time was an extended stay (over a week), which required a hand off to my mother who was watching Pepper for a few days and the handoff was seamless. I know Pepper is in good hands with Audrey and I highly recommend her!
This was our first experience boarding our mini Bernadoodle, Alfi. From the initial meet and greet we felt Alfi would be in good hands and have an environment like home - no crate, large yard to run in, and plenty of pets. We received updates a few times a day and saw him playing, chilling, and just overall loving his new friends. Alfi will definitely board with Josh in the future.
Kristen was awesome with our little fur baby. We were a little bit nervous as this is the longest stay we’ve ever booked on rover, but Kristen did a great job making sure Gypsy felt at home. She shared regular updates and photos about how Gypsy was settling in and that allowed us to be at ease and enjoy our honeymoon. I would definitely book Kristen again!

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.

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.
