“Katie took excellent care of Hazel! She sent me daily updates and pictures. Before Hazel’s stay, we had the chance to meet, and Katie ensured that she was fully informed about Hazel’s needs and personality.”

My baby gets seizures from time to time so its important she stays in a home where the sitter can take care of her during and after them and Anais did a wonderful job taking care of her during and after she experienced on even on medication. Would recommend and book again. Thank you ✨”

“Sam did an amazing job caring for my dog, Sterling, while I was away on vacation. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I really appreciated the photo updates—they gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Sterling was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“I had a somewhat challenging situation when I needed a sitter. I had recently rescued a dog who had been in foster care for a few months but still needed a lot of healing and training. She is very timid and nervous and takes time to trust new people and other dogs, so patience is incredibly important. Unfortunately, I had a work trip scheduled shortly after she arrived and right after her spay surgery, so I needed to find a sitter quickly. Patty knew all of this going in and was still eager to help. Patty was amazing. She was incredibly patient and encouraging with my dog, made thoughtful accommodations when she needed them, and kept me updated with multiple videos and texts throughout the day. It meant a lot to see how attentive and caring she was while I was away. Over time, my dog warmed up to her, started playing with the other dogs, and even enjoyed cuddling on the couch with Patty. Given how timid she can be, that progress says everything about the environment Patty creates. Patty was also very accommodating with my schedule and allowed me to add additional days to the stay. Knowing my dog was in good hands made that decision easy. I highly recommend Patty for both daytime care and overnight boarding. She truly loves dogs and clearly knows what she’s doing.”
“Dina was a great sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, she communicated so well, and she was flexible when my travel plan was altered. I would definitely use her again.”
“Isabella is amazing! She welcomed our timid pup-Matilda into her home with warmth and kindness. She was attentive to Matilda’s needs and provided plenty of activity and attention. Communication was easy and she shared the perfect amount of photos and updates daily. Her sweet pup- Ollie was also welcoming. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent communication. She provided pictures and updates regularly. My pets are comfortable in her clean and very tidy home. Definitely will book pet sitting with Ashley again!”

Rocco always has a wonderful time with Sarah! She is so sweet with him and keeps us updated with pictures of his adventures; she is also flexible and understanding, which we really appreciate. We trust her completely and Rocco is looking forward to his next stay with her!
Joselyn was amazing! You can really tell she enjoys being around dogs and caring for them. Don’t be scared off by the low rating previously. I was in a pinch and needed a sitter and I’m glad I gave her a chance. She told me that was because of a miscommunication from the customer end about timings which I don’t think was her fault and she has been penalized for ever since because of it being an early review. She was one of the most communicative sitters I’ve had. Constantly keeping me in the loop and updating me. . I’m glad I believed her because my dog came back smiling, happy, and she kept us updated with lots of pictures along the way. I will definitely be leaving my pup with her again!
Samantha was great! I felt very comfortable leaving my older dog, Bailey with Samantha. She also had an older dog on the same medication, and made sure she ate (which sometimes bailey gets so nervous she wont). I know she was well taken care of and would book again!

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.
95% 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 GA 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.
