About: I have taken care of my own dogs and family and friends dogs for the past several years. I understand how important it is to ensure that the pet feels safe and secure while their favorite humans are out of town, along with keeping their schedule on track. I am currently available most afternoons and weekends. My current schedule is very flexible and can work around most needs and days of the week. I will care for your pets as you would like them to be cared for, whether that is crating at night or making sure they are walked both in the morning and the afternoon.
“Stephen was responsive and took excellent photos of Sarabi while watching her. He also alerted me of a problem with her treats and was willing to help out with the situation should the solution call for it, which was very much appreciated. Sarabi had a good time with him and was all smiles.”
“Caitlin did another fantastic job with the boys. Buster was far more calm and had his happy bark going when he saw Caitlin. Both dogs have bonded well with Caitlin. She is a great dog walker.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of animals my entire life. I’ve never been without an animal in my 24 years of living. I’m really good at giving baths and following specific instructions. I have my own transportation. I have also done some drop ins for my family and friends while they’re out of town to take care of their animals. I promise I am extremely responsible and you can trust me with your furry friends. I also exercise so walking animals can help me get in my workout as well as theirs so it’s a win win for everybody. I do not discriminate against any dogs or cats. I love all of them equally and they will all get equally loved by me every time I see them :). I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of availability throughout the week to take care of your animals! I can drop in, I can walk them whatever your needs are I can meet them for you! I have experienced distributing medicine so if you have any animals that need that I can do that for you. I will feed them,play with them-cuddle. Take them out for walks. Anything that you need!
“Jennifer came through for Dani while I was away and provided great communication and photos to make sure my baby was taken care of! I know Dani is in good hands with her”
“Solange is delightful. She was so responsive and helpful with my questions, communicative, and polite. She was genuinely excited to meet my two dogs and had a kind gentle energy. I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. Will use her services again and would absolutely recommend her.”
About: Hello Everyone, My name is Fallon, I am 27 years old and I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in marketing. I am looking for various pet sitting jobs I can do while I am working remotely! I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was in middle school and can provide recommendations if needed. I also have experience working in a doggy daycare as a canine coach. I have 2 cats of my own so I am very experienced with animals! I was a pre-vet major before I made the switch to marketing and took a non profit trip to Costa Rica where I assisted in surgery and administered medicine and other care to animals in need. I also administer medicine to 2 of my own pets daily so I am able and experienced to give medicine if needed. My hours are very flexible and I am free most days during the week. Because of my flexible schedule I am often times available the day of if needed. If anyone is looking for a pet sitter please feel free to contact me! I hope to hear from you soon -Fallon I am currently working remotely so I will have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I am able to make visits multiple times a day also I like to make sure there are no areas the animals can get into that could be harmful. I like to keep my home and others clean and leave it as I found it.
About: I grew up in an animal-loving home and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, and rodents. I have worked as a kennel tech at an emergency vet, volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and socializing cats, and have volunteered at a local wildlife center for over 5 years. Right now, I have 2 amazing dogs and foster kittens for Dekalb County Animal Services. I strive to offer enriching and engaging pet care services, whether that includes going on walks, playing in the park, or staying home and playing or giving scritches. I also pride myself in staying up-to-date with pet care methods. I can administer medication, provide simple grooming services (bath and brush), and provide small animal care. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand that they can have extra needs. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate you and your pet's needs. I am currently job hunting and fill my time with child-care and pet-care jobs, and I keep my availability calendar up to date and always strive to provide as much advance notice as possible for any changes. I will follow your pet's typical routines as closely as possible while building trust and comfort. My priority is providing engaging and safe care and caring for pets as if they're my own.

“Mary always shows up right on time. Gus loves her and she is really good about sending pictures and filling out the walk card for every walk she takes him on. We have had problems with getting her access to our apartment and she has been very patient and understanding with it. I would be lost without her help every week!”

Elizabeth was also always excellent at communicating any changes and gave me daily updates on the walk. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Decatur
Nima was hands down 100% amazing! She treated our fluff ball like a king, truly like a member of the family. She adapted to his style and really seemed to understand him. She gave us detailed updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It made us so happy knowing our puppy was being cared for with such respect and love, making the time apart much easier for both him and us.
Ella was an outstanding dog walker for our pup. She was always prompt, caring, and communicative. She managed to craft unique messages each day, keeping us updated while we traveled, and took great pics. This resulted in worry-free travel for us and a great experience for our senior pup.
Georga is great and my dogs loved the time and cuddles they spent with her! She was amazing with my timid pup and my very enthusiastic/loud pup. She was awesome about sending updates and playing with both my pups and cats! I really appreciate all the care Georga took of them and I felt great knowing they were with her.
It’s our last week with Solange and we are so sad. I would not have stopped if we didn’t move. She has so been attentive and caring with my dog on walks for the past year. Takes the cutest pics which is a plus. She's been flexible when possible and always has good communication. Would recommend her services in a heartbeat.
My dog was being weird and not letting him put a leash on her. She kept running away. I told Timo to leave and not to worry about it. He didn’t. He sat patiently for 30 minutes and waited for my dog to warm up to him. And took her out. Just an awesome dog walker who went above and beyond when he didn’t have to. Showed immense care and initiative.
Thank you, Mary, for taking such good care of my dog, Julie! It is a huge relief to know Julie is loved and cared for while I'm gone for the day. It eases some of the pain of being away from home to know that Julie is getting playtime, walks, and attention from someone who genuinely cares about her. Mary is not only great with dogs, but she is an excellent communicator. She texts me daily to keep me up-to-date and shares pictures of the walks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Decatur on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,209 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Decatur. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Decatur. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Decatur.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Decatur. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
