“John is dependable, punctual, loves dogs and very easy to work with. Our dogs love seeing him everyday. Had no issues with John whatsoever. Great guy!!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of different pets in my life, from birds, to turtles, gerbils, a rabbit and of course cats and dogs. I love animals & I would love to watch your babies for you while you’re away! I’m currently on the hunt for a full time gig. I’m super flexible with feeding times & letting your pets out due to this! I do not watch animals from my own home, but always take the utmost care of the pets I watch, in addition to their owner’s home!

“Talya was truly incredible with my baby Royce! I was nervous about using a dog sitter, especially because my dog is very strong, has lots of energy, and takes a while to get used to some people...but Talya and Royce got along great from the start! She was always timely and sent pictures during walks. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

Otherwise I am free to help you in when needed! Let me know how i can work into your schedule I am very supportive of special needs and care needed for any given pup.

“Jiayue is amazing! She and her boyfriend take excellent care of our two Aussies! While I was recovering from a hiking injury, they walked Piper & Gypsy for eight days. They were punctual and the dogs loved spending the hour each day with them. Dogs each have their own personality and it takes a special person(s) to understand and adapt to the dog and its eccentricities. Jiayue has an intuitive knowledge of how it works and our dogs love her as a result. Thank you Jiayue!”
“Fabiola was great with my little guys. She was communicative and took really cute pictures of my dogs on their outings. She even toweled them off when their bellies got wet.”
About: I’ve had fur babies my entire life. I’ve always loved animals and making sure they’re healthy and happy is a passion for me…! Let’s Connect I do a lot of my work from home and have my schedule pretty comfortable to spend time with fur babies. If I know ahead of time, I can accommodate. I have a nice sized apartment. I now have a backyard! My apartment complex has a large dog park, soccer field, walking trail and there’s even a dog park less than 2 minutes away from my house 🏡 nothing but fun and care here…

Nima is the absolute best! I couldn’t recommend her enough. I know that Lilly is taken care of each week by the sweetest human ever. She’s always tracking their walks, taking pictures, and sending updates! Her communication and thoughtfulness are unmatched. We are so thankful for you, Nima! :)
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.

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:
- 93% 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.
