About: With 20+ years of dog love, I treat pups like royalty! Puppies, seniors, shy or playful—I’m your fun, loving, reliable sitter with a big heart. My schedule is super flexible! I can take long morning walks, strolls in the afternoon, and playtime plus evening walks are always on the agenda. My home is spacious with two floors, perfect for your pet to explore. When I take your furry friend out, they’ll always be on a leash, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos. I’m young, energetic, and passionate about sports, playtime, and, most importantly, giving all the love and attention your pet deserves
“When I tell you she is absolutely amazing I mean it !! Not only did she put a puffer jacket on my dog when it was below 30 degrees outside without me saying anything ,she treated my dog like he was hers . I would hire her over and over again .”
“Alexandria communicated with me wonderfully! I appreciated her coming so last minute to take care of my dog. You can tell she really loves animals. I'm always going to book with her in the future.”
“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!”
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.
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!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Decatur
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! :)
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.

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.
