“This is my second time booking with John! I usually wait until I’ve booked 2 or 3x to submit an honest review! This is my second time booking with John. I have only had one other dog walker that I trusted inside my home but I have moved too far from her. I have tried boarding but never felt comfortable enough or had to bother them for updates. Both times he was amazing! Sent plenty pictures to make me feel like Legend was safe and taken care of while I was gone. I had no worries and therefore 2 great trips back to back! Thanks John. I’m pretty sure he will continue to be my go to from now on.”
“Bryan has done an amazing job walking my dog, Moose, while I have to go into the office. He is punctual, a great communicator, and always sends plenty of pup pics during bookings. I highly recommend Bryan for all your pet needs!”
“Renee was very accommodating and thoughtful with a last minute request to watch my dog while I had to be out of town. She made this process seamless as it was my first time using Rover. She sent photos after each walk and my dog seemed to really like her. I’d definitely use her services again!”
“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: Dogs make my world go round! My current dog, Lucy is a pitbull mix that we adopted in New Orleans. She is a sweet, big girl with a lot more energy than my previous dog, a husky/greyhound mix from New York. I grew up with dogs and I understand how to take care of a diverse range of breeds, needs, and personalities. I love to walk dogs, play, cuddle, take them to the dog park, and more! I am experienced in caring for different dog breeds with different needs. I am here to make your pet care easier! I have a flexible schedule. I currently work part-time as I am home for the summer but can fit your dog's schedule into my own! I am available on weekends and nights. I am comfortable walking your dog and caring for them in any way which works best for them. If they like dog parks, I can take them too. I am unable to board dogs or take them to my own home.
“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.”
“Jay is great with our dog, Theo! He not only walks him but he takes him to the dog park everyday! When we come home, Theo is happier than he has been in a long time--i do think that is a direct result of Jay's time and attention to him!”
“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.”
“Melissa and Jordan did such an amazing job! On the first day my dog took a little while to warm up but they were so patient and really worked with her. By the second visit my dog was literally trying to jump in their car to go for a ride, haha. I’m so happy to know that she was in such great hands. Will definitely use again!!”

“Laurel has been very reliable and has had great communication with our dog walking needs. She’s very patient with our new dog and understands how to approach dogs, even when they are nervous/shy. Would recommend Laurel 100%!”

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.
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 August 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 .

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.
