“Our sweet Golden loves Hope so much! She was amazing for Daycare services during our kitchen renovation, and now we take him once a week just so he can get some extra love during long work weeks!

About: I believe pets are family, and I care for them with same the patience, attention, and kindness I'd want for my own. You'll always receive updates, photos, and honest communications so you know your furry member is in good hands. My schedule is naturally pet-friendly. I start most mornings with a workout or walk, making it easy to incorporate walks and exercise for your dog. Since I work remotely from home and occasionally from local coffee shops, I have the flexibility to provide consistent care, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm, loving environment where your pet can feel at home. My apartment gives them room to relax, and a secure outdoor deck where pets can relax and enjoy fresh air while always remaining supervised.
“Luis is great. Brumble, our Beagle, can be timid with new people, yet he clearly trusted Luis and enjoyed his time in his care, as well as having a great time relaxing and playing with Luis’ pup. Definitely recommend!”
“I wish I could keep it a secret but my conscience compels me to say that Peggy was my luckiest and best find since relocating to Decatur. Both Chispa and I were delighted and impressed with her, her home and her Sparks. I know Chispa is in good and loving hands. Peggy is our new BFF.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was born, having 4 dogs throughout my life along with taking care of friend's and neighbor's dogs around Decatur! I'm a college student taking two online classes over the summer so considering I have a lot of flexibility during the week in the afternoon. I have a nice, fenced backyard with plenty of space to roam and play, making sure to keep an eye on them at all times!
About: I’m a huge dog lover, there isn’t much that I’m more passionate about than dogs. I come from a big dog loving family. I’ve been a dog owner most of my life. Since I was about 8 I would study and research all I could about dogs and I’ve even trained pretty much every family dog we’ve. It was mostly the basics and cool tricks. Even til this day I enjoy teaching my pup new fun tricks I pretty much have open availability on weekends. I work through the week but I’m willing to help out with the pups through the week as well My pup has free roam in my house. Only place off limits is the kitchen but I like for her to be comfortable . My pup is crate trained but I allow her to stay out if I’ll only be gone for a few hours. Making sure the house is clean first
“Alannah H is absolutely wonderful with my fur child Yana. She treats Yana as if she is her own. I constantly get photos and communications regarding Yana. It is a relief to know that I found someone that I can just and someone that treats my fur child as if she was her own. Thank you Alannah!”
About: I grew up with a sweet dachshund and have been a dog-lover ever since! Andrew and I both work from home full time, and that makes us the go-to pet sitter for neighbors and friends. We’ve had experience with both active dogs and those that might need a little more care and patience. We love having a new friend around to keep us company! We both work fully remote jobs and therefore can give your fur-baby all the attention they may need! We always aim to go out at least 4 times a day, but can adhere to your pet’s specific schedule. We offer flexible boarding availability throughout the week and weekends. For any weekend bookings, we do ask that your pet be comfortable being alone for at least a couple of hours since there may be instances where we will be out of the house running errands. While we don’t currently have any pets of our own, our pet-friendly apartment will cater to your furry friend’s comfort. We live on the Beltline making it the perfect setting for long walks or quick potty breaks. We’re more than happy to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it is crating them or something else.
About: I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’ve also spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I’ve been a dog mom for the past 5 years, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are. I’m reliable, attentive, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a private, fenced in back yard. I will also send a million pictures/videos if thats what you like (I know I do lol). I know how it feels to be away and missing my doggies so no judgement here. :) I currently have a very flexible schedule and am focusing on pet care full-time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and overnight when needed.

I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. As a dog owner myself, I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and comfort levels. I take time to ensure pets feel secure and adjust to their needs, whether that means playtime, structure, or space. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and prioritize clear communication and updates.

“Wow 10/10! Samantha was truly amazing! This was my first time getting a sitter and Prince’s first time with out me and Samantha really made this experience great! She was great with communication and really took care of my pup as her own. We will definitely be back and she is highly suggested ?.”

About: I am located in beautiful Belvedere park with lots of outdoor green space. For active pups, I have a large fenced in yard and the location is great for daily walks in the neighborhood. My 12 year old pup Leo passed away 🌈 recently and it has been a comfort to have furry friends in the house to keep me company! Being a dog lover who travels frequently, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. I will be sure to keep your dog well fed, active, and loved while you are away. If you would like, I would love to send you pictures of your precious pup while you are away so you can share in their fun! I would be happy to schedule a meet and greet with your dog before your time away to discuss any special needs or care that your dog may require! I work 100% of the time remotely and can take your dog out during the work day for a stroll or potty break, or give them some playtime in the backyard. I currently live in a house with a large privacy fenced backyard for dogs to roam around and get exercise. Whether we are playing fetch or tug of war, there is always something to keep your pup entertained.
“Armando and Cristina are wonderful. They took great care of my Quinn. They sent pictures and shared happy thoughts which were so calming to read, especially during a stressful day. Thank you so much for taking good care of Quinn. She she gets excited when we're turning onto the street which lets me know she's really happy and knows that your home is a safe and caring environment. I appreciate you both.”
“I needed a last minute sitter to watch my dog, who’s experiencing separation anxiety due to my new work schedule. Andrew responded quickly and he took great care of her and kept her company while I was away. Your pet is in good hands with Andrew!”
“My Boxer puppy spent the day with Samma and she had a blast playing with the other dogs there. Samma did an introduction before hand and was very communicative during the day. She was so sweet with Mila!”

Sarah was wonderful with our dog, Rocco. It was his first time being away from us and he spent most of the day snuggling with Sarah! She was so sweet and kind with him, and I felt totally comfortable leaving him with her. We look forward to having her watch Rocco again!
Audrey was a wonderful and caring sitter for our Jolie while my husband had a doctor's appointment nearby. It was our first time using Audrey but we set up a meet and greet by video in advance. I wouldn't hesitate to have our fur baby stay with Audrey again.
Adina is amazing! Her yard was perfect for Oden to run around and sniff, and she is kind and responsive. She sent pictures and a video! Oden had a great time and was very comfortable with her. My request was also very last minute - Adina was truly a lifesaver! 100% recommend

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Decatur commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,774 sitters in Decatur, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
