“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! We highly recommend Hope and we know that our doggie is well taken care of and loved whenever he is there!”
“I loveeeeeeeddd Josh! I was so nervous to leave my dog with someone other than family but Josh quickly became family for Saint. He sent constant updates with pictures and videos of Saint playing with friends and running around the yard. It helped me stay calm during the stay. I can't wait to send him back over there with his new friends. Thank you again so much Josh!”
“We were very lucky to have found Brooke! We needed a last minute sitter that could watch our pup for the entire day with a late-night pickup, and she was happy to accommodate us. She was very communicative throughout the stay, and it was such a relief knowing our dog was in good hands with all the pictures & updates that were sent to us. Brooke is an absolute gem - we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“Peggy is so conscientious and caring. Our dog has jumped fences in the past, so Peggy worked with us to make a plan to keep him safe during his stay. He has separation anxiety, and Peggy took so much care to distract him at drop-off and to calm him during his stay. She is super responsive and sent plenty of updates and pictures. We’re so happy to have connected with her. ☺️”
“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’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
“Sydelle took such great care of Luna. She has a dog named Luna too and they started playing from the start. She was sweet responsive and dependable. She walked the dogs, sent me pics and even got Luna to eat which she only does when she feels comfortable. I was on vacation but if I’m ever back or move here I will hire her again for sure!”
“Erica and Andrew were timely with drop off and pick up coordination, great communicators, and sent lots of photos. I really appreciate the attention to detail and care for my senior doggie 💗💗💗”
“Danielle was very warm and caring. I felt comfortable leaving my baby with her. My dog has some anxiety but I could tell from the check-ins that she was relaxed and comfortable during her stay. I’ve already set up my next booking!”
About: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. After 16 years caring for my own dog through every stage of life, I learned that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs. I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and comfort level so they receive thoughtful, individualized care and feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My apartment community also has plenty of green space, making it easy to give dogs regular outdoor time and exercise while keeping them on a consistent routine. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special preferences to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. In my home, dogs also have access to a dog-proofed balcony where they can safely relax and enjoy fresh air under my supervision. I’ll provide regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Laura has kept our energetic puppy on multiple occasions and has become our go-to in Atlanta for dog daycare and boarding! Her pup, Scoops, makes a great playmate and Hank always comes home tired! I could not recommend Laura more”
“Samma was very accommodating & clearly loves dogs & knows what she's doing. My dog is a very energetic & very large puppy, so he's a handful, but she was great about sending updates, & giving me a report when I picked him up, I'll definitely use her service again in the future.”
“Kristen & Jason are fantastic! Our pups are around 4&5 years old, which means they have puppy level energy but adult like strength, and at just under 50 lbs each, they can be a handful! We did doggy daycare and they both came back happy and exhausted! We received a TON of adorable pictures throughout the day (we were expecting maybe one or two, especially just for one day, but we got like 12 haha), and after a good night's rest they were still exhausted, sleeping deeply into the next morning! Our dogs loved them so much that one even refused to get back into the car until Kristen and Jason disappeared from sight (we've never seen that before). So to put it simply, they're the best and would highly recommend for anyone else!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our E. We were visiting for 3 days and were fortunate to find her . Audrey gave him extra walks since she felt he liked them so much . She made sure to play with him and to make sure he ate as well. She waited up for us and allowed a late pick up so we could attend our basketball game as well !”
About: Hello! I grew up in New Jersey and have called Georgia home for the last 8 years. As early as I can remember, I’ve loved being around animals of all shapes and sizes. I bond easily with most animals because I am a kind, calm, and confident person. My friends call it a nurturing spirit because countless times I have been to a gathering or party and someone's pet decided that I was their new best friend. When I started living on my own in Atlanta, I decided it was time to adopt my first pets as an adult. I adopted two seniors who still had so much love to share. Their names were Brittanica (the cat) and Roberta (the dog). Both were diagnosed with chronic illnesses that required IV fluids and maintenance medications that had to be given on particular schedules. With advice from their care team, I made sure that each interaction for treatment was a positive experience. Sometimes I pulled out all the stops with treats, bundling them in a blanket, and setting up a soothing environment. If your pet requires such treatments, written notes would be appreciated so I can reference the process as much as possible. My current pets are younger than my first two and keep me on my toes! We have a lot of fluffy fun as Stellaluna is a sweetheart, longhaired domestic cat and Sir Waddles Von Wigglebutt is a very friendly, laid back corgi. We have a good routine where the first thing we do when we wake up is pre-breakfast cuddle time! There have been times where we’ve needed to be flexible and eat breakfast first though. My day-to-day is structured so that I can get steps in with Waddles and I can set up enrichment activities for his working dog nature. Often you’ll see us with the Atlanta Corgi group so he can be a social butterfly. If the weather isn’t great or I have a deadline to meet at work, he’ll stay home and do puzzles. Other hobbies that fit in my schedule include playing DND or board games, doing dog training classes with Waddles, and watching TV with Stella. When it comes to taking care of your pets, I will make sure that we keep to the routine they’re most familiar with too! We’ll do videos and pics as much as we can during the visit. My goal with each visit is that your pet is treated well and feels like they’re getting their own vacation even though they’ll be missing you. I work in the film industry in post production and I work remotely from home. I will have plenty of time to play and check on your furry friend for scheduled appointments. When I do not have an active contract, I enjoy taking longer walks and playing with your pet extra with your pet. To guarantee more than 30 minutes of play time, please book my 60 min visits. Safety is a top priority when I am taking care of animals. Regardless of how well trained a pet is, they are animals and are unpredictable at times. For that reason, when walking your dog, I will make sure that it is on leash unless we are in your fenced yard. If your dog is staying over with me, a crate is necessary so they have their own space where they’re safe when I’m not home. I do have a cat so if your dog is not cat friendly, we will not be able to work together. I believe in strong communication and transparency. While with your fuzzy friend, I will send you updates and photos through the app!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs forever. There has not been a full year in my life where I didn’t have a family dog or a dog of my own. We recently lost our pit mix to a tumor and our sr husky mix could use come company. I am home every day and have the ability to take care of your dog while you’re away I have a large fenced backyard that will allow your dog to be out and active. Large fenced yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around. I do have 1 senior dog who’s a little less mobile than he used to be.

We had a great experience with Josh! His two pups are sweet and well behaved and Cora loved it there! Josh is super attentive and communicative, and it was great to see how comfortable Cora could feel right away running around in their wonderful outdoor space. Thanks Josh!
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! We highly recommend Hope and we know that our doggie is well taken care of and loved whenever he is there!
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 2,801 sitters in Decatur, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
