“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!”
“Thank you Cassandra for making Tashi feel welcome....he looked very happy in the photos. Since he will have an over night stay next week, daycare was a good way for him to get to know you and your place.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Maria was so great with Izzy! She made us feel better about leaving her for the day by asking questions and even picking her up to greet the other pups because she seemed nervous. When we picked up Izzy at the end of the day, we saw a happy and tired pup. We were happy to hear that she even got a few cuddles which are her favorite. We'll for sure be booking with Maria again!”
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
“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. ☺️”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats (often at the same time) since I was old enough to hold the leash and walk with one of my childhood family pups Hershey on my own. My spouse (Paroma) and I have fostered and rescued dogs and cats of all ages and sizes -- from rambunctious puppies and kittens to senior fospice (foster hospice) cats and dogs -- since 2018. We currently have a Pitty-mix (Mako) our long-legged Jack Russell terrier/Chihuahua/Corgi (Boris) and a sweet orange cat named Cathulu (or Cat, for short). Our animal care philosophy is simple: when your animal is with us, I (we) ensure they know they're loved, well-fed, and have plenty of play time, walks, and/or good company, no matter where they are. I am currently available for full time dog/cat sitting (our house boarding or in your house overnights), in-house/apartment visits, walks, play time, or anything besides certified training and grooming. I am available all seven calendar days in the week. I have a fenced yard, two sweet dogs and a cat to keep your creature company. If your dog or cat prefers their own space, I will absolutely ensure they have it in our home. When we schedule an appointment, I will gladly schedule a complimentary "meet and greet" for your pet(s) and I to get to know each other. During our "meet and greet," I'll ask you all of the questions related to your lovely pet's care. No "special need" or "quirk" will surprise me, so please feel free to share anything and everything with me as we meet and greet. I would be honored to take care of your sweet pet. They're family: they deserved to be treated like it.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have watched for many family and friends over the years, and have found so much joy with having a home full of dogs. I have a 9 year old golden retriever named Whiskey that I’ve had since he was 9 weeks old. We enjoy going for long walks on the beltline and old fourth ward park every day. I currently work full time from home and make my own meeting schedule and I have weekends off and tailor my current schedule around my own dog. I live in a very active community on the Atlanta beltline. The property is fenced and everyone is friendly. Providing overnight and longer stays as well as daycare during the day.
“Kristen & Jason are the BEST! They always take great care of my little Zoey. When I pick her up, she falls asleep in the car and then goes right to her bed when we get home! LOL... Rare for a 5 month year old puppy. I appreciate all the attention she gets during her stays :)”
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.
“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!”
“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 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.
“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!”
“Danielle was such a ray of light! We were on a road trip and wanted to spend the afternoon at the Georgia Aquarium. Since Danielle lives so close, she watched our pup, Libby, while we explored. She was wonderful with communication, flexible, and incredibly accommodating. She kept us updated with lots of photos and even sent a video of Libby having a great time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Danielle again. Highly recommend!”
“Laura is so great with our elderly Shih Tzu, Ray-Ray. Ray-Ray was recovering from a medical issue, and Laura was super attentive to her needs. Thanks for taking such good care of Ray!”

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 2,774 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.
