“We just moved to the area and needed someone to watch our sweet pup. Denita scheduled a quick meet and greet. She was great and we really appreciate her taking care of our pup and sending us pictures along the way, thank you!”
“This was our first experience with boarding our cat. Sharon, was extremely friendly and welcoming to us and our cat. Sharon sent us daily updates and multiple photos letting us know how our cat was doing. Hands down the best you will find to watch your animals. Highly recommended!!! We will definitely use her services again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better place to board our dog! DeRee and her husband took great care of Apollo and sent us updates daily. On top of all that they took him in on very short notice, so we’re extremely grateful for that as well. Will use again!”
“Lynden is a true fur baby lover at heart. My dog enjoyed her stay hanging with their two little girls who were very sweet to her. I greatly recommend them, and will use her again if needed!”
“Crystal is AMAZING. We have an old, irritable chihuahua mix who doesn’t like other dogs very much and our sitter canceled last minute before our trip. Crystal took him at the last minute and loved him so well while we were gone. She sent pictures and updates and was so accommodating. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“My first time away from Babie🐕 (my dog) for more than a couple days and I was anxious, but Brianna took wonderful care of Babie and I knew she was comfortable right away and their dog Zeus was very playful with her, I don't think she wanted to come back! Brianna also kept me updated the entire time. Reliable and attentive. I’ll book again with them.”
“Brittany was wonderful. She kept me updated about Buddy. He had a good time with her. I would be happy to have Buddy stay with her again on my next trip. He got along with the other pups in the house and everything went smoothly.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 19 years. I've cared for three senior dogs of my own in the past, two who had chronic conditions. I have experience administering medication and providing special care. In addition, over the years, I've gained experience caring for the dogs of other owners. I'm retired and home full time. Your pet(s) will have all-day care. I'm fully devoted to caring for your pet(s). Your pet(s) will be pampered and spoiled as if he or she was one of my own. Your pet(s) will receive multiple potty breaks throughout the day. In addition, pet(s) will get daily play time in large fenced backyard and if requested, daily walks. I have a half an acre fenced backyard, so plenty of space for your pet(s) to run around and play. Clean dog beds, and if preferred for sleeping, crates with beds for all sizes. For the length of the stay, your pet(s) will be able to make himself or herself at home.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and regularly care for the pets of family and friends. I truly love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and give them the same care, attention, and affection I’d want for my own pets. After all, pets are family. My schedule is very flexible as a part time server and college student. I’m generally available every day before 4 PM, and I often have evening availability depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs and can accommodate most requests with advance notice. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress free environment. I have a very friendly dog who loves other animals and can provide a crate if needed. I follow each pet’s routine, respect their individual needs, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while their family is away.
“Trina was amazing with Kane! He got a nose bleed, while I was on vacation, and he was in her care. She immediately notified me that night and promptly took him 40 minutes away to his vet; which actually saved his life! The vet said he probably wouldn't have made it until his appointment that next Monday! Honestly,I thought it was probably like a human and no big deal. I was wrong. He was recovering from a few things(which she and the vet knew all about the situation) I'm glad I did talk to the vet prior since she had to take him in. I would trust Trina with any of my fur babies! She was amazing and honestly did save my dogs life. She had to make that 40-60 minute drive twice for us! She was a great choice and a God send. I almost left him with my 19 year old who didn't go. I'm SOOOO glad I didn't! Thank you Trina! You will Alessia be my dog sitter!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone, and we couldn't be happier. We received daily pictures, and she was great with our very hyper dog. We would definitely reccomend her to everyone, and will be using her again. Thanks”
“Ruth and her husband provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. They have great knowledge about dogs and offered a wonderful home away from home for my pup. Highly recommended.”
About: I have experience with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of playtime, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra care and comfort. I’m very attentive to routines and will stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to help reduce stress. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love being outside and spending time with animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing outside, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed by giving them lots of love, supervision, and a calm environment. I enjoy being outside, so walks and outdoor play are something I really enjoy doing with dogs.
“Christine and her family took wonderful care of my girl while I was out of town! She sent frequent photos and updates and was flexible when I needed to drop her off early. My dog had a blast with them!”
“Cynthia and her husband was amazing! They were able to take care of pur dog and ferrets last minute (with only a 5 minute warning if that 😅) and made them feel right at home. Our dog Molly and our ferrets get super stressed when we leave them home so we took them on vacation with us but we needed someone to take care of them while we did activities and Cynthia did not hesitate taking them- even on a Saturday. Molly went right to them with no problem and no hesitation- she fit right in and didn't seem stressed or sad at all when we got her back. Cynthia communicated very well and even sent pictures of Molly and our ferrets and they looked like they were right at home and happy as can be!!! Way better than the daycares that have at least 10 other dogs and usually stick the dogs in a concrete kennel most of the day. You can tell Cynthia and her husband loves animals and cares for them and the animals can sense that. I counld not thank them enough for making their schedule work last minute and for caring for my babies as their own!!!! 🩷”

69% of Decatur sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Decatur landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Decatur home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Decatur.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Decatur sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
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 TN 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
