“Bruno had a great time with Leslie and her family. He has slept most of the day today. He came home worn out. A good sign that he enjoyed playing with their pets. Thank You for taking such great care of my buddy!”
“Mary and her family were perfect! They made our Lola feel at home and comfortable, which says a lot for Lola in particular. Trust them fully, highly recommend them and definitely plan on reaching out next time we are in town.”
“Angelica watched our goldendoodle baby, Cleo, for about 11 days while we were away. Cleo came home happy & well cared for, and I felt she was in good hands. Angelica was kind, responsive whenever I reached out, and clearly gave Cleo lots of love and attention. We appreciate the care she provided to our angel while we were traveling!”
“Michele is the absolute best! She provides ample communication and updates with photos to show our dog throughout her stay. Dia has a blast and always looks happy and relaxed. ☺️ She is our go to dog sitter!”
“Michele was wonderful!! She watched our two pets all weekend while we went out of town. They were so happy, and they had so much fun playing with the other dogs. They were exhausted when we got them home and everyone is enjoying some peace and quiet. Thanks Michele!! 🙏🐶”
“Amazing vacation for us and Rusty! He loved playing with her kids and didn't even miss us! Great service and daily updates with pictures of our happy dog. Will most definitely use her again. ”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pups! I always feel completely confident that they’re in good hands with you. It’s such a relief knowing they’re being loved and cared for like family while we’re away.”
“Esequias and Lisa are wonderful. Our fur baby is 3 years old and had never been with anyone but us. They alleviated any fears we had. Esequias came to our house to meet us and Hook, then we dropped him at their house for a few hours to see how he would adjust. They even picked him up when it was time for us to leave on our trip. They sent pics while we were gone. They treated him like one of their own. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Isaac was amazing! He was very responsive and sent pictures of our pup throughout our trip. He played with him often and even took him on walks. We even had some flight issues and he was very reassuring and flexible with us. Our dog had such an amazing time and came back one sleepy, happy boy! Will definitely be working with them again!”
“Courtney and her family were SO good with our girl! They welcomed her right into the family and took excellent care of her! I have no doubt we will use Courtney again to care for Ellie Mae.”
“A very good experience. Bridgette was wonderful with our two small dogs. She kept them for a week and she treated them like they were her own. She kept us updated with pictures and videos daily. Bridgette is very professional and friendly, and easy to work with. I would recommend her to keep your pets without worrying about them daily. Florence Walter”
“I highly recommend her! I had to travel out of state for an entire week, and this was a very last-minute booking that I made just a day before leaving. She was incredibly accommodating and helped me out when I was in a difficult spot. Throughout the week, she sent me daily photos and updates of my dogs, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was such a relief to see them happy, comfortable, and having a great time. She also has a huge backyard where the dogs could run around and play. Every photo she sent showed them enjoying themselves, and they always looked happy and well cared for. She is kind, reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Leaving your pets behind can be stressful, but she made the entire experience easy and worry-free. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”
“Melissa and Roy took tremendous care of Ellie! We could tell that they loved dogs and would take Ellie in like their own. They had a crate, a bed, all the toys imaginable, making Ellie's stay a seamless transition from her own home. I highly recommend them and Ellie looks very forward to her next stay with them!”
About: I have been around animals since I can remember. I’m very good at training puppies. I can give baths, clip nails, clean ears, brush teeth and love on them all day 🥹. I’m currently a stay at home wife, as well as my job is online so I’m home all day with critters 🤍. I’m used to having to watch a lot of animals. I have a 1 acre property fenced in with two other dogs that love playing, I keep a kiddie pool out for the dogs who love water, I have a 12 dog kennel so if you preferred your dog to be alone, my other two dogs are trained and comfortable in the kennel so your baby can play alone 🤍. I have a bunch of toys, and treats. I know how to wash, clip nails, train, clean ears, brush teeth. I had a dog with many medical issues so I know how to administer ointment to a sensitive area.
“Diana took great care of my Dog Wooly and was very understanding when my car broke down out of town and I couldn’t come to get Wooly as scheduled. She updated me daily on my dog’s condition and activities and gave him his meds as I instructed. Wooly will definitely love to stay with Diana again 🐾”
“Erika is amazing! She has been watching our dog at a consistent basis now 😂 our dog loves going to her home. I recommend her 5/5 due to the care she has given our dog and treating him like her own.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 TX 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.
