“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.”
“Our original dog sitter had to cancel because of a family emergency. Our previous Rover sitter was already booked. My husband and I engaged with Rover to find another sitter. We found Becky and John and arranged a meeting. Becky and John seemed to be a very loving and caring couple. They let us know their history with their own pets and we felt it would be a great match. Luna loved their yard and seemed very comfortable with both Becky and John. Our plans changed a little and they were both very accommodating. Becky and John let us know daily on how Luna was progressing. The pictures and notes were very sweet. We had a great vacation with a great feeling that Luna was well cared for and spoilt. On our return we picked up Luna to find that she was treated like she lived there on a daily basis. Luna even was split between laps because she was saying "I love you all". I would highly recommend that your pet stay here with lots of LOVE and CARE! Thanks Becky and John for your excellent care of Luna while we were on vacation. Definitely made me feel better for leaving her behind.”
“Sabrina was fantastic! She watched our Sami girl while we we’re out of the country for our destination wedding and even though my messages didn’t always go through she sent updates regularly with photos and you could just tell how comfortable Sami was in her home. I only want to use Sabrina moving forward for any future travel plans!”
“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.”
“Bridgette was so wonderful to our sweet pup she didn’t want to leave lol! She did a great job keeping us informed while we were away and loved our girl like it was her own I highly recommend her to trust and love your pet while you are away!”
“Susan was INCREDIBLE! Our dogs were so loved and taken care of with her and her family. I had zero worries about our babies when they were at her house. She checked in daily and sent pictures of what they were up to! Definitely will rebook with her whenever we leave town!! If you’re wondering if should book with her, DO IT!”
“Our dog loves them so much! He got so excited when he arrived at their house again after they watched him from our past trip. They send lots of photo updates and play with him! They also sent him home with the sweetest homemade fall bandana. Will use again!”
“Excellent family to leave your dog. They not only took excellent care for Luna but they loved her all the time she was there. Luna was born deaf and at times can be a very nervous dog. Not only she relaxed the same day there but became friends with the other dogs in the house. I highly recommend Darren!”
“Ann was great! Ann sent pictures and videos 2-3 times a day, so there was no worry if my fur baby was okay. Queenie loves to play and explore and Queenie got to do all of that and some! I am looking forward to having Queenie stay again when I travel because it’s nice to be at peace when you are away. I plan on setting up another booking in August. When it was time to pick up queenie, everything was packed and ready to go. Thank you for being so sweet to my fur baby!!”
“Gayle, thank you for taking care of our little guy in a pinch. Really appreciate all the care and love you gave him especially the trips over to the doggie park. Sounds like he really enjoyed himself.”
“Gina and her family gave our dog, Maya, such a great home over the week she was in their home. I needed a sitter kind of last minute, and was having a hard time finding someone responsive in my area. Gina responded quickly. I am so grateful because Maya was loved and spoiled. Gina sent pics and updates daily and treated Maya as her own. Not to mention, her dog was very friendly and gave mine a fun playmate! Wonderful family!”
“Jennifer watched my 14 year old pup and I was very pleased with the care he received. I could tell he was well tended to while I was away. She is obviously an experienced sitter and cares for the animals as her own. I will be using Jennifer again”
“This was my first time to use a "babysitter" for my dog. I was nervous and uneasy about it because I've never been away from my dog since I got him. I'm glad I found Hugh. He is very experienced with dog care, and has a great home set up. He provided daily updates, and responded quickly to any questions or suggestions.”
“It was obvious that Ashley loves dogs and she loved my 2 bandits. She got to know them and their traits rather quickly. I can recommend Ashley to give the best of care and attention to anyone's pet.”
“Amelia was awesome with our senior dog! This was my first time leaving Rahja with a stranger so I was really nervous! We took her over to Amelia's house for a meet & greet and she felt so comfortable that she hopped right up on her couch. She was diligent in sending text updates & photos every day. She always replied anytime I would ask a question in a timely manner. Rahja is old & doesn't do well with change, but Amelia made it easier & I knew my baby was being well cared for. Will definitely go back the next time we go out of town!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Decatur is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 745 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Decatur. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Decatur can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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.
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 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.
