I've always done my own. Rug Doctors can be hit or miss (if you get one that's been serviced properly), but it's amazing what they take out.
For ~$200 you can get a decent Bissel from Costco, but they won't get quite as hot.
I'm sure the professional jobs are better, but between a Dyson and a half-decent rental/purchase, I've been content with doing my own. Worse comes to worse, rent one and try a room. See how much you get out. If you're happy with it, great. If not you're only out a few bucks.
