“She took great care of my cat for about three weeks, kept me updated, and were flexible when I had to extend the booking on short notice. I really appreciated the help and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
About: I'm a huuuge pet lover! I have two cats of my own and also volunteer at my local animal shelter every week. Cleaning up poop, puke, and hairballs are all second nature to me haha! Rest assured your pet will be in great hands with me. :) I work from home 4x/week so my schedule is very flexible. I am often free any time of day (besides tuesdays) from 7am to overnights if needed. I'm flexible to all scheduling - just let me know! I do dog walks, dog feedings, cat feedings, and cat walks (if you are interested!) I can keep all pets company if you're just at work for the day or need a late-night stay.
About: I have owned and cared for pots of all types and kinds since I was a child, particularly cats and dogs. As an adult, I have owned three dogs and four cats and deeply enjoy the experience of being a pet parent myself. I have cared for, walked, fed, and watched overnight for many length of days many cats and dogs for my friends, family and professionally. I understand the nuances of what is required for individual pet care and how to follow directions carefully. I'm in excellent communicator and want to ensure that my pet parents that I work for are kept in the loop and feel comfortable with my service! I take special care to ensure that each individual pet is cared for in the way that they need and particularly to ensure that no animal is ever let out without being on the leash or let out at all if they are a cat. I genuinely enjoy playing with cats and dogs and making sure that they get the adequate exercise and stimulation that they need. I look forward to caring for your pet soon! Ps, I am very strong and have experience with walking large dogs, as powerlifting is a hobby of mine in my spare time! Since I work from home part-time, I have lots of flexibility and fluidity to care for someone's pet or meet a need at the last minute. I live in Central Connecticut which is very close to every County and I'm comfortable taking a drive if needed. I have an extremely flexible schedule between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. I would only be providing services in other people's homes to let them out or feed them daily or any kind of walking or playing services. In my own home, I currently have two cats who enjoy free reign of the home. We do also have a fenced in yard fully, but at this time I would not be offering that service in my own home.

“Steve was the absolute best! He was very accommodating to moving a scheduled day we had planned to another day and time. He did so well with both of my dogs and he was very attentive and sent us a lot of pictures of his time with them. We will happily welcome him back whenever!”
“Taylor was so wonderful to our two dogs while we were away for the evening. She was also kind enough to work with us on a last-minute schedule change. Our dogs loved her and she communicated with us often while visiting. We can’t wait to have her visit next month as well!”
“We needed a new caretaker for our cat and we are lucky to have found Alex. She is a caring person, she was authentically interested in understanding our cat’s preferences and habits. She took great care of our cat while we were away. I’d highly recommend Alex”
“Darya has done a great job taking care of our corgi puppy! She is always on time and gives a thorough daily update for her drop-in visits. We have appreciated how she follows our detailed instructions and is very responsive. We would definitely recommend Darya!”
“Victoria was great with Layla and Adonis. She arrived on time for each scheduled day and provided excellent care to the dogs. We truly appreciate that she was available for the days requested and plan to use her again in the future. Thanks so much Victoria!”
About: Since I was a small child I have been surrounded by dogs, cats and other pets. I’ve helped my parents raise two dogs over the years, including regular walks, feeding, mess clean-up, driving them to the vet, and lots of love and attention as I find that dogs need plenty! Additionally I currently work at a Petco as a Dog Trainer. I have experience giving dogs topical and oral medication as well as basic grooming and hygiene care. I have a passion for our beloved animal companions and can ensure I will take care of your furry friend’s needs with the utmost care and attention to detail. Currently, very open availability aside from Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I have training courses with Petco from 11 AM - 6 PM currently. I am available for weekends. I have a large backyard for lots of energetic romps in the grass with your fur babies! I also live in a quiet neighborhood with very little car traffic, perfect for daily walks. I also live only 3 minutes by car away from a lovely dog park. My dog Onyx is incredibly friendly, seldom ever barks and adores other dogs and people. She is a young ‘un at heart with lots of energy to spare and would love another playtime partner! I am also of course open to spending time in your home to care for your fur baby.
“Elizabeth was wonderful, our poochie loved her. She is very personable and is punctual. She sent loads of pictures daily, which I loved that. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Kailah has been great with my dogs! I have 2 rescues who are super nervous around new people. This was our 3rd time booking with Kailah, she has been super patient and they are starting to warm up to her. I would recommend Kailah and will definitely be using her services again.”

About: Hello Rover customers, I have taken care of pets since I was a child and have taken care of my family’s fur babies since my kids were small.

Lindsay is fantastic! She has been letting Marshall out for several weeks and she is dependable and flexible! I had a change of plans and she took care of marsh on short notice! He is so excited to see her and it seems like she still gives him time and effort!!! Highly recommend!!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike! I trust very few people with my 3 dogs — Barry (12), Fiona (3), and George (1) — because they all have completely different personalities and needs. Mike has been incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with each of them, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. I know they are in great hands when they’re with him. One of the things I appreciate most is how dependable and accommodating he is. Even with very last-minute requests, Mike always does his best to fit me into his schedule. He is also fantastic with communication. He keeps me updated before, during, and after visits, and always sends pictures of the pups on walks and playing. I highly recommend Mike, my dogs love him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Marion is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. 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 2,762 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Marion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marion. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
