“We have used Myle several times now to watch our dog Frankie and are very pleased. Frankie fits right in with her home environment and gets along well with her dogs. She spends a lot of time playing tug and fetch with him and takes him out for many walks. Frankie is well cared for and Myle posts lots of pictures of him to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend Myle!!!”
“Ming was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be a repeat customer. Ming was responsive, provided daily pictures and videos and took great care of our pup. He was prompt, easy to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. THANK YOU!!!”
“Shawna and her partner, Hannah, did an amazing job watching my dogs! They drove to pick them up/drop them off and kept them at their house over a long weekend. I have a senior rescue dog who can be skeptical of new people, but he warmed right up to Shawna and Hannah. He enjoyed all the cuddles, special toys, and looking out their big windows! I also have an 8 month old puppy who made herself right at home. Shawna and Hannah were super understanding of all my pups’ quirks and made them feel so loved with walks, treats, and lots of opportunities for cuddles. I received several pictures and videos each day. Shawna and Hannah responded super quick to any messages I sent and were attentive to all of our needs! I highly recommend booking with Shawna!!”
“Fantastic place to board you’re dog, we brought our dog Panda for the Memorial Day weekend and she had lots of space to run and play with other dogs but also had an area to be by herself if she wanted. Updates and photos were sent regularly throughout the weekend. Would absolutely take Panda back!! A++”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our dogs have only been left with friends and family before. Steve was absolutely AMAZING with our two little dogs. He was very cognizant of their needs and showed them patience and kindness as they warmed up to him. The moment I dropped them off I walked away with a true sense of peace and never worried once about them while they were in his care. He sent many photos and updates each day through out their stay, including each morning with an update of how their night went. Typically when we leave them with others, family and friends they know, they won’t eat for the first day or two, but with Steve they both ate right away, which let me know they felt comfortable. I highly recommend Steve and without a doubt will book with him again.”
“Kat was great!! Reliable, super friendly, obviously loves dogs, sent me photos during the stay, and was understanding about my requests (i.e. no dog parks). I definitely hope she’s available next time I need a dog sitter!!!”
“Tiffany, thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Windsir as always!! It truly means a lot to know he is in such kind and attentive hands. Your patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals really shows, and it makes all the difference. Windsor was happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. I’m so grateful. Thank you again for treating him like one of your own! 🐾”
“We are beyond grateful for Amanda’s care with Kenny. She treated him as if he was her own and you could see from the video and picture sent, he felt at home. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for more.”
“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”
“Nathan was very good with my dogs. He responded quickly to all my messages and sent plenty of pics / updates about them during the stay. I would definitely recommend him to others.”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Jason did a wonderful job caring for my puppy! He was quick at responding to any questions I had prior to the stay, and sent photo and text updates during the stay. My puppy had a great time and I would have her stay with Jason again.”
“Debra was wonderful with my Dezzie girl. She made her feel right at home and sent frequent updates . She was exactly what we hoping for and more. We are looking forward to many more visits with Debra in the future.”
“Obie was well taken care of and he seemed to have a good time, I say Aurora has a great understanding of animal handling. She took him on short notice, I would recommend her expertise to anyone who asks.”
“Ali & James were so great with our puppy! He got to interact with their 2 dogs all the time so it was like a vacation for my dog too. They promptly sent photos and videos, room our dog for walks and also had a small pool session with other dogs as well. All in all my dog had a blast. Would definitely return to them next time!”
“Ashley was absolutely great! She was able to board my pup last minute, and he had the best time! She shared pictures each day and communicated how he was doing. I would definitely recommend Ashley!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marion
We did a meet and greet to see if our dog was a good fit for them and it was! They provided daily updates of pictures, videos, and informative descriptions of what our dog did and overall performance. They were responsive and open in communication. Would recommend to anyone!
Pamela and her husband were the best! Pixel bonded immediately when we had a meet and greet to get to know each other. She kept us abreast with pictures during the time Pixel stayed. We could not have been happier or more comfortable with our choice. We will definitely use them again if we need someone to care for Pixel.
Everything went well with us and our dog Honey. We received regular updates as promised, and the pictures showed our happy friend well cared for. Videos showed she was having fun with other dogs—which has improved Honey’s behavior when we encounter other dogs on our nightly walk. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Amanda again.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Marion on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 197 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Marion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Marion 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 Marion 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 Marion 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 Marion.
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 Marion 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 IA 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.
