“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++”
“Shawna and Hannah were wonderful sitters for our dog. They kept her entertained and she made herself right at home with them. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Will definitely be booking with them again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for communicative and reliable sitters.”
“So happy to have left our pup with Tiffany and her family! He made himself at home and had a much better time than at a boarding kennel. Will absolutely rebook again!”
“My senior Frenchie has anxiety issues and socialization issues (former breeding dog), so naturally I was very nervous bringing her to a stranger. I needed overnight boarding, and didn't know if it would be possible with her anxiety. As soon as I met Kat I was put at ease, from the pictures she sent me I can tell she took to her very quickly. Followed all instructions to a tee, and gave me helpful suggestions on walking her. Every interaction was professional, courteous, and warm. 10/10 would highly recommend!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 senior dogs. She provided daily updates for us. She was also very accommodating when I came to our plans changing last minute. Thank you so much.”
“Our dogs had a lovely stay! We really appreciated the updates the first 24 hours as it was the first time we had left our dogs behind while traveling. We were greatly reassured which allowed us to enjoy our trip better.”
“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!”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“Jason and his girlfriend took great care of our 8 month old puppy Ruby. His dog and Ruby played well together and he was thoughtful about how to take care of Ruby. He took her to the dog park a couple times which was appreciated! Thank you Jason we will rebook soon.”
“We loved Debra. & oh my, so did our Buddy Bear. She spoiled him rotten. We will definitely be using Debra again. We highly recommend her. She has a sweet, loving & cozy home. Your pups will love her back yard. ❤️❤️❤️🐶”
“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.”
“The dogs loved their stay with Ali N. - a very dog-friendly environment and positive vibe and you could tell how happy the dogs were from the photos. Very good communication and a real dog lover.”
“Ashleigh was so so caring and conscientious in her care of our slightly grumpy and annoyed older dog! Definitely the best possible care out there! We will definitely be back. :)”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
