Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.

About: We love dogs and your little one will receive lots of love and one on one attention as we welcome him or her into our home. Our little Ronnie loves to play with dogs his own size or smaller. We don't have a fenced in yard, which means we will always be playing with and alongside your dog keeping him or her safe and happy and comfortable. We love to walk your dog also so he or she will get plenty of potty breaks and time to smell and get to know our neighborhood! We only care for one dog at a time, besides our own little guy Ronnie... so the two will become best friends! Faye is a full-time stay at home dog mom and my husband Rob helps take over dog care responsibilities after and before he goes to work. We make it a team effort so your dog will always have his or her needs met and get maximum love and attention. Safety comes first with your pet. We have a home that is safe and perfect for your little dog. We will welcome them into our family and treat them gently and with compassion... realizing that it's tough being away from your owners for a few days. We will love your puppy as much as we love our own Ronnie!

Paul and his son did an amazing job caring for my dog! I felt like we were long lost friends by the time I left when I dropped Kitty off because they are so personable and kind! Paul sent videos and kept in contact with me throughout her stay. Paul went above and beyond by making Kitty some homemade food when I miscalculated and she ran out. I would hands down recommend Paul to anyone looking for a sitter that pays individual attention to your fur baby!

This was our first time “boarding” our dogs, and though we don’t have much to compare to, we are very pleased with and appreciative of the care provided. From the moment we met them I knew we could trust them to give our pups the care we hoped for while we were on vacation. Our dogs are so lucky! Jasper and Copper had as good a vacation as we did! They seemed happy and we loved getting updates on how things were going. Thank you for such genuine top notch care.

Trish has been fantastic with my dogs! She sent me frequent updates and images/videos of my dogs throughout their stay with her. She checked with me on anything she's not sure about regarding my dogs' diet needs and habits. I honestly cannot imagine a better sitter than Trish! I have full trust in their family taking care of my dogs.

I can't recommend Olivia enough! We were in town for a graduation and our Airbnb didn't allow pets. I needed to secure a boarding place for my little maltipoo ASAP. Olivia accommodated my schedule and need so well. I appreciated her taking my last minute request and keeping me updated with pictures/videos. My furbaby had a great time and my mind was at ease. You can count on Olivia!

My dog Dash loves going over to Rachel’s house to play with her dogs and of course to go see Rachel! She always makes sure that Dash gets enough play time and goes on plenty of walks. Dash also loves car rides and gets to tag along whenever she has quick errands to run, and he often gets spoiled with pup cups through the Starbucks drive-thru. With my permission and built trust, I have allowed her to take him anywhere to run errands, visit friends, and family. Thank you so much Rachel for taking care of Dash!

Katrina and her family were wonderful! This was the first time my dog has stayed with someone other than family. He was pretty nervous at first and I could tell he didn’t want me to leave but they made him feel at home. Katrina sent me a picture to let me know he calmed down and warmed up to their house. I felt so relaxed knowing he was at a loving home. I definitely recommend Katrina and will definitely use her again when we leave town.

About: I am looking forward to meeting and caring for your fur babies. Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have! Generally, my pup gets some play time and exercise in the morning before work, during lunch, and then after work. During work hours, they hang with me in my office playing with toys, enjoying a chewy treat or just cuddling and napping while I work. I have a friendly dog who loves to play (he can be a little vocal - it's the terrier in him) and will be happy to give your fur baby some company. I allow my dog on the furniture and beds, but if you prefer not to, I am happy to adjust per your need. Let me know if your dogs need a specific routine or have play preferences. My main goal is to make sure their time with me is stress-free and they miss you as little as possible.

About: Welcome to BarkBnB, where pups come to stay, play, and feel right at home. 🐾 I’m a work from home dog lover and proud pet parent to my two dogs, Onix and Eevee. Yes, there’s a little Pokémon energy in this house, playful, friendly, and always ready for the next adventure. When your dog stays with us, they won’t be stuck waiting around for attention. Since I work from home, they’ll have companionship throughout the day, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of love. I want every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and included like part of the family. We also have a large fenced-in yard that’s perfect for zoomies, fetch, sniffing, sunbathing, and getting out that extra energy. Whether your dog is an active adventurer or a professional couch cuddler, I’ll match their vibe and make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they need. You’ll also never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I send daily pictures and videos so you can see the tail wags, playtime, nap spots, and happy moments for yourself. What your dog can expect: 🐾 A safe, welcoming home environment 🎾 Plenty of exercise and supervised outdoor play 🏡 A large fenced-in yard for fun and freedom 📸 Daily photo and video updates 💻 Constant attention from a work from home sitter 🐶 Friendly dog company with Onix and Eevee 💤 Cozy overnight care that feels like a staycation Think of it as a doggy vacation, with more belly rubs, better snacks, and a lot less stress for you. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine because I’m home, available, and already living a dog-friendly lifestyle. My schedule gives me the flexibility to build the day around the pets in my care — whether that means extra potty breaks, play sessions in the yard, walks, feeding schedules, cuddle time, or just being nearby so they feel settled and secure. I’m not someone who squeezes pet care in around a busy day away from home. It’s part of the rhythm here. Dogs get attention throughout the day, plenty of chances to burn off energy, and a calm home environment where they can relax between playtime. I also make updates part of the routine, so owners can expect daily pictures and videos that show how their pet is doing, not just a quick “everything is fine.” My goal is to make each stay feel easy, active, safe, and reassuring from drop-off to pick-up. treat every pet like family and focus on creating a calm, comfortable experience tailored to their personality and routine. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. Between supervised outdoor time in the large fenced yard, walks, play, enrichment activities, and downtime, I aim to make their stay feel safe, fun, and low-stress. I also know how important communication is while you’re away, so I send regular photo and video updates to keep owners connected and reassured.

Stacy did an AWESOME job with my 1 year old (LARGE) dog, Jemma. She worked with her on commands that we'd been working on and gave her lots of love! She sent pictures every day and was very easy to work with. She is great with animals and was able to watch Jemma for a week while I was travelling - what a life saver she is!!!!

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Marion

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 203 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Marion. About 92% of Marion sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
