I have two small dogs. One of them is super sweet and everybody’s favorite. The other is standoffish and identifies as Houdini. They both did very well staying for almost a week at Katrina‘s house. When they came back home they were calm, with no signs of anxiety. I have had to use dog sitters three times this year already. This was the first time with Katrina. They did much better with her. She seems to genuinely enjoy having them stay with her.

Sana has been a great hostess/sitter for Lucy. She sends frequent updates and pictures. Also asked great questions to get to know Lucy better. Lucy is an aloof cat who is slow to warm up to people, however she allowed Sana to an approach and pet her almost immediately. She has gone the extra mile to make sure Lucy recieved her medication

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.

Paul and his son did a 10 star job of watching my Rowdy, a Golden Retriever. Rowdy is over 10 years old in human years which makes him over 70 in dog years. In all that time, this is actually the first time I’ve ever boarded Rowdy. That alone tells you how protected he is-rarely is he out of my sight. I am so thankful that I chose Paul to watch over Rowdy. I hit a home run for sure! Paul was so thorough and heartfelt in his care of Rowdy, for he kept me in the loop, he touched base with me through the app consistently, and sent me pictures of Rowdy, at play and during movie time. I could not have been paired up with anybody more well equipped than Paul and his family. It touched my heart when Paul mentioned that he recently lost his pet companion of many years, and that this time with Rowdy helped fill the void and gave him that sense of companionship once again. Paul is the real deal and he went above and beyond in his caretaking of my best friend, and he did it with compassion and a whole lot of heart. One couldn’t ask for a more genuine caretaker for their pet! Thank you Paul for helping me in this situation, you are most appreciated!

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.

We had the best experience with Trish! She watched our two goldendoodles for two weeks while we were away. She sent several photo updates everyday - of them getting snuggles, playing fetch in their backyard, getting yummy homemade treats - which showed that she was taking such great care of our pups. Trish even brushed our dogs routinely which we didn’t ask her to do! She was so warm, welcoming, responsive, and trustworthy from the first message to the final pickup. She clearly adores dogs, well definitely book her again and we would strongly recommend her to anyone!

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!!!!

About: I have 15 years of experience working as a veterinary technician, along with a lifetime of caring for and loving animals. My veterinary background has given me extensive hands on experience with dogs, cats and other animal species of all ages, breeds, personalities, and care needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra attention and special care with medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health and following detailed care instructions. Most importantly I work FULLY REMOTE so I do not leave home most generally unless to take my dog for a walk, visit the farm for open running and space, or short errands. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I'll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved and well cared for while you're away. I am so happy to provide you with regular photo/video updates so you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your furry family member. I do not use crates/kennels in any way unless that is your preference or training method. I own a dog as pictured whom is very friendly and used to having playdates with all pet breeds and species and is very well trained, gentle and calm and loving to others of all ages and seems to change her disposition and energy level based on how playful or age wise the other animal is. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I work remotely full time. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship they need. I’m available for overnight boarding as well as daytime care and can accommodate many weekday and weekend stays. I can fulfill long multi week stays if need. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. With 15 years of experience as a veterinary technician, your pet’s safety and well-being are extremely important to me. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets and pets requiring medications or additional care. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for like one of my own.

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 Boarding - Marion

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Marion on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 195 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Marion. About 90% 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.
