Mallory was so great! We had a few hiccups with food and forgot to provide some key information, but she was so patient with us and willing to roll with the punches.

I have used Jeannette several times to care for my 4 kitties when I am away. They have gotten to know her and even my shy girl comes out to play now. I appreciate that She leaves things clean. Trash with litter and catfood cans bagged and out to trash can. Will use her again and recommend to others.

About: Experienced pet sitter and proud pet parent to a corgi and two cats! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including those who need extra patience with potty training or medication administration. As a young professional with plenty of free time before starting my full-time job, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, attentive care. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they’re most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, or overnight house sitting, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and personalized attention while you’re away.

About: I've had two medium sized dogs since I was little. I helped care and train them their whole lives. They've both had health and behavioral issues that I've helped my family navigate (potty issues, food issues, more comfy spots). I currently have three cats of my own. I have had all of them since they were 8/9 weeks old. My two older cats are distinguished gentlemen. They have no problems and are very spoiled. My young kitten is already potty trained and gets along with others well. I currently work full time M-F in the 7 45 to 5 range. I only work ths mornings of a few saturdays. I am lucky to have an hour long lunch, so I could easily check on a pet 2/3 times a day even during the week. On the weekends I'm more open. I would be open to caring for pet in my home, but it would depend on their behavior. By this I mean I dont want your pet to be more stressed/upset with you gone because they aren't used to other peoples homes. I also have three cats, so theyd at least have to be comfortable with them being in another room nearby. However, caring for your pet in your home I'd be very respectful of their routines and likes/dislikes. I'd love to play with them or go for a walk, and make sure they have all other necessities ready for them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to giant dogs like Great Pyrenees. I also have a 13-year-old tabby cat, so I understand the importance of patient, attentive care and keeping pets comfortable in their routines. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Currently have an open schedule and can pet sit any day/time! I am also available most weekends and weekdays for boarding, walking, and/or at home visits. I have a enclosed 2nd floor balcony, and plenty of nearby walking trails that I am happy to take your pup out on. Also flexible and can come to you.

About: Your boy/girl is probably not going to like that you are going away, but I know how to minimize their discomfort. I am a friendly young man, very well versed in animal behavior with plenty of time and energy to devote to keeping your dog happy. I have 1 medium sized dog. My pet is treated like family and I appreciate their company very much. I will appreciate your dog’s company as well. I work 1 block from home. Your dog can hang in the house, in their crate or in a partitioned room I have lots of options for all sorts of temperaments and training. I walk my dog when I wake up, then sometimes a short walk after work. Dogs are welcome to roam the house (1500sq ft). When outside I have a tightly fenced in yard, attached is a newly constructed 2 car garage (empty) with concrete floors perfect for cooling off on hot days. Water is always plentiful and refreshed often whether inside or outside. I am available around the clock, and am never far from home. I rarely go out and when at work I use a webcam to watch the dogs. Animals are visited every 3 hours on days that I work. I always send photos when the dogs go walking as proof of service; I also send photos periodically as most owners enjoy this. Fenced in yard, plenty of room; I have 3 XL animal crates for visitor’s use if preferred. I also have AirTags which I put on my guests during their stay for added safety.

Ashlyn is super reliable. She is great w/my fur babies. She does a great job giving all sorts of meds and always goes above and beyond to make sure my place looks just like I left it. It’s so nice to come back after a long trip and just step right back into your life. Thanks Ashlyn (and hubby) for keeping Louis and Cricket safe!

About: I’ve spent several years caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk their pups or to just drop in for a visit! I’m comfortable walking high-energy dogs as well as senior pups who prefer a slower pace and extra patience. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and routine, including leash, manners, feeding schedules, and any special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every walk is both fun and stress-free! I treat every dog like my own-lots of positive reinforcement, praise and care. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pup is in good hands! I work full time at the Marion Police Department and I’m in the Army Reserves-currently my days off are Friday-Sunday. If you need help during the week, we can discuss that and see if I can squeeze you in! During walks and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while sticking closely to their normal routine. I treat every pet with patience and respect, and I provide updates after each visit so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

Amanda did a decent job for a long 2 week, 2 cat watching job for me. I will use her again if I need someone to watch my cats in the future. Try her services out for a day and just describe what you want / expect for the stop in visit. Then modify as needed. I never used rover before so the whole thing was new to me.

About: Hi I’m Madison! I love animals and have dog sat on multiple occasions for elderly and young dogs. I’d love to take care of your animals in exchange for the happiness I’ll get from walking and interacting with them! I have pretty open availability at the moment. I can pop in a couple times during the week or stay longer if needed. I do have animals at home so extended days will need to be talked about. I have a large yard that I can take your dog out to play in! There is also a park with a bunch of trails nearby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Marion on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 40 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Marion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
