“Total rock star sitter - could not recommend Kari any more highly! This was only Sadie‘s second time boarding in someone else’s home without me…I learned from my first experience that Sadie does not do great with other pets in the house… and, even though Kari’s was pet free, I was still trepidatious about trying another boarding situation in a strange (to my pup) home. My fears were immediately alleviated upon meeting and seeing Kari interact with Sadie and how she let Sadie explore around her wonderful home. Physical relief was all I felt when I left Sadie with her. Kari kept me informed each day with reports and pictures of what she and Sadie were doing, and I was never worried that Sadie was anxious or anything but completely comfortable. Seriously will make sure that Kari is available anytime I plan anything where I need to leave Sadie with someone for any reason! I think my girl had a great time and definitely was very well cared for. Cannot thank Kari and her family enough! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: We’ve cared for dogs on and off for the past 14 years and have always had a genuine love for animals. We have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and routines. As a couple, we’re able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, and overnight care. Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. We are generally busy during the weekdays, but we have plenty of availability from Friday through Monday. This makes us especially flexible for weekend boarding, extended stays, and overnight care. We’re happy to work around your dog’s normal routine and provide the consistency, attention, and care they’re used to while you’re away. We want every dog staying with us to feel like they’re at a second home. We provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities for walks and relaxation. We will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and other preferences. We also understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so we’re happy to provide updates and photos throughout their stay

“Jen and Jon were wonderful sitters for our dog. This was the first time leaving her with a sitter and they made me feel very comfortable. I could tell Tootsie was well taken care of and receiving lots of love with each daily update. Drop off and pick up was easy and Jen responded quickly to any questions I had.”

“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”

“Maria and her family took wonderful care of our 4 mo old golden. Frequent updates and pictures. Played all day with the other pups. Perfect set up! Thank you Maria!”

“Kevin was amazing! This was our first time leaving Teddy with Kevin and he made it very easy to feel comfortable. He sent pictures of Teddy throughout the day and a progress report. Thank you Kevin!”

“Ruby had a great time at Caitlin B.’s house. She got along well with Caitlin’s dogs and loved hanging out with her sons. Caitlin is a very special woman who is kind and loving and is so easy to work with. It was a pleasure to meet her and trust Ruby to her care.”

“Kathy treated our Pete like one of her own, we felt very comfortable knowing he was happy and being well taken care of. We will definitely leave Pete with Kathy again, we highly recommend her!”

“Casey, Phil and their dog Chloe were absolutely fantastic with Penny, our 6 month old golden retriever puppy, for a week long stay. They sent us daily pictures and updates about how Penny was doing which really took the stress out of leaving her for the first time. They were patient at our meet and greet ahead of her stay and made sure to answer any and all of our questions. Would highly recommend them and we will absolutely be using them again in the future!”

About: I have been a pet owner and or caregiver since I was a child. I have experience with a variety pets from young and energetic to seniors. I understand the needs of each and can provide the necessary care based on age, energy level, and personality. I am self-employed and can easily integrate pet care into my day to day responsibilities. I enjoy taking long and frequent walks with pets and also enjoy down time relaxing with pets who prefer quiet company. I live in close proximity to the St. Joe Walkway/Palm Coast Linear Park which provides numerous walking paths. I am neat, clean, and respectful of others homes and preferences with regard to caregivers entering their spaces.
“Your dog is in great hands with Malerie and her family. They treated my pup as she was thier own. She provided photos and videos the whole time. I would use her again in a heart beat”

“Cheyenne was amazing! My boy Leroy is a classic Velcro dog. He thinks he’s a person, so he always has to be with his human pack. Cheyenne made sure he was included in everything, and sent the cutest pictures that both cracked me up and made me miss him even more while I was gone. I felt so relieved and comfortable, knowing she was taking such good care of him. Even though we just met her, they totally clicked on their meet and greet so I knew my baby boy was in good hands.”

“My dog Max had the best time at Jeremy and Rui’s house. They answered any questions I had since it was my first time doing boarding and they made sure to check in with me everyday with videos and let me know how he was doing. I would definitely have max stay with them again. I recommend it”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a very young age I love all different kinds of dogs and cats. I have a nice set up in my home and I have a fenced in yard so it feels a lot safer and private :) I have a quiet neighborhood and lots of places to walk ! I always provide lots of photos and constant communication with pet owners. I also helped my mom board dogs growing up so I also have experience in that as well. I’m currently in school and have mostly online classes so I’m pretty flexible. I also have a car that I can transport if need be. I love walking them and letting them play outside in the fenced yard! I have a dog proofed home:) I’m open to all requests, more communication the better !
“Ciara was incredible with my dog and truly went above and beyond. She kept him active with regular walks and made sure he was entertained with toys and attention throughout the stay. She was super communicative the entire time, giving me updates and keeping me completely in the loop, which gave me a ton of peace of mind. I could tell she genuinely cared for him as if he were her own. Exceptional experience, would absolutely book again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marion
Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!

Emily was absolutely incredible watching my dog this weekend. From the moment I dropped him off, she made everything feel easy and stress free. She was warm, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with animals. She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages that showed how happy and comfortable he was. It meant so much knowing he was in such good hands. He came home relaxed, well cared for, and clearly loved his time with her. If you’re looking for someone truly trustworthy, caring, and reliable, Emily is the one. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Marion home-away-from-home, 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.
