“Jen is so welcoming and makes you feel good knowing she'll love your fur baby the same as you do. She even gets up super early with ours bc he's used to our schedule. She's a gem I've used her 2xs now and will continue.”
“I love my puppies more than anything, so naturally I don't trust just anyone to care for them. So I panicked when I had to go to a convention in Las Vegas. That's when a friend recommended Rover. Thankfully, out of the multitude of people on Rover, I found Emily. She, and her husband, have been truly wonderful in every respect. They took excellent care of my puppies, fed them on time, took them on walks, have them plenty of toys and stimulation, and sent amazing pics regularly. I couldn't ask for better people to watch my dogs. I'll certainly be working with them again for my dog watching needs. Thank you very much for everything Emily!”
“Kristi has been incredible! This is my second time using her to watch my dog. She sends updates and pictures and keeps you involved while away. She's been extremely flexible and easy to work with. My plans changed and needed her to watch my dog extra, she did it without hesitation. What a blessing! I'm not in columbus often, but when I need a sitter, she is my top choice. Book with her and you will not be disappointed!”
“Monica was really great with my Shiloh. She made sure to send me lots of photos and it looks like Shiloh had such a great time. She's super sweet and kind. I felt really relieved that Shiloh had such a great time.”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Eido started to get excited in the car the closer we got to Tina's house. I couldn't believe he remembered since he hadn't been to her home since last year! Tina is awesome and loving! Eido was well cared for and slept almost all of the next day from all of the fun. We love Tina!”
“Maria was so great! We could really tell she prioritized making sure our Mr. Brown had a wonderful time! We will definitely be using her again for future boarding needs!”
“She was absolutely wonderful with my pup! He is a special needs pup and she took wonderful care of him. He took to her right away and I felt very assured that he was well taken care of and loved. Highly recommend her!”
About: My love of animals led to my passion for taking care of them. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician. I graduated from CSCC Veterinary Technology program in 2021. I work at a vet clinic, so I've learned the signs of a happy pet and a pet in distress. This makes me the perfect person in any situation involving your beloved fur baby. Besides providing a copious amount of loving, I can give cats/dogs their medication including pills, liquid and insulin. If there is an emergency, I can drive them immediately to your Veterinary or Emergency Hospital. With the few years of being in the Veterinary field, I've given plenty of baths, nail trims, ear cleanings, and medications. All of which I can provide for you. In the clinic setting, I was in charge of vaccines, putting patients under anesthesia and monitoring them. I've drawn blood, performed dentals, taken X-rays and cleaned wounds. I feel that all of this information will give your mind ease that your pets will be completely safe in my care. I'm currently working at a dermatology vet clinic Monday thru Thursday but, I’d like to help with your fur babies after my shift and/or on my days off. I have a wonderful 13 year old daughter that goes to Delaware Schools that likes to come with me to help (we ask your permission first). When taking care of your pets, I will follow your feeding schedule and instructions along with refilling their water bowl as needed. I'll provide exercise and playtime that will include walks, fetch and toys. I can administer any medications needed and keep track of both times and dosage. Bathing and grooming your pets can be a part of the care as well. If you have a cat, I can clean and/or change the litter box. Not only will I give them so much love and companionship, but I will also monitor for unusual behavior, signs of illness, and changes in appetite or bathroom habits. I will keep them safe from anything potentially harmful. I would love to send updates and pictures of your fur babies whenever you'd like. If there happens to be an emergency, I will call you immediately and drive them to your veterinarian or closest emergency hospital. Lastly, I will lock up the house securely after each visit and follow any security measures that are in place.
“I booked her for a second time for doggy sitting with my pup and he absolutely lost it seeing her again, I’ve never seen him so excited!! Such a relief to know your pup is happy to go with your sitter, already her booked again for next time ☺️”
About: I've done daily care giving for multiple types of animals and breeds. Tasks such as bathing, walking, house sitting, feeding, administering medicine and minor grooming. (Drying, combing, brush out). I'm currently working part time but I have plenty of time for your fur babies. I would like a list of things that are needed for said fur babies and make sure your fur babies is well taken care of. I have a small fenced in backyard and I live in a apartment complex so I can walk them around near grass areas and at the park. I want you to be able to give as much info as you can on your fur baby so they are healthy and well taken care of in my care, I care about your interest what is best for you fur baby.
“Jen’s sooooo great! Our pup had a wonderful stay, plenty of company and fun - Jen even bathed our pup for us, due to getting a little dirty playing outside. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
About: Being a pet owner myself I know how important it is to have someone takecare of your fur babies while you're away. Someone who can shower them with attention, care and love. With over a decade's experience I'm trusted by families to provide a safe, loving and dependable care for pets of all ages. I am currently at home full time and hence have ample time to cater to these babies. Over night stays, day care or custom schedules available to fit your pet's needs. I have a friendly dog who can keep your fur baby company. We'll go out for walks, explore the neighborhood and do much more apart from just the regular potty breaks. They'll always be under supervision.
“I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Amanda. She watched our 2 dogs this week, 2 separate times that we needed to travel overnight. You can tell she genuinely adores every dog she cares for and she is so great about sending updates and pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for peace of mind when they have to be away from their fur babies.”
“Andrea was fantastic boarding our dogs. They both had a hard time adjusting and she was incredibly patient helping them settle in so they could be happy and healthy during their stay. Her communication was great so we always knew how the pups were doing.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marion
We traveled from Pittsburgh to Marion for a family wedding and needed someone to watch our dog Paddington during the ceremony and reception, and Jennifer was wonderful! We got to meet her adorable Bulldog, Diesel, which was a great bonus. Jennifer's communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and sharing photos so we could fully enjoy the celebration without worry. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Marion can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marion. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 OH 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
