About: Hi, I’m Mirian. As an experienced pet sitter, I provide dedicated care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and bearded dragons. Having owned two dogs, I understand the deep bond between pets and their families. I know trust is essential when choosing a caregiver. I am committed to offering your furry and scaled family members reliable, attentive, and high-quality care! :) Since I am currently working part time I thought this was the chance to make some money doing something I love, taking care of dogs! My schedule is not consistent but I normally work 3 days a week. My calendar will always be up to date so you know my availability! If you have any questions, always feel free to ask! Thank you;) When it comes to anyone’s animal, I will always treat them like my own. I will always be paying attention to what they do and how they react in situations so nothing happens. Takings walks, giving meals/medicine, cleaning up after them, making sure they aren’t in any danger, looking after them at all times, and being able to keep them comfortable with me is always going to be my priority.
About: Growing up on a farm set the stage for providing and caring for all sorts of animals. Many years spent showing horses, lambs, goats, market hogs and all sorts of small animals in 4H. After college I started working with standardbred race horses as a groom. Since then for the past 6 years I have worked with racehorses, broodmares and foals. All the while keeping my loyal canines happy. Since having a sweet baby boy in April, I have quit my full time job. On occasion I still work for my fiancé and his families racehorse stable. I am looking to add some fun and exciting new friends to my daily routine! My family and our two dogs Brandi a 6 year old mountain cur / beagle mix and Iggy a 6 month old mini Aussie/beagle mix live in a quite neighborhood with a recently added privacy that backs up to a woods. Our home is secured by Nest security cameras. Your family members would be welcomed into our home or given their own privacy room or kennel depending on their individual needs. If your 4 legged family member is more comfortable staying at their own home, playing in their own yard and walks in a familiar neighborhood, I also offer that!
About: I like to think I’m a dog communicator. I love to take them for walks & I care about them and their time spent with me I work part time, I can easily take care of your pet on the days I don’t work. I get up early and retire early with plenty of energy in between! I have a smaller fenced back yard with land to leash and walk longer distances. I have 2 smaller size poodles, one older, that hunt around every time we go out
About: With experience of over 40 years with own cats and dogs of all ages, many of them ill, we take extra care .. also of your home:)) We are flexible in days and time being retired / working independently on and off from home. We are available over all holidays for you. We can take in dogs as long as they are good with cats. Our three senior girls are friendly in nature. Dogs must be up to date with their shots and flea/tick prevention.
About: Hey, I’m Jonathan! I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life, and today I’m the proud owner of two playful Labs. I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you can trust with your furry family—so I treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just good company, I’m here to keep tails wagging. I work from home Monday–Friday, 9 to 6, which gives me flexible availability to care for pets throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets have a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at ease. I supervise closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure they’re never left without care.
“We appreciate the communication and flexibility provided esp with a late scramble with another sitter this past couple of weeks. And, most importantly, we were confident our big fur-baby was happy and taken care of with walks and more!”
About: What sets me apart is heart-led care—personalized attention, reliable routines, and genuine love that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and at home. Rest assured your pet gets everything they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and individualized attention, ensuring each pet receives consistent care, supervision, and affection throughout the day. I offer a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of safe roaming, a calm pet-only home with no other free roaming animals or children, and a clean, non-smoking environment.
“Monica and her dogs were great! Took great care of Breslin and even took his crazy personality on walks :) He came home tired every day. Was also flexible with last minute timing requests. Will definitely use again!”
About: What sets me apart from others sitters is the unconditional love that I have for animals in plural, the space they have in my heart. I’m mostly at home, I’m in my second trimester of pregnancy, and I’m most of the time alone because my husband works. Here to help. I just moved to a new apartment and the environment is very friendly, is comfortable, and very peaceful. I speak English and Spanish. Everyone’s welcome.
About: I have had three dogs, myself and personally trained two of them! Our young growing family will give your pup plenty of attention and love! Your pup must be good with kids and animals as we have two young boys who absolutely love animals and a miniature Australian Shepherd, who will play well with any dog! There are also two barn cats on the property who keep to themselves for the most part. I will send update pictures daily, so you can be assured that your pup is doing great. We can’t wait to host your furry friend! I am a stay at home mom so I can be extremely flexible with schedule and be available for your pet most of the time and attend to the needs of your specific pet. I will be sure to feed your pet as often as they are used to at home and with the food you provide. I spend lots of time outside with the kids so you can also be assured that your pet will be given plenty of outside time! I am happy to leave pets inside if they prefer that as well. With our Australian Shepherd exercise will also not be a concern as he is very playful but he also will leave animals alone if they don’t want to play!
About: Having and taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life and heart. If I could, I’d own a HUGE rescue and love them all with my heart! Currently I am unemployed due to a mass layoff so I am providing services I know I can definitely do! I also have an empty home during the day so no kids during day hours! Even though my daughter is the biggest animal lover! I care for anyone’s pets as if they are my own. Sometimes it can be like a zoo, but the love and joy you get from animals is the best! And they don’t talk back! ;)
About: I've pet sit for many friends and family including walking, feeding, playing, and more! I care for all animals and love giving snuggles as well as lots of pets! I work part time at the outlet mall a few days a week and get out around 8:30 but I am mostly free around that! I have one crazy doberman at home and have pet sit shy dogs as well as very playful! I care for all of them equally and will cater to any needs your baby might need.
About: I love dogs and have had my own Yorkshire for about 3 years now. I’ve taken care of my mothers dog and love playing with them, making sure they are I’m currently a stay home house wife and I have a lot of time on my hands, I have a nice fenced in yard with a gate. I will make sure the dogs get plenty of play time outside and plenty of comfortable rest on dog beds in the basement, there are several dogs next door and my dog is friendly as well.
“Fantastic experience! Upper dare care provided on short notice. Our puppy was worn out after a day of play. Very pleased with the care Anna (Xi) provided. Very conscientious, asked all the questions to make sure our puppy’s experience was maximized. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been training and caring for dogs professionally for over 15 years. I enjoy caring for dogs and enriching their lives through exercise and training. If your dog needs a walk while you're at work, or you need vacation care for your pets, I'm here for you and your pets. I have trained and titled dogs in Obedience, Rally, Agility and Tricks. I am also a Certified Assistance dog trainer. Along with walks and drop-ins, I also offer day training services that we can discuss at our initial meet and greet, if you're interested in me training with your dog during the day as part of, or instead of, a walk. Walking and training is my full-time job. I'm available weekdays, and some weekends. I'd love to care for your dog while you're at work or away. Exercise, play and train with dogs during the day while their humans are away. Reinforcing good behavior is my specialty. I love training walks and fun training sessions to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated. If you'd like, I can incorporate training into any of my visits for an additional fee. Reach out for more information. I utilize the dogs food and toys to positively reinforce good behaviors that we'd like to see more of. I work on the basics and fun tricks and skills, not behavior problems or aggression.
“Josie and Jimmy are wonderfully loving and caring. They have a lovely, pet friendly home, and we did not have to worry about our dog. They kept us updated with photos. We will definitely use them again!”
About: Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m the owner of Unleashed Peaks, a full-time dog training and behavior coaching business built on calm communication, structure, and trust. Along with training, I also offer structured boarding and daycare in a peaceful, home-style environment where dogs can relax, play, and learn safely. Because I’m a trainer first, everything I do — from playgroups to potty breaks — is intentional. Dogs get enrichment, exercise, and clear routines that build confidence while keeping things fun and low-stress. I follow LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) principles to make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and respected. I love working with all types of dogs, especially those who need a little extra support or structure while you’re away. Whether your pup is here for the day or a full board and train, they’ll be treated like family. Quirks, goofiness, and all. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed, and well-adjusted dog who’s had a fulfilling stay and maybe learned a few new skills along the way. I’m home full-time and spend most of my day working with dogs through my business, Unleashed Peaks. Because training and structured care are what I do every day, your dog is never left unattended for long and always part of a calm, consistent routine. Drop-offs and pick-ups are flexible - mornings and early afternoons usually work best, but I’m happy to coordinate around your schedule. Whether your pup is here for daycare or boarding, they’ll get a balance of play, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care stay in a calm, structured, and enrichment-based environment that helps them feel secure and relaxed. My home is designed with safety in mind, with separate rest areas, and consistent supervision. We have 5 acres of land. Our fence is in progress right now but we have never had an issue! As a full-time trainer, I understand canine body language and group dynamics deeply. I make sure each dog’s play, rest, and social time match their comfort level. New dogs are introduced slowly and respectfully so they can settle in at their own pace. I keep routines predictable and communication clear so dogs always know what to expect. Whether they are here for a day or an extended stay, every dog is treated like family: safe, understood, and cared for.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Marion
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 225 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Marion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Marion commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 225 sitters in Marion, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
