“This was the first time leaving our puppy with anyone, and we were nervous. Rae and her family took great care of our dog so much so I think he wanted to go back 😀. We will definitely be using them again. They treated our dog like family.”
“Isabel & her family were great with Zero! This was my first time leaving him & I was comfortable when I dropped him off. I booked a few days before needing their services during the holidays (17 days)! She sent updates and responded within the hour if I reached out to check on him! I had no worries while I was gone. Thank you for keeping and loving on him when we couldn’t! 😊 I will use them again, if they’re available, without hesitation!”
“Grace and her husband John are absolute gems! I was so happy I left my baby boy Archer with them because I felt safe and confident that he was in good hands. They sent lots of pictures of Archer having a good time while we were away in the UK for 19 days and made sure he was well taken care of! Will def have them sit for Archer in the future. Extended family! ❤️”
“Sophia and Kevin were great at providing nightly updates and photos. We felt so comfortable that our pup was under great care. They were also extremely understanding and accommodating when our flight was delayed and our pick up time had to be pushed back. Couldn’t recommend them enough!”
“Celeste was so sweet with my baby! 💕 She was very communicative and patient as Ella was a little shy at first. I could tell she cared about her as her own. Definitely booking with Celeste again!”
“Lillian was great with our fur baby we had to go out of town over a holiday weekend and she was very accommodating and gave us updates daily. She is very responsive and our dog seemed very happy with his visit”
“Lauren was incredible with my three dogs! She had them for ten days and was even flexible when my flight got delayed and I had to add on another night last minute. One of my dogs can be a challenge and I was worried to leave him with someone new. Lauren had him loving her within the first hour and I didn’t have to worry at all. She also sent me lots of updates and photos while I was gone which I loved! I will 100% be booking again!”
“Breanna is fantastic to work with! Everything you'd want in a host - very responsive, caring, flexible about timing for drop-off and pick-up, and a genuine animal lover. She checked in with daily & kept me well informed by sending pictures of Chorizo getting along with her family and pets. We recommend her 110%!!”
“It was an absolute pleasure having Grant dog-sit over the Labor Day Weekend for me. I had never used this app before, nor had I ever left my dog in someone else's care before. Grant was extremely kind, communicative, and thoughtful about not only my dog, but myself as well. He sent me plenty of updates, photos and videos of my dog while I was away and made sure I never had any worries. I would highly recommend all pet owners consider Grant and his wife for any dog-sitting needs!”
“Sarah has watched our Yorkipoo 3 times now and has been so wonderful with her! She's very involved in her care, sending me pictures and observations about her behavior the entire time. She is so kind and you can tell she really cares about every dog she watches in her home. She's our go-to sitter!”
“Agnes has done a great job dog sitting for us on a few occasions. She is quick to communicate and always sends picture updates. She responds to the individual needs of our dogs and I have recommended her to friends looking for a dog sitter.”
“We were so thankful to have found Tabitha. It was so nice to receive her pictures, and we felt secure in knowing that our Baby was with a family that was playing with her and holding her while we were gone.”
“Reyna was fantastic! She kept me up to date with my pup and was even so flexible with our geriatric one that just didn't do well with separation. She would take my sweet boy out on activities which he absolutely loves. She definitely treated my baby like her own. Highly recommend. I'll be using her again for sure!”
“Karen was such an amazing dog sitter for our pup. We recently adopted Piper and were nervous to leave her for our trip but Karen provided a comfortable, loving and welcoming environment for our girl. We recieved regular updates and photos/videos of how she was doing throughout the stay and would definitely recommend Karen to friends and family, and trust her with our girl for future trips when we need a dogsitter. 10/10 would book again, thank you Karen!”
“Amber came through for us with only 24 hours notice. Without her agreeing to watch Prince our spontaneous getaway wouldn't have been possible. We really appreciate her!”
“I would definitely be rebooking my dogs with Rachel again. She kept me updated on my babies and the return in good health 😃😃 Thank you so much for watching my babies.”
“Our 6 month old puppy had a fantastic time with Morgan and her beautiful family! Her children are lovely and gave him a great time and the best belly rubs. Morgan also provided timely updates and photos. Would definitely board again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marion
My husband's feedback: "fantastic with the two most frustrating dogs on the planet" Brittney is amazing! She was so understanding of our boys' needs (not just kibble fed and have tons of energy). She has lots of room for them to run around. Her puppy, Maverick, is a so sweet, such a cutie, and the perfect playmate for our boys. She was even understanding when one of our guys used her plants as a dog toy. Now we can feel so much better about planning trips knowing we have a safe and fun option for our boys. Thank you!!

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.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 TX 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.
