“I really appreciate how after every visit she gives a summary WITH pictures of what happened, like how much they ate, if they played or cuddled, plus funny side notes. She is very informative, a fast replier, and updates daily. This sets her apart from any pet sitter I’ve used! My scaredy cats love her!!! This is my 3rd time booking with Victoria, and will be booking again.”
“Jada is amazing!!! We have used her several times for extended stays and love her. This day after a miscommunication my hubby and I realized neither of us had let our baby girl out before heading to work. After a panicked message to Jada she headed over and let her out.”
About: I have experience taking care of animals from big to small, young and old. I have experience with the elderly, disabled, administering medication, and special dietary needs. I have a special interest in exotic animals. I have worked with all kinds of reptiles and hope to work with more! I am currently a full-time college student and go to school Monday and Wednesday from 9-3:30 every week. A have a small window of free time from 12:30-1:30 on the days I have school. I make sure my client's home and in the same condition as they were when I entered. I take pride in knowing that any messes, hair, accidents, or any incidents get cleaned up in a quick and concise manner. I make sure to give the animals I care for an enriching environment. I make a point to play with and give affection to the animals for at least 30 minutes every visit.
About: BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL!! NEW DROP-IN CUSTOMERS FIRST VISIT FREE. NEW BOARDING CUSTOMERS 1ST DAY 50% OFF ANY STAY 3 DAYS OR MORE. I have been taking care of pets for about 15 years off and on whether it be my own pets or the pets of others'. Bathing, brushing, soothing, walking, giving medications, you name it. I have had a few classes over K9 Resuscitation and can perform basic first aid and CPR on your pet if needed. If there is something that needs done for your pet that I haven't done before, then teach me how and I will ensure its done while I have your pet in my care. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I work full time so I am usually only available to board or day care on the weekends or when I take a break from work. I will update my schedule before hand though and we'll often be available on holidays. I can do dropins a few days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. She loves other animals. If your pets are aggressive to other animals, then let me know. I will try to accommodate as much as possible by keeping them in a separate room.
“Sophia is so sweet and thoughtful! We will continue to book her for our pups! She is kind, cares about our dogs, follows our instructions super well, and communicates with us throughout the time she is with them.”
“Thank you Kara for taking care of Gabby! She loved her visits very much. She’s a happy girl! Appreciate your posting photos of her playing and walking. We’ll book with you again when we are here.”
About: Since I started living in New Braunfels, family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to take care of their pets (walking, feeding, playing, etc.). During the week, I work solely from home. I am available on weekends as well. I am very flexible and accommodating so please reach out. I have a fenced and spacious yard. I am very accommodating and willing to help in any way I can. I work completely from home to ensure I am with the pups throughout the day. We also go on two consistent walks each day: morning and evening. Safety is my number one priority. I will ensure to follow all guidelines from each owner regarding the care of their pet as well as ask any important questions I may have.
“AnnaMaria did a wonderful job dropping in on my cat, Mr. Steve. Prompt, trustworthy, and super helpful with last minute adjustments. Everything went smoothly from start to finish! Would book again.”
“Diane was great with our pups. She sent video and pics of their time together. It was fun to see that they still have some pup life in them when we’re not home. She threw the ball for them and spent time outside. They ate well also. Normally when we’re gone they don’t eat but with Diane it was like a normal day. I greatly appreciated her being there for them. I will definitely call the next time we need a surrogate dog mom!”
About: Currently, I get the pleasure and opportunity to work from home. So that gives me plenty of time to provide lots of belly rubs and kisses. So I have plenty of time for walk, tug of war and treat breaks. My home has lots of space and can accommodate any request. My home provides dog gates throughout the home. Comfy beds and dog cage if needed. Home also has designated cozy dog room for relax time.
About: Feel free to ask me about pricing! After being diagnosed with a chronic illness, I turned pet sitting into my full time passion. Working from home gives me the flexibility to care for your babies any time and anywhere. With over nine years of experience, I have been a dedicated caretaker for animals of all sizes. My services include walking, bathing, feeding, sitting, and boarding pets. I have a lot of experience with elderly, reactive, and ill pets. When house-sitting, I ensure your pets are well-cared for with regular walks, feeding, watering, and bathing as needed, along with additional household tasks like watering plants. During drop-in visits, I provide feeding, watering, and playtime for at least 30 minutes, extending the time if your pets need extra attention and care. I particularly enjoy daily dog walks, whether it's through a local park or a favorite trail specified by the owner. Every service comes with plenty of photos and updates, keeping you connected with your beloved pets. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I develop with each animal. I truly assess and respond to their needs and emotions, going beyond the basic requirements because I genuinely care. For your convenience, I offer same-day booking and cancellation to accommodate your schedule. If you have any questions, please feel free to email, call, or text me at any time. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! If I am booked for your pet, they are my main priority. My routine revolves around them as if they were my own. The more time I get to spend with furry friends the better! Each pet is different and require different levels of attention. I am happy to fill in for the owner in any way that is needed. Sometimes that looks like standing outside with the pet during potty time. Sometimes that looks like ensuring nothing in left out on the ground or counters. I also do not take any pet to a place that is unsafe or that I or the owner are unfamiliar with. Safety first!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Marion choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
