“Jada was incredibly accommodating and flexible as our plans changed! She sent us regular photos of our dog that let us know he was doing well. She stayed at the house and left it clean and tidy. We will definitely use Jada again.”
“Victoria exceeded all expectations! I have 2 cats (15 & 6) that both required different levels of care and Victoria was able to handle both of them. She was very thorough in her prep and we had a video consult to go over all expectations, requests, questions, etc. She was detailed and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to cover. During the pet sitting, she kept me updated at all time and provided pictures to let me know the girls were doing okay. My 15 year old cat requires multiple medications that can sometimes be difficult to administer and she was able to administer with no issues. Nothing about this was a negative experience and I would recommend her to anyone!! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
“Emoni is an awesome pet sitter. She took excellent care of our two dogs and cat. She was very responsible, responsive and accommodating. We already booked her for Thanksgiving and the dogs are looking forward to their buddy coming back to play.”
“This is the 2nd time I’ve used Juliza. She took excellent care of all the pets! She plays with them and pampers them . She also sends pics and reports on how they r doing. I definitely recommend her!”
“Kallie was AMAZING!!!! She constantly sent pics and if my dogs lay on and around her, she’s a keeper! It’s always so hard to find that person to trust with your dogs and your home, but we found “that person” with Kallie!”
“McKaylee thank you so much for the great care you gave our sweet Amaretto. It was the first time leaving our pup since losing her sibling. McKaylee gave us the comfort we needed by sending us pictures often and staying at the house with Amaretto. We will definitely use her again soon! ♥️♥️♥️”
About: I love animals! I have an almost 4 year old goldendoodle that is the light of my life. I would love to treat your fur family like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I'm able to stick closely to their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and potty schedules while ensuring they aren't left alone for long periods. Because of my flexible schedule, I can give pets regular exercise, lots of affection, and consistent care throughout the day and evening. Whether it's a midday walk, play session, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I follow all feeding, walking, playtime, and medication instructions carefully and make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. I keep pet areas clean, ensure fresh water is always available, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to help pets feel happy and secure in their own environment and to make the experience as seamless as possible for both pets and their owners.
“Wonderful experience for both our pups and us! Thalia was super responsive, cheery, and the pups really responded well to her even while we were away. Would happily have her house/pet sit for us again.”
“Wonderful experience! Sara helped me out at the last minute when my schedule changed. She also extended her stay with my pups because a storm had come in and one of my dogs hates thunder. I’m so grateful she was there to ease my worries when I had to be away at work. Will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone I know.”
“Carmen is worth the five star. Not only did she do an excellent job with the house sitting, but my two babies will miss her. I will continue to use her for all future needs, if she accepts.”
“Laura was an excellent communicator and seemed to really care about our pets. We appreciate the photos and the well-being of our house upon our return. Pets seem happy and so are we. Thank you!”
“Michelle was great for our dogs. They were so relaxed staying in our home and it made our trip easy without the worries for them! We will definitely use Michelle again! And recommend her to our relatives and friends!”
About: I have been providing pet services for friends and families in my community for years!! I love all animals like they are my own. I have been actively volunteering at shelters around San Antonio in my free time! Besides volunteering, my time is open! I’m looking to meet all kinds of fur babies, big or small. My time will be divided into providing for your pets and providing for our community! I will consistently engage with them, I love playing with animals or just chilling with them if they are low energy. I also love keeping everything clean for my clients so that’s a plus for you!! I do any tasks needed for your pet!
“Emmarose was amazing! She went above and beyond for our pup to ensure maximum comfort and safety. Her communication was excellent and frequent which eased our worry while we were gone. Her love and passion for animals was clear and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We will rebook for future needs!”
“Samantha was amazing and took such great care of my two pups! Would recommend her to anyone and everyone because she was so attentive and caring as well as sent us pictures throughout her stay of the dogs!”
About: I have years of experience between animals, livestock, babies, and senior care. I breed Australian shepherds and Japanese Akitas, and currently own chickens. I do own my own house and with a decent size fenced backyard. I’m available all day of the week. If I have to step out, I have cameras all over my house and around my house. I have a fenced yard, cameras all over the outside of my house and in the inside as well. There is always someone at my house.
“Delishia is so so incredible and caring. She stayed at my house and provided care for my two dogs, one of which was extremely fearful of strangers. She was patient with him, and got him to open up to her by the end of our trip. I HIGHLY recommend her if you are going on a trip and have any pets that need taking care of. She goes above and beyond, while I was out of town, a board in my fence broke and she went to the store to repair it without being asked. So so so incredible I hope you choose her if able!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Marion
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marion on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,788 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Marion walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Marion maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
