“Ruth did an excellent job caring for our fur babies. We had a dog that recently had surgery and we were concerned about leaving him alone. Ruth was able to also administer his medication. Our babies really enjoyed having her. You could tell how caring and attentive she was to them the moment she walked in the door.”
About: I have over two years of experience working as a kennel technician at a cat/dog boarding facility. I’m able to care for pets of all ages with all different kinds of health issues, including administering shots and medications. Talk to me about any questions or concerns you might have, and we can figure it out from there. Pet care is my priority right now, so I will have plenty of time to care for your loving fur baby. This includes play time! Allowing pets to stay in their own environment while owners are away is an excellent way to reduce your pet’s overall stress. I’m able to check in on your pet as many times as needed during your time away. Making sure your pet is happy and comfortable is my number one goal!
“Lucrecia was great! Our dog is a bit nervous when we leave, so we tend to go overboard on instructions. Lucrecia was very understanding and our Zeus seems very happy and relaxed around her.”
“Laura was the best!!! We were pretty nervous about leaving our fur baby with a stranger but Laura did such a great job! She sent daily cuddle and walk pics and helped us keep our super-spoiled old cranky girl on her routine. It was such a relief knowing that Laura was spoiling our dog—we knew we didn’t need to worry about her after the first couple of days of regular updates—which helped us enjoy our 30th wedding anniversary trip out of state. She was also very respectful of our home —even helped with an unexpected (refrigerated) medication delivery which was a huge relief for us. All in all we were absolutely thrilled with her work—highly recommend five stars!!!! (Dog now very clearly misses her—awkward but we’re good with it haha)”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m dependable, attentive, and passionate about providing pets with the love, care, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I work a full time job in the mornings but completely free and available right after work to take care of your pet and any other needs the pet may need. I provide dependable, loving care for dogs in clients’ homes, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I am very respectful of my clients property and pets.
About: I have a special place in my heart for senior pets, special-needs pets, and the people who worry about leaving them. I’ve been a pet parent my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for elderly and chronically ill animals, including administering oral and injected medications. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for visits, walks and quality time with your pets. I’ve loved dogs and cats through every stage of life, from energetic youngsters who want to play all day to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I’m just as happy throwing a ball for the wild child as I am cuddling on the couch with the old soul. My Aussie lived to 17, and I’ve cared for an elderly beagle, an 18-year-old cat, and a pug with chronic illness. Those experiences taught me how important routine, patience and attention to subtle changes can be. I’m also a Rover pet parent myself, so I know what it’s like to be on the other side of the booking. I always preferred having my pets remain comfortable at home, with someone who didn’t just feed them and leave but actually spent time with them. That’s the kind of sitter I want to be for you. My philosophy is pretty simple: their time with us is too short not to spoil them. ❤️ I work from home with a flexible schedule, so dogs staying with me get plenty of companionship, attention and potty breaks throughout the day. I live in a house with a fenced yard and share my home with my pug. I’ve spent much of my life in a multi-pet household, so having extra furry faces around feels very normal to me! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. For dogs staying with me, I work from home, so I’m around throughout much of the day to provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime and attention. I have a fenced yard and a lifetime of experience sharing my home with dogs of different ages and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with senior and special-needs pets and have experience administering oral and injected medications. I follow feeding, medication and care instructions closely and will keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and loved.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Marion is $55 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
