“Kallie K is spectacular! She went above and beyond for my fur baby, River - especially during the recent thunderstorms. She understood that if River didn't like fireworks, she probably didn't like thunderstorms and proceeded to stay with River through some of the worst during her time. My fur baby is very people shy, but Kallie was able to break through her shell. Her frequent updates and pictures made me feel like she was part of the family now. I wish I could afford to just put her on retainer! I really giver her 10 stars!”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. From participating in 4-H as a kid to working as a veterinary technician and rescuing pets for years, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I provide compassionate, dependable care—including extra patience, comfort, and attention for senior pets who need a little more love. I work from home Monday through Friday and have weekends off, so your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and round-the-clock care every day of the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play and explore. My friendly, well-socialized fur baby loves making new friends and enjoys the company of other pets. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated for meals, bedtime, or when unattended, I’m happy to accommodate their routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Kim is great!!! Love the communication, pictures and updates. This week we had a scheduling mixup and didn’t need her at the last minutes and within a couple minutes of letting her know, she had already changed the booking! Very pleased with what she does for us and most importantly, Presley!!!!!”
About: I have been a veterinary technician for 6 years working an array of practices. From small pocket pets to large animal, general practice to emergency care, I thrive off making sure your kiddos are treated like family!! I am experienced in nail trimming dogs and cats, so if your kiddo is in need of a mani-pedi I’m all ears! I work flexible relief shifts at an animal ER, allowing me to accommodate varied schedules and provide reliable, attentive, and personalized pet care. With 6 years of veterinary experience and an additional 6 years of equine specific training, I’m no stranger to pet care, no matter the size! All of my four-legged friends have been rescues, so I believe in treating every animal with patience, respect, and compassion. I strongly support positive reinforcement and science-backed, ethical training methods. I believe pets should be treated like family, but they’re allowed to also just be a dog/cat, too!

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! With decades of hands-on experience caring for my own pets and those of friends and family, I understand that our furry companions aren't just animals — they're family. Over the years, I've shared my life with a wonderful variety of dogs, from small breeds to large, each with their own unique personalities, energy levels, and needs. Today, my little 6-pound companion, Pico, and my three Bengal cats keep life entertaining! I enjoy everything from outdoor walks and adventures to spending quiet time with pets who prefer a slower pace. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and care tailored to their individual personality. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some loving companionship while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week, including select weekends. Late mornings, afternoons, and early evenings work best for me. I also work in real estate, so I carefully manage my calendar to make sure every pet in my care receives the time and attention they deserve. I'm happy to discuss recurring visits or occasional care based on your pet's needs and my availability. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I take time to learn each pet's personality, routine, feeding instructions, and any special needs before beginning care. I believe in gentle handling, secure leashes, and respecting each pet's boundaries. I never force interactions with unfamiliar animals and always follow the owner's instructions. During visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, receives plenty of love & attention, and is comfortable before I leave. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in caring hands.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always been the type of person who notices their little routines, quirks, and personalities.

I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for like they matter. My schedule gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my week, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’m available for drop ins, house sitting, feeding, playtime, walks, and plenty of check ins. I also don’t mind sending lots of photo updates so you can see how things are going while you’re away. I take pet care and being in someone else’s home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, stick to feeding and medication routines, and pay attention to any changes in your pet’s behavior. I also like to know all the little details ahead of time, including hiding spots, escape-artist tendencies, favorite toys, and anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marion
Kallie was great! I got detailed updates about my Tiny & she even went above & beyond and brought in my packages even though I didn’t mention this on our meet & greet. Tiny is pretty shy & hesitant around other people so it’s always a great sign when I receive photos of him feeling comfortable around a sitter. 10/10

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Marion is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 3,084 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Marion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marion. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
