“Dave is a true animal lover! Nacho immediately bonded to Dave (fell asleep in his arms the entire time he was here meeting us!). Dave was so quick to respond to my request (within several minutes) and scheduled time to come meet Nacho and I the very next day. He was communicative, prompt, and most importantly, took excellent care of Nacho. We are SO happy to have met Dave! He will be our go-to going forward. Thank you, Dave!”
“It’s such a joy to be able to leave our pets in such good hands. Makenzie is a fantastic housesitter. We have 2 large dogs and a cat. They ask us to go on vacation so they can see Makenzie again and again. 100 percent satisfaction every time.”
“Lindsay is wonderful! She is reliable, professional and kind. She took great care of our sometimes anxious pup and he was as calm and content as can be when we arrived home after being away for almost a week. Lyndsay also took great care of our home while we were away. The house was in better order when we returned than it was when we left! Thank you Lyndsay!”
“Madison was sweet, accommodating and communicated very thoroughly. I loved getting plenty of pictures and updates about my pups! My dogs are larger and finicky eaters so it was nice to hear they ate all their meals while I was gone! Thank you !”
About: I worked as a nanny for over 10 years which included pet care. Anything from daily walks and feeding to overnight extended care. I love the chance to make new furry friends and share my favorite walks. I work remotely so have full flexibility to work when I want and when is best for your furry fmaily members. I find caregiving to be a win win. I make a new friend and have someone to go on walks with and pets get the love and attention they need. The health and safety of your pet is number one for me. I have a large area in my home where animals can relax with sunlight, houseplants, and water. For care in your home, I’m happy to follow whatever protocols you have established. Nothing is too niche, trust me. My childhood dog wouldn't eat his dinner unless I 'sprinkled special flavour powder' (I just mimed grabbing something from the cupboard) over his food. It's important to me that you and your loved one's routine is maintained as much as possible.
About: I have two dogs of my own that I love and care for! One of them is 7 and the other is 2. My schedule is super open at the moment so I'm able to really be there for your dog through out the day! My schedule is very open. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention. Because of that, it’s easy for me to include additional pets into my routine and give them consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I provide attentive care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, I keep a safe, clean environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable and stress free. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m very experienced with daily pet care and making sure pets feel safe and loved.
About: I have had pets most of my life. I have worked for Coombs kennels in Heber and dealt with a wide variety of dog breeds. I have a 10 year old black lab who is my world. I'm currently slowly searching for the perfect career after working in the restaurant industry for many years. I have an open schedule and am flexible I can walk dogs comfortably on or off leash. I have a good vehicle for transporting animals to great walking areas. I can also walk or play with your pet in your area.
“Alejandra was amazing with the pups. I loved receiving all the updates. She is a great communicator. She was prompt and even offered to stay late if our flight got delayed. When we got back the house was just as clean when we left it.”
“Mckenzie took great care Housesitting for our energetic retriever. She did a nice job of communicating with us which made being away easy. Definitely will be asking her to sit again.”
“Jai was great in pet sitting our bichon frise (Mochi)! Mochi has separation anxiety and Jai stayed with him throughout the whole night. He also made sure to take him out to potty and play. We were really appreciative of all the pictures he sent us throughout the night, almost every other hour. It seemed like every time I was thinking if Mochi was a okay, Jai would read my mind and give me an update with a few pictures! Would definitely book again.”
“WOW! This was our first time using Rover. Larissa was amazing. She sent us pictures and videos of our little Yorkie. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again. Thanks Larissa!”
“Emily did a fantastic job. She is super responsive and I came home to a happy dog. She took my higher-energy breed dog to play outside multiple times a day. I would definitely book her to house sit with my dog again.”
“Nathalia is the best! This is my first experience on Rover and she did not disappoint! She kept my 2 month old puppy entertained which can be tough so i’m so grateful for that! She made sure to update me on how my puppy was doing and did everything I asked perfectly. So nice and would definetly have her house sit again!”
“Gabriella took amazing care of my two doggies for over two weeks and they were in great shape when I came back! She was great at communicating and sending me pictures every day. She was also very respectful of my house and I could not have asked for a better and trusted sitter.”
“Jenn was a dog parent’s dream! She was attentive to all of my dogs’ needs and quirks, and couldn’t have been more accommodating to my travel and access needs, pickup and drop off times, etc. She handled my dog with medical needs easily, and sent lots of pics of my pups looking very happy. Very psyched we found our new favorite dog sitter :)”
About: Back home when I lived in Florida, I used to work at a veterinary practice that my dad owns (Sunset Point Animal Hospital). I spent lots of time working there through middle school and a lot of time in high school and my early years of college. The biggest thing that sets me apart is that if there’s ever an emergency, I know what to do. I currently travel for work all across the US, right now, my homebase is currently in Salt Lake City. I install for Vivint during the summer months and right now I am in the off-season and have a bunch of free time. Your pet will have my undivided attention and will be taken care of as best as possibly could. No matter what the task is I will be there to do it exceptionally.
About: Hello, my name is Justin! I’m an experienced emergency veterinary technician with extensive knowledge of animal care and medical needs. In addition to pet sitting, I offer additional services such as nail trims and bathing for an extra fee—just ask, and I’ll be happy to provide details! I am also equipped to care for animals with special medical needs, so please let me know what kind of care your pet requires and when you’d like me to help. Animals have always been my passion, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend. Feel free to reach out—I look forward to meeting them! My availability can be limited Wednesday through Saturday due to my full time job, but can accommodate care before and after work when needed. Communicate your needs and we can work something out. I am able to feed, provide affection, playtime, walk, and even administer medications if needed. I have a lot of Veterinary experience and would be the best fit for any special needs or medically complex pets.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
