“Kendyl took wonderful care of my Scottish terrier, Fala! I could tell Fala had a wonderful time and was very well taken care of. Also received daily updates and photos. I highly recommend☺️☺️☺️”
“Kara and her family were amazing with my husky! They had him for 5 days while we were out of town and I have nothing but great things to say about them. My boy was well taken care of, he was happy and communication was consistent (something I highly appreciated) They took him on walks, played with him and gave him lots of love. We totally recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Bella! The communication in advance of our trip was beneficial and helpful, and she developed rapport quickly with our pup Bubba once we arrived. Bella’s energy, knowledge, and care throughout our conversations helped instill trust quickly. Bubba is looking forward to his next visit!”
“Cynthia made sure my fairly anxious dog, Obi, was well cared for! This is the first time I’ve left him with someone he doesn’t know, so I was worried at first. But Cynthia kept me updated the whole time I was gone and her pictures and quick updates made me feel so much better about being away from Obi!”
“Meagan accepted my booking request to watch my dog very last minute due to a family emergency. She was available and willing to help, and she did a great job with him! She sent me pictures of him while I was gone, and he seemed very happy when we got there to pick him back up! He is totally worn out from all the playing, and he seems to have had a great time. Will definitely be using her again!”
“This is Kai’s second time with Tea! She communicates very well and even sends a photo a day of him. Even during pick up she says how he did, and the last time he used the bathroom! Simple but important! I also like that she only cares for one pup at a time! 10/10 recommend!”
About: I've had a dog since I was about 7 years old. Between fostering both cats and dogs for the RHSPCA, and having goats, chickens, fish, parakeets, lizards and rabbits, pets aren't strangers around here. I love learning about each creature's individual personality and playing (or just snuggling!) in the way they like best. Our household operates on part-time work with one child homeschooling, making it easy to find time to care for your pet as well! It's a great part of the homeschool experience too ❤️ Although there are quite a few pets around, I also live in an old farmhouse with a zillion doors, making it easy to offer as much inside space as is appropriate for each critter. The fenced-in yard gives medium-sized dogs the opportunity to really RUN outside! And the availability of snugglers inside is perfect for any downtime :)
About: I grew up on a mini farm surrounded by animals — from lizards and hermit crabs to dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from anxious puppies and kittens to senior dogs with health or mobility challenges, as well as cats with special needs. Every pet in my care receives the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m available to provide flexible care around errands and appointments, giving your pets love, attention, playtime, companionship, and comfort throughout the day, tailored to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines carefully to ensure comfort and familiarity. Pets are supervised at all times, with fresh water, treats, and attention. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, adapting to any special needs, mobility issues, or anxieties. Safety, consistency, and love are my priorities, so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. In my home, I introduce pets safely, separating them from my own during initial meetings. I provide a secure space for each pet and use mini fencing to ensure safety, even though my property is not fully fenced. I follow the same level of care and safety as I would in your home.
“Pamela was fantastic! My dog is usually super clingy and a bit nervous in new environments but the minute we got to Pamela’s house he acted like he lived there. He honestly didn’t even notice I left. Plus Pamela sent me daily photos and updates on how Remi was doing. Easy 5 stars, would confidently let her watch Remi again!”
“Jon and his family were very gracious hosts for our furry family member. He was very thorough in asking about our beagle’s needs and provided all necessities for a successful stay: crate, bed, fenced yard, and lots of play and spoiling! It was comforting knowing that it was more of a retreat for our dog than boarding, and Jon went above and beyond to make things easy and successful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his hands and will be return customers! Thanks!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, from my first Jack Russell Terrier to a sweet (and feisty) Chihuahua and a lovable Morkie. All of my pets (except for my current Maltese-Yorkie mix, Dolly) have been rescues, so I’m well-versed in understanding the different needs of dogs from all walks of life. Growing up, I also took care of my neighbors’, friends, and family’s cats and dogs, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a variety of animals. I’m passionate about providing personalized care for each pup, whether they’re energetic and playful or need some extra TLC. From feeding and walking to cuddles and training, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you're away. You can count on me to treat your dog just like one of my own, with plenty of attention, affection, and care. Since I work part-time and have weekends off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention and care to your pet. Pet care is a natural part of my day. I prioritize feeding, walking, and playtime, and I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a sweet, friendly dog who can keep yours company—or I can safely crate my dog if your pet prefers solo time. I always follow any special instructions and treat your pet like one of my own. Whether in your home or mine, their safety and comfort come first.
“Zander was great. He went over and above for our rather difficult chihuahua mix, Susie, who reacts negatively to air pressure changes due to rain and thunderstorms. I recommend him for any dog.”
“Everything about Joey and Zuzu's stay was PERFECT! We've only had Zuzu (rescued) for a few weeks; he has some "quirks", had no idea how he'd do, but Joey put us at ease during the meet & greet - he has a wonderful demeanor, his philosophy on having/treating/educating dogs is the same as ours, his place is great (lots of space, personal attention, socialization, etc etc). Communication was great, we were accommodated when drop-off time changed last minute, received pics/videos during Zuzu's stay, and received very helpful feedback on Zuzu when we picked him up. THANX, Joey -- we'll definitely book with you again !”

“Samantha was great, flexible, and clearly loves and understands dogs. Our little Maltipoo had a great time hanging out with her and her dog. We will definitely use her again when we're in the area.”

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Marksville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Marksville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Marksville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marksville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
You and your Marksville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
