About: I’ve always loved dogs and how unique each one of them are. To this day it amazes me how a pet can be your best friend , even if they can’t respond. They are the best listeners and the best huggers! I am home all day so I can take care of your fur children all day! It’s just my husband my daughters and I. Must be house trained .I do take more than one dog at once so please let me know if you want your dog to just be the only one here!! I have a 5 year old fur baby, I’m unsure his breed since we got him from a shelter but he’s super friendly , Also have 3 daughters daughter that loves animals just like me!

“Luke was absolutely wonderful with our animals! He cared for our dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and horses. We couldn’t have asked for someone more trustworthy and caring. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was fed, comfortable, and well cared for, and he spent extra time giving them attention and reassurance. Knowing that all of our animals were in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Luke and will definitely book with him again!”

“Kristen did a fantastic job. She communicated well and took great care of my pup. Easy to work with and definitely will again in the future. I was cautious and hesitant to find someone to come into my home and take care of my dog. Now I have no regrets hiring Kristen and no hesitation using her again in the future.”

About: I love animals and I know people say that but I truly do. I have been working with animals since I could walk and I’ve never not had a pet whether it was a dog cat or hamster I’ve even had snakes. I now have a new dog and a cat and I would love to help others with there animals when needed because I understand completely that it is needed a lot. I currently work in landscaping so my hours are 6 in the morning and we’re usually off by 5 maybe 6 and occasionally I get off earlier or have daysoff. I am also free on weekends I have church on Sundays but that only takes about an hour of the day. I have 2 pets in my own home now so it’s a lot easier to do house sitting instead of in home care and my boyfriend watches my animals while I’m away. I am free to spend the night at anytime and even just sit with the animals for hours on end and the animals will always come first before any other plans.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for 6 years, but they’ve been my biggest passion since I was little. I have a certification in dog training, have taken a first aid class, and have experience with all kinds of pups! Dogs are my full-time job, which means your pup gets all of my time and attention! My day revolves around the care of my furr-ends! I have a fenced in yard and have a room in my home dedicated to the care of my clients! I have large comfy kennel spaces for each of my guests but if your pup happens to be social and non-destructive I would allow them to free-roam!

About: With 17 years of dedicated experience in dog care, I am the proud owner of three canine companions – one over 14 years old and two between 1-2 years old. Specializing in comprehensive care for senior dogs, I prioritize their well-being, and I am equally adept at managing the exuberance of high-energy dogs. Ensuring a hygienic and comfortable environment is a commitment I extend to all dogs in my care, with particular attention to the unique needs of senior dogs, including accidents, diaper changes, and puppy pad adjustments. My comfort level extends to administering medications, accommodating special diets, handling leash-pulling, and caring for larger breeds. I possess valuable knowledge in addressing the specific requirements of elderly dogs, demonstrating proficiency in managing issues like accidents, diaper usage, and the regular changing of puppy pads. I derive immense joy from engaging dogs in activities that balance their mood and energy levels, whether it's long walks, runs, or interactive play. When entrusted with a dog's care, I treat them as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, health, and happiness. Confident in my ability to discern any signs of discomfort or distress, I am vigilant as a pet owner and can readily identify when a dog requires assistance. I am fully adaptable and committed to following any special requests or specific needs for the pups under my care. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, my enthusiasm and passion for dogs make me eager to embark on this exciting journey. Rest assured, your furry companions will be in caring and capable hands under my watch. I can tailor the walks or check-ins to accommodate your schedule. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to adjust to the time that suits you best. In my dedicated care environment, safety, trust, and a comfortable setting are paramount for both my canine companions and future clients' dogs. With a senior dog and two energetic youngsters, my fenced-in backyard provides a secure space for them to play and explore. I understand the importance of addressing unique challenges, such as leash aggression, and have diligently worked with my dog to overcome it. I prioritize clear communication, always ensuring others are aware when encountering another dog. This proactive approach reflects my commitment to the safety and well-being of all dogs involved, fostering an environment where trust and harmony thrive.

About: If your pet loves belly rubs, adventure walks, playtime, or just having a new best friend to hang out with, we’ll get along great! 🐾 I’ve had dogs basically my whole life and have cared for pups of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and dietary needs (currently with my own doodle and Aussie mix with food sensitivities). Whether your dog is a zoomies champion or a professional couch potato, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I’m also the proud parent of two very spoiled black tuxedo cats, so I know cats are the ones who really run the house. 😸 I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, enrichment, and respecting every cat’s unique personality—whether they want endless playtime or prefer to supervise me from across the room. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with plenty of love, patience, treats (if allowed!), cuddles, and attention. My goal is for your pets to have just as much fun on their staycation as you do on your vacation! ❤️🐶🐱 Im currently working full-time and am looking for some extra babies for me to love on! I have a good support system to help me with my own fur babies and I’d like to be that support for you! Let’s connect! I cannot board in my home as I live in a multi-animal home with five fur babies. However, I can provide care in your home and can follow instructions left by you in order to take care of your fur baby.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - New Salem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

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.
