“Could not wish for a better sitter for my babies!!!! This is our second time with Hannah and I can’t say enough great things about the experiences. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own. She’s amazing to send pics and videos as well. Highly, highly recommend!!!!!!”
“Joanne was the best!!! This is the first time leaving our pup with anyone and the experience was wonderful. Joanne took great care of Toby, sent photos and videos daily and even gave him a bath!!! We couldn’t ask for better. Thank you Joanne.”
“Kierra is great! This was the second time she has boarded my cats and they have loved it both times. They feel right at home. She communicates as needed and sends pictures if you want them. She is also very flexible and accommodating. Highly recommend!”
“Sergey and Lana took great care of our puppy while we went on a trip. Zoe seemed to have a great time and they even took her to the lake! They were very responsive and we really appreciated all the pictures they sent us of her days with them!”
“Amber is our go to for pet sitting! She is always so accommodating for drop off/pick up and never fails to give us updates on our pup while we are gone. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Tristen did a great job keeping Ms. Allie. She is known for hiding. She found a hiding place underneath Kristen's bed but she her space and she could see the food and water. After she received a treat and everything was good. Kristen sent clips show she was petting her. I will use Kristen again for Mrs Allie. I got a chance to relax on my trip and not worry about Ms. Allie.”
“Jessica took such good care of my spoiled pup who is never away from me. It’s nice to know Bella has a place to stay if we need one. Being able to stay and sit with people on the couch and get covered up with her blanky at night and sleep next to people is much better than being boarded somewhere.”
“Madi was incredible! She took great care of our pups and sent plenty of updates and pictures. So many times when you return home from a trip your pups are just reserved. Not with this experience, you could tell they were well cared for and had a great time. I would highly recommend Madi to anyone who is looking for quality care for your pups!”
About: I have taken care of many rescues puppies to seniors that need extra care throughout my life. From my own to friends and families pets as well. I work part-time as a personal trainer with a flexible schedule that lets me be home when I need. I still have pets of my own so I schedule around them. I have a fenced yard and two dogs of my own so your pet doesn’t have to be alone. We are also close to a park for walks. I also have kennels if your dog prefer a safe space for themselves.
“I quickly realized that i had found a get fit for Rocket. She accepted to care for him on short notice. She was constantly sending pics and updating me. It was a great comfort while i was in the hospital. Thank you!”
“Have found my reliable Rover home for Harley! William and Natalie communicate effectively and consistently, they provide ample opportunity to feel like your pet is going to a safe home and they ask questions to make sure they get it right. They have a big backyard which any dog would love but walks and hikes are still included nonetheless! Every time I pick up Harley from their house I feel like he had an opportunity to practice some social skills with their dog, and that makes me feel good about my own dog’s growth. They really make an effort to help Harley feel comfortable in their home; their love for pets is pretty evident.”
“Gail was excellent! The love she has for animals is so vibrant and she took great care of my Baxter. She kept me updated as needed and made him feel right at home. I would most definitely recommend if you want someone that will treat them like their own!”
“I adopted Scooby three months ago and this was his first time being away from me and my first time using Rover. Azalea was amazing! She updated me regularly and sent pics. Due to winter weather our plans changed several times and Azalea was understanding and flexible. Could tell Scooby felt at ease in her home! Will definitely use her again!!”
“Kristen took such great care of my senior yorkie! He was happy and comfortable with her, and we were not worried about him at all! I will definitely use her again for boarding.”
“Jill has found a second home! We love Miss Rhonda. My husband took Jill to Rhonda's for a pre-stay visit. When it was time, it was a simple drop off and pick up. Her fur babies are so sweet. Rhonda sent several pictures of Jill making herself right at home. We highly recommend Rhonda! We will be back!!! We will send family members to Rover.com and Rhonda!!!”
About: I am so kind and considerate of the dog and the dog owner’s needs and will treat them better than my own dogs. My dogs are like my children. I always will be here to care for the dogs as if they were human. Ive always helped my moms friends with their dogs and they loved me. We would go on walks and I have always stayed the weekends if they needed me. Animals have always been something that I will always take care of.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
My dogs were extremely well cared for and If I need boarding again she will get my business. She was very accommodating and friendly both she and her husband loved having my two dogs a longhaired chihuahua and a mini schnauzer. She has a great area for them to play etc.
Hannah & Monarch did a meet & greet, when the weekend came the transition went smoothly. Hannah took Monarch outside while I was leaving to distract him. I received pics the entire time, he was allowed to sleep on the bed. This was important because it is just me & Monarch & our cat. It was the perfect set up. Will definitely use Hannah again
Hannah is absolutely incredible!!! She kept my dachshunds for a long weekend and I couldn’t be happier!!! She treated both my babies as though they were her own. She was great in sending me updates and pics regularly. I will definitely choose Hannah every time I need a sitter!!!! Highly recommend!!!!
Hannah went above and beyond taking care of our pup! We booked very last minute and she didn’t mind at all. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day. Our pup loved playing with her dogs as well! I felt very confident when she showed me around, she has a very safe environment complete with lots of doggy toys! 😉 She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up time! Would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Salem is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $44 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.
As of November 2026, there are 190 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
97% of sitters in Salem 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 Salem 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 Salem.
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 Salem. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Salem 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 AR 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.
