“Courtney was great, very responsible, always in communication and took great care of my dog. I was very happy with the job she performed and would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else. five stars”
About: I am a very responsible and loving pet owner. Growing up around cats and dogs my entire life, I understand that each pet has their own unique needs. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. :) I am currently a med student, so my schedule is very flexible. I hope to work with you to best meet you and your pets needs. I currently have two cats, so providing care for your pet in my home may not be the best option depending on your pets comfort level. If I were to care for your pet in your home, I will respect your home and ensure your pet is cared for in any way needed.
About: I am a kennel/vet technician, and I have been working in animal care clinics since 2017. I can administer medications and insulin, give baths and toe nail trims, as well as anal glad expression! I am excited to work with your babies! I am available for all services I have listed any day of the week! I can’t wait to build relationships with you and your babies I have a 6ft wooden fenced in back yard, along with three friendly pups of my own. If for any reason they do not get along or if you wish for your babies to be separate from mine, my backyard is separated into two areas, so I can close one gate door and the pups will not see each other !
About: Animals, specifically dogs and cats, have always been a key part of my life. I have a black lab of my own named Indy and she is my pride and joy. There are also several other dogs and cats within my inner circle that I absolutely adore. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your baby, and I would treat yours with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m dependable and comfortable following even the most elaborate routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, recovery restrictions, or lots of extra cuddles. I also have several close friends and family members who work in veterinary medicine, including my cousin who is currently in her third year of veterinary school and is always just a phone call away. My schedule is extremely flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs rather than expecting their routine to fit around mine. Pets in my home will be treated just like my own—with lots of love, attention, and plenty of cuddles! The dogs in my home are very friendly and accustomed to being around other animals. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and at home as possible while they’re with me. Pets are welcome on the furniture and beds in my home, especially if that’s what they’re used to at home. If your pet is crate-trained or you prefer them to be crated at certain times, I also have a kennel available and am happy to follow their normal routine.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have always had pets of my own. While I haven’t worked professionally with animals before, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, along with 3 hamsters and a bunny. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for multiple animals with different personalities and needs. I can feed, walk, bathe, play with, and give plenty of attention to your pets, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine or instructions you have for them. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away! 🐶🐱💕 I’m an independent contractor with Walmart Spark, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Since I’m not tied to a typical 9–5 work schedule, I’m able to work around your schedule and be available when you need me. I can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, walks, and visits, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both of us! I currently only offer pet care in the client’s home. I think pets are usually most comfortable staying in their own environment, where they know their surroundings and can stick to their normal routine. I’m happy to care for all kinds of pets and will follow your instructions to make sure they get everything they need, whether that’s feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, or anything else. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pets are doing well!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. The availability I have is on weekends and after 4 pm on weekdays, available holidays. Stay overnight and accept long-term stays (longer than one week). I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!
About: I’ve watched dogs for as long as i can remember. Even when my parents went out of town I was always in charge of watching the dogs. For many summers, I have pet sat for all kinds of dogs. I’m looking forward to helping this summer too! I’m currently home for the summer! I just finished up my freshman year of college and I have plenty of time and availability for animals!! I care for pets by checking in every couple hours and also by making sure to spend a substantial amount of time with the animals while they are under my care.
About: I've taken care of dogs for family and friends for my whole life. I also worked as a dog groomer. I am trained to see emergencies in dogs and understand their body language and boundaries to keep us both safe. I am currently working remotely so I can be with your pets at any time. I do have pets myself I will be checking in on! I can crate your dog if needed, keep them leashed or in your yard. Same with cats. I'll work with you and the animal to keep them safe and happy.
About: My goal is to gain more hands-on experience caring for large dogs. I've been around large breeds throughout my life, as many of my friends and family have owned them. I'm already comfortable interacting with bigger dogs and have experience walking, feeding, and helping care for them. I'm excited to build on that experience and become an even more confident and knowledgeable caregiver. I’m currently working part time in Little Rock, and I’m also a full time online college student. My schedule will be flexible enough for me to look after your dog for a day or two! When I’m with your dog, they are my top priority. I will keep an eye on them and keep them company at all times, and of course give them all the love they deserve.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive and dependable, and I’ll always keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and happy. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and my goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both of you! So i currently am i xray tech and ma at Baptist urgent care in Little Rock, and my schedule is put out to where i work a couple days in a row, and then I’m off for a couple days and I get bored with those days I’m off and I want something I love to do! So in my house I have 3 dogs, I have a fenced in yard and I also have sun shade around my entire fence! My top priority is my dogs safety no matter what! And with someone’s else’s babies their safety always comes first!
About: I love all animals of course! I personally have two cats and a big dog myself. I have had animals of all kinds growing up and love all like they’re my own! I can’t wait to become your animals best friend😊 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care throughout the day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, so I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays while making sure pets get plenty of attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow their routine, constant supervision, keep their environment clean and secure, and make sure they have plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I’ll also respect your home, follow any special instructions, and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Salem is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Salem. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Salem after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salem. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
