“June has been great! This is our first stay with June and won’t be our last! Our pup has loved all the attention, walks, and playtime! June has sent lots of pictures and updates too, which I love!”
“Camile and her family were great with our dog. Knowing he was getting loved and played with made us feel so much better about leaving him. We could tell by the pictures and videos she would send that he was well taken care of and was enjoying his time with them.”
“Shaedyn was amazing! Charlie was happy, healthy, fed, and entertained. She sent great photos of their adventures and we will absolutely be contacting her in the future for more stays. Thanks a lot!”
“Megan (and her family) were awesome with my dog, Diesel. He is an older chocolate lab with some special needs, yet she was very happy to accommodate him. We did a "trial" night before his actual stay and even though Diesel snipped at her own dog, she was still willing to take him! I've left him at dog kennels or with other people before, but I've never been as satisfied with his care before now. Megan sent me pictures and a little report during the three days I was gone which was very much appreciated. You won't find a better person to care for your dog (or cats if she does them) than Megan!! She definitely knows what she's doing!! Thank you, Megan! Emily”
“What a great stay for our 7 1/2 month old puppy! We were visiting our new granddaughter and needed a place for her to stay - when we picked her up she was happy and tired! A great combo - will be back the next time we are in Idaho for sure!”
About: I worked at Yellowstone Bear World for 5 years with all kinds of animals! I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks, and more! I have always been surrounded with pets and currently we have 4 cats and had 2 older dogs that have since passed!! I have taken care of my siblings animals and am comfortable with all sizes and kinds of pets! I grew up in Rexburg, and am currently a college student at BYUI! So I will have plenty of time to give your pets lots of love and care in between and after classes! Since I’ve grown up with animals, I have been tasked with taking care of our neighbors pets and my older siblings pets! Dog-walks, playing, and so much more! I’ll keep them company and make sure they are comfortable, safe, and having fun!
“Our experience with Merilee was fantastic. I would recommend her to anyone I know that needs a dog-sitter. Loved the daily pictures of her and I can tell that my dog was having so much fun. It took the worry completely away from us while we were gone.”
“Jaylinntook great care of my dog. I had to go out of town for two weeks and was very worried he wouldn't do well, but she took such great care of him. And he loved the other dogs and time he got to spend with everyone.”
“Charmaine did an excellent job of keeping me informed during Chief's visit. He has not cared for sitters in the past, and today he came home in excellent spirits! He was well taken care of while we were out of town and she gave me great peace of mind. We will use her next time we travel. Thanks so much Charmaine!”
“Becky is friendly, sweet, and professional. She handled the drop off so well and knew how to slowly introduce her own dogs to mine. I received daily updates and pictures and really felt like she helped make my dog feel right at home. We’ll be back for sure!”
“Tearra was wonderful with my cat! I’d use her again and again. Her updates made me miss my baby a little less for sure. Tearra was great about sending pics, videos and communication. Highly recommend!”
“Kortni was phenomenal with my senior dog, Mamut. She treated her with so much love and care and kept me updated with pics and news. Mamut has gotten a bit more anxious as she has aged and Kortni was very understanding and compassionate for my ole gal. Thank you Kortni! I appreciate you so much!”
“Megan stepped in to care for our two dogs with very little notice when we had an emergency. She took wonderful care of them and responded in a very timely manner when we contacted her during the week. She sent some cute pictures too!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
Antoinette and her husband were amazing with our dog, Milo. He is super shy, but they were so patient, gentle, and kind with him. They sent lots of sweet pictures, and I could tell he felt really comfortable and relaxed in their home, which means so much to me. They were both so caring and attentive. I would definitely trust them to watch him again.

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.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 ID 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.
