About: I've lived with and worked with many pets, especially dogs and cats of all sorts of breeds and sizes. I know many of their behaviors and needs, and I can give medications like pills and clip dog nails. I worked at a five star boarding and daycare, where I learned most of my skills. I am at college and am looking for a way to spend some quality time with animals like I did at home. I also hope to earn money and have a great time with other pet owner's dog or cat (or other)! For my three cats back at home, I helped empty the litterbox, refill water jugs, and fed them twice a day, as needed. Around lunch, I've learned that my cats find this time their snuggle hours, so when I was home I'd go and snuggle them. When at a client's home I take their dogs out and play with them and spend quality time with them until I leave. I make sure they have sufficient water and are fed when needed. I've had to clean up messes, that of which I can handle cleaning up.
About: I have been living and caring for pets for the past sixteen years. I have experience with all kinds of pets including dogs, cats, birds, horses, guinea pigs, turtles, and lizards. Not only have I been caring for my own pets all my life, but I have been trusted on multiple occasions to watch, feed, and walk many of my friend's and neighbor's pets. I am a college student who only spends a few hours in class a week. This means that I have nothing but time to spend with and care for your pet(s). I am available every day of the week, including weekends. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I can't wait to meet you and your pet(s)! I am not able to bring your pet to my home because of my living circumstances. However, I am happy to come to you. I will obey and respect your every wish about how you would like your pet(s) to be cared for.
About: Dogs have been there my whole life and taking care of them brings me joy! I am very patient, loving and attentive to their needs. I am working a part-time job, I choose my hours so I have a flexible schedule for dependable and reliable pet care throughout the week. My yard has no fence which is perfect for trained dogs to not run away. I stay outside with them and provide attentive fun pet care.
About: I have taken care of large and small animals my entire life. I have experience in training and wound care if necessary. If your dog is social and you are interested I can bring along my Golden Retriever to get out all the zoomies. I’m currently working part time from home giving me a lot of flexibility to assist your pet whenever suits your needs. You make the schedule, I’ll stick to it :) I am happy to play fetch, walk, or run with your dog at your home or around the neighborhood. I am open to multiple dog households as well.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. They make me so happy! I’ll respect your rules and treat your animal like it’s my own! I currently work in the morning, so taking care of animals is something I would have more time doing in the afternoon or evenings! I’m super flexible! I care for animals by playing with them, feeding them, and taking them on walks. I like to make sure they are happy and comfortable in their environment.
About: I've grown up around two cats (short hair male and long hair female), birds (parakeets), and leopard geckos (one male one female). I have dogsat a variety of sizes (including a female husky) and did some dog walking a few years ago (a pit bull female) I currently work less than full time and go to college less than full time so I have a fairly open and flexible schedule, to make it slightly easier with planning I work I would be available everyday besides Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am flexible in availability and can follow any special instructions you may have about your pets specific needs, even weird quirky routines they may have! I am very adaptable and more than willing to stay with you pets or animals at your home or just drop in and check on them when needed!

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.
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 your 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 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 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.
