Amazing! So grateful to Tracy, she accepted my request very last minute when my original dog sitter ended up not showing up. She walked them, brushed them, gave them cuddles and truly went above and beyond. Thank you so much for making sure my babies were taken care of!

Xinia was amazing to work with, she went above and beyond for us while we were out of town for the holiday weekend. We were super happy with her communication and with her care for our pups. Would definitely recommend and will book again!

Caitlyn was amazing with my two cats! She was prompt, caring, and had great communication. She even won over the trust of my not so friendly feline ?. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!

About: I've worked with dogs for 7 years now. Helping family and friends with pet care and training as well as eventually branching out to occasionally taking dog training clients. I am currently studying with the International School of Canine Psychology and would love to make dog training and walking a full time business. I foster as well! I am currently studying with the ISCP and taking on private clients so I will be available friday, saturday, and sundays after 11am! In the near future, there will be more days available for services. As a walker, I ensure your dogs safety through gear checks to ensure harnesses or collars fit properly and to make sure the leash is properly attached. I also am very diligent and observant of my surroundings when I'm out with my personal dogs and client dogs. Safety is key! I will also bring a small backpack with water, a collapsible bowl, waste bags, and a small emergency first aid kit for dogs.

About: I have had animals all my life, from dogs to chickens and goats. We have always had at least 2 dogs in the house so I understand the needs and the care treatment they need. I have also had a cat and understand what they need as well. I am not currently working alot of hours so your pets needs will be my number two priority the first priority being your satisfaction of my work. I make sure the animals on my house are fed, watered and let put to use the bathroom when needed as well as make them happy and comfortable and I will do the same for yours!

Taryn did great with our pups. She did exactly what we asked her to with them and gave lots of snuggles. She was also super flexible with us and very respectful of our home, we’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 8 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
