“David was amazing and my Mille had a wonderful time while I was away. He updated with photos and videos and let us know how she was doing, him and his family is great and if we ever need a sitter again, we will make sure to call David 😊”
“Olympia always has so much fun at Natasha and Jon’s house! They are totally on top of her allergy meds and send tons of photos which is great. She comes home a very happy girl.”
“Jennifer was lovely! Very caring and sent us lovely photos and reassurance that Goose was being extremely well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Jasmine was wonderful with my dog, Kane. Shared pictures and videos daily how Kane was acclimating to his new environment. Will book for my next travel without a doubt. Thanks Jasmine and family!”
“We continue to be very happy with Paul and Megan’s care of our senior dog, Kenobi. They go above and beyond and we are always confident he is in good hands. Communication is excellent and we always get nice updates with pictures or videos. We will continue booking with them as much as we can!”
“Freddi and her boyfriend are such caring dog sitters. It’s obvious that they loves the dogs a lot, often taking them on long walks to tire them out and having them play. They are very attentive and patient, often updating me about the dogs and even offering suggestions on changing their food intake after doing some research. Our dogs were very happy and healthy when we went to pick them up, and even kind of sad to leave. It’s clear that they had a great time at Freddi’s by their smiles and tail wags. I would highly recommend this family if you’re going away for vacation—they are patient, kind, and very caring! 10/10 experience.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ana and would absolutely book with her again! She was fantastic with communication, sending daily updates and pictures that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog happened to be going through one of her picky eating phases during our trip, and she went above and beyond to help. She tried different bowls, chopped up the turkey we had left as a topper and mixed it into her food, and was so patient and creative in trying to get her to eat. It was clear she genuinely cared about our dog’s well-being. She also took her on multiple walks each day and made sure she got plenty of attention and exercise. On top of that, she was incredibly accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up schedule, which made the entire experience stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Brooke watched our two pups for a long weekend and they both came back completely wiped out from the fun they had. She was very accommodating with our schedule as we had to drop them off very early and pick them up very late. Thank you again!”
“Andre took great care of Coogie over the weekend, and he came home happy and tired from the stay. Andre was super communicative, and sent a bunch of videos of a very happy dog adventures. We’ll definitely plan on coming back the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Jade is an exceptional trainer and caretaker. She took excellent care of our somewhat reactive dog with complete confidence. She immediately put our dog at ease. Highly recommended!”
“Moxie had a great time at Lori and Bill's house. She loved running around the fenced backyard and playing with the other dogs. They take care to care for only friendly dogs, so I felt comfortable that there wouldn't be any problems. Someone is home almost all the time, so Moxie was never alone. It is a very dog-friendly house and it's obvious how much Lori and Bill love the dogs that visit.”
“Yenny and her family where extremely amazing 🥰 my Winnie was happy being around them for being her first time spending the night out of her comfort 🩷🫶🏼 she did well I will definitely book again in near future with yenny. Definitely recommend her 💯”
“Mirellys was AMAZING!! Super sweet and so loving with my pup. Sent me so many updates and photos to help me feel more comfortable. Will use her over and over again if I can. So grateful for all of your help you truly are amazing! Tysm!!”
“Samantha and her family loved Willow like one of their own! I would send her back any time. They were also extremely understanding and flexible when our flight home was delayed and we had to adjust our pickup time several hours later.”
“Julia has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Scooby! Since the very first sitting, I’ve used her multiple times, and every experience has been consistently great. She is incredibly flexible, reliable, and you can truly tell how much she loves and cares for animals. She always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. She goes above and beyond—gave him a bath, patiently tried trimming his nails (even though he’s not used to it), and even gifted him a bone, which was such a thoughtful touch. Scooby always comes back happy, clean, and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found her—highly, highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring sitter!”
“Nice communications and Brewster was happy at drop-off, in pictures and at pickup. We had problems getting back and Hyesun and Bob were very accommodating as we were stuck overnight at an airport hotel! Location is wonderful for a dog as the walks in this part of Marblehead provide quiet streets and variety of sniffing :)”
“Michelle took care of my dogs over Easter weekend while we were traveling out of state. We have a 95 pound 9 month old puppy (who definitely still has some puppy behaviors) and an adult 75 pound mixed breed who is sometimes particular with which dogs he wants to play with. Both my dogs did great at Michelle's house and she sent pictures and gave updates daily which was greatly appreciated! My dogs were happy when I picked them up and spent the whole day sleeping when we got home. We're already planning their next stay with Michelle and her family when we go away in a few months!”

Jade stepped in at the last minute to help us when our other booking fell through - a huge help! She has a very structured environment for the dogs and provides expert training to help them with anything they're unfamiliar with (like sleeping in crates). She is a very caring and knowledgeable boarding provider.
Kyli provided excellent dog boarding. Her outstanding care, clear communication, and welcoming family environment gave total peace of mind, ensuring our dog had an amazing time and felt right at home. Our dog Nia returned happy and relaxed, she even came home with a new toy that she is obsessed with :)
Mirellys is who I can say went above and beyond when taking care of my dog for 3 weeks. She treated her like her own and provided her with all the love and attention. Mirellys also provided plenty of updates via pictures and photos everyday. Needless to say I won’t hesitate in becoming a client again. Thanks Mirellys
David was wonderful! Communicative, patient, kind. It was only for about 9 hours, but he went above and beyond to watch and care for our dog. He shared several pictures, and gave proactive updates, and was quick to answer during and leading up to our dog's stay. I would whole-heartedly recommend David.
Hyesun and Robert are fantastic. We will definitely use them again whenever our dogs need someplace to stay. They had multiple walks each day. Lots of playtime even had another dog that stayed there that our youngest dog is now best friends with. Lots of photos to keep us updated which we really appreciated. Highest recommendation for very very happy puppies.
Paloma is absolutely fantastic, I wish I had found her sooner. I left my girl with her for a weekend so I could go away. Her home is perfect for any pet to live their best life. She was so attentive and caring. I was nervous about the fireworks scaring my girl and Paloma was careful to make sure she was as comfortable as possible which put this crazy dog moms heart at ease. Will definitely use her in the future.
We used Sam to board our dog Mia for the first time recently, and she was absolutely amazing! We just adopted Mia two months ago (she’s a rescue from the south), so we were super nervous about leaving her for a week. At the dog hotel we used to use for our other pup, they literally charged us $4 per photo and we constantly had to beg them for updates. Sam was the exact opposite. Right from the meet-and-greet, she was so attentive and asked tons of questions to make sure she knew exactly how to give Mia the best care. While we were gone, she sent so many updates and pictures without us even having to ask, which gave us total peace of mind. She even handled Mia's allergy medication which was another concern of ours. Plus, her dog Poppy is the absolute cutest and friendliest pup ever! If want someone who will actually give you pup personal, hands-on love and attention, you need to book Sam.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Salem on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,720 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Salem sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Salem landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 MA 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.
