“Natali was able to take Chunk for a last minute visit and she could not have been more wonderful! Chunk had a great weekend with her and she was flexible, attentive, and took such great care of him.”

“She took such great care of Remi and we felt so at ease, even though it was the first time we’ve had our pup stay with someone else. We loved the updates and photos and will definitely be using Gienna again!”


“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 💯”

“Kristin was so great with our dog bailey and took excellent care of her. She was able to get her out of her shell and acting like herself in no time at all. She was really good at making bailey feel like she was at home. Communication was great and I loved all the pictures and video of bailey while we were away. We would definitely recommend having her stay with her again.”


“Carol and her family are lovely! They took such great care of Stevie. I got a lot of pictures, great communication, updates and was relieved that Stevie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Carol.”

“Our dog Eevee had such a good time staying here and playing with Igo. Wonderful to get updates on how she was doing and to see that she had a great time and lots of fresh air in the fenced backyard! Thank you for following her feeding schedule, for grooming her and brushing her teeth and taking such good care of our girl 🤗”

“Paloma Was absolutely amazing! She took my pup into her home and was just so kind. She sent photos, made sure that my puppy was having a wonderful time, and was incredibly responsive! I’m pretty sure when I came to get him he was having so much fun that he didn’t want to leave. I recommend Paloma to anyone who wants their pet to feel love and appreciated in your absence. Your pet will be in amazing hands”


“Mia had the best stay! I got the most adorable photos and videos, as well as updates throughout the weekend, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable she was. Mia absolutely loved playing with her puppy, Lola, and the videos of them together were the cutest. It was clear that Mia was treated like part of the family and got so much attention and affection. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I’m so lucky to have found Nikki and would absolutely recommend her!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have had three Shar Pei of my own. Shar Pei can be a challenging breed, and all three of mine experienced health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, including administering medications. I no longer have a dog in my home and have recently been dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I decided it was time to expand! I truly enjoy having dogs around, taking them for walks and giving them plenty of attention. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, not a guest. I work outside of the home during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. When I’m home, your dog will be right there with me as part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your dog can safely spend time outside, and there are currently no other pets living in my home. This allows me to give your dog lots of individual attention and makes my home a comfortable option for dogs who may prefer not to be around other animals. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for dogs with health issues and special needs. I’ll also follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping and medication routine as closely as possible. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“We found Zwany & Leandro after our regular Dog sitter moved away - and they are such a gem! Super communicative, extremely responsible but easy-going at the same time, and very sweet with the pups. You can tell this is truly what they love to do. They were also very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans suddenly changed which was super appreciative. They are awesome!!”

“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.”

“Marge loved staying the weekend at Jodi’s! Jodi sent tons of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Marge got to play with other dogs and swim! We definitely will use Jodi again in the future.”

“Lorraine and Pat are such wonderful people with a beautiful home and family. Words can never be enough to describe how wonderful they were to our dogs. We feel very lucky that we have found them. They took our dogs out to the beach, treated them like they were their own and were able to enjoy them like we do. Lorraine sent us pictures and videos everyday which we enjoyed allot. All in all, if you are looking for a wonderful family to look after your pets for a day or even longer, this is the people to go to. Thanks so much Lorraine and Pat!!!!”

“We recently left our dog with Jing for a long weekend and everything went great. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pics/videos through the few days. Will definitely be having ourdog stay with her again”

Mirellys took great care of our puppy. It was his first time he stayed away from home for 2 weeks. She sent lots of updates & pictures. He was well cared for by the time she spent with him & grooming & playing. We felt very peaceful & happy while we were away & put dog was so happy when he saw us & also gave Mirellys lots of affection before we took him home.

Fae and Joe did an amazing job as always! We got wonderful daily updates with pictures and videos. Our dog came back happy, healthy, and pampered. When our trip got unexpectedly extended, they didn’t hesitate to keep our dog for a few extra days giving us peace of mind.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Salem is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $88 per night. On Rover, sitters 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 October 2026, there are 3,716 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 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.
94% of sitters in Salem can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
