She asks questions and is very understanding of how every dog is unique. You can tell she does this for her love for dogs and it truly shows. I look forward to Elizabeth taking care of Marley in the future!”

About: From 🦀 to 🐴 (but no seahorse experience, sorry) I adore all creatures great and small, “and your little dog too” as someone who didn’t much like to get wet once said! Experienced, sincere and trustworthy housesitter and petsitter but new to this app, I’ll add some of my favorite fur-tography inevitably but many are passed away and it makes me sad. My undivided attention, I’m doing this because I love to, not because I’m bored. It’s worthwhile to me to be of use. To the old fashioned manners born, to treat another’s home with respect and care, to leave any place indoors or out of doors in a golden-rule adjacent way.

About: Welcome! I go by “Nancy!” 🐾🐈🦮 I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have had pets for over 25 years. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, not just a hobby. Over the years I’ve had different kinds of pets, and I currently have two budgies and a betta fish. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and earning their trust at their own pace. I’m naturally attentive and tend to notice when something seems off or when a pet needs a little extra patience and care. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I would care for yours the same way I care for my own. Animals have always been a part of my life. I’m currently a student chaplain, a full-time mom to two girls, and a pet mom to two budgies and a betta fish. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine, and in my free time, I’d love the opportunity to spend time with and care for other pets. While I’m new to this platform offering dog walking services, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. 🐾 I treat every pet as if they were my own. I focus on safe, enjoyable walks, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also provide updates so owners know how their pet is doing.

“Amy was honestly phenomenal. She took great care of my cat child. Truly going above and beyond, treating Booba like her own. She would even use the dust buster around the litter box, which I didn’t expect at all! Booba loved Amy and I would rebook her in a heartbeat. She kept me up to date every visit and sent great pictures. The best service I have ever had for the care of my cat.”

About: “I stand out for my patience and dedication. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, from puppies that need training to older pets that require special attention.

About: Every animal is unique, and I pride myself on understanding your pet's particular set of wants and needs and meeting them where they're at. If your pup is the type that jumps up off the couch to greet every person who walks in the door, I'll return that energy. If, like the Jack Russell I grew up with, they mostly want someone to feed them, walk them, and give them the occasional pet, I'll tend to their needs while giving them the space they want. And if, like my sister's dog, they're anxious about every new face they see, I'll approach them with the tact and patience they need to be comfortable. I've grown up with and cared for dogs for the past twenty years, and I've loved each and every one of them. I have experience caring for both puppies and seniors, walking large and reactive dogs, and administering meds. I do this full time and attend graduate school part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to attend to a wide variety of needs. Your pet's safety is always my number one priority. I like to have a full written list of their needs so that there is no room for confusion and to ensure I know about any quirks of theirs and/or worries of yours. I tend to send updates on a daily basis, but that can always be adjusted to a schedule that works better for you.

About: I’ve always had pets in my family, so I grew up around animals and learned to love and care for them from a young age. Four years ago, I adopted my own pug, and he quickly became part of my everyday life. I love playing with him, feeding him, going on walks, relaxing together, and even taking naps. Having my own pet has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and giving animals lots of love and attention. I would treat your pet with the same care and affection I give my own. I work from 3:00 PM to 11:30 PM, so my mornings are usually open and flexible for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have some weekend availability depending on my work schedule, so feel free to reach out and we can find a time that works! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while I’m with them. I’ll follow their usual routine, keep their food and water fresh, give them plenty of attention, and of course make time for play and cuddles. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s space and personality, so I always try to make them feel relaxed and cared for.

“Ely was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She won over our skittish dog and made sure both were comfortable, fed, medicated, and safe. She has an easy calm demeanor and our dogs trusted her quickly. She kept in touch, answered our questions, and took lots of photos to give us peace of mind. Highly recommend.”

About: I provide dependable, personalized care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own routine. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior pets, and shy or anxious animals. I focus on patience, attention, and clear communication so pet owners always feel informed and at ease. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication support, feeding schedules, or extra comfort for older pets, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits when needed. I make sure each pet gets reliable care, regular exercise, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in my home by abiding by the owner's feeding and snack schedule. I have fenced-in yard for playing. I walk the dogs in my neighborhood or go to a local park. I keep them on a leash, I NEVER let them roam free in a public area.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, and giving snuggles to cats. I'm semi-retired, and have ample time for your doggie or cat. I work 2 twelve hour days a week. Those days vary week to week. This means 5 days a week, I'm free to walk your dog or visit your cat any time of the day. On the days I work, I'm available after 8:00 PM. I will keep your dog on leash at all times, unless you tell me to let them run free at an enclosed dog park. I have a cat, so I'm an expert at not letting them escape when I come in the front door.

About: I am a graduate of the Essex North Shore Companion Animals program where I learned about different enrichment and health care needs for a variety of different animals, as well as have been a loving pet sister to a number of dogs, cats and small rodents! I am currently a full time college student with a part time job, so I do have to be fairly strict on which days I can provide services, but I am very flexible on days that I have available! I am very attentive and love to give your furry friends exercise and enrichment, whether that’s a nice long walk or playtime in the backyard.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Salem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Salem on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 9,264 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Salem stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Salem choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Salem with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salem. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
