“My dog has separation anxiety and Julia gives him the attention and love he needs to feel comfortable while I'm gone. I love that she has a fenced in yard so my dog can sniff around safely and enjoy the sunshine!”
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. I always prioritize the safety, well-being and happiness of each animal, adapting to their individual needs. I also have experience taking care of the elderly. " "Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I dedicate specific time for walks, feeding, games and supervision, making sure that each pet receives constant attention, exercise and affection, without affecting my other responsibilities." "When I take care of pets in my home, I create a safe, clean and comfortable environment, making sure they have fresh water, food, exercise and daily playtime. At the client's home, I follow all his specific instructions to maintain the pet's routine, respecting his habits and individual needs."
“We have now left our boy with Jade a few times and Jade has been absolutely amazing with our pup! She is so caring and we know our boy is not the easiest, as loving as he is, and Jade always has good things to say which is all we can hope for! Thank you Jade. Looking forward to the next visit!”
“Natasha was a great sitter for Cujo! She was very responsive, flexible with our timing, and showed a lot of care for our pup. She sent video and picture updates and gave him a lot of play time outside! Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a caring sitter.”
“Lorraine and her family are awesome! She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my pup’s stay and I felt he was in a very safe and happy environment. We will definitely be working with Lorraine again!”
About: I love being surrounded by animals and have been around pets my entire life. For a long time now, I’ve been rescuing lost dogs and helping them find safe, loving homes. Currently, I have three dogs and a cat at my country house, as well as a 10-year-old senior dog at home. One of my dogs in the countryside is partially blind, and I'm the one who takes care of his special needs. This has given me great hands-on experience with senior and special-needs pet care. Spanish is my native language, and my home is fully bilingual! My kids are completely fluent in English and are always here to help with communication for all booking details and updates. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I am at home all day. My daily life revolves around taking care of my dog, maintaining our home, and waiting for my husband and children to return from work and school. Currently, my daughter is starting college this August, so I am looking for extra income to help pay for her tuition. This work is a perfect match for me because it naturally aligns with my everyday schedule, allowing me to give visiting pets full-time attention, love, and constant companionship. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I spend my entire day at home, your pet will have constant presence and attention, a safe outdoor space, quiet walks and specialized care experience.
“Mandy is a fantastic dog sitter and I definitely recommend her! She took such great care of our goldendoodle, Sadie. She sent many adorable pictures of their adventures and we were so glad to see she was having a great time with Mandy!”
About: I know that every pet has their own individual needs, like you or me. I have experience with potty training puppies and senior dogs, and I love them all the same. I am available on short notice any day after 1:30! For earlier I require 48 hours in advance :), but with that being said I love a good morning walk. Just have to plan it!! I look forward to communicating with every client to learn the best way I can care for their pet in their absence. My values are in transparency and care!
“Paula was super knowledgeable and overall great! I loved all the pictures she sent while my pup was with her for the day and my dog came home happy and tired from all the playing! We can't wait for her next visit!”
About: I've had many different pets my whole life! Anything from dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots etc! I'm a big animal lover and would love to extend my care and time to more animals! I’m currently working part time hours so I have a lot of availability and free time to spend with your pet. I’m rarely out for long hours and make sure to be home when a pet is scheduled for my care. I live on a non-busy street with a big wooded yard on two acres. It's not fenced in but I have a fenced in tennis court where animals can run free if they need exercise. I have a little shih tzu who couldn't be more gentle, loving, calm, and behaved. She roams free but I have big and small crates if you prefer your pet to be in a crate. Whatever specific requests you have I'll happily follow so your pet gets the best care that you can trust.
“My dog Toby is always nervous meeting new people. Ana was very patient and within minutes Toby adjusted. We will be bringing Toby back on regular basis. Love the pictures during his stay makes you feel connected.”
“Caroline was an excellent dogsitter for our dog Charlie! She sent lots of pics and updates which made us feel so relived. She took him in several walks and took care of all of his needs. So grateful for Caroline, can’t wait for Charlie’s next stay!”
“Ying is so sweet to our pup and makes sure she has everything she needs throughout the day. We love receiving photos and updates and Ying is great with them. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Vanessa and her partner took excellent care of my puppy Mochi. They frequently sent me pictures and videos of their little adventures with Mochi, and kept me up to date on the little one's endeavor. By the end of the stay, my little Mochi was giving them goodbye kisses and I could tell she had a wonderful time. I could not be happier with the care Mochi received and I am finally relieved to have found someone who can wonderfully care for my puppy in my absence.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
Kristin has been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Ollie! 🐶❤️ From the very beginning, she has been caring, reliable, patient, and attentive to his needs. Ollie is still a puppy, so he has lots of energy and is still learning, but Kristin has been so great with him. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that when Ollie is with her, he is safe, happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. Ollie is always happy to see Kristin, which says everything! We feel very lucky to have found someone we can trust with him and would absolutely recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Kristin, for taking such great care of our Ollie! 🐾❤️
I can not say enough good things about Mirellys! What drew my eye to her at first was the price, which was very reasonable. She responded to my inquiry right away. The meet and greet went great. Mirellys home is clean, organized and smelled amazing; surprisingly for having so many different dogs in and out of her house! She sent pictures and videos throughout the day too. She is so sweet, very personable and gives all the attention and love a puppy and/or dog could want. My puppy, Jubilee is just 4 months old and Mirellys was great with her during the meet and greet.
I love that you were able to take my puppy in on such a short notice. You were able to update me throughout the day. I’ve never left my baby with anyone, and of course I was nervous. Thank you. Such a life saver. If I come back again this way and need a sitter, I know who to contact!
Beth was great and my dog came home a very happy pup! When we arrived, she had already familiarized herself with his diet instructions, which gave me peace of mind from the start. She also sent regular updates and a photo during the stay. We’ll definitely book with Beth again!
We can’t say enough good things about AnnMarie! She took incredible care of our 10-week-old puppy, Sally, while I was traveling for work. Sally was too young for regular doggy daycare, and AnnMarie stepped in so she wouldn’t have to be alone for long stretches while her dad was at work. As first-time Rover users and first-time puppy parents, we were understandably nervous leaving her for the first time, but AnnMarie immediately put us at ease. She treated Sally like her own pup, gave her so much love and attention, and kept us updated throughout the day, which meant everything to us. Sally had a great time and was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so grateful we found AnnMarie. Highly, highly recommend!
Tina was the literal best! She made sure Pawl was well taken care of with treats and snuggles. She also sent us sweet pictures of pawl living his best life. She was also so kind, and let us park in her driveway so we didn’t have to deal with Salem traffic/parking on Halloween night! Thank you, Tina!!!

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
