“I think my dog likes Liz more than me! He was happy to see me again and to come home, but if he could have, he would have moved her and her place in next door to us. Liz is gentle, picks up on important cues from the dogs, is thorough and just great. There was a complication in our premade arrangements with another sitter the night before we were scheduled to fly out of the country that could have ruined our 2 week honeymoon in Japan. Liz really stepped up for Rover and for us. She’s the very best.”

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."

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have cared for dogs of different ages and personalities throughout my life. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I’ll treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🏠🐾 Home Boarding I offer a comfortable, loving home environment for small and medium-sized dogs 1 year and older. I keep boarding small and personal, with a maximum of two dogs at a time, so each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and socialization. I’m happy to care for dogs who enjoy having other dogs around, as well as dogs who are more comfortable being the only dog in my care. Every dog has their own personality and comfort level, and I’m happy to tailor their stay to their individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around. I also have a stroller for dogs who prefer more of a pampered ride around town than a leash walk. Before accepting a new boarding dog, I prefer to have a Meet & Greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable in my home and that we’re a good fit. If an in-person meeting isn’t convenient, I’m also happy to arrange a Zoom/video call first. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️ I’m am very reliable and available for pet care on my days off, including Mondays,Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays . I can also open additional days on my calendar when I’m available. I enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. For drop-in visits, I provide care in your home and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your dog is safe and comfortable, keep doors and gates secure, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home.

“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!”

About: I started taking care of dogs when my friends/family asked if I could help out. This all started because I love dogs and cats. Since then, I've cared for all breeds, sizes and personalities; from energetic pups to sweet seniors. I'm comfortable working with high energy dogs and quiet older dogs. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. I am extremely attentive to every dog's unique needs and your dog will be treated like family with me, if you give me the opportunity. My favorite part of pet sitting is getting to know each furry friend and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, since I work from home most of the time. This allows me to give plenty of time and attention to your dog throughout the day, including a walk every few hours and exercise tailored to your dog's energy level. Whether your pup loves long walks or quick play breaks, I make sure their needs are met with lots of love and care. I currently work part time and have the flexibility to walk and care for your dog/dogs all day/night. What sets me apart from other people, is I really enjoy the different personalities of every dog I meet. I do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a fenced in yard that's perfect for daily fun. At home, I can provide a crate for pups who enjoy having their own cozy safe space. I maintain a calm low traffic home, so your pet gets a consistent, stress free environment. Whatever your dog does at your house, I can replicate at my house. I will follow your rules for your dog. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and loving space where every pup is treated like my own.

“I can’t recommend her enough! Leaving my pup is never easy, but she made the entire experience stress-free from start to finish. She took the time to get to know my pup and understand her personality and needs, rather than treating her like just another dog. From the pics my pup ckearly had so much fun on her walks and adventures, and I really appreciated the regular photos, videos, and updates throughout her stay. It was such a comfort to see how happy and relaxed she was, and it was clear she was getting plenty of attention and affection. The biggest bonus was that she somehow got my notoriously picky husky to eat her meals! That alone says a lot about how comfortable and well cared for my pup felt. It’s clear Jodi genuinely loves the dogs and treats every dog like her own. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care and peace of mind.”

“Chanel was an amazing host for our senior Shih Tsu, Kody. She made Kody feel right at home. She’s a natural caregiver, but also followed all the instructions and care tips we provided (morning meds, feeding, walks, etc.). Chanel was super communicative and made sure that we were updated during Kody’s stay. What a relief for us! (Thank you, Chanel. We’ll be back).”

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.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Salem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Salem on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

There are 3,781 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Salem. About 90% of Salem sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 pet, 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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
