“Patrick took great care of Pemi while we were away. It was great to get daily pictures/videos and updates about how he was doing. We would highly recommend Patrick as a dog sitter.”
“My fiancé and I needed accommodations for our pup last minute as we were visiting Salem just for the day, and Hannah was extremely quick to reply and more than incredible with Jojo. She sent us updates and a photo and also took him on a walk. She’s so kind and dependable, and I definitely recommend leaving your pup with her.”
“Julia and her husband were great with our diabetic cat Georgie! We felt at ease leaving him with them at drop off for a week long trip. He needs insulin twice a day and has to eat on a specific schedule, and they were great with this. Julia was very responsive, kept us updated, and sent daily pictures. It was clear from the photos our cat was relaxed and happy during his stay.”
“I couldn't be happier with the service provided. They communicated with me daily for an entire month, sending me pictures and videos of my dog meeting new friends and going on fun long walks! I could tell my Greyson was extremely happy and comfortable and well taken care of every day. They had him for his birthday and they even sang him happy birthday. They are an excellent family with lots of love for animals.”

“This was Mochi's first time stayng with Maryah. I felt that she was definitely in good hands with her. We got daily pictures or videos of Mochi with her own dogs, Lilo and Stitch, and once a weeker, Luna. Super easy for us to get to her place. Would for sure use Maryah in the future.”
About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. In addition to dogs, I’ve cared for cats, fish, rodents, and farm animals, so I’m comfortable working with a wide range of pets and their unique needs. I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from high-energy puppies to more anxious or senior animals who need a gentler approach. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m very communicative and will keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines, training preferences, or care instructions to keep things consistent for your pet. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnights, I treat every pet like they’re my own and genuinely enjoy getting to know their personalities. If your dog stays with me, he/she will be in great company with my resident dog, Kimchi! For days that I’m available to provide doggy daycare services, I work from home and I’m able to accommodate your dog’s specific scheduling needs, including potty breaks walks, and medication routine needs. I have a friendly resident dog who will keep your dog good company while he or she stays with us. I always follow your care instructions and will never take dogs off leash. I am located in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of space for nice, long walks.
“Hunter had a great overnight stay with John. John took him on several walks and made sure he was fed and comfortable. Our dog sometimes gets anxious and John knew how to calm him. John gave us regular updates and photos. We appreciated the reporting for Hunter's very first overnight with him. TY John!”
About: Your pup will be treated like part of the family! There is central heating and cooling to ensure the perfect temperature at all times. There is also have a yard where your pup can enjoy some outdoor time and room to play. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable and at home while you're away! I typically work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and I'm fully available on weekends. For other days in the week, I will be in the office from 8-4pm. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs so I adapt and tailor-fit care to help each pup feel at home. If a 5-month-old puppy is nervous about sleeping alone or afraid of the dark, I am happy to stay nearby and provide comfort and reassurance throughout the night.
“McKenzie was a lifesaver, offering to take my dog at the last minute the day before after I had a last minute cancellation with another sitter! She did a great job taking care of him and sent adorable pictures of my dog with hers! He came back home so happy! Thank you so much again!!!”
“Michelle took exceptional care of my very nervous and anxious dog. I received daily pictures and updates while I was away letting me know how my pup was doing. Would absolutely book Michelle again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
My dog, Clover, had a great 2-night stay with Kristin. Clover has a bit of separation anxiety and usually stays with family - Kristin was very sensitive to that and flexible to her needs, plus she seemed to have a really good handle on Clover's personality. Kristin was also great with communication, so I knew how Clover was adjusting. When we picked Clover up, she kept going over to Kristin for extra pets and snuggles, so that's definitely a strong endorsement from her!
Paula did an outstanding job of being flexible with my arrival, greeting my anxious dog and carefully introducing him into her home. He settled down shortly, and she kept me updated throughout his sleepover. She cares for these dogs like her own, and I would recommend her for boarding!
We left our dog Frankie for the weekend at Paloma’s and she had the best time!!!! I was never worried about if she was settling in ok, since Paloma sent plenty of updates and pictures and videos of what a great time Frankie had. We would totally have Frankie stay with Paloma again! Thank you!
Fae & Joe were excellent boarding hosts for our 1.5 year old lab mix. They are incredible communicators, sending multiple videos and photos throughout the day. Our good boy was well taken care of and already misses his friend Bluto! This was our first Rover experience for boarding, and we were the luckiest to get matched with Fae & Joe. We are looking forward to future opportunities, and considering once-a-week daycare with them given how happy we were with the overall experience and ability to socialize our young pup with other well-tempered dog friends in their care! Thank you for everything!!
Sabrina had a lovely stay with Judith. We had to last minute find her a place to go for the day as our apartment complex was spraying for pests and she couldn’t stay there. Judith quickly responded to our request to stay and was very communicative. She had lots of room for her to explore and places to hide. We would definitely look to book with Judith again in the future!
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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Salem is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $95 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.
There are 3,813 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
