“Jennifer was AMAZING!!! Bayley was in love with her on our first visit. Communication was excellent, Jennifer sent me pics, and I could see the smile on Bayley’s face. I highly recommend Jennifer. She is loving, caring, attentive, and truly loves dogs. Bayley was a little torn about coming home when I picked her up. She was having way too much fun with Jennifer and her family.”
“Patricia was fabulous! She took incredible care of our pup like she was one of her own! When watching her during the heatwave Patricia made sure there was lots of fun things for her to do to cool off. She got to go swimming in the pool and played around in the splash pad. Patricia was great at keeping us updated and sent lots of photos and videos! Our pup can’t wait to go back!”
“Quiana is AMAZING!!!!!!! She was phenomenal with all three dogs and asked such great, breed-specific questions during our Meet and Greet. She also did a wonderful job accommodating medication and odd feeding requests, and helped give us peace of mind with regular updates on each. What a fantastic sitter!! Cannot praise her enough.”
“Lori was an absolute delight! She sent us adorable pictures of our pup every night, capturing his joy during their walks and his playful antics around the house. When we finally picked him up, he couldn’t resist running back to her to bid her farewell, even amidst his excitement to reunite with his family. This heartwarming sight reaffirmed the strong bond he had formed with her while we were away. We highly recommend Lori and are already planning to use her services again. Finding Lori has made us feel much more at ease about going away, knowing that our pup will be in good hands and thoroughly enjoying himself.”
“We have finally found the perfect babysitter. Jasmine made us feel safe, comfortable and completely at ease after the first day. The daily communication complete with daily videos is unmatched. This is a deeply caring person who cares for her charges as though they were her own. We can’t thank her enough and will always use jasmine and recommend her to anyone who will listen. Thank you Jasmine for a safe and secure environment.”
“Outstanding! We felt completely at ease from the moment we met Zwany. She's someone both pets and people feel totally comfortable around. She and Leandro are detail-oriented, thorough, communicative, responsive, and kind- everything and more you'd want people looking after your pets to be. They go above and beyond- I would highly recommend them to others and we would definitely bring our dog back.”
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Sky is a shy but sweet dog. When we came to pick him up we could see his attachment to Cheryl. I knew she too great care of him. He had the bonus of play time with her two dogs. She is very responsive.”
“Wonderful as always! Penny was so excited when we pulled up in front of Akhil’s house. She definitely remembered him and knew she was in for a great weekend! Got updates throughout her stay. Would fully recommend!”
“Renee and her son were amazing with my dog. They were super sweet and always sent lots of messages and photos. Renee was gentle in telling me about my baby’s day-to-day activities, how he was feeling, and how he was sleeping. I think she took better care of him than any other Rover I’ve had over the years! Next time I’m traveling, my baby will definitely be with her.”
“Jen was an absolutely amazing sitter for Saffron while we were away for the week. From the moment we left, it was clear he was getting so much love, attention, and care—it honestly felt like a vacation for him too! Jen kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of Saffron’s adventures, which we truly loved and appreciated. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. He came home relaxed, content, and clearly very well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our dog. We will absolutely be booking with Jen again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Jen! 🐾💛”
About: I have always owned pets and cared for pets of family and friends. I adopted my dog in 2017 and worked hard with a trainer and have learned a lot about walking dogs and caring for dogs and am very cautious and confident walking dogs. I also have 3 senior dogs currently and am used to caring for seniors. I currently work part time and have two children. My job schedule is flexible and I often have gaps in my day and time to walk dogs. I can also do occasional overnights. I will respect and follow your safety reccomendations and needs for your dog. I am very diligent and organized and will be able to follow instructions and keep your dogs safe and happy!
“Stevie loved his stay with Jhoanna! He loved playing with the other dogs and enjoyed the cuddle time. He came home happy and worn out! I'll definitely book with her in the future.”
“Alex is wonderful with my elderly dog, Zoe. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that he's taking great care of her and she's so happy on her own vacation with him. Thank you, Alex!”
“Jennifer and her family were so wonderful. They provided a lovely and safe home for Walter while we were on vacation. Her dog Molly even taught our dog good manners. Highly recommended!!!”
About: I am a dog lover that just suffered a bad breakup and my ex got the dog. So I figure this is a good way to get over the four-legged void where my pooch used to be, get some exercise and make a little extra cash. If your pup needs a walk, a bathroom break, or a place to stay and play while you’re away…I’m your guy. I am self employed and I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule …Ideally I would like to find some regular clients that need me regularly. I am single and live alone in a medium sized apartment. My building is pet friendly and has a dog park. I will care for your pet as if they’re my own, while respecting your wishes, to ensure a happy healthy pooch.
“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.”

Hyesun and Robert are fantastic. We will definitely use them again whenever our dogs need someplace to stay. They had multiple walks each day. Lots of playtime even had another dog that stayed there that our youngest dog is now best friends with. Lots of photos to keep us updated which we really appreciated. Highest recommendation for very very happy puppies.
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.
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.
Kyli and Scott were amazing! Our dog had so much love, attention, adventure, and care. He didn't want to leave! They took him to the beach, played with him with their giant bucket of toys, and sent lots of great pictures that are probably going to end up on his instagram. They were extremely responsive, and while our dog Kyle usually doesn't eat much when in a new environment, was actually eating his kibble more than at home! Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Salem on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 3,846 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.
