Heather was a joy to work with, and she went well above and beyond to take care of my pup when I was unable to walk following surgery. Highly recommend!

Abbey was fantastic. We needed a last minute dog walker for a trip we took and she was ready and willing. Our dog, George, did great with her and I loved knowing he was in good hands. Thanks Abbey!

Marc was great and very friendly when we met and introduced him to bronson. They went for 1.3 mile walk which was perfect for bronson. Would recommend Marc for others.

About: I was born and raised as an animal person. There was rarely a time when my family was without a pet of some sort, from dogs and cats to gerbils, rabbits, lizards and hermit crabs. So naturally when I married a fellow animal lover who worked at a dog kennel for 9+ years as a teenager, we decided to get a dog...and then some chickens...and 4 goats...and another dog...and 3 cats. Anyway, now we own a small hobby farm in Salem Twp and are raising two little girls who are also animal lovers. Being a livestock owner means that I deal with a lot of random weird and gross things on a daily basis, so I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I just want to give your beloved pet the love they deserve when you're away from home, because that's exactly what I want for my animals when I'm gone. I have two elementary aged kids so I'm available during the school day. I work a few hours a week as an early childhood class instructor but otherwise I'm just home or running errands most days. I can't offer pet sitting in my home or overnight at your home, but I'm available to come visit, feed, and walk your pets during the day. I may be able to expand my schedule depending on my kids schedules, so just ask!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, caring for four dogs and a cat, so being around pets has always been second nature to me. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, whether it’s for a walk, check-in, or overnight care. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am home for the summer and have availability up to August. I will be working part time and will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a friendly 6 year old dog at home with many toys beds and crates. i am experienced, as i’ve been pet sitting for the past two years and grew up with 5 pets.

About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs, from looking after my own dogs and neighborhood pets growing up to recently working professionally at a dog daycare and boarding facility. This background gives me extensive experience handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including large and giant breeds. I am completely confident managing multi-dog environments, reading canine body language, and keeping energetic pups safe and happy. Additionally, I am highly experienced with special needs and can precisely administer oral medications or insulin injections. Whether your dog needs structured care or just a lot of love, I am ready to treat them like my own! I am not currently working, I have completely open availability to care for your pets. I am flexible and ready to accommodate your schedule, providing full-time attention and regular updates during the day or night. I am incredibly detail oriented. Safety and structure are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. Drawing from my professional dog daycare background, I am highly trained in reading animal body language, preventing stressful situations, and ensuring environments remain secure. When entering your home, my first step is always ensuring all doors and gates are securely locked behind me so no pets can slip out. I strictly adhere to your established household rules, feeding schedules, and crate routines to keep your pet's environment consistent and stress-free. For outdoor time and walks, I always utilize secure leashes, double-check collars or harnesses, and maintain high alertness to keep your pet safe from outside distractions or other animals. Because I have extensive experience with large breeds and medical needs like insulin, you can trust that I will closely monitor your pet’s health, behavior, and well-being. I treat your home with the utmost respect, leaving it exactly as I found it while keeping your pets safe, happy, and loved.

Emi-Lu is definitely the person you want caring for your dog when you are gone. She is thorough, detailed, kind, and compassionate. She even texted me this morning to make sure she could find my key and to ask how long our dog likes to walk. Emi-Lu is the best sitter on Rover!!

About: I’ve always had a dog or cat in my home! Growing up we always had a Golden Retriever :) My most recent dogs were two senior Chihuahua sisters I adopted and one Olde English Bulldog. They have all crossed the rainbow bridge and though I’m not ready to get another pet, I miss having them in my life. One of my seniors had diabetes so I’m trained at administering insulin as well. I’m a stay at home mom of two little boys I share with their dad, though when I have dogs stay with me they stay with their father. For boarding, I live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of other dogs and great sidewalks for strolls or power walks if needed. I enjoy going for daily long walks myself would love the company. For walks at your home, I never skimp on time outside or if weather doesn’t permit, extra fun and love inside.

Realllly appreciate Emily! I did some last minute traveling and because it was spring break I couldn’t take my puppy to PetSuites! I searched high and low for someone to help with him and Emily was the only person who could squeeze him in! Book with her—you won’t be disappointed! She has great communication as well!

About: I have had dogs since I was little and love all sizes and breeds. I worked at a vet for 4 years with lots of experience in walks, boarding and medications. I have always loved finding ways to keep my pup happy and busy and will do the same for your pup- of any life styles. I work from home full time and take my pup out multiple times a day, including a short walk at lunch as well. I have one dog and very used to active life styles including feeding schedules, walks and medications! It’s important to me that your dogs can continue the life style you want to give them! I will never let your dog off their leash outside, and will ensure their collars and harnesses are secure on walks outside as well. And I will keep them active inside if they do not enjoy walks outside or sitting on my patio!

About: Hello! My name is Maggie. I’m a 31 year old living in South Lyon, & a lover of all animals; the furry, the scaled, the smelly, the shy, the rambunctious, & every animal in between. I’ve had a dog in my home since I was born. My specialty is rabbits! Rabbits are such unique creatures, & I know how to give them the care & gentle love they need. I’ve had 5 cats, 4 dogs, & 1 rabbit in my lifetime, & now, due to my living situation, I am unable to have my own furry pal. I am hoping to get my fix of animal love through this service, while also helping those who need a little help with their busy work schedule or holiday travel plans. I promise to give your pets the same love I would give my own! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to send me a message. Thanks! As a stay at home mom, my schedule is flexible. My toddler would accompany me to drop ins, but he has strict boundaries with animals. If your pet loves kids - great! My kiddo loves animals! If your pet is hesitant to kids, no worries - my son knows he isn’t allowed to go near animals without permission. If you aren’t comfortable with my son being around, I am available Wed-Fri for solo pet care! My husband is home those days! I understand that all pets have different boundaries & quirks. If you have an escape artist cat living in your home, I will be sure to take extra care opening the doors. If your puppy is working on training, I am happy to help continue to with positive reinforcements. Upon meeting, will can go over all your pets’ needs… and their quirks! There will be no shortage of cuddles & playtime for those pets who need extra attention. And pets who take a little longer to build trust will soon find themselves a new friend to find comfort in!

I am so thankful for Michelle. She is a quality person who took amazing care of my sweet dog on an extended vacation. She is a wonderful communicator, reliable and most importantly took exceptional care of my dog. It allowed me to have a stress free vacation knowing that my dog had a walk and got out in the bitter cold and my elderly parent was not faced with that chore. Thank you Michelle. I am so glad to have met you you’re truly a blessing.

About: Growing up with a pup in a highly active family, I have over 5 years of experience hiking, biking, and running with dogs! Long walks and dogs with high activity needs are my specialty, though I have also been approached by friends and peers to walk, sit, and care for a variety of pets with varying needs. From sitting multiple cats, to rats, to elderly dogs, I have a wide range of experience, and am dedicated to customizing to your pet's needs. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very open schedule with room available to cater to your specific needs. A majority of the work I do is online or portable, so you can guarantee that your pet receives the time and care they deserve! I have experience with dogs of all activity styles, and am quick to adapt to the specific needs of your pet. Safety and well-being are top priorities, so I am sure to stay on top of your pet's eating, sleeping, and playing habits! I am attentive to your pet's environment, maintaining cleanliness and safety at all times.

Jessica was absolutely wonderful with Leo. I couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided him. She is so sweet and attentive to my senior dog. She cared for Leo for 7 days/nights in my home and I am so pleased that I found her. Thank you Jessica. I would definitely book with her again.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Salem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Salem on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 3,981 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Salem. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Salem.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

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

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
