“Michaela was amazing! Came to check on my cat once a day while I was on vacation. Qas very responsive and took on the task with pretty short notice. My cat can be kind of grumpy with strangers, but seemed to really like Michaela! Very communicative and responsive.”
“Magnoly is literally the best! She was extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable with our dog Apollo and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again! She communicates everything every step of the way and was sooo flexible when I booked the wrong dates for visits and when we asked her to drop in again on short notice! She couldn’t have been a better person for Apollo’s first night by himself and our first Rover experience, we absolutely love her!!”
“Amanda was very professional and super easy to work with! She kept us well informed around her visits, and took great care of our cats. Our usually picky cat even really got into playing with her! We’d definitely love to book her again.”
“Ann Marie was an amazing sitter for our two kitties! My first time using a sitter but she made the process seamless and gave us peace of mind. She even took time to take photos and give them treats. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely rebook next time we leave for vacation.”
“Lisa was very knowledgeable about taking care of our bunny! Which was a relief, we were worried about leaving out of town. We recommend Lisa for rabbits or any type of pet care. She also takes really good photogenic pictures and checked in regularly. Thanks Lisa!!”
“I can’t recommend Maddy enough! She took amazing care of my cat, Jinx, while I was away. Maddy was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with photos and little notes about how Jinx was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, Jinx was happy and relaxed. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pets like family, Maddy’s the one!”
“Beatriz was the perfect day sitter for us. She followed our detailed directions to a T and we are very happy with the service that she provided to us. We are so grateful to have her as a resource and look forward to hiring her again for our future trips out of town! Our cat loved her and your pet will too!”
About: I have a wide range of knowledge in animal care. I provide senior animal care, medication administration (have experience with liquid syringe fed, food mix ins), I am patient and willing to learn and help out with any necessary training, exercising, and/or special medical care. I have two parakeets myself, and spend a lot of time at my parents house with my family dogs. I also have experience caring for rabbits, hamsters, and cats as well although I am willing to learn to care for basically any type of animal. I am a hairstylist, and often have the ability to shorten my days to accommodate bathroom breaks, feeding, and other important care times. The only main activity outside of work is going to the gym, but I can easily make a cardio day by going for walks/hikes with your fur baby’s! I am dedicated to following routines that you have set up for your pets such as crating, training skills, and special requests to keep your pets at ease and safe.
About: I have cared for pets for friends and family for several years and have always loved being around animals. I also have an 11-year-old dog of my own, whom I trained from the time she was a puppy, which has given me experience with patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and am currently in graduate school pursuing a career in mental health counseling. My education and experiences have strengthened qualities like patience, communication, empathy, and attentiveness, which I also bring to caring for pets. While balancing part-time work and graduate school, I maintain a flexible schedule. I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Thursdays in June, with additional availability most Friday evenings and weekend mornings. I treat every pet like my own, making their safety, comfort, and routine my priority. During walks and drop-in visits, I stay mindful of their surroundings, follow instructions carefully, and always double-check that doors, leashes, and gates are secure. I also enjoy sharing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re away!
About: Hello & welcome to my profile! I have been blessed by growing up around animals my entire life! My older brother has had dogs as small as a Poodle/Chihuahua mix (Ari) and as large as a Newfoundland (Armand - which I was able to help leash train)! My brother has relied on me multiple times to take care of them, and I do so lovingly! In Ari’s later years, he trusted me to give him his medication, special diet food, and assist him walk around. Additionally, I grew up around cats for as long as I can remember and currently have two of my very own. Not only cats & dogs, but bunnies, gerbils, and guinea pigs are all animals I have taken care of under my own roof! I know that each pet has their own personality and therefore needs specialized care. I know how much I think about my own when I am away from them, and I would be honored to lovingly take care of them so you don’t have to stress it! I currently work full time M-F, but am consistently done with work by 3:00/4:00 pm. This gives me plenty of time to stop by and care for your animals during the week part time, or full time on the weekends! Within my own home, I make sure to be proactive with making sure my cats have fresh water and food in their bowls at consistent times. I do not currently own any pet supplies for a dog and I live in a one bedroom apartment with limited space. I am happy to house smaller animals when need be and take care of all other pets within their own furever home!
“This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy with the service. Mikayla and Alen made me feel at ease. They helped me understand the process and took great care of my dog. I would highly recommend them.”
About: I have always had a passion for animals, which I have actively pursued through animal care work and volunteering. These experiences have taught me the importance of having a safe, clean, loving, and happy environment for all animals! I currently have open availability, I am available on demanding hours such as; weekends, weekdays, holidays, and long hours. I have no problem with transportation, and can show up when needed! I have a fenced in yard with two of my own dogs at home. I also have animal daycare experience and can easily prioritize the safety and well being of all animals!
About: I have been around all sorts of animals since I was little and was called an aspiring Disney Princess. I have knowledge taking care of rabbits, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds,fish, and other small rodents. I love working with any kind of animal and willing to learn about any other animal. I also have experience taking care of animals that have medical ailments as well as senior animals. I am a stay at home mom for two beautiful girls so my schedule is really flexible. If any last minute situations pop up I can easily move my schedule around. Your fur baby's safety is my number one priority. I pride myself in building trust with not just you but also with your fur baby.
About: I am an avid animal lover. Recently lost my 15 year old pup. I have a 6 year old son who wants to be a vet someday and he will care for your pup too. I have 2 cats in the house as well. I often care for my mother's 2 dogs as well. I work full time but am home on weekends and nights. I love to scratch behind the ears and good belly rubs as well. I hope your dog loves attention. I joined a Meetup group that does Sunday hikes. I'd love to take your dog too. Please enjoy your time away knowing your pet is well taken care of. I promise to love your dog as much as you do too.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Salem on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 4,398 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 cat, 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.

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.
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 sitter.
