“We got stuck on vacation for several extra days because of the snowstorm and he was very flexible and accommodating. We would have been in major trouble if our dog was with someone who couldn’t take on the extra days but luckily this is the one thing we did not have to worry about. Our dog seemed very happy and taken care of when we picked him. The fact that watching your dog is his job and main priority is a huge reason why I’d recommend choosing here over somewhere else.”
“Karen is the best. She was able to take us in with short notice and was very communicative. Frankie definitely thrived and had a great experience with her and her handsome pups. Thanks again!”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible with Luna. She took her on so many great walks. Sent pics of Luna snuggled up on her couch. Luna came back so happy but wiped after the couple of busy and active days with Felicia. Luna is already looking forward to her next stay! Would highly recommend Felicia - she was so awesome, highly communicative and took amazing care of Luna🐾”
“Mikayla and Alen took great care of our frenchie Zeus. He loves cuddles and they made sure he got all the loving care he needed! We would definitely have them watch Zeus again!!”
“Very responsive and friendly. Received pictures everyday. Clean and safe home settings. Gets walk and play time everyday. Very happy with how Caty cares for my fur baby. Will definitely book her again.”
“Salish is what every dog owner hopes to find. A competent, caring, dog sitter. Her little daughter is a delight and Oscar enjoyed her company. We've already booked her for our camping trip in October after just having her sit our Yorkie this Memorial Day weekend. Highly recommended.”
“We recently left our dog with Jing for a long weekend and everything went great. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pics/videos through the few days. Will definitely be having ourdog stay with her again”
“Daisy was amazing with my picky dog. We scheduled a last minute trip and she was beyond accommodating and put our minds at ease knowing that we were leaving our pup in good hands. She went above and beyond, and we looked forward to her pictures and updates while we were away. If we need to board again, I feel 100% comfortable reaching out to Daisy again!”
“My 2 golden retrievers just had their first stay with Melissa and her family for 5 nights. Melissa responded quickly to messages and gave me a daily update and videos. We didn’t worry at all and felt they were in good hands. They even had a play date on their last day and came home happy and tired ? Will definitely book again in the near future!”
About: In addition to my own 2 dogs and all of the family and farm dogs I grew up with, I have fostered rescues at various times over the years. I have a fenced backyard and my boys (both neutered) are calm and friendly fellows. I'm a mindfulness coach that works from my home. Most days I can be found meditating, reading, or hanging with my two boys Farley (old man) and Fawkes (young man). Lots of snoring dogs here with the occasional community bark at around dinner time. I have a fenced in yard where they pups are free to roam, an enormous dog bed, and a free range policy within the house. I can, of course, follow any crating practices that you use at home during your friend's stay.
“Mercis is the BEST pet-sitter!!!! She always goes above and beyond in taking care of my dog Sherlock, be it food, walks or anything!! I had to visit my home country and it is very hard to stay away from my fur baby, but I had no worries as Sherlock was with Mercis!! She kept me informed daily with pictures and video calls! Seriously I don’t know what we’d do without Mercis! Sherlock adores her and so do we!!!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of my two fur babies! She took care of them for a week when I visited my sister in Washington state. Lindsey sent me pictures every day. My pups absolutely loved her and her dog Tilly. I highly recommend her! Beth V”
“Mimi is GREAT! She took amazing care of my dog. She has a wonderful indoor space in her home for your dog to play, hang out, and sleep and a big yard for outside time. She even took my dog on a few adventures — a trip to Home Depot and a walk in the park. She seemed to really clue into my dog’s personality and connect with her. Will definitely be setting up another visit with Mimi!”
“Reesi and Tanner made themselves right at home with Sindy and her family within a few minutes after arriving there. We were a bit concerned about how they might adjust in a new place with new people, but we soon discovered we didn't have to worry at all. We were able to leave them for the day and not worry about a thing. Sindy even sent us several pictures of them throughout the day to let us know they were safe and sound while we were able to enjoy our 4-year-old grandson's birthday party in another state. We highly recommend Sindy when you need someone to care for your pets while away!”
“Krystyna & Sara are AWESOME!! If you have a dog that needs to board somewhere, you don't have to second guess leaving it with these two great hosts!! My pup was EXHAUSTED after picking him up, the house dog Bernie, did a great job matching Whiskey's energy and wore him out. He's still catching up on his sleep the next day! LOL. We even found out that he's good with cats! I will be boarding my dog there again next month. A++++++. experience.”
“Michael and his family were great!! Our Golden Jaxson came home super happy!! He sent multiple update pics and was very responsive!! Felt so at ease Knowing Michael was caring for Jaxson! 🐾”
“Gabriel is excellent. My Leo is a Maltese, and Gabriel was very attentive to him. Gabriel kept me updated with photos and videos throughout Leo's stay. Furthermore, Gabriel was very reliable in responding to my texts, which gave me peace of mind. I recommend Gabriel 100%, and I would definitely book with him again.”
“Colleen and her family were wonderful!! Colleen is very caring and thoughtful and obviously loves animals. She went the extra mile. The daily reports she sent were very colorful, descriptive, enthusiastic and delightful! We enjoyed the daily photos. Lily was smiling in many of the photos! She obviously had a good time. We feel she was very well cared for and we've already booked the next visit.”
“Ruth was absolutely wonderful and very flexible! She and Roxy welcomed Pablo and made him comfortable and happy from the moment one. I was comfortable knowing that my senior pup is in loving and experienced hands. He had a great time socializing, walking and enjoying Ruth's backyard. Thank you so much!!”

Donnie is the absolute best! Our dog is quite anxious and nervous around new people/dogs and environments, and Donnie knew exactly how to help him feel safe and confident, encouraging him to try new things while always respecting his timing and needs. By the end of his stay our dog was having so much fun, playing with other dogs and loving his time with Donnie. We 100% recommend!!
Camila and Michael took excellent care of Kalei - she was happy and content when I picked her up. She has a slightly complicated feeding routine that they administered, so I appreciate the effort put in to keep her healthy. They sent photos and videos of her playing, snuggling, and sniffing on her walks, so I got a good overview of her time away. She even made friends with their cat, which was unexpected. I felt comfortable with the care they provided for her and would recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Salem on Rover is $55.5 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,472 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Salem sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Salem landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Salem home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Salem.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Salem sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 NH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
