“Five stars is not enough! We left Chewbacca with Karen for a few days this week. Chewbacca has various specific needs, including oral medication and prescription diet, and he gets very nervous when first dropped off. We have never had such a strong sense of peace of mind with a dog sitter as we did this weekend. Karen was extremely communicative, updated us through text and pictures throughout the day, and always made sure to go the extra mile so Chewbacca felt safe and cared for. We will absolutely be calling her again!”
“Julia is AMAZING and made me feel at ease when leaving my pup with her when he wasn't feeling 100%. She gave me updates as needed and I was able to enjoy my vacation to the fullest knowing Julia was willing and able to do what was needed to make Lincoln feel comfortable and at home!”
“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!!”
“Felicia took great care of my Bernese Mountain Dog, Bailey, during her overnight stay. She was very flexible, easy to communicate with, and made the whole experience stress-free. I had no complaints and would definitely trust her with Bailey again!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“Stacey was so accommodating and fantastic watching our dog Monty!!! She sent cute pictures through out his trip, and he came back tired because he had so much fun playing!! 110 percent would recommend her. She’s amazing!”
“Allie was so happy to be with Darmaris. She was very patient and took Allie for many walks. We also receive many happy puppy pics of her stay. I would recommend her for any size dog. I will be using her again for up coming trips.”
“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!”
“Jing and her family were amazing with Penelope! They were loving and kind as well as being the right mixture of adventurous and safe. Our girl had lots of outdoor time to explore in a safe environment and got to socialize with other dogs. It was a great fit, and I would highly recommend Jing to anyone looking for a safe and loving place to leave their fur babies. If Penny could talk it would be akin to a little kid coming home from summer camp! She clearly had a blast! ❤️🐶”
“Krystyna and Sara were AMAZING. They took care of my 2 dogs for a long weekend when I had to go away for a family funeral. I was already anxious about leaving them with someone new and they went above and beyond. They sent pictures and messages throughout the day. One of my dogs was having a paw issue with his nail and they took care of him and all the needs that came along with it. I will be recommending them to everyone I know and will for sure book with them again!!”
“Lena had a wonderful stay with Faith and family. This was the first longer term overnight Lena had and some time and i was super nervous leaving her. Faith provided excellent care and continued to update nervous doggie dad throughout the long weekend that Lena was having a good stay . 5’s across the board and will 100% use again”
“Our dog was in great hands for 4 days over the July 4th holiday weekend! Vanessa was very easy and flexible on drop off and pick up and sent plenty of pictures throughout the boarding time! Beautiful home and neighborhood for all dogs!”
“Lindsay was great with Luna. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up and kept in touch during our vacation with updates and pictures of Luna. I know that Luna was happy and well-cared for, and she enjoyed playing with Lindsay's dog. Highly recommend!”
“We boarded our 2y old whippet, Willow, with Lucille for an overnight. As a nervous parent, I couldn't have felt more confident in the care I knew Lucille would provide for Willow. She and her husband David are such lovely people, and they have a warm, welcoming home. Willow immediately took to her home away from home. Lucille took her outside frequently and went on multiple long walks with her. I left instructions for Willow's diet, snack time and bedtime routine that she followed to the letter. I can't say enough good things about the care Lucille provided, and we will definitely be boarding with her again - likely within the month!”
“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!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Salem is $65
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
I was really hesitant to board my dog with anyone for 4 days. My dog, Douglas, can be a handful, and he hasn’t been allowed to be part of his daycare group, because we’ve told that he’s “too aggressive in his play.” Of course, this breaks my heart, and, naturally, I’m very hesitant to put him in any situation where there’s potential for injury. Donnie had such incredible reviews on Rover and he seemed like our best shot at being able to handle Doug without any issues. We did a meet-and-greet with Donnie, and by the time we left, any concerns we had with boarding Doug went away. Donnie was warm, welcoming, patient, and really kind. It helped that Doug loved him (and the ladies working with him). Donnie was really positive and confident that he could take care of Doug however he needed. Doug’s medications were administered as necessary, and he had comfortable accommodations (Doug is 90 lbs, so that can be a challenge!). Donnie was kind enough to give me photos and video of Doug, as well. Donnie is also a very experienced, successful dog trainer and he took time to help us learn how to teach Doug to walk on a leash properly. I watched Donnie, within 5 minutes, teach Doug how to stay next to him while walking on a leash. It was incredible. He was also gracious enough to let us borrow a leather leash for us to practice what he taught us on how to maintain control of Doug while walking. Additionally, Donnie offers free dog walking classes on Sundays, which I will definitely be attending moving forward. All I can say is, do yourselves and your dogs a favor and work with Donnie! He’ll be my go-to always.
As always, Mikayla & Alen provided exceptional care for our dog Ella, they are extremely professional, conscientious, and caring. We have used their services several times in the past, and have a future booking scheduled. They take all the worry of leaving our sweet (and very active) Ella behind when we travel.
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.
