“Donnie was amazing with our Millie! This was the longest we’ve ever been away from her and he instantly put us at ease. Donnie sent us so many pictures to keep us updated and couldn’t have looked happier! We are so grateful and will definitely be using Donnie’s care again in the future.”
“Mikayla & Alen, Thank you so much for hosting Prince Zuko 7/14-7/16. I felt quite comfortable leaving him in your care! I appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout his visit…I was better able to enjoy my brief time away knowing he was happy and having fun! Thank you for sharing your home with him. Looking forward to many more doggy adventures 😀”
“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!”
“Abe had the best time! We got lots of photos of him running around their yard (which has an awesome setup for dogs!) Cherie was very accommodating to our tentative drop off and pickup windows, which was much appreciated. Would not hesitate to book with her 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!”
“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🐾”
“Karen was great with our dog, Bolton! She made him feel at home with her dogs and other dog in her care. We appreciate her kindness in helping Bolton to acclimate, as he can sometimes be nervous when going to new places. We're excited for Bolton to visit Karen again soon!”
“Salish was great with Gus and spent the time making sure he felt at ease. She was also very responsive and addressed any of our concerns. We felt good that our baby was in good hands. Gus will definitely be back visiting Salish! Thanks Salish!”
“Such a phenomenal first experience with Caty! Will definitely be booking with her again. She was super communicative and helpful. She would send me pictures and videos of Honey Bee everyday while on my vacation with small updates which i loved, it helped me feel close to her while i was far away. She treated my dog like her own and im so greatful for her care of my dog! Honey Bee also loved her and felt right at home with Caty and her family.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Krystyna & Sara G. were absolutely amazing with my mini Goldendoodle, Hazel! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in caring and capable hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, including updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Hazel came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Krystyna and Sara treated her like part of their family, giving her plenty of attention, affection, and care. They went above and beyond to make sure all of her needs were met and that she felt comfortable and loved. I would highly recommend Krystyna & Sara G. to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Hazel—I will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️”
“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!!!”
“I’m so glad I found Stacey to care for my dog. She was Amazing! She provided pictures and updates daily which put my mind at ease. She took such good care of her that I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home! Truly the BEST! Thank you!!”
“I always feel good and safe leaving Alex with Damaris because I know how particular she always is. Damaris communicates with us on a daily basis and will let us know of any minor changes with Alex which I really appreciate- thank you Damaris for making us feel good about leaving Alex with you anytime”
“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!”
“Dakota had a wonderful time at Thea’s! This was the first time our puppy had to board somewhere. She did wonderful and I did not worry about her and knew she was in good hands. Like leaving her with a family member. Space to run, structure, discipline when needed, and lots of love. Thea sent pictures and kept me in the loop. Will be back for sure!”
“Faith was not one bit short of amazing, she sent pictures and updates of our pup, Stella, throughout the entire vacation. We were worry warts because Stella is a very high energy pup with a big personality, but Faith had everything under control and wasn't even phased by the excited first meeting. Stella was very tired after her long weekend with Faith and fellow puppers, so we knew she had a great vacation herself. She will be returning in a couple months for about a week and it will not be her last time!”
“I'm so thankful we found Allie to accommodate our needs to care for our 3 GSPs in her home. I felt at ease with her right from our first meet up. Not many would take on the challenge of 2 6-month old pups plus a 13 yr old set in her ways. Allie is quick to communicate and thankfully understands the breeds needs and activity level. We don't travel often, but when you need someone to care for your family members you can't just leave them with anyone. We liked that Allie takes on one client at a time. We will be happy to take our pups back and it allowed us to enjoy our time away without added stress.”
“Taz was in great hands! The love she gave to him and cared for him was amazing! Taz will definitely be going back to Lucille. She was sending pictures and updates on him to us and we loved that.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
Button would have been nervous anywhere but I felt that she was in good hands with Donnie. He kept her safe and that’s the most I can ask for until she gets used to being at his place. I appreciate his professionalism and confidence with dogs and training. We will likely book again when we are in need of pet care.
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 3,525 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.
92% 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.
