“Great experience with Donnie watching Lucy. I have already scheduled a two night stay. Lucy seemed relaxed and comfortable in Donnie’s presence. Planning to make this Lucy’s go to location as needed . Definitely recommend”
“Reliable, communicative, personable, and professional with each and every stay. We’ve been utilizing Karen’s dog sitting services for some time now and have complete trust in her! We highly recommend her services!”
“Annie and Rosie had a great stay with Salish. They came home happy and I could tell they were loved just as they would have been at home. I am so happy Salish took care of them, made my week away so much more enjoyable.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She accepted Luna on very short notice when I was in a bind, and from the moment I dropped her off I knew she was in great hands. She took the time to show me where Luna would be, introduced me to the other dogs, and made sure I felt completely comfortable before I left. Throughout the stay, she sent plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious Luna wasn’t just being watched, she was getting tons of attention, enrichment, and love. She truly treated Luna like one of her own. When I picked Luna up, she was so happy, content, and completely tuckered out. It honestly felt like she found her soulmate sitter! I feel so lucky to have found someone who cares this much. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again, and I think Luna already misses her. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my girl! ❤️”
“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!!”
“Thanks Donna for fitting us in last minute to watch Lexi! We were happy Lexi felt right at home & was well taken care of. We will definitely use your services in the near future, thanks again.”
About: I love animals of all kinds, but my favorite domesticated animal is a dog. I am known by a lot of my clients and people I know personally as “The Dog Whisperer” I have 2 fur babies of my own who I love more than anything on this green earth. When I am taking care of your fur baby or babies, you can be away peacefully, knowing that they are being loved, cared for, and treated as if they were my own. I say “hi” to dogs before I say “hi” to people. I work 35 minutes from home. I have every other weekend off. I do have to work most holidays but with planning it will work out. If I’m in your home, I will go by your house rules and go with your dog(s) routine the best I can when I am not working. When I am in my own home, I just ask that you bring whatever it is you would use in a day for your furry baby. Leash, harness, food etc. no need for a crate as I have a couple here if needed.
About: I had taken care of family members dogs and cats many times, and I love having animals around. I have two cats, but I am able to separate them in a different part of the house if needed. I currently am an online student for snhu, my major is digital marketing. So I am usually at home all day, and available to pet sit go on walks and whatever needs are necessary. I have a big yard and a nice neighborhood for walking so dogs will love that. I also am able to put my two cats in a separate part of the house if necessary.
“Emily is absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my pup while I was away and would highly recommend her services. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Book with Emily today!”
“Bae was great and cam through lase minute when we got stuck, and our dog seemed to do really great with them. On top of that when we arrived one day earlier she initiated a refund which we did not ask for. I heartily recommend her for your dog.”
“Leaving our dog with a sitter through Rover for the first time was very nerve wracking but Joshua reassured us from the meet and greet to the very end of our vacation. He sent us updates everyday and communication was top tier. I would book with Joshua again. Highly recommend!”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! She had amazing communication throughout the entire stay and took such great care of my dog. She gave him treats, made sure he got plenty of walks, and truly made him feel comfortable and loved. I’m pretty sure he thought he was on a little spa retreat! I would happily book with Vanessa again and highly recommend her.”
“This is our 2nd time leaving Finn with Michael and Finn was so excited when we pulled into his driveway. Finn came home clean and well cared for. We appreciated the photos Michael sent while we were away from Finn. He always looked happy!”
“Amanda and her family were great hosts to both our dogs! They treated them like family and Amanda provided frequent updates and pictures during their stay. Amanda was very flexible to work with and had wonderful communication. Aside from her spacious yard for the dogs to exercise in, they were also taken out on walks! Both of our dogs seemed very happy during their stay and they came home so tired; like they say: a tired dog is a happy dog! I would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone looking to receive quality care for their pets!”
“We are very happy and pleased with our puppy's first stay while we were on vacation. Even though he was the smallest and youngest- it was clear Thea had it all under control- and she is a true dog lover. The other dogs were very friendly even to the two young boys I had in tow for the drop off. I loved the fact that our pup got extra special attention from Thea's daughter. Made us very happy to hear that he was being cuddled and snuggled! Thank you so much!”
“Rita took wonderful care of our dog Louis for a whole week while we were away. Louis had company from Ritas own dogs who are lovely and adorable. I highly recommend Rita and we will have louis stay over any time again with Rita. Thank you so much”
“Alma, our 15-month-old black lab pup, loved hanging out with Will and Luna. Alma is super energetic and Will didn’t disappoint, taking her to her favorite spots in Franklin Park and playing her favorite “go wild” game. Will was communicative throughout and sent lots of photos while we were away for 5 days. The meet and greet was really reassuring, too, especially since this was our first time leaving Alma. Highly recommended. Alma is already asking when she can visit Will and Luna again.”
“Such a good visit, I know I can trust Jo and Tom to lovingly look after my fur baby as if he was their own. I know the gets plenty of play and care from them as well as other small dogs. I’m always happy to ask Jo and Tom to add my dog to their pack for my needs.”

I am so glad that we have found such a caring and loving family for Twinkle. Twinkle had a wonderful stay with Julia and her kids. She got a lot of love and had so much fun playing with the kids during her stay. Julia is super flexible and super responsive. She sent us awesome pictures/videos almost daily and kept us well informed about Twinkle. I will definitely come back to Julia for Twinkle's care in the future when we are out of town. Thank you so much, Julia!

94% of sitters in Salem can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Salem home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .
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.
