“Pike had a blast running around with keiko all day. They made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with them and I know they take such great care of him when we are away. Highly recommend!”

“Jeanne was amazing. I had to book last minute and she was there for us. She took great care of our 3 dogs, was personable and all 3 liked her right away. Having her made vacation much less stressful I knew dogs were in good hands. I would definitely use her again and recommend to others.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for nearly every kind of pet, from doggies and kitties to chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, bunnies, chickens, turtles, geckos, birds, rats, and even snakes. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Of all my amazing animal friends, dogs are definitely my favorite — I’ve had a dog in my home my entire life and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by providing the same care, attention, and affection that I’ve always given to my own pets. I'm currently working part time so my availability is vast! I can do most mornings, evenings after 4, and some weekends as well! If you ask, we can easily work something out! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort during every drop-in visit, walk, and house sitting stay. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and exercise, to keep them relaxed and happy while you’re away. During dog walks, I make sure pets are always securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. For drop-ins and house sitting, I respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean environment, and ensure your pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving experience so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: I work as the Daycare and Kennel Supervisor at a Pet Resort in NH. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and can take care of dogs with special needs including administering medications or even catheterization, if necessary. I am Canine CPR and First Aid Certified. I am also an NREMT certified EMT. I've had 4 dogs of my own at one time, and have both trained and groomed them since puppyhood! I currently work Monday through Wednesday, but am home all day Thursday through Sunday to care for your fur babies! With 2 dogs of my own, I make sure that I spend as much time at home with them as possible. I have a very large yard that is fenced in on 3 sides, with 100ft tethers to give them the freedom to run around and explore the whole property. I have 2 very playful pups that love having friends over! I can crate a dog, if needed, or have multiple raised beds and large dog pillows with blankets to keep everyone cozy. The pups' comfort, safety, and well-being always comes first!
About: We are a family of four! We have my kids 50 percent of the time- they are 9 and 7! We have a fenced in yard that the animals can run in! I work from home so I’m home majority of the day- I leave for some meetings randomly but not for too long. We are members at a great dog park in NH that we take our dogs to often especially with nicer weather! We have two dogs- A 3 year old Bernadoodle and a 2 year old long haired chihuahua. Both very friendly with other animals! We also have a 10 month Mancoon Cat who loves playing with the dogs and acts like a dog herself! We have been caring for animals for a long time and we welcome all types of animals into our loving family! We give our dogs a lot of attention and we will do the same with yours! I work from home and my job is very flexible. I will be home majority of the time and will be able to give a lot of attention and love! I have a full fenced in yard! I have a screened in porch also that provides some outside time when not in the yard! It’s a very safe area!

About: My family has fostered many dogs from puppies to elderly, along with owning two of our own. Almost all of my highschool volunteer hours came from helping at dog kennels and daycares. From a young age my parents have taught me to have good patience and care for animals. I am currently a student home from school til March. I attend a maritime school for engineering. Other than two courses I am taking online at nearby school, I have a completely open schedule from the next two months. Depending on age I offer 1-2 walks through out the day. Along with interactive meal times! I do own 1 dog at home who is elderly but very very kind and social. I have a very large yard which allows all the zombies. However my pup is trained and therefore we have no fencing. I live in close proximity to dog park for free range fun as well. As for dogs that require daily grooming, I proved daily brushings as well.
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.
About: I have been helping care for pets since I was a young child. I grew up with pets and pet responsibilities. The love that I have for my pets crosses over to the love that I will bring for your pet. Pet sitting is currently my primary focus. This allows me to have greater flexibility in my schedule and more time to take care of your pets. Great care and concern for your pet is emphasized as well as open communication with you while your pet is in my care. Your concerns are my concerns when it comes to the safety and care of your pets.
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I know how important your baby is, my goal is to give your dog safe and happy visits! I am currently on summer break for college so I have a mostly open schedule! I work some days at Aroma Joes and all my other time I am free. I always greet dogs slowly by letting them sniff my hand and get used to my scent, I have walked dogs since a kid and know how to handle dogs that pull.
“Debra has done a phenomenal job with our dog Lucy. Highly recommend to everyone!! She is very quick to respond to requests, did a great introductory meeting and is always great on walks with our pup. Thank you Debra!!”

“Grace was our first Rover experience and she was so great! I trusted her completely with our dog. She is kind, friendly, quick to respond, and so sweet with the pup. We will use her again when she is home from school!”

“Hannah signed on to walk our dog, Kook, on really short notice and was great! Kook immediately took to her and she was incredibly flexible with timing. Would recommend to any dog owner. Thanks Hannah!”

About: I grew up around dogs of all sizes and breeds. I currently have a dog of my own going on 12 years, and has many furr friends who can vouch on our behalf! Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping to their routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels and will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, and any special routines. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I love spending time with my furr babies or ones who need my attention while owners are away. That includes walks and or outdoor time playing, stimulation treats if okay, constant attention to their needs and wants. Cuddles included.
About: Hi. My name is Mimi and I am a stay at home mom. I had 2 Siberian Huskies in the past and I currently have a Shiba Inu. As you all know these breeds are quite stubborn and they have a mind of their own. I am extremely patient and consistent when it comes to our furry friends. I love pets and I treat them like a family member. Your pets will feel right at home during their stay here. I provide plenty of cuddles, attention, and love to make them feel safe while you're away. I am always home and I can provide constant companionship for them. I have a 800 sq ft fenced in area where we can play or just enjoy the fresh air. I prioritize the comfort and safety of your furry friends. I will clean, sanitize, wash the beddings, and steam mop the room before each boarding. I have different size crates if your friends need to be crated at night.

About: I have 8 years of experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large breed dogs. I’m very comfortable handling a wide range of needs, including active dogs that require structure and exercise. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked in education as an athletic director, which has strengthened my leadership, responsibility, and ability to stay calm and consistent in any situation. I bring that same level of care, organization, and reliability into pet care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve decided to pursue dog care full time starting this June because it’s truly what I enjoy most. I also have three dogs of my own—a Chihuahua/Husky mix (8), a Chow Chow/Husky mix (7), and a German Shepherd (6) so I understand day to day care, routines, and the importance of treating every dog like family. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is becoming a full-time focus in my daily routine. I’ve spent the past several years balancing my work in education while caring for dogs on the side, and I’ve always made time for it because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. Starting this June, I’ll be transitioning into pet care full time. My schedule will be built around providing consistent walks, drop-ins, and boarding care, with flexibility to meet each pet’s needs. I already care for my own three dogs daily, so my routine naturally revolves around feeding, exercise, playtime, and maintaining a structured and safe environment. Adding client pets into that routine is a natural extension of what I already do every day. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care so pet parents can feel confident their dogs are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I primarily focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific instructions from the owner. My goal is to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment while providing consistent care, attention, and exercise. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos during each visit so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they’re away. I make sure every home is respected, secure, and left exactly as it was, while ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. If I do provide boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. Dogs would still follow a structured routine with supervision, exercise, rest, and care tailored to their needs. I aim to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel at home

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Salem on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,643 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Salem. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Salem.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salem. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
