“Donnie is amazing. Not only is he beyond accommodating with pick up and drop off times but more importantly he clearly has a passion for dogs and treats our pup like his own. He is gentle with the dogs, interactive, and helps out with any training questions we have. 110% recommend him to anybody looking for a sitter, or trainer.”

About: Hi! My name is Julia, and I am a dedicated animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s dog walking, pet sitting, boarding, drop-in visits, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I am comfortable meeting each pet’s individual needs. I have cared for my own pets throughout my life, as well as pets belonging to family and friends, which has given me valuable experience handling different temperaments and routines. I take pride in providing attentive, personalized care to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or your cat prefers a calm environment and extra affection, I will make their well-being my top priority. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for as if they were my own. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to creating a positive experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members and providing the loving, reliable care they deserve! 🐾❤️ Please note: For boarding requests, your dog must be friendly and comfortable around other dogs, as I may have other dogs in my care during their stay. This helps ensure a safe and stress-free environment for everyone. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. Pet sitting and animal care are my primary focus right now, so I have the time and availability to accommodate a variety of schedules and needs. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight pet sitting, or boarding, I am committed to being dependable and responsive. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I strive to provide consistent care that helps them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Because of my flexible availability, I can often accommodate last-minute requests and work with pet owners to find a schedule that best fits their needs. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priority Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a loving, supervised environment where pets are treated like part of the family. While my yard is not fully fenced, I have secure runner systems in both my side yard and backyard that allow dogs to enjoy fresh air and outdoor time safely while under my supervision. Inside, pets have access to a clean, comfortable home where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I closely monitor all pets in my care and follow any routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and special instructions provided by their owners to ensure consistency and comfort. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home and pets with the same level of respect and attention that I would expect for my own. I understand the importance of trust when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I am committed to providing dependable, compassionate, and attentive service every step of the way. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

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.

“Katrina and her husband were absolutely amazing! They were very communicative and shared regular updates. My dog is very shy, but after just one day, she was licking their faces and clearly loved being close to them. Katrina has a few dogs of her own and is very mindful about introducing the pups to each other. Her dogs are very well behaved and there were no issues with my dog being around them. I highly recommend Katrina and will definitely use her services again soon.”

About: I bring genuine care and patience to every dog I work with. I’ve personally cared for a Husky for the past 4 years, so I understand the importance of exercise, attention, consistency, and handling high-energy dogs with confidence. Huskies require a lot of patience and structure, which has helped me become very attentive to dogs’ needs and behaviors. I also have experience walking other dogs of different sizes and personalities, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s energy level and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone calm and comforting around, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I can help reinforce basic training, maintain routines, provide regular exercise, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I’m especially good with energetic breeds, shy dogs that need patience, and dogs who thrive on companionship and consistency. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I make time each day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention so they feel safe and relaxed while in my care. I have a Fenced in yard, so sometimes I will let them run around the back yard, play fetch. And after a few minutes take them on a quick walk. I update Dog parents with Videos and photos so they get updates on there dogs well being and i will always ask for specific diets dogs may have so there routine doesn't change when they're in my care!

About: I have had pets my entire life and could never live without them. I have three dogs and three cats and would love the opportunity to take care of your babies the way you wish you could while you are away. My schedule is extremely flexible and I would love to further discuss together what works best for you and your fur babies needs sometime soon. I visit your home and take care of your pets in the environment that they know and are most comfortable. I will also do neighborhood walks, dog parks, and vet visits depending on arrangements.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. Currently have a dog and a cat! Meredith the cat and September the dog! I also have 7 year old twins that love to play and help with their pets, and love meeting new animals. I’m a stay at home mom, so I have time during the weekdays while kids are at school, to do drop ins or walks. I also have a friendly pup that has a lot of energy and enjoys playing with other dogs, if I’m doing dog sitting. My dog gets one long walk per day and we have a backyard perfect for catch and running. Sometimes we go to the dog park too!

“We brought our 4.5 m/o puppy to Krystyna and Sara for his first doggy day care. He was nervous when we left him, but when we came to pick him up he didn’t want to leave! They were great about sending us updates about his naps and videos of him playing with the other dogs. Really helped assuage our anxiety of him being stressed when left in the care of someone else. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Salem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Salem on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,545 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Salem commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

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.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,545 sitters in Salem, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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 sitter.
