“Donnie's expertise and love for dogs was clear on my first visit. My dog was sick and he helped me to narrow it down to an infection that I should visit the vet for, and continued to help care for him over the next few days. With a fenced in area, truck, and nearby forest he's well equipped to care for your pet.”
“Sindy was fantastic with Tyler! They went on several walks, and they spent most of the day outside exploring. He loved every minute of it! I would definitely request Sindy again and highly recommend her.”
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: My pack consists of 2 dogs and 3 cats. I have a 5 year old dachshund named Scout who is the absolute best boy you will ever meet! I trained him since he was a puppy to be my stress and anxiety service dog. He goes everywhere I go, including stores, restaurants, planes, and even Disney World. My second dog is a German Shepherd rescue named Nebula. She is the sweetest girl but unfortunately is very shy. Over the past year I have slowly getting her to break out of her shell. For any Disney fans out there I tell her to embrace her inner Merida and be Brave! My three cats are all unique in their own ways. My oldest is Lyla who is 17 and she only wants love and cuddles. My middle child is Stitch. He is spunky and adventurous and will follow you around the house even to the bathroom. My little princess is Willow. She is a calico beauty but would rather play with the dogs than do anything else. Her best friend is my 70lb German shepherd and it’s pretty adorable. I have large range of experience taking care of different breeds and different ages of pets! I love all fur babies! I work from home 5 days a week, Monday through Friday. I have Saturday and Sunday off. I am available all day to care for pets! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. I have lots of ramps for my dachshund to prevent back injuries! I have 2 dog crates that can be used because my dogs rarely need them.
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 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!
“Damaris was great with Pepper. This was Pepper's first dog sitting and she has a lot of separation anxiety. Damaris was very considerate of that fact and took great care of Pepper. I was able to drop her off at short notice. I'd definitely recommend her services!”
“Mimi was amazing with Prince! Prince can be very wary of strangers and needs special care and Mimi delivered! She followed my recommendations and was cautious and by the second day she and Prince were best friends :) Thank you so much Mimi, you are the best!”
“Lupa had a great time with Jing and her family!! I received pictures of him and updates during his stay and I felt at ease knowing he is having a great time playing with his doggy friends and being taken great care of. I will definitely book again when I need a sitter for him!”
About: Hi, I’m Naomi — a calm, reliable caregiver who treats every pet like family. I’ve spent years caring for animals with all kinds of personalities, from energetic puppies to sensitive seniors. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, and I always take the time to understand what each pet needs to feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m someone who notices the small things — the way a dog’s tail lifts when they’re excited, the way a shy cat warms up when you move slowly, the way a nervous pup relaxes when you match their pace. I’m steady, warm, and fully present with the animals I care for. Whether your pet needs a walk, play, or just someone who will sit with them and make them feel secure, I’m here to help. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure you feel confident and at ease while your pet is with me. Your pet’s comfort comes first — always. Pet care fits easily into my weekly rhythm. I build my days around calm routines and being fully present with the animals I care for. Whether in my home or yours, I follow familiar routines, offer patient attention, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
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!
“Chelsea watched our 4 month old puppy for the day and did a fantastic job. Our dog was comfortable being left with Chelsea and she sent us photos throughout the day to keep us updated on how things were going. We will definitely be reaching out to Chelsea again in the future to watch our pup!”
“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!”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life so I’m used to being around them. I also have had one other dog before and now have a mini dachshund. I’m very comfortable with taking care of dogs and having them in my space. I work a full time job at home, but I’m in control of my own schedule and am very flexible. I’m also available weekends and in the summer, I’m even more flexible. I take my dog out 2-3x a day depending on weather. We go on walk across the street at the park for about 15-20 min and when we are back inside, he is allowed to roam freely. He eats 2x a day with snacks in between and he always has water out. I play with him as much as I can throughout the day to make sure he doesn’t get too bored with his day too! My apartment is always clean to ensure that my pup doesn’t get into anything he isn’t supposed to. Lastly, my apartment building is secure as you need a key fob or someone to buzz you in to enter the building.

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.

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.
