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 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 am an animal and nature lover who loves being outdoors and taking care of animals. I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. We love going on walks and playing inside. I have 4 kids that are full of energy and love playing with animals as much as I do! I work from home so I am always around and love talking daily walks early in the morning, at lunch and at dinner time. My golden doodle is always looking for new friends too! I have plenty of indoor space for play and a built in playful friend in my golden doodle so your dog will never be bored but can also have separate time for relaxation as needed
“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!”
“For my first time ever leaving my dog with someone else, I had a great experience. I am very happy that I found someone I feel comfortable leaving my dog with who is caring, attentive, and makes you feel comfortable that your dog will be properly taken care of.”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 16 and my love and connection and knowledge has only grown stronger for animals Right now I have plenty of time since it’s winter to take care of any pets, I prefer noon time or 12 and after that I have a two floor house plenty of room for a pet to enjoy himself and feel at home I had a round fenced backyard as well as stream in back of the fence
“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!”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and currently have two small (under 20lb) resident dogs. I have experience medicating a range of health issues via injection, pill, or eye/ear drops. I'm also a foster with Last Hope K9 and have a wealth of resources available to me, and therefore can be provided to you. Dogs are allowed on furniture and I have a fenced in yard with dog door! I work from home with a dog door that pets have access to throughout the day. I accompany them out every few hours and would not leave them unattended for more than 2 hours while caring for your pet! I spend much of my free time relaxing with my current dogs, and your pets would join us during couch or play time. They would be fed according to your schedule and requirements, and regular photos provided.
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.
About: I now own my own dog so she comes with me on jobs. She is ESA certified. Thank you, for checking my profile. I am excited to be doing this kind of work part-time. I love every job I take on. It’s not that many but rest assured when you book my services you will have my 100 % attention on just your babies! I have been house sitting and pet sitting for friends and family my whole life. I can’t have a dog where I live but I would love to own a dog one day. For now let me share all the love I can give to your beloved family member! I have a cpr/first aide certification. I can groom your dogs in your home. I have references from all whom I have house sat; horse, dog, cat, fish, birds, reptiles. I can watch your farm animals as well, horses are my specialty but I have taken care of cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, sheep and goats. I look forward to to becoming your new favorite person because your pets will thank you! Also think of me for boarding your cats in my home. Thank you for your consideration. I work from home so can care for your pets during the day. I just need internet access in order to work from your home I care for your animals in your home and do what you advise in terms of care for your animals. I can also take pets on adventures.

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 2,597 sitters in Salem, 86% 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.
