“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alison! It was our first time leaving our 14 week old puppy and to say we were nervous and emotional would be an understatement. Alison sent us numerous pictures and kept in contact often. We were so at ease about being away knowing our puppy was loved and cared for. I am beyond grateful that I now know Birdie has a safe place to go whenever the need arises! Thank you Alison for treating Birdie like she was part of the family.”

“Colleen and her family were wonderful!! Colleen is very caring and thoughtful and obviously loves animals. She went the extra mile. The daily reports she sent were very colorful, descriptive, enthusiastic and delightful! We enjoyed the daily photos. Lily was smiling in many of the photos! She obviously had a good time. We feel she was very well cared for and we've already booked the next visit.”

“Peter and his family took great care of our 2 active golden retrievers! They made our dogs feel at home giving them plenty of comfy spots to snuggle up but also gave them lots of play time both in and outside! I would definitely recommend Peter and his loving family to pet sit.”

“From our very first meeting, I could tell Sylwia was special! She took so much time and care to get to know our pup Lucy, understand her, and ensure that Lucy would be comfortable and successful during her stay with Sylwia. She was incredibly thoughtful and overall provided a fantastic experience- sending updates throughout the day, making sure that we are comfortable as well. Would absolutely recommend Sylwia!”

About: My lifelong love of animals has been shaped by caring for a wide range of species and by growing up in different parts of the world. This exposure fostered a deep curiosity for animal behavior, individual personalities, and the subtle ways animals communicate their needs and love. I bring this observant, thoughtful approach to every pet and home I care for. I am home most of the time—4 out of 7 days I stay home all day, and on the other days I leave briefly but return often enough to walk, feed, and give attention to your pets. I love keeping a consistent routine so pets feel safe and happy. I prioritize your pets’ safety and comfort at all times. Dogs are always on leash when outside, and I use crates as needed when they are outdoors or resting. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks in the neighborhood or nearby parks while keeping them safe and under supervision. My main priorities are adaptability and flexibility to the pet and the parent's routine, and wants.

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.

“Shelby watched our 2 Golden Retrievers (8yo & 7 months) recently. We were so relieved to have found her, as we were worried about leaving our puppy for the first time, and having a new pet sitter for our older dog. We felt at ease as soon as we met her for a meet & greet. The boys got lots of attention, were very well cared for in her lovely home and large fenced back yard. She sent photos and updates while we were away, which were greatly appreciated. We will use her again for sure, and can highly recommend Shelby!”

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!

There are 3,630 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Salem. About 90% of Salem sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

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 sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
