“Danielle is awesome! She had no problem coming over for a meet-and-greet so I could explain all of my senior dog’s needs, before we booked a drop-in visit. She followed all instructions to a T, provided great updates during the visit, and took lots of cute pictures. Will definitely book Danielle in the future, highly recommend.”

“Heather does a beyond excellent job of taking care of our older dog with separation anxiety and special needs. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”

“Amarichi was a lifesaver! We needed drop-in visits, walking, and feeding for our two pups.(One senior, perpetual toddler, 14-year-old Cockapoo, and a 4-year-old Boxer mix. Amarichi arrived on time, she sent updates with photos; she was very helpful with problem solving; and she provided solutions for unexpected situations (our Cockapoo wouldn’t let our other furbaby eat or drink in peace.) Amarichi is a true gem, we’ll definitely rebook her services again. I absolutely recommend Amarichi, without question.”

Potty breaks and training is not a problem I allow dogs on my furniture and bed I live in a smoke free home that is also an apartment I’m not too far from Griffith park so walks there are common for me; I’m a pretty active person because I am a student athlete.

About: I have a house where I can provide individual or group care for dogs. I co-own a dog named French Fry, who has been a significant part of my training experience. I am available for boarding on weekends, starting Saturday morning and continuing until either Monday or Tuesday evening. Additionally, I have availability during certain holiday periods. I have a partially fenced-in yard and a metal crate available for dogs if needed. I follow any instructions that pet owners provide. I have a peace and calm environment for dog care.
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with professional experience working at a dog kennel where I care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have hands-on experience with blind and deaf dogs, as well as diabetic dogs who need insulin shots. I’m confident giving any kind of medication that your dog may need, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve been working with dogs, professionally for just under a year, but I’ve been dog sitting for over four years. I treat every dog like my own, and there will be no shortage of love, patience, and comfort in my care! Pet care is a huge part in my daily life! I work with dogs multiple days a week and outside of work I regularly help friends and family with their dogs. Dog care fits naturally into my daily life and it’s not only just a part of my routine, but something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority! When caring for pets in a clients home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would my own! I always follow the owners instructions closely, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs. Communication is key, so i send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priority!
“Diana was wonderful with my pup! He gave her a bit of a hard time going outside at first since he’s used to only going out with me, but she was patient and he quickly warmed up to her. She kept me updated with great communication and sent pictures the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much, Diana!”


About: I’ve spent years caring for and training dogs, including raising and training four Australian Cattle Dogs—a breed known for its intelligence and high energy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to read canine body language, reinforce good behaviors, and confidently handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked dogs for several of my mom’s clients throughout the Hockessin and Wilmington area. My focus is on providing safe, reliable, and personalized care while treating every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, affection, and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. Your dog will be welcomed into a safe, loving home and treated like one of my own. I have a fully fenced 0.5-acre yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore under supervision, as well as three friendly, well-socialized dogs for those who enjoy canine companionship. I also do my best to maintain each dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind while you’re away and for your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with me. I’m a Registered Nurse with a background in cardiac care and high-stress open-heart surgery, where being dependable, attentive, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented was essential every single day. After years of caring for my patients’ hearts, I’ve now been able to channel that same compassion into one of my greatest passions—dogs. I like to think I’ve gone from caring for my patients’ hearts to caring for my clients’ whole hearts—their dogs. ❤️🐾 My nursing background has shaped the way I care for animals. I take safety seriously, pay close attention to changes in behavior or well-being, follow instructions carefully, and understand the importance of medications and routines. Most importantly, I want owners to know they are leaving their dog with someone who is responsible, reliable, professional, and genuinely invested in their care.

About: Ive had family dogs since I was born. Looking to make some extra money while I’m in school. Don’t mind if the dogs pull a lot/ reactive, just need a warning. I’m in school so I’m really only available all day for Saturday and Sunday but other days can work for one walk depending on the time. I would walk them and feed them. I have to study so I don’t mind hanging out at the house/apt in between walks.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including both dogs and cats of all ages. My background includes everything from puppy care and training support to senior cat care with special attention to comfort and routine. As a current dog and cat owner, I understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care and maintaining consistency with each pet's needs. My goal is to provide dependable service and ensure every pet feels secure and well-cared for in their owner's absence. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can care for your pets at the time that suits them (and you) best and maintains their routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, and preferred walking routes. I take time to build trust with each pet, keeping their environment calm and familiar. I also maintain clear communication with owners, providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure every pet feels secure and cared for, and that you feel confident they're in good hands while you're away.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Salem stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salem. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 pet, 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.
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.
