“Claudia dropped in to feed and let my dogs out over a long weekend. Claudia was so sweet and communicative! She gave me excellent updates and sent tons of pictures. I think she even brought them a toy. My dogs looked super happy and well-cared for and I will definitely book with Claudia again!”


“The meet & Greet went well. Amanda was relaxed and interacted extremely well eith our moody kitty! She did not appear overwhelmed by our kitty's demanding routine or our anxiety about leaving our kitty with a sitter. We felt comfortable enough to book the weekend and allow her to enter iur home and take care of Shadow while we are away. Her availability was limited for the dates we needed but she did her best to work with us and to accomodate our needs.”

“If you have cats like we do, Marie is the best! She was engaged with our cat, provided updates and pics, and even checked back in after we returned home. The kitties didn't get lost, or run out, and Marie was very respectful of our home and instructions. Great job!”

“✨ 5+ STARS ✨I have much gratitude for Marcy. I had a last minute request for a 2-week job, and she handled it flawlessly and promptly. And this was my very first experience utilizing Marcy’s services. She’s professional, reliable, and clearly adores the furbabies! I’ll definitely contact Marcy for future needs!”

“I was very skeptical to hire outside of family and friends but am so happy I found Shane! Shane scheduled a meet and greet with me at my home to become familiar with my cats and their needs. A week leading up to my trip, he confirmed we were still scheduled to need his assistance, and provided daily updates/pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Shane enough and happy I've found a trusted pet sitter in my absence. Thank you, Shane!”
“Cortney did an amazing job with our cat zipper! He loved having Cortney stop by to take care of him. Cortney did a great job and sent us helpful daily reports and monitored him well while we went on vacation. We were able to relax knowing our cat was in good hands!”

“Nick is very professional and gets along so well with Rey! He gave time, attention, medications, and some great neck scratches to my senior/fresh from a TPLO girl. I could not recommend him more.”

“Maya and her husband did a great job looking in on our sensitive little dachshund! The daily updates really helped us feel better about leaving our boy for a few days. Thanks, Maya!”

“Tabatha was a blessing! I felt at ease while on vacation with Tabatha caring for our pets. From what I can tell she kept them on their toes and probably did a better job then I would do! I never expected so many pictures of them either playing, eating, or just being goofy. Would definitely recommend and hope she's available next time!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs/cats my entire life, from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable, loved, and relaxed as possible—as if you never left. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, and I want you to enjoy your trip without worrying about your furry family member. I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. As a bonus, I also enjoy tidying up, so if you’re comfortable with it, you’ll come home to a happy pet and an even cleaner house. One of the biggest benefits I offer is flexibility. I work in medical device sales, which means I’m local and make my own schedule. Because of that, I can stop by throughout the day to let your pets out, give them potty breaks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply some extra love and attention. Your pet won’t be left alone all day, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for whenever they need it.

About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!

“Paige exceeded all of our expectations. My three large dogs were well taken care of, and when we arrived home, we figured we would have a mess to deal with because of the weather and muddy back yard, but Paige kept up with everything, again, above and beyond our expectations. Paige sent us updates daily, with pics of the dogs. These updates put us at ease that all was well back at home. Aside from all of this, we can tell that Paige is a genuinely good person that has a love for animals, treating ours as she would her own. If you are looking for a sitter, stop here and check her calendar, you wont regret it.”

Amy is definitely a cat whisperer. Our Lola is very unsure of anyone except us & usually hides when company comes. She loves Amy. She will play with Amy & let her love on her. We feel very comfortable leaving Lola under Amy’s care. I would give Amy a 10 star rating on a scale of 0-5!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Salem on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
