“Marie was a Godsend! I have never left my 2 cats but wanted to attend a wedding in Mexico. From the moment I met Marie, I knew my fur babies would be in good hands. She sent me pics twice a day and let me know how my girls were doing. Not only do I have a cat sitter, I have a new friend as well :) Marie is loving and responsible and I highly recommend her!!”
“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.”
“✨ 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!”
“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!”
About: We will treat your fur babies like our own! We both have grown up around animals of all kinds and are animal lovers through and through! We strive to ease the stress of leaving your pet home alone! We are both currently at home with our one year old daughter, so have plenty of time to spend with your pet! We are available any day of the week for drop in visits or walks! We will treat your pet like our own! Our rescue dog, Harry, is a handful. We understand that different pets have different temperaments, needs and wants!
About: I have worked in dog daycare and as a professional pet groomer. I will care for and love your pets like my own. Pets are my passion. I am currently a realtor and set my own schedule. My 11 year old Golden passed away in August and I have too much time on my hands and love to give. Your pet's safety is my top concern at all times. I am detail focused and have knowledge in pet first aid and CPR. People have trusted me with their pets and homes for over 20 years.
About: I have experience with most pets. I specialize in “high maintenance” animals. If your pet’s care routine requires extra attention to detail (meds/ supplements, specific routines) I have experience with all of that. I have owned horses for thirteen years, dogs and cats most of my life, and have been doing animal care for over five. I am available to house sit as well. Animal care is my job. I have clients with a variety of animals (horses, goats, chickens, cats, dogs etc.) I schedule my personal activities around my animal care jobs. I do not offer pet care at my home because I have a very territorial beagle who does not appreciate new furry friends :) I have cared for pets at their own homes for years and have references from many satisfied clients.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years! I even completely trained my old puppy to do all different kind of tricks, potty training, and behavioral tactics. I believe I am a very reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. I do work full time but can make plenty of time for any of your animals needs. My hours do vary but if we have compatible schedules, count me in. Whatever is asked of me, trust and believe it will be taken care of. Your fur baby needs taken out for a walk, done. Litter needs changed, done. Food and water needs refilled, done. I am a very reliable and dependable individual.
“Hanna did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats Chance and Hazel. Hazel being deaf makes communication difficult and they quickly became friends. Chance on the other hand is pretty fearful of new people. Took him a day but by day 2 she had him eating his wet food on the stairs and then the last day he actually came out of hiding to eat at his normal eating spot. I would highly recommend Hanna! We will definitely have her back again.”

From walks, playtime, all the good pets and brushes, snacks and feeding I am a girl you can count on! I run a small jewelry business with my best friend making real pressed flower jewelry. I have the ability to create a very comfortable schedule for myself. January-May my schedule is very open, especially during the week! Towards the end of summer we begin market season. My schedule may vary but is still very accommodating! I am very trustworthy, caring, and dependable! I feel I make a great house sitter because I would respect your home and fur family as though they were my own!

About: I interned under a dog trainer and doggy day care specialist a while back before he relocated out of my area. He taught me about controling aggression, basic commands, feeding, and potty training. I previously worked at a vet clinic which helps in knowing how to handle various moods of dogs. Ones with anger, fear, anxiety, or explosions of happiness! It also gave me the knowledge for medications (oral and injectable). I used to work for Disney's Animal Kindgom where I dove trucks for Kilimanjaro Safaris, so basically my whole life revolves around animals. I'm still currently at Animal Kingdom but as an animal educator for exotic animals. I'm punctual, available early mornings and evenings, and am comfortable introducing dogs to one another. I am also very good at special care for pets (ie. Diets, treats, play time, potty time, crate time, bed time, medications, and etc...). I hope I can be of service to you and your pet! I am currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your fur children. I am available most times of the day and can work around most schedules. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog that loves to play. He can help keep all the fur friends entertained and if need be, I can crate pets as well. I have a small supply of blankets, can offer quite time if needed, and have plenty of puzzle games for those that need a mental challenge.
“Tommi did a great job with JuJu. She went beyond what was expected of her due to some circumstances that came up and it was very appreciated! It meant the world to me to know JuJu’s comfort and well-being were so important to her. She also sent me photos and videos and followed instructions really well! Would definitely hire again.”

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 July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salem. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
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.
