“McKenzie watched our cat, plants, and chickens while we were away for 2 weeks. Everything was well taken care of and it was apparent our cat got so much love and snuggles while we were away! Would recommend McKenzie for your pet sitting needs.”
“Pakuna was super reliable and kind to my cats and dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures. Extremely trustworthy, dependable, sweet, and most importantly kind and competent with animals. Pakuna is highly recommended. I wish I could give more than 5 stars ✨⭐🌟✨”
“Ricky was wonderful!! Followed all instructions seamlessly and went above and beyond. He was great with our cat and she seemed to really open up to him and trust him. We will definitely book with Ricky again!!”
“Benjamin did an amazing job taking care of my 18-year-old cat Buster. He went over and above with his care of Buster , who needs medication for thyroid twice a day. He spent time with him, sent me lots of pictures and kept me up-to-date with everything that was happening. I recommend him without any hesitation at all. Thank you, Benjamin.”
“Astrid was incredible! So loving and caring and welcoming to our kitties and our bird. She was more than happy to accommodate our requests. Astrid also was great with our bird, who can be a bit scary. So happy to have her take care of our home and will absolutely hire her in the future.”
“Kayla did a great job checking in with my dog Phoebe while we were away for a few days. Throughout the weekend, she was communicative and reliable, sending photo updates with each check-in. Phoebe can be a little anxious when I’m gone, and unfortunately had a few accidents on the carpet, but Kayla handled everything without hesitation. She not only cleaned up thoroughly, but also kept me updated. I’d absolutely trust Kayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Julia is great with dogs! She is a dog whisperer, and has a lot of experience training and dealing with many types of dogs. She is great with sending lots of photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
“Very kind and respectful. Took the time to make sure she and my pup were a good fit together. Nice to not have to worry if my babies are okay while I am away. Will be using her services again!”
“McKenna was great to work with. We had a meet and greet and it went great. Our cats walked up to her and were very comfortable. One of our cats, Sonya, is very shy and with a couple of visits McKenna had her doing flips in the air with the feather on a string toy and sitting next to her. In case you are wondering how I know I have a cat cam in the front room. The next time we need a cat setter McKenna will be on the top of our list.”

“I am so grateful that Alyssa was able to look after my kitties on short notice--and doubly grateful that she was on hand to deal with an urgent medical issue with one of the kitties, which she did very professionally. Alyssa is one of those people who really "gets it" about cats. (Cat people know what I'm talking about 😃.) She gave my extrovert kitty tons of play and snuggle time, and he loved it. I will absolutely be using Alyssa's services in the future!”
“Shawnee did an amazing job taking care of my cats , they both were comfortable with her right away. She went out of her way to check on a problem we had with our automatic feeder, thankful for that. We received photos daily and updates on our cats. I’ll definitely book her again when we need someone to watch over our cats.”
“Mercedes did a great job watching our two fur baby cats while we were away. She set up a time beforehand to meet our cats which was great. She was great at playing with them, feeding them, cleaning their potty. And she sent great pictures while we were away. She made our time away feel less stressful knowing she was watching our babies. Hope to have her as a sitter for our cats in the future!”
“Wes did such a great job and was wonderful with our dogs and cats. He took the best pictures of them that I’ve ever seen and shared them throughout the visit. I would recommend Wes to anyone!”
“Emily is amazing!!! She was there when I needed her. Always prompt and on time. I was out of state helping a family member move and it was very stressful so knowing my Zoe was taken care of and getting daily walks made me feel so much more at ease! I will always use Emily :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
Kelly came in ready for business! She met our 2 cats and they instantly took to her. She was super interested in the cats - really respectful and interested on what and how they needed to be taken care of. She asked all the right questions and was thorough! She even went above and beyond by letting us know of services that would be happening at our apartment complex and helping get things ready. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving our boys in the care of someone who hadn’t been around them. She was thoughtful kind and caring and exactly who you’d want to watch your fur babies. I couldn’t have been more pleased with how well everything went and how clearly Kelly communicated with us. So great!! ☺️
Austen was awesome! He provided really detailed visit summaries with lots of pictures. We rested easy knowing that our cat was getting such wonderful care. Our area also had a power outage and he even looked up how to reset the fridge to stop the outage beeping. We would use him again in a heart beat and happily recommend him to others!
Kara took such good care of our kitties and from her messages and photos I could rest assured knowing they were in her loving care while we were gone. She also helped out with other household tasks while we were gone which was super appreciated. We will definitely be booking her again! Thanks Kara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Salem on Rover is $19.76 per visit (as of August 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:
- 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
