“Erin was absolutely fantastic with our Boston Terriers! She kept us in the loop with updates, lots of adorable photos, and hilarious notes about their antics. We genuinely looked forward to her messages! It was clear our dogs enjoyed their time with her, and she consistently went above and beyond our expectations. Erin is a true gem, and we'll definitely be rebooking!”

“Absolutely amazing experience! Kayla took incredible care of our three senior dogs, giving them so much extra love and attention. She cleaned up every mess, even tackled all the poop in the yard, and sent detailed updates with tons of great pictures. We felt completely at ease the whole time. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again.”
“Megan did a fine job sitting our Bengal cat. She showed up early and gave Sidd extra time. She played with Sidd to stimulate her appetite and break her loneliness while we were gone. Megan followed our instructions and we returned to a healthy, happy kitty.”

About: Hi there! I’m new to Rover as of March 2025, but I’ve been providing pet care for many years. I teach both virtually and in person for about 6 hours a week, so I have plenty of availability outside those times to care for your pet - including walks, playtime, and snuggles! I have the flexibility to structure my daily and weekly routine in a way that allows me to give your pet the attention they need while fulfilling my responsibilities. During breaks between, teaching fitness classes, I make sure to check in and ensure they are comfortable, Your Pet care is important part of my daily routine. In the morning, I start by feeding your pet and give them plenty of pets and snuggle and letting them out to potty. During the day, I make sure they have everything they need, whether that’s a comfortable space to relax or toys to play with. In the evening, I take them on a walk, some playtime, and a final feeding.
“Ricky is nurturing, conscientious and reliable. With his enthusiasm and warmth, he created an immediate connection with our two dogs. The three of them engaged in a group cuddle within minutes of meeting. From sending us notifications of a delivery, to providing reports on our pups behavior, he goes the extra mile. Ricky is also very playful, and just simply a good time. It puts us at ease to know our pups are partying with someone who is mindful of all their needs and has such a big a heart.”
“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.”
“Stephanie was very communicative with me while we were away and went above and beyond! The comfort of knowing our babies are being well taken care of while we’re gone means so much to us!”
“We are glad we chose to have Heather care for our senior kitty this past weekend. Her approach to offering services through Rover was very professional. She did everything we asked, was attentive to his needs and sent lots of pictures and details about her visits with him. We plan to reach out to her for future sitter needs.”
“Jamie took great care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us updated daily and, when our indoor/outdoor cat didn't show up for feeding time, she made sure there was food accessible outside. Our cats really seemed to enjoy spending time with her.”
About: I have had 4 dogs and 7 cats throughout my life and have held a special connection with each of them! I have been taking care of pets since I was very young and have experience walking dogs and taking care of cats, both my pets and other peoples pets! It fits easily and naturally into my weekly schedule! I am a student at Willamette University but while on summer break, I have a lot of free time outside of my part-time job. I find caring for animals enjoyable and natural and easily apart of my daily routine for my own pets. I will ensure the pets I am caring for are comfortable with me and are excited to go on walks or interact with me!
About: I've been working extensively and training with dogs, cats, and horses for over a decade! I love animals of all sizes. I worked with a professional trainer to train my first dog at age 15. I've carried those skills over to train my current adventure cat, and my friends' cats and dogs. I'm comfortable getting messy whether it's giving baths or hiking in the mud and rain. I'm a student, so I love working with animals in between study time and classes. I also love hiking, hammocking, and backpacking outdoors with friends and my adventure cat, Chicken Nugget 🐅 I'm a big animal lover! I treat everyone's cats and dogs like my own. I can be flexible with scheduling and I'm always attentive to your pet's wants and needs.
“Malie was amazing with our siberian husky! She was great with communication and reached out with each drop in. Our husky has a lot of personality, and several medications. Malie made it simple, and took great care of her! Malie was great at respecting Koda's cues, playing when she wanted to play, but also giving Koda space when she wanted it. We will be booking again with Malie very soon.”

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!! ☺️
I have never had a better pet sitter experience!!! We were going to be gone for a week and I was super worried because both of my cats need an inhaler. Clair was amazing and by the end of the week I’m pretty sure they were easier for her than they are for us 😅 I really appreciated the thorough summaries and pictures after each visit, it made me feel so much more comfortable being gone. I truly can’t rave enough about how much time and attention she showed my boys!
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!
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.
Alyssa is amazing. She has given us so much confidence to travel without having to worry. She is so attentive and our cats love her. Our home smells good when we get home and any Cat owner knows how valuable that is. Highly recommend. Very trustworthy and reliable. Thank you, Alyssa.
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 $19.26 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 632 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
