“Dave and Daniel were wonderful with our Pomeranian Skyla. She’s animated and spirited, some might say a strong personality. She often, perhaps too often, wants her own way, but apparently Dave and Daniel were able to deal with this, and all parties seemed to have a great experience. What we do know for sure is that our little girl came home healthy and happy. What more can you ask for? We couldn’t be more pleased. We will definitely be bringing her back to her home away from home.”
“I was apprehensive leaving our 5 year old Vizsla anywhere. Philly took him for a walk to bond. He sent lots of texts and pictures. He was able to accommodate drop off and pick up times as we changed both times. He let him on the furniture and sat in a chair just like at home. He understands a high energy dog with lots of walks and ball play. He works from home so Odie was never alone. Such a relief to know he was in good hands. . We will definitely use Philly again.”
“We left Tofu with Jade for a day boarding and he had a great time with her. Tofu is still a puppy and troublesome at times and Jade was very patient and accommodating!”
“Gayle is the absolute best! She sends lots of update, pictures and videos and is very flexible with owner’s needs. My dog is so excited to see Gayle and her dog Sitka, he just runs in her house, he doesn’t even look back to say bye to me 😢🤩😊.”
“We had Gemma watch our small dog for the second time now and feel lucky to have found her. She is very kind, flexible and caring. Zoey can be anxious with strangers sometimes but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Gemma and her family.”
“Diana cared for our 16 yr dog for a week. She is an excellent communicator and professional. Her home has plenty of outdoor space for him to roam free. She sent regular updates and pictures. She also is a groomer. Our pup is afraid of anyone who tries to groom him and hates water. Despite these obstacles she managed to give him a nice trim. I highly recommend Diana and will certainly hire her again!”
“Danielle was wonderful and took great care of our girl! She was communicative and reliable, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands. We’ll definitely book again!”
“I was nervous leaving my boy since he’s never been away from home. Tianna was so kind and caring of Max. Sent me pictures and videos, updates throughout the day. Definitely will book again.”
“Lyssette was extremely communicative, and my pup loved her and her dog. Her yard is huge, Valkyrie had the run of the whole downstairs and was super happy. Will definitely use her again!”
“Tania was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous leaving my puppy overnight, but she made me feel completely at ease. She asked thoughtful questions, kept me updated with pics/videos, and took such great care of Nala. You can tell she genuinely cares—she set the bar HIGH. I’ll definitely be booking with Tania again and highly recommend her, especially for first-time Rover users! 🐾💕”
“Jennifer is great with my girl, Rowan! Rowan is always comfortable in Jennifer's care and always happy to go back again. We're very grateful for the excellent care Jennifer takes of Rowan when we are away.”
“We were nervous to leave our cat with someone else for the first time, then we met Zuri we felt confident that Margot would do just fine! Drop off went great. The communication was impeccable. She sent us pics and kept us in the loop at all times. She was flexible and understanding with our schedule changing. Zuri is an amazing pet sitter! We were so pleased.”
“Stephen watched our dog, Oliver, for us over a long weekend. He and his wife, Connie, were great and Ollie was very happy with them. He was definitely spoiled! We received several photos from Stephen while we were away, which is always nice to see. It was so reassuring to know that he was so well taken care of. We have already booked Stephen and Connie again for our next, longer trip!”
“Shelby went above and beyond caring for Shadow 🫶 Daily walks, lots of photo updates, and even a thoughtful card and treat at pickup - it meant so much! I could tell he was happy and well cared for the entire time, and will absolutely be booking her again in the future 😊”
“Christina is a wonderful sitter! She is always enthusiastic and responds promptly to communications. I love her positive attitude and the way that she interacts with my dog. Her house and yard are great for pups and she keeps it all very neat and tidy. I highly recommend her services.”
“My boys (older doodle and younger dachshund mix) were excited to meet Larissa and I was grateful to see that they settled in quickly. They stayed for 2 days and now I know I have somewhere that they will be safe and taken care of when I’ve got to be away. I received updates that included both pictures and actual descriptions of how things were going with them. If you are looking for a safe, loving, family experience for your fur baby, Larissa is my number one recommendation!”
“Hailey was wonderful. She and her family took great care of our pup while we were away and updated us frequently with daily activities and photos. From the meet and greet to the pickup it was obvious he was in good hands and got all the love and attention he deserves! She was attentive, kind and respectful, plus her dog was friendly and a great playmate for our dog. Highly recommend Hailey, we hope to board with her again!”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“The most loving and quality dog care ever! Such a wonderful family and my little pug dog is always happy and so well cared for during his stays. 100% recommend Juliann and her family!”

Anna was remarkably communicative throughout my pup’s entire stay while I was away, sending photos and updates regularly throughout the day. She is attentive and asks good questions in advance to make sure she will keep your dog happy and healthy. He was very well taken care of, and I highly recommend booking with her. Thank you Anna!
My wife and I were very blessed to find Arturo. Arturo and his family provided a very safe and loving environment for our fur baby (Piper-Jazz). From the moment they greated us we (including Piper-Jazz) felt entirely at peace. Knowing our fur baby was in safe and loving hands during our 10 day trip helped my wife and I to relax and enjoy our time together—what a great gift. We highly recommend Arturo and we rate him and his home a 10 out of 10. I think Piper-Jazz actually misses Arturo and his family. 😊 💯

I felt that Vinny had been treated well and was comfortable with Olivia because he did not show signs of anxiety when I picked him up or in the following days. The one thing that I would have liked was a little more unprompted communication even just once a day, such as; "had a good walk", "seems comfortable with me and the house", "he rested well", etc.
Kaci is amazing & truly one of a kind! We trust her with our two babies and no one else. She genuinely treats our dogs as her own, and you can tell how much she truly cares about them. They always have the best time—whether it’s cuddling up with her or playing in her backyard. She’s reliable, attentive, and gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Salem on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 362 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Salem sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Salem landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Salem home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Salem.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Salem sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
