“They're AWESOME! Super friendly & very responsive. High energy dog got tons of exercise, I've never seen him more wiped out! Would definitely recommend Tawna & John, and I will 100% be using them for future boardings. Can't say enough how appreciative I am. Thank you!”
“Our dog always enjoys hanging out with Destiny and we appreciate having such a caring and reliable sitter for day care and overnight stays. I highly recommend Destiny and her family!”
“Steven and his partner were great with Parker (who can definitely be a handful at times) but they said he did awesome during his stay. Parker had so much fun with them and his two dogs Shasta and Jasper. They even took videos and photos for me to see how he was doing. Parker didn't want to leave he loved them and I'm sure he had so much fun while I was away. 10/10 recommend and will definitely use them again anytime I need a sitter for Parker in the future.”
“Always super amazing! Jennifer is my Koda's new best friend, which is everything you want in a sitter. She is good with meeting all of my dogs needs and being there whenever we need her!💕”
“Anna and her boyfriend were very sweet with Watson. Keiko (Anna's dog, a Great Pyrenees) was also very sweet and gentle. Anna was also easy to communicate with and flexible when our return time was delayed. Thanks, Anna!”
“Zuri is a wonderfully attentive sitter who provides loving, personalized care for my orange tabby. Each visit feels special, and this time was no exception—Zuri and Enoch even created a beautiful painting together! Their creativity and warmth make every experience memorable.”
“Our Zoie has been with Elizabeth a couple times and has enjoyed her stay. She loves the space to run and play with other dogs. Elizabeth was patient and great at collaboration for addressing behavior issues (multiple factors at play here, not Elizabeth's fault at all for this needy husky). Overall we have been very satisfied!”
“Karlie was very flexible and easy to plan with. Her house is very dog friendly and her pup, Dresden, is a great playmate! Our dog didn’t care when we left at drop off because she was already having so much fun.”
“Tawny was great! Her and Dan were very communicative and kept us posted throughout the stay. Our pup seemed to have a great time and fell asleep immediately after we took her home—always a plus! We will definitely book Tawny again.”
“Kristina was a wonderful sitter for our pup Raffle. She went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, took him for long walks, and gave him the space to run outside! She gave him treats and even gave him a toy to take home. She sent pictures throughout the weekend so we never had to worry about how Raffle was doing. We would definitely book with Kristina again :)”
About: I have years of experience caring for small and medium sized dogs and am the owner of two friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle. Because I focus exclusively on dogs under 40 pounds, I am highly familiar with the unique temperaments and safety needs of small and medium breeds. Working from home full time allows me to provide constant, dedicated supervision throughout the day, easily keeping up with your dog's specific feeding and bathroom schedules while keeping their anxiety low. Your dog will also have access to a fully fenced backyard, offering a completely secure space to get fresh air, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor playtime with Minion and Gizmo without any risk of escaping. Whether your dog has high energy or is a calm companion who just wants to nap by my desk while I work, I provide a peaceful, attentive environment tailored to making them feel safe and right at home. Since I work from home full time, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My workday is structured around the dogs, meaning guest pets are never left unattended and receive constant companionship. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to step away from my screen and supervise outdoor playtime in my fully fenced backyard. Your dog will join my own friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, for a consistent schedule of morning feeds, afternoon backyard romps, and plenty of desk side company while I work. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your dog's specific feeding, bathroom, or exercise timelines without any disruption to my work week. Trust and safety are the foundation of how I operate, which is why I provide care exclusively in my own home where I can maintain total oversight. To guarantee a secure environment, I strictly enforce a 40 pound weight limit for all guests. This ensures everyone is evenly matched with my own friendly dogs, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, eliminating the safety risks and anxiety that come with mixing large and small breeds. Because I work from home full time, your dog will never be left unattended and will receive constant supervision. Outdoor time is restricted to a fully fenced backyard where I am always physically present to monitor play and bathroom breaks. I build trust with owners through transparent communication, regular photo updates, and precise adherence to your dog's established feeding and routine instructions, providing a predictable and protective environment where your pet can feel completely safe.
About: I live on a small sheep farm. Dogs will be on long leash outdoors, but lots of room for walks multiple times a day. My dog is very good with other dogs. I work from home most of the time so they will get lots of attention. I work from home, so multiple daily walks and couch cuddles are a typical day with me. I do not leave more than 4-6 hours at a time. I have a fully fenced yard, but since I have livestock, I keep dogs on a long lead so they can explore but also be safe.
“Five stars aren't enough for Christine! She watched our two dogs for a week and went above and beyond the entire time. She kept us updated with regular photos and check-ins, so we always knew our dogs were safe and having a great time. I never once felt anxious leaving them behind — and that peace of mind is priceless. We will absolutely be coming back to Christine every time we need a sitter. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I was very nervous about leaving Riley and Ruby with a stranger but Debbie made sure they were comfortable at her house before their six night stay. Debbie sent pictures and updates periodically during their stay. I will definitely contact Debbie if I ever need a sitter in the future!”
About: Multiple years of pet experience. Grew up in a home with two veterinarians and worked in a veterinary hospital throughout college. Hopefully never needed, but I have access to emergency veterinary care if it was ever needed. I am currently working full time, however my schedule allows me to be home for the majority of the day. My husband is currently working from home remotely to assist me in pet care services when I am at the office in the evenings. I live in a quite neighborhood with a fenced back yard. I have two friendly dogs that have engaged with a variety of breeds and sizes. Both pets are spayed and crate trained. Open to pet sitting from my home, dropping by yours, or just going out for some exercise.
About: I have a 5 year old cavalier King charles spaniel, and had dog before him. Since small I always wanted take care dogs and know I want try it . I work Sunday- Wednesday morning shift, I can alway change a day to have weekend off or I can board after work Wednesday thru sunday I’ll treat the pet the same way if there were mine too. I’ll treat them all the same how I treat my dog that how I’ll treat yours too
About: With over 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I offer pet boarding you can truly trust. I specialize in caring for pets with chronic conditions and provide attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to each dog’s medical needs. In addition to safe, comfortable boarding, I offer professional services including medication administration, fluid therapy, nail trims, and internal anal gland expressions—so your pet receives expert care while you’re away I have flexibility to accommodate to your pets schedule. Let’s discuss what their next boarding experience will be like. I am currently open to 24 hour care. My home has a dog run that accommodates 2-3 dogs. In addition the entire property is fenced. We also have a cat only room with kennels to accommodate our feline friends.
About: I've worked in child care for families and a company and I apply the skills acquired from there to here. I understand that your dog is a part of your family and deserves a similar manner of patience, love, and communication that a good child care provider gives. These necessities are what I consider when caring for my own dog. As much as I adore the familiarity of dogs, especially puppies, I'd be more than happy to care for other pets. I'm a runner and I believe in staying active to maintain health-- providing the body allows it! If you would like for your dog to exercise too, I'm very willing to include them in on runs. I have a lot of energy for playtime, exercise, mindful care and would like to offer my services. Hope to hear from you. :) Best Wishes My schedule changes often but I'm usually free on weekends and holidays as of now! I am taking part time classes on M,W,F but am home often. I have a park across the street where I walk my dog and get out the zoomies. The furniture is okay for pets unless they get messy after a walk or play.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Salem is $45

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. 😊 💯
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!
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. 😊
I cannot say enough about Erin. We left our old girl with her when on vacation. The kitty developed digestive issues. Erin took the time to make sure Meeka ate and got back on track. I wouldn’t leave my fur bay with anyone else. Thank you Erin for everything. You rock!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
