“Kyra is very professional and has tons of knowledge! She was super responsive and friendly. Our dog loved his stay and we will definitely be bringing him back for future stays! - Thank you!!”
“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Mickenzie was very quick to respond and book Miss Moose on short notice. She also sent me a few update pictures and let me know how she was settling in. Moose was in good hands with other dogs to play with and cats to hang out with (her dream situation). Overall I appreciated Mickenzie’s service and communication!”
“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!”
“Julie babysitted our young puppy on short notice and took such great care of her. Our puppy had a blast playing with new dog friends and was well looked after - it was a great confidence booster for her, and I felt totally comfortable leaving her in such a loving home. Julie even washed her bedding and treat dispenser toys, which was super thoughtful. Thank you again Julie!”
“Julia treats your fur baby like her own! Her loving daughters will give your pet plenty of hugs, pets and attention! She was very quick to respond and provide photos during my pet’s stay. Would highly recommend this loving household!”
“Chandra was great with our pup, Ivy! We had a last-minute change in our original booking and she was very accommodating. We got lovely updates and would definitely book with Chandra in future!”
“Allison was amazing with our pup! Pepper loved her right away and I could tell from the meet and greet that this was a great fit. Allison was communicative, engaged and helpful with every step of setting up our dog’s boarding. She sent pictures and updates during our trip so we knew our girl was happy and cozy. We are excited to have found someone we feel so comfortable leaving our girl with and will definitely be connecting with her again in the future!”
“Shelby did an awesome job! Went above and beyond and sent so many pictures. We have a husky and she brushed out her undercoat without being asked. Would definitely rebook with her again :)”
“Once again, Oliver had a great time and was so well taken care of. The day before our trip, Ollie had an issue with his foot and was put on several medications. Stephen's wife, Connie, made a meds chart to ensure that every dose was given on time. That wasn't something we had planned for, but they were so great about it. That really allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Thanks so much, Stephen and Connie!”
“I cannot recommend Dylan enough!! Our 14yo dog, Lulu, has a lot of quirks and is developing dementia so she can get a little grumpy in the evenings. She doesn't do well around other dogs, so it can be tough finding a place where she will be comfortable while we're out of town. He sent lots of photos and videos and we could tell she was having a great time with him. When we went to go pick her up, she honestly didn't want to leave, she even tried going back inside with him haha. Dylan is an extremely caring sitter and listens to what your dog wants. We are so grateful to have found someone that she is comfortable with and it meant the world to us knowing that she was well taken care of!”
“2nd time Atlas has spent time with Tara and her fam. He absolutely loves it! He always comes back home tired from playing with all his friends. Great communication, sends lots of pics and you can tell how much love they have for all the furry friends they look after. Would 100% recommend and we’ll keep coming back!”
“Michael did a great job with Kermit. He is compassionate and contacted us with concerns. Kermit was treated like part of the family. Frequent photos were really appreciated.”
“Madison took great care of Zeus and sent us fun photo updates frequently. She was very accommodating, communicative and flexible and we look forward to having her watch Zeus again during our next trip. Highly recommended!”
“Tienne did great with my dog, Sydney. She was really easy to work with and was very flexible and understanding. She is a Vet Tech which made me much more comfortable should any issues arise. I will definitely use Tienne in the future.”
“Lyssette kept me updated with pictures and video my whole trip. We used her our first time using rover and she did a wonderful job and my dog was very happy when she got home. We used to take my dog to boarding places but after it made her super sick last time we decided to try out rover and I’m glad we did because it was a very good experience.”

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!
Madlin was great! We ended up needing someone in a pinch, and she rose to the occasion. Our dog injured her foot just before our vacation and Madlin was able to accommodate her. We received regular updates on our dog, she was taken on regular walks and her needs were attended.
Michael did a great job watching my dog Arthur. Michael and his family are clearly dog people and showed lots of love and attention to my dog. I feel like his house is very secure and a safe place for my dog to stay at. Additionally, it was nice to receive a daily update. I will 100% ask Michael to watch my dog in the future!
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. 😊

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Salem on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 367 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Salem. About 89% of Salem sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
