“Maylie did amazing with our high-maintenance puppy! Absolutely wonderful service. Pictures and updates along the way. Left two of our dogs with her for over a week, and she allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were safe. Good animal loving home for your next trip! I'd recommend Maylie for any kind of dogs.”
“My corgi, Juni, had a good time at Jennifer's house. Jennifer is very sweet to work with and genuinely enjoys having the dogs. She took good care of Juni who seemed very comfortable there and even slept well. I am so grateful to find somebody I can rely on and who is willing to be flexable.”
“Candace is the best! She was so loving and patient with our little Maizie. I didn’t worry about our baby, even though it was her first time away from home. She had a blast at “summer camp” with new big-brother Wilbur. Maizie says she can’t wait to come back. Thank you for everything, Candace!”
“My first time leaving my 6 month puppy and I dont believe I could have left her in better hands. Tawna kept me in the loop with pictures and how Scout was doing. I am very grateful Scout had so much to do.”
“Mickenzie is wonderful. Good communication, responds in a timely manner. Her home is well kept and tidy and I appreciate the efforts she makes to keep germs from spreading as I have a young puppy. Would recommend her!”
“Our experience with Zuri was wonderful from start to finish. She was able to take our two dogs on short notice for a few days. She was incredibly accommodating to the needs and energy levels of our 8 year old malipoo and 1 year old boston terrier. She was able to provide medication for our maltipoo. Zuri was very flexible with pick up and drop off times which made leaving and returning from our trip a breeze. She kept us up to date with adorable pictures and videos of our dogs enjoying extra love, cuddles, and play time. Both dogs felt right at home cuddled up on the couch. Our boston terrier especially loved her dog Bonnie and her daughter. She and her daughter provided a safe and loving home for our babies while we were away! I would highly recommend Zuri if you ever need a dog sitter during the day or overnight”
“Wow.. where to start. Debbie was just fantastic. After a free 3 hour trial meet and greet, she agreed to take on my 2 little guys for an extended weekend, and they had a great time! They also came back washed and smelling great! You can tell Debbie loves what she does and the dogs benefit from that immensely. Can't wait to send my dogs on "vacation" again with her! Thank you Debbie!”
“This was our first time boarding Ginny with someone who wasn’t family or close friends, so I was definitely nervous. Dezarae was so great and sent daily updates with photos and videos without us having to ask, which meant a lot. Ginny can have some separation anxiety with me and my partner, but the consistent updates (and little details about how she was doing, especially with crate time) really helped ease my mind. Ginny clearly had the best time. She got comfortable with Dezarae’s dogs quickly and loved being part of their routine. We also booked pretty last minute and she was very flexible and accommodating. Ginny came home happily exhausted in the best way. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“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.”
“Our dog was well taken care of! I the past he has been anxious-shredding up his bed and not eating- when staying away from his home. Not with Gabe! He ate and enjoyed walks, snuggles and even a new doggy friend! Thank you Gabe!”
“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.”
“Hailey and her family were wonderful with our dog, Porter. He does much better in a home environment and they treated him like part of the family. 😀 We will definitely be booking again!”
“Fantastic Rover!! We were in from out of town looking for someone to keep our most loved fur-child. It's always a challenge to feel comfortable with a new person when you are looking to trust your baby for safe and quality care. Elizabeth exceeded our expectations! Not only does she have the absolute best set up for care, but she obviously had genuine concern for the comfort and enjoyment our girl would experience during her stay. A great communicator as well, we will be back next time we have a need and Elizabeth has room for us! Elizabeth, thank you so much for making us feel so confident in your care of Grandiosa!”
“Nicole graciously took in my Alfie at the last minute when my scheduled sitter broke her arm. I was so nervous to leave him, but she put us both at ease immediately. My little guy slept on the bed like home and was cared for by the whole family. Heartily recommend.”
“Dylan was really easy to deal with and accommodating in addition to being great with our pups. (One is a puppy and can be a handful at times, lol). He even sent us videos and pictures while we were gone and didn't seem annoyed at all when we wanted to check in on our pups. We HIGHLY recommend Dylan!”
About: I have experience with all types of cats and dogs, so can adjust to each one’s unique needs and preferences. I am very active and will take your dog for long walks, trail runs, visits to the dog park, or games of fetch in my fenced yard. I will do whatever works to make each pet enjoy their stay so you can relax knowing they are in loving hands.
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Angelica and Bruce were lovely and looked after Sadie with exceptional care - not sure my dog wanted to come home! They have a well-thought care plan, sent updates, and easily adjusted to my schedule. Sadie’s new home away from home!”
“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.”
Salem pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our best friend, Calamity Jane, had a wonderful time with Tania. This is the longest time apart for us and Tania texted daily and sent pics and vids showing our furry pal having fun and looking happy. We're delighted with Tania, will be return customers and can recommend unconditionally.
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. 😊 💯
Very flexible working with them and I loved receiving photos and looks like some really comfy places my dog got to be and sleep and a bonus that my dog also gets some social time with other dogs. Really appreciate the homey touches my dog gets to enjoy while we are away.
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.
We used Gayle for our first time boarding and our dog unexpectedly experienced a high degree of separation anxiety. Gayle provided comfort to our dog and strove to alleviate her fears, as well as worked with our vet to assist with the challenge. Gayle kept us well informed with updates and pictures. She was kind and personable. We felt confident that our dog was remaining safe and receiving competent care while we were away.
Danielle really came through for me at the last minute, I'm so grateful! She was very kind and attentive with my dog, Esther, sending adorable pics and updates. Esther is an anxious girl, but she seemed to relax in Danielle's home, it really put me at ease. Thank you again!
My beagle stayed with Madlin for 4 days, had an issue with another arrangement while I was out of town and Madlin was able to handle everything (picked up my dog and helped both my beagle's stress and my own with great communication). She was a life saver for me and my dog loved her, would recommend her to anyone in the Salem area.
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!
