“Kyra is extremely professional, responds quickly to messages, and follows instructions to a t. Our dog is high energy and a lot to handle, but Kyra took it on without any complaints and he came home healthy and tired from clearly a fun time with Kyra's pack. We will be using Kyra for all of our dogsitting needs in the Salem area for sure.”
“Rowan really enjoys spending time with Jennifer and her family. Jennifer is great to work with. She communicates well and often and always sends photos/videos. I am always comfortable when I know Rowan is safe and happy with Jennifer. You know your dog is happy to be there when they are excited to be there again...that's how Rowan is when spending time with Jennifer 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.”
About: Hello, I’m Anna! I’m a current graduate student at Pacific University navigating the world of online school. It’s a bit of a bummer, but has made it that much easier to be available for you and your fur baby! I’ve grown up with my own dog as well as regularly pup-sitting for family and friends! I have done both dog sitting in their homes, as well as taking them into my own home. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, though smaller breeds would likely be more comfortable at my place. I’m happy to go for a walk or run, or just hang out on the couch, whatever they prefer! I’m the type of person who goes out of my way to say hello to a pup and give them love! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! To those interested/concerned: I am fully vaccinated against COVID and am more than willing to take any necessary precautions to make you feel safe during this time!
“The best doggie summer camp!! This was Bennett’s second time to stay here and when we drove in, he immediately started begging to get out of the car to play! Bennett made lots of friends and came home relaxed. We’ll be back again soon!”
“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.”
“Erika is wonderful and Moko her dog is so sweet! Our dog, Lu can sometimes be nervous about making new friends and she was so patient and kind and accommodating to help her and introduce her. Lu was well loved and cared for and looks forward to seeing Erika again!”
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.
“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. 😊 💯”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Amazing care!!!! Elizabeth knew we were concerned to leave our new to us dog for the first time and sent the perfect amount of pictures and texts!!! Our little guy also made great doggy friends and came home after 2 days happy, relaxed and tired!!!!!! I recommend Elizabeth to anyone who needs a knowledgeable, competent and loving caregiver!!!!”

Bailey had a great time staying with Dezarae at her home. I knew she was well taken care of and happy during her stay while I was on a trip. Dezarae gave me updates with photos and videos. Her own dogs got along well with Bailey. I will be using her again in the future. 🐶
Madlin was great! Our dog gets extremely anxious in new environments and unfortunately had an accident upon arrival to her home. She was very kind and understanding and continued with his boarding. By the end of the stay, he was happy and relaxed and had been well taken care of! Madlin updated us each day and provided photos. We would highly recommend her to anyone!
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!

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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
