“Fantastic service. Beautiful country home with huge yard. Sent us photo updates 4 different times. Will use again any chance we get. Thanks again. Danny was so comfortable and super happy.”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“I give Tracy more stars than 5. She goes above and beyond to be sure your pet is comfortable and spoiled. My girl ate for her every day which means a lot when they are away from you. Tracy sent photos and videos of my Suki. It brightened my day and made things easier for me. I highly recommend her to keep your pet. I will be using her from now on.”
“Sara was wonderful with Koda. Sara paid attention to all of Kodas needs. She sent such great pictures of Koda while we were gone and kept in touch. Definitely using her again. Thank you again!”
“Just left our dog with Hannah Michelle for two days and our dog seemed to love it. We got pictures and updates. There was lots of room to run and other compatible dogs to play with. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Kimi is amazing!!!! She has a real special love for animals! I knew my “Bit” was in great hands! After picking her up, she has come back to me more loving and gentle! I give Kimi two thumbs up!!!! Thank You for loving and taking care of my little girl while I was away!”
“Loved the friendliness & promptness. Zeus had a good time & made new friends. Daily updates were great with pics. Zeus seemed well cared for. My family got stuck in NC in snow & we were graciously allowed to extend our reservation to get home safely. Highly recommend & will use again.”
“Haley, Was really great with my boy Sherlock. I was very happy with her professionalism and attention to care for my Sherlock. As well as the updates easing my mind that he was in good hands. Thank you Haley”
“Roman and Justine provided exceptional care for our dog Bauer over the weekend, treating him like family and keeping us updated with photos throughout his stay. They clearly understood his needs and personality, and Bauer came home happy and tired from all the attention and activities. We felt completely at ease the entire time and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.”
“I recently used Rover to board my two dogs at the sitter's home and had an excellent experience. The booking process was easy, and the meet and greet with Terry was reassuring. During their stay, Kristal & Terry provided regular updates with photos and videos, showing that my dogs were happy and well-cared for. They received personalized attention, playtime, and proper feeding and medication. I highly recommend Terry & Kristal for in-home dog boarding and will use their services again.”
“Pamela is an absolute angel and true animal lover. I run a local dog rescue and was in need of a sitter for one of our foster pups for the holiday weekend. Pamela went above and beyond for our sweet Paddington. She consistently sent updates/pics , took him on multiple walks per day, and showered him with love and affection. Moreover, she exceeded her duties as a sitter by helping market and promote Paddington in hopes that he would find his forever family. She sees the beauty in all dogs and is one of the most compassionate and genuine people I have met. I understand that it’s unnerving to leave your fur baby with someone you aren’t acquainted with. However, I can say with the utmost confidence, Pamela will love and care for your dog to the highest regard. You won’t find anyone more amazing than Pamela.”
“I am very nervous with who I leave my Rocky with, but after meeting Sonya and Anthony and all their furry friends I knew Rocky was going to be left in great hands. They had spacious room and area for all their dogs to run and Rocky was so tired from playing when he got back he slept all day Sunday! Sonya was also amazing on sending me updates on Rocky the entire time I was away and kept me in the loop which I was most worried about. Rocky was so happy to be with them and doesn’t like most people but warmed up to them very easily. 1000/10 definitely recommend and would rebook!!”

“Summer was great -- so reliable and responsive! We were visiting relatives for a football game at Clemson and we had our dog in tow. Summer watched our dog for the whole afternoon and was very understanding about the late evening pick up, given how long night football games can go. Summer sent photos and took great care of our guy, and he seemed really comfortable with her. Definitely would recommend her!”
“Leslie was fantastic; so you know, I gave her 5 stars. She sent regular updates via text about my dogs. She incorporated them into her life and did a great job. Clearly they were happy to see me when I got home, but just as evidently they had enjoyed their time with Leslie. I plan to use her again and I would recommend her services to anybody who is looking for some great pet-sitting. Thank you Leslie!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Salem can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 SC 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.
