“Wonderful, wonderful care! Ann is such a loving and caring pet sitter. She is thoughtful of each animal and gives her all! So grateful to have found her, and thankful that my dogs were well cared for during their stay!”
“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.”
“Tracy was amazing with our doggy son! We have always left him with the same sitter for the last 5 years but she was not available for the week we had to go on vacation. We were so relieved he was taken care of with the BEST treatment and love there was to give as she sent pictures and videos the whole trip!”
“My pup has at doggie day care with Hannah and Co. for a while now. Hannah is so caring and Penny has such a good time. She used to run to the fence when I left but now she just runs after Liam. Kudos to Hannah!!”
“Sara was amazing! This was our first time leaving Koda with a sitter, and Sara made the whole process stress-free. The updates/photos were reassuring and allowed us to feel at ease knowing Koda was well taken cared of and having a great time. We highly recommend her!”
“This was the first time we ever left Ziva with a sitter. She usually travels with us but we had a trip planned that we could not take her with us. We were very pleased with Justine & Roman upon meeting them and introducing them to our pup. Ziva seemed well taken care of and they told us they really enjoyed having her. We will definitely consider them when the need for her to be boarded again.”
“Raquel is an AMAZING sitter! She watched my kitten for a week over the holiday and sent so many pictures and updates. I recommend her whole heartedly! Your pet will be cared for and so loved!”
“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”
“Kimi took wonderful care of our goldendoodle, Moose, while we went on mini vacay! Moose loves other dogs and big fenced in yards to roam-he had all that PLUS someone to give him to treats and belly rubs! So happy we found her!”
“Wendy and her family were amazing. They treated my girl like their own. My girl is very finicky with eating and she ate everyday while in her care. I received photos and updates everyday. Very very pleased and will use her again. Highly recommend.”
“My two dogs loved it, they had plenty of space to roam & play fetch. They were so excited to see us, as if to say “we had a great time”. Such a great location, 2 fenced acres to run & play! Pepper sent pictures & video, great comfort. We were traveling to Greenville for a conference & had no idea what to expect. Very happy.”
“Our mini dachshund LOVES staying with Terry & Kristal! She has separation anxiety and usually has a very hard time being away from my husband. The only person she loves just as much as my husband is Terry! They take such amazing care of our dog! I HIGHLY recommend them!!!”
“Laura and her family took amazing care of Kiki! We loved the photos and the updates, and we could tell that Kiki had lots of love and companionship with Laura. It was particularly helpful to know that she has experience with loose leash walking. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone!”
“Lauren and her family are amazing! They truly love animals and my dog, Cooper, loves to go see them when we are traveling without him. I definitely know he is in great hands and being loved on.”
“Jay was absolutely wonderful taking care of my sweet Nora!! She sent me lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout each day, and I could tell Nora was having the best time with her! She took Nora on lots of walks and was very thoughtful during our stay. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone who needs a sitter for their fur baby! ☺️”
“Many thanks to Kristen for being available on short notice after my Dad passed away. Knowing Piper would be well cared for was a comfort to me during a difficult time. Piper is always excited to see Kristen that lets me know he is loved by her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Salem on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 428 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Salem sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Salem landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
Tip: 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.
