About: Animals are one of my favorite things in the world. I can take care of all different species, but am most knowledgeable with dogs and cats. I can administer medications, bathe, excercise and more. But most importantly, I can make sure they’re happy and safe! I am home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies and can provide flexible scheduling too! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow feeding schedules, give plenty of attention and playtime, and can crate pets if needed. I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages for peace of mind.
About: I was raised around animals my whole life and I absolutely love any and all animals. I have years of experience with dogs/cats, I also have a pet pig! I would love to care for your furry friends! I work in a hospital and my schedule is 8-5 Monday-Friday. I have free evenings/weekends and would absolutely love to spend that time caring for your pets! I have one female dog who is a little over a year old. She is super playful and friendly and would make a great playmate if needed! I have plenty of toys and treats for any animals and a crate as well.
“Joslyn took care of our 2 senior cats for 2 weeks with daily drop-in visits. She was outstanding. Joslyn is very diligent and caring. I would recommend her to everyone and I will not hesitate to rebook the next time I travel.”
“Marissa did an amazing job! She showed up exactly when she said she would, spent quality time with the pups, and sent plenty of updates and pics of her visit with them. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up around animals taught me early on how much love, patience, and attention they need to thrive. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog with the same care, affection, and responsibility I would give my own. Creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for them isn’t just important to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to be home often and provide attentive, hands on care. This means more playtime, regular walks, consistent routines, and plenty of love for your pup throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for secure outdoor play and exercise, as well as a crate available if a dog is crate trained or needs their own quiet space. I also have a friendly, well socialized Lab who loves other dogs and makes a great companion for pups who enjoy having a playmate.
“Tragina/Nina did an incredible job for us. She went way above and beyond the call of duty!!! She took care of our two Newfoundland dogs for a week and a half. She completed every visit per the schedule we had agreed to. She spent a full 30 minutes with our fur babies for each of her three daily visits. We noticed the above and beyond service when we walked in the door after a week and a half to find she had vacuumed up what we expected to be a full carpeting of Newfy hair. She also cleaned their dog bowls and feeding area for our return. Based on the shininess of their coats I think she may have even brushed our two bear like babies. Thank you Nina!!!”
About: I’ve grown up in a household of dogs my whole life and have dog sat fellow neighbors dogs along the way! I would love to meet and help take care of your dogs! I am able to come by on weekends almost any time and will be available to help around lunch time and later in the evening! I make sure to give my pets lots of loving and pets while also making sure they get the exercise they need throughout the day!
“Tatum has been incredible! She always provides thorough updates on what happened, and our dogs absolutely adore her. Despite the freezing weather, she even went outside with them to ensure they had a great time!”
About: I have always loved dogs! I used to get so mad at my parents as a kid for making our dog stay outside alone. I used to sit outside with her to make sure she always felt loved. When I turned 20 I adopted my first dog, Lily a Great Dane, and then at 23 my husband and I adopted our little chipper! We’ve had a turtle and lots of fish in between then and now! I always loved going on adventures with them: lots of road trips, hikes, runs and trips to the beach (when we lived there). Lily is no longer with us but was the best dog to adventure with. Our 13 year old chipper is starting to slow down and his arthritis is causing him to be unable to walk as far as we used to. He’s been on all the hikes around here, we would go to watering holes and beaches. With smallish kids and busy schedules we are not planning on adopting another dog anytime soon. I miss having a buddy to go on hikes in the woods with so if you want your pup to have an adventure I am here to help! I’m a full time mom but I don’t pick up my youngest from school until 11:30 am. I will have 3 hours everyday free M-Fr. I would love to take your best friend out into the woods to offer him more enrichment than he could get just in a neighborhood! I would be willing to buy a harness for a dog to be kept in the back seat while traveling- if that would make you comfortable! I’ve got window locks on my back door windows to make sure they don’t jump out. I am not willing to take a dog if the lead during hikes even if they have a great recall- too much can happen in the woods! I’m pretty confident on the hikes that I take and I only go places that I am familiar with the terrain.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My own dogs, my neighbors have asked me to drop in while they were on vacation, and my parents friends have had me dog and house sit while they were away. I take the time to get to know what the pets need instead of taking a one size fits all approach. I’m available all week, whatever time. I’m not working any other jobs so I’m available whenever pets need it or pet parents want an extra check in or reassurance. I make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s in a crate or just on a bed, constantly check their food and water, and make sure they’re good and tired before I stop playing with them.
About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.
About: I love all dogs & cats, I mean it’s hard not to love them! I’ve been taking care of cats & dogs since I was a little kid. I’ve always been the one to pet sit for my family. I’ve even worked at a no kill non profit shelter. I’m unable to have an animal of my own at the moment so pet sitting is the closest I can do to having one. I promise to love & care for your pet like I would my own! I’m a military wife who works from home so my schedule is very flexible to yours! I also have a 5yr old daughter & a 2 yr old son who are acclimated to cats, dogs, any farm animal, etc. Sometimes they will be with me (I would let you know before we book)! Im also open to setting up meet & greets with or without them there. My house has lots of land to explore on with no other animals at this time. In your home I will attend to only your animals as needed. I will follow all of your pet instructions to a T.
About: I’ve worked in the veterinary field for 15+ years. I’ve done everything from training puppies, bottle feeding kittens, to caring for senior babies. Ever since I was a little girl, animals have been a huge part of my life. I’m currently a stay at home animal Mom. My availability is open. However, I will be going back to work mid February 2025. I’ll have 3 days off during the week. My house is in the woods sitting on 6 acres and it is fenced in. I do have my own, very friendly fur babies. I also have a livestock guardian dog who, when he’s not trying to be a 120 pound lap dog, he guards ducks, chickens, and 2 very spoiled goats named Dolly and Jolene. Your babies would definitely have lots of supervised play time and exercise. If I care for a pet in your home, I am very respectful of your home and property.
About: My name is Sara! I'm a dog enthusiast with 20 years experience training, exercising, and caring for dogs. I graduated from Penn Foster Career School's Dog Training Program. I love to help people fulfill their dogs needs! I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work with dogs full time so I'm able to fulfill their daily needs with ease. We walk every day but also go on adventures to the park and beach. I'm Pet CPR and First Aid Trained. I have a completely fenced yard, but dogs are supervised at all times. I have experience with fearful dog safety. Dogs are crated or tethered while driving. Someone is almost always home with the dogs. I also have a Furbo video camera to monitor dogs if I do need to leave for a short time. ***Due to having 2-3 dogs staying with me at times, I only offer meet & greets, pick up, and drop off from my clients homes. I find this keeps the excitement and stress level down for all dogs staying. It's also more convenient for you and me. If you want to see the accommodations, I can do a video tour with you.***

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
Ann was absolutely amazing with our two Golden Retrievers, Murphy and Maggie, while I was away on business. You can tell right away that she truly loves animals — her warmth and care shine through in everything she does. She was prompt, thorough, and made sure both dogs had plenty of time to potty and get attention before she left. Ann also sent lots of great photos from each visit, which gave me total peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. I’m so glad we found her through Rover and would highly recommend Ann to anyone looking for someone dependable and genuinely caring to look after their pets. Murphy and Maggie adored her — and so did we!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Salem stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
