“We could tell that Olivia took great care of our cats because they were so calm and unstressed when we returned! Wonderful! Their food area was nice and tidy, and everything looked good. Well done!”
“We have one cat who can be spicy around strangers, and another cat with health issues that sometimes make him sensitive, but Lance did a great job respecting their boundaries while also making sure they were well-cared after while we were away. Our boy cat especially seemed to enjoy lap time during the visits. Lance was also very willing to help with other minor tasks, like bringing unexpected packages inside.”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals, but I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs. I started pet sitting for friends and family when I was 12, and have been doing it on and off since! I am an experienced dog owner who has worked with dogs of all sizes. I would love to meet your puppy! I’m currently working part time, but it is very flexible! I can make almost anything work. I don’t currently have a dog of my own so I will give yours all the love I have. My puppy of 13 years passed away in February. My husband and I are dogless for now as we move around, but once we get settled he’s gonna have to beg me not to adopt every dog at the shelter!
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats my whole life. My mom was a veterinary Tech so I’ve always been around animals. I currently raise four special needs cats of my own. I am a tattoo apprentice currently, and I make my own schedule, so I am more than willing to work within your needs for whatever works for both you and your furry friend! I have tons of experience with animal care and promise and very hands on experience with your loved on. they will be loved on and completely supervised. I promise to treat them as one of my own!
About: I owned pets my entire life, i had two small dogs that i love. i trained my puppy different commands and my other dog was a senior dog she lived until 19ish years maybe 20. i volunteer at different animal shelters occasionally. I love cats and dogs they’re my favorite i am currently working part time at a coffee shop, my hours are pretty flexible and i am in college. so i still have a flexible schedule but there will be times during the day i wont be able to check in. and i will have to go back and forth throughout the day, longest amount of hours id be gone is probably around 4. i live in an apartment that doesn’t allow pets, so i would have to stop by clients homes if they allow me and would prefer that. I would happily bring your pets to a park, or let them stay with me for a couple hours but i can’t have them stay overnight.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals my whole life, both big and small dog breeds, cats, bunnies, and horses. I’ve trained multiple different dog breeds. And pet sat for friends and family since I was twelve. I’ve fostered before and spent the past spring/summer volunteering at a shelter in Spanish fork so I’ve worked with a variety of personalities! I love animals and have tons of experience in animal care!!! I’m a full time student but all my classes are online or hybrids except for my labs. I have an organic chemistry lab on Tuesdays from 6-10pm but often get out early and live with my sister who can help out during that longer stretch of time. I have a fenced yard and I live within walking distance of multiple parks, one that is also fenced in. I am flexible and can adapt to whatever you and your pets specific needs might be!
About: Over my 5 years of pet service my love for all animals has grown and i’m very excited to always meet new animals! I grew up taking care of animals my whole life from rabbits to dogs and cats. My days are very open and I will have lots of time to spend with your pets. Time away from sit varies by owners (will abide by max allotted time away from pets) Full service from feeding and walking to being let out and sleeping arrangements will very on if they do better in a cage or free roam

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
Kaylie is the BEST! My cat is so shy, but Kaylie was able to help her feel comfortable and play with her while we were gone. She is great at communicating and was very caring. I would highly recommend her if you need someone to check on your animals when you’re away!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Salem is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $18 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
