“Robb and his kids were AMAZING!!! We chatted before booking to make sure he was great fit. He made sure to understand our dog and took the time to make his stay comfortable. He gave our dog tons of exercise, which is hard to do, and respected his very fickle boundaries. We got daily updates and our dog looked so comfortable in all the photos he sent. They gave him so much love, care, and treated him like family. It was the best experience we have EVER had on this app- and we’ve had a lot!”
“Marsha was great! She really made us feel comfortable leaving our puppy. She kept us updated throughout the stay and we really easy to communicate with and quick to reply for drop offs and pick ups.”
“Taylee was an amazing pet sitter! She took wonderful care of my dogs and kept me updated throughout their stay. When I picked them up, they were happy and tired from all the fun they had. I highly recommend Taylee for anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Thor seemed to love his stay at Cinthya’s! He got lots of exercise and was happy to spend so much time outside. Cinthya was great at communicating, and we were grateful she could take Thor so last minute.”
“Brecken did a great job, and we appreciated the attention and care she gave our dogs while we were away on vacation. She was gracious to accept our last-minute booking when another sitter cancelled last minute. Our dogs have a lot of energy and can be a handful, but Brecken did a good job navigating the situation. We appreciated her communication by keeping us updated throughout the week with pictures. Overall, it was a good experience and we would recommend her to friends. Most importantly, we trust the dogs were well-taken care of and we would like to have her help us again. Thank you Brecken!”
“Alexus was a wonderful sitter for our elderly dog, Lily. She was patient, took care of shielding Lily from the things she is allergic to, and kept us up-to-date on how she was doing. We really appreciated her efforts with Lily, who is quite deaf and partially blind.”
“Kara is the best! Our dog loves to be with her and play with her kids! We have used her for a few years now, and love her personalized care toward us and our doggy.”
“They were great with the pups. They always sent pictures. They cared for them like they were their own dogs and incorporating them into the household with inside and outside time. They followed our instructions perfectly.”
“Mark and Corrie were so helpful in taking care of our pup while we were out of town. We got regular updates from them, including videos and pictures of how he was doing, and he came home happy and well taken care of!”
“Tammy and family were great! Very responsive communicators, the dogs seemed to have a great time, and they were exhausted when they came home. Pretty much everything you could ask for.”
“From the moment we dropped our dog off, we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We received updates and photos daily. Definitely will use Chelsey again to board our dog. Great experience!!”
“Avery is the best! Her entire house is clean and totally dedicated to the care of her boarded dogs.She sent daily pictures and we never had the slightest worry about our Snuggles who got to play and romp around every day.Very impressed and highly recommended!”
“Went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable her first time overnight in an unfamiliar place! So grateful for the pictures and video updates that helped reassure me that she was enjoying her time!”
“Alley and Trevor have a big heart for the love and care of animals. I knew it immediately from reading their profile but witnessed it on the night I dropped our puppy off for a 5 day stay away from our home. Our pup was warmly welcomed into their home and cared for in our absence. I received daily photos or text messages to reaffirm the care of our dog. I will use them again and recommend them to others who are looking for care of their own animals. Highly satisfied.”
“Tucker was sad to leave them! Lindsey and her family took an amazing care of him. Super loving, communicative and flexible. We cannot be more appreciated. We were able to enjoy our trip to Utah thanks to them. Thank you again!! ??”
“This is a great place for your dog. We were gone for 2 weeks and received picture updates. They have young children and they were sad to see our dog Marty leave. It is nice to have a local place that we feel confident to drop our dog off for extended stays.”
“This was our first time leaving Minnie with anyone and Ashley made it a great experience! She sent pictures and kept us updated on how she was doing. Minnie became one of the family while staying with Ashley. We will definitely be using her again. It was the perfect environment for our puppy to play and be loved.”

My crazy girl had another great stay with Robb and his team! I had a problem with my vehicle in the morning of the drop off, but Robb was super understanding and was ok with me pushing the drop off time 2 hours later the initial time. Really appreciate being patient with my crazy girl!
Wish I could give more stars!⭐️ Nicole is flexible, personable and Mango forgot about us about 2 seconds after we got there! Her children are sweet, and loving and I’m sure were a big part of Mango’s happy experience. I loved her friendly little dog pack and mango loved joining her pack for the day. She was happy and non-punishing😂 when we picked her up which was a first for us. She was EXHAUSTED the whole next day. My husband joked that our little princess might need a day with Nicole at least once a month whether we go on vacation or not! 😂 She absolutely loved running around and checking on the cows and being on the farm. We will use Nicole again and again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Salem on Rover is $39.96 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 652 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.
98% 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 UT 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.
