About: I have a loving family of six with AWESOME indoor and outdoor space to take great care of your furry besties. I am home most days and nights full time. 3 of our kids homeschool, and assist with much of the work and care. I’ve cared for pets large and small, young and senior, my whole life. Our outdoor space is large and fully fenced with shade and grass to play and relax in. I can also care for pets as needed indoors in our main living spaces. My space offers many options for play, rest, and I’ll make sure they’re loved, happy, and healthy. I am home often during the day and always at night. Part of our children’s education is to learn responsibility and to work well and often in the home. Caring for others pets as a business teaches love, care, empathy, work, and so much more. Their care will be a high priority in my home! Fully fenced large backyard with lush grass and shade. Roomy indoor pet-friendly spaces. Daily exercise and play for friends with lots of energy. Many opportunities for caring human interaction.
“Kelsey was able to do a last minute drop in visit on a holiday. I couldn’t thank her enough! I loved the photos and was so glad to see my little guy taken care of. Thank you again!!”
About: I’ve had the absolute pleasure looking after numerous dogs and cats, tailoring my approach to each pets unique needs. From high-energy pups to senior friends, I’ve provided attentive care, ensuring their comfort, exercise, and happiness. I currently work and attend school remotely with a flexible schedule to take care and play with your pups or cats. I’m available both weekdays and weekends. I live in a house and have the schedule to take your dog out on long walks or runs. There are many trails that I know of that I like to go to often. I am an avid runner and hiker who is always looking for an excuse to be outside. Let me know if your pet has any specific needs or behaviors to attend to. I am comfortable with any breed or size of pet.
About: I’ve owned many different breeds of dogs and cats since I was a little child. I love animals and believe they are apart of the family and should be treated as such! I currently have two amazing golden retrievers and a cat. We love our pets! I am currently a stay at home mom with two toddlers who also love animals! My kids are the kids that see a dog in a park and immediately make a beeline towards them. We love to spend time with our two dogs and cat. Since we spend most of our time at home, accommodations for your animals would be a breeze. Sitting on half an acre fully fenced yard, we enjoy plenty of time playing outside. Our animals are part of our family and we love to play with them and just hang out inside and outside.
“She was such a great fur-babysitter! She did a great job taking care of our cat while my wife and I were away for a vacation. She played with him and provided him with lots of love and attention for us! She also sent updates from every visit. We will definitely try and book her again if we have to leave him again.”
About: Need a sitter who truly understands dogs? I’ve had pets my whole life and currently raise a happy, 2.5 year old pup who is a total social butterfly. Your dog won't just get a attentive sitter—they’ll get a built-in playmate! I love reinforcing good manners and ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and thoroughly entertained. I am currently on summer break from school and am home full time. Our days include playtime at home, walks around the neighborhood, and an occasional trip to the dog park. I have an unfenced grassy area outside my front door that we use for play. May dog is also always up for play. I am able to crate dogs if needed too.
“Very happy with Grace and Lance. They were able to come play with our dog with very little notice and flexible with a willing attitude. Even noticed the water needed filling and took care of that!”
About: I've always loved dogs and taking care of them! From dog walking when I was younger to now having and taking care of our own dog for the last seven years. I'm a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very flexible. I can walk, board, or drop in at anytime to accommodate your schedule. We have a large fenced back yard, and a kennel for your dog so you don't have to bring one. We also have a super friendly dog that loves to play!
About: My husband and I have had dogs big and small growing up so we’re very familiar with their mannerisms, behavior and unique personalities. We’ve had our own dogs for four years and love them dearly, they’re our babies! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom so I am available and pretty flexible for the most part throughout the day. My dogs help me around the house as I get things done. I have a fenced in yard with two of my own dogs to keep yours company! Occasionally I let the dogs inside to hang out and eat, or depending on the weather to keep warm/cool. At bedtime I bring them in to sleep in their dog crate.
About: I am trustworthy, reliable, and flexible. I have great interpersonal skills, communication skills, and a love for animals. I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have taken care of dogs and other animals since I was a a kid. In our house, we like to walk, feed, play and snuggle with any type of dog. I spend most of my days at home with my kids throughout the week. We have time to care for and play with your pup almost the whole day! I am a stay-at-home mom of four children, ages 8-16. We also have two fur babies: Rocco, an Australian Shepherd, age 8, and Kia, an English Cream Golden Retriever, age 6. I live in a safe neighborhood with beautiful trails within walking distance. Large home and yard for pets to roam and play. I do not have a fenced yard
About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for animals and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience owning, training, and caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including seniors and high-energy breeds. From a young age, I began regularly walking, training, and caring for neighbors’ pets after they saw how well-mannered and happy my animals were. I’m attentive, patient, and highly observant of animal behavior, which helps me create a calm, safe environment and respond to each dog appropriately. I’m also experienced in caring for cats and am comfortable managing a variety of temperaments and routines for animals of all kinds. Providing reliable, compassionate care and giving pet parents peace of mind is something I truly value, and I love building trust with both pets and their people and creating a genuine relationship! Every morning I take the pups on a walk or run, and on every day but Tuesdays and Thursdays, I do backyard playtime in the afternoon, then every day in the evenings is indoor playtime. And on the weekends, I love to take my dogs on long hikes, to the dog park, or to go swimming! Please note that I am a student, so there will be times when they will need to be alone and unsupervised, usually kenneled, but I make it a point to expend energy before and after an absence like that so they will want to nap whilst I am away. I am very experienced in interpreting dog behavior/body language and handling stressful situations. I value honesty and transparency, and you can be sure to expect pictures and videos! :) I am willing to feed, walk, water, and brush your animals. Whatever they need, I am up for it!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, including our current 7 year old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix that we’ve had since she was just 6 weeks old. We are all about dogs. We have a backyard, a doggie door, and are generally a very pet friendly household. My schedule is pretty open. I am available almost all the time unless otherwise stated. I’m willing to work with schedules for flexibility and/or reoccurring schedules. I have started work again, but I am able to work from home any day that I would be caring for your pet.(: We live in a single story home, with a fenced in, grass back yard. We also have a doggie door to provide quick and easy access to the yard.
“Emily did a fantastic job watching over my two cats while I was away. She got them to like her very quickly and made sure to take pictures so I could see that they were okay while I was gone.”

I'm able to walk your pets, or drop by all hours of the day. I'll make sure they're well taken care of and loved 😋🩷 I have an open house, large back yard and a sizable built in kennel off to the side of the house.

About: I’ve loved and owned dogs throughout my whole life. As a kid I would go around to my neighbors and walk and play with their dogs daily. I’ve learned to love figuring out wow to train and deal with various types of dog personalities. In my opinion dogs are the purest form of life there is :) I’m currently on the off season for summer sales so my availability is perfect for those who need a little more help or just a last minute walk ! I am very great with pets and very respectful with my surroundings. Caring for your pet in your home takes the anxiety and stress away from you and your pet because they already know their surroundings and are very comfortable there. What ever system you have set, I just jump right in !

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Salem choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Salem with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
