About: Neighbors, friends, and family always ask me to pet sit for them. I've stayed up to 2 weeks with pets! I'll watch dogs, cats, fish, and even birds! There's never been a job too difficult for me to handle. I currently work from 7am-3:30 pm Monday through Friday, but I have flexibility within those hours! Nights and weekends will be best for me to spend time with your pets. All of my pets I've owned have had boundaries that we maintained through training. I'm very comfortable with crate training and leash training. If there's a routine you want implemented, I'll follow it to the last detail.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 6 years with my Shar Pei, so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and attention our pets deserve. I’ve also spent the last 2 years caring for two cats, which has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and way of showing affection. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, litter box cleanup, belly rubs, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m patient with shy pets, happy to follow specific routines, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, drop-ins, and overnight stays so your pet’s normal routine stays as consistent as possible. I’m also flexible with weekends and will always communicate clearly about availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow all instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any house rules. I keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and keep everything clean. You’ll also get photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

About: Hi, I’m Audrey, I’m a pet sitter with a deep love for animals and a strong background in animal care. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and horse barns, so I’m no stranger to messes or hard work, and I don’t mind getting a little dirty if it means happy pets. I used to work as a veterinary technician and now work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to spend quality time with your pets. I love being outdoors, so high-energy dogs can expect plenty of walks and hiking adventures. I’m especially fond of big dogs and cats, and I always aim to treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pets company while you're away, I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family!

I have my own chihuahua mix and live in a household with 2 other dogs as well. I also have experience with farm animals including horses, goats, chickens, cows, and semi-feral cats. Love outdoor treks including hiking and camping, and even have some experience with special needs animals. I live in Sandy but am willing and able to travel to make sure the needs of your pet are met. Expert cuddler and treat giver, love to help with training, and am not squeamish about messes.

Wednesdays are especially flexible for me, and I'm happy to coordinate drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays around my work schedule. As a lifelong animal lover with a house full of pets, caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life! I'm accustomed to feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, playtime, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. For overnight stays, I'm always upfront about my work commitments so we can make sure your pet's routine and care requirements are a great fit. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, including large breeds, multi-pet households, and senior animals. One of my own senior dogs has severe arthritis and cannot walk independently, so I'm familiar with providing gentle mobility assistance, helping with meals, and accommodating pets who need extra patience and care. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, respect their home, and pay close attention to their pet's behavior and comfort. I'm also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Salem is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $21 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,116 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salem. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
