Their needs are my top priority I always make sure to pay attention to the small details, as I know those are such an important part of a pets routine.

“Sarah did a great job caring for our cat, Oyster! She sent pictures and updates at every visit and made us feel confident that he was in good hands. We will definitely be using Sarah for future pet care!”
About: From playful doodles to strong Dobermans and newborn Frenchies, I’ve handled many breeds and provide consistent, dependable care every time. I’m flexible with pick up and drop off times! Since I work from home, I have the freedom to give dogs consistent care throughout the day. My schedule allows for regular walks, attention, and supervision! My home provides a safe and calm environment for pets, with easy access to the outdoors. I live in an apartment that makes it simple to take dogs out as needed, whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk.
About: We have had our dog for over 6 years. I have watched puppies, other dogs and senior dogs that required a lot of special attention. I’m a stay at home mom with 5 energetic boys. We live in walking distance to many trails and parks that we take our dog to. I am home most of the time during the day and can take care of pets’ different needs. We have a fenced yard with lots of shade and a 6 year old border collie that loves friends. We live in a calm neighborhood without a lot of outside noise.
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! Pet Sitting Availability (Summer Schedule) I work full-time remotely and am on summer break from school, so I have a flexible schedule to provide reliable and loving care for your pets!

I’m intuitive to your pet’s needs and happy to make accommodations. I do have a cat in my home, so if you’d like your pet to stay here, I ask that it be for a maximum of two nights. For longer stays, I’m happy to care for your pet in your home. I also have veterinary medical experience, so your pet will be in great hands.
“Mayci was the best! She helped us out on a short notice over Christmas, she sent us pictures of our kitty the whole time and took such good care of him. I would recommend her to anybody, thank you!!”
About: While I've grown up with dogs (from little to large breeds), I've an affinity and appreciation for all animals and am confident in my capacity to provide care, respectively. I understand how wonderfully special they are, offering unrivaled companionship, connection, and comfort; that they inspire joy and gratitude in our hearts through their individual character, play, and temperament. My intent and investment in the care of other's animals is to elicit and instill a peace of mind that their care is like that of my own (though, of course, only second best to oneself). I'm currently available, working remotely with a pretty flexible schedule, to attend to your best friend, be it dog, cat, or kiddo's leopard gecko or rabbit. At this time, my kind, attentive, and consistent care extends exclusively to that in / around my clients' homes. I want you and your pet to feel the most at ease -- in that of a known and comfortable environment. I'm amenable and responsive to any instructions, preferences, and needs. Most recently, I cared for a two-year-old mini Golden Doodle (while housesitting in Northern California) that unexpectedly developed an unfortunate "hot spot". Through diligent communication with her owners (who were vacationing in Europe), we coordinated how best to proceed. This included several visits to a vet, where she also, as it turned out, had double ear infections. Treatment protocol required both topical and oral medications twice daily. I recorded an audio of the summary diagnosis from the vet and shared this with her humans, as well as regular updates and photos of the healing progress. Simultaneously, I was asked to move her to a balanced raw diet (like that of my own dog), and which required more effort but that was entirely inline with what I'm already accustomed.
About: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life, volunteering at animal shelters and caring for friends' and relatives' pets. This has given me extensive experience caring for all kinds of animals in various life stages. I have two dogs—Wyatt, an American bully, and Lucy, a Chihuahua. I also have two cats! My experience also includes reptiles, rabbits, and birds. I adore animals and would love to help with any of your pet's needs. :) My schedule is flexible! As a full-time college student taking online classes, I can easily adjust my plans when needed while still caring for my pets. I believe our pets sense the energy around them, so establishing a calm and safe environment, and meeting them at their level, is essential. For our dogs, we have a spacious fenced yard, and I usually let them outside every two hours. We also take daily walks around the neighborhood. When it comes to feeding, I avoid playing to keep mealtime serious. For my own pets, I prepare home-cooked meals twice a day to ensure a balanced diet. I believe they deserve a fulfilling life, which includes nutritious food!
About: let me help you with your furry friends. we do walks and hangout in the yard with lots of toys and kiddie pools during the summwr Pet care is a central part of my daily routine and brings me immense joy and fulfillment. I prioritize setting aside dedicated time each day for feeding, exercising, grooming, and playing with the pets under my care. Whether it's morning walks, interactive play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I ensure that the animals receive the attention and engagement they need to thrive. Overall, integrating pet care into my daily routine is not just a responsibility but a source of happiness and connection with these wonderful creatures. I'm so fortunate to live in a place that's truly a pet paradise! My home boasts a fenced front and back yard, allowing my furry companions to run and play freely in a secure environment. The neighborhood is perfect for leisurely walks, with scenic routes that my pets and I can explore together. The local school is top-notch, reflecting a commitment to education and community that I value. We have a vast collection of toys to share, ensuring that my pets are always entertained .

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 .
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 , 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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
