“Lexie was fantastic! From the moment she arrived, she was a beacon of support, providing frequent updates and delightful photos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. Our dogs took to her immediately, visibly excited and comfortable in her presence. She was exceptionally communicative, always checking in and ensuring that she fully understood and addressed all our specific needs regarding their care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and secure.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our dog! Sammy treated our fur baby with so much love, patience, and genuine care. From regular updates and photos to thoughtful little touches, you could tell she truly cares about the well-being and happiness of the pets she looks after. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a spotless home. Highly recommend Sammy to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and kind.”

About: I have taken care of all my friends and family's pets for as long as I can remember. I love dogs and cats! I have done month long stays at people's houses and I have also done the quick stop ins for potty breaks and feedings. I am currently not working so I have all the time to take care of your pets! I can do quick drop ins, long walks, overnight stays, whatever you need! I like to follow your pets routine. If they are used to morning walks and daily training I will happily do that! If they are more of a couch potato and like to snuggle, I will sit with them for as long as you'd like.

About: Quick introduction! My preferred name is Jinx/Hunter, and my pronouns are she/her or he/him! For legal purposes, Rover needs my government name, which I don't use often unless absolutely necessary. Now on to the pet stuff!!! I've lived with dogs my entire childhood, and I love all breeds! They're a huge interest of mine, and I'm willing to learn as much as I need to in order for me to assure your pet is well taken care of! I'm hoping to work at least 12 hours a day with however many folks are willing to let me care for their pets during the week! I'm currently available anytime between 9am-9pm, but I would ideally like to work Wednesday-Friday. I can do some weekends, but I would have to double check my schedule. I'm able to go to your home and get to know your pet(s) and make sure they know me well enough to develop trust as an extra caretaker! I can feed them and provide enrichment to make sure they're entertained and happy! I love going on walks, so if your dog needs outdoor time, playing, walking, maybe running, I'll do it! I also love cats and I'm willing to accommodate to whatever they may need! For both cats and dogs, I have experience feeding, bathing, claw trimming, walking, and playing!

About: I am a reliable and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong passion for animals. Having cared for pets all my life, I am knowledgeable about a wide range of animals, including horses, dogs, cats, reptiles, and even small fish. I truly love animals and understand the importance of providing them with proper care, attention, and comfort. Over the years, I have cared for many pets for friends and neighbors, and they have consistently praised my animal care skills, responsibility, and dedication to their pets’ well-being. I am a dependable and flexible pet sitter with plenty of availability to give pets the attention and care they need. I currently work part-time and attend school only one day a week for about an hour, which leaves my mornings, evenings, and much of my free time open for pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for pets while caring for them in their own home. I understand that pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I make sure to keep their routines consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I give every pet patience, affection, and personalized care to help them feel relaxed, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.

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.

“We had Staci stay with our Pittie, Jax, in our home, for 15 days. She came over for a meet and greet before we departed and Jax took to her immediately. Staci was dependable, neat, and trustworthy. She took such great care of Jax, even let him sleep with her. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were gone. We came home to find not only a happy dog, but a clean house too. I would definitely rebook with Staci and would recommend her to anyone.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Salem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 641 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Salem walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Salem maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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.

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salem. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
