“Courtney was terrific! Their family made sure our dog felt like family & our dog took to them right away. Courtney communicated promptly, was flexible with our schedule & sent great pics during the stay. Perfect Rover experience!! We will definitely have our dog stay there next time we are in the area.”
“We had a great experience with Jodi, Will definitely be using her again! She was great at sending videos and pictures. We knew our dogs were in great hands and were treated like her own.”
“We needed a last minute sitter and Tiffanie was wonderful. Our little guy is still learning and she was so patient with him. Everything on Tiffanie’s side was wonderful. Our little guy just needs to keep being trained and she was so understanding of that.”
About: I have cowboy corgi named Bubba that I’m obsessed with. He loves having other dogs over to play with! We promise to take good care of your pup! I work from home doing customer service Monday-Friday full time. Your dog gets a morning bathroom break, mid day bathroom break, and one in the evening with the walk of the day. They’ll get to hangout with myself, bubba, and my husband. They can even sleep in our bed if that’s what they normally do with you. I live in a condo so I will take them out on leash for bathroom breaks and walks. They’re is a walking path in my neighborhood that is great for dogs.
“I just picked up my dogs from Stephanie, and they had the best time! She was super responsive from the start—quick to reply and easy to communicate with. Throughout their stay, I got a bunch of great pictures and updates, which really gave me peace of mind. You can tell she and her family gave my pups a ton of love and playtime—both of them came home happy and completely worn out (the best kind of tired). Definitely booking with Stephanie again!”
“Talia and Owen were great! They were so responsive and communicated well. They took lots of pictures and gave me lots of updates. Our furr baby seemed really happy there and we felt so grateful they were able care for her over Christmas!”
“Kayla was incredible. She was so flexible with my schedule and took such great care of our labradoodle Gus. She even gave him a bath and brushed him out! Will definitely be scheduling her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for years. I’m experienced with high-energy breeds, multi-dog homes, and dogs who need a calm, structured routine. I understand how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. I work from home full time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor breaks. I’m available for boarding everyday, and I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines so they feel comfortable and secure. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Norwegian Elkhounds who love having a playmate. We also have a secure doggy door so pups can go in and out freely during the day. All free-roam areas (inside and outside) have cameras so I can monitor everyone for safety. At night, the doggy door is closed, and dogs can either free roam the house or be crated if that’s part of their routine. I can also set your dog up in our quiet guest room if they prefer space. My home is calm, clean, and safe, and I treat every pet like part of my family.
“Ashlee and her family were so stellar. This was the first time we'd ever boarded our sweet dane and we were very concerned for her anxiety but she loved staying with Ashlee's family and we loved how loved our Dane was. We will absolutely use Ashlee again. Not only was she great with our pup but she accommodated our wacky changes in schedule when we missed our flights and were delayed by a day.”
“The best experience! Angela and her son were genuinely excited to have our dog, took great care of him, and sent me pictures and videos. I was completely relaxed on my trip knowing he was in the best care and having fun. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Jillian is amazing! She did so much more than I expected. You can tell she loves animals and is passionate about her work. She gave me complete peace of mind. I recommend her 100%.”
“Isabella and her family are definitely 5 stars and were so kind and sweet to our dog and loved her as much as we do. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. Isabella’s dog was also very gentle and playful with our dog. We will definitely use Isabella in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Niki was incredible! We had a last minute need arise and she happened to be available. She was wonderful with our Frankie girl. Sent us daily photos and updates. Even sent Frankie home with a darling blanket and a thank you card FOR US! I am blown away by her kindness and care for our fur baby. We will for sure be repeat customers!”
“The we consistent in following up with us. They met us a few days prior in the park to meet our dog. They sent photos and updates each day and were very nice. He played a lot at their house and was happy and tired when we picked him up.”
“Lisa was wonderful with our six month old active puppy Mabel. She was very patient and playful with our puppy. Lisa did a great job at helping Mable get comfortable with her home. She was great at sending pictures and updates. I would absolutely use her again!”

Robb was excellent! My dog, Zuko, was rehomed several times and has some behavioral issues, but Robb was great with him and Zuko warmed up to him by day 1 (which is not always the case with strangers!). As someone with a reactive dog, I also really appreciate that Robb only takes one dog at a time and has a private fenced yard, which is a huge win for us! Robb was very communicative, sent lots of updates, and gave Zuko so much attention and playtime. I would definitely recommend Robb and his kids!
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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Salem is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $49 per night. 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.
There are 630 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Salem. About 92% of Salem sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
