About: I've owned and cared for various pets over the past 20 years. I've gained experience caring for animals outside of my own pets by working at shelters and vet clinics. I performed tasks ranging from kennel cleaning to assisting the vet in surgeries. I can do grooming such as bathing, brushing, and nail trimming. I have a passion for hiking and would love to take your pup along for the adventure, of course, doing so safely! My schedule is flexible and adaptable, allowing me to accommodate your needs as well as those of your pups. I am willing to adjust my hours and routines to best suit your specific requirements, whether it's early mornings, evenings, or weekends. This ensures that I can provide tailored care and support for you and your pets, no matter what your daily schedule entails. I will treat your beloved furbaby as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I will meticulously follow all specific requests and instructions you provide regarding their care, routines, and any special needs. Rest assured, your pup is in trustworthy hands with me.
About: I have cared for my own pets for many years. More recently we acquired a trained service dog for our son. During training I learned so much about dog behavior and communication. I preform daily grooming, exercise and training practice. Reinforcing recently learned commands and working on bad habits won’t be a problem here! Managing special diets, medications and wound or ear care can be discussed! We feed our dogs 2x a day. Dogs are walked in our semi-rural neighborhood. Dogs may play in our fenced yard with or without other dogs (weather permitting). In poor weather dogs can play in our basement for some exercise and mental stimulation! I am a SAHM so my schedule is flexible. Pups that visit our home will enjoy a safe, fenced (and locked) yard, dog friendly home. We take care not to have any potentially dangerous products in our home. We supervise dogs with toys to make sure they don’t become a hazard.
“Lexie exceeded all of our expectations for our German shepherd. She was an excellent communicator, took great care of our fur baby, and definitely put me at ease while we were traveling. I will definitely be re booking with Lexie again.”

“Kelsey is exceptional ! The absolute best! She was consistent in her care for my dog and showed up for every scheduled visits on time or even early. When you leave your dog at home, you want someone who communicates well, spends the time and gives the love. Kelsey does all three. Our dog loved her. And last of all, the pictures. You can skip the professional photographer appointment for your Spot or Lucy. Kelsey takes really professional-looking photos of your dog. I've had my dog for 7 years and she landed at least 3 top 10 photos in only 4 days. Pretty awesome person. Good heart and very kind. I highly recommend her !”

Our private, secure facility features a fully fenced grass yard, fun dog ramps, and supervised fresh water pools for splashing.

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 have a retired service dog, and can do both sitting at your home and boarding at mine. I have watched both small and large dogs, as well as cats, reptiles, and rodents. I use to work at a farm with horses, and know my way around critters both great and small. I can provide outdoor baths if the weather is above 60 degrees, and some light training if wanted. I am in college taking classes from 10 to 1, and also work as a janitor for a school, working from 4 to 7. I am not home on Sunday mornings for about 2 hours, due to church, so any dogs will need to be OK being home alone either in a crate or loose in a room for that time period. I have my retired service dog, Wiley, who is very friendly with other dogs. I have a indoor grass patch that dogs can use, as well as the lead line i can put them out on. I am not able to walk very well, so can't do long walks, but I have a good arm and can throw a ball for 20 minutes several times a day, in the park near my house. I can provide a hose bath provided the temperature is above 60 degrees, and can use my large car to go to dog parks. Dogs are allowed on the bed, but will sleep in a crate if that is how they sleep at home. I have bones for dogs to chew on, and plenty of toys. I dont allow balls in the house, my dog has learned how to throw them himself to chase.

About: I believe every pet deserves individual attention, kindness, and respect. I am happy to follow your dog's daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I also understand the importance of communication and will gladly provide updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while your furry family member is in my care. I can arrange my schedule to provide pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am available for scheduled visits, walks, and overnight care depending on my availability. I always communicate with pet owners in advance to make sure their pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I always follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I believe in providing a clean, peaceful, and loving environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routines. I also provide regular updates and pictures so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

Kaylie is the BEST! My cat is so shy, but Kaylie was able to help her feel comfortable and play with her while we were gone. She is great at communicating and was very caring. I would highly recommend her if you need someone to check on your animals when you’re away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Salem is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $20 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 1,142 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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
- 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.
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.
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.
