“Waverly was great with our kids, even our fussy one. She won her over. She took great care of the kids and was great communicating with us before, during and after. We'll be sure to book her again. Thanks Waverly!”


About: What sets me apart is the amount of time, attention and companionship your dog will receive while in my care. I've spent more than 25 years around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I've trained several of my own. This experience helps me understand different personalities and adapt to each dog's unique needs. I work from home, so dogs in my care are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision throughout the day. To ensure every pet gets the attention they deserve, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time. This allows me to provide a more personalized experience and helps each dog feel comfortable, safe and at home. Whether your dog loves to be active or prefers a quieter environment, I tailor their stay to fit their needs. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, play time in the yard, and visiting the dog park for dogs that are social and enjoy that environment. My home is filled with love, attention, and plenty of opportunities for play, cuddles, and companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I'm already caring for my own dog. I am a stay at home mom, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day—not long hours alone. I have a dog of my own and make exercise and enrichment a priority, whether that's trips to the dog park, walks around the neighborhood, playtime in our fenced yard, or one-on-one activities tailored to your dog's personality and comfort level. Because I'm always home and have a flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate a variety of drop-off and pick-up times. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. I like to care for every pet as if they were my own while making sure to follow their owner's routine and preferences as close as possible. I prioritize safety, affection and plenty of stimulation. I follow a normal 2x a day feeding schedule, provide regular potty breaks, daily exercise/playtime and a comfortable place to relax. I can also administer oral medication if needed. I pay close attention to each dog's personality and energy level so they feel comfortable and stress-free during their stay.
“We have booked Shaelynn a few times now and are very happy with her! She takes great care of our cats and is very reliable. She also takes plenty of pictures. She even gets our stubborn Tortie to play! We will definitely make her our first choice when we need someone again!”

“Meretta is amazing! She went above and beyond for my cat while I was gone. She really won her over and loved her check ins by the end of the week! Meretta is very trustworthy and communicative, I would highly recommend her to anyone! I loved getting lots of cute pictures of my kitty while away.”

“Gayle was amazing with my dog! My dog gets nervous around new people, but Gayle came in and did such a great job! Sent me communications and pictures. I will definitely keep using her to help watch my pup 🥰”


About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. My experience includes feeding, walking, playing, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup! I’m available on weekdays until 4:00 PM, making me a great option for daytime walks or drop-in visits. I’m also available most weekends, so whether you need care during the week or a weekend getaway, I’d love to help. I have four fur babies of my own at home who I adore. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine to reduce stress. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household requests. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved until you return.

“Brianna was fantastic. She came and sat with our little anxious Millie twice a day. She sent us pictures while we were away and contacted us with any questions. She also was kind enough to keep an eye on our outside plants to make sure the drip system was working properly so all my plants didn’t die. Will definitely have her sit for us again.”

About: With over a decade of experience working at a professional doggy daycare, I know exactly what it takes to keep pups safe, happy, and entertained! On my days off, I run a special "Doggy Bus" adventure. I will personally pick up your furry friend and chauffeur them to our fully equipped daycare facility. Their day includes splashing in the fresh water pool, a dedicated walk, and plenty of fresh water and doggy cookies. It’s the ultimate VIP day out, backed by 10+ years of professional pet care experience! This exclusive Doggy Bus adventure is a 5-6 hour VIP experience, currently available on weekends. I will personally pick up your pup in our specialized doggy bus between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. After a fun-filled day of play, swimming, and walking at our private facility, I will safely drop them back off at home between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM. With over 10 years of professional doggy daycare experience, your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities! Our private, secure facility features a fully fenced grass yard, fun dog ramps, and supervised fresh water pools for splashing. During the day, we take small pack walks (up to 4 dogs at a time) on quiet back roads. If your pup isn't up for a walk, they can safely chill and play at the daycare! All dogs have constant access to fresh drinking water, plenty of shade, and get treated to delicious doggy cookies.

“Monica is awesome! She was great with our three dogs! They loved having her come and take care of them. She was great at communicating with us and sent lots of pictures. We will use her again.”

About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for animals and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience owning, training, and caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including seniors and high-energy breeds. From a young age, I began regularly walking, training, and caring for neighbors’ pets after they saw how well-mannered and happy my animals were. I’m attentive, patient, and highly observant of animal behavior, which helps me create a calm, safe environment and respond to each dog appropriately. I’m also experienced in caring for cats and am comfortable managing a variety of temperaments and routines for animals of all kinds. Providing reliable, compassionate care and giving pet parents peace of mind is something I truly value, and I love building trust with both pets and their people and creating a genuine relationship! Every morning I take the pups on a walk or run, and on every day but Tuesdays and Thursdays, I do backyard playtime in the afternoon, then every day in the evenings is indoor playtime. And on the weekends, I love to take my dogs on long hikes, to the dog park, or to go swimming! Please note that I am a student, so there will be times when they will need to be alone and unsupervised, usually kenneled, but I make it a point to expend energy before and after an absence like that so they will want to nap whilst I am away. I am very experienced in interpreting dog behavior/body language and handling stressful situations. I value honesty and transparency, and you can be sure to expect pictures and videos! :) I am willing to feed, walk, water, and brush your animals. Whatever they need, I am up for it!
“My family and I could not have been happier with the care Samye provided for our cats while we were on vacation! For 3 weeks, she visited every other day, scooped their litter and made sure they had food and water and even gave them a bit of special canned food on each visit. We got pictures of our kitties every time Samye visited. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were in such good hands. We will DEFINITELY be using Samye to take care of our pets anytime we travel!”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Salem on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,150 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Salem stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
