“Selena provided outstanding care for my tortoiseshell cat, Patches. She maintained a clean litter box, ensured Patches received her meals, and handled her sassy personality with ease. I was able to travel without worry knowing Patches was well cared for.”
“Hunter is an absolutely great pet sitter. She has helped me out well over 50 times and she consistently provides great service. She is good in communication and takes time to form a connection with those in her care. Hunter is a kind person, even delivering dinner to me after my mother passed recently. Such a jewel! I can't recommend her enough!”
“Ashley was great with my pet, met all the feeding times, took super pictures, and kept my plants alive too! I'm very pleased and will recommend her, and Rover.com, to my friends.”
About: I have previously volunteered at a rescue for 10 years. I have fostered many animals for the rescue and kept some of those as well. I can handle almost anything. I've also had my fair share of special needs animals, so I'm comfortable handling pets whose needs are out of the ordinary. I've also worked with and owned most types of animals ranging from a few weeks old to 20+ years, so I can provide care to very young or very old animals. I just graduated college and am currently between jobs, so I am at home working on my fixer-upper apartment all day. My schedule is entirely flexible! I will be available almost all waking hours of the day. I can stop in on your schedule to provide care and walks, or just stay over to give the pets round the clock care. I will make sure that your pet stays happy and healthy while in my care!
“Emily is professional and thorough and was so good with my kitty Roux☺️. She made it so much easier to go away because I knew my fur baby was in good hands. Her timely check-ins and photos put me completely at ease!”
“Cate was everything a pet owner could want. She was responsible, respectful and responsive. A delightful experience from our initial "getting to know you and your pet" visit to her daily check in communications. We hardily recommend her and will engage her with our next trip out of town.”
“Samantha was great without pups, even our Dane who likes to bark loudly and constantly when new sitters come through the door. She was timely, provided great pics, and paid great attention to our instructions.”
“Lejuana always does a wonderful job with our kitties. She gives a lot of TLC and also has to give meds which is quite the feat! I always feel secure going out of town when she keeps my kitties. I know they are in good hands!”
“Katlin was awesome! She stopped by and checked ok my cat. She was great at communicating with me. She sent me so many photos and videos! I will definitely be hiring her again ☺️”
“Rebecca was extremely personable and within seconds of meeting her I knew that my dog would love her and that she would be extremely trustworthy and great to work with. She sent lots of amazing pictures and updates!! My pup looked like he had a blast with her! I will definitely be booking with her again!!!!”
“Jade always takes excellent care of my pets! She is attentive to detail and always leaves my place the same (or better) than how I left it. My cat was congested this past stay and she even ran a hot shower to give him some time in a steam room to help him out. She consistently goes above and beyond!”
“My little old man has never been much for other people.. Olivia was patient with him and gave him the time he needed to come out and eat! She handled his moodiness and his meds (not for moodiness sadly 😆) while also wrangling the 9month psycho kitten! I will 100% be a repeat customer”
“Lauren is fantastic! We were nervous to hire a sitter for the first time, but it was clear that our babies had a blast while we were gone. We have a cat who usually hides in the closet whenever friends come over to watch him, but he actually came out and let Lauren give him scritches! Her communication was great, she was reliable, and we always knew our pets were doing well.”
“Alyssa is absolutely AMAZING!! She took my booking at the very last minute. She’s a God send!! Isla was clearly happy to make a new friend. I appreciate Alyssa’s prompt availability and excellent friendly service. She was thorough and informative just all around awesome!! So grateful for her service!”

Lejuana does a wonderful job taking care of our kitties. We have 2 currently that don’t get a long well which causes problems with one of the kitties. Lejuana always handles everything and makes it a stress free time for us while we’re out of town. I have booked Lejuana multiple times and will definitely be getting her again soon. I really appreciate the loving care my kitties get while we’re away.
Jade always takes excellent care of my pets! She is attentive to detail and always leaves my place the same (or better) than how I left it.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Salem on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
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.
