“My baby boi loves going to see Tony's family and has been several times. What I love is that Thompson gets excited when we pull up as he wants to go play with his friends. I'll continue to rebook and only great things to say!”
“Rachel was wonderful with my two dogs. They felt right at home with her family. She's great with dogs and is very aware of tfeir behaviors. She proactively met with us prior to the stay to see how my dogs would interact with some of the other dogs she watches. Everything worked out great. I would highly recommend Rachel.”
“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”
“This is the second time Wolfie stayed with Kim while we visited Great Wolf Lodge. Although he is nervous and doesn't like strangers, he had an easy time warming up to Kim. She sent us many updates of them going on walks, enjoying her outdoor area, and (his lap dog favorite) keeping close while she worked. When he wouldn't eat his usual dog food, she prepared him special food (with our blessing). We always knew he was in excellent hands and will be back for another visit if we head to Great Wolf Lodge or Great America!”
“I can not say enough positive about Deanne. She was wonderful with Payton and Abby!!! We received several pictures and updates during their stay which was very comforting. They felt at home enough to sleep with Deanne at night and sit with her husband on the couch during his free time. I would never hesitate to leave them again. Thank you so much for caring so well for our babies!!”
“I was worried I would have a hard time finding care for my Rottweiler but Kim (and Greg) did great with my dog! It was my first time using Rover and she walked me through everything! We looked forward to our daily update and pictures! She even worked with us when we wanted to extend our trip!! Donny the Rotty will definitely be back to visit Kim!”
“It was a pleasure having Heather watch our dog for us. We were gone for about 11 days in total. Heather provided daily updates and photos keeping us well informed on how our dog was doing during her stay. We would definitely recommend Heather to others.”
“We were very happy working with Jacob to board our pup Hudson! We received consistent updates and photos during his stay and Jacob was very quick to respond before/ during his stay. We love seeing the different parts of Hudson’s day indoors/ outdoors/ playing with new friends. We will work with Jacob again!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“Stella is the best! We’ve had our dogs stay with her and they’ll be back! Very caring, professional setting, and she’s great at sending updates on how they’re doing :)”
“Ashleigh and her family are the absolute best people I have ever found to take care of my little teddy bear named Buddy. He gets so much attention it is wonderful. He’s happy to see me when I come but I think he wants to stay. I think he just wants me to visit and leave so he can be with them. They are absolutely great.”
“Sunshine and her kids are amazing! Easy communication and a lot of pictures. Lolla is back home and for the first time she’s not stressed with our absence. I highly recommend Sunshine.”
“Angela and Dave took great care of our girl Ivy! The updates and videos were really helpful knowing that she adjusted well and was having a great time playing with Honey. Highly recommend!”
“First time using Rover and we had a great experience with Debbie and Tom from the "meet and greet" to the overnight stay. Archie settled in nicely and I could tell he was comfortable there from the pictures and updates they sent. I am grateful for the opportunity to let him stay in a comfy home with people who love dogs!”
“Elizabeth's place is doggie heaven. Two sweet gentle playmates and a 1 acre fenced backyard! My golden retriever was in heaven. Elizabeth knows dogs and loves them as much as I do ❤️ I felt confident in her abilities to care for my baby and trusted her completely. Highest recommendation. ”
“Sandy was fantastic with Ricco!! We will 100% have her watch Ricco again!! She was so accommodating and took great care of him!! Highly recommend Sandy to care for your furry family members!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Salem on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,185 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
90% of Salem sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Salem landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Salem home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Salem.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Salem sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
