“This is our dog’s 3rd visit with Dew and she is wonderful! So attentive to her quirks and so patient with her plus we get fun photos the whole time! We will be back for sure! Thanks so much Dew for taking such loving care of our girl! 💕”
“Rich took great care of our dog Luke for 10 days. He communicated with us daily and sent lots of pictures of him and his friends. Luke returned home very happy although I think he misses his new friends ?”
“Jessica and her husband were clearly so patient and understanding about sitting for a senior dog. Salto came back happy and excited! They sent regular photos and updates. I would absolutely have Salto stay with them again if we are in the area.”
“Joe, the dog-whisperer, did a great job for us. We had used him a couple of times for a night or two and we were going on a two-week cruise. We had him stay at the house with Barry, our beagle. He located himself in our finished basement suite, brought his own provisions and was very respectful of our house. He got Barry to fetch and was working on "paw" with him. We got great updates while we were away. He and Barry got along great.”
“Rosemarie took such good care of my dog! She clearly catered to her needs and made her feel very comfortable. I got pictures and updates every day, and I was never worried while I was away. I highly recommend Rosemarie!”
“Irene and her family are warm, kind, communicative and very responsible dog boarders - our dog Ollie likes being with them so much he barely registers when I drop him off and comes home happy and calm after staying with Irene. I can’t recommend her more for watching your pup!”
“Nandita took care of my Billie for four days this past week. She’s conscientious, caring, and she connected with Billie right away. I got twice daily videos, and Billie had a great time. I would definitely recommend Nandita to anyone, who has a sweet and energetic pup, like my Billie.”
“We are so grateful for Annette!! Alaska always leaves so happy!! She is wonderful. This is our 2nd time using her and we will continue to use her!! Thank you so much!!!”
“It was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter and Kimberly was very responsive and put us at ease. He is a very anxious dog and she comforted him and sent us daily photos and updates on how he was doing. We wouldn't hesitate to leave our pups with her.”
“Absolutely Incredible Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be happier with the care our Lia received while we were away. Maxine kept us updated which only confirmed that she was having a great time and was so well taking care off. We can’t thank her enough for providing such loving care. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Angelimar is amazing! She watched our senior dog for over a week and was fantastic with her health needs, effortlessly managing a last-minute addition to her medication schedule. Our pup absolutely loved her stay and had the best time tagging along to work with Angelimar for extra companionship. Highly recommend!”
“Sumire was excellent with Mika! Mika is a rescue and is very timid/shy/nervous (especially outside). But Sumire was so patient and sweet with her. Her dog is absolutely adorable and very sweet and gentle. I will definitely be a return client!! She was very communicative (multiple pictures) and spoilt Mika very much! Thank you SO much Sumire and Mochi ???”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Salem Center
We were so very fortunate to have found Dew to watch both our dogs in her home when we were away. Dew took excellent care of them, sending us updates and photos all week. We had peace of mind because they were in a regular household- they are spoiled pandemic doggies who have never been boarded or spent more than a day without some family member at home. Thank goodness for the kindness of Dew. We are so grateful.
An obvious fellow pet lover. Very thorough communication and listened well. She even got my pet her own Christmas stocking and an adorable little Christmas chicken chew toy. Very considerate of her nervousness of being around bigger dogs and even took her with her when she ran errands.

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Salem Center can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Salem Center 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 Center.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salem Center. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
You and your Salem Center 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 NY 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
