About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life! I’ve also watched friends’ and family members’ pets while they’ve been away, making sure they’re fed, happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. I know how important it is to feel like your pets are in good hands when you can’t be there, and I’ll always do my best to treat them like my own! I’m currently in college Monday through Thursday, but I’m usually done with classes around 12:30–1 PM! That leaves me with plenty of time in the afternoons to check in on your fur babies, give them some love, and make sure they’re taken care of. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both of us! 🐾 I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away! I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll do my best to stick to what they’re used to and follow any instructions you leave for me. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, food when needed, a clean space, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’ll also make sure doors and gates are secure and keep a close eye on them to help keep them safe. I know how much our pets mean to us, so I’ll treat yours with the same love and care I give my own!

Whether your furry family member needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, feeding, playtime, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, play sessions, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
About: I’m a big dog and cat lover. I have owned and taken care of my own pets for at least the last 6+ years. I take pride in a job well done. I have been working for a vet for the last few weeks and have picked up a few key thing to look for if your animal is sick or having problems. I am home most of the time which gives me great opportunity to focus on your fur babies. When you leave your pet in my care it will be as if you never left. I will give them the undivided attention they need to keep them calm and happy. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur babies.
About: I am a self-professed animal lover and my care for animals started with our family dog, Kip, when I was just 8 years old. Since then I have cared for and walked neighbors, friends, family and colleagues pets. I love being outside and will ensure your pets are well looked after, walked and treated as one of the family. My schedule is currently very flexible so if you need care last minute please do get in contact. I have my own transport so can make my way to you swiftly. I typically work most weekdays and weekends if scheduled in advance (if appropriate). Simply, I will do what ever is necessary to make sure your pets is happy and well looked after. Whilst I do not offer overnight home boarding (I have two elderly hounds), should they ever need to come to my home I have a fenced in back yard. I am happy to abide by crate training if required and always have toys, a bed and training treats on hand, just in case. I ALWAYS bring water on my walks and plan my days to ensure we are not walking in the heat of the day. I am happy to walk early in the morning and later at night. I have used cool coats before so I am also happy to add this to my routine. I never try and rush a pet. Whether it is a nervous cat or young pup, I take my time, not jumping straight in. I try not to let them off the leash immediately so we can build trust and I do not rush them to be my friend.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I’ve been asked by friends and family to dog sit many times, and have helped care for anxious dogs, as well as basic needs such as food and walks. I can also help with basic puppy training! I am available in the evenings M-F after 5pm, and on most weekends to stop in for visits or to stay overnight with your pet if needed! Right now, I have two cats in my home, but have access to a big yard and nearby parks for walking dogs and letting them play.
“Megan took such a weight off of our shoulders! I worry about leaving my elderly diabetic cat, but Megan managed to win her trust and keep her and her younger brother happy and safe while we were gone.”
About: I have owned and taken care of both young and old dogs and cats most of my life. I seem to understand animals even better than humans in most cases, with animals being one of the best sources of stress relief for me. While not certified, I also trained the last few dogs that I owned, teaching both spoken and hand gesture commands. I will only be working part- time during sitting, working with online coaching clients and possibly making deliveries on Doordash during the day. In the evenings (6- 9p.m.) Monday through Friday, I do martial arts training at a dojo in Concord. I usually prefer sitting for clients with a fenced in yard for both letting the dog outside for bathroom breaks and also for play time such as throwing a ball, as well as having indoor play time in between working on my online coaching and delivery duties.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I always make sure pets get the exercise, playtime, and companionship they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I closely follow all care instructions, routines, and feeding schedules provided by owners. I’m attentive, patient, and always supervise pets during walks and playtime. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment and treat your home with respect. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“The beginning was very rough to handle our boys, but she did an excellent job with them both. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would because Katheryn went above and beyond. We thank her so much for watching.”
About: I’ve always had a lot of animals growing up, I would help them learn to potty train and show them the attention and love they need! Im currently in college so i have a lot of free time that i would love to spend with your pets, I have a passion for helping people and animals! I will always take your pets safety seriously, I am trustworthy, responsible and can provide the best care around! I will treat your pets as if their my own
“Karen was very responsive to communication and kept me up on her schedule. She showed up as planned and made sure our 3 cats had everything they needed in our absence. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone needing a trusted caregiver.”
About: I have begged for and cared for animals ever since I was a child. Always the sensitive soul, I tend to be more comfortable with animals and they seem to be quickly comfortable with me. The bigger the better so it seems! As a yoga instructor and former runner, I crave moving around outside. During the week I have plenty of time to get your buds out for potty breaks & attention, the morning being the extended time for play. While Monday & Tuesday are completely full, Friday through Sunday are completely open. Weekends are when if you need me to house sit, that is an option. Obviously, this is guided by any instructions you give. You know your pet and any little eccentricities they may have. I also go by how they are acting after you have been away for a few hours and their experience with absent family members. In bad weather, I'm great with animals that frighten easily. Even if they do not wish to be touched, I calm my tone and talk more so they know they're not alone. Eye contact if that's something they are comfortable with. Ugh, I sound wacky, but it really is vibe check. Be aware, I have a fragrance allergy which would need to be addressed before overnight care.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10 years old; for my family’s friends, neighbors, and my own pets including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, and more. I just recently graduated college and I hope to become a vet, I want to help animals in any way I can! I recently just graduated college and while I am figuring out my next steps my schedule is very flexible. I am currently a vet technician, but am prioritizing your pets needs. If you have any questions please reach out and I can personalize what you need! No matter your home/area I love to play with any fur babies and keep them safe and well entertained. I am flexible and can care for any animal in any way you see fit! Prior to accepting a care position for a pet, I go over questions around food, exercise, your own concerns, as well as a history of separation and weather anxiety. I ask for clarity around limits and boundaries in the home so I can be a reliable source of information for your pet as well as putting your minds at ease. Another thing I like to ask is how to best make your babies comfortable with a new person. Any pet is going to miss their owners and I like to know what will help them adjust the best way, as well as what makes you confident to leave them. I want to be sure everyone is happy and feels safe!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Salisbury is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 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 October 2026, there are 2,064 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Salisbury. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
