Information Salem M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any specific routines it needs to follow such as being fed or receiving medicine at particular times. For dogs specifically it's good to know how they'll behave around other animals and people.

A typical day

I love taking long walks and exploring new areas with dogs. If the dog is well behaved and owner is comfortable, the beach is a favorite destination!

Salem stayed at my house and watched my senior husky dog for a week while I was traveling for work. It was very comforting to have someone responsible and trustworthy stay at my house and care for my doggy best friend. I’m usually a little uncomfortable having strangers stay at my house, but Salem put me at ease immediately. It was so great to have that piece of mind while I was working out of state. She sent regular updates and photos of my dog, made sure my pup got her meds and regular walks, and left the house very clean. The best indication that all was well while I was gone, was upon my return, my dog didn’t even get up out of bed to greet me and barely acknowledged me with a little tail wag when I opened the door. 😁 When my pup doesn’t get the attention that she needs, she’s usually frantic and all over me when I return from a trip. I hope I can book Salem again next time I need dog and house sitting, she was fantastic!

Salem was amazing with our pups! She is thorough, professional, and very clean! She sent pictures everyday of our babies. We will definitely use her again in the future!

Salem house-sat for us for 3 weeks. During that time she took great care of our 2 dogs, our chickens, and our plants. Our dogs absolutely adored her. Salem went over and above our expectations and I would recommend her to anyone.
