“Julia was great! She sent the best pics of my kitty while I was away and he seemed to really enjoy her company during the drop-ins. No issues what so ever and will definitely be using her again!”
“Maria has watched our cats on two occasions now and has done a great job each time! Hard to find with others- but she even cleans the area/litter around the litter boxes and just does a great job with everything -from actually swapping out to clean fresh bowls at each feeding. Cleanliness, and friendliness goes a long way! We are so grateful we found her. Not an easy task with 5 cats! I would recommend her to care for your animals, too.”
About: I've had two dogs of my own - one blind, and the other deaf. I am happy to manage your pet's quirks while we're having a great time together, too. Every pet needs something different, so I'll pay close attention to the details of your instructions. I'm also very focused on safety: leashes and familiar walks are a must! I am a teacher, so during the school year, I am available after 4:00pm to check in on your pet so everyone is happy when you arrive home. Also, I am booking now for summer - I would love to share my time off with your pets! I am a teacher during the school year, so my summer is wide open. I do enjoy visiting a few clients each day - it adds some structure to my own life! At my place, I have an air-conditioned apartment and a small porch where your pet and I can relax. We can take walks in the neighborhood or along the rail trail, located right across the street. Leashes and tags are always a must! In your home, I'll be sensitive to your pet's routines and habits around the house. Likewise, I'll be careful about your privacy and the condition of your home. In either location, we can agree on a timetable so you can expect pictures and updates of your special pet.

Thanks for checking out my profile and I hope to meet soon I have a part time job at a local hospital and like to supplement with dog and cat services. I am local in downtown Salem I care for pets as if they are my own. I send communication texts and photos often so you can be assured your pet is in good hands
“Correen was great! This was my first time leaving Yuna since a change in her meds, so I was extra nervous. Correen was very communicative and sent pictures every day. It definitely helped make the experience easier for me.”
About: Experienced lifelong pet owner. Cared for many pets such as parrots, turtles, chickens, and dogs. Recent dog-sitting includes walks, playtime, basic training, and attentive, trust-building care. I work by appointment at a nearby salon, about five hours daily, sometimes even less than that depending on the appointments. Flexible schedule lets me return home often, and my boyfriend works from home most of the time. If your dog needs full attention time we can work it out. My apartment building has a small fenced patio with free dog potty bags. My balcony stays locked while petsitting, and we take plenty of walks and playtime inside and outside the apartment. I currently own a petsnake that stays in his cage in a different room whenever I do petsitting.
“Elizabeth is so thoughtful and kind. She has listened to everything about my dog’s needs and has truly provided great care for her. She asks questions and is very understanding of how every dog is unique. You can tell she does this for her love for dogs and it truly shows. I look forward to Elizabeth taking care of Marley in the future!”
About: I am a graduate of the Essex North Shore Companion Animals program where I learned about different enrichment and health care needs for a variety of different animals, as well as have been a loving pet sister to a number of dogs, cats and small rodents! I am currently a full time college student with a part time job, so I do have to be fairly strict on which days I can provide services, but I am very flexible on days that I have available! I am very attentive and love to give your furry friends exercise and enrichment, whether that’s a nice long walk or playtime in the backyard.
“We hired Jamie based on her recommendations and repeated customers here on Rover. I was nervous to leave my two kitties, especially my elder cat who is chronically ill. Jamie was punctual and attentive to their needs, feeding, dispensing my calico’s meds, and spending time with both. She alleviated my fears by being in touch during visits, and the photos she sent assured me that they were in good hands. They seemed calm and happy, responding to her positively. My second cat is very shy, and her approach obviously was effective as her photos show him very chill. I recommend her highly.”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need every day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, a steady pace, or extra time to sniff and explore, I'll tailor each walk to their personality and energy level. I always prioritize safety and will treat your dog like they're one of my own. I am currently working and in graduate school. I'm available Monday through Friday after 6:00 PM and am committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. I'll make sure your dog gets a safe, enjoyable walk that's tailored to their energy level and needs, and I'll always provide updates, so you know they're in good hands. Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities. During every walk, I'll follow your instructions closely, keep your dog securely leashed, and pay attention to their comfort, behavior, and surroundings. I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need while keeping them safe at all times.
About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.
“Paloma was available to visit my dogs last minute. She was communicative and even stopped by to meet them before the visit. Everything went as planned and I’m thankful for her care of my girls! Thank you!”

“Jennifer is extremely professional, communicative and a great person. She looked after my large breed dog while I was traveling and did a fantastic job. She also brought her young son a few times, who is great with dogs and gave him lots of attention. Selfishly, the only reason I wouldn’t recommend her is so she is always available when I need her! She goes above and beyond and is a problem solver. 5 stars!”
“Reagan took excellent care of our cats while we were away for a week. She gave regular full updates on their well being which allowed us to fully relax on vacation. We came home to our cats in great spirits, they seemed at ease and comfortable under Reagan’s care - we definitely will be booking with her again! Thank you Reagan!”

Tawny was wonderful. She met with me for initial "meet and greet" right away, and my kitty loved her from the first moment. My kitty (over 20 yrs old) is normally shy and hides away from new people, but warmed up to Tawny right away. Tawny is kind, gentle and truly loves animals. She visited my kitty every day, and I got heart-warming photos via text from each visit. When I got back, kitty was happy, contented, as if I never left home. I am very happy that I found Tawny and can trust her with my furr-baby, when I travel from now on.
Ely was amazing! My cat recently got diagnosed with a condition that requires daily meds. I was worried about going away and finding someone who was able to administer his meds, but Ely was amazing and took great care of him. She also gave very thorough updates and send amazing photos. I would definitely love for Ely to sit for Mozzarella again.
Kirssy was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She made me feel so secure in all the care and love she was giving to them while I was away. She sent tons of photos and videos and has been extremely communicative since I first messaged her. I can’t recommend her enough, and I will be using her for future visits for sure!
I was very anxious to go away and leave my cat all alone. We had been through so much this past year. Abby was beyond amazing with Declan! Every day getting photos of him being cuddled and played with helped me to relax and enjoy my trip. Declan was truly in the best hands. She even helped me with a small household issue because bad weather was coming. She is extremely responsible, comes over when she is expected to, and gave my cat so much love. I would have her watch him again without hesitation. Abby did so much more than take care of Declan, she allowed me to have the peace of mind that she was going to be there for him. Lovely woman!
This has been our first trip leaving the cats in a very long while and we left leaving a little nervous but as Michaela came in and gave us updates, day by day, fotos, and helped around their necessities we were beyond grateful. She did an amazing job with our boy cat that is a bit of a hyper toddler, like a pro and even our shy cat came around and started to meet her by the door. All very good signs they also loved her visits.

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.

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 .
