“Tawny was super responsive and took great care of my babies! They went above and beyond my expectations. Even when my kitties made a bit of a mess she cleaned it right up and informed me! My shyest cat loved her to bits too so if I ever need a sitter again I'm definitely choosing her!”
“Bridgette was wonderful with our 5 month old puppy Ruby. She is very responsible and showed up right on time, fed Ruby, took him for a walk, and played with our very energetic puppy. A lifesaver and really appreciated that she came through for us last minute!”
“Keelyn is really just the sweetest and most understanding sitter I’ve ever worked with. She’s attentive, caring and patient with our cat who’s shy of strangers. 1000/ 10 stars! Will definitely want to work with her again in the future!”
About: I would love to have a dog, but I travel too much, so let me love yours! My family had dogs my whole life and I’m the go-to sitter for my friends’ dogs. I work from home and I’d love for your dog to keep me company! I work remotely and have flexibility in my work day, so I will be home with the dog all day and can do potty breaks and walks throughout the day I don’t have any pets and the dog can have access to all parts of my home. I don’t have anything dangerous on the ground for a dog to get into.
“Jamie was fantastic to work with. She provided drop in visits for our cat, Rory, while we were traveling on business. I received plenty of photos and timely updates. I’d definitely rebook during future travel!”
“Louie is part shepherd so it can take him a minute to warm up to someone new. But with Ash’s consistency and great quality of care, he made a new best friend in just a couple days. Now they play fetch and he gets all the love during their visits together! Thanks Ash!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13, whether that be my friends or family. I am very patient with dogs too so I can handle dogs who are shy or even bold. I volunteered at an animal shelter so I also have lots of experience with senior dogs and puppies. I am a teacher so this is my summer side hustle! So from Wednesday through Saturday , I am available from 11-3. This may change a bit, but I am pretty flexable. I have a fenced-in yard with two dogs and two cats! I have a very shy dog and an independent dog so I am used to working with dogs with different personalities. The same goes for cats! I have had many moody cats in my life so I totally understand a sassy furry friend!
About: I have two young cats at home and am a huge cat person! I’m comfortable with cats of all ages and varying personalities and understand getting a cat to be comfortable with someone new is a process and approach it with patience and gentleness. I also have experience with small dogs and really enjoy getting to know each unique pup and seeing their personalities shine. I’m currently in grad school and work part time so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to home visits and helping pet owners in and way I can! As I have two young cats of my own at home, I can only do drop in visits for others and can’t board any pets unfortunately.
About: Between the ages of one and three, two very special dogs were introduced to my household. Our first ended up living to sixteen, happy and healthy, aside from deafness, vision loss, and loss of mobility in her back legs. When she passed, my mother, being a long-time dog walker, still decided to host pet meet-ups in our backyard. A few months later, we adopted a cat. And so, I'm grateful to say I've never really been without a pet. Long-time experience in dog walking and short home visits. I've also fostered the occasional dog for some months. Please don't be wary of asking for longer walks; I love them as much as your pet! Summer is a great time to book me. In the fall and early spring, I attend college Mondays through Fridays, but my week is otherwise very open. I can spend up to two hours with your pet, between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on any given day. However, this schedule is definitely flexible- reach out to discuss details! Living by the golden rule, I solemnly swear to touch only that which you've asked me to; no snooping. I don't host dogs at my house, but may take them over to my yard if you and your pet feel comfortable and if the weather allows.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken care of my neighbors, friends, and family dogs who have relied on me to feed and walk them. I'm currently working part time. I will be available weekday mornings and weekends all day for dog walking and sitting. There will be more than enough time for me to spend with your pets. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. They for sure will be the best company. I can crate them as well when needed.
“Emily was GREAT! It was quite apparent that my 3 kitties were comfortable with her. The photos she sent proved it! She also was quick to respond, including my first last-minute request. Additionally, my kitten had an upper respiratory infection and Emily gave her they eye ointment 2x/day. My kitten's eye looks so much better! I highly recommend Emily!”
About: With experience caring for animals of all sizes, I bring knowledge and expertise to Rover. My special interest in training, whether it's puppies or adults, ensures your pet receives the guidance they need to thrive. I understand the stress of leaving a beloved pet behind, which is why I'm dedicated to providing top-notch care, ensuring your pet's well-being and happiness while you're away. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time and energy to ensure your pets are fulfilled and happy while you are away I live with close access to a nature reserve, allowing me the space to let your dog explore and decompress away from the hustle and bustle of town. I am happy to follow any routine you have in place, whether that be crating, walks, feeding ect.
About: I currently am not allowed to own a dog in my apartment complex and it drives me crazy! I need my dog fix somewhere. I miss having them in my life so much🤍 I currently own a little rescue tuxedo cat. He is such an amazing little boy. Someday I hope to give him a pup bestfriend. He would be so happy to have a playmate! I give my pets a good mix of playful energy and calm loving energy. I’ve had plenty of dogs and cats all with different behaviors. I’m more than willing to be a chameleon with your pet:)

Ariana J.
“I can’t recommend Ariana highly enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! As one of my closest friends for over ten years, I’ve seen how much care and compassion Ariana has for dogs, including my Frenchie named Blade. Affectionately known as Aunt Ariana, she has cared for Blade more times than I can count now, and I always come home to a happy pup who adores her. Ariana has had experience with dogs her entire life and has been the go-to dog sitter for our friend group for years. Whether it’s a quick walk, an overnight stay, or a weekend of full-time care, she handles it all with ease and responsibility. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and communicative — you’ll always get updates, cute photos, and peace-of-mind knowing your dog is in good hands. If you’re looking for someone to trust your furry family member with and who treats your pet like their own, look no further. Ariana will provide loving care for your pet and they'll be lucky to have her!”

Salem dog parents share their Rover experiences
Teri was an exceptional dog walker, sitter and companion for the hours she spent with our 6-month-old pup. Teri comes with a wealth of knowledge about dogs which was so helpful to us. She was punctual, great with communicating, and attuned to our pup the entire time. We received updates, photos and some very helpful advice. We felt so secure leaving our pup in Teri’s hands and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a loving, caring, attentive, and knowledgeable dog walker or sitter!
Laura is the best. Our dog is a bit nervous/ wacky and Laura's calm energy made it easy for him to settle down quickly and relax around her. We are new dog owners and Laura even gave us some tips for things like leash walking. We are so happy to have found her and it is so easy to trust her with our dog and our home.
Jamie was great with our pets. They arrived early to the check-in and sent lots of photos/updates. They let our dog out twice during the one hour (since he’s on meds that make him go bathroom a lot) and made sure our cat was still in the house at the end of the visit. They’re very communicative, friendly, and reliable. I would definitely rebook, thank you Jamie!! Milo and Sammy are looking forward to your next visit!
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!
