“Super friendly, professional and easy to work with! I needed a walker at the last minute for my sweet baby girl and Charlotte was a huge help! My pup absolutely adores her! I would highly recommend choosing Charlotte for any of your pets needs!”

“It’s hard to believe that my pup has been walking regularly with Rowan for almost 2 years, but it’s safe to say that we all love Rowan. They are reliable, a great communicator, and easy to work with. Most importantly, they are great with the pup. It’s heartening to see how happy and comfortable my sometimes slow-to-warm-up dog is with Rowan. It was clear from the beginning that Rowan has a strong ability to build rapport with pups, both in making a connection and providing clear expectations, and that has become even more evident over time. So happy to have Rowan as part of our team. ❤️”

“Paige is amazing. Super reliable. She’s been walking my 1y/o Samoyed daily for the past month. She arrives, gets my dog, walks him and gets him back safe and locks up the house. So happy I found her.”

About: I've cared for animals of all species since I was a kid. Whether it's for drop-in visits for play, walks, and exercise, or extended stays, it's always a joy to get to know each animal's unique personality. Whether they're full of energy or full on couch potatoes I love spending time with dogs of all kinds. I have experience with senior dogs, anxious dogs, highly active dogs, and those with specific medication schedules. I'm also experienced with (and a big fan of!) caring for cats-whether they're shyer with new folks or instant lovebugs! I'm available daytime Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and during the weekend. I also have flexible evening availability during the week. I am available for house-sitting both over weekends and by arrangement during the week. I care for people's pets in their homes, either on a drop-in basis for walks, play, and exercise, or for overnight pet-sitting. I like to begin with a meet and greet with owners and pets to get to know both parties, and get an introduction to the care needs and personality of the pet. My goal is to create a comfortable, relaxing environment for your animal and to communicate with you so that you have peace of mind while you are away.
“Terri walked, fed, and snuggled with our dog Annie a few evenings while I was traveling for work. She was always prompt with communication, sent pictures and recaps of her visit, and mapped their walking route. We will definitely call her again when we need a sitter!”

About: Anxious dogs? Playful puppies? Shy kittens? Grumpy seniors? I’ve got experience with them all. I grew up with my own pets, have sat for neighbors, and have volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m great at reading body language and adjusting care to each pet’s personality. Whether it’s calm energy, lots of love, or chasing them around with toys, I follow their vibes and make sure they feel happy and safe. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings throughout the week, and I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pet gets consistent attention and care any day. In your home or mine, I keep everything safe, cozy, and calm, and follow all instructions for food, meds, or special routines. I have my own dog, who’s always up for a playdate if your pet wants to burn off a little extra energy. I’m observant, patient, and ready to swoop in with extra love, cuddles, or comfort whenever it’s needed.
About: I live just blocks from Salem Common, AKA dog central. My partner and I live with our cat Elby, who is friendly but can always be kept separate from your pet if needed, and our dog, Fiona, who is the friendliest dog I've ever met. We both work from home, so your pet will be well looked after and never left home alone. I have experience giving both dogs and cats oral and injected medication. We are happy to host pets at our home and I'm also very willing to do pet care while housesitting. I work from home and love having animals around. Our dog gets 3-4 walks each day, so your dog could have the same. Additionally, we have a large fenced in backyard. I would love to show your dog the sights and smells of Salem. I care for pets in my home as though they were my own. I love to relax with them and keep them entertained, and also ensure they get the exercise they need each day. My partner and I are very active and would happily take dogs on hikes nearby.
“Heather has been a God send this week while I wasn't mobile this week. My Diesel has separation anxiety but she has a warm and fun disposition. He loves playing with the ball with her and checking out the neighborhood. Now he knows her name and looks forward to her coming.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I enjoy walking, playing and bathing them. Ensuring health, safety and positive behavior in homes. I am currently on the job hunt. My schedule is mostly free. I can start walking and attending to these dogs as soon as possible. I have an open backyard and love to play with my dogs and let loose with them. I love taking them on walk for exercise.
“I think Matthew for the two quick walks this week. It was so helpful and you took care of Luna and I appreciate your feedback and I appreciate you walking her. I will definitely ask you again to walk her. Thank you so much.”

“Jesse took the time for a meet and greet before booking our first walk, which was extremely helpful! He has been very prompt and reliable, and we so appreciate his care for our girl Sylvie.”

“Cassie has been wonderful with my silly little boy. I had to leave a review today after she went above and beyond! My little trash goblin made a huge mess everywhere and she helped put everything back to normal, with a smile on her face. I'm so lucky to have her take care of my house and my fur baby.”

“Ida is a very nice person and was a great fit for Aspen! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog walker! If anyone can take Aspen for a walk and bond, then, they are good at what they do!!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. As a proud pet parent myself, I know just how much love and attention our furry friends need to feel safe and happy. Whether it's going for fun walks, playtime in the yard, or just quiet cuddle time, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I truly love what I do, and it brings me so much joy to give pets the same care and comfort I’d want for my own. Pet care naturally fits right into my daily and weekly routine! I’m fully open on weekends, which makes it easy to dedicate my time to caring for pets. During the week, I’m a full-time college student, so I do have specific times I need to be in class—but before and after, I have long breaks that give me plenty of flexibility for check-ins, walks, and playtime. I love using those free hours to spend time with pets, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for while their families are busy! Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I keep pets in their familiar routines—feeding, walking, and playtime just the way they’re used to—so they stay happy and relaxed while you’re away or busy. At this time, I don’t plan on taking in any animals since I’m in college, so all of my care will be in the comfort of your pet’s own home.
About: We have had dogs since I was a baby. Always been a major help with taking care of them; feeding, bathing, walking, etc. I spent most summers growing up with my aunt who had a pet sitting business working with her. Recently back from a deployment and able to take care of your pets any time or any day while I wait for my new job to start! While I cannot house your pet at my home, I would love to come take them of them in yours! I am very flexible, adaptable, and tidy.
“Elizabeth was extremely professional and reliable. She instantly got along with Orfeu and the had a seamless set of walks together while I was out of town. I am so grateful we found her and would recommend her to anyone needing support with their pups!”

This was our first time having our dog walked by someone. Isabella was gentle, kind, and made us feel very comfortable. Our girl Ylva felt comfortable right away and was SO happy when she came back from her walk. We are so grateful for a positive first experience and will definitely book with Isabella again.
