Doggy Day Care in Salem

“You know it's a good sign when your dog is whining to get INTO a house. Tess was comfortable the second she set her paws in Nikki's house. I'm a first time dog owner and Nikki immediately put my mind at ease with her relaxed yet confident demeanor. I will be leaving Tess with Nikki for 12 days in February and my mind is at ease knowing she will be well taken care of!”

“Marissa is awesome! She is kind, very responsible & responsive. Marissa is clearly well-versed with proper pet care. My pup who is older and a bit sensitive was in great hands. I highly recommend her.”

“Amy is a wonderful dog sitter that is caring, trustworthy and attentive. I couldn't be happier with the care she provides for my dog, Kuma while I am away on vacation. Amy has watched Kuma a handful of times now and she is always quick to respond to my messages and provide regular updates with photos/ videos of how he was doing --which helps put my mind at ease while I am away. Amy is also really great about keeping Kuma on a consistent schedule and routine which makes it easier to transition home. Amy also has a Pomeranian named Bumi who became an instant best friend for Kuma. Bumi always keeps Kuma entertained but would give him space whenever he was tired. He was also really great about sharing his toys/ treats which was nice. Kuma and Bumi loves playing together whenever they see each other! I highly recommend Amy to anyone who is looking for quality care for their dog. Her genuine love for dogs combined with her responsible and attentive approach makes her a top choice for me! She truly goes above and beyond with the dogs she watches.”

“You know your boi had a good day when he is happy to see you and crashes as soon as he gets in the car! Katarina was awesome! This was a last minute drop off and she was super accommodating. Made our last day I. Salem stress free. 12/10 recommend!”

“Kristin had two dogs for over 15 years each, if that is not a testament in itself, I don't know what is. Additionally, she has helped me care for my cat when I am away from the house. She is super communicative with texts and photo updates. I have no worries when she is watching Ragnar and knowing that he will not only be fed and cared for but she will take the time to make sure that he has some snuggies and love. I would trust her with any of my pets.”

“Natasha and Jonathan were great with our 8 month old puppy! From the meet and greet right through his day care stay. Natasha sent updates, pictures and video during the stay. When I picked Mochi up he was excited to see me but I noticed he circled back around to say thank you to both Natasha and Jonathan. He had a very happy stay with them. Would recommend, and will use Natasha and Jonathan again. Thank you both :)”

“Emmitt loved Renee and hated to leave. She seemed very happy with her stay. Renee was a joy to talk to and I received many updated throughout Emmitt’s stay. I hope to use her services again in the near future.”

“Phoebe is the best! I have a 4 year old basset hound, and although I love him to death, he can be somewhat of a finicky fellow. By that I mean, if he doesn't want to go somewhere, he will just lay down and not move, even if he is in the middle of the road! Despite how frustrating that can be, Phoebe is extremely patient with him, and she takes phenomenal care of him. So much so, I sometimes fear he likes her more than me haha, but I'll gladly trade that for the security of knowing he is in great hands when I'm not around. Thanks, Phoebe!”

About: I have volunteered at the Cape Ann animal shelter for the last eight or nine years I have volunteered in the shelter as well as boarded many pups and dogs. I also have had my own dogs for the past 20 years currently I live with my 18 and 20 year-old and I have a pug. We live in a great neighborhood in Danvers and I’m right across the street from the park. I work four days from home full-time and I’m off Friday Saturday and Sunday. I am able to take your pet outside during my workday in the morning at lunchtime when I go for a walk and afternoon and evening as needed. I do have a fence yard, but I only use in the summer. I prefer to walk the neighborhood and go to the park and I always have the dogs leashed.

“Lisa is always so responsive and reliable!! Our puppy comes home exhausted from playing each time we bring him to her, we can’t wait to have her watch our pup again soon!”

“Lisa has a very nice clean house and a fenced backyard. Our puppy spent all day playing with her dog Maggie and came home happily exhausted.”

“Cobie had a great time”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. Currently, I am owing 2 dogs, Coco (Corgi) and Milo (Husky). They have been with me for nearly 4 years and have been like a part of my family. I hope I can help other dog owners taking care of their dogs at their inconvenient time. I am off from work on Thursday - Saturday every week. I hope to use this time to help your dog owners with their dogs. During my assignments with your dogs, I can totally provide dog walks, play dates, or any special cares to your dogs. My two dogs can also provide company to your dogs

“Fae and Joe are the best dog sitters we have used. I receive daily updates along with pictures of my dogs. I know my dogs are safe and well cared for while they are with them. I have found my forever dog sitters with Fae snd Joe.”

About: I always had pets growing up, I love spending time with them. I have a 2 year old, full of energy german shepherd named Leo. He is my world. I have learned, researched and trained him, so I have the experience to handle a high energy pup and teach them some trick. Your pup will be overloaded with love and care. I work Mon-Wed and every other Saturday, so I will be able to board, or just be with your pup during the day from Wednesday from 6 pm to Sunday 8 pm. I will definitely do my best to work with your schedule. My home and a fenced yard welcomes your pup. I have my 2 year old german shepherd Leo to play with your pup if you like. I will follow your routine, so your pup is not overwhelmed. I have all the toys, and physical and mental enrichment games to occupy your pup to have a great stay.

“Jennifer and her family were amazing with my senior dog! They watched her for two days in a row. When I came to pick her up, she was fast asleep on the sofa, so clearly she felt very comfortable and relaxed. Since she has separation anxiety, Jennifer made sure someone was with her at all times. She communicated well and sent super cute pics of Harley during her stay. If I'm in this area again, I'll definitely contact her!”

“If your dog likes Pina Coladas and walks in the rain! Look no furrther! Dana has taken care of our sweet dog Lulu for 5 years now every time we go away. I’ve never been so comfortable leaving her with anyone before. I always know she’s in good hands and well taken care of — and very happy! Lulu looks forward to her vacation with Dana just as much as we do!”

About: I’ve spent my whole life living with and caring for dogs as well as their fine feline counterparts. From a young age my parents made sure I took on the responsibility of pet ownership (feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets). More recently our family had a lab/terrier mix who we sadly had to have put down. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens, but honestly that’s more playing with them and exhausting their energy reserves more than anything else. If you have a dog or cat of any age you would like to get their energy out with, or need a hiking/beach buddy for I’m your guy! I work from home, so often am out and about meeting with people in the community or at home taking care of my clients. I often walk dogs on my lunch break to get out and move a bit! I am able to take them out as often as needed due to my schedule, and have a toddler-proofed (and therefore dog proofed) apartment for boarding!

About: With an innate understanding and a gentle touch, I excel in the art of canine communication, fostering trust and cooperation with every interaction. From obedience training to behavioral challenges, my skills with dogs are a harmonious blend of patience, empathy, and expertise, ensuring tails wag and hearts bond. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that my furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's morning walks, playtime breaks throughout the day, grooming sessions, or bedtime cuddles, every aspect of my schedule revolves around meeting their needs and nurturing our bond. From nutritious meals to mental stimulation and affectionate interactions, pet care is not just a task but a joyous commitment that enriches both our lives. In both my own home and my clients' homes, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of pets through attentive and personalized care. This includes regular feeding schedules with nutritious meals, ample opportunities for exercise and play, maintaining a clean and comfortable living environment, administering any necessary medications or treatments, and providing plenty of love and affection. Additionally, I adapt to each pet's unique needs and preferences, whether it's comforting a nervous pup during a thunderstorm or indulging a finicky feline with their favorite toys. Ultimately, my goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, loved, and content in their home environment.

“Alexia loves every dog like they are her own! I have complete trust with her with my own pup and she is the nicest person.”
