Dog Walking in Salem

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, working with all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from high-energy pups to senior dogs who need a gentler approach. What sets me apart is my focus on structured, attentive care. I don’t just “walk dogs”—I pay attention to their behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being to make sure they feel safe, exercised, and balanced. I’m experienced with leash manners, basic training reinforcement, and handling strong or reactive dogs. I’m also comfortable supporting weight management plans, medication routines, and special care needs. You’ll always receive reliable communication, photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in capable hands. I treat every dog like my own and take pride in being someone pet parents can truly depend on. Currently helping dogs improve their health, behavior, and daily routine through consistent, structured walks. Pet care is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in. I intentionally schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive reliable, on-time service. I maintain a manageable client schedule so each pet gets my full attention, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or extended care. This allows me to stay punctual, attentive, and flexible when needed. My goal is to provide dependable care that pet parents can count on, with clear communication and consistency every visit year round. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes consistent feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being, adjusting my approach as needed—whether that’s structured exercise for high-energy dogs or a calm, patient presence for more sensitive pets. Cleanliness and respect for your home are extremely important to me. I keep feeding areas tidy, refresh water, and ensure litter boxes or outdoor areas are properly maintained. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide a seamless, trustworthy experience where your pet feels safe and you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I approach pet care with structure, attention to detail, and genuine respect for both the pet and the home.

“These guys are great! Friendly, helpful, and my little one is always happy to see them! She stares at the door for an hour after they leave! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for nearly every kind of pet, from doggies and kitties to chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, bunnies, chickens, turtles, geckos, birds, rats, and even snakes. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Of all my amazing animal friends, dogs are definitely my favorite — I’ve had a dog in my home my entire life and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by providing the same care, attention, and affection that I’ve always given to my own pets. I'm currently working part time so my availability is vast! I can do most mornings, evenings after 4, and some weekends as well! If you ask, we can easily work something out! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort during every drop-in visit, walk, and house sitting stay. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and exercise, to keep them relaxed and happy while you’re away. During dog walks, I make sure pets are always securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. For drop-ins and house sitting, I respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean environment, and ensure your pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving experience so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

“Maddy is great! very good communication and very reliable!! Everything went extremely smooth, especially since I was on vacation at the time. Don't hesitate to use her for your pets needs.”

About: I have 8 years of experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large breed dogs. I’m very comfortable handling a wide range of needs, including active dogs that require structure and exercise. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked in education as an athletic director, which has strengthened my leadership, responsibility, and ability to stay calm and consistent in any situation. I bring that same level of care, organization, and reliability into pet care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve decided to pursue dog care full time starting this June because it’s truly what I enjoy most. I also have three dogs of my own—a Chihuahua/Husky mix (8), a Chow Chow/Husky mix (7), and a German Shepherd (6) so I understand day to day care, routines, and the importance of treating every dog like family. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is becoming a full-time focus in my daily routine. I’ve spent the past several years balancing my work in education while caring for dogs on the side, and I’ve always made time for it because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. Starting this June, I’ll be transitioning into pet care full time. My schedule will be built around providing consistent walks, drop-ins, and boarding care, with flexibility to meet each pet’s needs. I already care for my own three dogs daily, so my routine naturally revolves around feeding, exercise, playtime, and maintaining a structured and safe environment. Adding client pets into that routine is a natural extension of what I already do every day. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care so pet parents can feel confident their dogs are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I primarily focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific instructions from the owner. My goal is to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment while providing consistent care, attention, and exercise. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos during each visit so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they’re away. I make sure every home is respected, secure, and left exactly as it was, while ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. If I do provide boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. Dogs would still follow a structured routine with supervision, exercise, rest, and care tailored to their needs. I aim to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel at home

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I know how important your baby is, my goal is to give your dog safe and happy visits! I am currently on summer break for college so I have a mostly open schedule! I work some days at Aroma Joes and all my other time I am free. I always greet dogs slowly by letting them sniff my hand and get used to my scent, I have walked dogs since a kid and know how to handle dogs that pull.

About: Hi. My name is Mimi and I am a stay at home mom. I had 2 Siberian Huskies in the past and I currently have a Shiba Inu. As you all know these breeds are quite stubborn and they have a mind of their own. I am extremely patient and consistent when it comes to our furry friends. I love pets and I treat them like a family member. Your pets will feel right at home during their stay here. I provide plenty of cuddles, attention, and love to make them feel safe while you're away. I am always home and I can provide constant companionship for them. I have a 800 sq ft fenced in area where we can play or just enjoy the fresh air. I prioritize the comfort and safety of your furry friends. I will clean, sanitize, wash the beddings, and steam mop the room before each boarding. I have different size crates if your friends need to be crated at night.

“This was the first time I'd requested Lianna to walk Fin. She was friendly ad Fin took to her right away and I will reach out again when I need someone to walk him.”

About: Hi! I’m a 21-year-old caregiver with experience working with special needs students, which has helped me build patience, attentiveness, and strong communication skills—qualities I bring into pet care as well. I also regularly walk and care for a friend’s dog for multiple weeks at a time so I’m very comfortable sticking to routines, handling responsibility, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and happy to travel up to about 20 minutes. I also understand that every situation is different, so I’m open to discussing pricing to find something that works for you. I have a flexible schedule during the summer and would love to help with walks or drop-ins! I currently work at a school until 2:30 PM on weekdays, but I am available for pet care, dog walking, and drop-ins in the afternoons after that time as well as on weekends. I’m reliable and consistent with scheduling, and I make sure to communicate clearly and show up on time for every booking. I also have experience owning multiple pets, which has helped me become very comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and needs. During the summer, I will have a fully open and flexible schedule, which allows me to take on more frequent walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I’m flexible and always adjust my care style based on what makes your pet happiest and most at ease. In addition to walks, feeding, and attention, I also handle clean-up tasks such as litter box maintenance, accident clean-up, and keeping your pet’s space tidy so you can come home to a clean and well-cared-for environment.

“Arianna cared for our pup when I had to be in the city for the week. She was timely, communicative, and our dog really seemed to love her. We're grateful have Arianna to depend on on weeks like this one!”
