Pet Sitting in Salem

“It’s so nice to know that my two fur babies are in good hands when I go away! Amanda came daily to feed and sift the litter and give them a bit of attention.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy with the service. Mikayla and Alen made me feel at ease. They helped me understand the process and took great care of my dog. I would highly recommend them.”

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.

“Allison was on time every visit, and provided great communication while visiting our cat who had been to the ER earlier in the week. Would recommend!”

“MaryJane is a perfect dogsitter. I am a dog trainer, so my standards are high. I also have skittish young Emglish Shepherd who is nervous of new people. MaryJane understood to give him space and let him come to her. She also understands how to modulate her voice and movements so as to be reassuring rather than concerning to a dog. She is very much the competent adult, and clearly loves dogs and takes her job very seriously. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hello & welcome to my profile! I have been blessed by growing up around animals my entire life! My older brother has had dogs as small as a Poodle/Chihuahua mix (Ari) and as large as a Newfoundland (Armand - which I was able to help leash train)! My brother has relied on me multiple times to take care of them, and I do so lovingly! In Ari’s later years, he trusted me to give him his medication, special diet food, and assist him walk around. Additionally, I grew up around cats for as long as I can remember and currently have two of my very own. Not only cats & dogs, but bunnies, gerbils, and guinea pigs are all animals I have taken care of under my own roof! I know that each pet has their own personality and therefore needs specialized care. I know how much I think about my own when I am away from them, and I would be honored to lovingly take care of them so you don’t have to stress it! I currently work full time M-F, but am consistently done with work by 3:00/4:00 pm. This gives me plenty of time to stop by and care for your animals during the week part time, or full time on the weekends! Within my own home, I make sure to be proactive with making sure my cats have fresh water and food in their bowls at consistent times. I do not currently own any pet supplies for a dog and I live in a one bedroom apartment with limited space. I am happy to house smaller animals when need be and take care of all other pets within their own furever home!

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.

“Andrea was wonderful! She provided feedback for each visit, sent photos and spent time with my cats. Highly recommend & would rebook with her in the future.”

“I can’t recommend Maddy enough! She took amazing care of my cat, Jinx, while I was away. Maddy was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with photos and little notes about how Jinx was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, Jinx was happy and relaxed. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pets like family, Maddy’s the one!”

“Michaela was amazing at caring for our 2 kitties. She arrived right on time each visit and provided detailed updates and photos. Will definitely book with her again soon!”

Nicole K.

“Magnoly is literally the best! She was extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable with our dog Apollo and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again! She communicates everything every step of the way and was sooo flexible when I booked the wrong dates for visits and when we asked her to drop in again on short notice! She couldn’t have been a better person for Apollo’s first night by himself and our first Rover experience, we absolutely love her!!”

About: Hello! My name is Alexandra and I am a very experienced pet caregiver! I have always been surrounded by and cared for a variety of animals and have taken that passion and am making it into a career. I would love to give one of the most valued member of your family the company and care they need! I have experience with puppies and kittens as well as senior animals! High energy and maintenance dogs are a big specialty of mine as well! I love training and working on obedience and commands. I am currently taking this time in my life to dedicate myself to pet care. I have my own transportation and am available for last minute bookings as well as future ones planned well in advance! I offer a variety of services as well. I love walks and drop in visits! Giving a fur baby some company is the best feeling! Walking is so therapeutic and the time spent outside in nature with the dogs is heaven and there is nowhere else I’d rather be!

“Ann Marie was an amazing sitter for our two kitties! My first time using a sitter but she made the process seamless and gave us peace of mind. She even took time to take photos and give them treats. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely rebook next time we leave for vacation.”

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.

“Liz was great! She took amazing care of our cats while we were away on a trip and sent pictures from every visit. One of our cats is shy and Liz really is a true “cat whisperer”. She got him to come out from under the bed and get snacks 😺. I would highly recommend Liz for any of your pet sitter needs.”

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.

“Tucker absolutely loved all the attention he received! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him while we were away!”
