Dog Boarding in Salem

We have lost our Darling 14 Year old Clementine. So we have a vacancy in our hearts to love and care for your dog. We have a large fenced yard and we live across the street from a park. We also have a large Doggie Door which gives an option to either close or open so your dog may have freedom to go in or out of the house at any time upon your choosing. We have a slightly terraced back yard with different styles of landscaping which makes for a stimulating environment for your dog. We also have a brick ramp to our grass area for those who enjoy easy access to the lawn. There is a gated entry to our front door so no worries about your dog getting out when the door is opened. Our gates to the back yard have inside bolts so they cannot be opened from the outside unexpectedly. We do not do daycare on weekends and our pickup and drop off hours for both day care and boarding are between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. These hours are so your pup will have time to enjoy his breakfast and dinner without interruptions. (So they have time to eat and do their business before other pups start coming and going). We also like the late afternoon and evening to enjoy loving and cuddling with pups before bedtime so they feel safe and secure and are not stressed or excited by having pups and parents coming and going throughout the dinner and evening hours. (this makes for happy tummies). We have several beds and blankets for our pups who visit us (but we must confess most like to sleep in our bed with us). We also require a Meet and Greet before we accept a new pup. This is so you and your pup can be sure you like us and where he/she would be staying. It also lets us know if we are a good fit for you and your pup. We will be looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon.

Hi, I'm Jennifer! I am a wife, mother, and DOG LOVER! I grew up with dogs and am very comfortable around them. Watching and carring for your dog(s) would mean the world to me as I don't currently have one but love being around them! Your dog will be loved and given wonderful care! I live in a dog friendly atmosphere including a small fenced in back yard and large park 1/4 mile from my home.

I started this business when my daughter was 10 months old. She is now 3 and has a baby brother who is 9 months old. We have LOVED having different dogs in our home for the past few years. As long as your pup is good with kids, we would love to love on them!!

Hi! I'm Morgan and I have a sweet Border Collie named Jade and a playful Anatolian Shepherd named Winnie and our recent a border collie pup named Jack. I have been working with and training dogs for the past 20 years and would love for your pup to come stay with us. I live on a 16 acre farm where your pup will have the ability to run and play all that he or she wants. I have an out door kennel and a small pool for them to play in and a large field for running and playing. At night your Furry Friend will stay in the house with us! I have experience training dogs in basic obedience, agility, and sheep herding. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

About this sitter:

I was born and raised on a small farm in Silverton Or and through my experiences there have found the love , respect for, and desire to work with animals. Above all I love dogs and love to be around them.

Why I love dog sitting

I have loved dogs since about three seconds after I was born. I have always had a dog or two or three in my life and I can not imagine not being around them.

About my yard

I have a 16 acre farm that is secluded and safely tucked 1/2 mile away from the road. The property is fenced, and my dogs free roam the yard and 2 acre field next to the house. I also have an outdoor dog kennel with plenty of shade and a huge water trough for puppy play. There is also a large fenced in dog run and supervised play area next to the barn.

My experience administering medication

Yes, I have worked with animals my whole life and I am familiar with giving pills and shots, as well as, subcutaneous fluids.

We have a small fenced in back yard that allows for exercise and potty breaks in a safe environment. We have doggie beds available for naps and snuggling. Cascades Gateway Park has a fenced in dog area that is very close by, for even more social interaction, if you think your fur baby would enjoy it, too. My husband and I work different days so there is almost always someone home to be with the pups. Our resident dogs are respectful and enjoy making new friends. We love pups of all ages and sizes and yours will love staying with us!

We have both had dogs in our family since we were kids, large and small, from puppies to seniors. Since we adopted Shiner, he has enjoyed having new friends for him to play and run with around every now and then. Mandy Lynn is a more recent adoption and might be wary at first, but, she warms up to guests, too!

We currently have only dogs. No cats, birds, reptiles or children. We have experience with senior dogs that require special care and attention. We are comfortable administering both oral and injected medication. Telma is also certified in Pet first aid and CPR.

1. Experience!

I can't remember a time in my life in which I didn't own and take care of a pet, so I'm familiar with the care required for furry friends. I currently have a sweetheart of a border collie named Zephyr.

2. I'm a Lover, Not a Fighter!

I am nurturing, compassionate, and trustworthy, and I believe in the power of positive reinforcement. I have always loved animals, and I have a high level of empathy.

3. I am Dedicated!

I am patient, conscientious, organized, and willing to work hard. I feed, walk, play with, and love on your pals. I respect any specific wishes or instructions given by the pet parent.

4. I'm Flexible!

Ask about availability; I can be flexible! I work a few days a week outside the home, but I can make special arrangements. I'd love to care for your dog in my home, your home, during the day, overnight, or just for a nice walk.

I have trained and cared for dogs for 10 years as an experienced boarder. I have friends in the vet industry and have been around animals from reptile to horses all my life. I will treat your baby like my own and they will feel safe and secure. I have a huge yard and take many walks and trips to dog parks If allowed. I have experience bathing and brushing at a grooming salon as needed, I have supplies to bathe, brush and blow dry <no heat>, if desired for an extra fee I can bathe and brush your pup! Even though they will miss you, it will be an environment as close to home as I possibly can provide. Let's meet and get your fur baby taken care of while you enjoy your time stress free!

I am not just a dog lover; I am dog people. I have had dogs almost my entire adult life and have found that they are my therapy and my passion. I love how I am able to create a fast bond with every dog I meet and appreciate each different personality.

Your dog will not just have a place to stay but will be welcomed into my pack. They will have the opportunity to play with others, will have space to themselves of they wish, cuddles throughout the day, and plenty of toys to play with. If they spend the night, they will have comfy places to choose from to sleep, including an extra large kennel with a bed and cover so they are at their most comfortable.

I have a Golden doodle (Milo), and a chihuahua/jack Russell mix (Lulu). I came home from the Navy in 2006 and have had dogs as small as 12 pounds and as big as 166 pounds. I was there when my momma Saint Bernard had her 7 “little” Saint Bernard puppies and know how to care for puppies and momma dog.

***YES! I do accept puppies that need potty training. Ask about my special rates for boarded potty training!***

I have taken care of injured and sick dogs and cats. I currently have 3 inside/outside cats. I have experience with other animals such as cats, rabbits, mice/rats, horses, chickens, and other farm animals. I am comfortable giving medications or bandaging up wounds as needed. Your dog or cat will always be loved and played with while you’re not available. If they get to come over to my house, your dog will have room to run and play inside and outside. I have experience using pinch collars, harnesses, and shock collars.

My family loves animals. My husband and I have had dogs our whole lives. Currently, we have 1: Maddy is technically my husband's dog. He rescued her from a shelter in Colorado. She is a totally loving dog. We currently live in Stayton, OR. We just moved to the area in April. We lived in Vermont the last 4 years and we watched dogs quite frequently back there. We have a nice sized fenced in backyard. We do have a cat. However, she generally stays in our bedroom when dogs come to visit. We have an almost 4 year old daughter and a 3 month old daughter. When the weather is nice we love to go for walks around the neighborhood to give the dogs some different exercise.

We are a fun home with 2 dogs and kids. Our pups were our first babies until our human babies came along. We love dogs and have done fostering through a local pet rescue. I work from home Monday thru Friday and have lots of flexibility to keep your pup loved on and cared for! We enjoy taking our dogs on walks and they will have full access to our fenced yard to play with our pups. Fetch is played here all the time! Our dogs are well socialized and enjoy playing with new dogs. Our kids have been raised with dogs and do well not bothering them too much and know how to be nice. Your doggies will get lots of love and have a lot of fun! While we love all dogs, we no longer watch unaltered dogs. I apologize for the inconvenience.
