Dog Sitting in Salem

About: I have experience working with all sizes and manors of dogs. I have pet sat for years, and have cared for dogs, cats, fish, plants and more. I walk several reactive dogs back in California, one exceeding 50 pounds. I am excited to meet the dogs of the area!! I work most weekdays, but my afternoon and evenings are usually free. I usually don’t have plans on the weekends. I will begin school in the fall. I can walk the dogs, play ball or even just give them some pets. I usually can check up on them 2-3 times a day if pet sitting. If just walking, I try to gage the energy level, and adjust my walking distance and location accordingly.

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/taniac42839 $20 off for first time pet parents booking on rover ! Hi, I am Tania , thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and my priority is creating a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for. I offer home-based dog care in a quiet neighborhood .We have a fenced yard so they can explore safely. There’s plenty of room to sniff, run, and enjoy being outside, and most dogs end up relaxing under the a tree at some point during their stay. I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra patience or support. I’m comfortable following specific routines, adjusting care based on individual needs, and keeping things calm and structured so dogs feel secure. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I have dogs of my own, and I treat every dog here the way I’d want mine cared for — with attention, patience, and respect and lots of love and cuddles I live with family, dogs are part of our everyday life. Someone is always home, so dogs are never left alone. I’m home most of the day, and if I need to step out briefly, someone else is here with the dogs. It keeps things calm and steady for them. I don’t take many dogs at once — I like being able to give each dog one-on-one attention and keep things calm. If you have any questions or want to talk through whether this would be a good fit for your dog, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to chat. Pet care fits naturally into my day since I spend most of my time at home with my dogs. I’m very hands-on and around throughout the day. Dogs get regular outdoor breaks, calm indoor time, play, and rest spread out over the day. They’re never left alone for long periods, and even if I need to step out briefly, someone is always home with them. Because I only take a few dogs at a time, I’m able to stay involved in their routine and give them consistent attention throughout the day. Dogs stay inside my home and are treated like part of the family. If your dog is used to relaxing on the couch or staying close by, that’s welcome here. I also have crates available for dogs who do better with structure or quiet time. Crates are used for a dog’s comfort and safety, never as punishment. Care is always adjusted to what helps each dog feel most secure. I have experience caring for dogs who need extra support, including dogs recovering from injuries or needing limited activity. When needed, I use an indoor playpen so a dog can rest safely while still being near me and included in the home environment. My dogs enjoy being around other dogs but are also respectful of dogs who prefer a calmer pace. They read body language well and give space when needed. Dogs may be together or separated depending on what’s safest and best for each individual dog. All dogs are closely supervised at all times. Counter-surfing is actively prevented, and food or treats are never left unattended. I keep a clean, calm environment using dog-safe cleaning products.

About: I have taken care of small and large dogs ranging from those that are cautious of people to the ones who want to be your best friend. I come from a family of cat lovers and we’ve have many long hair cats over the years. I offer you peace of mind as a responsible, trustworthy and caring sitter. I work full time Mon-Fri with the flexibility to work remote. I am available for short and long term care, drop-ins and dog walking services. I am respectful and understand the importance of schedules. I feel following standard routines helps ease the stress pets may experience with their owners being away. I have experience giving meds and lots of treats. We all love a snack.

“McKenna was great to work with. We had a meet and greet and it went great. Our cats walked up to her and were very comfortable. One of our cats, Sonya, is very shy and with a couple of visits McKenna had her doing flips in the air with the feather on a string toy and sitting next to her. In case you are wondering how I know I have a cat cam in the front room. The next time we need a cat setter McKenna will be on the top of our list.”

“She’s sweet and kept me updated on my cats! She’s answered questions I had about the process and I’ve enjoyed seeing my cats at the end of the day (even my shy baby!). I would definitely recommend Daphne :)”

“Alexis went above and beyond to take care of my cat and even took out the trash for me since I was gone for trash day. She was so nice and professional and made sure my vacation was worry free.”

About: Hi, I'm Kit!! I've had a dog in my home as long as I could remember, responsible for feeding and walks as soon as I was old enough to control the leash and reach the food container. I've raised a puppy from 8 weeks all the way to his last breaths as an old man. Dogs are my heart, and I want to help yours have the best time when you're away. I currently DoorDash, so your pets are my priority! Anything they need, I'll take care of it as if they were my own fur-babies! I have a dog of my own who loves to make friends for play dates. At your home, your rules are my laws, and I'll follow them to the letter to make sure your babies are well taken care of!

“Kerri was new to us. Over the week we were gone it was clear she took time to get to know our three Kitty 'kids' and worked to make them comfortable. We liked the pictures every day and could see that the kids warmed up to her over the week and were definitely content and well taken care of. Her service was great. Thanks Kerri!”

About: Ever since a child I have had an undeniable bond with animals. I’ve worked with all types, birds, horses, dogs, cats, livestock, exotic animals, you name it. Growing up my family was always pet people and they’d say I’m more of a pet person than them all! As a previous rancher, I have tons of experience with medications, veterinary care, and pet care for all species. As an entrepreneur I have all the time in the world for my pets and yours! My schedule is almost always free and ready for you! I own a beautiful 6 year old working line German shepherd, so I specialize in high-energy and protective breeds. I understand their drive, structure, and need for leadership. My goal is to keep your dog mentally fulfilled, exercised, and emotionally secure while maintaining the training and routine you’ve built. I also have experience with low energy dogs, training puppies, and even whelping litters! Pet care is my full-time job, so I have a very flexible schedule and can provide consistent attention and care. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week, including weekends, with plenty of time for play, exercise, and companionship. I focus on personalized, attentive care in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I maintain your pet’s routine, monitor behavior and health, and provide mental and physical enrichment. Owners receive regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind.

“I'm so happy I chose Sami. Sami sent me photos every day and never judged me for all the dust under the bed, and she took excellent care of Zoomy. I have another trip coming up in January and I will definitely rebook Sami.”

“Emily did a great job with my cat which I had never left for that many days. She was quick to report in when she had been to the house, sent me pictures of the cat and included a little note about how she was doing. I would highly recommend her.”

“I am so grateful that Alyssa was able to look after my kitties on short notice--and doubly grateful that she was on hand to deal with an urgent medical issue with one of the kitties, which she did very professionally. Alyssa is one of those people who really "gets it" about cats. (Cat people know what I'm talking about 😃.) She gave my extrovert kitty tons of play and snuggle time, and he loved it. I will absolutely be using Alyssa's services in the future!”

About: I've been working extensively and training with dogs, cats, and horses for over a decade! I love animals of all sizes. I worked with a professional trainer to train my first dog at age 15. I've carried those skills over to train my current adventure cat, and my friends' cats and dogs. I'm comfortable getting messy whether it's giving baths or hiking in the mud and rain. I'm a student, so I love working with animals in between study time and classes. I also love hiking, hammocking, and backpacking outdoors with friends and my adventure cat, Chicken Nugget 🐅 I'm a big animal lover! I treat everyone's cats and dogs like my own. I can be flexible with scheduling and I'm always attentive to your pet's wants and needs.

“She had watched our cats twice now for extended lengths of time and is amazing. Not only is she personal and makes you feel confident before hand, but also punctual and knows how to work with cats with differing personalities (one of mine can be a handful and cranky). Will certainly be contacting her when needed again.”

About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs and am comfortable caring for a wide range of personalities and needs. I have had both large and small dog breeds, including Labs, Dachshunds, and German Shorthaired Pointers, so I understand how to handle different energy levels and temperaments. I’m also very attentive to cats and their unique behaviors. I’m confident in reading their cues to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I make it a priority to meet each pet’s individual needs when it comes to feeding, play, and affection. I am currently an online college student who has a flexible schedule where I can check in on your pet at any time that works best with you. I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day to ensure both you and your pet won't have to worry while you are gone. Entrusting your pets care in some else's hands is frightening, I send update photo and video's while updating you on your pet's care. I can adapt to your pets needs in energy levels while going on walk or during play or other special needs.

“Saber is awesome all of the photos and notes are incredibly helpful. Very professional and great with the pets.”

About: What sets me apart is that I treat pets like family, not just a checklist. I pay close attention to their routines, personalities, comfort levels, and little quirks, whether that means giving a shy cat space, keeping a playful pet engaged, or sending updates so you feel reassured while you’re gone. While most of my experience is with cats, I’m also open to caring for dogs and have watched dogs in the past. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely care about making your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. Pet sitting is my full-time work, so my days really are built around caring for animals and showing up for them consistently. I love that I get to spend my time helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. Since this is my main focus, I’m able to be thoughtful and flexible with each pet’s routine. Some pets want playtime and attention, some need a calm presence and a little patience, and some just want their meals on time and their space respected. I try to meet each pet where they are and keep their day feeling as normal and stress-free as possible. I also have my own cat, Mango, so I know how much the little details matter. I bring that same care into every visit, whether I’m checking in on cats, caring for dogs, sending updates, or just helping your pets and home feel settled while you’re gone I’m very respectful of both your pet and your home. I make sure doors, gates, windows, food, and supplies are handled carefully, and I pay attention to the little things that help prevent stress or accidents. I also like to send updates and photos so you feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible and help them feel secure in their own space. Whether your pet is social, shy, playful, or more independent, I’ll meet them where they are and give them care that feels patient, gentle, and trustworthy.

“Mindy checked in 4 times on our pets while we were away, and she did an incredible job. She provided us with the most detailed updates, lots of pictures, and it was clear that she actually enjoyed spending time with our pets. She went above and beyond what I ever could have expected, and the peace of mind her good work provided was so appreciated. It was clear that our pets were in the best possible hands. We will absolutely hire Mindy again, and you should too!!”

Holly Z.

“I could not recommend Jasmine enough! She quickly befriended our kitty when she came over to meet her, sent photos daily, played with her, and kept her happy and healthy during our longest time away from the cat ever (11 days).”
