“Heather and her husband were great to work with! They were quickly able to fit us in for a doctors appointment my mom had. Chance was happy to go with her husband and came back one happy and tired pup. I definitely recommend them and will be using them again!”

“Austen is great with our dog Tara. She loves her walks with him! And he wears her out. He is communicative and keeps us posted on their walk happenings. He takes good pictures for the rover card but not excessive. I’ve had some walkers take 40 pics on a walk and I have to wonder a little how much attention Tara is getting. Austen is really great. So glad we found him!”

About: I offer a lifetime of animal experience combined with 2 years of professional care. As an aspiring Vet Med student, I’m highly comfortable with all animals including (but not limited to) cats, dogs, fish, and snakes. I have experience with special needs care and am happy to administer medications or follow strict medical routines at no extra cost. My goal is a career in veterinary medicine, so your pet’s health and safety are always my top priority! Currently in high school as a senior so my schedule is very open as I have only a couple of classes. Graduating June 5th, after that my schedule will be wide open! With cat jobs, each visit includes feeding and emptying litter boxes so they are always clean. This also includes playing with the cat/cats for a minimum of 15 minutes each visit, or continuously throughout the day. For dog sitting, each visit includes a potty break/short walk, feeding if necessary, and play time. I am available to walk the dog/dogs for longer walks 2-3 times a day. Of course, each pet's needs are different and I am open to discuss what works best for you and your animal! Additionally I send daily updates and pictures (if wanted) so you never have to worry about your animals!
“Ricky is the best! Did a meet and greet with our old gal Eva, and then walked her today! Took lots of photos which i absolutely appreciate, and followed our requests as mentioned during the meet and greet. Overall a great experience, will be choosing Ricky as our official dog walker again!”

“Erin is wonderful with my anxious dog! When my pup was having trouble trusting the walk at first, Erin moved slow and built trust with her, and they got out the door and had a nice walk. Thanks so much for being patient and kind with my girl”

About: I have taken care dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I am patient and engage with each pet at their speed. As a volunteer at the Oregon Humane Society, I understand the unique needs that each pet has and am eager to meet them! I work a part-time job with 6–8 hour shifts on select days. I keep my availability on Rover up to date and will always communicate in advance if a scheduling conflict arises. I have a fenced backyard for secure playtime and exercise. I provide supervised play, regular feeding, and plenty of affection, always tailoring care to each pet’s needs.
About: I have a dog and two cats of my own. I would love to care for your pets as I would my own! I love cats and dogs of all sizes. I am willing to administer medications, spend the night, and whatever else your fur babies need! I'm a full-time student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can study at your place while hanging with your pets, and I have Fridays off. My husband and I walk the dog and clean the litter boxes daily. I have cared for our pets through medical emergencies and surgeries. One of our cats is indoor/outdoor, and the other is fully indoor.

About: Know what it's like to own dogs since childhood. Tell me what they love, like, and hate. Love to bring gifts for the dog(s) anytime. Also been a great house sitter and pet sitter for my mother in the past when she visited grandkids for a week in California. As far in advance as possible since I also do crowd management seasonally but haven't worked since April 1st. P.S. A page from the daily calendar for Life Hacks encouraged me to join and I do know someone on Rover.com named Stephen. He's a dog sitter, owner, and trainer. I live in a condo on the ground level with a patio and a view of Mill Creek. I'd prefer to house and/or pet watch at your place.
“Donna was absolutely wonderful with my girl Patty today. She is very knowledgeable and patient, plus she knows just what to do with my girl when she needs it. Very good use of treats at perfect times and an all around excellent walk. Will be booking again for sure!”

“Kevin is kind, caring, reliable, considerate, and so much more! We feel very blessed to have connected with Kevin and fully trust him with our beloved Labrador. We highly recommend Kevin’s pet care services.”

About: Hi there! I’m new to Rover as of March 2025, but I’ve been providing pet care for many years. I teach both virtually and in person for about 6 hours a week, so I have plenty of availability outside those times to care for your pet - including walks, playtime, and snuggles! I have the flexibility to structure my daily and weekly routine in a way that allows me to give your pet the attention they need while fulfilling my responsibilities. During breaks between, teaching fitness classes, I make sure to check in and ensure they are comfortable, Your Pet care is important part of my daily routine. In the morning, I start by feeding your pet and give them plenty of pets and snuggle and letting them out to potty. During the day, I make sure they have everything they need, whether that’s a comfortable space to relax or toys to play with. In the evening, I take them on a walk, some playtime, and a final feeding.

About: My first best friend as a baby, Champ, was a loving Cocker Spaniel. I have had many dogs over the years and currently am the proud Auntie of a Pit-Bull/Great Dane and a Chihuahua-both rescues. I have been a DC resident for just over a year and spend as much time with them as I can! While I work a 9-5, I have ample time in the evenings and weekends to care for your pet(s). I have 5 years professional pet-sitting experience. I have provided walks, visits, and over-night care for over 30 clients in my former residences, Phoenix and Chicago, with a private company and with Wag.

About: Hi! I am Blue and I am new to Salem! I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was around 10 years old! I grew up with cats and dogs since I was a baby and this led me to develop an absolute love for animals of all kinds! To this day, I absolutely adore being around animals, especially cats and dogs, and really enjoy taking care of them. I have taken care of my family’s, neighbor’s, teacher’s and other pets for 13 years now and have loved every minute of it! I have experience taking care of a wide variety of dogs, from my family’s extremely energetic 110 pound Boxer and Pitbull mix when I was a kid, to Chihuahuas who are very timid and just want to relax. As for cats, I have worked with many different kinds and temperaments of cats since I can remember. From very playful and attention seeking kittens, to easily scared and calm adult cats, and honestly everything in between! I pride myself on being able to support and care for cats and dogs of all different kinds and temperaments and know that this is due to my commitment to best attune my care giving style to each individual pet. Additionally, I worked at a Veterinarian’s office as a Receptionist for a period of time and gained even more experience interacting with, handling, and generally taking care of a wide spectrum of cats and dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and get to know about them and their care needs! While you’re away, my number one goal is to give them all of the love and care that you as the pet parent usually provide, and help them feel taken care of and right at home! I am currently working part time from home so I have plenty of time to take care of, give attention to, and play with your fur babies! I take care of my cat, Twig, daily and would love to add your pets to that daily care routine. I am regularly available morning to evening 7 days a week! I have lots of previous experience taking care of client’s pets in their homes! Since I was around 10 years old, my neighbors, family friends, and others trusted and relied on me to come check on their animals, feed them, walk them if desired, play with them, and give them love and attention. Starting at 12 years old, I began providing overnight house sitting and pet sitting services. I have done many different styles of in-home pet care at this point. I have done jobs from a 14+ day stay in a client's house where I was taking full care of their cat and dog, to doing a much less involved job of 3 times a day checking in and caring for an older cat for a week.
About: I am a CVT and currently work at a ER vet clinic. Since high school I have worked in the veterinary field and have many years of experience taking care of your beloved pets. Able to medicate and give injections of meds if needed. I take care of your pet as if it was my own. My current shifts are 12hr shift from 9a-9p in case that would impede on the care of your pet. I am happy try and be flexible to work out a schedule while you are gone I live in a quiet apartment and can only keep small pets or one large dog in my apartment at a time. My two dogs love playing with other dogs. I am also happy to stop by your place and provide the care in the relaxing setting of your pet's own home.
About: I have been walking dogs weekly through Rover for 1 year. I’ve cared for my own pets since I was a kid, I have 2 dogs and 8 cats currently. I also occasionally pet sit for my parents when they’re out of town. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a very open schedule to come care for your pet! I like to stay very active so walking and home visits are perfect for me. My kids will join me on my walks and visits, they are respectful and love animals as well! The safety of your fur baby is most important! As a fur mama and human mama myself, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of!

Soo grateful for Josh’s attention to my dog. Great with communication. I loved the updates I received and that he was willing to bring a towel from his home to dry my dog after his walk because I couldn’t find the dog towel. Look forward to continuing his services. My sister was home one day and she told me my dog loves Josh and is excited to go on his walk! Thank you Josh!

Thank you, Natalia, for your wonderful help with my pup Cali! I appreciated your professionalism and meeting upfront to rehearse, and I continue appreciating your excellent results, and time getting my Cali into the park... so glad to come home to a smiling pup, your great photos make me smile every time, too. Natalia is an excellent choice, I am happy that we met!
