House Sitting Salem

“We were in a real bind to get a sitter and she was able to help us at the last minute. She took great care of both of our dogs and even washed some of their blankets while we were gone. Would recommend her again!”

“Thank you Phillip so much for coming and staying and housesitting with my two dogs lolly and Putter. You gave them excellent care took care of my household and everything looked beautiful When I got home. You kept in touch with me sending me pictures. You’re the best and I will absolutely request you again. Thank you so much. I so appreciate you.”

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

“Tabitha was great! She kept me updated with photos throughout the stay and went above and beyond my expectations. She did an amazing job caring for Ellie, and I would definitely book with her again. 10/10”

About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.

“Saber was amazing with our pets. Our pup is very high energy and she gave him lots of big walks. Our senior cat needs daily medicine (ointment rubbed on the inside of her ears twice a day). She did everything so well. She even prepped some of our dog's lick mat treats for when we got back! She had timely communication and shared updates and photos. It was her first time sitting for us and we were absolutely thrilled with the job she did.”

About: I’ve had many pets over the years. I’m loving and caring and will provide the same attention to your loved pets. I’m happy to provide updates and or pictures while they are in my care. I’m currently not working outside the home. I can easily stay at your home or do drop ins. I’m able to drive as often as needed to care for your pet. I will treat your fur baby like I do my own. Making sure the environment is safe outside for them to go potty. Making sure they are fed and watered.

“Desiree & Tyler took amazing care of our pup and house for several days. They are knowledgeable, friendly, personable, and professional. We have already booked them again for a trip we are taking in a couple months. Anyone fortunate enough to engage them will be well served. Your pet(s) will be well cared for, and your property will be treated as if it was their own. We look forward to a long relationship with Desiree and Tyler.”

“This is the first time I've utilized a pet sitter from Rover and we had an amazing experience. Aoife came over and met the dogs and got the lay of the land. We did a backyard introduction and my dogs didn't even bark at her. We showed her around and just overall had a great feeling about leaving our dogs (and chickens) with her. Off we went to the overwhelming heat of California for 9 days. She was communicative and reassured us while we were gone. We all know... the real test comes when you get home. Well she passed with flying colors. The house was in maybe a little better condition than we left it, chickens all alive, houseplants all alive, dogs exercised and ready to relax after an initial manic hello. I'm telling you, I even think my dogs may be better behaved than we left them. We've had dog sitters where we come home and have to retrain some things but nothing was amiss. I cannot recommend her highly enough. We already have her booked again! I want to note that she took care of two dogs that both have some additional needs. Our German Shephard needs her food soaked and our Pit Bull takes pills. Aoife took care of all of this without any problem.”

“Whitney was very communicative while we were away, sharing photos of our dogs with us. They were very comfortable with her, which really put us at ease while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of the house as well. I will definitely call Whitney for any future care needs - and I would recommend her highly to anyone! Thank you, Whitney!”

About: Hi! I have experience with all different types of animals. I have a 7 year old terrier mix that gets along with other dogs. I used to foster and took care of all types of dogs. I’m a nurse so I have experience with giving meds. When I go to work, my boyfriend is at home and your pet will not be alone. I work 3 days a week but my boyfriend works from home and is home all of the time. We can take your dog to the park and go on walks at least twice a day. We have a two bedroom house with plenty of space inside. We have a small outdoor space for your dog to sniff but we will go on daily walks with your dog.

“Javier did a great job with our pets! He was also very flexible and accommodating when our plans changed. We would definitely book him again 😊”

About: I live in Salem but drive up to Portland several times a week. So If you live in the Portland or Salem area or anywhere in between, I am happy to help you with your pet sitting needs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. My earliest pet care was at the age of 10 taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they were gone. In my adult life, I've had one cat and 4 dogs. My current dog is a Standard Poodle named Percy. He's a huge love! I know your pets are your heart, too. I strive to give your pets my best love and care while you're gone, just like I would want someone to give Percy! I currently work from home, so I can pop in or stay over easily. I would hope that your pet is able to walk with Percy, because he would hate to be left out of the fun. Each pet is unique and will be respected. Grouchy kitty under the bed?? I’ll say hello extra sweet and then leave them be. Tigger-like active puppy? Let’s throw some balls in the yard! The pet that thinks my lap is theirs? Good snuggles and lots of sweet talk, for sure! Let’s chat and see what your pet needs.

About: As a proud dog and cat lover, I know how vital it is that your furred loved one receives the proper care they need. I grew up in a home with a German Sheperd, a Poodle, and 3 cats, so I’m aware of how unique each pet must be handled. Because of this, I make it my mission to follow your instructions and requests to the letter. I’m a detail oriented person who thrives on clear and rigid rules. But I’m not against just sitting back and relaxing with an anxious dog or cat, if all they’re in need of is someone in the house to make their owners absence a little less scary. I’m a full time video editor. But because of this, I make my own schedule, and often work into the late hours of the night. All I require to work, is my laptop, a wi-fi signal and a pair of headphones. The perfect person to keep an ear out for any anxious dog in need of calming down, or a surly cat in need of their nightly meal. I follow any and all instructions to the letter. I understand that a lot of pets can be quite eccentric. If an elderly Terrier needs the TV on? I’ll do it. I’m also aware of just how difficult finding the right home for yourself is, and will treat your house with the utmost respect. Wiping feet before entry, not a dish out of place, trash neatly put away. I think of it like visiting a park, I’m there for the animals, not to leave litter strewn about.

“Willow took care of my little rescue, Barry, for 10 days at my home. She is very responsible and caring… Barry warmed up to her quickly and she gained his trust within a day. I highly recommend Willow for caring for your pet. She left my place in immaculate condition and I will definitely use her to watch my pup again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, along with other animals like birds, mice, fish, lizards, etc. I have been told I have that “Disney Princess” knack for animals liking me! I’m a college student looking to spend my spare time earning some cash and doing something I love :) I’m currently a college student—so I do have to work around a class schedule! I have pockets throughout the day where I am free for quick visits, but most of my availability is in the afternoon or on the weekends I will follow whatever instructions you give me about your pet to a t. No matter if you want them inside, outside, in a crate—I just want what’s safest for everyone :)

“Lee did Awesome! We really appreciated her communication and professionalism. Our pets loved her and she did great taking care of them. She also kept the house clean. Thanks Lee!”

Timber T.

“Rachel cared for our two dogs so well. She is calm and reassuring to the dogs and so careful about all the details of their care. They were perfectly content and cheerful when we returned home!”

Sonja S.

“Tabitha, thank you for such a positive experience! Tabitha was very responsive and easy to work with. She kept to the pups routine and they seemed to be very comfortable with her. She left the house just as we left it. I definitely be happy to rebook Tabitha.”
