Pet Boarding Salem

About: I have owned and cared for pets for the last 40 years. I love them like my family. My pets have all lived long healthy lives.i have fostered thru Hopes Haven and have fostered and kept pets for individuals in need. I love them as my kids and grandkids. I an a retired nana. I have a schedule that is flexible to meet most people’s needs for their pets. I currently have two dogs and one cat on property that are a priority in my life. I have 5 fenced acres on a 20 acre farm. A pet door, access inside and out for water. Covered porches and quality controlled heat and A/C in my home. All pets are allowed on furniture and beds. They have toys to play with and can go outside unlimited. I play with them and love on them. I never sit more than 2 pets in my home at one time to insure they have my attention.

About: With 20 years of experience and recognition as a Heart Pin volunteer at Oregon Humane Society, I offer thoughtful, personalized care for dogs, focusing on enrichment activities and positive reinforcement to support their well-being and build trust.

“Payton took amazing care of our dachshund. She provided daily updates with us including photos. It was very easy communicating with her as well.”

“Arielle was amazing!!! This was our first time ever leaving our fur baby with anyone other than family! She made us feel so at ease & remained in contact with us throughout his stay! She sent us pictures so we could see how he was doing & it looked like he was on vacation!!! She accepted him last minute & he came home so content & exhausted from his playtime! We have definitely found Opi’s home away from home!!! If you’re looking for an awesome sitter for your fur baby, look no further!!!”

“This was Libby’s first time staying with Elise and always to have been spoiled rotten. Elise is great with communication which was greatly appreciated since it was first time there Defiantly Libby will be back. Highly recommend”

“I cannot thank Katie and her family enough for their excellent care of our labradoodle Olive while we were out of town for a week. Katie met Olive before the trip, sincerely inquiring about her likes and dislikes. She was on time to pick up Olive and cared about transporting her safely. During the stay Katie sent me pictures and daily communication about Olive's time at her house. All I can say is that Olive was treated like a Queen. She had daily exercise, was well fed (with the food we provided) and most importantly given lots of love. I know Olive would gladly go back to stay with Katie and her family the next time we travel. Thank you Katie!”

About: Hi, I’m Kendyl! I recently moved to Silverton after buying my first home, and I’m loving getting settled into the area. I’m engaged and planning to get married this summer, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I have a German Shepherd that I actively train, so I understand the importance of structure, exercise, and engagement for dogs of all breeds. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, extra playtime, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I truly love animals and will make sure your dog is well cared for and gets the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, as I have a more flexible schedule Monday through Friday during the day. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and training sessions. Since I actively train my own dog, caring for and working with other dogs is already a regular part of my day. Whether it’s a midday walk or some extra enrichment, I’m able to provide the attention and exercise your pet needs! I prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and engaged, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I have a fenced-in yard, providing a secure space for dogs to play and get plenty of exercise. I ensure they have a structured routine, including walks, playtime, and basic training reinforcement if needed. In a client’s home, I follow any specific instructions to maintain consistency in their pet’s routine. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, or enrichment, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve.

“Olive is very communicative, and treated Tulip very well.”

“Sandy and her husband were very welcoming to our dogs, and us! We did a meet and greet first and she introduced her dogs to ours one at a time, and all went well. So nice to not have dogs in a crate or kennel the whole time you are gone, and with Sandy they get to hang out and run around with her 3 Golden Retrievers, inside and safely outside, which is fenced. She sent us pictures while we were gone, of each dog sleeping on the couch. Very accommodating for pick-up and drop-off as well.”

About: Hi there! I am a fear free certified Dog Trainer with a passion for animals of all sizes. Growing up, I had the opportunity to live with and care for a variety of animals including livestock, dogs, cats, pocket pets, aquatic animals, and more. In my free time, I cared for dogs and cats residing at the local animal shelters, providing them with loving attention and exercise. I have also fostered dogs and cats of all ages in my home providing them with a safe, loving, and enrichment-filled environment until they find their forever home. Throughout my stay, you can expect to receive daily updates covering their activities and overall well-being. This can include written updates, photos, or short clips of their daily activities. I am skilled at administering medications as needed and can provide specialized care for your pets. I follow your daily routine strictly and provide mental stimulation for both cats and dogs to ensure the smoothest transition until you return. I look forward to meeting you and thank you for your time! I am currently providing pet care and training fulltime so I will be able to provide your pet with my full attention throughout their stay. They will be cared for as if they were my own. I will follow the routine your pet is used to and be sure to provide extra love and attention to help them settle in comfortably.

About: I've worked with cheetahs, so I can work with your cat who thinks they are a cheetah too! I have volunteered at a humane society, working in the spay-and-neuter clinic and taking care of animals after the procedures. I have also dog-walked and taken photos for their website, so you will definitely get some cute photos of your pets when they are with me! I have also trained animals as large as a lion and as small as a Chihuahua. My major is animal-focused, and I used to own pets myself. I currently go to Oregon State University 3 days a week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am available all days as I come home between classes on the days I have school. I have a yard and I live close to the park so I'd love to take your dog to the park if arranged in advanced! I also have calmer areas of the house and more active areas of the house if needed.

“Rachel really helped us a lot with watching Rice after our wedding. We super appreciate her flexibility and communication! It allowed us to relax at our event knowing that he was in good hands :)”

Jenny L.

“They were so wonderful! I loved getting the photos and updates. Will absolutely use these guys again, they made sure my puppy was very loved!”
