Dog Walking in Salem

“Jessika was easily the best I’ve found in the app by far. I work long hours and require someone to stop by for a walk and food/water break. She was great with my puppy and even left a little surprise for her. My little girl seemed much less stressed after her visits and it completely removed the stress of worrying about her while working. I would absolutely recommend Jessika!”

“Hunter has saved the day again! She is reliable & so sweet with our Milo. Hunter kept fantastic communication & it was clear that Milo missed her!”

About: I've had a 91 lb labradoodle from puppy to now for about 4 years. I've also been told that my cat adopted me about 1.5 years ago. My dog is a happy go lucky guy who's never met a person or animal he didn't like. My cat is about 15 years old and requires injectable medication twice a day, so nothing scares me when it comes to medication. I've taken care of the odd African Grey Parrot from time to time as well. I take my dog out every morning, lunch time and several times in the evening for walks and play. Our cat needs medicine twice a day that requires an injection so I'm well versed in providing medication and taking care of animals with special needs. There's a giant pop up blocking what this field is meant to say but it's saying I have to fill it in, perhaps I can update it later when the pop up is gone.

“she was very polite and aware of the dogs needs, definitely stayed in touch with me the whole time which made me feel safer. Definitely will be rebooking with her! Give her a chance, you won’t regret it.”

About: I have experience caring for both elderly and young dogs. This has equipped me with a variety of skills such as age-appropriate exercise, nutritional needs, and understanding certain behaviors and how to react. I just recently graduated high-school and need something to fill my time. Playing with your pups seems to be the best thing to fill my day! I’m free majority of the week and only work part-time as a waitress. I have a cat and dog at my house but both a friendly to other animals. If needed the animals can be put in a separate room away from clients pet.

“Molly is a ray of sunshine. Our dog, Rosé, who she walks twice a week, loves Molly. Usually, Rosé is very hesitant to go on walks with anyone but me but she happy goes along with Molly and enjoys her time with her (and comes back sufficiently satisfied!). Molly is communicative and flexible as well, which I appreciate.”

“Mylah walked my dog Doozier for three days while I was out of town. She is very responsible, arrived for walks as scheduled, and is a great communicator. Most importantly, she allowed Doozier to take the walk that he is accustomed to, which is slow and deliberate. I could not be more pleased to meet Mylah and would trust her with my dog any time.”

About: I have years of experience of animal handling. I have worked as a zoo educator and have pet sat for years. I have a passion for animals and their well being. I’m available most days for visits and overnight stays. You can contact me through the app and I will get back you as soon as possible. I have stayed overnight for clients many times and can provide excellent references. Some light house keeping is typically included for overnights unless specified otherwise.

About: I have had dogs all my life and have one of my own now who loves to have friends and visitors come over! I offer walking services, house visits, and boarding in the Salem, VA area. I work full-time, so I am mostly available for weekend boarding, house visits, walks, etc. While your pets are staying with us, they will be treated with the utmost care and will be guaranteed to have an active and safe time in our fenced in backyard. I have had experience caring for all ages of dogs from puppies to older "puppies at heart," including providing medication orally or shots as necessary. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me and I will be glad to answer any questions.

About: Aside from having a dog in my family my whole life, I've taken care of many dogs over the years. From my neighbor's golden retriever in high school (who I would sneak over to play with when she was out in the yard) to a few dogs in my neighborhood now, I love to get to know the dogs that I help take care of. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting, both in my home and visiting the dog's home. I'm also happy to provide baths and other special care as needed. As a stay at home dad, I have a flexible schedule and can provide a lot of attention for dogs visiting our home, as well as work in a daily walk if that's part of their normal routine. We have a large fenced yard that your dog can enjoy. We've had a variety of dogs stay with us either with or without crates and we can create separate areas with gates if necessary. If your dog stays with us, I have a flexible schedule to provide a lot of attention and with a family of 5 there's always someone around to play with, pet, or sit with your dog. Our friendly beagle is always happy to have a new friend to play with and he's more than willing to share our daily walks around the neighborhood with another friend.

“Rebecca was available to come over short notice and provided lots of photos and details from their walk. Winnie def looked like she enjoyed it. Will def use her again in the future!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was small. I get along well with and enjoy being around them. I was even able to teach a blind rescue I took in how to learn our house and surrounding areas, so he could move freely. I have a flexible schedule and work from home and in the field with clients. Because of this, I am able to spend a lot of quality time with your fur babies. I have a fenced play area and two sweet dogs of my own. Lucy my Labradoodle and Bean my chihuahua. I am able to crate your baby if needed, and I also have a play pen for smaller dogs. Please bring their food, treats, and medicine. You are more than welcome to bring their special blanket or bed, but I have plenty of bowls here to share. Regarding drop offs and pick ups, I appreciate if you would limit the timeframe within an hour. Though I often work from home, I am also a graduate student and work out in the field, as well.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of family dogs and cats, and now have two 6 year old cats of my own! Additionally, I’ve volunteered at the RVSPCA with the cats weekly for the past two and a half years. I work Tuesdays through Fridays but am available late evenings every night and all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays to take care of all your pet needs! I like to treat every pet like they are my own, and will always do everything in my power to make sure that they remain safe and feel like they are in a safe environment while you are away.

“Chester came back, happy and tired, which that’s what my goal was. I did think that this was a dog walk for an hour but it seems that it was just him playing out in the yard so definitely not what I thought I had paid for. However, whatever was done did work. So no offense I’m gonna see if I can find somebody who will walk him and see if it has even better results. I will keep you in mind if I need a long-term sitter like for a day or two days or a week. I’m not sure if you do that or not but Might work out for me.”

About: As someone who has worked at pet stores, kennels, and a veterinary hospital in addition to regular pet sitting, caring for animals is second nature to me. My pet-sitting experience includes daily dog walking for owners who work long hours, multiple daily visits for travelers whose dogs do better at home rather than a kennel, and daily check-ins for puppies who need more frequent trips outdoors while they are house-breaking. As an animal-lover, I truly enjoy the time I get to spend with your pet while you work or vacation. I believe exercise, a predictable schedule and one-on-one care are key to your dog having a relaxing and anxiety-free separation from you. I'm completely dedicated to spending time with your pet when you aren't able to. I have a very flexible schedule and will prioritize keeping your pet on a regular feeding and potty schedule that suits his or her needs. I tend to take the advice of the pet owner about their pet’s safety needs. They know their pet better than anyone. I always provide feedback if I notice anything unusual. For example: - Ginger seemed to be limping a bit on our walk today - Max didn’t have much of an appetite this morning - Echo grabbed something when she was in the back yard and ate it before I could see what it was - just giving you a heads up!

About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15 years old. I’ve worked in 2 vet offices as a kennel assistant, so I have experience bathing, simple grooming, administering medication, and walking. I recently graduated from the University of North Alabama with a degree in biology. I would love the opportunity to look after your pets for you, I know for me my dog is much more than just a pet. She’s my baby, and I’ll treat your kiddos the same way I treat mine: with love and affection! I have plenty of free time to care for your animals. I’m more than flexible with scheduling and cancellations, so my availability is wide open. I have one other dog in the house, a red Doberman, and she’s never met someone she didn’t love. She’s so lovable and gets along with every dog she’s ever been around. I walk my dog daily and it would be no trouble at all to walk yours too.
