House Sitting in Salem

“We felt our baby was very happy and taken care of during our vacation. We had daily conversations with pictures to make us feel comfortable knowing that he was in good hands.”

“Michelle was great with our 2 dogs. One dog is very shy, and nervous. Michelle gave her the space & time, to be comfortable with her. She took great care of the dogs, as well as, our home. She was great at communicating, sending updates, and pictures. We'll definitely be using her again.”

Jean B.

“Jennifer took care of our 3 dogs for a week while we were away. She communicated and sent pictures so we knew how they were doing. I felt very comfortable leaving our babies with her. I highly recommend her.”

Katarina P.

“Haley is the best dog sitter and dog walker ever! She’s so attentive with our fur babies. Haley sends updates to ease your mind while you’re traveling. I’m just beyond happy and grateful for her. Haley is our dog’s bestie and our older cat loves to curl up next to her!!! Huge plus! Thank you again Haley for being so amazing!”

Natalie V.

“Brittany took care of my 2 senior dogs while we were away for 3 days. One of our dogs requires meds 3 times a day, and she is an over reactive dog. Brittany handled a situation with another dog that was off leash very effectively! My dog does not like other dogs, and she picked up my dog to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Overall she took very good care of their needs, even walking them a couple times a day when she could have just let them in the fenced yard. I would definitely recommend Brittany to watch over your pets and give them the best of care.”

“This was the first time using Rover. I could not be more pleased with the individual we picked when we chose Josh!!! He was readily available. He kept in great communication with us throughout the entire process from booking to his departure after watching our pups. He cleaned up and left house clean and tidy. Even kept the pups safe during a tornado warning. Cannot wait to book again with Josh!”

Julie F.

“Emily was great! She kept great communication with lots of pictures and updates. She took lots of time with our puppy along with walks on top of it. She was able to work with us on short notice. We felt very comfortable knowing our puppy was in good hands! We have her booked for another 2 jobs already ❤️”

Stephanie P.

“Tabitha was amazing with my old man Duke. She was able to handle his crazy mamas instructions, sent pics, videos and updates- and the house was just as good as when I left!! Not to mention the peace of mind with her being a vet tech- it really allowed me to relax and not worry while I was away! Thank you Tabitha!”

Stephanie N.

“Gwen was absolutely wonderful with Chevy! She followed all instructions to a T, sent us tons of sweet updates and photos, and left our home spotless. Chevy was clearly happy and well cared for—we could tell he felt totally at ease. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and would welcome her back anytime!”

About: I began doing pet sitting in 2016 for family & friends, and that was most of my sitting experience until I began my dog training certification. Now I’ve been in pet care professionally for two years, and have had my dog trainer certification for half of that. My weeks are based around pet care. I do it full-time and have a customizable schedule based around my various clients & appointments. I have special hours available at request. I make sure to get an exact outline of what is expected/allowed for the pet, and am not shy about requesting elaboration if there’s any confusion on my part. Additionally, I like to do what I can to keep them mentally stimulated with games, activities, and some light obedience training/reinforcement so they can hopefully carry that good behavior over to their daily life.

“Ariana has been my go to sitter! She is so good with my Lucy and she loves her. Very dependable! She also has helped me out with a few small projects around the house while I’m away. Highly recommend!”

Kelly M.

“Our dog Cali loved having Derek here. Cali loved just hanging out with him plus the extra outside time Derek provided was a real treat”

Elaine J.

“We recently had the pleasure of having Shalynn care of our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She was extremely professional, reliable, and showed a genuine affection for our pets. Shalynn followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend [Pet Sitter's Name] to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

Donna V.

“Ayla was awesome, sweet, and very attentive. I appreciate her sending me pictures and updates and she followed all of my instructions. Would love to book her again.”

Zara V.

“We booked Jason for house sitting with our dog who has separation anxiety and does not do well in a boarding environment. Jason is great with our dog! Jason came into our house and our dog immediately migrated to him. Jason provided ample walks and gave our dog personalized attention. His wife Emily is also a dog sitter on this site and she has watched our dog too! She is also amazing! We will only be using their services for our dog! We love the husband and wife team!”

Jennifer E.

“Emily took great care of our pets and home while we were away! We came back after our trip to a clean house and happy pups and kitties. She is very responsive to messages and sent updates of the pets. I would absolutely hire her again!”

Raquel C.

“Logan was excellent - this was the first time we were leaving our two dogs at home during a long vacation. Logan has been extremely responsive and the dogs loved her! I highly recommend Logan -”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve worked at pet stores and currently work at a Doggy Daycare and Boarding facility (Love Unleashed, St. Louis) while at university. I want to make pets feel the least amount of stress as possible, while their humans are away. I want to give them Love, Security, and Fun. For this Summer, I’m available after 6pm Monday -Thursday. And anytime Friday- Sunday until August 20th when I head back to University. I will be completely available for Pet sitting in the Lake County area during the winter holidays. Each situation is different so the amount of time spent with a pet will be dictated by the pet parent. Whatever your fur baby needs is what I will give them. If I am house sitting, I will respect your space and follow the rules and standards that you set. I will ensure fences are latched and leashes are secured. Each pet will have their individual needs met.

About: I have had and taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and so many other exotic animals since I was very young. I also have experience working with a wide variety of pets at vet clinics as well as a pet resort both of which I walked, fed, administered medication, and watched several dogs in a daycare setting. I also worked with a wide range of exotic animals as my career after graduating college! During the school year I am a substitute teacher typically working M-F until about 4pm. This summer I will be working at Apple Holler as a tour guide with a slightly inconsistent schedule but the days I do work I will usually be finished around 3pm. That being said I am available to do drop ins and walks later in the afternoon after work. I have most weekends available as well. When caring for your pets I will always be cognizant of the surroundings. I respect the owners choices of the best way to manage their dog so I will use leashes, crates, etc. whenever it is needed or recommended.

“Carolyn is fantastic! We’ve used her twice to stay with our two dogs at our house and she does such a great job of taking care of them. Our pups have separation anxiety and leaving them has always resulted in trauma when we return, but having Carolyn here has made our returns so much easier and we are so thankful to know they are being loved while we are away from them.”
