Top rated Salem pet sitters

“Kaleigh per usual is amazing and goes above and beyond. My puppy started training this week and she adjusted her normal routine to accommodate the new training and reinforce the new routine. She is simply the best!”


“Ayla is awesome! Trustworthy and attentive. She brings a good, calming energy that is needed for my very excitable dog. I specifically booked her because of her PM availability. I work 12 hour night shifts I and needed someone to let my dog out for a pee break around 11pm. She also takes great care of my cats when I’m away for the weekend. It gives me great peace of mind to leave my pets in her care!”


“Declan was a great sitter! Look forward to working with him in the future. Would highly recommend him and what he offers your animals. It is hard to find someone as good as him, and we are lucky to have him!”


“First visit alone with Champagne and Melissa is a miracle worker. Champagne can be stubborn, but Melissa got her to go out and take a walk...wow, impressed! Melissa has been very responsive and on-time for her visits, she is charming and so easy to get along with! Can't wait for more visits and overnights in 2024!”


“Paige was fantastic in caring for our 3 parakeets and cat. She was prompt in arrival time, so kind and very easy to communicate with over Rover. We would gladly re book Paige to care for our babies in the future!”


“Linnea is incredible. I highly recommend her to take care of your furry family members. Her updates and pictures make me feel so much better when I have to leave my dog for long periods of time.”


“Emily was amazing with our pets! I could tell she genuinely cared about them and made sure they were comfortable while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and messages about her visits and really calmed my nerves about having to leave my pets!”


About: I provide 24/7 care! I have always had a love for animals. I personally have had dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and even fish. I can never picture my life without them. Pets are an amazing gift to this world and I see them as a part of the family. They give nothing but unconditional love and I'm here in this world to do the same for them! For the House Sitting I get dropped off and picked up from them so once I arrive im there 100% of the time. I am very excited to get to meet your pets and take care of them! Also offer Drop-ins for Monday-Friday late evenings. Weekends I’m available all day. I'm currently doing work from home as a digital artist so I have the luxury of being able to work from anywhere and anytime I want. That being said I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. Weekdays and Weekends included Each pet will vary to their needs, and I am willing to adapt to whatever will be needed for their safety. I will always check the basics to ensure fence gates are closed or their leash is securely attached. Plenty of potty breaks and playtime :). And of course, fed and given water. Also willing to give any medicine they are in need of. They will be well taken care of.

“Kaya is very attentive and took great care of my three sassy cats. She responds very quickly and is always available for your needs. Kayla is a great photographer and sent terrific photos and videos that made me feel so at ease on my vacation, knowing that my girls are well cared for.”


“Megan watched our cat Isla. Isla is an extremely shy cat who keeps to herself and she absolutely loved Megan and gave her so much love and attention! We plan on rehiring her another two times already. Highly recommend”


“Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.”



About: I'm an energetic person who enjoys being with dogs. I pay close attention to detail and I am always willing to engage in activities to keep your dog busy but I also know dogs need some down time as well. I stay at home full-time so I will be able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time in the backyard. I am currently a dog daddy to a Chihuahua named Lucy. She'll be 1 years old on November 1st. She's very loving and friendly dog. I have 7 years of experience. I don't mind taking your dogs or puppies out for walks instead of just staying in the backyard. I will take good care of your beloved pets as if they were my very own.

About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life, I can't get enough ❤️ I have been a foster mom for 3 different rescues over the past 6.5 years, helping many different dogs prepare for their adoptions and transition to their new homes. I have experience with different ages, health conditions and personalities. I am very observant and patient, I err on the side of caution as you can never be too safe! Dog sitting is my full time job, so I am able to tend to your pup(s) consistently and provide a clean and safe home environment. Stays are limited to just 4 few spots, in my quiet, spacious home. Pups have unlimited access to my huge fenced in yard, with plenty of new smells and places to explore! I do not crate them unless it is necessary for meal times, rest, etc. They will be treated like family while they are here, with social time as well as one on one attention. If your pup matches with the group, they will have lots of play time to burn off their excess energy too! I will also send pictures and videos, as much as your heart desires, so you can be at ease that your dog is happy while you are away! My business is also privately insured.


“I had Carla come let my dog out when I had a busy day. It happened to be raining so she took him on a walk and for a car ride. She spent much more time with him than I had anticipated and he loved it! It was great to know that I could go to work and he was being well taken care of and wasn't stuck in his kennel all day!”


About: As an avid runner and walker, I love to get dogs out and about! At home, I have four chihuahuas and two cats, so I'm very comfortable with both big and small pets. My wife even calls me Dr. Dolittle because dogs tend to gravitate toward me. I would be thrilled to offer pet sitting and overnight stays for your furry family members! I have previously worked as a vet tech in a cat hospital and have been around both cats and dogs my whole life. Give me a call to discuss your pet needs, from quick visits to longer stays, I'm available whenever you need me. I work from home with a relaxed schedule, so am free most times of the day for whatever pet needs you have. I am able to be ready whenever you are. I have a fenced in yard and a park close by for walks. I have a fenced in yard and a park close by for walks.

About: I have taken care of dogs & cats for over 20 years. Many of our friends & family have had me watch their fur babies when they are out of town or away at work. I grew up on a farm and have lots of experience with different animals. I’m a stay at home mom with school age kids. This gives me the flexibility to provide in my home care, drop in at your home care or daily walks for your dogs. I have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood. I live next to a forest preserve trail for easy access to provide daily walks. Our dog is very friendly and would love an extra companion to play with.

Cassandra G.Star Sitter
“Cassandra is such a wonderful caring sitter. I am so nervous to leave my big giant pupper with anyone but she made me feel at ease and I knew my dog was in good hands. She has a giant fence yard and plenty of space to arrange for any dogs needs during their stay. Very reliable and responsive! 10/10 recommend. She sends updates and let's you know how your dog is doing. Very super professional, gentle, patient, and a very loving person not only in general but to animals. You can't go wrong with that. :) I will only trust her with my dog. She needs the best sitter in the world award! 🏆”
