“Maya is so good with my senior dog Opie! She is a great communicator and has been able to provide me with a lot of flexibility surrounding my work schedule. I am able to depend on and trust her!”

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I’ll care for yours like they’re part of my own little crew. I’m a wedding and family photographer, and I share my home with a sweet corgi named Frankie and a cat named Becky. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, so your dog will enjoy plenty of neighborhood walks, lots of cuddle time during the day, and fun play sessions in the backyard! Spacious/ quiet home, no kids, fenced yard. I live with an energetic corgi who loves to play to fetch. I also have a very chill cat who likes to watch what is going on.

“Liliana is lovely and definitely has a connection with dogs. My little dog Nina doesn’t trust people at all and she immediately liked Liliana. I was tied up when she came to walk Nina and Nina barked and then went out with her without any fuss and without me being there! Liliana is professional, friendly and punctual. HIGHLY recommend!! NOTE: I would hire her weekly but my sister offered to help me - it’s not because Liliana isn’t the best!”

About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.

About: I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, sizes, and personality. I have trained puppies before (and even my cat can do tricks) as well have helped care for elderly pets who need extra attention. I am very skilled at reading animal body language and finding the right way to connect with each unique furry friend. My schedule is very open! I currently see clients on Tuesday afternoons/evenings for an internship, but otherwise my schedule is open and flexible. There are occasional dates where I have other obligations, but I generally am able to work with most schedules. NOTE: Not looking to house sit for longer than 3 days at a time. I am very respectful of the spaces of others, and aim to leave no trace other than my care for your pets. I am training to be a therapist/counselor, so I very much understand how fundamental mutual trust, boundaries, and communication are in a healthy working relationship and take that extremely seriously regardless of what service I am providing.

“Thanks for taking care of Issa this week Erika! She enjoys her outings with you so much. It’s great to know we can trust you to take care of her for us. 😊”

“Lena did a great job walking my sweet but reactive Cowpie. She gets so sad when I'm away and Lena was able to get her out the door and make it happen.”

Maureen E.

“Lucinda filled in for 3 days as a dog walker for my furry-faced chihuahua daughter. She showed patience and kindness to a somewhat skittish pup. I felt confident that she would provide the care my pup needed while I worked long days in medicine. I would not hesitate to hire her again or to recommend her.”

Erica T.

“Hanna was awesome. We were in a pinch when our usual walker had to cancel last minute right before we went on a 2 week trip, and Hanna came through! Hanna put us at ease and completely brought our stress level down! Most importantly my puppers had some good adventures :)”

Holly C.

“Phoebe did an amazing job with my husky and Great Pyrenees, who can both be difficult. I was anxious to ask for help but Phoebe was so kind, patient and attentive. She relieved me of so much stress and took phenomenal care of my pups. I would highly recommend her to everyone!”

Tristyn M.

“Always a pleasure working with Shayla!”

“Catie’s the best!”

About: I have been on Rover for about 5 years now. I have taken care of multiple animals during my time. It brings me joy caring for animals. I will make sure your animal has the best time while your away :) I have grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life. I have two German Shepards at home that are full of energy and very playful. I feed them, pick up after them, and most importantly play! We also have a small multipoo dog in our home as well. Being surrounded by dogs my whole life has made me feel very comfortable around them. My old housemate had a cat that loved to play with toys. He cuddled with you but only when he wants (but I’ll take it). He was a very friendly cat. I just love animals and nurturing a comfortable environment for them to be in. I took a break from Rover but I am happy to be back! My schedule is open and I am committed to your needs. I can be flexible if needed! When visiting a client's home, I will ensure that their pet is well taken care of with all their needs met. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and treated like family. I am very careful of any special instructions, medications, or routines and follow them closely. Your home will be left exactly as I found it!!

“Alexander came for a first solo walk with our 65 lb dog-reactive girl, and reported that everything went well! We were sent a lot of great pictures. At the meet-and-greet, Alexander really listened and absorbed all the mitigation strategies that we have for the leash reactivity (even taking notes!). Thank you, Alexander!”

“Chloe took great care of our pup for an extended period of time while we were travelling. She dealt with some unexpected situations and even did some training with him.”

Dragos S.

“Susan was professional and kind to my dog. She asked the right questions and my pup was happy after she met her and her walk. I also love the pictures she took today.”

Bevin H.

“Amazing dog walker, my dogs love him”

Zach T.

“Katlyn was wonderful and our Golden was so happy with her. She was punctual and communicated clearly with us. Our Golden is large and she handled him so well. We will definitely hire her in the future!”

Arianna G.

“I really appreciated Chloe coming last minute to walk Mazie! She was loving & present.”

Jeanne H.

“Jourdan was great! We had a few snafus- between my own mistake and dogs behavior and she handled it all in stride! I’d highly recommend Jourdan.”
