“Danielle really came through for me at the last minute, I'm so grateful! She was very kind and attentive with my dog, Esther, sending adorable pics and updates. Esther is an anxious girl, but she seemed to relax in Danielle's home, it really put me at ease. Thank you again!”
“Diana cared for our 16 yr dog for a week. She is an excellent communicator and professional. Her home has plenty of outdoor space for him to roam free. She sent regular updates and pictures. She also is a groomer. Our pup is afraid of anyone who tries to groom him and hates water. Despite these obstacles she managed to give him a nice trim. I highly recommend Diana and will certainly hire her again!”
“my dogs loved their stay during the visit. I think I was more nervous than my dogs being that this is the first time they’ve ever been boarded anywhere I was sent pictures all throughout their stay and my puppy Oliver really opened up while he was there. Before going to boarding he was much more shy with people and other dogs and being boarded really helped him with socialization. My other dog cinnamon is super social so I wasn’t really worried about her. She gets along with all dogs and people so I’m really thankful that I boarded them. They had the time of their lives.”
“Tania was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous leaving my puppy overnight, but she made me feel completely at ease. She asked thoughtful questions, kept me updated with pics/videos, and took such great care of Nala. You can tell she genuinely cares—she set the bar HIGH. I’ll definitely be booking with Tania again and highly recommend her, especially for first-time Rover users! 🐾💕”
“She took wonderful care of my dog, who can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, and handled her with patience and kindness. I received many photos showing my dog happy, comfortable, and enjoying time with her loving family, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was being treated like part of the family, not just being watched. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to care for their pet.”
“This is the second time we’ve left Nalu with her for a long period of time. She communicates well and sends videos and pictures throughout the stay! He came home so happy and I was at peace knowing he was well taken care of!”
“Michael was great! He was very kind, and gave me status updates. He treated my dog like part of the family. I would recommend him to everyone and will be using his services in the future whenever he is available.”
“Dave and Daniel were wonderful with our Pomeranian Skyla. She’s animated and spirited, some might say a strong personality. She often, perhaps too often, wants her own way, but apparently Dave and Daniel were able to deal with this, and all parties seemed to have a great experience. What we do know for sure is that our little girl came home healthy and happy. What more can you ask for? We couldn’t be more pleased. We will definitely be bringing her back to her home away from home.”
“Nicole is amazing! Always very flexible and quick responses. We have done two overnights, one being only 2 days and the other was 8 days. Both times we dropped off and picked up our puppy he was clearly very happy to be there and didn't want to leave. She even did wonders with the crate training we have been working on.”
“I’ve boarded my pup twice with Jade, and I don’t have enough words to describe how wonderful it’s been! Jade takes care of my pup’s needs in a loving, sensitive and fun way. I felt calm and trusting throughout my time away, receiving consistent updates of how she’s doing. I highly recommend boarding with Jade and will definitely book her again on our next trip.”
“Gayle is the absolute best! She sends lots of update, pictures and videos and is very flexible with owner’s needs. My dog is so excited to see Gayle and her dog Sitka, he just runs in her house, he doesn’t even look back to say bye to me 😢🤩😊.”
“We were so concerned about finding the right sitter for Jinx. Zuri was fantastic though! Jinx got to make some new furry friends, and Zuri sent so many videos and picture updates! By the end of the first night, I knew we had made a good choice! Thank you Zuri, for being such a good sitter for our big spoiled fur baby!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Angelica and Bruce were lovely and looked after Sadie with exceptional care - not sure my dog wanted to come home! They have a well-thought care plan, sent updates, and easily adjusted to my schedule. Sadie’s new home away from home!”
“My beagle stayed with Madlin for 4 days, had an issue with another arrangement while I was out of town and Madlin was able to handle everything (picked up my dog and helped both my beagle's stress and my own with great communication). She was a life saver for me and my dog loved her, would recommend her to anyone in the Salem area.”
“Mickenzie was very quick to respond and book Miss Moose on short notice. She also sent me a few update pictures and let me know how she was settling in. Moose was in good hands with other dogs to play with and cats to hang out with (her dream situation). Overall I appreciated Mickenzie’s service and communication!”
“Philly was wonderful with our pup. He was patient and caring towards him as well as met our anxious needs with calm and understanding. We are so happy with Leo’s care and will be booking with Philly again in the future!”
“This was our first time boarding Ginny with someone who wasn’t family or close friends, so I was definitely nervous. Dezarae was so great and sent daily updates with photos and videos without us having to ask, which meant a lot. Ginny can have some separation anxiety with me and my partner, but the consistent updates (and little details about how she was doing, especially with crate time) really helped ease my mind. Ginny clearly had the best time. She got comfortable with Dezarae’s dogs quickly and loved being part of their routine. We also booked pretty last minute and she was very flexible and accommodating. Ginny came home happily exhausted in the best way. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Daisy had a great stay! She looked happy in all of the update pictures. She handled her medications for me and her special food needs. Daisy was calm and happy on the way home after her stay. Will definitely use her again.”

“Kayla is the most amazing, dedicated, and understanding sitter. It's so clear that she cares deeply about the welfare of the animals she works with. She's highly communicative and professional, and a joy to work with. I will be hiring her again!”
“Alexis went above and beyond to take care of my cat and even took out the trash for me since I was gone for trash day. She was so nice and professional and made sure my vacation was worry free.”
“It was so great having Emese come check-in on our cats while we were away for a few days. She was very attentive, helpful, and communicative during her visits. Would love to book her again in the future!”
About: I really love getting to know each cat’s personality. Some cats are playful and social, some are shy and independent, and I’m happy to go at their pace. I have my own cat, Mango, so I’m very used to daily cat care like feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats, and paying attention to little changes in behavior. I’m patient, gentle, and truly enjoy making cats feel safe and comfortable while their people are away.
About: I've taken care of several types of dogs. Growing up we had a chihuahua and I was responsible for feeding, bathing, and I played a lot with him. I also pet sit my friends two labradoodles and was responsible for feeding, playing, and just watching the house for most of the day. I also had a cat and was responsible for feeding, bathing, cleaning litter, and helping apply ear mite medicine when she had them. I'm currently working part time as an instructional assistant through edustaff so my schedule fluctuates depending on when I can get myself scheduled to work. I have always cared for my pets so that they feel safe and loved. I make sure that the pets are happy and feel able to play.
About: I have grown up caring for all kinds of animals. I have the most experience with dogs, and small animals. Most of my family pets I provided main care for. Because of this I have grown a stronger sense of patience for pets, and have learned what will help them be more successful in their day as well as mine. I still am happy to learn more about the pets individual personality, and earning their trust. Though it is not my main career path it is something I am very passionate about. I volunteered at humane societies in my past free time. Though it is not something I can continue, I hope to make up for it by working with other pet owners. Thank you I currently work from home, though it is a part time job. Walks can be done 24/7 for whatever the pet may find necessary. Pets are considered in every part of the day from walks to the trash bins and fetching mail, to meal times and what is comfortable and safe. Born and raised in here in Salem, OR. My home is in a park filled neighborhood, with many walkable paths! A large, shade filled backyard.
About: Extensive experience in puppy care and senior/special needs animal care spans several years. I have supervised the upbringing and development of puppies, including providing assistance with medication administration and potty training. Additionally, I have supported the medication regimen and physical therapy for senior and special needs dogs. My overall experience in puppy/dog care spans seven years, and I have had dogs as companions throughout my life. Currently working Monday - Friday, free after 3:30 weekdays for boarding of sitting in the evenings. Weekends open all day for boarding or sitting as well. Pet care fits well into current schedule with our own dogs; scheduled activities during the week but open for adventures on the weekend. Large backyard on a quiet street; lots of room for walks to local parks or fetch in the yard. House is stair free for elderly or dogs with medical restrictions. Adaptable to any situation as needed!
About: Hello! I am an experienced dog trainer and currently own my own dog training business. I’m a force free, fear free dog trainer, and have over 500 hours of behavior modification experience. I can take anything from the most friendly puppy to a fearful pup who needs time and care to adjust. I’m certified and only use the most up to date modern training techniques! I am on the board of a local rescue and a behavior consultant for a cattle dog rescue and regularly foster when I have an open space. I live on a half acre, fully fenced, and have a mother-in-law suite, fully furnished and temperature controlled. I do have dogs of my own, but do have the ability to separate my guests if they’re not so keen on other dogs. I have a soft spot for shy or fearful dogs looking to build their confidence or a working breed dog looking for a mental outlet through games and play. I’d love the opportunity to take your dog on a walk, sniffari, dog parkour, or whatever the day brings us. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions! I own my own dog training business so I’m in and out of the house nearly all day. I have the ability to stop in and let the dogs out, go on an adventure, etc every 2-3 hours during the day and have relatively free weekends and evenings that I use to spend with my dogs in my care. I live in a house surrounded by farmland, which makes a great environment for nearly any dog. I live on a half acre, fully fenced, with lots of toys and activities. I also have a mother-in-law suite that’s fully furnished (even with a tv with Netflix) and temperature controlled. I provide a fear free environment and take greetings at the dog’s pace. They can be completely separate from my dogs, or we can integrate everyone if your dog is dog friendly.
“Benjamin did an amazing job taking care of my 18-year-old cat Buster. He went over and above with his care of Buster , who needs medication for thyroid twice a day. He spent time with him, sent me lots of pictures and kept me up-to-date with everything that was happening. I recommend him without any hesitation at all. Thank you, Benjamin.”
About: I specialize in caring for senior, sensitive, and formerly stray cats. I understand how important routine, consistency, and a calm environment are, and I prioritize communication and detailed updates so you feel completely at ease.
“Thank you Kerri for watching Poppy and Cali while we were away! We are very happy with the visits you provided and felt very comfortable on vacation knowing you were there to watch after the fur babies. Thanks again and we hope you'll be available for future vacation!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 5 years and have hands-on experience with large breeds, working dogs, reactive dogs, and high-energy personalities. I currently own German Shepherds as well as two chinchillas, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, structure, enrichment, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m comfortable with crate routines, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, long walks, litter box care, feeding routines, and reading animal body language. My professional background in high-stress environments has also made me calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own.
About: I had a reactive dog who was not a fan of other dogs or animals so I know how to avoid other pets on walks to keep everyone safe and happy. I am responsible and have a lot of free time to give your pets the time and attention they need. I just recently had to put my dog down so I am looking to fill that empty void he has left in my life. I currently am unemployed and have lots of free time to take care of your pets! I am available any day or time to help you out. I have a fenced in yard and a single story house in a quiet neighborhood. Dogs will have free rein of my house and are allowed on the couch and bed.

“Jennifer was so amazing to take my little girl in last minute on the 4th of July. My fiancé and I were visiting the area and needed a last minute sitter so we could enjoy some sights that dogs couldn’t join. I love my Elsa so much and was very nervous about leaving her but Jennifer kept me up to date with photos and everything! I am grateful she was available and willing to take her last minute. Thanks again so so much Jennifer!!”
“I have a Great Dane puppy that has stayed with Laura and her husband several times and they have always taken excellent care of him. Laura always sends me pictures pictures during his stay. They have a labrador named Riley, and my puppy just loves him to pieces. I am leaving the country for a week next month and my puppy will be boarded with Laura. I have ZERO concerns leaving him there as I know he will be in great hands. If you need a sitter or a place to board your dog, I highly, highly recommend them! ”
About: Ever since a child I have had an undeniable bond with animals. I’ve worked with all types, birds, horses, dogs, cats, livestock, exotic animals, you name it. Growing up my family was always pet people and they’d say I’m more of a pet person than them all! As a previous rancher, I have tons of experience with medications, veterinary care, and pet care for all species. As an entrepreneur I have all the time in the world for my pets and yours! My schedule is almost always free and ready for you! I own a beautiful 6 year old working line German shepherd, so I specialize in high-energy and protective breeds. I understand their drive, structure, and need for leadership. My goal is to keep your dog mentally fulfilled, exercised, and emotionally secure while maintaining the training and routine you’ve built. I also have experience with low energy dogs, training puppies, and even whelping litters! Pet care is my full-time job, so I have a very flexible schedule and can provide consistent attention and care. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week, including weekends, with plenty of time for play, exercise, and companionship. I focus on personalized, attentive care in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I maintain your pet’s routine, monitor behavior and health, and provide mental and physical enrichment. Owners receive regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind.
“Diana D. was so accommodating to take my little Harley at such short notice. When I came back to pick him up she shared with me some simple ways to help him feel more confident. Diana sent pictures throughout the day as well, which helped me get the a long meeting. Thank you again Diana.”
“This was my first time using Tawyna & John P "Clay" for doggy day care, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Clay was professional from the start and always prompt in responding to my questions, which I really appreciated. When we arrived, he took the time to give me a tour and patiently answered all of my questions. The multiple levels of fenced kennel runs with bark chips were very well done, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing that both of my Weimaraners were safe and secure. Most importantly, my dogs had a great time! They came home happy and happily worn out at the end of the day, which says everything. I’m so thankful for the care Clay provided and would absolutely recommend him to others looking for a safe, well-run place for their dogs.”
“Best day ever . Shes a great sitter and he had so much fun . He's only four months old 70 lbs, never been around other dogs and she was able to get him acquainted and He made new friends, and she was definitely capable of handling a new excited Dog, meeting other dogs. If I ever come up here again, I will be using her every time.”
“This was a last minute booking and Kyra was so helpful getting the booking correct for me. We have used her multiple times and always appreciate her professionalism and care of Leilani!”
About: I have experience with working breeds, hunting breeds and high energy breeds! I enjoy taking dogs out for exercise & training just as much as cuddles! Dogs have always been apart of my life and family! I’m currently working from home, so I have all day to tend to dogs and puppies. I have the time to take you pup for walks, runs, hiking and the dog park. I can pick up and drop off you pup, for an extra fee. I can provide exercise for your pup such as runs, hikes, playing fetch, and much more! I have a big unfenced area around my home and I’m conveniently 10 minutes from safe wooded areas for hikes. I have a 5 year old sweet, playful GSP to keep your fur baby busy/company. He is neutered & gets along with all dogs, he’s very submissive! No humping from him. I also allow dogs on the couch and bed. I have two dog beds. I will be home pretty much all day so I have ample time to tend to your dog!
“Gayle was so good with our girls. She helped them get through their nerves upon our departure and was wonderful throughout the even after some displays of poor manners early on. She sent pictures and updates that kept our minds at ease. Her setup is great for the dogs and they made themselves comfortable. Can't say enough great about her!”
About: I’ve owned cats all my life, and a few dogs. I have experience volunteering at a local animal shelter, working with both cats and dogs when I was younger . I have a 4H background as well. We adopted our dog Frida 2 years ago. I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom with a flexible schedule. We are home often and already own a dog. It's not much more work to add one or two into the mix. My kids love dogs and enjoy meeting new ones. We all love that owning dogs helps us to be outside more, either playing with the dogs or taking them on walks. My three children adore dogs and cats, and will give lots of love and attention. We live near parks and have a great neighborhood for walks. Dogs are allowed to free range of the house and fenced yard. They are allowed on the couches.
“We used Zuri for a daysitting. She was excellent with our 4 month puppy who has separation anxiety. She sent us pics and videos throughout the day to let us know our puppy was doing great. We will definitely plan to use Zuri in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“Tess was available with short notice. She was able to wrangle my energetic dogs through their first babysitting experience. They were with her for a couple of hours and were extremely comfortable. Thanks, Tess!”
“I used Maylie for day boarding and some overnights for just over a month straight. I have two dogs and they LOVED hanging out with her. She was great at communicating and checking in about things she wasn't sure about my particular dogs and I could always reach her to check in! I would absolutely use her again if I needed to board my dogs”
“I scheduled a first visit to meet Shauna and make sure our pup was a good fit. Shauna is great at communicating. She messaged prior to the visit to confirm, and helped me understand the process when I booked. My pup was still a bit nervous, so I didn’t leave her there, but Shauna was very kind, and tried to help her feel comfortable.”
“Another great experience with Destiny and her family! We booked last minute for day care and Destiny was flexible and understanding. And most importantly, she takes great care of our dog. So glad we found her and I highly recommend her!”
About: Know what it's like to own dogs since childhood. Tell me what they love, like, and hate. Love to bring gifts for the dog(s) anytime. Also been a great house sitter and pet sitter for my mother in the past when she visited grandkids for a week in California. As far in advance as possible since I also do crowd management seasonally but haven't worked since April 1st. P.S. A page from the daily calendar for Life Hacks encouraged me to join and I do know someone on Rover.com named Stephen. He's a dog sitter, owner, and trainer. I live in a condo on the ground level with a patio and a view of Mill Creek. I'd prefer to house and/or pet watch at your place.

There is no such thing as to much love! I am very communicative and responsive. You will receive daily updates and photos. We will have so much fun, they will forget you’re gone!
“Kayla was amazing! She walked both of our schnauzers and learned their individual personalities immediately. One of my dogs was sick when I left and Kayla was very communicative which relieved much of my stress. We will most definitely be using Kayla in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, from Mini Alaskan Eskimos to German Shepherds. I grew up around Golden Retrievers. I also have a lot of experience with cats. My other role is as a delivery driver, which allows me to have a flexible availability to care for your animals. I do what it takes to be fully committed to my agreements and responsibilities.

“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”
“Stacy is amazing!! I would recommend her to anyone. She took my puppy to the dog park for me and he warmed up to her quickly. Easy to communicate with and I will keep rebooking with her 😊”
“Thank you again Emese for the time you spend with Rosco. Always above and beyond. Thank you for the great communication as well. Have a wonderful holiday well book again after the holiday.”
About: I have taken care dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I am patient and engage with each pet at their speed. Building trust and respect are my top values when caring for pets. As a volunteer at the Oregon Humane Society, I understand the unique needs that each pet has and am eager to meet them. I work a part-time job with 6–8 hour shifts on select days. I keep my availability on Rover up to date and will always communicate in advance if a scheduling conflict arises. I’ve cared for pets in a variety of housing situations. I take my time to understand what precautions I can take to keep all pets safe.
About: I grew up on a farm and have spent 23 years loving all animals, caring for pets, farm companions, and learning how to provide each unique critter with the love they deserve. In the pictures above, you’ll find several of my beloved pets, clients, and animals I have had the fortune of meeting! I believe a passion for helping animals has made me into a highly empathetic individual who has a keen eye for understanding details in animals, allowing me to provide care that puts your pet first. I try to go beyond the basic necessities to help animals feel safe, happy, enriched, and loved, in your absence. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, kittens and seniors. I display an intermediate level of training, including how to reinforce actions that benefit your companion, as well as steer away/de-escalate unwanted habits. I will always advocate for your pet, especially around other animals. Ample cuddles as well!

Located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland. Questions? Shoot me a message! Communication is highly important to me and all messages will be responded to as quickly as I can.

I enjoy sending pictures and video updates of pets to owners throughout the day- feel free to ask for more (or less!) I do not offer my home for boarding. While in your home, whether it be drop-ins or stay-ins, I ensure utmost respect, cleanliness and privacy of your space and neighbors. I will follow your schedule, directions and pet needs with great care for detail. Communication is highly important to me and all phone calls and messages will be responded to quickly.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with cats, rabbits, hamsters, chicks, and ducks. Since 2018, I’ve raised a leash-reactive rescue dog, working through behavior training, crate training, and potty training. He’s now a well-adjusted senior, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet behavior, patience, and compassionate care. I’m currently pursuing my nursing degree and working while going to school. Reliable and consistent. I’m committed to providing dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care situation. While I prefer to care for pets in their own home to maintain their routine and reduce stress, I’m also able to welcome them into mine if needed. I have a securely fenced yard, a calm and friendly senior dog, and a clean, pet-friendly space where your fur baby will feel safe and loved. My goal is always to provide a nurturing environment that supports your pet’s well-being, whether in your home or mine.
About: I was born and raised on a ranch caring for many types of animals. I have extended my background from cows, horses and sheep to training, breeding and so much more with dogs. I am respectful, patient and have an overall love for every animal! I am currently a stay at home mom and looking for other work when I stumbled upon Rover. I love animals and am very excited at the chance to be around them more! I have a fenced yard and my own dog as well who gets along great with everyone. I have crates if needed and a park very close to run some energy out!
“I can’t say enough good things about Erin!!. From the very beginning, it’s been clear that she truly cares :) Not just about doing the job, but about Otis as an individual. You can tell she pays attention to his personality, his energy, and what he needs that day. Otis absolutely adores her, and as a dog parent, that means everything to me. I always feel at ease knowing he’s with someone who is kind, patient, and genuinely loving toward him. She goes above and beyond, and it shows in how happy and comfortable he is after every walk. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own and leads with kindness and care, I couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Kassandra walked my two labradoodles every other day for a week and they slept all week. A nice change of pace from having to walk them myself. She did great and they got to do zoomies together the last day. I will be booking her again when it gets cooler out in the fall.”
About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!
“Thank you, Natalia, for your wonderful help with my pup Cali! I appreciated your professionalism and meeting upfront to rehearse, and I continue appreciating your excellent results, and time getting my Cali into the park... so glad to come home to a smiling pup, your great photos make me smile every time, too. Natalia is an excellent choice, I am happy that we met!”
About: As a hiker and an athlete myself, I am more than happy to do longer walks, hikes, or even runs if that’s what your dog needs. I have spent pretty much my whole life owning dogs as well as volunteering at the local shelter and walking other dogs back home. I’m currently looking for a full time job, so my schedule is up in the air for now. Until that happens I’m pretty open on time, though! I have been heavily involved with my two dogs back home and am happy to walk, play ball, feed and take care of pretty much anything else you might need!
About: I’ve had dogs of my own and been around other’s dogs for my entire life! I’m very comfortable around all kinds of pets, and I really enjoy spending time with them. My goal is not to make money! it is a nice bonus but I’m mainly focused on meeting new furry friends and giving them the care they deserve. Plus, walks are a good way to stay active!! I’m currently a college student, but my schedule is very flexible. The only times I’m unavailable Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30-11:20 and 2:30-4:20. When taking care of your pet, I will be very respectful of your home; Only hanging where I need to be and leaving things better than I found them. Your pet will have my full attention for the visit and I’ll make sure they don’t get up to any silly business:)
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 5 years and have hands-on experience with large breeds, working dogs, reactive dogs, and high-energy personalities. I currently own German Shepherds as well as two chinchillas, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, structure, enrichment, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m comfortable with crate routines, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, long walks, litter box care, feeding routines, and reading animal body language. My professional background in high-stress environments has also made me calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m still able to provide dependable drop-in care and quality engagement for pets. I’m available for evening drop-in visits during the weekdays and can provide up to two visits per day on weekends. During visits, I focus on more than just feeding and potty breaks — I make sure pets receive attention, enrichment, playtime, affection, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m especially attentive to routines, behavioral cues, and making animals feel safe and relaxed in their home environment. Safety, structure, and trust are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I have experience with large breeds, reactive dogs, cats, and small animals, so I understand the importance of reading body language, respecting boundaries, and maintaining calm, controlled interactions. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, crate rotations, leash handling, and household rules. I prioritize secure handling during walks and visits, double-check doors, gates, harnesses, and crates, and always aim to create a calm and positive environment for pets. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to help owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

“my dogs loved their stay during the visit. I think I was more nervous than my dogs being that this is the first time they’ve ever been boarded anywhere I was sent pictures all throughout their stay and my puppy Oliver really opened up while he was there. Before going to boarding he was much more shy with people and other dogs and being boarded really helped him with socialization. My other dog cinnamon is super social so I wasn’t really worried about her. She gets along with all dogs and people so I’m really thankful that I boarded them. They had the time of their lives.”
“Tania was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous leaving my puppy overnight, but she made me feel completely at ease. She asked thoughtful questions, kept me updated with pics/videos, and took such great care of Nala. You can tell she genuinely cares—she set the bar HIGH. I’ll definitely be booking with Tania again and highly recommend her, especially for first-time Rover users! 🐾💕”
“She took wonderful care of my dog, who can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, and handled her with patience and kindness. I received many photos showing my dog happy, comfortable, and enjoying time with her loving family, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was being treated like part of the family, not just being watched. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to care for their pet.”
“Michael was great! He was very kind, and gave me status updates. He treated my dog like part of the family. I would recommend him to everyone and will be using his services in the future whenever he is available.”
“Nicole is amazing! Always very flexible and quick responses. We have done two overnights, one being only 2 days and the other was 8 days. Both times we dropped off and picked up our puppy he was clearly very happy to be there and didn't want to leave. She even did wonders with the crate training we have been working on.”
“I’ve boarded my pup twice with Jade, and I don’t have enough words to describe how wonderful it’s been! Jade takes care of my pup’s needs in a loving, sensitive and fun way. I felt calm and trusting throughout my time away, receiving consistent updates of how she’s doing. I highly recommend boarding with Jade and will definitely book her again on our next trip.”
“Gayle is the absolute best! She sends lots of update, pictures and videos and is very flexible with owner’s needs. My dog is so excited to see Gayle and her dog Sitka, he just runs in her house, he doesn’t even look back to say bye to me 😢🤩😊.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Angelica and Bruce were lovely and looked after Sadie with exceptional care - not sure my dog wanted to come home! They have a well-thought care plan, sent updates, and easily adjusted to my schedule. Sadie’s new home away from home!”
“My beagle stayed with Madlin for 4 days, had an issue with another arrangement while I was out of town and Madlin was able to handle everything (picked up my dog and helped both my beagle's stress and my own with great communication). She was a life saver for me and my dog loved her, would recommend her to anyone in the Salem area.”
“Mickenzie was very quick to respond and book Miss Moose on short notice. She also sent me a few update pictures and let me know how she was settling in. Moose was in good hands with other dogs to play with and cats to hang out with (her dream situation). Overall I appreciated Mickenzie’s service and communication!”
“Philly was wonderful with our pup. He was patient and caring towards him as well as met our anxious needs with calm and understanding. We are so happy with Leo’s care and will be booking with Philly again in the future!”
“This was our first time boarding Ginny with someone who wasn’t family or close friends, so I was definitely nervous. Dezarae was so great and sent daily updates with photos and videos without us having to ask, which meant a lot. Ginny can have some separation anxiety with me and my partner, but the consistent updates (and little details about how she was doing, especially with crate time) really helped ease my mind. Ginny clearly had the best time. She got comfortable with Dezarae’s dogs quickly and loved being part of their routine. We also booked pretty last minute and she was very flexible and accommodating. Ginny came home happily exhausted in the best way. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Daisy had a great stay! She looked happy in all of the update pictures. She handled her medications for me and her special food needs. Daisy was calm and happy on the way home after her stay. Will definitely use her again.”
“Five stars aren't enough for Christine! She watched our two dogs for a week and went above and beyond the entire time. She kept us updated with regular photos and check-ins, so we always knew our dogs were safe and having a great time. I never once felt anxious leaving them behind — and that peace of mind is priceless. We will absolutely be coming back to Christine every time we need a sitter. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Our dog always enjoys hanging out with Destiny and we appreciate having such a caring and reliable sitter for day care and overnight stays. I highly recommend Destiny and her family!”
“Steven and his partner were great with Parker (who can definitely be a handful at times) but they said he did awesome during his stay. Parker had so much fun with them and his two dogs Shasta and Jasper. They even took videos and photos for me to see how he was doing. Parker didn't want to leave he loved them and I'm sure he had so much fun while I was away. 10/10 recommend and will definitely use them again anytime I need a sitter for Parker in the future.”
“My wife and I were very blessed to find Arturo. Arturo and his family provided a very safe and loving environment for our fur baby (Piper-Jazz). From the moment they greated us we (including Piper-Jazz) felt entirely at peace. Knowing our fur baby was in safe and loving hands during our 10 day trip helped my wife and I to relax and enjoy our time together—what a great gift. We highly recommend Arturo and we rate him and his home a 10 out of 10. I think Piper-Jazz actually misses Arturo and his family. 😊 💯”
