“I recently hired Kerry as a dog walker for my Evan, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Kerry is incredibly reliable and professional. She also provides regular updates and is very communicative, which gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently live with four of my own, so I truly understand multi-dog households, routines, and different personalities. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and reliable. During drop-in visits, I focus on safety, enrichment, and clear communication so you feel confident every time you’re away. I work at a campground, so my schedule varies by season, but I plan in advance and communicate clearly. I focus on drop-in visits and short check-ins in your home, and I’m reliable about timing, updates, and following your pet’s routine. I care for pets in your home exactly as instructed, keeping their environment safe, clean, and consistent. I follow detailed routines for feeding, medication, and enrichment, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve helped take care of several dogs, mainly my grandpa’s dog ever since I was a kid. From walking, to feeding, to cuddling, I’m happy to help look after your pets while you’re away. I work full time during the school year (9-4) but have more free time on the weekends! I have full availability June - Mid August, so don’t hesitate to ask if it’s outside of my normal hours in summer! I try to treat my pets with the best care! I currently have two cats. They are regularly fed, played with and snuggled at home. I do my best to keep a clean litter box and clean up after pups.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats and horses. When I wasn’t caring for my furry family you would often see me at my neighbors helping with their horses and goats. Sadly I’ve cared for two of my own Labradors that had cancer so I have experience providing medication and I currently have two amazing older ragdoll cats who both receive medication for arthritis. I recently left the healthcare world to broaden my career with our furry family members. I have open availability and so excited to start this new adventure. My country gated community will provide safe and healthy walks. Your furry family member can enjoy the nature around this country home. You will often see my neighbors out walking their dogs or simply enjoying a country walk. There is a dog park in the works coming soon. I offer care in my home as well as your home. Whatever your needs are I’m happy to help care for your pet while you’re working or vacationing.

“Kate took excellent care of our fur babies while we were away! They loved her drop in visits and fall walks and the photos show just how much fun they were having. We'll definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Kristi did an excellent job with Bo! He was very excited to see her and had a fun walk with her and slept well after. :-) She did a great job at keeping me updated throughout the walk, and I was very pleased overall!”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! My family has always had multiple pets in our home at a time. I currently own a dog named Jax, and two cats named Milo and Lee! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I have taken care of puppies, blind/deaf dogs, big dogs who like to take you on a walk instead 😅, cuddly and energetic labs, shy dogs who may hide, and I love them all the same! I am a nanny, so I also take my part in loving and taking care of their animals in their home or when they may travel! As a pet mom myself, I understand how big of a decision it is to search and trust for someone to look after your fur baby. That’s why I will always focus on communication and providing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease and comfortable. All animals are family, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. When I come to your home, I promise to come with all the extra snuggles, belly rubs, or anything your pet may need to feel comfortable, keeping up with routines, required needs, and all different personalities. If your pet may need special medications, I also have experience with that area! I’m currently a college student, home full time for the summer! I go to a community college, so long term care is also available! Some hours may just change once I start again this Fall semester :) I care for each pet as if they were my own. My animals are my babies, my world, and I expect it is the same for all pet owners. You putting your trust in me to care for your babies means the world to me, and you won’t regret it! :)
About: I grew up on a farm in a small town in Ohio. I have experience with cows as well as cats, dogs, and even mice! I grew up mainly with cows, pet wolves, and a black lab. I have had a few cats over the years, and I currently have a Toy Fox Terrier named Zara! I am currently training Zara, so I have some experience in dog training and would be willing to help train for a little extra! I look forward to meeting you lovely parents of our 4-legged friends! I am currently a full time student and hoping to make pet-sitting my part-time job. I am available on weekends and most school days! I will provide more information on my schedule if you choose to work with me! I take great care to ensure that your pets are as comfortable as possible in my care! If you choose to hire me, I will have you write out specific instructions to ensure that I follow the same routines that your pet is used to!
About: I have house and dog sat for 6 years. I have also handled cats. I have handled anywhere from puppies to senior dogs and love to take them on walks! I work full time during the school year as a pediatric COTA but part time over the summer. My schedule varies but I am available for the most part! I just moved into my own home but I grew up with cats and have had a dog for 10 years. Feeding them and making sure running water was available was my number one priority!
About: Although it was many years ago, I was a pre-veterinary student, so I worked for a few different veterinarians for 6 years. During that time i also house sat and walked dogs for many of our clients. I have continued to keep up with my knowledge and can give you a recommendation from my current/personal vet. In recent years I have house sat for and walked dogs for friends and family, Unfortunately, I can't have dogs to my home due to my rescue kitty, but i love taking care of all animals. I would also love to house sit and take care of kitties. I have also volunteered for a therapy program working with horses and dogs for kids with disabilities for the past 5 years, so I'm extremely comfortable with large animals too! I don't have another job, so my schedule is very open. I do like to go home for at least 4 hrs when possible, but that is negotiable. My goal is to keep your pet on their normal schedule and I'm really good at that! I follow all instructions to the letter! I love giving snuggles and walks. I will take care of your home as if it's my own! I will bring in mail, water plants, take care of bird feeders etc... just ask!
About: I have had 7 pet dogs in my life, as well as 2 cats, 3 rabbits, and I have experience helping family friends with their animals from guinea pigs to cats and hamsters. I love and have a passion for animals, so why not let me help you take care of your pets? I have years of experience with my own pets, and I have recent (in the last 3 years) puppy experience! I helped train my dog Charlie, Teddie, as well as Addie! My current pups are all English Yellow Labrador Retrievers and I love them! I have no biases against any breeds ( even though Labradors are my personal favorite)! I’m excited to get to meet you and your pets! Please contact me with any questions you have. Let me help you love your pet! I currently work full time as a vet assistant at a vets office. I’m familiar with pet medications though I might not know all, it will not be hard to help care for your pet. Learning about their routine and keeping that as close to normal as possible is very important to me. It can be hard to have their family away and it is important that staying home is to help keep part of their routine normal, so to me keeping them on schedule and keeping there day as if you were there is important. Though I don’t live on my own so I’m not able to bring pets to my home I look forward to helping you with caring for your pets!
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and I truly have a passion for caring for them!

Therefore I can play with them, give them breaks in their crates or anything else!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 868 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Salem. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Salem.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Salem. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
