About: I have worked with animals off and on my whole life. I’ve had four dogs growing up including my current dog. I do have experience with epilepsy since my current dog does have it. I can also help with basic training such as walking nicely on a leash. I am currently trying to find a new career so working with doggos in the meantime will help me in that journey. I am open for walks or checks in during the week, but can only do stayovers on the weekends. I unfortunately can not have pets at my current residence as it is my parents, but I am more than willing to multiple stops or even overnights for your pets. I will love and care for them as if they’re my own.
“Olivia was amazing. She took care of my 2 cats and made sure that Stormy, who is a bit shy ate every day even if it meant feeding him in weird spots. She gave Sunny plenty of attention! And towards the end I think even Stormy loved her!”
“Kiana was amazing during her drop in visits with our cats. She was able to get them to play and eat treats. She kept the litter boxes clean and the kitties happy. She even watered my plants! Kiana is a great communicator and I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I’ve been lucky to have such a wonderful soul pets. I’m also my church’s resident dogsitter, so I have a lot of experience with watching other people‘s pets. I also worked in the veterinary field, so am very comfortable around pets. I do have a dog of my own, but he loves everything and everyone he meets! I’m at home and have a lot of time to spend with your pet. I have a dog of my own who loves everything and everyone he meets, so will be a great friend to your dog. I also have a cat who will be indifferent! I haven’t on fenced yard, but I do have inground leashes. I have a dog of my own that will be a great friend to your dog, and a cat that will be indifferent, lol! I also have a crate if that is needed.
“Lauren was great with our dog. Our lab is older and I didn’t want to board him. She came into our house to feed, play, and let him out. She gave him lots of attention! She sent excellent notes and picture updates. We would definitely recommend Lauren!”
About: I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and cats, and I'm comfortable following each pet's routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away. I've cared for a puppy for over a week, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and keeping up with their daily schedule. I also have experience caring for adult dogs by providing walks, meals, exercise, and companionship. In addition, I've cared for cats by feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time with them throughout the day. When house sitting, I also take care of basic household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, taking out the trash, and helping keep your home tidy while you're away. I follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and I'm happy to send updates and photos so you know your pets and home are being well cared for. I work remotely Monday through Friday, typically from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. Because I'm home during the day, I can take breaks for walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime, and I can provide regular attention throughout the day. I'm available for pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking on both weekdays and weekends, and I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other care your pet is used to. I know every pet is different, so I'm happy to adjust to their needs and personality.
About: I have taken care of my own dog as well as taken family friends dogs on walks and runs. I am currently training for a half marathon, so if your dogs loves long runs or long walks I would love to help them get outside and exercise. I currently am working part time on top of school. Most days I can take dogs on a walk or run in the morning to later afternoon! I currently live in an apartment where pets are not allowed, so for now I will stick to taking dogs on walks and runs whether that’s around a safe neighborhood or at a park.
About: I’ve gotten a lot of practice in dog sitting with 2 different roommates I lived with who had dogs, whether it only be an overnight of caring for them or an entire trip’s worth time. And I really bonded with both dogs! I just love animals in general too and am looking forward to caring for more furry friends now that I don’t live with one anymore! Over the summer I work one part time job so I should have availability for visiting them either morning or evening or both. Sometimes I will have daytime availability as well. I enjoy a semi active lifestyle, so I would be very open to getting outdoors with your pet too! During the school year I work 2 jobs, so my flexibility may be a little more limited come fall, but I should still have some availability. Happy to try to work things out with scheduling! When I have lived with pets, I do like to provide them with lots of love and make sure I can balance my schedule to at least spend a little time with them each day. I make sure they are able to get outside and exercise if they and their owners wish.
“Linsie was great! Very communicative and thorough, and made sure to spend time with my two cats. As someone who was a Rover provider myself for a few years before this, I can say she ticked all the boxes!”
About: I have loved animals of all kinds and caring for them my whole life! Ranging from dogs of all breeds, cats, and even chickens! As a dog walker and pet sitter I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have 3 pups and 1 cat of my own. I have even had chickens for years! There isn’t a pet I wouldn’t feel comfortable watching. As a stay at home mom I have a completely open schedule and would love to help you whether that be daily walks with your furry friends, drops in for play time and snuggles, or even watching them at our home if you need some time away! I am comfortable administering medications and working on any commands you prefer while walking and dropping in. I like to schedule a meet and greet before any pet sitting or walking to go over any safety concerns, meet your pet and build trust. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! Send me a booking request and we can get some dates in the books whenever you need! I am a stay at home mom with unlimited availability! I am free for walks and drop in’s daily. As well as overnights on request (both cats and dogs) after a meet and greet with my animals as well! I have a half acre fenced in yard for your pups to play in! I have 3 pups of my own that LOVE to play and fetch and will get lots of energy out of your dog if they stay the night. I have crate space as well if your pup is crate trained!
About: I have had multiple pets. My first dog was a high energy Coonhound and I went to training lessons with him. I now own a Maltipoo, a chihuahua, and a cat. I also have experience babysitting my sisters senior pup. I work full-time during the week in healthcare. My job times can vary but I am typically available weekdays after 5pm. I am available most weekends. I care about keeping your house cleaner than I found it. I’ll make sure to take your pup out every couple hours to avoid any mess.
“We highly recommend Brandon for your dog sitting needs. He was thorough and truly cared about taking great care of our furry babies. We will always keep in in mind for upcoming dog sitting needs.”
“We had great communication from Tyonna that made me feel very secure our dogs were being well taken care of Real evidence of that is I have cameras in the hallway leading to the dogs sleeping areas. When the dogs start to come downstairs it triggers the camera but also records sounds. One recording my dog Lily was being called downstairs and you could hear from below how nicely and lovingly Lily was being called to come down to dinner and potty time”
About: I have had multiple dogs since I was born. They were of different sizes and breeds. I have also dog sat for multiple family friends. Work some on the weekends, but available all throughout the week. I work 8 hour shifts on the weekends so I will care for your pets right before and after my shift. I have my own very sturdy dog leash that I can use if you don’t have one. I also have a vehicle so I’m able to drive to different places.
About: I have pet sat a handful of times for family and friends, and grew up surrounded by farm animals of all kinds! I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am an elementary teacher who has the summers off! I am currently available all hours of the day to care for your pets, whether that is giving snuggles or going for a walk! My fiancé and I have two kitties, both 1 year old, Clay and Aussie! We love to spoil them. They are highly exposed to other people, children, they travel in the car with us, and have been exposed to other animals! We have a fenced in yard where we take our kitties outside to explore. I’d love to care for your pets the same way we care for ours!
“We were relieved to see how much Amber cared for our pup while we were out of town! She did drop-in visits for us and was sure to give our pup lots of attention and love. We enjoyed getting updates including photos that showed how much our pup loved her.”
“Lindsay was beyond amazing, I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! She was very patient with my dog the first time she met her, and now they are the best of friends! She sent SO many adorable update photos and left sweet notes which made me feel reassured. This was my first time using a Rover sitter, and I plan on sticking with Lindsay for a long time to come!”

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Salem choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in West Salem with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 sitter.
