“Randy has been wonderful. Charly needed a true dog person who could read his body language and facial expressions. Randy was spot on and worked great with him from the start. He worked off of Charly's energy and let Charly come to him when he was ready. We had 3 meet and greets with a dog that has been historically difficult to find sitters for and now for the first time we have someone we feel really safe with.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I really enjoy taking care of my own and my family and friends’ pets. I connect with animals easily and feel good in their presence. I am currently taking care of my aging dog Bilka. I’m not teaching during the summer months and have a lot of availability in July and August. I can pet sit on weekdays and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard where my dog can roam around. My cat does not go outside but has comfortable spaces in the house to sleep or watch what happens outside through the windows. I will follow your safety rules to keep your pet safe and well.
About: I have worked at a doggie daycare. I also grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. My parents have two dogs and two cats, and I have a cat. I am a college student with lots of breaks in my schedule to check in on pets or take them for walks. I also have a part-time job in the afternoon, but it is only 1 day a week and every other weekend. I would listen to the client's rules on how to take care of their pet(s). Depending on what the client wants I would do my best to accommodate their needs.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have taken care of them since I was young! I love them way more than people. I am counting down till I can have my own little pack of dogs. I’m used to dogs that pull on leashes, but it’s a plus when they’re an easy walker :) I currently am in college so whenever I don’t have classes I am completely free! Once a month for one weekend I work on a military base, but other than that I would love to spend my time with a pup! I am willing to do whatever to keep your dog’s routine normal. I am used to crate training, routine dog walks, etc. No judgement from me :)
About: Hi there:) My name is Chilynn!! I am a HUGE animal lover, I currently own goats, a dog and a cat. Over the years I’ve had all sorts of little critters, so I have lots of experience with just about everything! I just moved into my own apartment, and have lots of time on my hands to be there and help out!! A little about me: I am very active and love to be on the go!! I enjoy hiking, swimming, traveling, shopping, spending time outside, cooking, and much more!! I have lots of time to help with extra things around the house, bathing the dog, picking up dog food, extra cleaning, watering plants or any other special request you may have! I would love to do a meet and greet before booking!! I love to get to know the pups, and you a bit more before the sit. We can go over information then. I will be sure to treat your animals like my own!! Cannot wait to meet everyone!! If you have any following questions please feel free to reach out :) I am always free, so i am available to do what ever whenever!! I love to go on walks or just be outside and active, and would love for them to join me:) I have a vehicle if anything were to come up and we needed to get somewhere, I always put the animals first and am always thinking a few steps ahead! You can trust me when it comes to the care of your babies!
“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 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.
“Ashlyn was very affectionate with our pet. Even though it was the first time with her our kitty seemed relaxed and comfortable during Ashyln’s drop in visits. We received detailed updates along with pictures that made me feel connected with our pet even though we were far away. Meeting Ashlyn the first time for the meet and greet itself felt good and made me feel confident that our cat would be well cared for. We are so happy to have Ashlyn care for our cat and wouldn’t hesitate to hire Ashlyn again!”
“Addie was wonderful. Very prompt and responsive in our communications. And I loved that she sent us a picture of Bandit letting us know that things went well. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I've had pets my whole life and have had kittens, puppies, cats, dogs, and animals outdoors. I've always had a heart for animals and am the type of person to save stray animals whenever I see them. I have experience caring for others animals and volunteer at the animals shelters from time to time. I'm currently a college student with a part time job!! Although that takes up quite a bit of my schedule, I still have plenty of free time to help care for your fur babies. I'm a very well organized person with a flexible schedule and can make nearly everything work out. Weekends, holidays, weeks long, or just a few days, you name it, I'll be there! I would say I'm a very responsible and organized person! I will care for your pets as if they're my own because I understand how much they mean to you. Your pets will be in safe hands!
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.
“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 to leave town unexpectedly and needed someone to care for our cat, Tasha. Madisynn was a lifesaver! Everything from start to finish was fantastic. The communication with Madisynn was always prompt and we never felt out of the loop. She is warm, professional, and one can tell that she truly cares for the animals she watches. We will definitely go with Madisynn again in the future!”
“Lindsay gets a 5 star rating from us! She was great with out two kitties! She took the time to try and get to know them and learn their habits. She was in daily contact with us sending pictures and notes about each visit. We would feel very comfortable hiring her again!”
About: I’m a speech language pathologist at a school and love all animals! I would love to help you and your furry friends out! I rescued my own dog 4 years ago and obtained skills such as basic knowledge of animal behaviors, basic animal first aid, communication, and reliability. I love to work out, read, and spend time outside. I work Monday-Thursday 7:30-3:30 pm and Friday from 8-3. I could stop by in the morning or after I work. I am willing to work around my schedule, as well as yours :) My weekends are always free and would love to dog-sit/cat-sit! I have a fenced-in backyard and 1 dog at home! All rules for your animals will be applied when I am taking care of them. I understand how important routine is!
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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Salem stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
