Dog Walking West Salem

About: I have always loved animals and taking care of them. I have had my two dogs for 13 years and sadly, one of them passed away recently. I had other pets before that as well. I frequently watch, feed, play with, walk, and let out other people’s dogs and care for their cats. I cherish my time with animals, and I will treat your pet like my own by giving them the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working 3 days a week. 7am-5:15 pm on Tuesdays, 12pm-5pm on Wednesdays, and 7am-about 4:45pm on Thursdays. I do get an hour for lunch, so I can swing over to the house for your pet if they can’t be alone all day. Unfortunately, my landlord only allows pets that are okayed by them, so I cannot have your pet at my house. But I can come to you and care for your pet(s). With pet sitting in your home, I can spend the night there or do nighttime care and morning care. I can also come multiple times a day and potentially stay all day on the weekend.

“We recently started working with Monica to check in and walk our new pup, Ember and we couldn’t be happier. From the very first visit, she was patient, kind, and clearly experienced with young dogs. Our pup warmed up right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. They provide great updates after each walk, and it’s clear she pays attention to both exercise and training needs. We’ve already noticed our pup building confidence and settling into a routine. Reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring—we’re so grateful to have found her! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a walker who treats your dog like their own.”

“I just love this human for my pup!!!!! My pup LuCee is a very picky girl. On the meet and greet LuCee fell in love with Christine!! I could tell immediately it was a great fit. I was given details of Christine's visit and can rest assured LuCee is good to go till I get home. Having such an amazing person take care of my fur kiddo is priceless and gives me the peace of mind I need so I can finish my day!!! I appreciate Christine's phenomenal service!!!”

About: Hi all! I’m one of those, I love animals more than people types. (No offense to any of you) ☺️ I ugly cry when I see an animal get hurt on TV or in the movies. My mom told me that when I was younger, I used to feed all the ants on our patio bread and my most infamous rescues were saving a one-winged fly and rescuing a bee from drowning in a puddle. *proud moments for me* 😁 I have always had pets growing up, both dogs and cats and several other critters. I currently own 3 dogs that are rescues. I have fostered dogs plus taken care of my friend’s pets and I have experience with pets of all ages including senior and blind dogs as well. The reason I joined Rover is because I have a passion for not only helping animals but people as well. Thank you for taking your time to read this and please reach out if I can help! ❤️ 🐾 As of right now, I am free every day and I am willing to try work with your schedule. Please reach out if you have any specific questions. 🐾 At this time I am not currently caring for any pets in my home due to my three dogs but I also feel that it’s best for a pet to stay in their own home if at all possible. They are way more comfortable and happy in their own space plus it’s easier for them to stick to their normal routine at home. I prefer to go by their normal routine if at all possible. I will discuss specifics for each individual animal as we know they are all different and have their own unique personalities. Together we will find out what works best for both you and them. 🐾

About: I have dogsat ever since I can remember. I have a passion for taking care of animals, and I want nothing more for ever animal to be healthy and loved. I have six dogs, so I have tons of experience taking care of them. I am honest and reliable! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I promise to stop by as often as possible. I prioritize animal safety, so your dog will be let out either on a leash or in a fenced in area! I want what is best for them.

About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs since I was very young. I grew up with labs and I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I took care of my yellow lab/retriever mix, Blue, for so many years; taking her on long walks, giving her baths, making sure she got along with our neighbor dogs. I also helped out taking care of my neighbor dogs from time to time. After my dog died at the age of 15, my family didn't think we would get another dog. 7 years ago, we got a new puppy, his name is Brooks, and he is a yellow lab. He is very different than our old dog. He has lots of energy, he has ran away a couple times but always came back or we found him, and we lived on 2 acres of land so that helped. He is our first inside dog, so he loves cuddles, treats, sleeping, playing catch and sneaking downstairs where he is not supposed to be. I have lots of experience with dogs and I appreciate and love them very much! I am currently working at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, so I have the summer off. This summer I also work part-time at Festival. During the school year, I have Fridays off and I am done by 5:30pm the other days. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have slower mornings. I can help out throughout the day and on weekends. I live in an apartment building but there is an area with lots of grass and next to the building and around the area. My building doesn’t allow pets so I am not able to house pets at my place, but I can always talk to my landlord.

About: I have had my own dogs for about 9 years now! They are a golden doodle, a poodle, and a bernedoole! I have experience watching all kinds of dogs and would love to take care of yours! I work as a Nurse in the area so I work 2-3 times a week 12 hour shifts. Those days I wouldn’t be able to help, but am looking to help anyone on my days off! I currently have two dogs at home that I watch in a fenced yard! I have experience working with all kinds of dogs and am able to accommodate according to how you like raising your dogs!

About: Grew up on a farm with lots of cats and dogs. I have a 15-year-old border collie mix that can no longer go for long walks. Hoping for the opportunity to take some other pups on walks too! I work as a nurse, so I am more than willing to administer medications and injections. Being that I have an elderly dog myself, I am no stranger to senior care or special needs. I currently work as a nurse full-time, but I am available after 5 pm to help with taking your dog out or checking in on your kitty. I am available most weekends as well. I cannot offer pet boarding, but I am willing to check in on your furry family members! I am always willing to lend a hand when life gets busy. Although my background is in human care, I can administer CPR, medications, and injections. Just let me know!

“Kayla is great. Our dog took to her immediately. We like how responsible Kayla is. We can depend on her and know our pets are being cared for!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have cared for all kinds, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My family has always been full of pet lovers and our home has always welcomed animals of all shapes and sizes. Growing up,I learned how to care for pets kindly, patiently, and responsibly. I currently have a cat of my own, and she truly is my pride and joy. I also regularly care for the pets of friends, coworkers, and family members when they’re out of town or need extra help. I’m a huge animal lover and have a very soft spot for pets. I truly care deeply about their well-being. I’m especially attentive to making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I would love to provide that same level of care and peace of mind for you and your pets! I work full-time, but have the option to work from home whenever needed, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m especially available after 4 PM, but I’m happy to make other times work as well. I can bring my work computer with me if needed and take breaks as I please, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any special needs they may have. My home is calm, clean, and pet friendly. I make sure doors and windows are secured, remove any potential hazards, and provide plenty of space for pets to relax and feel at home. I’m very attentive during walks and outings and always use leashes, unless otherwise instructed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and worked hard to build trust so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12-13. My family, friends and neighbors have all had good experiences when I have taken care of their animals and I am always reliable. I am currently a student at UWL and my main job varies with hours so I have a flexible schedule on taking care of dogs and cats! I am enrolled in online summer courses but they are at my own pace which allows for more availability! I always make sure that dogs/cats that I am taking care of are out for the right period of time to ensure all their energy is out. I make sure to clean up any messes and ensure that the dogs/cats are well taken care of.

About: I have worked with various rescue organizations for over 10 years as a foster home for dogs and board member. I foster mainly working breeds with behavioral issues, including dog aggression, separation anxiety, and resource guarding so that they may be more adoptable. I also have experience working in a veterinary clinic and was a volunteer at our local humane society. I am comfortable giving meds and injections if needed. I currently work full time from home as a software engineer. I would be most interested in people that are looking for someone to come keep their dog company during the day, play with them, and relieve any separation anxiety they may have. I can work from any location with an internet connection. I would also be interested in anyone who needs boarding for their dog, preferably in my their home. I can also board cats. I have a separate room in my home away from the dog where they could relax. I live in the country on about an acre of land. I have a fenced yard as well as an ariel run. I have two girls, ages 17 and 14 that are dog and cat savy who would love to play with your pet. I have 2 German Shepherds of my own, both spayed and up to date on all vaccinations and flea and tick control. The older one is 14 and loves everyone. She likes to just chill, but will play for short periods of time. My younger shepherd is 5, and LOVES to run and play with other dogs. She loves fetch, chase, and tug with her rope. I have a cat who thinks he is a dog He likes to play with my young shepherd. He gets along fine with other cats and dogs.

About: I’ve cared for pets for years and love working with animals of all personalities. I’m reliable with routines, walks, feeding, and giving pets the right mix of play and comfort. I always treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently in high school and work part-time, but I still have plenty of availability for pet care. I’m free most evenings and weekends, and I’m good at planning ahead to make sure your pet gets consistent attention and care. I always make sure my schedule is reliable, so you can count on me to show up and take great care of your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I follow all instructions carefully, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets are never put in unsafe situations. I give updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own. You can trust that your pet will be safe, comfortable, and well-looked-after with me.
