“Ryan and Leah were amazing sitters for our pup Hammy. It wws our first time using Rover, so we weren’t sure what to expect but the experience with Ryan (and Leah) was so great, they took Hammy on walks through the woods, cuddled with him at home, and generally just took amazing care, with photos and updates throughout. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!!!!!!”
“Duck and Daffy loved their time at Julie’s! We’re so thankful to have found a reliable place on the Cape for them and will definitely have them stay with Julie again!”
“So happy to have left our Dog with Deb while away, she reached out to notify me she had a cancelation and could take out dog which really saved us in a pinch!!! Her house and yard were so much better for him than having to board in a typical crate/kennel setting!!! She obviously loves dogs and took great care of our dogs!!! She was flexible with us and we will definitely be using her again!!! Highly recommended!!”
“Our little guy Pepper had a great stay with Emily and Caroline! They were flexible and happy to accommodate whatever was needed. Quick to communicate and they sent us updates and pictures throughout the week. They have a fenced yard that was perfect for Pepper to play outside. Definitely recommend, thank you both!”
“Where do I start. this is the 1st time we have used a pet sitter for our dog Delilah. Madaket was our chosen one. Right from the start she was accomandating and helpful. We had to change our drop off plans my son had to drop her off.She stayed intouch with us through our trip,sending pictures and assuring us that Delilah was cared for and happy. Which took a huge weight off our shoulders. Unfortunatly I ended up getting very sick the day before we came home and was admitted to the hospital. We ask if we could extend Delilahs stay. Madaket did not hesitate to accommodate us. She was able to modify our booking for us immediatly. Delilah came back to us happy and exhausted, the way we like it. I cannot say enough Thanks to her in our emergency. She will be my go to sitter from now on.”
“Kaedy, my Jack Russell terrier stayed with Mike for a couple days and had a great time. He kept me updated with pictures and texts. Got back to me quickly with answers to my questions. Will definitely board her there again.”
“Jacquelyn was amazing! We traveled from Florida and she was able to watch our puppy while we attended a wedding. Our puppy played hard with some other dogs and had an amazing time! Picture and video updates were greatly appreciated. Would recommended to anyone!”
“Melissa was wonderful with my dog Ella. She kept me updated with pictures and notes every day. Ella looked very happy in all the pictures around the house and during walks. I was happy that her dog and two cats got along very well with Ella. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Zuzana was the perfect pet sitter for our miniature poodle, Charly. She communicated quickly and from the very beginning provided a welcoming environment for Charly. Thanks to the photos and videos she sent, we were able to rest assured Charly was in good hands. We hope Zuzana will be available the next time we look for a sitter. Thanks!”

We have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and routines. As a couple, we’re able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, and overnight care. Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. We are generally busy during the weekdays, but we have plenty of availability from Friday through Monday.

We want every dog staying with us to feel like they’re at a second home. We provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities for walks and relaxation. We will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and other preferences.

About: I love spending time with animals and I am caring and understanding. I can cuddle with your pet if it seems like it's missing its owners! I am a senior at the College of Charleston and looking to do something I love during my free time and help those of you who needs a dog walker or sitter! I am able to care for your pets in my home. I live in an apartment on king street which is a very safe and friendly environment for taking them on walks and bathroom breaks when needed!
“Tim provided a calm and safe environment for our dog while we were at a family event. He is laid back but made us immediately feel like he would treat our pet as he does his own pet. His dog is a very mellow black lab and the two got along very well. Lady didn't want to get in the car to come home with us!! 😢. It took overnight for her to not be mad at us We feel very lucky to have met Tim on Rover and will definitely contact him this way when we travel again.”
“Gabby and her family were amazing at taking care of Luna. They were so nice, responsive, and accommodating to Luna that we really appreciate. Luna left a happy girl with a chewing toy as well! Highly recommend!”
“Jen and her family took excellent care of our dog while he was staying with them. She took him for walks, played frisbee and let him run with her dog all day long. Our lab loved it there! They were very friendly, sent lots of pictures and were easy to coordinate pick up and drop off with. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely be boarding our dog with her again. She was wonderful!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barnstable
Outstanding!! Pupper is a fairly shy, quiet little dog, but he immediately took to Isabella -- she absolutely "gets" dogs. Her home is very well set up for dogs, with cozy beds, generous water bowls, and pup blankets on the sofa. The many photos she sent me during Pupper's stay showed me that he was completely happy and comfortable, either in her arms or lounging in a dog bed, keeping an eye on the kitchen. :) Isabella is a treasure and I highly recommend!

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Barnstable home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Barnstable.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Barnstable sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
