“Alyne is a very chill individual and undoubtedly a dog person. The minute my 3-yr-old Lab got out of the car, she ran straight to her. And, while my dog is friendly like many retrievers, she's usually pretty cautious w strangers. Also, her large, completely fenced-in yard was perfect for my dog, whose strong preference is to be outside. I will definitely re-book.”
“Puppers had a great visit with Karen! We are so grateful she took care of him during our trip- such a relief knowing he was having just as much of a vacation as we were. Already referred to a friend!”
“Caitlin did a wonderful job watching Rocky, our cavapoo puppy. Knowing this was our first time away from him, she was very reassuring and communicated with us via texts, pictures and videos throughout our stay. She was cheerfully accommodating of our changing schedule, and suggested a wonderful dog park when we picked him up for a visit. I definitely felt that Rocky was loved and cared for as part of the family during his stay with Caitlin, and would absolutely board Rocky with her again!”
“Otis had a great time with Caitlin and her family! She was really flexible and communicative, and sent us regular updates and pictures. We so appreciated having such a welcoming family to care for our pup!”
“Phoebe loved Andrea & Bob from the moment she met them! She made herself completely at home right from the start. We received plenty of updates and photos throughout her stay and could see how happy and well cared for she was. We've already tried to schedule another date with them!”
“I am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”
“Isabella was very kind, took care of our dogs, and kept us in the loop our whole week long trip with pictures. We are for sure going to try and book with her for all of our upcoming trips!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Karen! We just moved here and were so nervous to find a good sitter.. Right off the bat Karen was so gentle and kind with Goldie, sent tons of picture updates, was quick to respond, and I never once felt worried or anxious! Also her dog Juni is the sweetest dog on the planet :) even with their size difference Goldie and Juni became sweet friends!”
“Cindi sent great pics and regular updates. Clover got a lot of exercise, and adjusted well, and quickly to her first visit with Cindi. Was a great experience for all of us. We felt confident leaving her with Cindi.”
“Emily and Caroline are kind and reliable. They took care of our dog, Lily, as if she was their own. They were flexible with pickup and drop off times and we felt at ease knowing that Lily had someone in the house with her during the day since Emily works from home. Lily also had a great time with their dog, Goose, and she came back to us happy and all tired out from playing with him. We will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Kari was wonderful with Hazel. I could tell Hazel adjusted well and enjoyed her time with Kari and her family by the photos and updates Kari provided along the way. I would leave Hazel with Kari again knowing that she would be well cared for.”
“Would give 10 stars if I could! We needed a place for Ruby to stay for a full month. Chelsea was amazing during the entire process, she was super helpful in setting up Ruby’s stay. She was so flexible in scheduling time for us to visit Ruby during the month and great at communicating with us. Ruby LOVED staying at Chelsea’s and was actually really sad for a few days when we got home. Would absolutely book with Chelsea again, thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our girl! ??”
“Peter is the best. Pippa loves being with him and his family. His care, the outside time, running and playing, walks on the beach, and wading in the water is priceless. So grateful for the time Pippa spends with Peter. Every time I get a picture while I am away, I say “ what a lucky dog!” And she is!”
“My 2 year old Lab/Golden Cross had a great weekend with Julie, her dog Ellie and another client's puppy. It was a last minute booking request but she agreed to a meet & greet first. Julie's calm and loving demeanor as well as her beautiful and inviting home convinced me my dog would be in good care. And she was. Having another client's puppy to run around with was a bonus! Thank you, Julie!”
“Madaket watched our dog Cooper for a week, and was wonderful! She sent us photos each day showing the days activities which included going for walks, playing with her dog Bermuda, and just relaxing. When Cooper came home to us, he was relaxed and happy (unlike when he had been boarded elsewhere). Not only can we highly recommend Madaket to watch your pet, but we have already booked Cooper to be with her again for a couple more stays.”
“Our two Cavaliers had a great time staying with Maria! They arrived home happy, healthy and well socialized, have gone for plenty of walks and having lots of outdoor time. Will definitely ask her to watch our pups again!”
“Clare is absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond in every way and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals in her charge, and we came home to one very happy pup. We will 100% be booking with Clare again and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barnstable
I am so pleased with the care my cavapoo,Kirby, received from Katie and Jesse. He fit right in with their dog as they played, had a walk, and slept near each other. The family was loving and calm and their son was gentle and attentive to both dogs. The overnight stay was smooth with no mishaps or behavior issues. When we picked him up the next day, Kirby greeted us happy and tired. He watched his new friend as we drove away. I definitely will contact them again when we need doggy daycare or an overnight stay. It was a wonderful reassuring experience with others caring for our family member.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Barnstable sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Barnstable landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Barnstable home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
