“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!!!!!!!”
“Kari was absolutely amazing with my dog! Maisy received lots of love and attention with long walks, fun games, snuggle time, and belly rubs - all of it right by Kari’s side ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates along the way, this was a match made in heaven, we would love to come back next summer!”
“There are not enough words to describe the outstanding care that Caitlin gave our Daisy. Caitlin is warm, loving, confident and professional. Daisy was comfortable immediately with Caitlin and her home with its fenced in backyard. I will use Caitlin again and I highly reccomend her to others. Thank you Caitlin, Patti and Gary Kirkman”
“Karen is a kind, caring person and I am so grateful we found her. She eased my worries leaving my new dog for the first time. Then when my travel plans went awry, she once again eased my concerns and went above and beyond the help care for our dog. Our dog was in great hands, and being well cared for while we were away. Thank you again! You are awesome!”
“Karen was wonderful! We dropped our dog off for two nights while visiting family over the weekend. She was very kind and communicative throughout our dog's stay. It was our first time our dog had stayed with her, so the photos and updates were very helpful and appreciated! She gave our dog 1:1 time on walks and sent pictures of our dog relaxing in her home. We were later to pick-up than expected, and she was flexible and understanding! Thank you, Karen for your help with Blue!”
“Catlin is incredible, she put Morgan at ease and pampered him. I know that he enjoyed his stay with her from the pictures she sent. I would give her 10 stars if I could, for the services that she did. I'm recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you Catlin”
“Marcia did an excellent job taking care of Tuka! I could tell he was very comfortable with her and her family both when I left him and picked him up. Loved all the pictures she sent! We will definitely use her again!”
“Our Yellow lab Trigger had a great stay with Julie. He was very comfortable in her house/ yard. We appreciate how relaxed we were with Trigger staying at her house. Thanks Julie!!! Trigger and Julie and Al S.”
“Andrea and Bob were fantastic sitters for our high energy Boston Terrier for a week while we were out of the country. Their home and fenced-in yard were perfect. Each day we received several pictures of her many adventures, which gave us great reassurance that she was happy and receiving plenty of attention. They even dropped CiCi off to our home and coordinated hand-off details with a friend when we were out of reach. Everything was handled with great care and responsibility. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent service. Gracie (1.5 year old Golden) had a great time and I was appreciative of the updates and the fact that she was staying at someone’s home instead of a kennel with no overnight attendant. Will definitely book again.”
“Samantha took excellent care of Kiki. She provided a loving environment with lots of petting and walks. I would recommend her and will certainly book with her again in the future.”
“Cindi is an absolute professional; she is very communicative and organized. Her house is clean and she only takes one family at a time so that she can give your dog(s) all the attention and care that they individually need. A wonderful experience and we look forward to using her again!”
“Lucy really enjoyed her time with Michele. She settled in with no problems to a new environment and enjoyed the other companions and fenced yard. The best were the walks! Michele kept in touch and shared photos. Will definitely rebook!”
“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!”
“Alyne was very responsive when we were communicating before I finalized the booking. She had let me know that she would be watching 2 other dogs and brought them out one at a time to make sure my dog was OK with them. She took great care of my dog!”
About: I’m a lifetime animal lover, and get along terrifically well with dogs. My house is the go-to for friends and family needing a place for their pups to stay. I am retired with volunteer jobs part-time (2mornings), during the week. I’m never away from home for more than a few hours during which time my dog-friendly feline can either ignore your dog or keep them company. I’m home the majority of the time. Cozy corner in my den seems to be everyone’s favorite hangout and spot for their bed. The ilving room has multiple sunny spots for napping throughout the day. We will take several neighborhood walks a day and if dog and owner are willing, I go to Thompson’s field in Harwich where they can romp.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Barnstable is $69
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.

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.
