“Marcia was wonderful; they made my pup feel like a member of the family! I got lots of updates so I didn't have to worry while I was away for work. Cane was having so much fun that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home!”
“My German shepherd Justin had a great stay with Karen. We appreciated the flexibility and communication around his stay. Double check whether there will be other dogs there, as the host was listed as not having dogs, but there were a family member’s two small dogs at the house when I dropped him off.”
“I’m guilty of being a helicopter Mom. My dog is very attached to me and spoiled! Needless to say I was overly worried leaving Finn for 5 nights. Steve was amazing putting me to ease. He sent pictures and videos that clearly showed Finn both happy and comfortable. Finn will be a repeat customer:)”
“Caitlin was a g*dsend! My 2 small senior boys had such a nice time with Caitlin's family, and it was our first time with her. We do not live very close, but I will absolutely reach out again if we need a safe, comfy, happy place to stay!”
“Caitlin was great! Very easy to communicate with and very responsive. She was also very patient with giving my dogs time to adjust to a new person and new environment. She has a relaxed home setting where my dogs settled in quickly. And when I pick them up, my dogs were obviously happy to see me, but not frantic like they sometimes are when I pick them up from places where they haven’t been as comfortable.”
“I’m so happy we found Karen, she takes such amazing care of our Goldie and sends us lots of updates. It definitely calms our anxiety (which is high!!) when we have to leave her! It’s also such a relief that Goldie has Juni to hang out with, such a sweet girl.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Casey always has a blast at Michele's house and returns home tired and happy. She is warm, caring and loves dogs... truly the perfect person to care for our dog when needed. Thanks Michele!”
“I would give them 10 stars if that were possible! We were so pleased with Andrea and Bob and the wonderful care they gave our 11 yr old Rhody boy while we were away. We felt confident that he was in good hands every day and appreciated that they sent us lots of photos, too. I recommend them highly and will definitely look them up when we plan our next trip! Really nice folks. Very accommodating. We appreciated their extra efforts. Especially since this was a family emergency type trip with short notice.”
“Maria and her family took wonderful care of our 4 mo old golden. Frequent updates and pictures. Played all day with the other pups. Perfect set up! Thank you Maria!”
“We only had a short trip but our dog, Finn had an absolute ball at Marc’s house. The pictures he sent us showed Finn running, playing meeting other dogs and generally having a great time. Whenever we leave Finn with Marc, we can go away without any worries at all. When Finn comes home, he’s a happy and tired dog!”
“Ann was great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and communication was great for the overnight. You could tell Philly was comfortable the whole time. Will absolutely book again.”
About: I have extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes. Growing up, my family had large dogs (90+ pounds) for almost all of my life. I have watched and pet-sat for dogs of all sizes in the past few years for neighbors and friends. I’ve recently moved back to the Massachusetts area after a travel-heavy job for the past few years, so no fur babies of my own yet! I look forward to re-exploring some of the wonderful walking trails the Cape offers with your furry friends! I’m currently working as a server part-time, so have plenty of time to play with, walk, and feed your dogs/cats. I am available for boarding or pet-sitting in your home most weeks, and for walks nearly every evening, plus morning and afternoon shifts every Tuesday and Wednesday. I have a large backyard and walking trails within a 10-minute walk from my house, perfect for leashed adventures! I do not have any pets in the house full-time, but may have my parent’s well-trained and friendly rescue in the house on occasional weekends.
“Jennifer was great !! I will definitely be using her services again. She took very good care of my fur baby. I trust her and my puppy was very comfortable and happy in her care. Thanks again Jenn.”
“Jacqueline was wonderful with both of our dogs! She treated them like family, sent pics and videos and provided great care. Not having to worry about our fur babies made our trip even better. Her home is super dog friendly including a safe and spacious fenced in yard. I recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her dog hospitality and for my dogs again in the future. Superb!”
“Shiloh was well taken care of during his five days with Debra and her family, and he loved running in her huge high-fenced yard with her doggies. I will definitely consider leaving him with Debar on future trips.”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Helena! This was my first time leaving my rescue pup with anyone, and she made it so easy! She sent me daily updates and even dropped Lexi off at my place for me bc I was sick and late to pick her up. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.”

Barnstable dog parents share their Rover experiences
Isabella was awesome and gave me great peace of mind to leave my golden retriever with her for 2 nights, first time. She kept me well informed w texts and pics. My dog looked right at home, no surprise given Isabella's lifelong experience with animals.... intend to work with Isabella in the future and would highly recommend her services!!
I couldn't be more grateful for Melissa and Kellie! I was moving my daughter out of NYC and boarded her here for a couple of days, unbeknownst to me how bad the blizzard was going to be in the Cape. I had to extend a night and they graciously took Aspen while we worked our way back during the travel ban. I never doubted if Aspen was loved or cared for and am grateful to have found these two. She will be back!
