“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.”
“Thanks for everything! Very easy coordination and we appreciated that Caitlin washed our dog’s bedding before giving it back to us. We definitely recommend Caitlin!”
“Karen hosted my dog Lulu overnight and was very genial & accommodating as well as an excellent communicator. It was clear that Lulu felt very comfortable with Karen and her sweet dog.”
“Julie was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup, and Julie sent multiple daily updates, and was so welcoming, caring and kind. I HIGHLY recommend Julie and we will be booking with her (and her wonderful dog Ellie) again.”
“Alyne was a great host for my dog, Bella. When you see how relaxed a dog is after a stay, you know the host treated your dog well, as was the case with Alyne. Bella seemed to get along with her dog, Bruce, which made the stay even better. Bella had lots of room to run around. I would definitely board Bella with Alyne again.”
“Andrea and Bob truly went above and beyond watching my mini bernedoodle while I visited friends on the cape! She instantly felt at home in the yard and went on lots of adventures on the beach, a trail, and jeep rides! I was worried she would never want to leave. Penny was in heaven and hopes to be back soon!”
“Leo and Luna had a great stay with Marc! At our meet and greet beforehand, they loved playing with Marc’s dog Archie, and it looks like that continued throughout the visit! Marc sent plenty of cute pictures and it was clear they were relaxed and happy when we picked them up. Highly recommend!”
“An outstanding boarding facility. They were sensitive (Luis and his wife), responsive to our needs and our pet loved his stay! He hardly wanted to come home since he had a buddy at the sitters. I will try to book them whenever I have the need.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“My dog had a great stay with Debra! She made several new friends and it was clear that my dog had a wonderful time. Debra sent me several pictures documenting the stay!”

Barnstable dog parents share their Rover experiences
All of us who are pet owners and treat them like family, know how hard it is to leave them behind when you go away. So you want to make sure you board them with someone who will provide for their needs like you would. And that person is Isabella! We left our two Springer Spaniels in her care and were extremely pleased with her warm heartedness, care, and daily communication. She made our mini-vacation a little bit nicer knowing our Springer girls were well taken care of! Highly recommend.
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!
