About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I previously spent 5 years working at Flying A Canine Ranch in Metamora, MI, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and sizes. My experience included doggy daycare, overnight boarding, feeding, administering medications, playtime, and best of all, lots of love and attention! I’ve also always had pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own! I recently moved to Cape Cod from San Diego and am lucky to have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends! I've always had a love for animals, so spending time with them is something I genuinely enjoy. I'm excited to meet some new furry faces and give them all the love, time and attention they deserve. I offer drop- in visits and dog walking, allowing your furry family members to stay happy and comfortable in their own familiar environment! I know how important routines are for pets, so I'll always follow your instructions and make sure they recieve plenty of love and attention. Whether it's a walk, feeding, fresh water, play time, litter box cleaning, or just some extra cuddles, I'm happy to help! I'll also send picutres and updates so you can feel at ease knowing your babies are in good hands!

About: Hi, I’m Delayna, owner of Furr Babyz Pet Care! I have over 25 years of experience caring for animals and am now in my 11th year of running my pet care business on Cape Cod. I spent four years working at a local animal hospital here on Cape, and started Furr Babyz Pet Care while working there as a veterinary technician. That experience helped shape the attentive, compassionate approach I bring to caring for every pet. I offer drop-in visits, daily walks, canine enrichment, and personalized care for dogs, cats, and other animal companions. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs—whether they enjoy active play, quiet companionship, or a patient approach while building trust. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable trusting with your animals. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable, cared for, and loved in their own home while you’re away. Furr Babyz Pet Care is fully insured and serves Osterville, Centerville, Marstons Mills, the Barnstable area, and parts of Mashpee. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Pet care is an established part of my daily routine as the owner of Furr Babyz Pet Care. I schedule visits around each pet’s needs and my existing commitments. We’ll discuss your preferred visit times and routine before booking to make sure we’re a good fit. If there is a pet friendly beach nearby you can bet we will visit! I care for pets in their own homes, where they can enjoy familiar surroundings and routines. Before care begins, we’ll review feeding instructions, behavior, household safety, and emergency contacts. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and leashes, and respect both your home and your pet’s boundaries. My four years working at an animal hospital helped shape my attentive approach to care. it! We can play in the yard or go on nature walks and explore the area. 🐾🙌
About: I’m a lifelong pet and dog lover with a 7 year-old female spayed lab, Ellie, of my own. I’ve cared for family, friends, and neighbor’s dogs for more than 25 years. My Ellie is very calm, friendly, highly socialised, and great with other dogs and children of all ages. I work from home and operate a licensed family daycare with success for more than 25 years. I have weekends off where I have plenty of time to take walks with my own dog and others. I am available for over night dog stays at that time also. My work area is separate, but I have a large fenced in yard with grass. My own dog plays with the children outside, but mostly stays upstairs when we are in. My Ellie often prefers the couch over her dog bed, and I’m fine with that. 😊 I have a completely fenced in backyard where the dogs get plenty of fresh air and exercise, but are never outside alone. My dog Ellie loves playing with other dogs and has a portable ‘doggy pool’ when it’s hot and plenty of shade. If your dog enjoys the comfort of their crate or special bed, feel free to bring them along.Home also has central air to keep your fury ones cool.All drop off and pick ups has to be by 7PM
About: I am entering my senior year at the University of Rhode Island, earning a degree in animal science, specializing in zoo and aquarium animal science with a focus on behavior and training. The classes I have taken at the university focus on animal biology, care, management, and behavior. I have had many animal care experiences ranging from cats and dogs, aquatic species at the Mystic Aquarium, and most recently caring for a geriatric elephant (so large dogs don’t scare me :))! Throughout my life I have had many pets from cats and dogs, to small mammals and reptiles. I have also had some experience training various animals, such as cats, chickens, bears and elephants! I have the basic skills to train using operant conditioning and positive reinforcement. I am working a part time summer job at a restaurant mostly working at night. I am available to do drop in visits throughout the day. I will not be able to take your pets into my home because I have pets of my own. Safety is my number one priority for myself and your pets and am willing to work through any challenges your pet may face!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barnstable
Sharon is wonderful with Billy, my senior dog who has special needs. She has an instinctive ability to understand what he needs, even when he can’t communicate it clearly, and she cares for him with patience, compassion, and attentiveness. Billy requires more supervision than the average dog when he is awake, and Sharon fully embraces that responsibility. I can trust her to care for him and my home completely.
Varalee was wonderful. I felt so at ease while I was away, she cared for my 8 year old cat Poppy. excellent communication & always provided very thorough report cards of her visits. she gave my cat a lot of attention & care! I could tell that Poppy was at ease when I returned & everything was very clean when I arrived home which I appreciate. I would book again.
Veralee took excellent care of Ampersand! We needed last-minute help and she showed up and handled everything with care, including giving Ampersand medication. Veralee communicated well, responded quickly, and sent a lot of videos and details on the check-in. She was very compassionate with Ampy, who had a nice time. We’re very glad for her help.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Barnstable is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 655 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Barnstable. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
