Doggy Day Care in Barnstable Town

“Alyne was great, Bruce too, both welcoming our dog Auggie into their home. I liked her approach asking plenty of questions in advance to ensure Auggie was happy and comfortable. Always hard to know what our dog thought, but he was happy being left and pleased to see us on our return! We would happily rebook”

“Scout had a great time with Caitlin yesterday. She made sure he was occupied and happy and he even had a dip in the puppy pool! Thanks so much for taking such good care of my puppy! I recommend her without reservation.”

About: Hi! We’re a dependable, dog-loving family offering in-home dog boarding and dog sitting on Cape Cod. If you’re looking for a safe, attentive, and comfortable home for your dog while you’re away, you’ve found it. We have a small, friendly Labradoodle who loves other dogs and is very used to sharing his space. Because of that, visiting dogs typically adjust quickly and feel right at home here. We’ve cared for many friends’ dogs over the years, including puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. We’re comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, from active dogs who need lots of playtime and walks to more relaxed dogs who just want a calm, cozy environment. Why pet parents choose us: 🏡 Work-from-home care – Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods 🐶 Social, dog-friendly home – Great for dogs who enjoy companionship 🚶‍♀️ Daily walks & playtime tailored to your dog’s needs 📸 Frequent updates & photos so you always know how your pup is doing ❤️ Experienced with multiple dogs through years of sitting for friends About My Home 🏡🐾 Our home is a calm, dog-friendly space designed to make visiting pups feel comfortable right away. We have a large backyard with plenty of room for dogs to explore, play, and burn off energy. We also live on a quiet dead-end street, which means minimal traffic and a peaceful environment, great for walks and for dogs who may be a little more cautious or sensitive to noise. Inside, dogs are truly treated like part of the family. They’re welcome on the furniture and even on the bed if that’s what they’re used to at home—no strict rules here, just comfort and consistency with your dog’s routine. Because we both work from home, the house is rarely empty, and there’s always someone around to keep an eye on things, let the dogs out as needed, and provide plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection throughout the day, along with all the comforts of a home environment. We know how important it is to trust who you leave your dog with. Our goal is simple: make your dog feel safe, happy, and cared for, so you can relax while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet & greet—we’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine because we both work from home full-time. This allows us to build our day around the dogs in our care rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Our typical day includes morning potty breaks and walks, followed by a relaxed workday where dogs have plenty of supervision, companionship, and opportunities to go outside as needed. We take breaks throughout the day for playtime, short walks, and attention, depending on each dog’s energy level and routine. In the evenings, we usually incorporate longer walks, playtime, or wind-down time, making sure dogs are settled and comfortable before bedtime. Because dogs are part of our home environment, they’re included in our daily rhythm—not treated as an afterthought. On weekends, we’re generally home and maintain a similar routine, with even more flexibility for walks, outdoor time, and one-on-one attention. Overall, having dogs in our care is something we genuinely enjoy and prioritize, and our schedule allows us to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and week. We care for every dog as if they’re our own, with a focus on keeping their routine consistent, their environment safe, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Before any stay, we take time to understand your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any quirks or preferences—so we can mirror what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. In our home, dogs get: Plenty of supervision (we both work from home, so they’re rarely alone) Regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime based on their energy level A calm, safe environment with space to relax or socialize Lots of attention and affection throughout the day We’re also comfortable administering basic medications if needed and following any specific care instructions you provide.

“Karen was absolutely wonderful with Morty! He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She gave him plenty of attention, walks, and love throughout the day. I really appreciated her updates and the care she put into making him comfortable. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I couldn’t recommend her more highly — Morty will definitely be excited to visit again! 🐾”

Teodora S.

“Karen was absolutely great and super nice! I truly appreciated her being able to take care of pup so last minute, and she was completely flexible with me when running a little later than expected for pick up time:) She also sent me pictures and updates of my pup throughout the day which was definitely comforting to know my puppy was in good hands and having a great time:) I would definitely leave my dog with her in the future:)”

Monica M.

“Helena was great with my pup Spence! Very communicative and helpful.”

Erin S.

“Sherrie was perfect. She was patient with all the foibles of our elderly dog whose highlight of the day is getting her next treat. We would definitely recommend her. She and her husband both adore their own precious dog and seem to treat their borders like their own. Their home is nicely fenced to allow the dogs their freedom. Thanks Sherrie! We were able to go away free from worry. She also kept me secure by sending me updates. Great visit .”

About: I am a physical therapist who has a passion for working with people, however, I interact with people quite often. SO, what I really enjoy is making the time to cuddle or walk with furry friends any chance I can get. As a former doctoral student, I have learned how to manage time well, organize and prioritize. I have over 8 years of experience dog sitting for family members and these dogs include small breeds (Coton de Tulear and Dachshund), medium breeds (Beagle/Australian Sheperd mix) and large breeds (Pitbull/Boxer mix, Boxer, and Lab/Pitbull mix). I have administered medication on a strict schedule, bathed, walked and snuggled with all of these pups, showing nothing but love and dedication. I take all safety precautions to ensure gates are closed when necessary, human food is placed far out of reach, and all doors are shut that lead to tempting, tasty objects such as shoes and remotes. My experience with a variety of breeds and sizes makes me stand out, as well as my ability to handle high energy dogs who may appear confrontational at first. If you choose me to watch your fur babies, there is no doubt that they will be in good hands with someone who is dedicated to ensuring they are comfortable, happy and well taken care off. I have a very flexible schedule, I am in between jobs at the moment, so as long as I have enough notice, I am willing to make anything work! At my house I have to flexibility to take the dogs out as needed, I have a dog currently who is friendly with others. In my clients’ homes, I respect the client’s instructions and can perform any task they need! I respect the home and privacy as I have also had Rover sitters in my home and would want someone trustworthy.

“I enjoyed meeting Peter. He took care of my pup, Chip, and provided him with a home and a play pal for the day. Chip was happy and I was able to relax and enjoy my event. Peter provided me with peace of mind knowing that my Chip was in good hands. That’s all a dog parent can ask for. Thank you kindly, Peter. Hope to see you and Scooby again soon! Hugs, Chip and Eris”
