“Jaqueline is the best. We’ve used her multiple times and are never disappointed. She’ll take care of your baby as if it was her own. Will be using her again. Thanks, Jaqueline!”


“Karen communicated wonderfully, followed our requests and send photos of the babies. We were super pleased with her and will be having her back again soon next time we are away!”


“Gail is a superstar! I needed to find a dog sitter at the last minute and had never used Rover before. Gail responded right away and made a plan to meet me and my pup right away to confirm it was a fit. Gail did a fantastic job watching Rocky! She sent me updates and I never had to think or worry about how things were going at home during our trip. I will absolutely use Gail again and cannot recommend her enough.”


“Alexa did a fine job caring for Reilly for two weeks. He clearly felt very comfortable with her and she exudes confidence. Reilly is on a complicated medication and feeding schedule and Alexa handled it flawlessly and without fuss. The daily pics she texted were reassuring.”


“While we were away for a medical procedure, our 15 year old dog became quite ill, requiring lots of attention and complex caregiving — and house cleaning — as well as comforting. Caitlin managed all parts of this VERY difficult booking, which was much more than she bargained for, with competence and grace , and kept her safe and comfortable while we scheduled the Vet and raced home. We were so relieved to have such close and competent attention for our little girl, and grateful for Caitlin‘s grace and confidence at a precarious time. We can’t say enough good about Caitlin and we can’t thank herenough.”


“Sharon was wonderful with watching and bringing our dog to our wedding. She clearly really cares about dogs and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. We felt very comfortable with leaving him in her capable hands. We will certainly have our dog stay with Sharon again when we are back on the cape! We can’t recommend her more! Thank you Sharon!!”


“Thank you Katrina for your caring overnight stay with Katie and your being available on such short notice is so appreciated! Katie is surely looking forward to the next petsitting adventure with you!”


“Zach was so great with our dog Ducky and 2 cats. Zach was so helpful and allowed for us to enjoy our vacation knowing the wonderful care that he was providing our pets. We highly recommend Zach for any animal care needs.”


“Helena is INCREDIBLE!! I felt so at ease while away. Nala has quite the separation anxiety which makes it hard to leave because she can be a little high maintenance. Not once did I worry about her being left alone for long periods of time. Helena sent me a bunch of updates and pictures. She left the house super clean. I highly recommend her! Nala and I love her so much <3”


“Our two Pups (Misty and Maiden) were so well cared for and enjoyed the time they spent with Ashley! We returned from vacation and the house was spotless, the pups happy and energized. I would recommend Ashley for house sitting.”


About: I have had dogs and cats growing up my entire life and have a ton of experience with both animals. I absolutely love playing with dogs, learning their personalities and snuggling with them as well. starting in the fall, I will be student teaching full-time, but will have evenings and early mornings available. Weekends are also free! It just depends on what week. I cannot right now care for animals in my home as I am living with my parents. While staying in your home, I will make sure your pet is always fed. Walked and played with and safe.

“Panny was phenomenal! He took care of our pups and our home with great care and attention to detail. Our dogs loved him from the moment he arrived and he kept us up to date with pics/updates throughout our entire trip. We returned home to a clean house and happy pups!”


“Paige was an amazing sitter and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. It was great to know my two dogs were being cared for and it eliminated a lot of usual stress I have on my trips. She kept me updated and sent photos to assure they were doing well. My dogs were happy and tired when I returned!”


About: I have spent many years caring for family and friends pets. From pugs to mastiffs. Experience in administering medication and any other needs your pet may have. I am currently working full time, with weekends off. I am available after 5:00 for drop ins/walks Monday thru Friday. Available for boarding Friday evenings to Sunday. My weekends are very flexible and will take last minute bookings. I will make sure your pet is happy and content. Play time and walks are a must along with rest. Anything to keep them happy. I am willing to sit for your pet in your home or mine. Whichever works best for the client.

“Susan was wonderful! We left our girls (Pugs) Peekaboo and Penelope in Susan’s care at our home in South Yarmouth for 3 days / 3 nights. Susan kept us informed throughout each day how they were doing and sent photos of them. We will definitely use Susan again when we need a home/dog sitter!!!”

“Taylor was AMAZING with both our kitty and our dog! She sent way better photos than we can ever take ourselves, and made sure our dog got lots of exercise outside. She was very patient with our unsocial kitty too, making sure to give her all the space she needed in order to feel comfortable. We would recommend Taylor to anyone.”
