“We adopted Igor very recently and we knew it would be asking a lot of him to board so quickly. They took such great care of him and his separation anxiety. I would not hesitate to bring Igor back for visits and stays in the future. Thank you again for being so kind!”
“Julie is a dedicated and warmly caring person whose care of my two dogs while I was away in Europe went over and above the expected. She was especially attentive to my sweet old 16+ year old Wheaten, showing just how well she knows how to meet the needs of a senior dog. Thank you, Julie!”
“Zuzana did an amazing job taking care of our lab. Gizmo was a great host and our dog had a blast. Zuzana also went out of her way to purchase a new collar when ours broke last minute. Thank you so much! Would book again 100%!!!”
“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.”
“Harriet was an amazing sitter! She made sure to send me plenty of pictures while I was away and Fiona looked happy and chilled in all of them. It was also a great experience for Fiona because she got to know all the animals in the farm and she got along with them too. I didn’t know if she was good with cats and she is! I’m very happy and grateful with how loving and caring Harriet was with Fiona and I’m definitely booking another stay with her in the future.”
“Peyton had the best time!! We are so grateful. She was spoiled with their amazing property/set up, their sweet dogs, and all the TLC! We would send her back in a heartbeat”
“Sara took such great care of my Norma the 4 nights we were on the Cape for vacation! Norma is an anxious girl and Sara was able to quickly attune to her and help her feel right at ease (Norma usually barks when she meets new people; she didn’t bark at all upon meeting Sara and warmed to her very quickly!). Sara was responsive and communicative throughout Norma’s stay, sending along status updates and sweet photos and videos of Norma looking relaxed and happy. I will definitely have Norma stay with Sara the next time I’m on the Cape! Would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for great dog care!”
“Alyne was absolutely outstanding!!!! She went above and beyond for our pup Lona while she was there. We were very glad to see that Lona’s tail was wagging when we would drop her off and she went with Alyne no problem! We hope to be able to use Alyne again sometime in the future!”
“We had a very last minute trip to the cape and Jackie was very responsive and accommodating! I cannot say enough good things about the care she was able to provide for my dog Tate. She was able to send constant pictures and videos which made the time away from the dog much easier knowing he was in such loving care. It was a 10/10 service and worth every penny!”
About: I am a very active 49 year old mom with adult children and two small dogs. I grew up with animals my whole life, and my family even owned a chain of pet stores when I was growing up, where I worked. My family is packed with doctors and vets. I move to the Cape full time and am available to walk dogs, house sit, and board small to medium sized animals in my home in Orleans. We have a fenced in backyard and lots of space to run on the beach. I work remotely, part-time as an attorney and set my own schedule. My true love is animals! My flexibility gives me plenty of time to care for pets, in your home, in mine, or just for a walk. I take my dogs for a daily run to on the beach and am happy to take along another. I can also care for your dog alone in your home (and leave mine home with my amazing family). Finally, I am available for walking your pup, most days in your neighborhood or mine. We have an acre of land and half is fenced in for dogs. We have extra cages if desired. Ours never enjoyed their crates. We will follow your schedule and treat your pet like a member of the family. We invite interviews in advance to ensure we are the right fit for your pet.
“Outstanding!! Pupper is a fairly shy, quiet little dog, but he immediately took to Isabella -- she absolutely "gets" dogs. Her home is very well set up for dogs, with cozy beds, generous water bowls, and pup blankets on the sofa. The many photos she sent me during Pupper's stay showed me that he was completely happy and comfortable, either in her arms or lounging in a dog bed, keeping an eye on the kitchen. :) Isabella is a treasure and I highly recommend!”
“Emily is such a great sitter! Her home is lovely and welcoming! Goose, her sweet golden, was fabulous for Stevie to wear herself out with. Great communication and overall, a wonderful experience.”
About: I was employed at an emergency veterinary hospital on Nantucket Island for over 5 years. During this time I held the following jobs and responsibilities- boarding/kennel manager, vet tech assistant, emergency patient intake, surgical assistant, patient care provider. I also ran my own pet sitting business for well over one hundred clients, some high profile, on island. I have cared for every type of animal from cats and dogs, to birds and turtles. I have experience with special needs and diabetic pets as well- can safely assist pets with mobility issues and administer insulin. I have also worked with a non-profit organization where I assisted in the humane trapping of stray cats to spay/neuter them before safely releasing them or providing them with a new home if possible. I absolutely love to be outdoors and am always on the trails hiking. I’d love to bring your dog along with me! I'm a full-time remote student with a flexible schedule, so I'm available for midday walks and last-minute visits. I'm out on the trails most days and love having a companion to bring along! I don't currently have any pets of my own, so your pet gets my full attention. I follow owners' instructions carefully and with confidence.
“scott & shayla are amazing! they took incredible care of our 10 month old fox red lab for two weeks. initially i was hesitant to leave her for the first time but they clearly have a way with dogs. i was able to pick up and drop off my dog to go to the beach or leave her for the day based on work; their flexibility made things so easy and enjoyable. we received texts and photo updates and calmed my nerves immediately. i will definitely work with scott and shayla in the near future! thank you both :)”
“These two were amazing!!! They have two small dogs who are welcoming and loved my Roxie. They have a beautiful, fenced in backyard with plenty of shade and room for the dogs to get their energy out. The house was nice and most importantly, Roxie was clearly well cared for with belly rubs and attention as she seemed to not want to leave! I loved that they offered a visit first to make sure it was a good fit and their communication was great while I was gone. Will definitely use again.”
“Collin watched our two dogs in his home for eleven nights while were were out of town for a wedding. Collin sent multiple pictures and videos of our dogs lounging, playing, going on walks, and eating throughout their stay. He even sent a daily recap each evening. The pictures of our dogs were adorable….they looked like they were on doggie vacation! It made me feel more relaxed knowing they were in good hands with Collin. He loves dogs and it shows! We highly recommend his services!”
“Caitlin & Jeff were great! - easy drop-off - updates & pix during our dog's stay - prompt replies to texts They were very trustworthy & reliable ... would definitely use again.”
About: Hi! I'm Brianna! 🥰 I'm a lifelong animal lover, former veterinary technician with 5 years of clinical experience, and proud dog mom located in Forestdale, Massachusetts! Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my two little boys, I spent five years working as a veterinary technician at a small animal hospital. During that time, I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. These days, I'm fortunate enough to be home with my two boys, which also allows me to offer a loving, home-based environment for the pets in my care. Rather than a traditional kennel setting, my goal is to provide a comfortable, family-oriented experience where your pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care. My veterinary background has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with a variety of needs, including administering oral and injectable medications, recognizing signs of illness or distress, and remaining calm and levelheaded in unexpected situations. I'm also experienced in caring for senior pets and animals requiring a little extra attention. Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I've been riding horses since I was five years old and have years of experience training horses, teaching riding lessons, and managing barns with 30+ horses. At home, my family has several dogs of our own, so I understand firsthand just how much our pets mean to us. My approach to pet care is simple: I treat every animal as if they were my own.❤️ I understand that leaving your pets in someone else's care can be stressful. My goal is to provide dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your pet needs a little extra TLC, medication administration, or simply some love and companionship while you're away, I'd love to help! 📍 Located in Forestdale, MA *Rates may vary for holidays, additional pets, extended stays, and medication administration.* As a stay-at-home mom to two little boys, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I'm home throughout much of the day, which means pets staying with me receive plenty of attention, companionship, and opportunities for playtime, potty breaks, and exercise. I offer doggy daycare and overnight boarding. My standard daycare hours are 9:30 AM–3:30 PM, but I'm happy to discuss scheduling needs on an individual basis. Whether your pet enjoys an active day filled with playtime or prefers a quieter, more relaxed environment, I do my best to accommodate their individual routines and needs. My goal is to make their time with me feel as comfortable and familiar as possible! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! With five years of experience as a veterinary technician, I'm confident in caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, including those requiring medications or special attention. Dogs staying with me enjoy a comfortable, loving home environment with plenty of attention, supervised outdoor playtime in our fenced-in backyard, and regular potty breaks. I do my best to maintain each dog's normal feeding, sleeping, and daily routines to help them feel right at home. I'm also happy to provide photos and updates throughout their stay so you can relax knowing your pup is in experienced, loving hands!
About: Hello! I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and am excited to learn more about your pup. I have a very friendly golden retriever who will be home during your dog’s stay and will be around all day to play with your dog and can take them out at regular intervals. Look forward to hearing from you! I’m currently working on from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog! I’m up usually around 7am and can take the dog out first thing, then usually take the dogs out around 11pm for a last potty break. I’m very clean/organized and will be respectful of your home and belongings should you need me to stop by your home to watch your pup

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Chatham can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Chatham home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Chatham.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chatham. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
You and your Chatham sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
