“Caitlin was incredibly responsive when scheduling with us. She was flexible when we had to adjust times and quick to reply. Super grateful we found her and she was able to take care of our pup for 2 nights. Would recommend and use again!”


“This was Gertie's first overnight stay and she was in great hands! I loved getting the picture updates, Gertie has high anxiety and they were very accommodating. Would definitely book again”


“Stephen took extra sweet care of my bulldog Stella. Fantastic and frequent communicator, I truly appreciate the updates and pictures of Stella throughout her stay. 100% would recommend Stephen and consider for future Cape boarding needs!”


About: I’m a 32 year old teacher who is looking to take some new pet friends on walks this summer. I have an almost 3 year old chihuahua who is the center of my world, and I have previous experience house-sitting, walking and boarding. I’d love to meet you and your furry friends! Available starting June 20th, during the week and most weekends. Typically available 8-4, and can walk your friend near you or take them on an adventure! Available to help year-rounders and seasonal friends! Boarding can be worked out on request! My wife and I have a fenced in yard, and our fur baby Bonsai is very dog-friendly. The yard is decent sized, and I stay outside and play with our friends in order to keep an eye on them. We can crate as needed, and are pretty flexible. Bonsai and I love our walks, and I can bring Bonsai along to keep your pet company if you would like! As for boarding, we’ve had three different sets of furry friends board at our home already this year!


“Heather was awesome! Koozie was happy to go with her and sad when she had to go. Her dogs are awesome with other dogs and Heather clearly has great energy and experience with animals. We will be sure to use her again the next time we’re on the Cape”



“Sam and Pam were wonderful with Finn. They looked after him so well and treated him with such care! We appreciated everything they did for us and Finn loved every minute with them! We absolutely would book them again without question!”


“My pup, Foxy, gives 4 paws and a tail up to Emmanuel & Laurel P. She'd give more if she could. Evidence: she just stood on their front stoop waiting to go back in when I arrived to take her home. Her expression said: You've been pretty good these past 13 years but these guys ROCK. I give Emmanuel & Laurel P 4 paws and a tail up too. They were terrific - from the moment I connected (for a last minute booking), to all the messages and photos they sent of Foxy chilling and walking, to their swift replies to my messages. Lovely people, clearly folks who love dogs and know how to treat them just right. THANK YOU E & L”


About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover my whole life, with over 8 years of experience caring for my own pets. While in college, I regularly walked dogs and provided sitting services for friends, neighbors, and local families. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, and I pride myself on noticing the little details—whether it’s a change in behavior, a favorite toy, or a special dietary need. Animals respond to genuine care, and I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. I currently work remotely from 9 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday, which allows me to be home and attentive to pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits before 9 AM and after 6 PM on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends for boarding or daytime care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine—I love having furry companions around while I work and always make time for play, cuddles, and outdoor breaks. I work remotely full-time, so I’m home and available to supervise pets throughout the day. I share my space with four well-behaved cats who are used to a calm, cozy environment and enjoy having company. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-safe, with plenty of sunny spots and enrichment for feline guests. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine, monitoring interactions, and creating a stress-free space.


“Wonderful experience for our dog! She took him on so many adventures like hiking, swimming and to the park! He probably felt that he was at summer camp with friends (her two sweet dogs were great with our dog!) The photo and video updates were so helpful and put our mind at ease the whole time! Highly recommend!! Thank you so much!! Will be booking again next time we are on the cape!”


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.

“Margie is the best pet sitter ever. It was love at first sight with her and my most 70lb, strong sporto dog (who is also sensitive and hates being alone…). She kept in such good contact with me, took Hugo on amazing walks, sent me daily updates and photos (with my dog calmly smiling!) :) . If my dog could talk, he’d have asked to stay with her forever! I think we both made a lifelong friend. Thank you!”


“Collin kept me informed of all their activities, multiple walks, etc, etc. I could easily tell that he had become fond of Bella, which was nice. He was very accommodating about my dropoff and pickup times, too. A very nice young man.”


“Erin was amazing! Hamilton has been asleep since he got home from a weekend away! We will definitely be using Erin again. She gave him a ton of exercise, was a quick communicator, and sent me lots of pictures. I know Ham was in good hands and will continue to use Erin for boarding and hopefully daycare soon!”


About: My name is Eric and I live in Falmouth with my wife, 3 children, basset hound and bunny. I work as a firefighter paramedic and have a rotating schedule with 6/8 days off. Looking to fill my time with taking care of your furry family members. We can host or my wife or I can stay in your home. We can also do drop in visits or walks throughout the day. I am comfortable administering medications orally or injected for pets requiring it. We are an active family that loves walks, playing fetch or just rolling around the yard. We do limit dogs that stay with us to be good with children ages 3-11 and other dogs. If we don't have a service listed please ask!


About: Dog and bird owner for over 30 years. Experience with both. Loving and caring in a clean safe environment. Retired Police Officer too! Safe and trustworthy! I currently own my own business so mornings are best as well as overnights. Flexibility is a bonus with my schedule. We love walks and swims! Fenced in yard! smaller dogs only. If your dog likes to swim, we’re your place! We also have a fenced in deck so they can get fresh air throughout the day!

“Nicholas took great care of my best buddy while I got to go spend a day and night with friends. Ted had a great time and slept the whole way back to Boston. We would highly recommend Nicholas for anyone looking for an overnight while on Cape !!!”


“Peter gave our doggo a weekend of walks, trips to the beach and snuggles. It was heaven! Our pup didn’t want to leave! Peter’s dog Snoopy was also an excellent host. Our dogs got along like they were best friends! I cannot recommend Peter enough.”

About: Hello! My name is Sammie and I’m a college athlete and nursing student at UML. I’ve had three dogs in my lifetime so far at the ripe age of 20. I am a huge animal lover and obsessed with every furry friend. I had two beagles growing up… and now I have a four year-old sassy, husky named Skye… we rescued Skye a little over three years ago when she was 1 year old. She lives with my mom and I. We take her on three walks a day, short car rides, dog park trips, and we give her plenty of playtime. She has a few different husky friends in the neighborhood. Although she’s a little crazy, she’s my best friend. Now that I attend Umass Lowell, where I play Division I women’s lacrosse I don’t have as much time to spend with her. Being away from my little husky is hard, but I visit her as much as possible. I’m excited to get started helping other families with fur babies. Every morning and every evening I walk my husky. We play with her throughout the day depending on who is around in the family. She gets weekly dog park trips as well and hangs out with her friends in the neighborhood. Plenty of playtime, cuddles and walks. I know my dog loves to take long walks in the neighborhood, play fetch with her ball and snuggle on the couch when she’s tired.

About: 10 plus years of experience, pet parent to one 10 year old shepherd mix who is friendly and waiting to hang out with your dog! I currently work a hybrid work schedule Monday-Friday. I can take dogs who are potty trained during the weekdays, but not puppies or dogs with small bladders as I likely can’t let them out as much as they need and deserve. Over the weekend I am able to shower your dog with affection, belly rubs, and as many potty breaks as they need. A pet parent myself, I know how hard it can be to find reliable and trustworthy care for our precious pups! I will make sure your pup(s) feel like they are family. I have one 10 year old shepherd mix who is friendly and loves having a friend to hang out with. I have an almost completely fenced in back yard, but I stay out there and play with the dogs while they are outside. If your dog is able, I will also give them plenty of walks and hikes!
