“Casey always has a blast at Michele's house and returns home tired and happy. She is warm, caring and loves dogs... truly the perfect person to care for our dog when needed. Thanks Michele!”
“Karen did a great job taking care of our dog. She sent me pictures of him every day and he looked like he was very content and well cared for. She even gave him a bath before we picked him up. I will be booking with Karen again!”
“Andrea and Bob were amazing sitters for our dog! They were communicative, kind, and thoughtful. It is clear that they genuinely love animals and caring for dogs. They gave our pup wonderful love, care, and attention!”
“Our Portuguese Water Dog had a great stay with Julie! We met ahead of time and she showed me her space and where the dogs play/sleep/eat, which helped ease my nerves about leaving him with someone new. She sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend. I would absolutely use Julie again in the future and recommend her to anyone in the area looked for pet care!”
“Madaket was fantastic, we arrived at the property and my dog Olympia started sprinting around with her dog Millie. The property was also very large, which gave Olympia plenty of room to enjoy herself. Madaket sent several pictures and videos throughout the day. There is nothing better than feeling confident that your dog doesn’t miss you because you know they are having such a good time ?! I’d be happy to leave Olympia there any time! Plus she gave Olympia a little blue bandana ?”
“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!”
“I picked Caitlin because of the reviews I read - many by return customers. I’m so happy I did. Caitlin was so easy to communicate with and she took perfect care of my dog. I would definitely ask Caitlin to watch him again. She was amazing.”
“Lauren and Kelly are ahhh-mazing! They are so kind, accommodating and treat your pet like a part of their own family. They sent me photos throughout my time away. My dog came home so happy and I swear he was smiling when I picked him up! So trustworthy and loving to your furry family member. Can not thank them enough or say enough to express the feeling that you feel, knowing that your pet is safe and loved while you are away!!! 💗💕💗”
“We left our two year old golden retriever with Chelsea for a 1 week vacation. It was our first time leaving her with anyone. Communication was very responsive and our minds were put at ease with photos and updates on how she was doing. We will definitely use Chelsea next time - and I think our pup will love to see her new friends 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!
“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.”
“Karissa was very responsive during the entire process! She was professional, friendly and greeted Lilly in a very gentle manner. She also sent me daily photos/videos. I would definitely use her again!”
“Marcia did an excellent job taking care of Tuka! I could tell he was very comfortable with her and her family both when I left him and picked him up. Loved all the pictures she sent! We will definitely use her again!”
“We used Cindi for the first time for our energetic Lab. They definitely kept her exercised and happy and sent her home with a new blanket. She was very responsive and sent regular updates, which is what every dog owner loves.”
“Alyne did a wonderful job with Zoey who had never been boarded or stayed in a strange home. Zoey appears to have been well cared for and was a happy girl. Would definitely reach out to Alyne again.”
“Harriet was wonderful - very communicative, sent lots of cute pics and videos. Our dog adored playing with Harriet's other dogs and was reluctant to leave them at the end of her stay. We hope to board Eliza here again for another charmed doggie holiday in Truro!”
“Jorie was amazing taking care of my pug Cruze! She was very communicative and sent me photos of Cruze enjoying her place. It was clear upon pick up that Cruze had a great time and I would definitely book Jorie again!”
