“Andrea and Bob did an excellent job of caring for my old dear dog. They treated her gently and with respect, and when I picked up my dog, I could tell by her tail wagging she was happy to see me yet happy to be there. I highly recommend Andrea and Bob, especially if your dog is old. Their experience in caring for senior dogs is clearly evident.”
“Michele is a wonderful! She did a thoughtful and thorough intake with my dog Rylie, who is older, hard of hearing and requires daily insulin injections. She sent daily updates with pictures of their “adventures” during her stay. You can tell she truly enjoys dogs and loves spending time with them. Highly recommend!”
“Julie was awesome with Walden! She’s had labs herself for many years so she welcomed him with open arms. He had a great time and would love to have her watch him again in the future. Thanks, Julie!”
“I felt completely safe and secure leaving my Australian terrier with Kari for a couple of nights. She sent lots of updates and pictures, which was great since it was his first time at her house. He was happy as a clam and made himself right at home! I will for sure ask Kari whenever I am in need of a sitter!”
“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 am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”
“Marc was fantastic. My little 13 year old, 9 lb. Maltese mix rescue had never been boarded anywhere before and stayed with Marc for a full week. Marc provided excellent care as well as updates and photos twice a day. I highly recommend him.”
“I was worried about leaving my Lab overnight with someone other than family. Jackie made me feel comfortable from the first meeting. It was such a relief knowing she was well loved while we were away.”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“Shiloh was well taken care of during his five days with Debra and her family, and he loved running in her huge high-fenced yard with her doggies. I will definitely consider leaving him with Debar on future trips.”
“Mabel loved her stay with Sally! She had a great time going on walks and playing with Sally’s sweet dog, Ginger. I highly recommend Sally as a Rover sitter — she took care of Mabel while I was on vacation in the Cape and kept me updated with regular photos. I felt so at ease knowing Mabel was in such great hands!”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Helena! This was my first time leaving my rescue pup with anyone, and she made it so easy! She sent me daily updates and even dropped Lexi off at my place for me bc I was sick and late to pick her up. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.”
“Melissa was wonderful with my dog Ella. She kept me updated with pictures and notes every day. Ella looked very happy in all the pictures around the house and during walks. I was happy that her dog and two cats got along very well with Ella. Would definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs prior to having kids, in my early 20’s. Summer residents and Nantucket residents where we resided before relied on me to walk and dog sit their pets. I’m currently home full time with my two boys. My oldest will be going into kindergarten in the fall and my youngest will be going to daycare part time and be home home with me the majority so I’m available/flexible. I am responsible and very protective of my kids along with clients pets. I do not have a fenced in yard but I would love to take your pet for nice long walks during the days on leash.
About: I’ve had a family dog my whole life, and my fiancé and I hope to have our own someday. Since we’re not able to right now, I get my dog fix through Rover! I’ve been active on Rover for over a year, doing walks, drop-ins, and house sitting pretty consistently. I love getting to care for all different kinds of dogs and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work full-time Monday–Friday from 8:30–4:30, with a lunch break where I can run home if needed. I’m always available on weekends and usually spend that time going on long walks, so I’m happy to include pets in my weekend plans! I treat every pet like my own! I follow their routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
“Erin is a lifesaver! After being informed at the last minute that another sitter never confirmed our appointment, we were stuck. We contacted Erin only a couple hours before we started our Cape vacation and she gladly took our two pups in for two days. We are so glad we found her. One of our dogs can be anxious, but that did not phase Erin. She immediately took them for a long walk (and swim) and got them tuckered out. We cannot recommend Erin more highly. There should be more than 5 stars to better reflect our review of her!”
“I was looking for someone to board my coonhound Cleo last minute, and Bonnie came to the rescue! Thank you Bonnie for taking such good care of Cleo which included giving her meds three times a day. Bonnie also made herself available so that we could pick up Cleo and take her to the beach in the evenings. Bonnie clearly loves animals and is very thorough and thoughtful in caring for them. Highly recommended!”
“An exceptional stay for my little pupper. They were very communicative accommodating and very kind. This was actually the first time we've ever left our dog with someone and will definitely be doing it again with them. They also were able to help me out in a pinch last minute to walk her the following week. Can't say enough positive things about them”

Madaket took care of our Bernese for the weekend. She seemed to have a great time. I liked that Madaket has a large outdoor space. Our dog looked happy in all the pictures. When we picked our girl up she kept nuzzling Madaket, good sign she was well taken care of.
Jackie was awesome. We are so glad she was available to watch our dog for the weekend. He was in great hands! She is trustworthy, kind, and has a great connection with animals. We look forward to coming back to the cape so our dog can get to see her again. Thank you Jackie!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Harwich home-away-from-home, 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.
