“We were thrilled with the way JULIA M. Took care of our dog, Pippin. We felt safe with her secure fenced in back yard. When we called to check on him during the week we were treated with wonderful pictures of Pippin having a blast and just "hanging out" with new doggie friends! We were so happy with our choice and will certainly recommend her to others.❤️”
“Anna was amazing! She was so flexible with timing and easy to get a hold of. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated! My pup seemed very comfortable and safe with her!! I would definitely recommend Anna!”
“Maria treated my pups as members of the family! They received lots of attention. She has dedicated her outdoor space for her furry visitors. My dogs were very excited to free roam and explore all the plants, trees and hidden places in her well maintained and fenced areas.”
“We left our 9 month old Gracie with Megan for the first time this past weekend. Megan sent updates and photos which we loved to see. She clearly loves animals and feel that she gave Gracie a lot of tender loving care. We will definitely use Megan again.”
“Karen took great care of our dog Dempsey. Great communication and lots of pictures. I will definitely book a stay there again. Strongly recommend her if you are going to the Cape beaches during the summer when dogs aren’t allowed.”
“We've left our dog, Scout, with Marc a few times now, and he's always great with her. He is super attentive (with great "dog sense"), taking care of both routine needs and special care needs as well. Scout is happy to stay with Marc and his family, receiving lots of loving attention, and we have peace knowing she's safe and cared for when we travel.”

“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!”
“I am so happy to have found Alexa to care for my senior dog while I went away. She was able to book on short notice, had great communication, and was very accommodating to my schedule. Most importantly, she provided excellent care and is very trustworthy. I look forward to booking with Alexa again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My family has always had multiple dogs in our home and a house isn’t a home without a dog. For years I have cared for friends and family dogs while they were either at work or vacation. Now that I am retired I have a lot more time to give helping others who need support to care for their dog. I am available all hours of the day and night. I can pick up dogs or they can be brought to my home. I am semi retired and this allows me lots of flexibility in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard that backs up to conservation land that I use to exercise my own dogs. If allowed by owner, walks on the beach at low tide is a favorite activity for our dogs. During the summers I walk the many trails this area has to offer, many with ponds the dogs love to swim in.
“Jenny took care of Ace within last minute need. She was amazing. Ace liked her from the moment he met her. She kept me in the loop about how Ace is doing and send pictures Proffesional and kind. Thanks Jenny See you in the summer.”
“Heather was beyond amazing and accommodating when we needed a dog sitter for a Cape Cod wedding. She is a fabulous communicator and provided updates throughout the weekend. We really appreciated her flexibility in taking him an hour earlier than expected and she even dropped him off at our hotel so we could avoid Sunday traffic. She’s also kind and clearly loves dogs! Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up caring for and loving dogs deeply. This is what inspired me to become a certified veterinary technician, which has taught me how to be an even more skilled and proficient caregiver for pets. My partner and I also have an extreme love of spending time outdoors (on the beach, hiking, etc.), so if your pet likes these activities, we would be a great fit! I currently work full time job, and my days off are Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. On workdays, I am usually gone anywhere from 8 until 3-7, but I am happy to house dogs in my home while I am gone if they are able to be left unattended for that amount of time. My husband works from home, so he is there to keep them company, take potty breaks, go for short walks, etc. I spend a lot of time after work outside and walking, so pets will still get their exercise. On my days off, I can dedicate a lot of time to pet care. That being said, I am generally available for pet sitting any day/night of the week, and dog walking after work or on my weekends. My yard is 95% fenced in, so playtime in the backyard is quite safe. I do not leave animals unattended outside. I will keep your dog on a leash in the yard if there is a risk of him/her running off. I live 0.2 miles from the beach on Nantucket sound, and have the ability to take your dog on leashed walks there if they enjoy activities like that! I am willing to let your pet roam free in the house if they are well-behaved and it is safe to do so, but can easily set up a crate if preferred or necessary.
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.
“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.”
“This is my second time having Taylor watch my dog, Pepper and I couldn’t ask for more! She is one of very few people that I really don’t worry about Pepper at all while I’m away.”

Jessen S.
“Jessen is exactly the person any loving pet owner hopes to find on Rover. There is no one I trust more to look after for my Goldens when I am away. Jessen has been caring for my pups for more than two years. When I walk out my door, I have complete peace of mind knowing that my dogs are under the watchful eye of someone who loves animals and knows how to care for them. My dogs are always happy to see Jessen and sad when they leave. You can't ask for a better testimonial than that. You will not find a more loving, conscientious, and knowledgeable caregiver for your pet.”
Lara S.
“If you're like me trusting someone to watch over your fur babies when you have to be out of town is one of the biggest challenges to having pets. In the past it has meant that I've been quick to cancel plans and have missed out on a number of special days and events of family and friends. But recently things have changed for me when it comes to my ability to travel because I now have someone I trust to watch my cats when I'll be away. Lara has been a life saver in this regard and it gives me such a sense of security to know they are under her care and that I don't have to always say sorry I can't go. You also never know when something could come up health wise with a family member and having that peace of mind that my cats are extremely well cared for is something that's hard to put into words. Lara sends me photos of the cats and keeps me updated as to how they are all doing so I don't worry about them. She absolutely adores animals and provides for them top notch care and attention so they don't feel lonely in my absence. She asks the important questions so nothing is just left up to chance and she is extremely detail oriented in her dedicated approach to pet care. I highly recommend Lara if you are looking for someone to care for your fur babies like I was.”

Panayiote L.
“Panayiote loves animals and they love him. He is patient, respectful, and never loses his temper. He follows directions to the letter, and he never forgets special instructions for my pets. He is responsible, very flexible with his availability, and vigilant when he's walking and caring for my pets.”

Harwich pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!
