“Caitlin was nothing short of wonderful putting puppy parents at ease when we had to leave our 13 week old lab for 12 days. From the very beginning she was ready and willing to do anything to make me feel comfortable enough to leave her. Constant and quick communication put my mind to rest. Pictures and videos everyday so we could see our girl. I will not hesitate to book her again when we go away or need a dog sitter. Id give more than 5 stars if i could.”
“Andrea and Bob truly went above and beyond watching my mini bernedoodle while I visited friends on the cape! She instantly felt at home in the yard and went on lots of adventures on the beach, a trail, and jeep rides! I was worried she would never want to leave. Penny was in heaven and hopes to be back soon!”
“Karen is an easy, caring dog mother who is lively and helpful. I heard from her everyday when I was away and always felt that Scout would be well cared for—and happy with other dogs.”
“Otis had a great time with Caitlin and her family! She was really flexible and communicative, and sent us regular updates and pictures. We so appreciated having such a welcoming family to care for our pup!”
“Our Yellow lab Trigger had a great stay with Julie. He was very comfortable in her house/ yard. We appreciate how relaxed we were with Trigger staying at her house. Thanks Julie!!! Trigger and Julie and Al S.”
“Madaket watched our dog Cooper for a week, and was wonderful! She sent us photos each day showing the days activities which included going for walks, playing with her dog Bermuda, and just relaxing. When Cooper came home to us, he was relaxed and happy (unlike when he had been boarded elsewhere). Not only can we highly recommend Madaket to watch your pet, but we have already booked Cooper to be with her again for a couple more stays.”
“Chelsea watched our 4 month old puppy while we were on vacation on the cape for a week. She was absolutely wonderful. She made the whole process easy and comfortable. She was flexible, responsive, and reassuring. I will definitely contact her again if we decide to vacation on the cape in the future.”
“I was very satisfied with Ryan's care of our dog. He communicated constantly before, during, and after the boarding to alleviate any confusion. He was also considerate in making her feel comfortable in her new environment. I appreciated that Ryan offered to give a a wash and nail trimming at a very affordable rate. This I thought set Ryan apart from other people that we have had watch our dog. We will certainly rebook with Ryan next time we are in the area.”
“Marcia was wonderful; they made my pup feel like a member of the family! I got lots of updates so I didn't have to worry while I was away for work. Cane was having so much fun that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home!”
“Cindi was absolutely wonderful in caring for our dog Benny. We got daily updates and pictures letting us know how he was doing. The meet and greet was really thorough and made us feel like Benny would be at a home away from home while we were out of town. I would absolutely recommend Cindi to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter for their pup!”
About: I’m a lifetime animal lover, and get along terrifically well with dogs. My house is the go-to for friends and family needing a place for their pups to stay. I am retired with volunteer jobs part-time (2mornings), during the week. I’m never away from home for more than a few hours during which time my dog-friendly feline can either ignore your dog or keep them company. I’m home the majority of the time. Cozy corner in my den seems to be everyone’s favorite hangout and spot for their bed. The ilving room has multiple sunny spots for napping throughout the day. We will take several neighborhood walks a day and if dog and owner are willing, I go to Thompson’s field in Harwich where they can romp.
“Rob was absolutely perfect. My dog Prince stayed for a entire week and was extremely well taken care of and happy. I would definitely use Rob again whenever I need someone I know I can trust to look after my dog. Thanks!”
“Total rock star sitter - could not recommend Kari any more highly! This was only Sadie‘s second time boarding in someone else’s home without me…I learned from my first experience that Sadie does not do great with other pets in the house… and, even though Kari’s was pet free, I was still trepidatious about trying another boarding situation in a strange (to my pup) home. My fears were immediately alleviated upon meeting and seeing Kari interact with Sadie and how she let Sadie explore around her wonderful home. Physical relief was all I felt when I left Sadie with her. Kari kept me informed each day with reports and pictures of what she and Sadie were doing, and I was never worried that Sadie was anxious or anything but completely comfortable. Seriously will make sure that Kari is available anytime I plan anything where I need to leave Sadie with someone for any reason! I think my girl had a great time and definitely was very well cared for. Cannot thank Kari and her family enough! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Karen hosted my dog Lulu overnight and was very genial & accommodating as well as an excellent communicator. It was clear that Lulu felt very comfortable with Karen and her sweet dog.”
“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.”
“Ollie had the best time! Katie and Jessie were patient as Ollie warmed up, they took him to the beach and on a boat ride. Overall they treated him like their own pet and Ollie seemed happy. They sent multiple photos each day and were very responsive. Great sitters!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 165 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Harwich Port. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Harwich Port sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Harwich Port landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Harwich Port 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 Harwich Port.
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.
You and your Harwich Port 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.
