“Karen and her daughter were amazing. I interviewed several people and found Karen to be super personable. I was worried about leaving my pup somewhere since we take him every where. I knew that a facility was not what I wanted and hoped to find a in home setting for him. After speaking to Karen and her daughter, I felt super comfortable with them. I realized they were an hour away but that didn’t matter. I drove up and felt extremely welcomed there when I walked in that door. Winston made himself right at home. I received lots of updates and pictures from Karen. Also, I got EVERYTHING BACK and was all organized as I left it. I am returning in a few weeks and have already booked with Karen again!”
“Caitlin and her family were sure to make Aila feel right at home during her 5 night stay. Every picture update Aila looked comfortable, happy, and having so much fun. Caitlin was flexible with drop off and pick up times and provided timely responses/updates on Aila throughout her stay. I highly recommend her as a sitter!”

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.

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!
“Ann was great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and communication was great for the overnight. You could tell Philly was comfortable the whole time. Will absolutely book again.”
About: About Me Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a house full of animals—sometimes five dogs at once, ranging from a St. Bernard to Chihuahuas, along with pot-bellied pigs, macaw parrots, hamsters, bunnies, cats, finches, and plenty more. Needless to say, caring for animals has always been second nature to me! I was also a vet tech in college, which gave me hands-on experience caring for animals and a deeper understanding of their health, safety, and individual needs. Most recently, I became an approved foster home with Sandy Paws, which has been incredibly rewarding. My home currently includes quite the crew: Barbara Ann, my Persian cat; Pearl and Mabel, my two Boston Terriers; Taco, my bearded dragon; and Dunkin, my Polish Dwarf rabbit. I even have a koi pond! When your pet stays with me, their safety comes first. Dogs are on a leash 100% of the time when outside, and our cat never go outdoors. I also have a dedicated, private area where a dog can eat if they prefer to have their own space. I am happy to follow your pup’s exact feeding schedule and will stick closely to your instructions, including meal times, portions, medications, treats, or any other routine that helps them feel comfortable. I also take cleanliness seriously. I have a dedicated pet shower on my lower level, so after a fun stay, I can make sure your pup heads home happy, fresh, clean and squeaky clean! For the safety and comfort of every pet in my home, I do require a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay. This gives me a chance to meet you and your pup, learn about their personality and routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. My home is truly a place where animals are loved, cared for and treated like family. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while they’re with me. It is really the best part of my day, every day! All of my pets are on a schedule that I know like the back of our paws. Upon waking up I take turns letting the dogs outside, feeding them, giving fresh water and then play time. My cat likes to tell me that it is feeding time so I follow her to the dish. I am not fenced so I make sure ALL dogs are 100% leashed when going outside. I have a very large yard for playing and a very private driveway and street to walk them. My house is a safe space for all of the animals to free roam but also have privacy when they need it. The downstairs bathroom has my "pet spa" and then the laundry room is filled with light and a linoleum floor in case any accidents or spills happen. I can feed the animal in there as well. If I am visiting your fur baby in your home, I will treat your house with as much love and respect as I do my own.
“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.”
“Hanna took excellent care of our Goldendoodle Winston. She was very quick to respond to my inquiries and provided great updates on how Winston was doing. Highly recommend Hanna for dog care!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I’ve had dogs of my own, including a Black Labrador and a German Shepherd, and I’ve always had cats as well. I’ve also occasionally cared for other people’s dogs, so I understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re part of my own family! 🐾❤️ I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available for boarding throughout the week and can provide a loving, attentive environment where your pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I will always be present with the animals during boarding, so your fur babies won’t be left alone without supervision. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll make sure their daily routines, feeding schedules, and individual needs are followed so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, responsible hands! 🐶🐱❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I have a separate room available for pets who need their own space, including dogs who require crating or are still working on their training. I want every animal to feel comfortable and secure, so I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and routines. For well-trained dogs, my home is a welcoming environment where they’ll be treated like part of the family, with plenty of love, attention, and opportunities to relax. I also have a fenced-in grassy area where dogs can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time off-leash. For walks, I live on a long secluded road near the beach, where I can take them to get fresh air, exercise, and enjoy exploring their surroundings on a leash. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I’m committed to providing a safe, clean, and loving environment tailored to each one. My goal is for your pets to feel right at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re being cared for responsibly! 🐾❤️

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 October 2026, there are 161 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Harwich Port can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Harwich Port 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.
- 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 , 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 .
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.
