“Chelsea took care of my newly-adopted Mini Aussie Shepherd, who is always on "turbocharge." I came back to a very happy dog! I found Chelsea to be honest and simply a joy to work with. I will definitely trust her with my dog again anytime!”
“We left our two dogs with Caitlin, one of which is a fairly new and nervous new rescue. They both did great! Caitlin stayed in touch and sent pictures and they came home happily tired having had a great time. Caitlin wax also wonderfully flexible as our return time changed due to unexpected delays. We highly recommend Caitlin and her dog loving home.”
“This is the first time that we have left our dog Brady with someone who was not a friend or part of the family. I was a bit nervous but as soon as Brady and I met Andrea & Bob my anxiety was put to rest. Brady went right up to them and they were very loving towards him. He was there with them for almost two weeks and we received regular photos of him looking very happy and comfortable in his surroundings. When my husband picked him up, he said Brady didn't want to leave. We have booked another stay with them in a month and I am so grateful that we have found a place where we know Brady will be happy and safe. Thank you Andrea & Bob.”
“Karen was able to watch our furry gal at last minute notice. She was kind, flexible, and gave us updates through pictures. We appreciate her help and our pup came home happy.”
“Thank you so, so much again for the wonderful care! Our dog felt very comfortable and happy with you, and we had such a good feeling the entire time. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos — it was so nice to see how well everything was going. We will definitely book again very soon and can highly recommend this dogsitter!”
“WONDERFUL experience with Michele! Our dog was so comfortable with Michele. She was incredibly thorough in ensuring she had all the information needed to make our dog feel at home. I've never seen our dog this happy with another care giver. Highly recommend!”
“Madaket welcomed our dog (cavapoo) in and everything went extremely smoothly. She kept him as her own and we had a happy dog waiting for us after at the end of a week's vacation. Communication was very easy and we enjoyed some pics occasionally. No negative comments, I recommend Madaket for taking care of your dog!”
“Cindi watched my dog Nora for 5 days !! Each night she would send me a detailed message about their day together , which always put my mind at ease . Nora came home happy and relaxed . I would highly recommend Cindi to anyone !!!”
“I had to leave my very attached golden doodle overnight for the first time over the weekend when my sister was getting married. Julie offered to do a meet and greet a week ahead of time and immediately put my mind at ease! She is very welcoming ..even comfortable with my dog’s weird quirks (like trying to eat socks eek). It was great that she had a few dogs at once so they could play all day together as well. My dog had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was with my sister during such an important weekend. I highly recommend Julie. Especially if your dog needs friends to play with and a watchful person to make sure they don’t get into any trouble. :) Thank you so much Julie!”
“Kellie could not be kinder. She was fantastic with taking our new puppy to us as well as our 6 year old. Kellie sent pictures and kept me informed about the dogs. Kellie's home is beautiful clean and the fenced backyard is a fantastic bonus for the little one to run around. Truly such ease of mind to have them there with her and her husband.”
“Ryan and Leah were amazing sitters for our pup Hammy. It wws our first time using Rover, so we weren’t sure what to expect but the experience with Ryan (and Leah) was so great, they took Hammy on walks through the woods, cuddled with him at home, and generally just took amazing care, with photos and updates throughout. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!!!!!!”
“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.”
“Karen is a kind, caring person and I am so grateful we found her. She eased my worries leaving my new dog for the first time. Then when my travel plans went awry, she once again eased my concerns and went above and beyond the help care for our dog. Our dog was in great hands, and being well cared for while we were away. Thank you again! You are awesome!”
“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%!!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Sarah did an incredible job with Gus! He took to her and her husband quickly, and she was very communicative and sent multiple photos throughout the day with updates on how he was doing. It was really important to me to find someone experienced since Gus is a newly adopted dog, so really appreciated Sarah's close care.”
“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!”
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.

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 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 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.
91% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
