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. Im home the majority of the time. Cozy corner in my den for bed. Seems to be everyone’s favorite hangout. Living room has multiple Sunny-spots Several neighborhood walks a day and if dog and owner are willing, I go to Thompson’s field in Harwich where they can romp.
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.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all kinds—big, small, energetic, and everything in between! From Huskies to Pitbulls, I’m comfortable with every breed and always provide loving, respectful care. I work full-time during the week but am available for evening visits after 5:30 PM. Most Saturdays I’m available after 1:00 PM, and I’m fully available on Sundays. I’m very reliable and love keeping pet parents updated so you always feel comfortable and confident. While I don’t offer pet care in my own home, I’m happy to care for your pet(s) in the comfort of your home where they feel most safe and relaxed. I follow all care instructions closely and can accommodate feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also available for overnight stays if needed.
About: I've always had a furry friend and love all dogs. I've helped train working service dogs and worked in a puppy nursery caring for dog moms and their litters. I'm currently working part-time and have free time. I'm home all summer long and looking for ways to enjoy my day and do something I love to do. I have my own dog at home that is super friendly and live in a quiet neighborhood which is great for walks and meeting other people and their dogs.
“Karen made drop-in visits to care for my cat while I was on vacation. She came twice a day, early in the morning and again at dinnertime. She provided food, fresh water, changed the litter, and kept the areas clean. She also took away the used cans to recycle & took away the litter. The texts and photos were reassuring. I definitely recommend Karen. She was thorough and reliable.”
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring years of dedicated pet care experience to ensure your furry companions thrive. As a proud owner of two happy, healthy rescue dogs, I understand the importance of love, patience, and a safe environment in fostering their well-being. Your pets are not just animals; they're family, and I'm here to provide the care and attention they deserve. I am currently taking some time off from the 9 to 5 grind so I have a great deal of flexibility and willingness to accommodate your schedule! I have a large fenced in yard and a very dog- friendly home complete with strategically placed baby gates for any canine guests requiring space from my fur-babies ❤️
About: Dogs are pretty straightforward which I love. If they like or don’t like something they’ll let you know. More importantly is understanding their owners. Patience is key. You can get a dog to love you but to respect you is a different story. My full time job is 12:00-7:30pm. Days I dont work I’m 100% available to watch your pups all day if need be. I can take care of bathroom breaks at 11am and 7:30-8pm Pups that I care for get 110% of my attention. At the moment I’m available to take care of clients dogs within their homes. If it means overnights I’m more than happy to.
About: I’m a lifelong pet and dog lover with a 7 year-old female spayed lab, Ellie, of my own. I’ve cared for family, friends, and neighbor’s dogs for more than 25 years. My Ellie is very calm, friendly, highly socialised, and great with other dogs and children of all ages. I work from home and operate a licensed family daycare with success for more than 25 years. I have weekends off where I have plenty of time to take walks with my own dog and others. I am available for over night dog stays at that time also. My work area is separate, but I have a large fenced in yard with grass. My own dog plays with the children outside, but mostly stays upstairs when we are in. My Ellie often prefers the couch over her dog bed, and I’m fine with that. 😊 I have a completely fenced in backyard where the dogs get plenty of fresh air and exercise, but are never outside alone. My dog Ellie loves playing with other dogs and has a portable ‘doggy pool’ when it’s hot and plenty of shade. If your dog enjoys the comfort of their crate or special bed, feel free to bring them along.Home also has central air to keep your fury ones cool.All drop off and pick ups has to be by 7PM
“I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Caitlin. I needed a last-minute drop in as our plans had suddenly changed and I’m so happy we chose Caitlin. She was responsive, flexible, prompt, and catered to about 14 special requests. She kept us updated during her entire stay and sent ADORABLE pictures and videos. If you’re looking for a responsible, kind, dog-loving person to help you out, look no further! Our dogs LOVED her, too!”
About: I have cared for pets my whole life and frequently care for friend’s pets when needed. I have a home in Yarmouth, work remotely full time and always open to caring for pets in their own home if preferred. I have an amazing cat of my own that loves other animals. I also have a 16 year old daughter that has helped raise dogs & cats since she was a baby. I look forward to connecting with you and caring for your fur baby! I currently have a work from home schedule, Monday through Friday with flexible availability for pet care in between. I own my home in Yarmouth. I have a very big yard with a runner for pups that enjoy being outside. I have the ability to keep kitties indoors if preferred. Plenty of space in my home to care for pets.
About: I have been entrusted by family and friends to watch over and care for their pets. My care includes feeding, walking, taking out to potty, and cuddles :) I am able to pop in before and after work to check on your fur baby :) I have more open availability on the weekends and will be able to spend more time with your dog/cat. What you say goes! Please leave me a detailed list of how you would like care to go in your absence and I will follow through.
“On short notice, Chelsea recently took care of Cape Cod’s newest “wash-a-shore” cats, Humpty Dumpty & Red. Right from her initial visit, I knew that I had hired someone who was not only professional & knowledgeable, but was also passionate about caring for animals! My cats & I highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter!”
“Zuzana was fantastic with my high energy puppy! She was always punctual and great communicating about her visit. My dog was always calm and relaxed when I returned home hours after her visit, and I could see he loved his walks with her.”
“Sharon was great! Our dogs were happy and safe when we got home. We were super grateful that she could accommodate our timing and for giving us local guidance on travel times. Sharon clearly loves dogs and is a true find!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 which is when I got my first puppy! Family and friends have always relied on me to walk, feed and play with their furry friends as they were away for work or vacation. During my senior year in high school, my senior project was dedicated to fight animal cruelty. For 9 months, I volunteered for an animal shelter where I used to play and take care of the dogs, as well as initiated fundraisers to help local shelters. I’m currently working full time from Monday-Friday, however I can accommodate my schedule to provide the best experience for you and your furry friend! I am available from Monday-Friday starting from 5pm for drop off visits or walks/play dates. I am also available on the weekends at any time. Care for your little friend will be provided according to client’s request/directions. Only on leash walks will be provided for the safety of your pet 🙂 If allowed, we can go for dog park visits and trail walks. Prior to our walks/drop in visits, I would love to set a time to meet you and your dog, so we can familiarize with each other and provide the most comfortable experience!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats my whole life. I have also managed a boarding kennel and doggy daycare where I worked for many years. I am available to walk your pup around your neighborhood and I am able to stop in and visit with your dog or cat whenever you need! I have experience caring for more than 25 dogs at once. I am very well trained in making sure dogs are having fun playing, while still be safe.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Harwich Port stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Harwich Port choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Harwich Port with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
