Pet Boarding Harwich Port

“Harriet’s place...Ryder Beach Farm is a great location for our Cape Cod vacation. Being border collies, we loved being around all the other animals...donkeys, chickens, geese, goats, cats and dogs. We were on vacation so we kept our herding to a minimum. Accommodations were excellent...comfortable places to lie down, plenty of things to chew on and an occasional walk on the beach that included a stick for each of us. We plan to come back again and again. Thanks so much Harriet!”

“Maria took wonderful care of Nori. She met for a meet and greet in advance and took the time to learn about his needs and answer all our questions. During his stay, she sent great updates with lots of photos of Nori enjoying himself. He came home a happy pup. We would absolutely board Nori with Maria again.”

About: Hi! We’re a dependable, dog-loving family offering in-home dog boarding and dog sitting on Cape Cod. If you’re looking for a safe, attentive, and comfortable home for your dog while you’re away, you’ve found it. We both work from home, so your dog will never be alone. We have a small, friendly Labradoodle who loves other dogs and is very used to sharing his space. Because of that, visiting dogs typically adjust quickly and feel right at home here. We’ve cared for many friends’ dogs over the years, including puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. We’re comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, from active dogs who need lots of playtime and walks to more relaxed dogs who just want a calm, cozy environment. We have used pet sitters several times for our own travels, so we know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved fur baby with a stranger. We will make your dog one of our family and give you regular updates, including photos. We know how important it is to trust who you leave your dog with. Our goal is simple: make your dog feel safe, happy, and cared for, so you can relax while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet & greet—we’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine because we both work from home full-time. This allows us to build our day around the dogs in our care rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Our typical day includes morning potty breaks and walks, followed by a relaxed workday where dogs have plenty of supervision, companionship, and opportunities to go outside as needed. We take breaks throughout the day for playtime, short walks, and attention, depending on each dog’s energy level and routine. In the evenings, we usually incorporate longer walks, playtime, or wind-down time, making sure dogs are settled and comfortable before bedtime. Because dogs are part of our home environment, they’re included in our daily rhythm—not treated as an afterthought. On weekends, we’re generally home and maintain a similar routine, with even more flexibility for walks, outdoor time, and one-on-one attention. Overall, having dogs in our care is something we genuinely enjoy and prioritize, and our schedule allows us to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and week. We care for every dog as if they’re our own, with a focus on keeping their routine consistent, their environment safe, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Before any stay, we take time to understand your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any quirks or preferences—so we can mirror what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. In our home, dogs get: Plenty of supervision (we both work from home, so they’re rarely alone) Regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime based on their energy level A calm, safe environment with space to relax or socialize Lots of attention and affection throughout the day We’re also comfortable administering basic medications if needed and following any specific care instructions you provide.

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

Jacob S.

“Gianna was wonderful! Took great care of our older lab. Easy drop off and pickup, great communication, treated our dog like part of the family. Will use her again for our next trip.”

About: i'm great with pets as I've had them my whole life. I love to hang out with them and go outside to play fetch etc. as of now i have no other job so im completely free to give my full undivided attention & support to your furry friends! :) I have a 2yr old super sweet loving golden retriever at home named Winnie & a fenced in backyard where we play and go potty!

“Emily and Caroline are kind and reliable. They took care of our dog, Lily, as if she was their own. They were flexible with pickup and drop off times and we felt at ease knowing that Lily had someone in the house with her during the day since Emily works from home. Lily also had a great time with their dog, Goose, and she came back to us happy and all tired out from playing with him. We will definitely book with them again in the future!”

“Isabella was very kind, took care of our dogs, and kept us in the loop our whole week long trip with pictures. We are for sure going to try and book with her for all of our upcoming trips!”

“Yuxuan was excellent with my seven year old, high energy dog. I was put at ease with the many pictures I received from her stay. I would definitely work with Yuxuan again!”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Helena! This was my first time leaving my rescue pup with anyone, and she made it so easy! She sent me daily updates and even dropped Lexi off at my place for me bc I was sick and late to pick her up. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.”

“Jacqueline was wonderful with both of our dogs! She treated them like family, sent pics and videos and provided great care. Not having to worry about our fur babies made our trip even better. Her home is super dog friendly including a safe and spacious fenced in yard. I recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her dog hospitality and for my dogs again in the future. Superb!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs prior to having kids, in my early 20’s. Summer residents and Nantucket residents where we resided before relied on me to walk and dog sit their pets. I’m currently home full time with my two boys. My oldest will be going into kindergarten in the fall and my youngest will be going to daycare part time and be home home with me the majority so I’m available/flexible. I am responsible and very protective of my kids along with clients pets. I do not have a fenced in yard but I would love to take your pet for nice long walks during the days on leash.

“Deb, was very professional and welcoming to myself and Luna. Her home is an extremely dog friendly and safe. Her yard is large enclosed by a large fence, with tons a space for any and all dogs to explore, play and just be a dog. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone looking for a safe, well organized dog friendly place to stay while away. I will be using Deb for all my future dog sitting needs.”

“Christian was absolutely fantastic taking care of Aspen! We were away in France and had no worries about our pet because we were constantly updated with messages, photos, and check ins about Aspen's status. This is very reassuring as an owner.
