About: I’ve been taking care of pets of all kinds and needs ever since i’ve been able to. I often help out my neighbors with dog walks, playtime, and any last minute needs for their pets. I love creating special bonds with any type of dog and I have experience with a puppy and senior dog of my own. I am a student on break looking for a purposeful way to spend my free time and help out others! I am determined to be very flexible and make others needs fit into my schedule. I am comfortable taking your dog on walks on or off leash and exploring new areas. I love taking the time to keep dogs company, playtime with them, and understanding their needs.
“Alyssa helped us feel confident and happy for our first Rover experience. She communicated so well in advance, and then sent pics and comments after her visit with our pup. Would definitely recommend! Thank you!”
About: I have extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes. Growing up, my family had large dogs (90+ pounds) for almost all of my life. I have watched and pet-sat for dogs of all sizes in the past few years for neighbors and friends. I’ve recently moved back to the Massachusetts area after a travel-heavy job for the past few years, so no fur babies of my own yet! I look forward to re-exploring some of the wonderful walking trails the Cape offers with your furry friends! I’m currently working as a server part-time, so have plenty of time to play with, walk, and feed your dogs/cats. I am available for boarding or pet-sitting in your home most weeks, and for walks nearly every evening, plus morning and afternoon shifts every Tuesday and Wednesday. I have a large backyard and walking trails within a 10-minute walk from my house, perfect for leashed adventures! I do not have any pets in the house full-time, but may have my parent’s well-trained and friendly rescue in the house on occasional weekends.
About: Lifelong dog owner and new cat mom! Batman is my dog and is 10 y/o and 75+ lbs. Did primary care for him from COVID onward (feeding, walking, spending time with, etc.) I’ve also frequently pet sat for friends and family who are out of town. Other skills/ situations I’ve handled in the past: - Training reinforcement (dog should already know the skill and/or command) - Dogs with knee injuries - Dogs with separation anxiety - Giving medication - Potty training (limited) - Dogs who are too big to be lap dogs and haven’t realized it yet LOL I am also a cape local, so I’ve learned all the good walking spots around here If you have any questions, lmk! Currently on summer break before going to NYC for college in late August, so I’ve got plenty of free time before then! Weekly availability schedule as follows: S: 12-7pm M: 9am-12:30, 1:30-7pm T: 9am-12:30, 1:30-6pm W: 9am-12:30, 1:30-7pm Th: 9am-1:30pm F: 9am-12:30, 1:30-7pm S: 12-6pm *I may be able to schedule outside of available times with 1 week of notice, but can make no guarantees. Please contact me first if you’re looking for a time outside my typical hours. My pets follow feeding schedules, so that’s 100% something I can accommodate. I have handled pets with limited access to or from parts of homes before. My dog has walked on both a harness and a collar, so I have experience with both. Please leave a harness is clear view of that’s your preference. Crating is not something I do with my pets, but I am aware of how to if that’s something you’d like. I interned with an interior designer, so I am aware of home etiquette! My baseline is taking shoes off at the door, sticking to main areas (kitchen, living room, yard), not accepting or eating food, drinking from my own water bottle, and I’ll typically use the bathroom in my own home before I go to a client’s unless it’s an emergency. If any of that is different in your home or you want clarification I can absolutely do that, just let me know ahead of time! And I will NEVER give out an address, security code, or key location.
About: I have experience in large, medium and small dogs and cats. As a former worker at an animal hospital, I have of experience administering injections, and strict diets for senior pets. Also experienced in caring for young and energetic pets. I currently work from home and make my own schedule. So I’m often available most hours of the day for dog walks and feeding of all pets. I have much experience caring for all ages and sizes of dogs and cats, who require injections, inhalers and strict diets, or who are young and full of energy.
“Sarah was great, I would recommend her to other pet parents. She was responsive and friendly and send us daily updates with photos. Our cat Tsuki seemed happy and relaxed when we got home.”
About: A lifelong lover of animals of all kinds, I recently moved to the Cape with my 14 year old cat, Anya. I’ve had cats on and off my whole life, and for eleven wonderful years shared my life with a rabbit named Fiona. I have experience caring for special needs (Anya has IBD and Fiona was blind in her later years) and administering medications. I have enjoyed pet sitting for friends and neighbors, and am also a volunteer at a wildlife rescue where I help care for raptors, turtles, snakes, and an absolute queen of a porcupine. While I love dogs, I have less experience with them, so would be better fitted to smaller and/or calmer canines while I get some more experience under my belt. As an overprotective cat mom, I can assure you that I will care for your fur children as if they were my own, will follow your instructions to the letter, and will stay in communication with you so that you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your little ones. I’ve recently moved to the Cape and currently have lots of availability. I can currently not offer overnights, as I have my own fur child to care for, but would love to come for extended visits or walks! I will follow your instructions meticulously. I am used to caring for injured birds, so am extremely conscientious about making sure animals stay safe in their homes and on the leash.
“Rich did a great job caring for my 3 Huskies in my home. He is reliable, prompt and always communicated before and/or after each visit. I would definitely recommend Rich to care for pets.”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs which means not only do I have a lot of experience with dogs, but I have a special love for dogs as well. I can promise you that your dog will be safe and happy with me! I’m currently working part-time so I will be available on weekdays and some weekends from 9 am-6 pm. I am not available for boarding, but am always open to a drop-in or walk! I will make sure I know all the information needed before entering your home and interacting with your dog. I am reliable and am always free to talk about the best ways in which I can ensure a safe and comfortable experience for both you and your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a very young age. My family had 3 labradors growing up that I would feed, walk, and play with. Now my parents have a GSP that I help care for. I have watched my sister’s mix for many overnight stays. I’ve had a lot of experience caring for dogs while I was working babysitting jobs! I’m currently a teacher on summer break! So I’m looking forward to spending the next 3-4 weeks up here in on the Cape caring for dogs! I’m looking mostly for drop-in visits! I’d love to stop by and care for your doggies by playing, feeding or walking them. I’m a very gentle and loving person!
“Stefanie has been a wonderful sitter for my boy. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone looking for a reliable, professional pet sitter. She is personable and prompt in her responses.”
“Sadie was awesome!! I felt so comfortable leaving my fur baby I’m her hands this week. Know she was taking him along with the other dogs made me feel so happy and less guilty about not being home. I highly recommend anyone needing care for their dog you will not be disappointed ❤️”
“Caitlin was amazing! She communicated so well about everything that was going on during the 2 drop in visits for our dog. She even contacted me before the second drop in visit to ask if our dog was afraid of thunder & lightning. She’s also a great photographer & sent us cute pics of our dog! Highly recommend Caitlin!”
“Sarah took excellet care of my dog, cat, and the house, sent lots of pictures and communicated often. Very much appreciated because this was our first visit with Sarah so I'm always a little nervous. Would definintely book again.”
About: I have been a dog owner of all different breeds since childhood. I'm also a dog walker for the local community and enjoy every minute of it. I look forward to making some new furry friends and will treat them like my own. Please share as many details as you can about your pup, so I can care for them well. Thank you for your interest. I am self employed, so have plenty of flexibility for pup care. Although I cannot accommodate pups at my home, I can take them to the local beaches and trails. Car rides welcomed 🐶 I currently do not have the ability to house pups. For now my availability is strictly coming to the home for walks and/or pet sitting.

Nick did a great job taking care of our cat, Kazoo. He gave Kazoo his medicines as instructed and spent a little extra time with him. The litter boxes were cleaned as well. I forgot to stop the mail so he brought that in also. Nick is reliable and responsive to communications. And he is a cat lover …no complaints from the cat. 🐱

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harwich Port. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
