“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!”
“I had a great experience with Louis! He took amazing care of my dog during boarding—sent daily photos, kept me updated, and was super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog, Emmy, stayed with Shannon for three nights and wow-what a great experience! I felt an instant sense of calm entering her home. Shannon and her partner welcomed Emmy as if she was their own. In only a few days, they both formed a close bond with her, as well as quickly familiarized themselves with Emmy’s quirky behavior. Shannon was able to manage Emmy’s medication and food preferences along with her anxious tendencies and hostile reactions to other dogs. We will definitely be rebooking with Shannon!”
“Wonderful experience! Maria is so warm and caring. She paid close attention to Rosie's needs and quirks. The dogs got outside for fun walks. Maria's home is enchanting with plenty of outdoor space. So happy to have found a sitter on the Cape that I can have absolute confidence leaving my girl dog. Rosie was very comfortable there, and I hope we can return soon. Thank you so much!”
“Anna was amazing! She was so flexible with timing and easy to get a hold of. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated! My pup seemed very comfortable and safe with her!! I would definitely recommend Anna!”
“My dogs stay with Mike was awesome! Mike is very responsive, sent photos early in my dogs stay so I knew that my dogs had transitioned well. I have 2 Cavapoochons who loved hanging with Mike's dog Bubba in his big back yard. My dogs came home happy and tired, as if they were in doggie daycare playing all day! Mike's home location is very convenient to the highway making drop off and pick up very easy. I appreciate Mike's reasonable rates, super environment for dogs, and his approach and great care of my dogs. Ellie and Dexter can't wait to go back!”
“Marc is everything I hoped for in a dog sitter! He was very welcoming when we first set time aside to meet and make sure it was a good fit (i had no doubts to begin with). We have two dogs and our girl Mila is 8 months. We were away for two nights and this was her first time overnight at another home. What I loved is that Marc kept us updated with pictures and descriptions of their day. He took the dogs on walks every morning, he has a great yard for them to run around and play, he even brushed them and they came back to us smelling amazing! Another great point to make is that he gives them his full attention and they are never left alone. This was very important to me especially with our young one. My older pup is very used to travel and new spaces but I still need the peace of mind knowing he is getting the attention he needs. I would recommend Marc for anyone looking for dog sitting/boarding and will absolutely be using his services again in the future!! It is worth every single penny to know your fur babies are safe and in the best possible care!”
“Debra is amazing! My golden doodle had the best time staying with her, her five dogs, and some other dogs she was watching. She has a huge backyard that is perfect for the dogs to run around and have a blast together. Thanks so much Debra!”
“Karen took great care of our dog Dempsey. Great communication and lots of pictures. I will definitely book a stay there again. Strongly recommend her if you are going to the Cape beaches during the summer when dogs aren’t allowed.”
“Adrienne took great care of Stella! I could tell Stella was very comfortable with her. Adrienne was super easy to work with and flexible with our crazy travel schedule. Highly recommended for overnight stays, Stella will definitely be staying with her again!”
“Debra provided an outstanding stay for our fifteen year old dog, Rudy. She provided numerous updates and photos to assure us that all was well as we traveled abroad. She was able to easily handle the requirements of caring for a senior dog.”
“Jen and Jon were wonderful sitters for our dog. This was the first time leaving her with a sitter and they made me feel very comfortable. I could tell Tootsie was well taken care of and receiving lots of love with each daily update. Drop off and pick up was easy and Jen responded quickly to any questions I had.”
“Laura was a great sitter for my 4lb poodle, Weston. From the start, she was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced. Weston can be a bit timid, but he felt comfortable with her right away — which gave me so much peace of mind. She kept in touch throughout his stay with thoughtful updates and sweet photos, and it was clear he was in caring hands the entire time. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Laura and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”
About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover my whole life, with over 8 years of experience caring for my own pets. While in college, I regularly walked dogs and provided sitting services for friends, neighbors, and local families. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, and I pride myself on noticing the little details—whether it’s a change in behavior, a favorite toy, or a special dietary need. Animals respond to genuine care, and I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. I currently work remotely from 9 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday, which allows me to be home and attentive to pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits before 9 AM and after 6 PM on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends for boarding or daytime care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine—I love having furry companions around while I work and always make time for play, cuddles, and outdoor breaks. I work remotely full-time, so I’m home and available to supervise pets throughout the day. I share my space with four well-behaved cats who are used to a calm, cozy environment and enjoy having company. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-safe, with plenty of sunny spots and enrichment for feline guests. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine, monitoring interactions, and creating a stress-free space.
“We were total strangers in a last minute bind, and Erin stepped up without hesitation. Not only did she take incredible care of our dog, but they also gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Reliable, kind, and truly great with our pup; can’t recommend highly enough!”
About: Ever since I was little I have always loved dogs. I’ve always done pet sitting and walking for family and friends but now I want to make a career out of it. I also do basic grooming and I do different types of dog training such as agility training, basic puppy training, and some behavioral training too! I’m very flexible and available to fit people’s schedules. I can do Monday- Friday until 6pm and weekends are pretty flexible to accommodate your needs! I offer in home pet sitting for your pets so your pets can stay as comfortable and stress free as possible while their owners are away

I am very very grateful Heather cares for Charlie through Rover. Charlie has been going there when I have needed care for him for the three years I have owned him. She and her family are very kind to him. I feel completely secure about having him with her. Though he is tightly bonded to me, he is very excited to go to her house. She sends photos. Heather is so easy to work with in every way.
