About: Hello! I am open to dogs of all shapes, sizes and needs! I have many years of experience with having my own dog as well as taking care of family members dogs☺️ I live in a house in Buzzards Bay with a large yard and a quiet neighborhood for great long walks that I love to go on! I also live right across from the canal and it’s my favorite walking area to do. I love dogs and see them as if they were a child and love them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to fully attend to your dogs every need- plenty of exercise and attention! I have lots of availability to fit in all the needs of your dog that they may need! Morning, afternoon or nightly walks, play or over night care. My pets are greatly cared for in my home, I would also treat your fur baby as one of my own in your home or mine
“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.”


“Heather was awesome! Koozie was happy to go with her and sad when she had to go. Her dogs are awesome with other dogs and Heather clearly has great energy and experience with animals. We will be sure to use her again the next time we’re on the Cape”

“Kari was wonderful with Hazel. I could tell Hazel adjusted well and enjoyed her time with Kari and her family by the photos and updates Kari provided along the way. I would leave Hazel with Kari again knowing that she would be well cared for.”


“Scout was so well taken care of by Debra. She treated him like one of her family, and she took him on many adventures. I would highly recommend Debra to take care of your pets.”

“I am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”

“Ozzy seemed to have a great time at Anndrea’s! It was his first time staying overnight with someone other than my parents and I felt that he was in great hands. Anndrea sent daily photos and videos and I could tell he was settling in nicely which allowed me to enjoy my vacation! She was also very flexible when it came to drop off and pickup as well. I highly recommend Anndrea!”

“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 have had dogs my entire life and they are truly the best thing to ever happen to me. I am often called upon to dogsit when family & friends go out of town, I have lots of experience house/dog sitting and when the owners return they always are impressed with how their dog and home were taken care of. I have a rescue dog named Finley who is my whole world so you can rest assured I will treat your dog as my own and spoil them with lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I’m a teacher so weekends I’m always free and am usually always with my dog. I’m available most afternoons for drop in visits or to take your dog for a walk. Summers are also a time when I am completely free and would love to be able to care for your dog(s) while you enjoy a summer vacation! I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly hound mix dog to keep your dog company. She loves to play and wants to be friends with every dog we meet. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I have been dog walking since I was in the third grade after school. I would be payed 5 dollar to take out each of my neighbors dogs and I loved it. I continued to do this all through high school, I watched many of these dogs go from puppy’s to adults to now senior dogs. The older I got I would start to dog sit over night, and have plenty of experience around all sorts of dogs and there various night time routines! I am currently working a full remote job that’s very flexible, I am able to stop in and check on dogs throughout the day or even for a quick walk. I am also around durning the night time and early morning! I am an active person and can keep up with a high energy dog or puppy! but I also love a good couch potato, and cuddle sessions. Whatever your dog needs I am able to provide for them!
“Marc was AMAZING!!!! I don’t think it’s possible for me to say enough good things about him. After having a traumatic experience with a Rover watcher, I was honestly very nervous to trust anyone with my dog ever again. Mark restored my faith completely. Not only was he one of the kindest people I’ve met in a long time, he has an incredible heart for animals. He treated my pup like a treasured family member. My dog instantly loved him. But while I was gone he went out of his way to make sure she had the best day each day…play dates, went on adventure walks, cuddles! He was knowledgeable about dog traing and grooming (my dog came back soft and shiny.) He even bought her a very expensive chew toy, which he sent her home with. She actually cried a little when I took her home because she got so attached to Marc. I cannot recommend Marc highly enough.”


“Scout had a wonderful time at Jessica's house. He is a rescue, and is sometimes anxious, but she made him feel right at home. He even made a few doggie buddies along that way that he fun romping with. I'd definitely recommend Jessica to mind your furry family members. Kate and John and Scout”

“Great experience. I have left my shy rescue with Lisa several times, Lisa put her right at ease, and she has a good time hanging out and going for walks with Roscoe. Lisa has also been really flexible and said yes to a last minute request.”

“Jen and her family took excellent care of our dog while he was staying with them. She took him for walks, played frisbee and let him run with her dog all day long. Our lab loved it there! They were very friendly, sent lots of pictures and were easy to coordinate pick up and drop off with. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely be boarding our dog with her again. She was wonderful!”

About: Graduated from UNH class 2014 with a Bachelors in Zoology. Proud to have over 20 years of animal care. 15 years of multi pet ownership . ---Raised and trained 8 dogs from puppy to adult.

My family and I currently have two dogs and a lizard, so pet care is part of our daily routine, 24/7 365. My own dogs are walked daily and stimulated through play and training. When we are home as a family, the dogs are out with us enjoying life. When we are out of the house, they are either crated or secured in a room with fresh water. Safety/Security and respecting the animals are my core values. While the animals in my home are cared for like family, they are taught to respect boundaries and work for affection. In my care, pets are leashed unless they are in a secure, fenced area. I take the time to understand each animal is an individual who has unique needs. I cater my approach to each animal based on their specific demeanor.
