“Caitlin was great to work with and took wonderful care of our pup Lucy. She was very responsive and made sure to provide daily updates with pictures on how things were going. We would definitely use Caitlin again for any boarding needs.”
“Once again we counted on Caitlin to watch our Shelby when we needed to take a last-minute trip. Within a few hours we received the first picture of our puppy playing happily! Always makes you feel comfortable knowing your pet is well count cared for and Caitlin is the girl to do it! So accommodating and such a dog lover – anyone would feel comfortable leaving their precious family member with her!”
“We loved that Karen sent pictures of our Casey every day! It was fun to see Casey enjoying herself with the other dogs there too. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing Casey was in good hands with Karen. We’ll definitely be calling on Karen again when we need a great sitter in the future! Thank you again😊🐕”
“Alyne is a very chill individual and undoubtedly a dog person. The minute my 3-yr-old Lab got out of the car, she ran straight to her. And, while my dog is friendly like many retrievers, she's usually pretty cautious w strangers. Also, her large, completely fenced-in yard was perfect for my dog, whose strong preference is to be outside. I will definitely re-book.”
“Cindi is an absolute professional; she is very communicative and organized. Her house is clean and she only takes one family at a time so that she can give your dog(s) all the attention and care that they individually need. A wonderful experience and we look forward to using her again!”
“I would give them 10 stars if that were possible! We were so pleased with Andrea and Bob and the wonderful care they gave our 11 yr old Rhody boy while we were away. We felt confident that he was in good hands every day and appreciated that they sent us lots of photos, too. I recommend them highly and will definitely look them up when we plan our next trip! Really nice folks. Very accommodating. We appreciated their extra efforts. Especially since this was a family emergency type trip with short notice.”
“I was very satisfied with Ryan's care of our dog. He communicated constantly before, during, and after the boarding to alleviate any confusion. He was also considerate in making her feel comfortable in her new environment. I appreciated that Ryan offered to give a a wash and nail trimming at a very affordable rate. This I thought set Ryan apart from other people that we have had watch our dog. We will certainly rebook with Ryan next time we are in the area.”
“Casey always has a blast at Michele's house and returns home tired and happy. She is warm, caring and loves dogs... truly the perfect person to care for our dog when needed. Thanks Michele!”
“I’m so happy we found Karen, she takes such amazing care of our Goldie and sends us lots of updates. It definitely calms our anxiety (which is high!!) when we have to leave her! It’s also such a relief that Goldie has Juni to hang out with, such a sweet girl.”
“I had to leave my very attached golden doodle overnight for the first time over the weekend when my sister was getting married. Julie offered to do a meet and greet a week ahead of time and immediately put my mind at ease! She is very welcoming ..even comfortable with my dog’s weird quirks (like trying to eat socks eek). It was great that she had a few dogs at once so they could play all day together as well. My dog had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was with my sister during such an important weekend. I highly recommend Julie. Especially if your dog needs friends to play with and a watchful person to make sure they don’t get into any trouble. :) Thank you so much Julie!”
“Madaket was fantastic, we arrived at the property and my dog Olympia started sprinting around with her dog Millie. The property was also very large, which gave Olympia plenty of room to enjoy herself. Madaket sent several pictures and videos throughout the day. There is nothing better than feeling confident that your dog doesn’t miss you because you know they are having such a good time ?! I’d be happy to leave Olympia there any time! Plus she gave Olympia a little blue bandana ?”
“I felt completely safe and secure leaving my Australian terrier with Kari for a couple of nights. She sent lots of updates and pictures, which was great since it was his first time at her house. He was happy as a clam and made himself right at home! I will for sure ask Kari whenever I am in need of a sitter!”
“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.”
“Ollie had the best time! Katie and Jessie were patient as Ollie warmed up, they took him to the beach and on a boat ride. Overall they treated him like their own pet and Ollie seemed happy. They sent multiple photos each day and were very responsive. Great sitters!”
“Jenny took care of Ace within last minute need. She was amazing. Ace liked her from the moment he met her. She kept me in the loop about how Ace is doing and send pictures Proffesional and kind. Thanks Jenny See you in the summer.”
“Rob was absolutely perfect. My dog Prince stayed for a entire week and was extremely well taken care of and happy. I would definitely use Rob again whenever I need someone I know I can trust to look after my dog. Thanks!”
“Sally was fantastic!! We are incredibly pleased by her service. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures. Sally was flexible to adjusting the pickup to be one hour earlier which was very kind. She is personable, friendly, communicative, and compassionate. Even though it was a rainy weekend she still made sure our puppy had outdoor time and even took her for a beach walk. Thank you for everything Sally!”
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. I’m home the majority of the time. Cozy corner in my den seems to be everyone’s favorite hangout and spot for their bed. The ilving room has multiple sunny spots for napping throughout the day. We will take several neighborhood walks a day and if dog and owner are willing, I go to Thompson’s field in Harwich where they can romp.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in South Yarmouth is $70

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South Yarmouth home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your South Yarmouth.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your South Yarmouth sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
