Dog Boarding South Yarmouth

“Caitlin was great. She was friendly, accommodating, has a great place, and most importantly, she took good care of our dog Abbie. I can absolutely recommend her.”

“I’m guilty of being a helicopter Mom. My dog is very attached to me and spoiled! Needless to say I was overly worried leaving Finn for 5 nights. Steve was amazing putting me to ease. He sent pictures and videos that clearly showed Finn both happy and comfortable. Finn will be a repeat customer:)”

“Julie was awesome with Walden! She’s had labs herself for many years so she welcomed him with open arms. He had a great time and would love to have her watch him again in the future. Thanks, Julie!”

Mona M.

“We adopted Igor very recently and we knew it would be asking a lot of him to board so quickly. They took such great care of him and his separation anxiety. I would not hesitate to bring Igor back for visits and stays in the future. Thank you again for being so kind!”

“Exceptional! This is our third time boarding our very senior pup, Fenway, at Caitlin's and we couldn't be more pleased! She is warm and friendly. Her passion is evident. We had never boarded our pup in someone else's home until we met Caitlin. What sold us was the reviews, which speak for themselves. Also important to us is her familiarity with senior pups as well as her animal CPR/First Aid certification. What REALLY sold us was when he was boarded there. We appreciate that someone is always home. Caitlin communicates regularly and sends pictures. She is very communicative. For all these reasons we highly recommend Caitlin.”

“Andrea and Bob truly went above and beyond watching my mini bernedoodle while I visited friends on the cape! She instantly felt at home in the yard and went on lots of adventures on the beach, a trail, and jeep rides! I was worried she would never want to leave. Penny was in heaven and hopes to be back soon!”

Angela G.

“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!”

Sarah M.

“Alyne was super responsive when it comes to booking as well as honest and responsible when taking care of our bulldog. I definitely recommend Alyne to others owners.”

Jennifer H.

“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.”

Julie V.

“Michele was great with Hazel! She was very communicative and sent picture updates throughout the day. She was very thorough in her questions before caring for Hazel, and made sure she knew everything she could to make Hazel comfortable during her stay. Overall, Michele was amazing and would highly recommend!”

Brittany B.

“So happy to have found Chelsea. She took amazing care of Potato and it wave us peace of mind knowing she’s had experience at a veterinarian office and fully understood his medical conditions. We visit the Cape frequently and will definitely be bringing him back to visit on our next trip.”

Max R.

“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 ?”

Larissa C.

“Clare is absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond in every way and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals in her charge, and we came home to one very happy pup. We will 100% be booking with Clare again and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: I have spent my entire life around dogs, but my professional experience sets me apart when it comes to reading and handling animals. For almost 3 years I worked as a Pet Care Specialist. I was responsible for the specialized daily care, behavioral monitoring, and medical treatment of all sorts of animals; birds, reptiles, small mammals, fish, etc. I am experienced and comfortable administering medication and recognizing signs of illness, in the case that you have a dog with specialized needs. Today, I work professionally as a dog groomer. Every day I work hands on with dogs of all sizes ages, and temperaments. Because of this, I have the experience and patience necessary to deal with anxiety prone dogs, high energy balls of chaos, puppies who haven't yet learned manners, and senior dogs who need gentle care. I'm confident I can meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be, and ensure their stay with me is as comfortable as possible. I'm also happy to provide my available grooming services if that's of any interest to you! I work 8 hour shifts at the grooming salon, and I am free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which gives me full, dedicated days to spend at home with your dog(s). For the days I am at work, a responsible family member will always be available at the house, to assist with potty breaks or just to hang out. Your pup will only ever be alone if they want to be. This allows me to provide boarding any day of the week! My home is fully equipped to be a safe, fun, and adaptable "home away from home" for your dog. Here is what you can expect during their stay: Secure & Spacious Play: We have a large, fenced backyard where your dog can safely run and play. We are located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood right next door to a large recreational field/park with a walking trail. For more adventurous pups, we also have excellent wooded trails nearby as well. Socialization & Companionship: My family will be more than happy to provide extra human interaction throughout the day if your dog is seeking it. We also have 2 friendly resident dogs (a gentle, senior Shih Tzu who mostly minds her own business, and a social English Pointer who will be happy to make new friends) and 2 cats who are well accustomed to dogs, but will mostly keep to themselves. Separation When Needed: While socialization is great, it's not for everyone. If your dog is anxious, or just feeling overwhelmed, I have my own private, dedicated space where they can get away from all the hubbub of the household, and enjoy some downtime. I am also fully able to accommodate crate-trained dogs if that's something they prefer. They are also more than welcome to share my furniture if they're more of a lap-dog type! As a professional pet handler, I promise to stay aware of your dog's body language and ensure they're recieving the best care possible. Their safety and peace of mind are my top priority.

“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.”

“Helena was great with our senior dachshund, Frankie! She obviously loves dogs and took fantastic care of him while we were away. Thank you!”

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.

“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.”
