“Caitlin was very responsive and accommodating with my last minute request to board Pippa. After a quick and successful meet and greet, Pippa stayed with Caitlin for 3 nights. She sent pics showing that she was happy and settled in. Pippa clearly enjoyed her stay with Caitlin's family. We will definitely ask Caitlin for future boarding needs!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Andrea and Bob are so great! This was our 2nd time using them for our trip to the Cape. This year in addition to our dog they watched last year, they also had our ‘new to us’ rescue pup who came with his own set of challenges. :-) Andrea and Bob were so patient and thoughtful in making sure he was comfortable and happy. From the moment you meet them you can tell they do indeed love all the dogs! I highly recommend them!”
“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😊🐕”
“Karen is a kind, caring person and I am so grateful we found her. She eased my worries leaving my new dog for the first time. Then when my travel plans went awry, she once again eased my concerns and went above and beyond the help care for our dog. Our dog was in great hands, and being well cared for while we were away. Thank you again! You are awesome!”
“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 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!”
“Caitlin is fantastic! This was the first time we left our dog since we adopted her in April. Caitlin called me shortly after we dropped her off to let us know that our dog was settling in well. She sent texts, photos and videos all weekend to keep us updated on how our dog was doing. Caitlin is just terrific and I would highly recommend her!”
“We cannot thank Chelsea enough for making room for Sophy on a very busy weekend! Sophy had a great time playing with Eida and was obviously taken care of with love. Chelsea sent fun and reassuring photos (she even captured Soph in mid-bounce) and was responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend Chelsea! Sophy will be a repeat visitor!”
“Millie had a terrific weekend. A shy dog, Maria took the time to integrate her into her family activities. She came back happy, bathed and exhausted from her weekend. Maria was also very accommodating with our schedule- we dropped off early and picked up earlier than planned. She was gracious and helpful. Maria also sent great pictures of Millie from her weekend - which were passed around the table at the graduation dinner.”
“Marc was fantastic. My little 13 year old, 9 lb. Maltese mix rescue had never been boarded anywhere before and stayed with Marc for a full week. Marc provided excellent care as well as updates and photos twice a day. I highly recommend him.”
“it was a wonderful experience using Michele to care of Coco. She kept us update with photos and text. She made us feel comfortable that Coco was in good hands. We will definitely use her again.”
“Izzy was absolutely amazing! My dog has anxiety and is reactive with other dogs but she was great with him. She kept me updated on how he was doing and any issues he had. She took wonderful care of Wally and I’ll absolutely be using her in the future. Genuinely my only complaint is that she doesn’t charge enough for the great service she gives!”
“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.”
“Emily and Caroline are kind and reliable. They took care of our dog, Lily, as if she was their own. They were flexible with pickup and drop off times and we felt at ease knowing that Lily had someone in the house with her during the day since Emily works from home. Lily also had a great time with their dog, Goose, and she came back to us happy and all tired out from playing with him. We will definitely book with them again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Yarmouth
Julie did a wonderful job watching our six month old puppy Valentino. He immediately fell in love with her backyard and quickly became pals with her black lab. We picked him up and he seemed happy and played out. He loved his weekend away! We would be Julie again at any time. :)
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!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of South Yarmouth sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which South Yarmouth landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
Tip: 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. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
