“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.”
“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.”
“Total rock star sitter - could not recommend Kari any more highly! This was only Sadie‘s second time boarding in someone else’s home without me…I learned from my first experience that Sadie does not do great with other pets in the house… and, even though Kari’s was pet free, I was still trepidatious about trying another boarding situation in a strange (to my pup) home. My fears were immediately alleviated upon meeting and seeing Kari interact with Sadie and how she let Sadie explore around her wonderful home. Physical relief was all I felt when I left Sadie with her. Kari kept me informed each day with reports and pictures of what she and Sadie were doing, and I was never worried that Sadie was anxious or anything but completely comfortable. Seriously will make sure that Kari is available anytime I plan anything where I need to leave Sadie with someone for any reason! I think my girl had a great time and definitely was very well cared for. Cannot thank Kari and her family enough! ❤️❤️❤️”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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😊🐕”
“Maria took wonderful care of Nori. She met for a meet and greet in advance and took the time to learn about his needs and answer all our questions. During his stay, she sent great updates with lots of photos of Nori enjoying himself. He came home a happy pup. We would absolutely board Nori with Maria again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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 ?”
“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!”
“Isabella was very kind, took care of our dogs, and kept us in the loop our whole week long trip with pictures. We are for sure going to try and book with her for all of our upcoming trips!”
“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!”
“We rarely leave our dog with any sitter so I was a bit nervous leaving him overnight for a recent out of town wedding. Chelsea could not have been kinder or more pleasant when I contacted her through Rover. We needed her to pick him up early on a holiday weekend and she was so pleasant and flexible in accommodating us. When we picked Toby up when we returned, he was happy and calm and seemed like he had a great stay. We would definitely use Chelsea again and would recommend her to others.”
“Patty and Roxie had a great weekend staying with Mike. I received multiple photos and updates on the good time my dogs had. The large fenced yard was great for my dogs to play with Mikes dogs”

“Kelly did an awesome job of taking care of my two cats while I was away. She provided plenty of TLC and sent pictures and detailed updates every day. I highly recommend Kelly and will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks so much Kelly!”
“Cecilia was so sweet and communicative about our precious love kitty ‘Lucia’ while we were gone. We got such a kick out of the updates and it made us feel so much better knowing everything at home was a-ok.”
“Elizabeth was great! My husband and I went on vacation and she took care of my 13 year old cat, Daisy for 10 days. She went out of her way to assure me that Daisy was safe and well taken care of during our time away. I will absolutely contact Elizabeth again if we need her services!”
“I have used Stefanie quite a few times now, and she never disappoints. I have no hesitation in recommending her to pet sit. I have total peace of mind entrusting my cat to her care. She is fantastic!”
About: I currently work at an animal hospital, so I’m used to taking care of both cats and dogs. My own dog was diabetic so I’m used to administering insulin shots. I especially love being active with animals such as long walks and lots of playtime! I am currently working 4 days a week, usually until after 7:30, but I do have weekends off. I’m free most weekends and most tuesdays! I follow whatever directions are specific to each animal and home as I’m very comfortable with most animals and aim to provide the best service possible. I grew up with a dog and currently have a cat so I understand needing someone reliable to take care of your fur baby or babies.
“Julie is great with my pups! She gave the 10 week old puppy the extra care and attention he needed while also giving my 5 year old dog tons of love and affection! We can’t wait to see her again!”
“Emma is fantastic! On very short notice, Emma agreed to do drop in visits with my two Golden’s in the very early morning and at night. The pups look so happy to see her in every picture on their report card. Thank you Emma!”
“Sarah was punctual and took wonderful care of Penny and Pepper (aka pippa). She put my mind at ease with regular updates and snapshots which I loved! I definitely recommend her and plan to book with her again.”
“Olivia is great. She had a minor emergency when she first arrived. Contacted me immediately and we were able to resolve the issue quickly. Am looking forward to her taking care of our cat again next month..”

“Marc was amazing providing friendly home care to our Dog. Our Dog had wonderful time while staying at Marc by playing in his backyard with his Dog and fun time on lake. Thank you for taking care of our furbaby. We truly recommend his service & appreciate it.”
About: I have 2 years experience doing rover. I grew up with dogs my entire life and I have experience taking care of a wide variety of breeds. I will walk your dog in the morning//mid day// and evening. I will be sure it is let out consistently for potty breaks 3-4 times daily. I live in an apartment that is dog friendly. The neighborhood also provides access to safe and dog friendly sidewalks where I can take your pup.
“Our little pup had such a fun day! Loved seeing pictures and a video of him playing with his new friends. He was exhausted when he got home. Ate dinner and curled up to sleep. It was a good day! So appreciative of the wonderful care and will definitely be back! 🐾😊🤍”
“I enjoyed meeting Peter. He took care of my pup, Chip, and provided him with a home and a play pal for the day. Chip was happy and I was able to relax and enjoy my event. Peter provided me with peace of mind knowing that my Chip was in good hands. That’s all a dog parent can ask for. Thank you kindly, Peter. Hope to see you and Scooby again soon! Hugs, Chip and Eris”
“Emily was amazing- Hazel had the best time and they were clearly fast friends! She was responsive and asked all the right questions. She clearly loves dogs! She took hazel for multiple walks and texted me updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!!! She is the best!”
“So thankful for Helena and her cat! My lil guy Guinness had a wonderful day playing and walking and fetching. Happy to be dropped off, happy after I picked him up. Thank you Helena!! Will hit you up next time I’m on the cape with Guinness for sure.”
“Abby was so amazing!!! I work long hours at the hospital and she not only picked my dog up from my apt but went above and beyond, taking my dog to the dog park and the beach! She sent multiple updates throughout the day. She was also easy to reach, very responsive, and friendly. I would highly recommend Abby to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Oliver had a wonderful time spending the day with Alison. I appreciate her last minute accommodations and flexibility. You guys were wonderful, thank you for taking great care of Ollie.”
“This was our dog’s first visit to Maria and he did great playing with the other dogs for the day. We felt very confident all day knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely ask her again and we really appreciate her help!”
“Chelsea watched our miniature schnauzer mix for a day and she was absolutely wonderful with him. She was very responsive and flexible, and made the whole process so easy. When we went to pick up our pup, he looked so content just sitting in her arms, and he NEVER sits still. We will call upon Chelsea again in the future, no hesitation!”
“It was the first time we left our dog with a sitter and we couldn't be more pleased! Andrea and Bob took the time to get to know our Buddy before the first visit which was very comforting. And we loved the updates we received throughout the day. Looking forward to booking with them again!”
About: Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m thrilled to meet your canine, feline, or even small animal best friend. Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I’ve also fostered cats, boarded dogs, and taken courses in animal behavior and cognition, giving me a solid foundation in understanding pets’ needs. I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible and personalized care for your pet. Whether it’s walks to a nearby park, playtime or adhering to your pet’s specific routine, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels at home. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or last-minute help, my flexible schedule allows me to provide the attention your pet deserves. Weekends and holidays? No problem—I’m here for you! Happy to take care of your pet the way you need (e.g., crate, no crate, bathroom outings every 2 hours, scheduled meals, etc.). I’m very flexible and will work with you on any special requests.
“Kathleen was a delight for me and my dog. It was a last-minute booking. So having never met my dog before drop-off, she took time for my dog to get comfortable with her before I left. And then she sent almost a dozen pictures and videos while I was away for about seven hours. She also sent several updates (and compliments) about my dog, so I didn’t even have to wonder if everything was going well. She obviously loves dogs.”
“Melissa took great care of our Mandy who is a senior dog and needs a little extra help. She was great in letting us know how Mandy was doing and we greatly appreciate Melissa’s communication.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Cindi through Rover while vacationing in Cape Cod. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make Finnegan feel comfortable and loved. She arranged a meet and greet a few days before the drop-off, during which she asked thoughtful questions and took notes on Finnegan’s preferences, showing her genuine care and attention to detail. Despite the less-than-ideal weather, Cindi took Finnegan on multiple walks, demonstrating her dedication and love for dogs. Throughout his stay, she kept us wonderfully updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected even from afar. When it was time to pick him up, Finnegan ran right to her door like he owned the place a clear sign of how happy and comfortable he was with her. We will definitely be using Cindi again and highly recommend her to other dog owners looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter.”
About: I have take care of animals for over 2 decades. Pups are my favorite and I also have chickens and volunteers with horses on a local farm. I respect nature and appreciate what great companions animals are for us humans. I treat them as family members. I had 3 dogs from puppies to their senior age and understand all stages of dog lives. I can play, socialize, train puppies. Walk fast pace with athletic dogs or slow down for littles or seniors. I can give medicine and keep an eye on health any conditions. I have 10yo son who is a huge dog lover and helps out with our dog and chickens and also does barn chores at the farm. I feel so blessed we both feel the same love for all creatures on Earth. I currently work from home, so your pup(s) will have a companion most of the time. I also go on 2-3 walks a day and we have a nice private yard for additional play and relax. We have a private yard, one friendly 2yo Boston terrier who has proven to be more than a gracious host to all sorts of furry visitors. He naturally accepts their energy if they want to play or are shy and need time. We also had some rescues and traumatized pets and Gizmo proved to a respectful companion. He is the reason I love pups and want them to have the most fantastic time in our home.

About: I have experience as a veterinary assistant, and have worked with so many different animals! I have lots of hands-on experience and knowledge of animal health and care. I have worked with a doggy daycare as well and loved every second. I know how important it is to find a pet sitter that really cares! I can go on long or short walks depending on the dog’s ability. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs, so I know the different activity levels. If away, I will make sure your animal is eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom normally, and I will always let the owner know if something seems wrong. I will also gladly send pictures when asked! Can administer medication. I am also fully insured! I will always make sure pets are safe and secure when leaving homes. I can crate dogs if ever needed. I will feed on schedule and go on walks accordingly. I will follow all protocols given by owners, and I will clean up messes from the animals if that ever happens. Your pet will be in good hands, and if anything seems wrong with the animal while you are gone, I will call the owner or, in case of an emergency, bring she/him to the vet. I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to play with your animals! I am available on weekends and weekdays. I am always willing to fit you in around my open schedule! I provide attentive care tailored to your pet's needs. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I maintain a clean and safe environment, ensuring your pet's comfort and well-being at all times.
“Elizabeth was fantastic! We felt guilty leaving our pup behind for our trip, but elizabeth provided updates and photos after every walk. She cared for our pup like it was her own! She even worked on commands and taught him a new trick while we were away :) would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Kathleen has a genuine love for dogs. She came over to meet my dog before the date she was to care for him. My dog bonded with her right. She sent me texts and photos throughout the day. She did a great job! I’ve booked her for a future date. I know my dog is in great hands with Kathleen!”
“I am so glad I came across Tracey's profile on Rover for my stay down the cape. She was very flexible, accommodating to our schedule, and my dog Bodie loved her! I will absolutely be reaching out to her again for my next trip down.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and career. I currently manage a veterinary hospital and have experience working alongside both general practice and emergency veterinary teams. As a pet parent to a nervous, reactive dog, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires a little extra patience and understanding, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. Currently working Full time and looking to do this as a side job. I would prefer dogs that are close to me to ensure I can do as many walks as possible. Working in the Vet Med field has taught me how incredibly important safety is. I follow the owner’s instructions to the tee and will put the pets safety as a top priority on all our walks.
“Caitlin was very responsive to set up our walk and easy to make arrangements with. She arrived on time and send a clip of our very happy pup! Our dog seemed happy and taken care of during her visit. We would highly recommend using Caitlin and when we visit the Cape again we would use her again!”
