“Marcia was wonderful; they made my pup feel like a member of the family! I got lots of updates so I didn't have to worry while I was away for work. Cane was having so much fun that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home!”
“I'm so appreciative Karen was able to take a last minute booking during the week we were vacationing on the Cape. We spent the day out and I didn't have to worry about leaving my dog alone. She was very responsive, great communication and sent cute pictures of Mackie while he was with her. Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“Caitlin was a g*dsend! My 2 small senior boys had such a nice time with Caitlin's family, and it was our first time with her. We do not live very close, but I will absolutely reach out again if we need a safe, comfy, happy place to stay!”
“Julie did an excellent job with Brady. I felt very comfortable with Julie's care of Brady. Julie's house and fenced in yard was very nice and very well kept. Julie was very nice and took the job of taking care of Brady very seriously and communicated with me though the app on how Brady was doing.”
“As always Saffie had a great time at Caitlin’s! She sent lots of photos, was great at communicating, and Saffie was a very happy girl when I picked her up. We will definitely use Caitlin again!”
“Karen hosted my dog Lulu overnight and was very genial & accommodating as well as an excellent communicator. It was clear that Lulu felt very comfortable with Karen and her sweet dog.”
“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.”
“Andrea and Bob were amazing sitter for our energetic 3yr old doodle boy. They kept me updated with pics and I could tell he was having fun and felt safe and loved. They did an excellent job and I would definitely highly recommend them. Super pros!”
“Marc was fantastic! He was super flexible and understanding with my last minute request. He kept in touch all weekend and sent me regular updates and plenty of adorable photos so we knew Brady was having fun. Looking forward to having him watch Brady again!”
“Maria was wonderful! She sent numerous updates and photos and Spot had the best time! She takes the dogs on walks and swims and her house is an absolute dream for pups! Can’t wait for spots next stay!”
“Michele is a wonderful! She did a thoughtful and thorough intake with my dog Rylie, who is older, hard of hearing and requires daily insulin injections. She sent daily updates with pictures of their “adventures” during her stay. You can tell she truly enjoys dogs and loves spending time with them. Highly recommend!”
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.
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.
“This was Leo’s 2nd visit with Deb’s Dog Sitting and it was awesome as usual. There’s a big fenced backyard and 3-4 other friendly dogs to play with to keep Leo occupied. You can tell Deb is a real dog person - she has 3 of her own.”
“Cindi was amazing and our Fenway loved her time with Cindi and her husband. I 100% recommend Cindi to any dog owner that needs a living home away from home on the Cape. She communicated with us daily, giving us updates on Fenway’s day. Cindi is the best!”
“Chelsea was fantastic! She was responsive and attentive to our dog. She was so friendly, and our pup Brewster came back exhausted after playing in their fenced in back yard. We also really appreciate the picture updates! I would highly recommend letting Chelsea watch your dog!”
“Mike and his wife are great hosts. They have friendly dogs, a large fenced in back yard and send photos multiple times throughout the day. They even agreed to watch our pup last minute during the holiday when a family emergency came up. They’re our “go-to”. Highly recommend, just not when we need them ;)”

“Kelly was amazing! She was so attentive to every detail, and the check-ins make me not worry in the slightest while I was away. From a detailed description of each visit to the many photos of my cat Loki, it was clear that Loki was getting the very best care possible. What made it even better is that my cat Loki clearly loved Kelly as well! (I was so worried he'd just spend the whole time hiding, lol.) I can't thank you enough, Kelly, and will definitely request you first next time!”
“Stefanie took care of my newly-adopted very shy cat, and when I got home after 3 days the kitty was coming out from her hiding place. Stefanie came over promptly even though it was just a few days after her wedding! That's dedication. Thanks, Stefanie!”
“Sarah always takes such good care of my elderly cat Lucy. I can tell she's comfortable with Sarah in the pics she sends me when I'm gone and when I get home everything is just the way I left it.”
“We just moved from CA with our 15 year old Diva Tortoise Shell cat and she is extremely skittish around anyone but my husband and myself. It took our last sitter almost two years to see her and have her come up to smell his hand! The first day Susan was there she sent us a photo of Tay sitting in the doorway checking her out - which was phenomenal! She must sense that Susan is a true cat person and it really blew us away. We feel confident now that we can leave her home without feeling guilty! I would recommend her highly and can't wait to finally go on vacation and not worry about Tay as much. :)”
“Lily was hired to stop by and care for my two cats Sean and Master Jeremy while away on a trip. Lily followed all instructions and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her services as a dedicated and caring cat sitter.”
“Sarah did a great job watching Homer G! She watered plants, gathered up the mail, and even cleaned up around the house. I enjoyed getting pictures and reports of her visits. I was gone almost a month and felt very comfortable being away from my home and fur baby knowing that Sarah was caring for him!”
“Jacqueline did an excellent job taking care of my baby Max (cat) , I totally recommend her service , she was kind, reliable and kept me posted with pictures which I loved! , my cat usually seems nervous but we got home from the trip and he was calm.”
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.
About: I have taken care of family and friends animals since I was very little. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, and will take the BEST care of your fur-babies! I am currently working part time during the day and part time at nights. I will make sure I provide your fur-children with the best care. I will always make sure the rules of the house are followed and I take the utmost care of your pet in the way you expect. I am physically fit and have an extremely loving personality.
About: I have cared for pets my whole life and frequently care for friend’s pets when needed. I have a home in Yarmouth, work remotely full time and always open to caring for pets in their own home if preferred. I have an amazing cat of my own that loves other animals. I also have a 16 year old daughter that has helped raise dogs & cats since she was a baby. I look forward to connecting with you and caring for your fur baby!
About: Hi my name is Kendall, I’m looking to spend time with your furry four legged friends! I am an avid animal lover and have grown-up around animals my entire life. From cats to dogs, from guinea pigs to turtles I’ve had them all as pets and cared for them whole heartedly. I have lots of experience pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors and friends all through high school and college. I currently own a dachshund mix and love him dearly. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs walking, bushing, and playing with them. I do send text and picture updates of owner’s dogs upon request.

I am more than happy to check in and/or walk your dog, I am very attentive to my surroundings. Your pet is in good hands with me.
About: Dogs are pretty straightforward which I love. If they like or don’t like something they’ll let you know. More importantly is understanding their owners. Patience is key. You can get a dog to love you but to respect you is a different story. My full time job is 12:00-7:30pm. Days I dont work I’m 100% available to watch your pups all day if need be. I can take care of bathroom breaks at 11am and 7:30-8pm Pups that I care for get 110% of my attention. At the moment I’m available to take care of clients dogs within their homes. If it means overnights I’m more than happy to.

“Scout had such a good time with Caitlin and her doggos that we decided to leave him with them again as we explored the Cape. He had a wonderful day playing and was tuckered out when I picked him up. Caitlin is an excellent choice if you are visiting the Cape with your best friend but need to leave him for a few hours. She also gives great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. I recommend her services without reservation.”

“I booked Stephen the same day 1 hour before booking. He was very generous and took amazing care of my Poppy. He also kept me updated with texts and pictures. Poppy was very happy. I highly recommend and will definitely book again when I’m in the area.”
“Karen was fabulous! ❤️ She attended to our 2 dogs in our cottage for the 3 days we were celebrating our daughter’s wedding and visiting with guests at a different location. Our dog Buddy is difficult (chihuahua miniature pincher mix) and I was afraid no one would want to work with him. Karen was patient and kind and eventually got Buddy out for a walk to the beach.”

“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.”
“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”

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.
About: I am a physical therapist who has a passion for working with people, however, I interact with people quite often. SO, what I really enjoy is making the time to cuddle or walk with furry friends any chance I can get. As a former doctoral student, I have learned how to manage time well, organize and prioritize. I have over 8 years of experience dog sitting for family members and these dogs include small breeds (Coton de Tulear and Dachshund), medium breeds (Beagle/Australian Sheperd mix) and large breeds (Pitbull/Boxer mix, Boxer, and Lab/Pitbull mix). I have administered medication on a strict schedule, bathed, walked and snuggled with all of these pups, showing nothing but love and dedication. I take all safety precautions to ensure gates are closed when necessary, human food is placed far out of reach, and all doors are shut that lead to tempting, tasty objects such as shoes and remotes. My experience with a variety of breeds and sizes makes me stand out, as well as my ability to handle high energy dogs who may appear confrontational at first. If you choose me to watch your fur babies, there is no doubt that they will be in good hands with someone who is dedicated to ensuring they are comfortable, happy and well taken care off. I have a very flexible schedule, I am in between jobs at the moment, so as long as I have enough notice, I am willing to make anything work! At my house I have to flexibility to take the dogs out as needed, I have a dog currently who is friendly with others. In my clients’ homes, I respect the client’s instructions and can perform any task they need! I respect the home and privacy as I have also had Rover sitters in my home and would want someone trustworthy.
“Quinnie had the very best time with Marc and his sweet dogs . They went on several walks and she enjoyed his big , beautiful enclosed back yard . Marc was very communicative and sent us pictures and video. He also gave us some leash walking tips . Quinnie can’t wait to go back !”
“William and his wife were amazing! They have a great indoor and outdoor space to manage the dogs in their care, including a split fenced in yard to separate dogs. I knew my dog would be in good hands and would definitely leave her in their care again.”
“Sherrie was wonderful! I was little concerned about my pup not getting his daily walks, but let me tell you, his days were plenty full of exercise and activity! I had never left Roscoe with a sitter before, always a friend or family member that he already knew, and I don't think I could have been any more comfortable than I was with Sherrie. She sent tons of videos and photos and was super responsive, not to mention flexible with pickup and drop off times.”
“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.”
“100% confidence, Ruby loves dogs and treats them like family. She sent a couple of photos during the day, which was just enough to know all was ok. She took Sam and her dogs to a dog park, and a long walk and Sam loved being with her dogs. Thank you Ruby for taking such good care of Sam!”
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was born! My family has a golden doodle and a border collie, which have both been in my life since they were puppies. I love dogs and have been around them my whole life! My roommate also has a Rover account, so we have had plenty of dogs stay with us. I work remote, so I am always home to take care of pups! I work remotely, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup! I am up early in the morning in case of an early drop off, and I am totally fine with a late pick up as well. Our apartment is quite small, so I will always have eyes on your pup! I will always make sure there is nothing around for a pup to get into. Lots of hardwood in case of any accidents! My apartment complex also has lots of grass for walks and a dog park if your pup is into that!
“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.”

“Kelly was terrific with Cooper. Right on time with a walk, the necessary "relief", and dinner. Cooper always eats at 5 PM (or he'll let me know I'm late!) and Kelly was on time. Snuggles and a little play and Cooper was good to go until I arrived home 5 hours later.”
“Susan was great. She sent us pics of playing ball with Lexi while we were at the beach and Lexi seemed to really like her. Susan was on time and a pleasure to work with. We hope to use her much more this summer!”
“Excellent communication. Great photos. I had to be away in Colorado and it was so good to have the dogs walked while at a friends house. Cora is still potty training and I really needed the help. You can also tell Stephanie really loves dogs.”

“Olivia is a wonderful dog walker! She is attentive to details, always makes sure my dog has fresh water, give him treats, and takes great care of him. It’s clear how much she cares about the dogs she works with. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m a professional veterinary technician with four years of hands-on clinical experience. My background means I bring a much higher level of care, safety, and medical knowledge to your pets than your average pet sitter. I am currently a stay at home mom once my kiddos go off to school for the day. I’ll have late mornings into afternoons for your pet needs. I will not be doing any pet sitting at my own home, but if there ever was an opportunity where it could work out and was needed I do have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly dog
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.
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.
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring years of dedicated pet care experience to ensure your furry companions thrive. As a proud owner of two happy, healthy rescue dogs, I understand the importance of love, patience, and a safe environment in fostering their well-being. Your pets are not just animals; they're family, and I'm here to provide the care and attention they deserve. I am currently taking some time off from the 9 to 5 grind so I have a great deal of flexibility and willingness to accommodate your schedule! I have a large fenced in yard and a very dog- friendly home complete with strategically placed baby gates for any canine guests requiring space from my fur-babies ❤️
About: I grew up always having a dog and other pets in our home. I absolutely love animals! When I was 19 I got my first dog on my own, Kyla she was a yellow lab and the love of my life. I currently have 2 Belgian Malinois- Cali and Bruin. I've worked training with them and another German Shepherd. I've also volunteered with MSPCA in the past. I would love to help in any way needed to keep your four legged friend happy and safe. I am experienced in many different breeds of dogs. Whether it's puppies or elderly dogs I have experience with both and I always care for them as I do my own! Walking, running, playing, feeding, brushing, cleanup or even belly rubs! I love caring for animals! :) I am currently working part-time as a PCA, doing in home private care. Prior, I was full-time for 10 years with a woman who suffered a TBI. I am very flexible with my daily schedule as I can move my work hours around to fit my dog's clients needs. I don't bring dog's I am caring for to my house, as mine get too worked up! I can care for pet's in their home/yard and walk them from there. I also take some dogs to different trails, hikes, and dog parks. All up to the owner's preference! I am happy to do what works best :)
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—I’ve owned 4 of my own, so I truly understand how much love, attention, and care they need every single day. On top of that, I used to work as a veterinary technician, which means I’m experienced in handling dogs safely, recognizing health concerns, and making sure your pet is always in good hands. I’ve also spent lots of time dog walking and pet sitting, so I’m super comfortable with all kinds of pups—whether they’re high-energy and playful, a little shy and need patience, or have specific routines and special needs. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making them feel happy, safe, and loved. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, lots of playtime, or just some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I treat every dog like they’re my own 💗 🗓️ Availability: I’m available Monday–Wednesday all day, and Thursday & Friday until 2:30 PM. I work as a bartender Friday- Sunday so I want to dedicate my week days to being outside and helping others with fur children I follow all instructions carefully and make sure pets stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. With my vet tech and pet sitting experience, I’m confident caring for dogs of all personalities and needs while keeping your home respected and tidy.
About: I am a physical therapist who has a passion for working with people, however, I interact with people quite often. SO, what I really enjoy is making the time to cuddle or walk with furry friends any chance I can get. As a former doctoral student, I have learned how to manage time well, organize and prioritize. I have over 8 years of experience dog sitting for family members and these dogs include small breeds (Coton de Tulear and Dachshund), medium breeds (Beagle/Australian Sheperd mix) and large breeds (Pitbull/Boxer mix, Boxer, and Lab/Pitbull mix). I have administered medication on a strict schedule, bathed, walked and snuggled with all of these pups, showing nothing but love and dedication. I take all safety precautions to ensure gates are closed when necessary, human food is placed far out of reach, and all doors are shut that lead to tempting, tasty objects such as shoes and remotes. My experience with a variety of breeds and sizes makes me stand out, as well as my ability to handle high energy dogs who may appear confrontational at first. If you choose me to watch your fur babies, there is no doubt that they will be in good hands with someone who is dedicated to ensuring they are comfortable, happy and well taken care off. I have a very flexible schedule, I am in between jobs at the moment, so as long as I have enough notice, I am willing to make anything work! At my house I have to flexibility to take the dogs out as needed, I have a dog currently who is friendly with others. In my clients’ homes, I respect the client’s instructions and can perform any task they need! I respect the home and privacy as I have also had Rover sitters in my home and would want someone trustworthy.
“Nikki was awesome with our 2 high energy dogs! We appreciated the chance for a meet and greet, as well as her prompt communication and attention to detail. Thanks Nikki!”

“Marcia was wonderful; they made my pup feel like a member of the family! I got lots of updates so I didn't have to worry while I was away for work. Cane was having so much fun that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home!”
“I'm so appreciative Karen was able to take a last minute booking during the week we were vacationing on the Cape. We spent the day out and I didn't have to worry about leaving my dog alone. She was very responsive, great communication and sent cute pictures of Mackie while he was with her. Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“Caitlin was a g*dsend! My 2 small senior boys had such a nice time with Caitlin's family, and it was our first time with her. We do not live very close, but I will absolutely reach out again if we need a safe, comfy, happy place to stay!”
“Julie did an excellent job with Brady. I felt very comfortable with Julie's care of Brady. Julie's house and fenced in yard was very nice and very well kept. Julie was very nice and took the job of taking care of Brady very seriously and communicated with me though the app on how Brady was doing.”
“As always Saffie had a great time at Caitlin’s! She sent lots of photos, was great at communicating, and Saffie was a very happy girl when I picked her up. We will definitely use Caitlin again!”
“Karen hosted my dog Lulu overnight and was very genial & accommodating as well as an excellent communicator. It was clear that Lulu felt very comfortable with Karen and her sweet dog.”
“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.”
“Andrea and Bob were amazing sitter for our energetic 3yr old doodle boy. They kept me updated with pics and I could tell he was having fun and felt safe and loved. They did an excellent job and I would definitely highly recommend them. Super pros!”
“Marc was fantastic! He was super flexible and understanding with my last minute request. He kept in touch all weekend and sent me regular updates and plenty of adorable photos so we knew Brady was having fun. Looking forward to having him watch Brady again!”
“Michele is a wonderful! She did a thoughtful and thorough intake with my dog Rylie, who is older, hard of hearing and requires daily insulin injections. She sent daily updates with pictures of their “adventures” during her stay. You can tell she truly enjoys dogs and loves spending time with them. Highly recommend!”
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.
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.
“This was Leo’s 2nd visit with Deb’s Dog Sitting and it was awesome as usual. There’s a big fenced backyard and 3-4 other friendly dogs to play with to keep Leo occupied. You can tell Deb is a real dog person - she has 3 of her own.”
“Cindi was amazing and our Fenway loved her time with Cindi and her husband. I 100% recommend Cindi to any dog owner that needs a living home away from home on the Cape. She communicated with us daily, giving us updates on Fenway’s day. Cindi is the best!”
“Chelsea was fantastic! She was responsive and attentive to our dog. She was so friendly, and our pup Brewster came back exhausted after playing in their fenced in back yard. We also really appreciate the picture updates! I would highly recommend letting Chelsea watch your dog!”
“Mike and his wife are great hosts. They have friendly dogs, a large fenced in back yard and send photos multiple times throughout the day. They even agreed to watch our pup last minute during the holiday when a family emergency came up. They’re our “go-to”. Highly recommend, just not when we need them ;)”
“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!”
