“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!”
“Ruby was wonderful with our dog, Moose. We were able to leave town and not worry about him. She also sent us some great photos and videos of Moose playing with other dogs in her care. I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Sam and Pam were wonderful with Finn. They looked after him so well and treated him with such care! We appreciated everything they did for us and Finn loved every minute with them! We absolutely would book them again without question!”
“Maria was welcoming and loving to Scotty from the moment we arrived for a meet and greet!! He was excited to go visit and Maria sent pictures and messages several times a day while Scotty was in her care. He seemed happy and well cared for when I picked him up.”
“Jacqueline was wonderful with both of our dogs! She treated them like family, sent pics and videos and provided great care. Not having to worry about our fur babies made our trip even better. Her home is super dog friendly including a safe and spacious fenced in yard. I recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her dog hospitality and for my dogs again in the future. Superb!”
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.
“Rachel was the perfect dog sitter! She met us at the ferry which was above and beyond and then even gave us a lift to where we were staying on the island. She seemed to really connect with our dog and shared pictures every day during the stay. Couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Both of my elderly dogs love staying with Uncle Stephen! We get photos showing how much fun they are having as well as them enjoying the multiple beds/ sofas/ etc. Highly recommend!”
“Alyne was fantastic. We live on the island so accommodating our travel can be tricky but she was great with our schedule. She met us at the ferry to pick up our dog. While we were gone she texted us pictures of our dog playing in the yard with other dogs. We knew our dog was having a ball. Then our return travel got all messed up and she was super flexible with keeping our dog for an extra night. Would definitely recommend Alyne!”
“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 ;)”
“Caitlin is a reliable Dog Sitter for my dog, Sara. She communicates, she’s timely, she provides good feedback and sends pictures. I trust Caitlin every time. She’s become our regular dog sitter when we go to the Cape.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
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.
“Marc has exceeded all my expectations for a dog sitter. His attention to detail and thoughtful care of my two dogs has been incredible. He notices small nuances of their personalities and has clearly taken special care to get to know them and help them feel comfortable and safe. My dogs are eager to stay with him and very calm when I pick them up. I highly recommend Marc without any reservations!”

About: I’ve worked with animals my entire life and have had a lot of experience with all sorts of dogs (especially the big pups) I’m extremely patient & don’t mind the longer walks for the more energetic guys!

Typically I’m free all day on weekends. Unfortunately I cannot board pets at my home, but I am no stranger to pet sitting and will make sure your pet is well taken care of.
About: I have a senior cat with a serious digestive and heart condition, so I’m certainly used to giving pets their proper medications, feeding at specific times, or just generally giving them the love and attention they need! I grew up with dogs, and have pet sat for friends, family and clients for years. I feel more than comfortable feeding, walking or staying with pups of any breed or size.

“Kassie is spectacular! This is our first time doing drop in visits on Rover for our boys! As soon as we met her our minds were put to rest of what to expect. She knew exactly what to do when she came in. Our Jet and Copper adore her! She gave our guys lots of love, pets and play time! She picked up after them and send us photos of them having a great time. It was an easy seamless experience! Definitely will be reaching back out to her in the future! You can see how much she truly loves dogs and how much they love her back!! :)”

A recent endorsement from a current cat care client: "Jeni has been a part of our cat care for many years when we travel. She is reliable, on time, and she cares. I never worry about my 3 cats when she is coming in to feed and look after them. She often sends pictures and updates. It's always comforting to see." - Judy and Larry in West Tisbury
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, At present, I have a senior mixed breed dog named Ozzie whom we adopted from the local shelter 13 years ago. He has trust issues, fear aggression, and separation anxiety so he has needed a lot of TLC but he is a great dog, with a huge heart. Once you are in his "pack", he will love you for life! Our 9 year old cat, Mist, was adopted from the HART Organization in ME 9 years ago. She is a dog in her alter ego and is simply a love. They both are happy, loved, and spoiled pets!

About: I adore dogs and have been a consistent pet and home sitter for several families on Martha’s Vineyard over the last 8 years. I am tidy, responsible, and take care of pets as if they were my own. I love to take daily long walks (3-5 miles) and the companionship of a dog makes this personal routine so much more fun. It’s not possible for me to have a pup of my own in my current housing so getting to spend time with other dogs brings me so much joy. Work freelance as a henna artist and with a catering company on island. I have a varied work schedule with most mornings open, happy to try to make your pet care needs fit into my day. I’m a great communicator and will always make sure I fully understand the needs of your home and pet before I agree to a job. I want us both to have a clear understanding and expectation of the level of care required so that everyone is comfortable. I am very respectful and mindful that every pet and home is unique, the details matter to me.
“Rachel did a wonderful job caring for Meloni the month I was away. She was kind, considerate, and made sure to update me when anything seemed slightly amiss with him. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m a washashore with a lifetime of dog experience. I specialize in large dogs but still love my lil barkers. I own 2 floofs Briar (the Newf) and Chloe (the midget newf) I have some grooming experience and would certainly throw in a bath if need be. We love walks, videos of our adventures (so we can send them to non furry family), and lots of brushing and belly rubs. I will do off leash walks in safe environments and will do leash walks in town to socialize and get an occasional “frosty paw.” I am still on my journey to be a full time dog groomer and my biggest concern is for the animal to be happy and comfortable. I currently work part time for my husband’s tour business so this keeps me busy when I am not selling tour tickets and admin work I have a fenced in yard so if the dog park seems a little too busy or your pup jest needs to burn some energy they have a full acre to do so.

“Kayla was absolutely wonderful and I will use her services again! She was sweet and caring with my dog, and the dog was very happy with her. I had a family reunion and every day was a different schedule. Kayla was so flexible and accommodating to my needs. She had excellent communication and response to my texts. A great experience!”
“Monty had such a great day with Ruby! We would 100% have him go to Ruby's again next time we are on the Vineyard. She was so accommodating, sent us updates, made sure he was comfortable, and even offered to pick him up/drop him off. Hue thanks!”
“Rachel was very responsive, sent feedback and pictures and was flexible about pickup and drop off times. She lives in a quiet neighborhood great for walks and got my dog out for 2 of them! My shy dog seemed to settle in and get comfortable with her and Andrew. Overall I was very happy with her care and I plan to use her again”
“Our puppy enjoyed her afternoon with Julia and Bryan - she looked so happy in all of the pictures and videos that we received, and she was very tired at the end of the day. Julia and Bryan were very timely in their responses and easy to get tin touch with prior to booking, as well as during the stay. We will definitely use Julia & Bryan again on our next trip!”
“Daniella sent photos during the stay and messages to update me on how my nervous dog was relaxing. I was probably more nervous than the dog so I appreciated it! Already have plans to leave my pups with her again.”
“we were looking for a home close by to our house where Quinnie could have some time to interact with other dogs in a safe and living environment. Jackie‘s home was perfect for what we were looking for. A large securely fenced yard plus a dog door. Quinnie seemed very comfortable with Jackie, her husband and their three adorable dogs. She spent six hours there and came home tuckered out, but she seemed very happy with the day. Jackie was very attentive and kept us informed. We would very highly recommend her!”
“Sam was great for our two goldens! Sam and his wife were kind from the get go and accepted both dogs into their house with open arms. We would certainly book again with them!”
“Maria was amazing! Ruby had so much fun and was so tired when we picked her up. Maria was very accommodating and communicative all throughout the process and stay. We would definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“We had such a great experience using Eric to watch our dog Floyd while we explored Cape Cod! He was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, and a great communicator regarding what he was doing while watching Floyd. It was extremely hot for the days he was with Floyd and Eric was very conscientious about not letting Floyd get overheated, and also about checking him for the nasty ticks that are so common on the Cape. I would highly recommend Eric and will definitely use him again when we come back to the Cape!”
“Collin went above and beyond taking care of our Cockapoo Jackson. Jackson is 12 and we have seldom left him with others overnight, so we were a little nervous. Jackson was so well cared for, he had a great time, and we received several photos and videos throughout both days. Collin was great!!”

“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.”

Most recently I lived with my sister who also has a young pitbull so I am with dogs every day. I have experience administering medication and monitoring health issues. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have even watched dogs abroad. I have experience with multiple breeds and so many amazing dogs. I genuinely just love watching dogs. I’m interested in dog walking and sitting. Can also do cats :) I work seasonal jobs so move around. For the last 3 years I was in steamboat springs, Colorado and watched 2 labs on a regular basis. I worked a 9-5 a would go home and feed, walk, and play with the dogs! I take them to the dog park and on hikes. Dogs fit into my routine very easily. Your dogs will get walks, play, get cuddles, etc. I am also used to working around specific quarks. For example, dogs who eat rocks may require a face mask for walks, dogs with sensitive stomachs, etc. I set alarms for their meals and keep a consistent walk/play routine. I feel responsible for their safety too, so if they play with dogs who are too rough, I will move along. Their happiness and comfort is literally my job!
About: I’ve taken care of animals for 20 years. I have experience with reactive, hyperactive, and working dogs. I know how anxiety inducing it can be having someone take care of your pal! More than happy to set up a meet and greet:) I’m fully remote and am able to be with your dog all throughout the day! I have experience with dogs of all personalities and sizes. From a couch potato to hyperactive reactive bearded you name it! I live a very active lifestyle and I can exercise your dog as much as you’d like! I am clean, communicative, and can follow any special instructions you have to make sure you and your pet are comfortable. I am more than happy to help train / work on specific behaviors with your pet as well:)
“Rachel is an excellent dog walker. She is so kind and compassionate with animals, and was so great with our can-sometimes-be-a-bit-challenging Border Collie! She was wonderful on his daily walks, and took great care of him in our home while we were away. She is smart and responsible and an all-round great person. Highly recommend!”
“Sonja was truly amazing! She is nice, trustworthy, friendly and always goes above and beyond to care for my puppy! My puppy is truly happy when she sees Sonja for her daily walks!”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, At present, I have a senior mixed breed dog named Ozzie whom we adopted from the local shelter 13 years ago. He has trust issues, fear aggression, and separation anxiety so he has needed a lot of TLC but he is a great dog, with a huge heart. Once you are in his "pack", he will love you for life! Our 9 year old cat, Mist, was adopted from the HART Organization in ME 9 years ago. She is a dog in her alter ego and is simply a love. They both are happy, loved, and spoiled pets! Additionally, I have cared for many friends cats and dogs over the years. I currently work part time from home. I have a lot of flexibility. I can do pet visits, feedings, and dog walks. I am usually available Monday - Fridays, after 9am. At this time, I am not available to take care of pets in my home or at client's. I am looking for daytime dog walks or pet check-ins.
About: I have a lot of pet care experience and can assure you that I will love your animals. I grew up surrounded by animals and have been trusted by my friends, neighbors, and family members to watch their pets and homes. I have long term pet and house sat in Montana, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Alaska, and North Carolina! Feel free to reach out for references or my resume. I’m an early riser, love to go on walks with animals, and have a very flexible schedule. I have been work pet and house sitting this past summer in the U.S. Virgin Islands while holding a few boat jobs as well. I will be in Vineyard Haven for the summer, working on a sailboat, and would love to spend my free time taking care of your animals. My schedule is charter dependent, but is pretty much flexible at this moment! With my flexible schedule, check-in times can be more frequent if they are needed and I am able to provide my full attention to your animals.
About: Beyond being a dog owner myself to my beloved rescue Jordi, I've also taken more dog sitting jobs than I can count. I LOVE dogs! I like to go the extra mile by taking dogs on extra long walks and adventures, always administering their medication at the correct time, giving dogs extra love and cuddles, and always keeping the house super neat and tidy. I already walk my own dog twice a day, and he loves walking with a friend! If you need a drop in visit or occasional help with a dog walk, it's already a part of my routine. Of course I do not need to bring my own dog, but if your dog enjoys the companionship of other dogs, it could be a great option! I am not allowed to have any more pets other than my own where I am currently living so I will not be able to board your dog, only house sit. Thanks for understanding.
About: I adore dogs and have been a consistent pet and home sitter for several families on Martha’s Vineyard over the last 8 years. I am tidy, responsible, and take care of pets as if they were my own. I love to take daily long walks (3-5 miles) and the companionship of a dog makes this personal routine so much more fun. It’s not possible for me to have a pup of my own in my current housing so getting to spend time with other dogs brings me so much joy. Work freelance as a henna artist and with a catering company on island. I have a varied work schedule with most mornings open, happy to try to make your pet care needs fit into my day. I’m a great communicator and will always make sure I fully understand the needs of your home and pet before I agree to a job. I want us both to have a clear understanding and expectation of the level of care required so that everyone is comfortable. I am very respectful and mindful that every pet and home is unique, the details matter to me.
About: ***AVAILABLE ON MARTHAS VINEYARD ONLY*** - Intermittently on Nantucket but dates of availability only reflect that of MV. Please inquire with a message for Nantucket :) My experience with animals began as a child both with family pets and horseback riding. Being on the farm at such a young age instilled in me a love for animals that has only grown over the years. It also allowed me a front row seat to better understanding animals and their individual behaviors. Throughout the years, I have become proficient in medication administration and personalized feedings scheduled and requirements. I have also been privileged to be around animals of all kinds and ages and I look forward to providing your young and senior pets with the extra love and attention they require and deserve. In my day to day life I am a licensed and trained paramedic which has helped me better harness the patience and understanding often required when helping animals and their families. For those of you that have pets with boundless energy, I go for a minimum 5 mile walk daily that could only be made better by the accompaniment of your four legged family member. I look forward to meeting you and your perfect pets! I currently work part time as a paramedic which allows for a lot of freedom and flexibility in my schedule to help you and your pet. As I will be watching your pet in the comfort of your home- I will always want to know what helps them adjust to change best in your absence. How can I make them, and you, feel more comfortable? What toys do they love? What types of check ins work best for you and what information do you prefer to be kept up to date on? Does your pet have any health history or allergies? What ever you think will make this experience best for you and your pet is information I would love to be made aware of!
About: I bring high-energy, all-terrain enthusiasm to every pet I care for! Whether I’m biking, swimming, running, walking, rollerblading, or scootering, I stay active so your dog can too. I’ve worked with pups of all ages—from playful puppies to mellow seniors—and tailor each walk or visit to fit their pace and personality. Pets aren’t just cared for, they’re engaged and uplifted. Let’s turn walk time into mission time! I work from home full-time, which means I’m always nearby and flexible. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I schedule walks, playtime, and snuggles around my work. I treat every pet like family—whether they're with me or I'm visiting their home. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly dogs for social play. I follow any special instructions you provide and can crate your pup if needed. Clean spaces, constant supervision, and a whole lot of love ensure your pet’s comfort and security.

“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!”
“Ruby was wonderful with our dog, Moose. We were able to leave town and not worry about him. She also sent us some great photos and videos of Moose playing with other dogs in her care. I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Sam and Pam were wonderful with Finn. They looked after him so well and treated him with such care! We appreciated everything they did for us and Finn loved every minute with them! We absolutely would book them again without question!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful with both of our dogs! She treated them like family, sent pics and videos and provided great care. Not having to worry about our fur babies made our trip even better. Her home is super dog friendly including a safe and spacious fenced in yard. I recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her dog hospitality and for my dogs again in the future. Superb!”
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.
“Rachel was the perfect dog sitter! She met us at the ferry which was above and beyond and then even gave us a lift to where we were staying on the island. She seemed to really connect with our dog and shared pictures every day during the stay. Couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Both of my elderly dogs love staying with Uncle Stephen! We get photos showing how much fun they are having as well as them enjoying the multiple beds/ sofas/ etc. Highly recommend!”
“Alyne was fantastic. We live on the island so accommodating our travel can be tricky but she was great with our schedule. She met us at the ferry to pick up our dog. While we were gone she texted us pictures of our dog playing in the yard with other dogs. We knew our dog was having a ball. Then our return travel got all messed up and she was super flexible with keeping our dog for an extra night. Would definitely recommend Alyne!”
“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 ;)”
“Caitlin is a reliable Dog Sitter for my dog, Sara. She communicates, she’s timely, she provides good feedback and sends pictures. I trust Caitlin every time. She’s become our regular dog sitter when we go to the Cape.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
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.
“Marc has exceeded all my expectations for a dog sitter. His attention to detail and thoughtful care of my two dogs has been incredible. He notices small nuances of their personalities and has clearly taken special care to get to know them and help them feel comfortable and safe. My dogs are eager to stay with him and very calm when I pick them up. I highly recommend Marc without any reservations!”
“Ann was great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and communication was great for the overnight. You could tell Philly was comfortable the whole time. Will absolutely book again.”
