“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!”
“Casey always has a blast at Michele's house and returns home tired and happy. She is warm, caring and loves dogs... truly the perfect person to care for our dog when needed. Thanks Michele!”
“Scott & Shayla returned our four legged friend to us clean and happily exhausted. They were wonderful and sent us photos and updates so that we didn't miss our pup as much as we would have if we were just wondering what he was doing.”
“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!”
“Caitlin & Jeff were great! - easy drop-off - updates & pix during our dog's stay - prompt replies to texts They were very trustworthy & reliable ... would definitely use again.”
“Karen is a kind, caring person and I am so grateful we found her. She eased my worries leaving my new dog for the first time. Then when my travel plans went awry, she once again eased my concerns and went above and beyond the help care for our dog. Our dog was in great hands, and being well cared for while we were away. Thank you again! You are awesome!”
“Our Portuguese Water Dog had a great stay with Julie! We met ahead of time and she showed me her space and where the dogs play/sleep/eat, which helped ease my nerves about leaving him with someone new. She sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend. I would absolutely use Julie again in the future and recommend her to anyone in the area looked for pet care!”
“Madaket welcomed our dog (cavapoo) in and everything went extremely smoothly. She kept him as her own and we had a happy dog waiting for us after at the end of a week's vacation. Communication was very easy and we enjoyed some pics occasionally. No negative comments, I recommend Madaket for taking care of your dog!”
“Alyne always takes great care of our girls (45lbs 3yrs & 22lbs 9mos). We trust her completely and love that our babies get to run around in her fenced in yard, get plenty of snuggles and make other pup-pals!”
“Kayla was absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend her enough! From the very start she went above and beyond — she was open to meeting us in person before the stay so Willow could get comfortable ahead of time, which made such a difference. Throughout the week she was communicative, sent photos, and was flexible in every way. But honestly, what stood out most was how much she genuinely loved Willow. You could just tell. She told us multiple times how sweet Willow was and that she’d miss her — and we believed every word of it. For us, leaving our girl with someone is a big deal, and Kayla made it so easy to feel at peace. We will absolutely use her again the next time we’re on the island. If you’re looking for a sitter who will treat your dog like family, look no further!”
“Ollie had the best time! Katie and Jessie were patient as Ollie warmed up, they took him to the beach and on a boat ride. Overall they treated him like their own pet and Ollie seemed happy. They sent multiple photos each day and were very responsive. Great sitters!”
About: My name is Eric and I live in Falmouth with my wife, 3 children, basset hound and bunny. I work as a firefighter paramedic and have a rotating schedule with 6/8 days off. Looking to fill my time with taking care of your furry family members. We can host or my wife or I can stay in your home. We can also do drop in visits or walks throughout the day. I am comfortable administering medications orally or injected for pets requiring it. We are an active family that loves walks, playing fetch or just rolling around the yard. We do limit dogs that stay with us to be good with children ages 3-11 and other dogs. If we don't have a service listed please ask!
“Ruby was a terrific dog sitter! She was very flexible and understanding about scheduling changes and most importantly took wonderful care of our Golden Retriever. Thank you for making Penny feel so comfortable and for all of the great updates throughout, Ruby!!”
“This is our second stay with Isabella, and our dogs love staying with her. She is attentive and keeps us up to date on how they’re doing. Our past trip we got caught up in some bad weather coming home and she was more than accommodating for a later pick up time which we greatly appreciated! I would highly recommend Isabella.”
About: I’m a lifetime animal lover, and get along terrifically well with dogs. My house is the go-to for friends and family needing a place for their pups to stay. I am retired with volunteer jobs part-time (2mornings), during the week. I’m never away from home for more than a few hours during which time my dog-friendly feline can either ignore your dog or keep them company. I’m home the majority of the time. Cozy corner in my den seems to be everyone’s favorite hangout and spot for their bed. The ilving room has multiple sunny spots for napping throughout the day. We will take several neighborhood walks a day and if dog and owner are willing, I go to Thompson’s field in Harwich where they can romp.

“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.”

My girl Celty happens to be a high-needs pup, requiring special consideration when it comes to socializing, diet, and exercise.

“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!”
“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!”
“Michele took good care of our senior dog so we could be tourists in Chatham for the day! She’s got a great fenced in and grassy back yard and even took notes for our dogs special needs.”
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.
“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 have taken care of dogs for years and have owned Brittany Spaniels, a Poodle, a Cockapoo, and a Border-Jack. I enjoy caring for dogs and learning about their personalities. I enjoy walking the dogs and live in an area with dog parks and walking trails. My home has a big yard to play catch or just walk in. I take care of pets as if they were my own. I live in South Dennis in a nice neighborhood, with a large yard. I am home on most days and enjoy walking my dog. We like to walk the beach or trails in the area. I have a big yard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a friendly dog that your pets can play with. I can crate your dog if needed. There are dog parks, walking trails and beaches in the area to discover with your pet.

About: I grew up in a house of Golden Retrivers and I love meeting new dogs! I have been a dog walker in Boston for the past 4.5 years and well before that taking care dogs and walking since HS back in Holliston Ma. I have just permanently relocated full time to North Chatham and would love to start walking dogs again! I previously lost my 12 year old Golden Luna a year ago and now have an energetic crazy field Golden named Maggie who adores Chatham living. One of my clients that lives in Boston also resides in Harwich I have been walking her two Goldens Mac and Moby since 2023 down here whenever I was down at my families place. If you need a walker I would love to chat! I have a part time dog walker for 4.5 years and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work around your schedule as needed. Unfortunately my condo only allows Golden Retriever Maggie so I would have to take care of your dog in your house/ drop ins at your place.

“While vacationing in Nantucket with my dog Jack, I decided last minute to give River a try. After reading all the reviews, Bradley was the perfect fit for what I needed. Brad was always on time, great with communication on what Jack had done during their 30 min walk, fed Jack and made sure he had fresh water. Jack took very quickly to Brad and was excited for their daily walks. As a first time River user I was thrilled with both Brad and the app - I highly recommend both!”

About: I grew up around dogs and have spent most of my life caring for them. I regularly walk and watch my sister’s French Bulldog, and I’ve also dog-sat and house-sat for families with a Bernedoodle and a Golden Retriever. I love spending time outside with dogs and am always happy to go on multiple walks a day. I believe plenty of playtime, attention, and affection make for the best experience, and I treat every dog like they’re my own.
