“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.”
“Marcia did an excellent job taking care of Tuka! I could tell he was very comfortable with her and her family both when I left him and picked him up. Loved all the pictures she sent! We will definitely use her again!”
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.
“Millie had a terrific weekend. A shy dog, Maria took the time to integrate her into her family activities. She came back happy, bathed and exhausted from her weekend. Maria was also very accommodating with our schedule- we dropped off early and picked up earlier than planned. She was gracious and helpful. Maria also sent great pictures of Millie from her weekend - which were passed around the table at the graduation dinner.”
“Stephen took extra sweet care of my bulldog Stella. Fantastic and frequent communicator, I truly appreciate the updates and pictures of Stella throughout her stay. 100% would recommend Stephen and consider for future Cape boarding needs!”
“Alyne was great!! Our dog Mac had a great time. She was extremely responsive and very attentive to details. She sent updates and pics. Her dog Bruce is so sweet and played very well with our young and energetic lab. Would highly recommend!”
“Marc was great with my two dogs. He was very communicative prior and during my dog's three night stay with him. He walked them each day and has a great fenced in yard for them to be able to play. Next time we are on the Cape we will definitely be using Marc!”
“Caitlin was great. She was friendly, accommodating, has a great place, and most importantly, she took good care of our dog Abbie. I can absolutely recommend her.”
“My German shepherd Justin had a great stay with Karen. We appreciated the flexibility and communication around his stay. Double check whether there will be other dogs there, as the host was listed as not having dogs, but there were a family member’s two small dogs at the house when I dropped him off.”
“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!”
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.
“Duck and Daffy loved their time at Julie’s! We’re so thankful to have found a reliable place on the Cape for them and will definitely have them stay with Julie again!”
“Caitlin was nothing short of wonderful putting puppy parents at ease when we had to leave our 13 week old lab for 12 days. From the very beginning she was ready and willing to do anything to make me feel comfortable enough to leave her. Constant and quick communication put my mind to rest. Pictures and videos everyday so we could see our girl. I will not hesitate to book her again when we go away or need a dog sitter. Id give more than 5 stars if i could.”
“Andrea and Bob did an excellent job of caring for my old dear dog. They treated her gently and with respect, and when I picked up my dog, I could tell by her tail wagging she was happy to see me yet happy to be there. I highly recommend Andrea and Bob, especially if your dog is old. Their experience in caring for senior dogs is clearly evident.”
“Winston was well cared for by Mike. Being with other dogs was a great experience for him. Mike was great with updates and photos. i would recommend Mike as a great dog sitter.”
“My dog Luna enjoyed her stay with Debra and her pack. I have a husky malamute and was very confident to leave her in Debra’s hands because she knows the breed so well, she even taught me a few things that I didn’t know. Her house is perfect for dogs to enjoy, with a huge fenced in yard, and access to outside with a doggy door. Luna formed part of the family, as she was able to be around the house, spend time with the family on the couch or doggy bed next to the couch, and again just be herself and part of the pack with the other lovely dogs. I knew from the minute we went to the meet and greet that this was right for her. I was actually afraid she didn’t want to come home after her stay! Debra was great in communicating and sent us great pictures and videos of Luna having fun. I’m so glad that I found Debra because I’ve found Luna’s second home away from home, rather than leaving her at the boarding place I used before which keeps the dogs in kennels most of the time. Thank you Debra and your pack!”
“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.”
“Jacquelyn was amazing! We traveled from Florida and she was able to watch our puppy while we attended a wedding. Our puppy played hard with some other dogs and had an amazing time! Picture and video updates were greatly appreciated. Would recommended to anyone!”
About: i'm great with pets as I've had them my whole life. I love to hang out with them and go outside to play fetch etc. as of now i have no other job so im completely free to give my full undivided attention & support to your furry friends! :) I have a 2yr old super sweet loving golden retriever at home named Winnie & a fenced in backyard where we play and go potty!

“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!”
“Cecilia comes highly recommended as a Cat Sitter. I returned from an extra long stay and she was able to accommodate my request. the cat and setting were all in perfect condition. I appreciated her professionalism”

About: I’ve had my own dogs my entire life and have taken care of other family members/neighbors dogs and cats while they are away. I love to go for walks and always enjoy taking a dog along with me! I work full time during the week 830-430 with a lunch break which I could run out if needed. I am always free on the weekends, and I usually do spend time on the weekends going on long walks. I am not necessarily looking to take dogs to my home but I am capable of caring for them in your home like you normally do.
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11 years old. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while away. This includes dogs, cats, and birds! I have experience raising 3 Brittanys throughout my life as well as 1 pig. I have administered medications to multiple pets throughout my time pet sitting. I am available Monday through Thursdays. Whether you need early mornings or late night walks or visits. I am currently dog walking/ pet sitting on the side right now. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, monitor for any signs of illness or stress, and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.
About: Experience with senior dogs, difficult cats, and hyper young ones who need that special one on one attention. Having cared for a dog with cancer, I am happy to do any extra care necessary for special cases. I have a very flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from your home and provide your pal with around the day attention and breaks. I have a young cat at home and have experience with dogs that are prone to bolting. I am neat and will always attend to your house and pet like it is my own.
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.
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.
“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..”

“Maria and Mike were friendly and welcoming to both our dogs and us. The house is in a picturesque location on the cape and incredibly dog friendly. I felt such relief knowing our girls were in such a wonderful place with really good people. 5 Stars ?????”
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Ruby during my stay on the Vineyard! She made me feel completely at ease from the start and kept me updated with great communication throughout. She was also incredibly accommodating with my last-minute request, which I really appreciated. My dog was well cared for, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Ruby to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“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 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.

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.
“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: Working professional on Cape starting Rover to exercise more and be with animals! Your pup or kitty come first: what are the instructions we talked about? What’s their mood/temperament at this visit? How many cute pics can I get before my phone storage is full again? Jokes aside, your pets routine and health/safety are what I’m here to maintain — I’ll communicate, play, chat while I give them meds wrapped in peanut butter — you name it, I am paying attention to them. I am in it for the quality animal time! I spent my childhood with horses and learned young how deeply connected we are to our animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life until lately. I’d be delighted to meet some of you here on Cape to watch over your little ones! I work full time and am available for dog walks reliably all weekend and after work. I accept weekend dog boarding. Cat boarding I accept throughout the week in addition to weekends. The animal comes first, simple as that. I offer dog walks around Cape, in home visits to feed and play in the yard, and selective boarding of pups in my own home as that’s limited to weekends only. I offer house visits to kitties as well as selective boarding in my own home. Each scenario is unique — let’s chat!
About: I have watched animals from a young age. I am an animal lover at heart and loved walking and watching dogs for years! I love to being active and being outside . I am a teacher during the day and would love to spend time with animals in my free time! I have summers off and have very flexible schedules during this time. I have a friendly dog at home and love to take dogs on pack walks or to dog parks to ensure those fur babies are sleep well :)
“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!”
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, including dogs, live by instinct and intuition, which has always intrigued me and taught me a lot of life lessons. For as long as I can remember, spending time with different dogs in my life, I can really get a sense of each dog just by looking in their eyes. I.e. what the dog needs, how the dog feels and why. I have always loved animals and spent a lot of time with them growing up. My dad had a dog in his house that I used to take care of for years. I love to watch the nature and personality of each dog. I also have a hamster at home that I care for including vet visits. When I take my hamster to the vet, I meet dogs and dog owners there who I really enjoy spending time with and learning about.
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.
“McKenzie is amazing! She takes Emmy on walks during the days I can’t come home during my lunch break, and every day when I get home Emmy is happier than ever! McKenzie is always on time, trustworthy and kind. I can’t recommend her more!”

“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.”
“Marcia did an excellent job taking care of Tuka! I could tell he was very comfortable with her and her family both when I left him and picked him up. Loved all the pictures she sent! We will definitely use her again!”
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.
“Stephen took extra sweet care of my bulldog Stella. Fantastic and frequent communicator, I truly appreciate the updates and pictures of Stella throughout her stay. 100% would recommend Stephen and consider for future Cape boarding needs!”
“Alyne was great!! Our dog Mac had a great time. She was extremely responsive and very attentive to details. She sent updates and pics. Her dog Bruce is so sweet and played very well with our young and energetic lab. Would highly recommend!”
“Marc was great with my two dogs. He was very communicative prior and during my dog's three night stay with him. He walked them each day and has a great fenced in yard for them to be able to play. Next time we are on the Cape we will definitely be using Marc!”
“Caitlin was great. She was friendly, accommodating, has a great place, and most importantly, she took good care of our dog Abbie. I can absolutely recommend her.”
“My German shepherd Justin had a great stay with Karen. We appreciated the flexibility and communication around his stay. Double check whether there will be other dogs there, as the host was listed as not having dogs, but there were a family member’s two small dogs at the house when I dropped him off.”
“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!”
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.
“Duck and Daffy loved their time at Julie’s! We’re so thankful to have found a reliable place on the Cape for them and will definitely have them stay with Julie again!”
“Caitlin was nothing short of wonderful putting puppy parents at ease when we had to leave our 13 week old lab for 12 days. From the very beginning she was ready and willing to do anything to make me feel comfortable enough to leave her. Constant and quick communication put my mind to rest. Pictures and videos everyday so we could see our girl. I will not hesitate to book her again when we go away or need a dog sitter. Id give more than 5 stars if i could.”
“Andrea and Bob did an excellent job of caring for my old dear dog. They treated her gently and with respect, and when I picked up my dog, I could tell by her tail wagging she was happy to see me yet happy to be there. I highly recommend Andrea and Bob, especially if your dog is old. Their experience in caring for senior dogs is clearly evident.”
“Winston was well cared for by Mike. Being with other dogs was a great experience for him. Mike was great with updates and photos. i would recommend Mike as a great dog sitter.”
“My dog Luna enjoyed her stay with Debra and her pack. I have a husky malamute and was very confident to leave her in Debra’s hands because she knows the breed so well, she even taught me a few things that I didn’t know. Her house is perfect for dogs to enjoy, with a huge fenced in yard, and access to outside with a doggy door. Luna formed part of the family, as she was able to be around the house, spend time with the family on the couch or doggy bed next to the couch, and again just be herself and part of the pack with the other lovely dogs. I knew from the minute we went to the meet and greet that this was right for her. I was actually afraid she didn’t want to come home after her stay! Debra was great in communicating and sent us great pictures and videos of Luna having fun. I’m so glad that I found Debra because I’ve found Luna’s second home away from home, rather than leaving her at the boarding place I used before which keeps the dogs in kennels most of the time. Thank you Debra and your pack!”
“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.”
“Jacquelyn was amazing! We traveled from Florida and she was able to watch our puppy while we attended a wedding. Our puppy played hard with some other dogs and had an amazing time! Picture and video updates were greatly appreciated. Would recommended to anyone!”
