“Good communication. She seemed to care about the dogs.. a different experience from a dog kennel. Her home seemed a little chaotic with kids and other dogs but Nya seemed to enjoy it.”
“Karen did a great job taking care of our dog. She sent me pictures of him every day and he looked like he was very content and well cared for. She even gave him a bath before we picked him up. I will be booking with Karen again!”
“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 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.”
“Chelsea watched our Saint Bernard, Juno over the week of the Fourth. Chelsea was so wonderful to communicate with, always quick to respond. She sent photos and texts everyday. Juno was a happy (big) pup when I picked her up. Will certainly book again!”
“Madaket was fantastic, we arrived at the property and my dog Olympia started sprinting around with her dog Millie. The property was also very large, which gave Olympia plenty of room to enjoy herself. Madaket sent several pictures and videos throughout the day. There is nothing better than feeling confident that your dog doesn’t miss you because you know they are having such a good time ?! I’d be happy to leave Olympia there any time! Plus she gave Olympia a little blue bandana ?”
“I had to leave my very attached golden doodle overnight for the first time over the weekend when my sister was getting married. Julie offered to do a meet and greet a week ahead of time and immediately put my mind at ease! She is very welcoming ..even comfortable with my dog’s weird quirks (like trying to eat socks eek). It was great that she had a few dogs at once so they could play all day together as well. My dog had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was with my sister during such an important weekend. I highly recommend Julie. Especially if your dog needs friends to play with and a watchful person to make sure they don’t get into any trouble. :) Thank you so much Julie!”
“I was very satisfied with Ryan's care of our dog. He communicated constantly before, during, and after the boarding to alleviate any confusion. He was also considerate in making her feel comfortable in her new environment. I appreciated that Ryan offered to give a a wash and nail trimming at a very affordable rate. This I thought set Ryan apart from other people that we have had watch our dog. We will certainly rebook with Ryan next time we are in the area.”
“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!”
“Kari was absolutely amazing with my dog! Maisy received lots of love and attention with long walks, fun games, snuggle time, and belly rubs - all of it right by Kari’s side ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates along the way, this was a match made in heaven, we would love to come back next summer!”
“Kellie is WONDERFUL! She took a chance on Mollie, our 3-year-old rescue Sheepadoodle, who would be staying in a new place for the first time without her older "sister" and guiding star, Sophy. We were worried Mollie's quirks would prove too much, but Kellie and her family proved us wrong. They believed in her, reinforced her confidence, and provided a loving temporary home. She thrived in their household the week we were away, and we still see the effects of her new-found confidence. We can't thank Kellie enough!”
“Cindi is an absolute professional; she is very communicative and organized. Her house is clean and she only takes one family at a time so that she can give your dog(s) all the attention and care that they individually need. A wonderful experience and we look forward to using her again!”
“Sarah is the best! Murph has stayed with her multiple times and he always has so much fun. She is responsive and sends lots of cute photos. I never worry about him when I’m away!”
“I am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”
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.
“Jenny took care of Ace within last minute need. She was amazing. Ace liked her from the moment he met her. She kept me in the loop about how Ace is doing and send pictures Proffesional and kind. Thanks Jenny See you in the summer.”
“Harriet and her “family” provided such a warm, safe and fun stay for our Chloe. She sent regular photos and videos so we were at ease during our vacation. Chloe is looking forward to her next stay. Would highly recommend!”

“Rob was so patient with my Petey (who can be reactive to new people). Rob handled all Petey’s care beautifully and sent me pics so I wouldn’t worry. Highly recommend Rob who helped us out without a lot of notice!”
“Emily was fabulous! Super responsive, provided pictures, and noticed my cat’s allergies acting up. She even bought her a toy! I will definitely be requesting her again.”
“On short notice, Chelsea recently took care of Cape Cod’s newest “wash-a-shore” cats, Humpty Dumpty & Red. Right from her initial visit, I knew that I had hired someone who was not only professional & knowledgeable, but was also passionate about caring for animals! My cats & I highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter!”
About: We’ve had cats in my family since I was a baby. I currently have a 14 year old cat, Anya, who has IBD and gets various medications throughout the day, so I am comfortable with shots and oral medication. I have also been cat sitting for neighbors for several years. I love building relationships with the cats, earning their trust, and sending glamor shots to their people!
“Elizabeth was wonderful! My usually shy cat took to her right away and I think he’s in love! She was great at sending pictures, getting my mail, checking on the house in bad weather and even cleaned up the litter box and feeding area! I’d highly recommend her l!”
“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!”
“Laurie clearly has a love for animals. She made contact every day with pictures. She let us know about an issue with heating. The cat boxes and floor areas were clean when we returned. Food and water were left according to instructions. We would happily hire Laurie again to care for our two cats.”
“I have been using Tracey for my cat sitter for several years now & she is truly exceptional! I don't want to share her! My Gypsy loves her & nothing matters more than that.”
“Stefanie was great! My cat is not an easy customer but Stefanie got the job done exactly as I asked, while giving my kitty the space she needs. I was able to have peace of mind while I was away on vacation.”
“Thanks so much for helping my 90 neighbor wrangle her cat into the carrying case. Thoughtfulness in her approach and decisiveness to get it done. With a few marks we'll all remember.”

“My dog, Kiwi, had a fabulous visit with Andrea and Bob! They were extremely communicative and accommodating before our visit. They took care to learn Kiwi’s quirks, likes, and dislikes (she has a big personality, so there are a lot!). They even had toys and balls at their house for her to play with. It’s clear that they are experienced and intuitive dog caretakers, which is so important to me as a nervous dog mom. When I went to pick her up, Kiwi was all smiles and happy body language…I know she had a fabulous time and can’t wait to go back! Thank you, Andrea and Bob.”
“Caitlin is a great option for your dog sitting needs! Excellent communication before/during the visit and most importantly, she's wonderful with our pup - he had a blast!”

“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.

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 have take care of animals for over 2 decades. Pups are my favorite and I also have chickens and volunteers with horses on a local farm. I respect nature and appreciate what great companions animals are for us humans. I treat them as family members. I had 3 dogs from puppies to their senior age and understand all stages of dog lives. I can play, socialize, train puppies. Walk fast pace with athletic dogs or slow down for littles or seniors. I can give medicine and keep an eye on health any conditions. I have 10yo son who is a huge dog lover and helps out with our dog and chickens and also does barn chores at the farm. I feel so blessed we both feel the same love for all creatures on Earth. I currently work from home, so your pup(s) will have a companion most of the time. I also go on 2-3 walks a day and we have a nice private yard for additional play and relax. We have a private yard, one friendly 2yo Boston terrier who has proven to be more than a gracious host to all sorts of furry visitors. He naturally accepts their energy if they want to play or are shy and need time. We also had some rescues and traumatized pets and Gizmo proved to a respectful companion. He is the reason I love pups and want them to have the most fantastic time in our home.
About: I 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.
About: I love fresh air and think it's important for dogs to be dogs and enjoy it! Even without a dog, I go for walks every day to get my puppy fix and love to be outside. I also grew up with cats and am happy to keep any and all furry friends company! I have over 15 years of experience with everything from pet-sitting to babysitting and house-sitting, and I find it important that you feel comfortable while you're away from home. I am extremely trustworthy and responsible and would love to provide that comfort to your family. I have a corporate work-from-home job that offers me flexibility to help most weekdays and weekends. I am available to be around as often as needed, whether that be one-time drop-ins or spending a day working from "home" with some furry coworkers. I always make sure everyone is safe and happy, with a healthy awareness of dog behaviors and experience with reactive animals. I clean up after myself and always leave places cleaner than I find them.
“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.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Cindi through Rover while vacationing in Cape Cod. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make Finnegan feel comfortable and loved. She arranged a meet and greet a few days before the drop-off, during which she asked thoughtful questions and took notes on Finnegan’s preferences, showing her genuine care and attention to detail. Despite the less-than-ideal weather, Cindi took Finnegan on multiple walks, demonstrating her dedication and love for dogs. Throughout his stay, she kept us wonderfully updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected even from afar. When it was time to pick him up, Finnegan ran right to her door like he owned the place a clear sign of how happy and comfortable he was with her. We will definitely be using Cindi again and highly recommend her to other dog owners looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter.”
About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs, and my background in professional animal care means your pet is in hands that truly understand animal behavior and safety. With three years as a professional Pet Care Specialist, I am well versed in daily care, behavioral monitoring, and administering medications for pets with specialized health needs. My additional experience in professional dog grooming also means I have the hands on patience needed for all sorts of pups; whether they be anxious, high energy, or seniors with special needs. I now work from home, and can provide dedicated, attentive pet care and boarding in a safe environment. As an added perk, I’m happy to offer in home bath and nail services, with a professional setup, so your dog comes home fresh! Because I work primarily from home, I have a clear, flexible schedule with plenty of dedicated time to spend with your dog. I’m available for boarding and other services any day of the week, allowing me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and a structured routine so your pup is never left alone for long stretches. 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: • 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: 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 a cat who is well accustomed to dogs, but will mostly keep to himself. • Separation: 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. 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.
About: I am a very active 49 year old mom with adult children and two small dogs. I grew up with animals my whole life, and my family even owned a chain of pet stores when I was growing up, where I worked. My family is packed with doctors and vets. I move to the Cape full time and am available to walk dogs, house sit, and board small to medium sized animals in my home in Orleans. We have a fenced in backyard and lots of space to run on the beach. I work remotely, part-time as an attorney and set my own schedule. My true love is animals! My flexibility gives me plenty of time to care for pets, in your home, in mine, or just for a walk. I take my dogs for a daily run to on the beach and am happy to take along another. I can also care for your dog alone in your home (and leave mine home with my amazing family). Finally, I am available for walking your pup, most days in your neighborhood or mine. We have an acre of land and half is fenced in for dogs. We have extra cages if desired. Ours never enjoyed their crates. We will follow your schedule and treat your pet like a member of the family. We invite interviews in advance to ensure we are the right fit for your pet.

“Emily was awesome! We were lucky that she was available for a dog walk while we were on vacation. She also was open to a meet and greet before which made us feel more at ease. Very communicative and went above and beyond. We would definitely use her again!”
“Allison is a very good communicator. When she was running late she gave me a generous discount. She followed my instructions carefully and did a great job walking Thurston twice in the same day. Thanks so much!”
“While visiting Orleans on vacation, Marie walked my dog two afternoons. She took the time to meet with me and my dog a day before the walks. She took my dog for nice long walks and made sure she had food and water after the walks.”
About: I am a very compassionate, enthusiastic person that absolutely loves dogs! I don’t have a dog of my own anymore and only take one dog with no other dogs - unless the dogs in your family are more than one - the more the merrier in that case I’m in! I know many dogs do not get along with other dogs which is normal for many dogs, no worries I get it! This is a huge peace of mind for many dogs and their owners- and my specialty catering to one dog - hence my pricing. Believe me it’s worth every penny! A bit about me- my family and friends have always say “I’m a dog whisperer”! I have always had dogs in my life, but I lost my best friend (yellow lab). She was my soulmate! I am now ready to enjoy and take care of your fur-baby or fur-babies as my own. I give one on one attention to your dog that you will not find anywhere! All the dogs do very well with me, and their owner’s have all said they’ve had a huge relief knowing their fur- babies are in good, loving hands with me! You will absolutely have a peace of mind!! I’m available for house sitting in their comfort of your home or vacation/summer home or boarding here at my home. I also do drop in visits with walks, play and company for your pet. I love going on adventures with trail hikes, beaches and exploring with your pups. I know dogs, and I know their needs. Dogs need social interactions, company and lots of attention just like we do as humans! Your dog(s) will always be my bestie too! I look forward to hearing from you, meeting you and your fur baby! I am home full time (early retired teacher) and have plenty of time to walk, play and cuddle with your pet! I’m available for your needs and your pet needs too! I have a great yard, deck to play and hang out together. I live in a quiet area that has great places for taking walks, hikes, beaches (when dogs are allowed during the year here), and adventures with your fur baby! People tell me it’s like doggie vacation camp when their dogs come stay with me!
“Elizabeth was fantastic! We felt guilty leaving our pup behind for our trip, but elizabeth provided updates and photos after every walk. She cared for our pup like it was her own! She even worked on commands and taught him a new trick while we were away :) would definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have been a dog owner of all different breeds since childhood. I'm also a dog walker for the local community and enjoy every minute of it. I look forward to making some new furry friends and will treat them like my own. Please share as many details as you can about your pup, so I can care for them well. Thank you for your interest. I am self employed, so have plenty of flexibility for pup care. Although I cannot accommodate pups at my home, I can take them to the local beaches and trails. Car rides welcomed 🐶 I currently do not have the ability to house pups. For now my availability is strictly coming to the home for walks and/or pet sitting.
“Zuzana was fantastic with my French Bulldog Boomer while I was on vacation in Cape Cod. She walked him 4 times in 2 days while I was sightseeing in places that wouldnt allow dogs. She was always on time and gave me wonderful progress reports, including water refills and belly rubs! My boy Boomer abaolutely loved her. Highly recommend Zuzana!!!”
“Tracey was amazing. My dog is big and stubborn and she worked to understand how to get him on walks/in the car to quick park trips and kept me up to date on everything. I’m so appreciative she was able to get him out for me during these days and appreciate all her communication and patience!”
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: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover and dependable walker who knows that every pup has their own personality and pace. From high-energy zoomies to slow sniff-filled strolls, I’m happy to tailor each walk to what makes your dog happiest. I also have experience working with reactive dogs, so I know how to keep walks calm, safe, and positive. Whether it’s fresh air, exercise, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels cared for and comes home with a wagging tail. Think of me as your dog’s new walking buddy — ready for adventure, belly rubs, and everything in between! I work full-time, and am fully remote. My days provide good flexibility to accomodate walks, let-outs, and canine slumber parties. I have a 12 year-old Pyrenees/Border-Collie mix, who loves to get out and move around, so I'm no stranger to the 4-5 walks/day schedule ;) Maintaining your trust, and your furry family member's safety will always be top priority. I will always defer to owners and their guidance, since parents know best! Home care will focus on meals, finding comfortable spots in lieu of a potentially awkward new setting, and lots of love and support. I know how anxious I get when I leave Oreo (my pup) alone for 15 minutes to run an errand, so I hope to alleviate those concerns and ensure that your pup will have a blast.

“Karen did a great job taking care of our dog. She sent me pictures of him every day and he looked like he was very content and well cared for. She even gave him a bath before we picked him up. I will be booking with Karen again!”
“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!”

“Chelsea watched our Saint Bernard, Juno over the week of the Fourth. Chelsea was so wonderful to communicate with, always quick to respond. She sent photos and texts everyday. Juno was a happy (big) pup when I picked her up. Will certainly book again!”
“Madaket was fantastic, we arrived at the property and my dog Olympia started sprinting around with her dog Millie. The property was also very large, which gave Olympia plenty of room to enjoy herself. Madaket sent several pictures and videos throughout the day. There is nothing better than feeling confident that your dog doesn’t miss you because you know they are having such a good time ?! I’d be happy to leave Olympia there any time! Plus she gave Olympia a little blue bandana ?”
“I had to leave my very attached golden doodle overnight for the first time over the weekend when my sister was getting married. Julie offered to do a meet and greet a week ahead of time and immediately put my mind at ease! She is very welcoming ..even comfortable with my dog’s weird quirks (like trying to eat socks eek). It was great that she had a few dogs at once so they could play all day together as well. My dog had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was with my sister during such an important weekend. I highly recommend Julie. Especially if your dog needs friends to play with and a watchful person to make sure they don’t get into any trouble. :) Thank you so much Julie!”
“I was very satisfied with Ryan's care of our dog. He communicated constantly before, during, and after the boarding to alleviate any confusion. He was also considerate in making her feel comfortable in her new environment. I appreciated that Ryan offered to give a a wash and nail trimming at a very affordable rate. This I thought set Ryan apart from other people that we have had watch our dog. We will certainly rebook with Ryan next time we are in the area.”
“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!”
“Kari was absolutely amazing with my dog! Maisy received lots of love and attention with long walks, fun games, snuggle time, and belly rubs - all of it right by Kari’s side ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates along the way, this was a match made in heaven, we would love to come back next summer!”
“Kellie is WONDERFUL! She took a chance on Mollie, our 3-year-old rescue Sheepadoodle, who would be staying in a new place for the first time without her older "sister" and guiding star, Sophy. We were worried Mollie's quirks would prove too much, but Kellie and her family proved us wrong. They believed in her, reinforced her confidence, and provided a loving temporary home. She thrived in their household the week we were away, and we still see the effects of her new-found confidence. We can't thank Kellie enough!”
“Cindi is an absolute professional; she is very communicative and organized. Her house is clean and she only takes one family at a time so that she can give your dog(s) all the attention and care that they individually need. A wonderful experience and we look forward to using her again!”
“I am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”
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.
“Jenny took care of Ace within last minute need. She was amazing. Ace liked her from the moment he met her. She kept me in the loop about how Ace is doing and send pictures Proffesional and kind. Thanks Jenny See you in the summer.”
“Harriet and her “family” provided such a warm, safe and fun stay for our Chloe. She sent regular photos and videos so we were at ease during our vacation. Chloe is looking forward to her next stay. Would highly recommend!”
“Steve was so well cared for that I don’t think he wanted to actually be home, haha! Thank you for treating our baby like one of your own. We are grateful to have you so close and will contact you again in the future for sure!”
“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.”
