“Karen did a great job with Charlie! Lots of pictures of him having fun outdoors and playing with other dog friends. She kept me up-to-date with how he was doing, and he looked happy and well cared for when we picked him up.!”
“Harriet provided stellar care for our two dogs, Theo and Bodhi, while I was away for two weeks in Europe. I was particularly grateful for her deep care for Theo in his old age. I felt absolutely secure while I was away, knowing that Harriet was taking such good care of the boys while I was gone.”
“Caitlin was the first person I have ever left my dog with. My dog is very skittish and shy, he warmed up to her within a day. She took care of him just as I would and made sure that he had the enrichment he needs. At the end of my trip I found that this was necessary for his growth with other people. She sent me txts/videos, pictures and called me when needed. I will continue bringing Max back to her in the future. If she can handle such a shy dog as mine she can handle anything. He is looking beautiful as always upon return. Five stars all around ✨️”
“Christian was absolutely fantastic taking care of Aspen! We were away in France and had no worries about our pet because we were constantly updated with messages, photos, and check ins about Aspen's status. This is very reassuring as an owner. I have bookmarked Christian's name on Rover for our next vacation!”
“Zuzana was the perfect pet sitter for our miniature poodle, Charly. She communicated quickly and from the very beginning provided a welcoming environment for Charly. Thanks to the photos and videos she sent, we were able to rest assured Charly was in good hands. We hope Zuzana will be available the next time we look for a sitter. Thanks!”
About: I grew up with animals. As a result, I have had the responsibility of animal care since I was 6 years old. It is a part of my core self. I trained a rescue pit bull in my adult life. Through this process I learned a lot about the psychology of dogs and how to be a responsible dog owner. I had 12 wonderful years with her. I lost her in May and i am missing that canine connection. I am responsible, dependable, and I have a flexible schedule and a calm home. I have a flexible schedule. I work full time but some of that is from home. When I am not, at home, my office is a 7 minute drive away. Well behaved dogs can come to my office me. I have a small home that is primarily one floor. It has a yard (not fenced). I do not have children or other pets. I live a quiet and calm life and I am able to attend to animals with full attention.
“Andrea and Bob were fabulous! It is very clear they love dogs and are caring people. Clover felt right at home with them and certainly enjoyed her time as was evident by the wonderful pictures. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Thank you so, so much again for the wonderful care! Our dog felt very comfortable and happy with you, and we had such a good feeling the entire time. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos — it was so nice to see how well everything was going. We will definitely book again very soon and can highly recommend this dogsitter!”
About: Hi! My name is Mariana and I am going to be a junior at UMass Amherst. I am currently living on Cape Cod for the summer, looking for pet care opportunities in the Eastham/Cape Cod area. I am very enthusiastic about my love for dogs and have experience with many ages, breeds, and sizes. I have 3 male Rhodesian Ridgebacks at home, named Mo (7), Bernie (2), and Frankie (2 months). Currently, I’m working part time at the Chatham Dog Club. In the past (From Jan 2025-Aug 2025),I had the pleasure of caring for a local family’s dogs: two German Shepards (Mo and Solo) and a Yellow lab (Hubert). Given their differing temperaments and high energy, I was able to orchestrate a safe and fun environment for all 3 dogs. Tasks included preparing meals, cleaning kennels and any other surfaces/food dishes as needed, and observing and participating in play time. Along with many other experiences, this one was truly so enjoyable and reinforced my love of dogs and everything that comes with caring for them. I would love to help you out and give your dogs the loving care they deserve! I am available all summer until the last week of August. I am also very flexible so I am willing to work with you or your schedule if needed! I am able to take your dog on walks with a leash, crate them if needed, play with them in any fenced in or closed off area, learn and give them any training commands they know, feed them, give them treats and pets!
“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!”
“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!”
“Highly recommend Jennifer and Stephen to take care of your furbaby! It is a doggie heaven at their house with lounging spots galore. Sunny spot? Check. Soft like a cloud? Check. In front of a fireplace? Yep. I'd vote them the Outer Cape's best Dog B&B!”
“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.”
“Chelsea was an amazing host. Russell came back exhausted which means he had an absolute blast hanging at her house with her pup, Sadie. Chelsea was extremely friendly, accommodating and responsive. We would definitely book her again!”
About: I have extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes. Growing up, my family had large dogs (90+ pounds) for almost all of my life. I have watched and pet-sat for dogs of all sizes in the past few years for neighbors and friends. I’ve recently moved back to the Massachusetts area after a travel-heavy job for the past few years, so no fur babies of my own yet! I look forward to re-exploring some of the wonderful walking trails the Cape offers with your furry friends! I’m currently working as a server part-time, so have plenty of time to play with, walk, and feed your dogs/cats. I am available for boarding or pet-sitting in your home most weeks, and for walks nearly every evening, plus morning and afternoon shifts every Tuesday and Wednesday. I have a large backyard and walking trails within a 10-minute walk from my house, perfect for leashed adventures! I do not have any pets in the house full-time, but may have my parent’s well-trained and friendly rescue in the house on occasional weekends.
“Karen hosted my dog Lulu overnight and was very genial & accommodating as well as an excellent communicator. It was clear that Lulu felt very comfortable with Karen and her sweet dog.”
“Madaket watched our dog Cooper for a week, and was wonderful! She sent us photos each day showing the days activities which included going for walks, playing with her dog Bermuda, and just relaxing. When Cooper came home to us, he was relaxed and happy (unlike when he had been boarded elsewhere). Not only can we highly recommend Madaket to watch your pet, but we have already booked Cooper to be with her again for a couple more stays.”
“I'm so pleased I found Glenn to host my dog for a long weekend while I was traveling. For my first Rover experience, he was great: he's experienced and kept me updated regularly with info and photos. He was very conscientious about particulars like medicine and food restrictions. I wouldn't hesitate to book him again!”

“Christian did a fantastic job taking care of our 14 year old cat, Ludde. Ludde is on medicated diet and had just arrived back to the Cape after some long air plane rides. I was worried leaving him, but Christian put me at ease right away, took great care of Ludde and sent us plenty of photos and pictures. It was a relief to find such a competent and caring pet sitter.”
About: I grew up with two cats and have cat sit for various neighbors and friends for 10 years. I absolutely cats and am looking forward to being able to have my own- but in the meantime would love to help look after yours!!
About: I raised my blue heeler since he was a puppy in 2020, so I have training experience and am used to high-energy breeds! I took care of my previous dog as she was aging too, so I am comfortable with administering medication and senior care. I have both a dog and cat at home (Dewey and Pumpkin!) who I love and care for. I am currently a member of AmeriCorps Cape Cod. I live in Wellfleet but am usually in Harwich during business day hours. I am almost always available after 4pm and on weekends, or during my lunch break if you are close by! I unfortunately cannot have pets in my house, but I am more than happy to take care of your pet in its own home. I will spend as much time there as possible to keep your pet company and ensure bathroom breaks at least every 4 hours.
About: I have had dogs all while growing up, I absolutely adore them. I am used to being around and caring for dogs of all sizes and ages as well. I am not afraid of dogs and can comfortably handle all energy types! I have been regularly dog sitting and walking for the past 5 years so I am very comfortable in most situations. I am a recent college grad working full time currently but I would love to spend any and all of my free time with and caring for your dog :) I work Tuesday- Saturday 8am-4pm, Sunday and Monday are my days off. I will not be able to care for pets in my home. In a clients home, I would follow whatever protocols they have regarding their dog(s) and property in order to ensure satisfaction and peace of mind.
“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.”
“Shannon did a great job. When we got home, Harry looked great - he’s 18 and doesn’t like being home alone, so thanks Shannon! I definitely recommend Shannon for any furry baby, but especially our seniors who need a little extra love.”
“Caroline was our first experience using Rover and we were so pleased! She and Yogi immediately bonded and we were at ease. Her experience with pugs was a plus! The Rover updates during her visits were fantastic!”
About: With a deep passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I bring a level of care and understanding that goes beyond the basics. I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter for over two years, where I gained experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including those who needed extra patience and love. This experience taught me how to read canine body language, build trust, and handle all kinds of situations calmly and confidently. I’m also entering my third year working at a dog daycare, where I manage group play sessions, monitor behavior, and ensure each dog is safe, engaged, and happy throughout the day. I’ve worked with puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable tailoring care to meet each dog's unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every dog like my own—whether we’re going for a walk, spending the night, or just sharing a moment of calm. You can trust that your dog will not only be cared for but genuinely loved. I currently work at a dog daycare on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, 8 AM to 5 PM, I have a lunch break from 12 PM to 2 PM, and I’m happy to do quick drop-ins or walks during that time if you’re nearby. I'm fully available on weekends and Wednesdays for dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight stays. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a weekend buddy, or some loving company while you're away, I’m here to help! Whether your dog is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their comfort and well-being come first. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I will treat your home and your pup with complete respect. I follow all your instructions closely, from feeding to medication to where your dog likes to nap. I keep things tidy and make sure your dog feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.
“Karen made drop-in visits to care for my cat while I was on vacation. She came twice a day, early in the morning and again at dinnertime. She provided food, fresh water, changed the litter, and kept the areas clean. She also took away the used cans to recycle & took away the litter. The texts and photos were reassuring. I definitely recommend Karen. She was thorough and reliable.”
About: I've taken care of and owned cats for many years. Both indoor and outdoor and know how sweet and cute or aloof and finicky they can be. My current (indoor/outdoor) cat Boris has challenged me the most with his endless curiosity, boundless energy, voracious hunting nature and when it's time to cuddle and time to back off. I love the challenges and playfulness of these creatures.
“We’re so grateful to have Taigh taking care of our boys. He’s very attentive and communicative from the beginning. We came home to happy and content kitties. Thank you so much for your help! Definitely recommend him.”
“Caitlin was awesome! She took great care of our dog and was very understanding and accommodating when we needed to modify our service. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I grew up with dogs since I have memory. I've pet sit for my family. When I moved to Cape Cod I started helping out my coworkers with their pets taking them for walks and staying over to take care of them when they had to be away . I can be flexible when is about taking them for an hour walk, but preferably I will take bookings after 5pm I am free from my official job. Unfurnately I can't have pets in my home (landlord's rules), but i will happily take care of them in their home and follow care instructions of the owner.
About: I have been taking care of pets since 12 years old, I had a cat and later my mom gifted me a dog, animals making me feel happiness and full of love I am working morning shifts by my other job, my availability is every evening, if I have a day off at my work we can discuss about morning pet sitting My priority goal of taking care of pets is always make sure that animal had a meal and walk well, I am making sure that it made all needed things outside, had some run and play with me, activities is also very important)
About: I've always had a furry friend and love all dogs. I've helped train working service dogs and worked in a puppy nursery caring for dog moms and their litters. I'm currently working part-time and have free time. I'm home all summer long and looking for ways to enjoy my day and do something I love to do. I have my own dog at home that is super friendly and live in a quiet neighborhood which is great for walks and meeting other people and their dogs.
“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!”

“Glenn and Kirsten were wonderful with our dog and super responsive with a last minute request for day care after our outside dog boarding plans on cape cod fell through. She had a great day, would recommend to anyone!”
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.
“As a fellow Rover Sitter, Caitlin is amazing! She is very confident about dogs and knows exactly what owners are looking for - a tired, happy dog who had a blast all day long! We got some super cute pictures and videos and it eased our minds knowing that Jazzie was having as much fun as we were at The Cape! I plan to use Caitlin again for our trip to Yarmouth next summer!”
“Karen was absolutely great and super nice! I truly appreciated her being able to take care of pup so last minute, and she was completely flexible with me when running a little later than expected for pick up time:) She also sent me pictures and updates of my pup throughout the day which was definitely comforting to know my puppy was in good hands and having a great time:) I would definitely leave my dog with her in the future:)”
“Kellie was the perfect daycare sitter for Coco on a Friday afternoon! Cannot thank her and her family enough for being available and so loving to my dog. She had a great time and loved hanging out!”
About: We have owned and cared for dogs and cats for our entire lives. Friends and family joyfully leave their fur babies with us for day and overnight stays on a regular basis. We very much enjoy taking pups for walks through town, woods and the beach. We're happy to walk your dog in the environment that's best for them. We work from home as an artist and artisan and are available to provide constant monitoring and supervision for pets under our care. We generally offer services from November-May. My home has plenty of space to give your pet quiet solo time if desired. I currently have a 2.5 year old female lab mix who absolutely loves dogs and cats alike as well as a cat who really enjoys watching dogs (he has his own space on the second floor if dogs and cats need/want to be separated). We typically do a morning, afternoon and evening walk that is 1-2 miles long, but can adjust the distance and frequency to suit your pet. In addition to walks, we visit the yard frequently for play and potty breaks. We take pride in tailoring your dog's visit to individual needs. Your dog will have a room that will be their own for the duration of their stay so they can eat without interruption at their own pace (as well as sleep and hang out if they prefer solo time). If your dog desires, we also have plenty of common area space to interact with people as well as our dog.
“William and his wife were amazing! They have a great indoor and outdoor space to manage the dogs in their care, including a split fenced in yard to separate dogs. I knew my dog would be in good hands and would definitely leave her in their care again.”
About: Hi, I’m Shannon! I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child (including my prior childhood cats with diabetes, heart failure, and AIDS — so I come bearing experience taking care of sick pets, administering medications, etc.). Whether it’s taking energetic dogs on hikes and beach walks, or snuggling with a tame kitty on the couch, I spend time doing whatever the pet enjoys doing the most. I make it my responsibility to go above and beyond in making pets feel not only comfortable but also loved! I am transitioning between working in healthcare and beginning medical school soon — I won’t be working April and May so I have full time to look after fur babies! I live in a very safe neighborhood on a quiet street in the southern side of Chelmsford. I have a large fenced in backyard with tons of space for playing. There are no other pets or children in the home so your pet gets my full attention!
“Lovely home and couple who were very attentive to my dog and mindful of the relationship between him and another dog that was present. I received many photos and updates and both dogs had a great time together. Bonus - a nice fenced-in back yard!”
“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: I’ve lived with, cared for and loved pets for my whole life. I’ve been helping friends, family members and neighbors with their dogs for many years. Having just lost my beloved dog of the last 11 years, I truly miss the company and would love to spend time with and help someone out with theirs. I'm a reliable, easy going person who genuinely loves spending time with pups of all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog is full of zoomies or prefers a slow sniff-and-stroll, I'm happy to match their vibe. I am new mom with a little one. I’m enjoying my days at home with him. I can have him tag along or come alone. I have a fenced in back yard for your pup to run around in. I’m happy to walk your pup in your neighborhood or bring them on adventure to one of many walking spots the Cape has to offer.
“I was extremely happy with the care that David provided and feel absolutely comfortable entrusting him to look after Luna any time. I found everything about the experience positive and will absolutely be using his services on a regular basis going forward.”
“Tara was wonderful - she watched Ace for two days during the day. The first day he had a little separation anxiety and Tara was very gentle with him, and sent regular updates. The second day, he barely looked back when I dropped him off because he was so excited to hang out with her! She is communicative and flexible. Would definitely use her services again.”
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!
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.
“I feel so fortunate that Cassandra was able to dog-sit my pup on such short notice in Provincetown. She was extremely responsive and flexible as we solidified the booking and my plans and she went above and beyond taking care of my Nico. They played, she took him for a walk and she updated me with photos. I would be so happy to hire Cassandra again and highly recommend her for caring for your pet.”

Shoot me a message and we can discuss is you’re dog will be right for me and vice versa, thanks! 🙂 This is my full time job outside of doing my college courses at the moment so my availability is very open until around May to June I always try to create a loving and calm environment for dogs with anxiety and a more playful time with the energetic breeds while still making sure everything is safe.

About: I have experience walking all sorts of dogs from an elderly Bichon Frise to an energetic, young Chow mix. Pet parents trust me to give their dogs exercise and loving attention. I have experience giving medication to dogs and navigating challenging behaviors by maintaining the dog’s structure. I am active and adventurous. Your companion love hikes? Me too! Do they love running and playing? I’m game! They want love and reassurance- we all do sometimes! I’m currently between jobs so I have the flexibility to build the life I want! Which includes lots of dog walks. I love to get out there during the day so if you need morning or daytime walks..I’m your girl. I respect client’s homes and always leave it better than I found it. I make sure the maintain the same structure as usual in terms of meal and potty habits and house rules.

I provide loving, attentive care and treat every dog like family, giving them the patience, affection, and attention they deserve.
“Caroline was extremely flexible, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Our dog is cautious around new people and he took to her right away. He dog got to experience some fun adventures with her since she knows some great secret spots around the cape. We look forward to continuing to use Caroline anytime we’re down the Cape.”
About: I grew up with golden retrievers but have cared for and spent time with dogs of many breeds and sizes. Building trust and showing love is the name of the game. I work part time and enjoy being active outside so there’s nothing like enjoying the outdoors walking and playing with a dog. I know how important a good long and fun walk or just a nice long visit is especially when a dog is missing his/her loved ones. Safety is my main priority and I’m always aware of other animals, obstacles and the environment. I double check everything. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness is my priority.
About: I've always had a furry friend and love all dogs. I've helped train working service dogs and worked in a puppy nursery caring for dog moms and their litters. I'm currently working part-time and have free time. I'm home all summer long and looking for ways to enjoy my day and do something I love to do. I have my own dog at home that is super friendly and live in a quiet neighborhood which is great for walks and meeting other people and their dogs.
“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!”
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!
“Aliaksandra was lovely and incredibly helpful with walking my dog, Kona. She gave a detailed report of their walk with photos and her communication was great. She took such good care of my pup and I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Karen did a great job with Charlie! Lots of pictures of him having fun outdoors and playing with other dog friends. She kept me up-to-date with how he was doing, and he looked happy and well cared for when we picked him up.!”
“Harriet provided stellar care for our two dogs, Theo and Bodhi, while I was away for two weeks in Europe. I was particularly grateful for her deep care for Theo in his old age. I felt absolutely secure while I was away, knowing that Harriet was taking such good care of the boys while I was gone.”
“Caitlin was the first person I have ever left my dog with. My dog is very skittish and shy, he warmed up to her within a day. She took care of him just as I would and made sure that he had the enrichment he needs. At the end of my trip I found that this was necessary for his growth with other people. She sent me txts/videos, pictures and called me when needed. I will continue bringing Max back to her in the future. If she can handle such a shy dog as mine she can handle anything. He is looking beautiful as always upon return. Five stars all around ✨️”
“Christian was absolutely fantastic taking care of Aspen! We were away in France and had no worries about our pet because we were constantly updated with messages, photos, and check ins about Aspen's status. This is very reassuring as an owner. I have bookmarked Christian's name on Rover for our next vacation!”
“Andrea and Bob were fabulous! It is very clear they love dogs and are caring people. Clover felt right at home with them and certainly enjoyed her time as was evident by the wonderful pictures. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Thank you so, so much again for the wonderful care! Our dog felt very comfortable and happy with you, and we had such a good feeling the entire time. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos — it was so nice to see how well everything was going. We will definitely book again very soon and can highly recommend this dogsitter!”
About: Hi! My name is Mariana and I am going to be a junior at UMass Amherst. I am currently living on Cape Cod for the summer, looking for pet care opportunities in the Eastham/Cape Cod area. I am very enthusiastic about my love for dogs and have experience with many ages, breeds, and sizes. I have 3 male Rhodesian Ridgebacks at home, named Mo (7), Bernie (2), and Frankie (2 months). Currently, I’m working part time at the Chatham Dog Club. In the past (From Jan 2025-Aug 2025),I had the pleasure of caring for a local family’s dogs: two German Shepards (Mo and Solo) and a Yellow lab (Hubert). Given their differing temperaments and high energy, I was able to orchestrate a safe and fun environment for all 3 dogs. Tasks included preparing meals, cleaning kennels and any other surfaces/food dishes as needed, and observing and participating in play time. Along with many other experiences, this one was truly so enjoyable and reinforced my love of dogs and everything that comes with caring for them. I would love to help you out and give your dogs the loving care they deserve! I am available all summer until the last week of August. I am also very flexible so I am willing to work with you or your schedule if needed! I am able to take your dog on walks with a leash, crate them if needed, play with them in any fenced in or closed off area, learn and give them any training commands they know, feed them, give them treats and pets!
“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!”
“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!”
“Highly recommend Jennifer and Stephen to take care of your furbaby! It is a doggie heaven at their house with lounging spots galore. Sunny spot? Check. Soft like a cloud? Check. In front of a fireplace? Yep. I'd vote them the Outer Cape's best Dog B&B!”
“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.”
“Chelsea was an amazing host. Russell came back exhausted which means he had an absolute blast hanging at her house with her pup, Sadie. Chelsea was extremely friendly, accommodating and responsive. We would definitely book her again!”
About: I have extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes. Growing up, my family had large dogs (90+ pounds) for almost all of my life. I have watched and pet-sat for dogs of all sizes in the past few years for neighbors and friends. I’ve recently moved back to the Massachusetts area after a travel-heavy job for the past few years, so no fur babies of my own yet! I look forward to re-exploring some of the wonderful walking trails the Cape offers with your furry friends! I’m currently working as a server part-time, so have plenty of time to play with, walk, and feed your dogs/cats. I am available for boarding or pet-sitting in your home most weeks, and for walks nearly every evening, plus morning and afternoon shifts every Tuesday and Wednesday. I have a large backyard and walking trails within a 10-minute walk from my house, perfect for leashed adventures! I do not have any pets in the house full-time, but may have my parent’s well-trained and friendly rescue in the house on occasional weekends.
“Karen hosted my dog Lulu overnight and was very genial & accommodating as well as an excellent communicator. It was clear that Lulu felt very comfortable with Karen and her sweet dog.”
“Madaket watched our dog Cooper for a week, and was wonderful! She sent us photos each day showing the days activities which included going for walks, playing with her dog Bermuda, and just relaxing. When Cooper came home to us, he was relaxed and happy (unlike when he had been boarded elsewhere). Not only can we highly recommend Madaket to watch your pet, but we have already booked Cooper to be with her again for a couple more stays.”
“Alyne was great! My dogs enjoyed their stay and had so much room to run around. They were very comfortable and came home tired. She kept me up to date on the dogs and sent lots of photos.”
“Marc was fantastic! He was super flexible and understanding with my last minute request. He kept in touch all weekend and sent me regular updates and plenty of adorable photos so we knew Brady was having fun. Looking forward to having him watch Brady again!”
“Cindi was absolutely wonderful in caring for our dog Benny. We got daily updates and pictures letting us know how he was doing. The meet and greet was really thorough and made us feel like Benny would be at a home away from home while we were out of town. I would absolutely recommend Cindi to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter for their pup!”
