“Total rock star sitter - could not recommend Kari any more highly! This was only Sadie‘s second time boarding in someone else’s home without me…I learned from my first experience that Sadie does not do great with other pets in the house… and, even though Kari’s was pet free, I was still trepidatious about trying another boarding situation in a strange (to my pup) home. My fears were immediately alleviated upon meeting and seeing Kari interact with Sadie and how she let Sadie explore around her wonderful home. Physical relief was all I felt when I left Sadie with her. Kari kept me informed each day with reports and pictures of what she and Sadie were doing, and I was never worried that Sadie was anxious or anything but completely comfortable. Seriously will make sure that Kari is available anytime I plan anything where I need to leave Sadie with someone for any reason! I think my girl had a great time and definitely was very well cared for. Cannot thank Kari and her family enough! ❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
“Ryan and Leah were amazing sitters for our pup Hammy. It wws our first time using Rover, so we weren’t sure what to expect but the experience with Ryan (and Leah) was so great, they took Hammy on walks through the woods, cuddled with him at home, and generally just took amazing care, with photos and updates throughout. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!!!!!!”
“Karen was terrific in helping with logistics for leaving Scout in her care and for going the extra effort to drop Scout back home. She kept in touch with me everyday with a picture and message and expressed her happiness with Scout. Scout was VERY happy when I walked in the house last evening— she was sooo excited to see me. Today she is calm and relaxed. I interpret her behavior as having had a positive experience with Karen and the other dogs she Karen was caring for. Very satisfied. Kathy”
“Alyne was super responsive when it comes to booking as well as honest and responsible when taking care of our bulldog. I definitely recommend Alyne to others owners.”
“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!”
“Maria took wonderful care of Nori. She met for a meet and greet in advance and took the time to learn about his needs and answer all our questions. During his stay, she sent great updates with lots of photos of Nori enjoying himself. He came home a happy pup. We would absolutely board Nori with Maria again.”
“Caitlin is fantastic! This was the first time we left our dog since we adopted her in April. Caitlin called me shortly after we dropped her off to let us know that our dog was settling in well. She sent texts, photos and videos all weekend to keep us updated on how our dog was doing. Caitlin is just terrific and I would highly recommend her!”
“Caitlin and her family were sure to make Aila feel right at home during her 5 night stay. Every picture update Aila looked comfortable, happy, and having so much fun. Caitlin was flexible with drop off and pick up times and provided timely responses/updates on Aila throughout her stay. I highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Marc did a great job watching my quirky beagle! Waldo had a great time at Marc's home. His fenced in yard is perfect for dogs. He's very attentive and caring. He provided me with pictures of Waldo during his stay. I've already booked him again for two more stays.”
“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!”
“Melissa was wonderful with my dog Ella. She kept me updated with pictures and notes every day. Ella looked very happy in all the pictures around the house and during walks. I was happy that her dog and two cats got along very well with Ella. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“Emily and Caroline are kind and reliable. They took care of our dog, Lily, as if she was their own. They were flexible with pickup and drop off times and we felt at ease knowing that Lily had someone in the house with her during the day since Emily works from home. Lily also had a great time with their dog, Goose, and she came back to us happy and all tired out from playing with him. We will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Chloe had such a great experience with Debra! From the start, Debra was reliable, professional, and easy to communicate with. Chloe was well cared for and clearly comfortable in her care. It’s such a relief knowing I can leave Chloe somewhere she’s safe, happy, and loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Debra again!”
“Isabella was very kind, took care of our dogs, and kept us in the loop our whole week long trip with pictures. We are for sure going to try and book with her for all of our upcoming trips!”
“Highly recommend!! This was our first time boarding our dog, Ellie, with someone we didn’t know. We arranged a meet and greet with Mike and his dogs and knew instantly that Ellie would be treated like one of their own. We received many photos of Ellie during her stay, she had a great time and we will be rebooking! ?”

Emily provided our Lucy with a home away from home for a long weekend, during which Lucy appeared to be living her best life. We were a little anxious about leaving our needy rescue dog, but Lucy immediately took to Emily and made herself at home in Emily’s spacious fenced in back yard. She is so knowledgeable about caring for dogs and asked lots of questions to make sure she took care of Lucy’s needs, including administering meds twice daily. I’m afraid Lucy monopolized Emily’s attention - she can be quite needy - leaving two other friendly dogs to fend for themselves during her visit. Now I know Lucy doesn’t like to share, but Emily rolled with it. We couldn’t have left her in better hands. Thank you so much Emily for taking such good care of our girl!
I am so pleased with the care my cavapoo,Kirby, received from Katie and Jesse. He fit right in with their dog as they played, had a walk, and slept near each other. The family was loving and calm and their son was gentle and attentive to both dogs. The overnight stay was smooth with no mishaps or behavior issues. When we picked him up the next day, Kirby greeted us happy and tired. He watched his new friend as we drove away. I definitely will contact them again when we need doggy daycare or an overnight stay. It was a wonderful reassuring experience with others caring for our family member.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of West Barnstable sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which West Barnstable landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Barnstable home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your West Barnstable.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your West Barnstable sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
