“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!!!!!!!”
“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! Pinot stayed with her for a week and she loved it. Caitlin was super flexible letting us pick her up whenever we wanted, but also happy to keep her as much as we needed. We are already talking about the next time we come back and how excited we are to have Caitlin to watch her. She was super helpful with all of Pinot’s medicines and took great care of her. We will definitely be sending our pup back to Caitlin and highly recommend her!! This was our first time using Rover and Caitlin eased all our concerns and made it a great experience.”
“Maria was welcoming and loving to Scotty from the moment we arrived for a meet and greet!! He was excited to go visit and Maria sent pictures and messages several times a day while Scotty was in her care. He seemed happy and well cared for when I picked him up.”
“Our dog Ellie stayed with Mike for her second time and had a blast playing his dogs and begging for his food 😄 We are always happy and minds at ease when Ellie is staying with Mike”
“Ollie had the best time! Katie and Jessie were patient as Ollie warmed up, they took him to the beach and on a boat ride. Overall they treated him like their own pet and Ollie seemed happy. They sent multiple photos each day and were very responsive. Great sitters!”
“Sheryl is just about the best dog sitter you could ask for! She made sure my Teddie was super comfortable in her home, gave him constant love and affection, and always made sure there was someone available to play with him. She also gave me daily updates which helped me feel more comfortable while I was away! Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Sarah and her family took amazing care of Kilo from 9/12 to 9/14. They were incredibly accommodating and flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process stress-free. It is clear they are experienced dog handlers. They gave us total confidence by effectively managing dog dynamics from the very start and knew exactly when to separate the pups to keep everyone safe and happy. Their fenced yard was perfect for secure outdoor playtime. On top of that, Sarah and her family were incredibly hospitable and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
“Daran is the best of the best. Mac has such an amazing time with him and I never have to worry about a thing. Daran is also very thoughtful about Mac and gives solid advice and suggestions for helping with our pup. Thank you Daran!”
“If I could give more stars, I would! Shatane and her family are truly wonderful people. They treated Ziggy and me with respect and showed Ziggy love and attention every day during his 3-day stay this week. I would definitely recommend Shatane—excellent communication, with plenty of updates, pictures, and videos.”
“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 ?”
“Harriet (and her dogs) took such great care of Boudica during our out of town trip. The photos she sent always put a smile on our faces! I could really tell how much fun our girl had while at the farm.”
“Jennifer and Stephen took wonderful care of our dog Beau. He loved being with their pets (dog and cat), and had a great time. Will definitely be using Jennifer & Stephen again! Many thanks, Christine & Leon”
“Peter is the best. Pippa loves being with him and his family. His care, the outside time, running and playing, walks on the beach, and wading in the water is priceless. So grateful for the time Pippa spends with Peter. Every time I get a picture while I am away, I say “ what a lucky dog!” And she is!”
“Hanna took excellent care of our Goldendoodle Winston. She was very quick to respond to my inquiries and provided great updates on how Winston was doing. Highly recommend Hanna for dog care!”
“Gabby and her family were amazing at taking care of Luna. They were so nice, responsive, and accommodating to Luna that we really appreciate. Luna left a happy girl with a chewing toy as well! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”

Ryan took excellent care of my dog. I think he is very tuned in to how a dog is feeling and responds with love and attention. I will certainly hope Ryan can take care of my dog in the future. His wonderful backyard––fully fenced––is a huge bonus.! He lives near conservation trails, so the walks there are very pleasant!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in West Barnstable can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Barnstable home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
