About: I am a physical therapist who has a passion for working with people, however, I interact with people quite often. SO, what I really enjoy is making the time to cuddle or walk with furry friends any chance I can get. As a former doctoral student, I have learned how to manage time well, organize and prioritize. I have over 8 years of experience dog sitting for family members and these dogs include small breeds (Coton de Tulear and Dachshund), medium breeds (Beagle/Australian Sheperd mix) and large breeds (Pitbull/Boxer mix, Boxer, and Lab/Pitbull mix). I have administered medication on a strict schedule, bathed, walked and snuggled with all of these pups, showing nothing but love and dedication. I take all safety precautions to ensure gates are closed when necessary, human food is placed far out of reach, and all doors are shut that lead to tempting, tasty objects such as shoes and remotes. My experience with a variety of breeds and sizes makes me stand out, as well as my ability to handle high energy dogs who may appear confrontational at first. If you choose me to watch your fur babies, there is no doubt that they will be in good hands with someone who is dedicated to ensuring they are comfortable, happy and well taken care off. I have a very flexible schedule, I am in between jobs at the moment, so as long as I have enough notice, I am willing to make anything work! At my house I have to flexibility to take the dogs out as needed, I have a dog currently who is friendly with others. In my clients’ homes, I respect the client’s instructions and can perform any task they need! I respect the home and privacy as I have also had Rover sitters in my home and would want someone trustworthy.

“Marc was excellent! He clearly loves dogs, He has a good understanding of them and we appreciated his excellent communication and feedback! Will use him again without hesitation!”
About: I have been taking care of all different kinds of animals all my life. From dogs, cats, fish, hamster, etc.... I am now a military spouse following my husband around with our cat daughter. I do have a military id so don't worry if you live on a base I have access. I do stop by for a quick hello and check on your babies make sure they are good and don't need anything to staying and playing with them for at least 30 mins. or if you are just needing someone to get them out of the house for a little walk during the day. I currently do not have any children so any and all fur babies I will love like they are my own child. I am currently a stay-at-home wife, so I am generally available anytime during the weekday. So, I am going to use this in my free time to be able to get me out of the house for a little bit during the day. When I come to your house to check in on your baby/babies or even to take them for a walk as long as you tell me what they can and can't do for the most part (sitting on the furniture) or an idea of their schedule that will help me make them feel the less stressed out the best.
About: Hi, my name is Taylor. I’m a 23 year old nurse who works evenings at a rehab unit. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have a 6 month old very friendly, gentle and kind German Shepherd who I have trained on my own. Since I have most mornings off, I thought I could use my free time playing with other dogs, feeding, walking or as desired. Will runwith dogs if they enjoy jogging. Love grooming animals. Also if wanted more puppy/dog interactions, my Shepherd could go for walks as well or play in the yard for socialization or energy exertion. I am good with all dogs, all shapes and sizes and I’m strong for my size so bring on the big dogs who like to pull or jump. Excited to meet you and your furry friends!
“Jac is a sweetheart. She did great with both of my girls. Nina is 15 yo so she has mobility issues and Jac was super careful and had a lot of skill to deal with her. Liked so much that have her scheduled for following week. TYSM”
“Diane came to walk our dog Riley twice while we were involved in wedding festivities for the weekend, and he seemed to love her! When he first met her (I actually wasn't there, but my parents were!), he warmed up to her within seconds and basically fell at her feet for belly rubs. We will definitely be contacting her again if we need dog help! Thanks Diane! ”
“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!”
About: ***please only serious booking requests*** There have been a lot of last minute cancelations by pet owners. I am a female in her 30’s who just moved to the area and has had experience with caring for dogs and animals back near my hometown. In the past I have dog-sat my sisters 2 cockapoos for 6 or more years as she traveled for work. Through Rover I have been able to book many sittings and walks over the last 8-10 years. I have done drop ins to feed both cats and dogs and am comfortable with both. I am very respectful of the clients home and strictly follow any protocols put in place. I leave everything in the same order as it was found and make sure the animal is safe. I am currently working part-time and have some flexibility with my schedule. I just moved to the area and am open to mornings, evenings, and weekends and can do my best to work around schedules. I typically care for pets at the client's home rather than my own. My apartment building does not allow pets so I haven't been able to care for pets at my own residence.

“I am so glad I came across Tracey's profile on Rover for my stay down the cape. She was very flexible, accommodating to our schedule, and my dog Bodie loved her! I will absolutely be reaching out to her again for my next trip down.”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I’ve had dogs of my own, including a Black Labrador and a German Shepherd, and I’ve always had cats as well. I’ve also occasionally cared for other people’s dogs, so I understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re part of my own family! 🐾❤️ I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available for boarding throughout the week and can provide a loving, attentive environment where your pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I will always be present with the animals during boarding, so your fur babies won’t be left alone without supervision. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll make sure their daily routines, feeding schedules, and individual needs are followed so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, responsible hands! 🐶🐱❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I have a separate room available for pets who need their own space, including dogs who require crating or are still working on their training. I want every animal to feel comfortable and secure, so I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and routines. For well-trained dogs, my home is a welcoming environment where they’ll be treated like part of the family, with plenty of love, attention, and opportunities to relax. I also have a fenced-in grassy area where dogs can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time off-leash. For walks, I live on a long secluded road near the beach, where I can take them to get fresh air, exercise, and enjoy exploring their surroundings on a leash. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I’m committed to providing a safe, clean, and loving environment tailored to each one. My goal is for your pets to feel right at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re being cared for responsibly! 🐾❤️

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Barnstable
Kelly did a great job with my sometimes-reticent pup. She walked & pet him, & left very detailed reports with excellent pictures. I felt very comfortable with Kelly & was delighted with her service. She even reached out about an extra walk if I had difficulty getting home, demonstrating a genuine concern for my dog’s welfare. Overall an excellent experience.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Barnstable. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
