“Caitlin graciously helped us out in a pinch when we had a last minute cancellation from another sitter. She was quick to respond to our request and made us feel comfortable about leaving our 1 year old Bernedoodle with her (it was our first time boarding Winnie). Caitlin’s house is perfectly set up for doggy guests with a lovely fenced in yard, a deck and lots of gates for safety. She sent us tons of photos and kept us informed about how Winnie was doing (not missing us one bit!). What a sweet family! If you’re in need of a place to leave your dog during your Cape vacation, look no further than Caitlin!”
“Our Daisy stayed with Karen for 6 nights! We were nervous to leave her but Karen put us at our ease and kept us up to date with pictures and Daisy seemed to be having a ball with other boarding dogs. It was great to know she had a secure outside spot to be in and we would board with Karen again.”
“Our Frenchie Ruby had a great time with Andrea and Bob! Ruby loved playing in their fenced in yard and going on walks. Clearly experienced dog sitters! Thank you Andrea and Bob.”
“Will absolutely book with Caitlin again! Her communication is excellent and I very much enjoyed getting pics of my girl throughout her stay. My dog is a senior and hasn’t been happy in kennel boarding before, but Caitlin was able to meet her needs and keep her content and happy the whole time. Great experience!”
“My 2 year old Lab/Golden Cross had a great weekend with Julie, her dog Ellie and another client's puppy. It was a last minute booking request but she agreed to a meet & greet first. Julie's calm and loving demeanor as well as her beautiful and inviting home convinced me my dog would be in good care. And she was. Having another client's puppy to run around with was a bonus! Thank you, Julie!”
“Chelsea took good care of Gus while we traveled for the first time away from him for a week. She sent a few updates throughout the week to let me know how it was going which I appreciated. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her after meeting her. She made me feel at ease and seemed to really take to Gus. Glad to have found her. Gus seemed like he wanted to stay when I picked him up, which I thought was a good sign that he loved her and her family.”
“Michele is wonderful and really took marvelous care of both our dogs. We loved getting pictures of what they were doing. It was obvious she spent time with them and they were comfortable in her home.”
“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.”
“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! ❤️❤️❤️”
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. Im home the majority of the time. Cozy corner in my den for bed. Seems to be everyone’s favorite hangout. Living room has multiple Sunny-spots Several neighborhood walks a day and if dog and owner are willing, I go to Thompson’s field in Harwich where they can romp.
“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!”
“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.”
“This is my second time having Taylor watch my dog, Pepper and I couldn’t ask for more! She is one of very few people that I really don’t worry about Pepper at all while 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.”
“Cindi sent great pics and regular updates. Clover got a lot of exercise, and adjusted well, and quickly to her first visit with Cindi. Was a great experience for all of us. We felt confident leaving her with Cindi.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Zuzana did an amazing job taking care of our lab. Gizmo was a great host and our dog had a blast. Zuzana also went out of her way to purchase a new collar when ours broke last minute. Thank you so much! Would book again 100%!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Harwich
Madaket took care of our Bernese for the weekend. She seemed to have a great time. I liked that Madaket has a large outdoor space. Our dog looked happy in all the pictures. When we picked our girl up she kept nuzzling Madaket, good sign she was well taken care of.
Julie did a wonderful job watching our six month old puppy Valentino. He immediately fell in love with her backyard and quickly became pals with her black lab. We picked him up and he seemed happy and played out. He loved his weekend away! We would be Julie again at any time. :)
Sally was fantastic!! We are incredibly pleased by her service. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures. Sally was flexible to adjusting the pickup to be one hour earlier which was very kind. She is personable, friendly, communicative, and compassionate. Even though it was a rainy weekend she still made sure our puppy had outdoor time and even took her for a beach walk. Thank you for everything Sally!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Harwich on Rover is $33.17 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 185 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Harwich. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
93% of West Harwich 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 Harwich 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 Harwich 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 Harwich.
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 Harwich 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.
