About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My family has always had multiple dogs in our home and a house isn’t a home without a dog. For years I have cared for friends and family dogs while they were either at work or vacation. Now that I am retired I have a lot more time to give helping others who need support to care for their dog. I am available all hours of the day and night. I can pick up dogs or they can be brought to my home. I am semi retired and this allows me lots of flexibility in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard that backs up to conservation land that I use to exercise my own dogs. If allowed by owner, walks on the beach at low tide is a favorite activity for our dogs. During the summers I walk the many trails this area has to offer, many with ponds the dogs love to swim in.

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 am home full time! 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! 🐾❤️

About: I love all kinds of fur babies! They aren't just pets; they’re family. I have had dogs of my own for 35 years and grew up around them. I have the patience for puppy care and consistency needed to help them learn life skills like house training. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy staying active, organized, and spending time with animals. I make time throughout the day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets attention and companionship. I’m able to plan my schedule around a pet’s needs to make sure they receive consistent care, exercise, and supervision. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets by making sure they stay on their normal routine as much as possible and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. I also provide companionship so pets feel less stressed while their owners are away, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover and dependable walker who knows that every pup has their own personality and pace. From high-energy zoomies to slow sniff-filled strolls, I’m happy to tailor each walk to what makes your dog happiest. I also have experience working with reactive dogs, so I know how to keep walks calm, safe, and positive. Whether it’s fresh air, exercise, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels cared for and comes home with a wagging tail. Think of me as your dog’s new walking buddy — ready for adventure, belly rubs, and everything in between! I work full-time, and am fully remote. My days provide good flexibility to accomodate walks, let-outs, and canine slumber parties. I have a 12 year-old Pyrenees/Border-Collie mix, who loves to get out and move around, so I'm no stranger to the 4-5 walks/day schedule ;) Maintaining your trust, and your furry family member's safety will always be top priority. I will always defer to owners and their guidance, since parents know best! Home care will focus on meals, finding comfortable spots in lieu of a potentially awkward new setting, and lots of love and support. I know how anxious I get when I leave Oreo (my pup) alone for 15 minutes to run an errand, so I hope to alleviate those concerns and ensure that your pup will have a blast.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and career. I currently manage a veterinary hospital and have experience working alongside both general practice and emergency veterinary teams. As a pet parent to a nervous, reactive dog, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires a little extra patience and understanding, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. Currently working Full time and looking to do this as a side job. I would prefer dogs that are close to me to ensure I can do as many walks as possible. Working in the Vet Med field has taught me how incredibly important safety is. I follow the owner’s instructions to the tee and will put the pets safety as a top priority on all our walks.

Nick did a great job taking care of our cat, Kazoo. He gave Kazoo his medicines as instructed and spent a little extra time with him. The litter boxes were cleaned as well. I forgot to stop the mail so he brought that in also. Nick is reliable and responsive to communications. And he is a cat lover …no complaints from the cat. 🐱

FAQs for Pet Sitting - West Harwich

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Harwich is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 499 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Harwich. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Harwich. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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 sitter.
