“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! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Ryan was great with Mila, with sending pictures and even being able to take her for a bit longer last minute without hassle. She looks forward to hanging with him again!”

“Maria treated my pups as members of the family! They received lots of attention. She has dedicated her outdoor space for her furry visitors. My dogs were very excited to free roam and explore all the plants, trees and hidden places in her well maintained and fenced areas.”

“My dog Luna enjoyed her stay with Debra and her pack. I have a husky malamute and was very confident to leave her in Debra’s hands because she knows the breed so well, she even taught me a few things that I didn’t know. Her house is perfect for dogs to enjoy, with a huge fenced in yard, and access to outside with a doggy door. Luna formed part of the family, as she was able to be around the house, spend time with the family on the couch or doggy bed next to the couch, and again just be herself and part of the pack with the other lovely dogs. I knew from the minute we went to the meet and greet that this was right for her. I was actually afraid she didn’t want to come home after her stay! Debra was great in communicating and sent us great pictures and videos of Luna having fun. I’m so glad that I found Debra because I’ve found Luna’s second home away from home, rather than leaving her at the boarding place I used before which keeps the dogs in kennels most of the time. Thank you Debra and your pack!”

“Caitlin was very responsive and accommodating with my last minute request to board Pippa. After a quick and successful meet and greet, Pippa stayed with Caitlin for 3 nights. She sent pics showing that she was happy and settled in. Pippa clearly enjoyed her stay with Caitlin's family. We will definitely ask Caitlin for future boarding needs!”

“My wife and I recently moved out of state from the Cape. We could not leave without writing one last review of Karen. We have left our dog Annie with Karen many times, sometimes for just a night or two and sometimes for over a week when taking longer vacations. We cannot begin to say how much we and Annie will miss Karen and Juni. Karen is the kindest person you could ever meet. She loves dogs and immediately took Annie in as though her own. She is a dog whisperer. Annie loves her. She is truly a remarkable dog sitter and human being. We could always relax when we left Annie with her as we were totally confident in her ability to handle any situation that might arise as well as know she always was providing exceptional care and a happy and loving experience for our pup. As for Juni, Annie loved playing with her, sleeping next to her and just being with her whenever she would visit. Juni is the sweetest, most friendly and happy lab. Annie will miss her terribly. Annie would begin barking with excitement the moment we got off route 6 for Hyannis. This always made our hearts sing. Karen and Juni are simply exceptional. My wife, Annie, and I will forever miss them.”

“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Jen and her family took excellent care of our dog while he was staying with them. She took him for walks, played frisbee and let him run with her dog all day long. Our lab loved it there! They were very friendly, sent lots of pictures and were easy to coordinate pick up and drop off with. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely be boarding our dog with her again. She was wonderful!”

“I can’t express how grateful I am that we Kathleen. It was the perfect environment for my dog. She and her very nice family took such good care of him that he felt at home. She also sent us many updates and photos so I knew he was happy and safe. I highly recommend her and would rebook! Thank you so much to Kathleen and family because of your great care I didn’t have to worry about him at all!”
“Alyne was very responsive when we were communicating before I finalized the booking. She had let me know that she would be watching 2 other dogs and brought them out one at a time to make sure my dog was OK with them. She took great care of my dog!”

About: I’ve had a family dog my whole life, and my fiancé and I hope to have our own someday. Since we’re not able to right now, I get my dog fix through Rover! I’ve been active on Rover for over a year, doing walks, drop-ins, and house sitting pretty consistently. I love getting to care for all different kinds of dogs and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work full-time Monday–Friday from 8:30–4:30, with a lunch break where I can run home if needed. I’m always available on weekends and usually spend that time going on long walks, so I’m happy to include pets in my weekend plans! I treat every pet like my own! I follow their routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
“An exceptional stay for my little pupper. They were very communicative accommodating and very kind. This was actually the first time we've ever left our dog with someone and will definitely be doing it again with them. They also were able to help me out in a pinch last minute to walk her the following week. Can't say enough positive things about them”

“Hannah was so accommodating and patient for my anxious chihuahua mix. She had plenty of supplies on hand and other extras to make sure my dog felt comfortable. Her home was clean, tidy, and welcoming. Hannah’s great with sending photos and communicating quickly. I would love to book her again in the future, and I absolutely recommend using her services for your next pup sitter! :)”

“Melissa was a fantastic sitter for our pup! It was his first time staying with someone other than family and we could not have picked a better person! Melissa was so easy going, kept us informed through out his stay, sent pics and videos and even took him on a hike! I felt like he was with someone I knew while he was with Melissa and Sunny! Highly recommend and look forward to more sleepovers for Charlie!”


About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for my own pets and am comfortable with routines, attention, and companionship they need. I'm currently employed fulltime as a probation officer, but I am retiring in the near future, and I will have more time to devote to being a pet sitter. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy having a relaxed schedule and spending time with animals, so caring for your pets would be something I genuinely look forward to rather than a chore. I am happy to build my day around their needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I also understand that pets do best when their normal routines are maintained, so I'll do my best to keep things familiar and comfortable while you're away. I enjoy exploring new places, but I am equally happy spending time at home with a furry companion. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. When caring for pets in someone's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner's instructions carefully and make sure pets receive their meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Most importantly, I want pet owners to feel confident that their pets are being cared for by someone responsible, dependable, and genuinely happy to be there. I understand that every pet has different need and personalities, so I take time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. I am also respectful of the home and keep things clean and tidy.
“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!”


About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, and I’ve also provided intensive care for my own dog following a leg injury, including medication, monitoring, and following veterinary care instructions. I currently have two very loving, social dogs who enjoy meeting both people and other animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive, and loving care while they’re with me. I work a flexible client-based schedule that allows me to check in on pets throughout the day. I’m able to make visits between clients and provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding and can accommodate different routines based on each pet’s individual needs. My home is set up with pet safety and comfort in mind. I keep medications, food, and anything potentially harmful safely out of reach. I use separate food dishes and feeding areas for guest pets and my own dogs to help prevent food related conflicts. I also have dog gates throughout the home so pets can be safely separated when needed, along with a spacious area where they can play and relax. My two dogs are very friendly and enjoy the company of both people and other animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Woods Hole is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $61 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 320 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Woods Hole. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Woods Hole 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 Woods Hole 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 Woods Hole.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Woods Hole 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.
