“Leaving our elderly dog, Lulu, with Eva was like leaving her with a family member. She is by far the best and most trusted sitter we have EVER had. Special feeding instructions and care instructions were no problem for Eva. If you’re looking for a fantastic, attentive sitter, look no further. Thank you, Eva!!”
“Gail is a superstar! I needed to find a dog sitter at the last minute and had never used Rover before. Gail responded right away and made a plan to meet me and my pup right away to confirm it was a fit. Gail did a fantastic job watching Rocky! She sent me updates and I never had to think or worry about how things were going at home during our trip. I will absolutely use Gail again and cannot recommend her enough.”
“Stephanie is so responsive and has made great friends with our fur babies. She’ll send us updates and photos whenever we ask. She’s definitely our go to sitter!”
“Meredith was great with my two pups! — 13-year-old German Shepherd who had emergency surgery the day prior and 10-week-old English Cream Retriever who is very high energy and not yet potty trained. Meredith watched my pups in my home while I was away at work. I was updated hourly with photos. She was a pro at taking care of my puppy and followed my instructions to the tee. She even gave my senior pup her pain medication when she seemed uncomfortable. Both my pups were very happy when I returned. I will definitely be using Meredith again in the future!”
“Kim was wonderful watching our two dogs over night! She was extremely diligent and took great care of them and kept us updated. We will happily use Kim again and recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Thank you Katrina for your caring overnight stay with Katie and your being available on such short notice is so appreciated! Katie is surely looking forward to the next petsitting adventure with you!”
“We knew our high energy pups were in the absolute best hands with Paige!! They loved her immediately and our anxious doggo was totally at ease. She sent us a bunch of photos and left the house very clean! We were grateful to find such a genuine and caring person to love on our dogs while out of town— already planning to use Paige as a dog/house sitter in the future.”
About: I bring high-energy, all-terrain enthusiasm to every pet I care for! Whether I’m biking, swimming, running, walking, rollerblading, or scootering, I stay active so your dog can too. I’ve worked with pups of all ages—from playful puppies to mellow seniors—and tailor each walk or visit to fit their pace and personality. Pets aren’t just cared for, they’re engaged and uplifted. Let’s turn walk time into mission time! I work from home full-time, which means I’m always nearby and flexible. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I schedule walks, playtime, and snuggles around my work. I treat every pet like family—whether they're with me or I'm visiting their home. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly dogs for social play. I follow any special instructions you provide and can crate your pup if needed. Clean spaces, constant supervision, and a whole lot of love ensure your pet’s comfort and security.
“Ella was just great with my new rescue dog tonight when I went out for a family dinner. I felt a dog sitter was the way to go since my new dog has separation anxiety and is not house trained yet. Ella was a good match keeping her calm and getting her to pee outside. I really appreciated having Ella here as it made my evening more relaxed and enjoyable.”
About: I have been working part time at the vets office for two years, taking care of boarded animals. I see a large variety of pets weekly, as I am a kennel attendant. I meet dogs and cats of all ages and breeds all the time. I have always had a special connection with animals. I stopped eating meat when I was six years old because I learned the chickens on the farm were what chicken nuggets are made of. I’ve grown up helping out at farms, as I’ve always had a drive to help animals to the best of my ability. I’ve been watching pets for the past three years and I have never met a dog that didn’t end up liking me by the end of the day! My entire life is based around animals, as I have my own pets and I’m a full-time pet sitter. I truly spend more time with pets than people, and I enjoy it. I take great pride in caring for pets, whether in my own home or others'. I go above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable, providing them with personalized attention and care. From maintaining their routines to offering plenty of playtime and cuddles, I make sure their environment is stress-free and enjoyable. Whether it's administering medications or ensuring they have all the comforts they need, I treat each pet as if they were my own, always striving to exceed expectations! I do not take any dogs with even the slightest aggression towards other animals into my home.
“Morgan was a wonderful dog sitter. She offered to arrive early, was perfect with our two dogs and sent us pictures throughout the evening. We will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I have periodically taken care of pets all of my life. A roommate of mine had a lab, Lola, and we lived together for 3 years. I knew her from when she was a puppy. I also have other friends now who have dogs and I often care for them. My partner's family also has a scottie, and my relatives have both doodles and labs that I take care of often. I just left my corporate job and am taking some time off while I study for both my school teaching and pilates teaching certification exams. I mostly have an open schedule. Happy to follow whatever environment you wish for your pet. I am careful about closing doors slowly/not opening them all the way/not leaving them open to ensure security.
About: I spent the past spring caring for a sweet German shepherd named Lyla. I’ve taken care of my family dog since I was very young. I also grew up a dog sitting for my neighbors and the families I babysat for. I encountered many breeds and many sizes of dogs with various energy levels. I continue to dog sit at school for friends on sports teams, who have to travel for the weekend. I used to volunteer at the Nashville Humane Association for a few hours a week while I was at college. Here I got exposure to all different kinds of breeds of cats and dogs. I really enjoy working with and being around animals. As my life is too uncertain to get a pet of my own, I will take any opportunity to spend some time with animals and others’ pets! I just graduated from Vanderbilt and am working on island for the summer. I can be available all weekdays as well as weekends however my main job schedules varies so just ask! I have over 10 years of experience around dogs and working professionally with different animals. I am very aware of dog safety, and also dog body language and warning signs. And I know how to be very stern and get loving with animals and keep them under control.
“Rachel did a wonderful job caring for Meloni the month I was away. She was kind, considerate, and made sure to update me when anything seemed slightly amiss with him. Highly recommend.”
About: I have owned dogs for my entire life, and have experience training puppies and caring for elderly dogs. I have also babysat or made house visits for other dogs frequently. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I would be able to do morning house visits or walks (ending at 11am) on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I will be available any time on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, granted I have a weeks notice. I am willing to adapt to any caretaking rules you may have in place for your dog at your own home (i.e. the rooms they are allowed in, outside time, etc). I can stay with the dog for as long as you need me to as long as there is communication.
About: I've taken care of dogs and been around them my whole life. I also have experience with cats as well. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I would love to provide care for your pets! I work full-time but I generally have two days off on my schedule. I can also visit your pets before and after work and stay overnight! I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. If I’m caring for pets in the client’s home, I treat their space with respect and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to minimize stress. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, so they feel loved and secure while their owners are away.
About: I have been a pet sitter for the last 10 years, working for neighbors as well as for the families I was nannying for. I am committed to the dogs I am caring for and I will treat them as if they are my own. I currently work in a hotel and taking care of animals in my free time would be work that I am very passionate about. I am happy to take the dogs on walks, or host in your home. I currently work part time so I would love to fill my free time caring for animals. I spend most nights on long walks so it would be great to have a companion to keep me company. I am very responsible and trustworthy. I would treat your dog and your home as if it is my own. I am happy to feed, play, walk, go to the beach, or anything that will make the pets happy.
About: *Martha’s Vineyard Only* I have had pets of all kinds for as far back as I can remember. I currently have a very loving, sweet, energetic and playful dog of my own, Lola. She is 10 years old and enjoys playing with new friends! I am knowledgable and caring and will provide your dog with lots of love and care! I am comfortable caring for dogs of any size and breed as well as administering medication (oral, injections, eye and ear drops and topicals). I currently work part time from home so I am flexible and available throughout the day to tend to and care for pets in my care I have a fenced in yard, but don’t leave dogs unattended in the yard. I have a dog of my own to provide your dog with companionship and a playmate while they stay with us! A crate is not required but I’m happy to set yours up if it makes your dog comfortable. I can provide care for potty trained dogs, though I am comfortable with and have experience with senior dogs who require diapers.
About: Beyond being a dog owner myself to my beloved rescue Jordi, I've also taken more dog sitting jobs than I can count. I LOVE dogs! I like to go the extra mile by taking dogs on extra long walks and adventures, always administering their medication at the correct time, giving dogs extra love and cuddles, and always keeping the house super neat and tidy. I already walk my own dog twice a day, and he loves walking with a friend! If you need a drop in visit or occasional help with a dog walk, it's already a part of my routine. Of course I do not need to bring my own dog, but if your dog enjoys the companionship of other dogs, it could be a great option! I am not allowed to have any more pets other than my own where I am currently living so I will not be able to board your dog, only house sit. Thanks for understanding.
About: I love dogs and as a certified dog trainer have the experience and knowledge to bring joy and fun to your loved pet's time with me. I'm a retired cattle farmer and a professional dog trainer. I'm now a full-time columnist and author living on Martha's Vineyard. I'd love to spend quality time with your pets as I finish my third book. I give each pet individual attention and love. Since I work from home, I'll be with your pet most of the time I'm pet sitting.
