“Aaron was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! He kept me updated the entire time with messages and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. He took my fur baby on fun little adventures, and it was obvious she was having the best time. When I arrived to pick her up, she was happy, relaxed, and her usual go-lucky self—which says everything about the care she received. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely with my pup and would 100% recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“We are beyond grateful for the amazing care that Andrea and Bob gave our dog, Zoey! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in wonderful hands. They kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It's clear that Andrea and Bob genuinely love animals and treat them like family. Zoey came home happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed her time with them. We couldn't have asked for better pet sitters and will absolutely trust them with Zoey again in the future. Thank you both for taking such great care of our girl! We highly recommend you to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet sitters.”
“Scott & Shayla were amazing with our active puppy! She had long walks and evening snuggles. Our rental did not allow dogs, but we were able to spend time with her during our vacation. Five-star experience!”
“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.”
“Caitlin was incredibly responsive when scheduling with us. She was flexible when we had to adjust times and quick to reply. Super grateful we found her and she was able to take care of our pup for 2 nights. Would recommend and use again!”
“Izzy was absolutely amazing! My dog has anxiety and is reactive with other dogs but she was great with him. She kept me updated on how he was doing and any issues he had. She took wonderful care of Wally and I’ll absolutely be using her in the future. Genuinely my only complaint is that she doesn’t charge enough for the great service she gives!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Madaket was fantastic, we arrived at the property and my dog Olympia started sprinting around with her dog Millie. The property was also very large, which gave Olympia plenty of room to enjoy herself. Madaket sent several pictures and videos throughout the day. There is nothing better than feeling confident that your dog doesn’t miss you because you know they are having such a good time ?! I’d be happy to leave Olympia there any time! Plus she gave Olympia a little blue bandana ?”
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.
“Kayla was amazing! She helped me out when I was in a pinch and was available the day before I had to leave. Drop off and pick up was easy. I would definitely choose Kayla to watch my pup in the future! ❤️”
“Our dog Rosco had a great time with Alyne! We were kept up to date on how Rosco was doing and sent many pictures. We were very happy with the service Alyne provided and will certainly use her again in the future!”
“Ruby was wonderful with our dog, Moose. We were able to leave town and not worry about him. She also sent us some great photos and videos of Moose playing with other dogs in her care. I highly recommend her!”
“Isabella and her Fiancée, Connor, were amazing. Our dogs can be a bit needy and timid. Based on the daily pictures Isabella sent us, the pups were having the time of their lives (my golden retriever was actually a bit sad to leave.) Great at responding and flexible to our schedule. We’d absolutely use them again in the future.”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nantucket
Aaron was wonderful! He made the entire process so easy, from communication to caring for our pet. It gave us peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!
Angela is amazing! We were staying on Nantucket for three nights and for our first night the place was not dog friendly so she spent the night with Angela. For the next two days she was with her for the day so we could go explore. She also kept her late one night so we could have a nice dinner out. Our girl Mila took to her right away. Angela was very communicative and sent updates. She was also very flexible with pickups and drop offs. I highly recommend her! Thanks Angela!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Nantucket on Rover is $72.15 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 95 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Nantucket. 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.
92% of Nantucket 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 Nantucket 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 Nantucket 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 Nantucket.
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 Nantucket 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.
