“I could relax on my vacation because Beth Ann was caring for Juno! She sent updates and photos and took her on long walks, even in the pouring rain! She gave her all the attention and love she needed; I knew Juno was having as much fun as I was!”
“Caitlin and her family were sure to make Aila feel right at home during her 5 night stay. Every picture update Aila looked comfortable, happy, and having so much fun. Caitlin was flexible with drop off and pick up times and provided timely responses/updates on Aila throughout her stay. I highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Lucy really enjoyed her time with Michele. She settled in with no problems to a new environment and enjoyed the other companions and fenced yard. The best were the walks! Michele kept in touch and shared photos. Will definitely rebook!”
“scott & shayla are amazing! they took incredible care of our 10 month old fox red lab for two weeks. initially i was hesitant to leave her for the first time but they clearly have a way with dogs. i was able to pick up and drop off my dog to go to the beach or leave her for the day based on work; their flexibility made things so easy and enjoyable. we received texts and photo updates and calmed my nerves immediately. i will definitely work with scott and shayla in the near future! thank you both :)”
“I would give them 10 stars if that were possible! We were so pleased with Andrea and Bob and the wonderful care they gave our 11 yr old Rhody boy while we were away. We felt confident that he was in good hands every day and appreciated that they sent us lots of photos, too. I recommend them highly and will definitely look them up when we plan our next trip! Really nice folks. Very accommodating. We appreciated their extra efforts. Especially since this was a family emergency type trip with short notice.”
“Caitlin & Jeff were great! - easy drop-off - updates & pix during our dog's stay - prompt replies to texts They were very trustworthy & reliable ... would definitely use again.”
“I’m so happy we found Karen, she takes such amazing care of our Goldie and sends us lots of updates. It definitely calms our anxiety (which is high!!) when we have to leave her! It’s also such a relief that Goldie has Juni to hang out with, such a sweet girl.”
“Chelsea was great! She was flexible and able to handle our (multiple) time changes as we navigated traffic down into Cape Cod. She was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with, and sent pictures every morning. Most importantly, our dogs were calm and happy when we came to pick them up. Would definitely leave my pup with Chelsea again.”
“Julie was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup, and Julie sent multiple daily updates, and was so welcoming, caring and kind. I HIGHLY recommend Julie and we will be booking with her (and her wonderful dog Ellie) again.”
“Madaket was wonderful. I was sent pictures of my dog Shelby during my 2-week absence. I really appreciated that. It certainly looked like Shelby was enjoying herself. I would highly recommend Madaket as a dog sitter and plan to use her again!”
“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!”
About: My name is Eric and I live in Falmouth with my wife, 3 children, basset hound and bunny. I work as a firefighter paramedic and have a rotating schedule with 6/8 days off. Looking to fill my time with taking care of your furry family members. We can host or my wife or I can stay in your home. We can also do drop in visits or walks throughout the day. I am comfortable administering medications orally or injected for pets requiring it. We are an active family that loves walks, playing fetch or just rolling around the yard. We do limit dogs that stay with us to be good with children ages 3-11 and other dogs. If we don't have a service listed please ask!
“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!”
“Ollie had the best time! Katie and Jessie were patient as Ollie warmed up, they took him to the beach and on a boat ride. Overall they treated him like their own pet and Ollie seemed happy. They sent multiple photos each day and were very responsive. Great sitters!”
“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.”
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. I’m home the majority of the time. Cozy corner in my den seems to be everyone’s favorite hangout and spot for their bed. The ilving room has multiple sunny spots for napping throughout the day. We will take several neighborhood walks a day and if dog and owner are willing, I go to Thompson’s field in Harwich where they can romp.
“Ann was great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and communication was great for the overnight. You could tell Philly was comfortable the whole time. Will absolutely book again.”
About: I love spending time with animals and I am caring and understanding. I can cuddle with your pet if it seems like it's missing its owners! I am a senior at the College of Charleston and looking to do something I love during my free time and help those of you who needs a dog walker or sitter! I am able to care for your pets in my home. I live in an apartment on king street which is a very safe and friendly environment for taking them on walks and bathroom breaks when needed!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nantucket
Aaron is an intelligent guy with a lot of dog knowledge & experience. Both our young, energetic dogs were very comfortable with him and on pick up, they tried to get into *his* car for their next adventure instead of our car with my husband! This says a lot, because one of our dogs is an anxious guy who up until recently was fearful of car rides because he was in a car accident with shelter staff as a puppy. Aaron was also very accommodating of our wish to have the dogs meet him ahead of our trip due to this same dog's general anxiety. We would recommend Aaron for dog sitting or doggy day care & won't hesitate to engage his help in the future.
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!

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.
91% of sitters in Nantucket 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 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.
<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 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.
