“Briana was great! She was gentle and sweet with our sometimes shy, sometimes exuberant shepherd mix. He seemed to love her immediately at the meet and greet, which is unusual. When she came to run him, she quickly noticed he seemed tired from the heat that day so went easy on him and hung out with him at home instead. We will definitely be using her again!”
“While vacationing in Nantucket with my dog Jack, I decided last minute to give River a try. After reading all the reviews, Bradley was the perfect fit for what I needed. Brad was always on time, great with communication on what Jack had done during their 30 min walk, fed Jack and made sure he had fresh water. Jack took very quickly to Brad and was excited for their daily walks. As a first time River user I was thrilled with both Brad and the app - I highly recommend both!”
“Elizah is wonderful and Winston always came back happy and full of energy. Her love of animals is genuine and her willingness help is unmatched. No owner will regret acquiring her services, she's great!”

About: I grew up around dogs and have spent most of my life caring for them.

I prioritize a calm, safe environment and make sure pets feel secure and cared for. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you know how they’re doing.
About: I’ve trained my own dog from a puppy, and recently trained a rescue dog who was once reactive and skiddish, now he’s confident and mellow. I love pets and always put them first; I just moved to Charlottesville with my dog and he’s been my absolute priority. I know how anxious pets can get when their humans leave, and I’m happy to help you help them feel comfortable. I am a college student working on my masters degree. I have pretty generous gaps in my day to care for pets. I have my own dog as well and am happy to do walks with both dogs! He’s very friendly and mellow. I will always respect a pets space. If in my home, the pet will have its own space to make its own. I want pets to feel happy and taken care of, and I will walk and play with your pup or cat happily! If a dog is reactive or has some disability, I have experience dealing with these issues and will adjust my care accordingly.

About: I have been taking care of my family's cats since I was in elementary school, but started fostering dogs two years ago. I ended up foster failing with my boy Maximus and it’s been all adventures since :) I am very comfortable working with any size leash reactive and anxious dogs and have been working through Maximus’ leash frustration for the past couple years. I truly love all animals and have been walking dogs on rover for a couple years now. I just moved to the Bay Area and I’m excited to meet some pups out here! I’m currently working full time with pretty standard hours. I am very flexible in the evenings after work and on the weekends. Let me know if you need a before work walk and I could probably make that happen! I live by myself in an apartment but I live very close to parks. I also love tiring out my dog with a hike and happy to do that with yours!
About: When your dog stays with us, he will feel like he’s on vacation too! My husband and I are energetic, loving, and always ready for playtime, snuggles, or a good adventure. We live in a beautiful area with plenty of green spaces and we love to hike and trail walking— so your pup will get plenty of opportunities to explore and exercise with us! Every pup i’ve taken care of has become part of my family and takes a piece of my heart with him. So let’s chat and arrange the break in routine that you and your pup both deserve! I’m currently a stay at home wife and I love the outdoors, so having a companion for my walks will be a win-win situation! I am available to take walks at multiple times of the day! We live in an apartment but there are lots of designated pet and green areas around our complex and lots of trails that we can walk to. I like to spend time outside and live an energetic lifestyle. I love training puppies and I have even successfully trained adult rescue dogs when guven enough time.
About: I have watched animals most of my life. I would walk family pets, neighbors, etc. I do a lot of overnight sitting while friends/family are on vacations.

It keeps me busy, but I can happily fill in playtime with another pet. I have a very gentle big dog, a family that loves pets and a fully fenced-in yard. We are mere steps from the dog park, the beach and the state forest, so plenty of opportunities for any kind of pet.

Elizah was responsive and happy to help us with very short notice. She was so attentive that she even brought a sweater for our 9 year old lab for his walks. So kind and did not shy away from coming to a relatively remote part of the idleness multiple times a day. Highly recommend

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Nantucket on Rover is $29.96 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Nantucket. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Nantucket.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nantucket. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
