“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!”
About: I grew up around dogs and have spent most of my life caring for them. I regularly walk and watch my sister’s French Bulldog, and I’ve also dog-sat and house-sat for families with a Bernedoodle and a Golden Retriever. I love spending time outside with dogs and am always happy to go on multiple walks a day. I believe plenty of playtime, attention, and affection make for the best experience, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets a lot of attention and consistency while you’re away. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or multiple visits a day. I grew up with multiple cats and am very comfortable caring for them, along with dogs as well. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. 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.
“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!”
About: Ever since I was little, I have had a special love for animals-exhibited by the extensive and conclusive dog breed book that I made when I was 8! Rover has offered the perfect opportunity for me to share my love for animals and care-taking, without the full-time commitment of owning my own pet. Recently graduated and relocated from Denver, I hope to continue my care-taking journey by offering my services to the wonderful families and furry friends in Nantucket! I currently work part-time 8-3 at the Westmoor Club but am dedicating my free time to care services! I want to keep the process easy and breezy as possible for my clients so if you have any questions or requests regarding scheduling, please let me know! Any rules you have for home and pet care, I’ll follow to a tee. I know that maintaining routines for pets is essential to their wellbeing while their parents are away!
About: I work at the shelter and have walked, worked with, and helped train dogs young and old there for two years now. I'm able to give dogs medication and I'm comfortable dealing with behavioral pups. I do all hands on animal care at the shelter with pets young and old. I have Monday-Friday off to walk your pups! I can walk anytime after 8am and I'm generally flexible. For cats I can stop by your house for breakfast and dinner everyday of the week for up to 2 weeks! I have training on how to safely handle dogs of all sizes and personalities. I will always walk your dog with their safety in mind while still having fun! When cat sitting I will stop in twice a day for food, clean water, and lots of love.
About: Hi everyone! My name is Sammie, I graduated from Tulane last May and am on island until Labor Day! I’ve grown up around all kinds of dogs, so I'm beyond familiar with puppy (or not-so-puppy) chaos. I've also gained extensive cat-caring experience over the past few years. After living with a cute yet cunning black kitty, I'd like to think I am quite well-versed in cat care and companionship. I adore all animals, and would love to help out with your pet. I'm open to rate negotiation. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested! I tend to have full availability and am here until Labor Day. I have a very flexible schedule as long as I know about changes in advance! Staying attentive around your pet is essential to ensuring their safety and your peace of mind! Actively engaging and (sometimes) exercising are some of the best parts of having a pet. I know each animal is different, so I do my best to cater to each one specifically. This includes attention, medicine administration, extra exercise, etc. I am flexible and ready to fit your needs as best I can!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12. Not only my animals, but neighbors and family friends. I’m a Vet Tech at the local animal hospital, so I’m prepared to care for your pets! I work full time as a Vet Tech, but have plenty of time in the morning, lunch time, and after work to care for your pets! Pets will be cared for in my home or a clients home as if they are my own; with care and love! I will do what I can to make them feel at home.
About: I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds - from dogs and cats to hamsters and fish. Since childhood, I’ve fed, walked, and ensured comfort for my pets, and even looked after stray animals. Your pet will be in safe, caring hands! I work online, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet - whether it’s for walks, feeding, playtime, or simply giving them attention. I believe it’s the perfect setup to balance my work with caring for a pet, ensuring they get the best care possible! I’m passionate about caring for pets - whether it’s dog walking, training, or playtime - all in the comfort of your own home. My main focus is on dog walking, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need
About: I have had a dog in my life since the day I was born. While I don’t have a pet of my own at the moment, I grew up with Golden retrievers and have experience helping my family raise 3 puppies - our 4th golden is currently 8 years old :) I also have experience caring for elderly dogs with arthritis/limited mobility and incontinence. I want every dog to know they are loved and cared for and hope that this channels into a stress-free (and fun) environment with me. I treat all animals as my own! I hope you will find you can trust me to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible! I am fully vaccinated as of 4/17/21 👩🏼⚕️🧬🩺 I do currently work full time from 930-5, so please be aware that midday drop-ins during the week (while house sitting) will be during my 30 minute lunch break and will include my driving time. I work in a very central office so this usually still leaves plenty of time for a bathroom break/romp in the yard. I am available for drop-ins any time on the weekends. For walks, I am available 730am-9am in the morning and 5pm-dusk M-F, and all day Saturday + Sunday. Additional rates may apply for longer required driving distance. Please feel free to message me about a drop-in or walk you need on the weekend if the time slot isn’t showing up when you go to book - it seems like there are issues with setting separate availability for week days vs weekends. I will follow whatever rules you normally enforce (or don’t!) in your house when you are gone and I will stick to your pet’s feeding schedule so that their routine remains regular. Just let me know any special needs before departing. Nothing is too much trouble :)
About: I have had chocolate labs to care for and love throughout my life as well as years of experience with dog sitting and cat sitting!! I currently work part time and shifts vary on the day! I am open most of the day— just reach out and we can figure something out! I will be happy to petsit any pets and help out with feeding, going to the bathroom, and going on walks! I will be sure to respect clients home space.
“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 have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and have cared for animals for the past 30 years. I have volunteered with animal rescues on Nantucket and in Boton. I absolutely love animals and will go to any length to ensure your pet is safe and properly cared for. I’m currently available for part or full time care and possess almost 30 years of experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Depending on the owner’s guidelines and the pet’s needs, I will always go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy, well taken care of, and of course safe.
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.
“Miranda was communicative, responsive, and reliable throughout the entire process. She took great care of our dog, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”
About: I love animals i have had dogs, cats, horses, chickens all my life. You will not find a more dedicated person than me. Your pets will get an abundance of snuggles from me. I am currently employed by the local animal hospital as a veterinary technician. I live with my wife, who's an occupational therapist at the human hopital( don't worry, she loves animals too), two daughters (9 and 12 years of age) and a Bernese mountain dog ( 5 years old) and two adopted kittens. 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 August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 298 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Nantucket. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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:
- 89% 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.
