About: I provide care that’s personalized, patient, and focused on each dog’s unique needs. I take the time to understand your pup’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly schedule. I structure my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins so each pet gets consistent attention. I start the morning with walks and potty breaks. I schedule midday visits and evening routines to keep pets on a predictable schedule that feels just like home. When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that feels like a home away from home. I follow each dog’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walk times, crate preferences, and any house rules you have. I provide plenty of supervised playtime, daily walks, and lots of affection. I keep common areas clean, offer cozy resting spots, and ensure pets are never left alone for long periods. Safety is a priority, so I always secure doors, monitor interactions, and use leashes during outdoor time.
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.
“Kayla was absolutely wonderful and I will use her services again! She was sweet and caring with my dog, and the dog was very happy with her. I had a family reunion and every day was a different schedule. Kayla was so flexible and accommodating to my needs. She had excellent communication and response to my texts. A great experience!”
“Monty had such a great day with Ruby! We would 100% have him go to Ruby's again next time we are on the Vineyard. She was so accommodating, sent us updates, made sure he was comfortable, and even offered to pick him up/drop him off. Hue thanks!”
“Rachel was very responsive, sent feedback and pictures and was flexible about pickup and drop off times. She lives in a quiet neighborhood great for walks and got my dog out for 2 of them! My shy dog seemed to settle in and get comfortable with her and Andrew. Overall I was very happy with her care and I plan to use her again”
“My dog, Kiwi, had a fabulous visit with Andrea and Bob! They were extremely communicative and accommodating before our visit. They took care to learn Kiwi’s quirks, likes, and dislikes (she has a big personality, so there are a lot!). They even had toys and balls at their house for her to play with. It’s clear that they are experienced and intuitive dog caretakers, which is so important to me as a nervous dog mom. When I went to pick her up, Kiwi was all smiles and happy body language…I know she had a fabulous time and can’t wait to go back! Thank you, Andrea and Bob.”
“Chelsea was great with my Cosmo. Got lots of picture updates and felt very confident that Cosmo was being well cared for, safe and happy. Loved knowing that he was enjoying time with other pups!”
About: Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m thrilled to meet your canine, feline, or even small animal best friend. Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I’ve also fostered cats, boarded dogs, and taken courses in animal behavior and cognition, giving me a solid foundation in understanding pets’ needs. I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible and personalized care for your pet. Whether it’s walks to a nearby park, playtime or adhering to your pet’s specific routine, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels at home. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or last-minute help, my flexible schedule allows me to provide the attention your pet deserves. Weekends and holidays? No problem—I’m here for you! Happy to take care of your pet the way you need (e.g., crate, no crate, bathroom outings every 2 hours, scheduled meals, etc.). I’m very flexible and will work with you on any special requests.
“I booked Stephen the same day 1 hour before booking. He was very generous and took amazing care of my Poppy. He also kept me updated with texts and pictures. Poppy was very happy. I highly recommend and will definitely book again when I’m in the area.”
About: Hi! We’re a dependable, dog-loving family offering in-home dog boarding and dog sitting on Cape Cod. If you’re looking for a safe, attentive, and comfortable home for your dog while you’re away, you’ve found it. We both work from home, so your dog will never be alone. We have a small, friendly Labradoodle who loves other dogs and is very used to sharing his space. Because of that, visiting dogs typically adjust quickly and feel right at home here. We’ve cared for many friends’ dogs over the years, including puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. We’re comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, from active dogs who need lots of playtime and walks to more relaxed dogs who just want a calm, cozy environment. We have used pet sitters several times for our own travels, so we know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved fur baby with a stranger. We will make your dog one of our family and give you regular updates, including photos. We know how important it is to trust who you leave your dog with. Our goal is simple: make your dog feel safe, happy, and cared for, so you can relax while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet & greet—we’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine because we both work from home full-time. This allows us to build our day around the dogs in our care rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Our typical day includes morning potty breaks and walks, followed by a relaxed workday where dogs have plenty of supervision, companionship, and opportunities to go outside as needed. We take breaks throughout the day for playtime, short walks, and attention, depending on each dog’s energy level and routine. In the evenings, we usually incorporate longer walks, playtime, or wind-down time, making sure dogs are settled and comfortable before bedtime. Because dogs are part of our home environment, they’re included in our daily rhythm—not treated as an afterthought. On weekends, we’re generally home and maintain a similar routine, with even more flexibility for walks, outdoor time, and one-on-one attention. Overall, having dogs in our care is something we genuinely enjoy and prioritize, and our schedule allows us to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and week. We care for every dog as if they’re our own, with a focus on keeping their routine consistent, their environment safe, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Before any stay, we take time to understand your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any quirks or preferences—so we can mirror what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. In our home, dogs get: Plenty of supervision (we both work from home, so they’re rarely alone) Regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime based on their energy level A calm, safe environment with space to relax or socialize Lots of attention and affection throughout the day We’re also comfortable administering basic medications if needed and following any specific care instructions you provide.
“Michele took good care of our senior dog so we could be tourists in Chatham for the day! She’s got a great fenced in and grassy back yard and even took notes for our dogs special needs.”
About: I’ve lived with, cared for and loved pets for my whole life. I’ve been helping friends, family members and neighbors with their dogs for many years. Having just lost my beloved dog of the last 11 years, I truly miss the company and would love to spend time with and help someone out with theirs. I'm a reliable, easy going person who genuinely loves spending time with pups of all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog is full of zoomies or prefers a slow sniff-and-stroll, I'm happy to match their vibe. I am new mom with a little one. I’m enjoying my days at home with him. I can have him tag along or come alone. I have a fenced in back yard for your pup to run around in. I’m happy to walk your pup in your neighborhood or bring them on adventure to one of many walking spots the Cape has to offer.
“Kathleen was a delight for me and my dog. It was a last-minute booking. So having never met my dog before drop-off, she took time for my dog to get comfortable with her before I left. And then she sent almost a dozen pictures and videos while I was away for about seven hours. She also sent several updates (and compliments) about my dog, so I didn’t even have to wonder if everything was going well. She obviously loves dogs.”
“Abby was so amazing!!! I work long hours at the hospital and she not only picked my dog up from my apt but went above and beyond, taking my dog to the dog park and the beach! She sent multiple updates throughout the day. She was also easy to reach, very responsive, and friendly. I would highly recommend Abby to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“So thankful for Helena and her cat! My lil guy Guinness had a wonderful day playing and walking and fetching. Happy to be dropped off, happy after I picked him up. Thank you Helena!! Will hit you up next time I’m on the cape with Guinness for sure.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Nantucket commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 63 sitters in Nantucket, 98% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
