House Sitting in Nantucket

“While we were away for a medical procedure, our 15 year old dog became quite ill, requiring lots of attention and complex caregiving — and house cleaning — as well as comforting. Caitlin managed all parts of this VERY difficult booking, which was much more than she bargained for, with competence and grace , and kept her safe and comfortable while we scheduled the Vet and raced home. We were so relieved to have such close and competent attention for our little girl, and grateful for Caitlin‘s grace and confidence at a precarious time. We can’t say enough good about Caitlin and we can’t thank herenough.”

“Jena is simply the best! She went above and beyond to take care of our Great Dane puppy, Rosco. Rosco lost his first tooth and the tooth fairy left him a pup cup :) Jena’s energy is infectious and no wonder Rosco was sad to see her leave. We look forward to having her back again. Xx, Rosco’s Hoomans”

“Jackie is the best! She stayed at our house with our babies for 8 nights while we were overseas, and Brenda and Dylan just loved her. She sent tons of photos and was in touch every day so we knew what they were up to. And she even baked them homemade dog biscuits! Cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

“She was wonderful, took well care my dog. She is very responsible and answers my text right away.”

“Olivia was great. She took care of our dog Buster while we had to go off island for a funeral. Olivia keep us updated with pictures and messages multiple times while we were away. I have let my whole family know when they are staying on the island and need Pet sitting to look no further contact Olivia!!”

About: I'm a true dog person through and through. I've spent my whole life with dogs, growing up with a yellow lab puppy, taking her to training every Sunday, with agility lessons twice a week. Then a little later in life, I adopted a chihuahua who was my senior dog and best friend for 17 years. I have experience hiking with dogs, taking care of senior pets (can use strollers, backpacks and bags with them if they have difficulty going on long walks but love the fresh air!). I also have experience with rescues, as 4 years ago my partner and I adopted a German Shepherd who came from a rough spot in Philadelphia. Through lots of love, training, support and tons of walks, she's a sweet confident and playful girl now! I have experience administering medication of all sorts (but can especially help those who are picky sneak it in - I did it with my chihuahua for 7 years!) Thank you for the chance to look after your family member - I know having someone who is kind and attentive to your pup is the next best thing to being able to be with them. :) I work from home with a flexible work schedule, meaning that there are time blocks available during the day each week, on weekends, and usually after 5 PM! If we get into a routine and you would like a consistent day each week (or multiple times a week, please let me know, and I can book my calendar out as needed! I can help ensure that food is administered properly and cleaned up afterwords, I can take the mail in, water your plants, make sure that there isn't anything dangerous for you pup to get into.

“We really couldn't have had a better experience! Our dog Stanley does not make a good first impression, but Brad was so calm and patient with him. We set up a few visits between Brad and Stanley before we left for a long vacation and they became fast friends. This was our first time leaving our pup alone so we were nervous. He could not have been in better hands. Brad took amazing care of Stanley and gave us adorable photo updates throughout our trip. Stanley has made a new friend for life and we are thrilled! I would absolutely work with Brad again. He took great care of our best little buddy and our home at the same time. THANK YOU BRAD!”

“Kathryn was exceptional with our dog, Cooper. I highly recommend her to care for your furry companion. The house was left immaculate. We will most definitely have her come take care of Cooper in the future.”

“Caroline was great, responsive, easy to schedule with, and took great care of my dog for three days.”

“There is no one I would trust more with my pet than Angela. She is a very responsible, loving and passionate dog owner herself and she brings those traits over when watching others pets. Over the many years of knowing her she has frequently taken care of my animals. I know that they are in safe hands when with her because she treats them as she would her own. I highly reccomend Angela for any dog caregiving needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was able to walk. I grew up walking two border collies, and a golden retriever every night with my mom, and even took a job at a doggie daycare as my first job! My boyfriend has a NISHA pup that I walk and run on the beach year round! I’ve graduated from doggie day care and now i am currently a nurse who still loves going on walks. However, not having a dog of my own, i love being able to help out others and take your pup along with me on my days off! Im always respectful when picking up your pet, and have no problem meeting before hand to make you feel comfortable with me! I promise to keep your dog happy, healthy, and hydrated on every walk!

“Oh my gosh, Basil had an amazing time with Scott & Shayla, what a delightful couple. We were on Nantucket for a destination wedding. There were events over the course of 3 days with a lot of moving parts, Scott & Shayla were so flexible with some schedule changes for some of their sitting time. Since COVID, Basil can not be left alone, separation anxiety. Scott & Shayla, spent their time with Basil on our live on boat, taking him for walks, snuggling with him and accepting big dog kisses. You can't go wrong with the two of them, Basil highly recommends them : > Oh and did we mention he is a 160 Newfoundland, lot's of dog.”

“I have two dogs, and two cats. I travel at least once a week , and Elizah ( my daughter) is responsible for their care. She feeds them, walks the dogs, plays with them,and sees that the oldest dog gets his meds .in the summer she takes them to the beach. They both love to swim, and play ball. She takes photos bf sends them to me so I can see them, or will face time.. I never worry about them when I am traveling because I know they are in the best of care. She loves them, and they just adore her. Honest , reliable, and compassionate. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Our dog Charlie loves Ciara and looks forward to her visits. She is kind, compassionate and very trustworthy. Our minds are completely at rest while we are away from home, when he is in her care.”

“I have been a friend of Mia’s since we were in kindergarten, and she has always loved animals. She loved coming over and playing with my own cats, and eventually got two of her own. She is always very patient and gentle with animals, not forceful like many other people are. She takes amazing care of her two kitties, even making sure to carefully wipe their eyes when they water due to their breed. She is the sweetest person I have ever known and is very loyal and trustworthy, a testament to our 12+ years of friendship. I would absolutely recommend her to take care of any animals— cats, dogs, etc. She has even taken care of my four cats wh”

“Kenia was super loving and caring with my American Staffordshire Pit-bull, Pretty. She would take her for longer walks than scheduled and even offered diet recommendations for her. My dog absolutely adored her and wouldn’t want her to leave. You won’t make the wrong choice in choosing her to be your dog walker!”

“Brian is a super detail oriented and caring individual. He's the kind of guy that actively seeks out opportunities to help others. His lovely dog Marsten was one of my housemates when we all lived together, and I don't know that I've ever experienced a more loving and attentive owner/pet relationship anywhere else in my life. I trust Brian with completeness. He is a person of great integrity, with an enormous capacity for love.”

“One of the few non family members that i would ever trust with my dog, an american bully pit with allergies, and be certain he is in great care.”

I am an early riser and can adapt to match your dogs typical schedule. My daily routine consists of walking dogs and thats pretty much it!

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Jessica for over 25 years. She is a lovely, caring person, super funny and easygoing, enjoys the outdoors and is an accomplished artist. She is a total animal lover and is great with all pets. Putting everyone ( including pets) around her at ease instantly and truly knows how to be in the moment. I would recommend Jessica for your pet sitting needs. She has taken care of both my elderly dog who has crossed the rainbow bridge and now my younger lab who has some anxiety issues and understands her needs perfectly. Jessica's home is lovely and cozy and she has a convenient dog walking trail nearby. Hire her, you will be so glad and so will your precious pet!”
