“Maddie was absolutely wonderful with Bella! She went above and beyond in her caretaking of Bella when I had to travel for a few days. She walked Bella and spent extra time keeping her company for which I am grateful!”
“Izzy was great with Bella! She was prompt, followed instructions and was communicative. Bella enjoyed her time with Izzy and we would definitely use her again!”
“Cate was wonderful . Our 17 year old Cocker Spaniel can be very needy due to his age . She was very attentive .”
“Great work, Isabella. We will keep you in mind in the future.”
“Oh my goodness, Kathryn is the simply the best!!! I love my summers on Nantucket but it can be necessary to leave the island briefly at times. And it’s not always easy or desirable to uproot my dogs. My 2 little Maltese dogs (ages 4 and 11) just loved her. One is skittish and one is a ‘senior’ who needs medication; both of them took to her right away and she was so comfortable and capable with their little quirks and needs. She did double duty as house-sitter and doggie care-giver, and I couldn’t be more pleased on both fronts! I came home to happy puppies and an immaculate home. It doesn’t get any better. ??❤️”
About: I have helped out neighbors in the past with pet care (walks, playing, feeding, pet sitting), and I have also helped take care of my grandparents black lab the past 3 summers I've been in Nantucket! I’m on island babysitting for the summer, so I have a flexible work schedule and am looking for more work! I have a car and love going on long walks/playing with pets. I’m very responsible and will make sure your dog is in a safe environment at all times! I’m very cautious on walks and will be sure to be mindful when walking on busy roads :)
About: My dog, Fiona, was the best a girl could ask for. She was an Australian Shepard that lived till she was 13. We loved to go on walks in the sand, snow, and rain. Everything was fun! I work from home and live alongside the west side highway in the West Villiage. I’m able to take frequent breaks for walk and exercise. I don’t have any pets at home so need some joy back in my life. I don’t live in a 5th floor walk up, so the dog must be able to climb stairs.
About: Cared for my 14 year old pup from beginning to end, but still surrounded by lots of family dogs! With dog & cat sitting experience for family, friends, neighbors, and Rover pups, I’ll be sure to keep your pets happy & safe. Currently on a travel PT assignment on Nantucket and am available to watch or walk your pet! I work 4 days a week, but more than willing to sit at night or on my days off! I am extremely respectful of clients homes and how they prefer I care for their pets. Whether it’s walking or sitting, I will do everything I can to keep their normal routine and continue anything they’re used to doing while with the owners.
“Bradley was great with my kitten! He provided helpful updates during visits and was very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend for anyone’s pet-sitting needs.”
About: I always had pets growing up, I love spending time with them. I have a 2 year old, full of energy german shepherd named Leo. He is my world.

About: I’ve taken care of pups since I was 10 years old. I’ve handled between 8 weeks old to 15year old dogs! Missing my fur babies off island! I currently work full time at NCH. Looking to fill my days/nights with pups to walk/hang out with. I love taking long walks on the beach! I do not care for pups in my home, however I love to continue any routines you and your pup have in your home! Will happily feed, walk, play, train pup as needed.
“Ali was wonderful with our dog River! She was attentive and on time for each check in. We’ll definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs stay with me all throughout my travels and love taking care of my little sisters pitbull! To me animals are one of us. I am currently in the middle of searching for a full time job, so have full availability to take care of any pets in need. I am extremely mindful of the space in which an animal needs to be taken care of. I have enough space for a dog to stay with me in the house I am currently at.
About: We have always had at least one furry family member. We love our French bulldog Ivy. We take great care of our dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! I work two days a week at the hospital, on those days my husband takes care of our dog. The rest of the week I take my dog almost everywhere with me. My dog is very loyal and submissive, she loves almost every other dog. Our friends always leave their pets with us when we travel. We live next to a park so we take a few short walks around the park daily and long walks to the beach or downtown.

“I cannot recommend Ciara enough for anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter! Ciara's communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She provided regular updates and even sent adorable pictures of my dog, which reassured me that my pet was happy and well-cared for. Not only did Ciara meet the basic needs of my dog, but she also went above and beyond to ensure my pet felt loved and comfortable in her home. It's evident that she treats every animal as if they were her own.”
