About: Huge animal lover with many years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and well cared for while you’re away! Graduate of Umass Amherst 24, from Brighton Ma and looking to pick up some extra hours on the side, dog walking or pet sitting! Available daily before 12pm and all day Sundays! Willing to take dogs on long walks, play with them, feed them and give treats whenever needed! Always open to take care of other pets as well!
“Madeline was fantastic! She checked in every day she was scheduled and made sure our pet was happy and checked water, food, and litter box. I think she even watered my plants for me. Would be thrilled to use her again in the future.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have been relied on to take care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I love taking them on adventures and I have some grooming experience. I specialize in caring for dogs with high energy. I am currently working a 9-5 from Monday to Friday but am available and have complete flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays for in house boarding. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I rely on the leash for security to bring the dogs out for many walks. I don’t have any pets so all of my attention will be focused on your pet.
“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: 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!
“We took the 8 hour Wildlife tour with Elijah and it was great!! We ended up being the only ones that signed up, so we got a private tour and saw lots and lots of animals in Lamar Valley and beyond. Elijah was well prepared, provided a nice lunch and was fun to spend the day with. I would highly recommend this tour!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including puppies and seniors. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, and giving every pet personal attention and affection. Safety and comfort always come first! I work online, so my schedule is super flexible and gives me lots of time to spend with your pets. I’m home most of the day and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether they need extra playtime, cuddles, or a walk, I’m always happy to be there for them. I care for pets in their own homes because I know how much more relaxed and happy they feel in a familiar space. I’m very gentle and patient, and I always follow your instructions to make sure your fur baby feels safe and loved. I’ll keep you updated and treat your pet like my own while you’re away.
“I highly recommend Kathryn as a dog sitter. She is very reliable and always arrive on time. My dog, Loulou has been well taken care of. Kathryn was very attentive to her needs and made sure she was fed or had enough water.”
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.
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!
“Elizah was perfect. She put us at ease the moment she arrived. She grave our two goldens the same care and love she would give to her own companion. She was flexible and communicated well with us during her visit with our goldens. Her stay put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy a stree fre evening know our two goldens were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“So grateful to have Savannah drop in today to take care of Sydney so that we could enjoy Yellowstone. My dog is very timid, but quickly warmed up to her. Would definitely re-book. No issues, which is always great when your on vacation.”
“Mackenzie was great! She texted me when she was on her way to our place for the drop in visit. She sent multiple pictures of our puppy while he was playing and eating. She put away all his toys when they were done playing. She was wonderful with our pup!”
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 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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Nantucket on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 290 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Nantucket. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Nantucket stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nantucket. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 pet, 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.
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.
