“Stephanie is so great! My cat loves her and is so happy while she is here. It is such a comfort to travel and know that your furry friend is content and well cared for. Stephanie is the best!”
“Taigh was a lifesaver - he responded immediately to my last-minute request for help to watch our little dog and stay at our house for the long weekend. He took great care of both the dog and our house, kept us posted as to our dog's goings on, and even had his mom check in on the dog when he was going to be at work for a long stint. We really appreciated the photos and texts with updates, as well as with his stripping the bed and washing the sheets. We would definitely recommend Taigh and plan to use him again for future pet/house sitting needs.”
“Madison was fabulous! I was so worried about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, but Madison recognized this, reassured me during our meet and greet and then kept me up to date during her stay. I will definitely be requesting her to sit for me again!”
“Kathryn was wonderful to work with. She has extensive experience with dog sitting and I was very comfortable leaving my best girl in her care. She communicated with me throughout the stay, so I knew all was going well. I will certainly plan to book with Kathryn again when I need a sitter!”
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: Happy take your dog for a jog, play laser pointer with your cat, or take a nice slow walk around the block and sit in the sun, whichever your pet prefers. I work from home so I can spend lots of time with your pet while house sitting. My schedule is flexible and can fit around you and your pets needs. Early mornings, evenings, or overnight stays are all options I'm open to. I would take care of your pets and homes like they were my own. I would want to understand your house & pet rules (are they allowed on the furniture? Am I allowed on the furniture?) before taking care of them.
“Bradley was a wonderful doggie daddy to Molly this weekend when we were off island. She fell in love instantly as seen in the photos and videos he sent which were welcomed because she had been ill last week and on a special med diet. I would retain Bradley again because of his careful attentional to detail and obvious connection to our 13 year old puppy.”
About: I've spent my whole life around animals, especially dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I've looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether it's going for long walks, sticking to a routine, or just offering company and cuddles, I treat every dog like they're part of my family. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. As a teacher I have a flexible holiday and weekend schedule. I am available after 4pm on weekdays for walks and anytime on weekends and holidays for overnight pet care. I have a large yard and 1 friendly dog to keep your pet company when boarding in my home. I love to utilize the beautiful trails on Nantucket to take long walks in the afternoon and snuggle up on the couch in the evening with your fur baby.
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.

“Meg sat our 2 lab retrievers and 2 cats for 10 days at our house. She was great, we could not have hoped for a more responsible, reliable and caring sitter which was so reassuring. We were informed with many images and videos and she got back to us with questions. Our pets looked very happy and content as she cuddled with them and took the dogs to various destinations for walks, even driving them there. She had play time with them in the yard as well and fed them all according to instructions. The dogs were groomed and clean upon our return and we were delighted to find the house in immaculate condition. We appreciate Meg and her cheerful, happy personality very much and highly recommend her as a trustworthy companion to the pets.”
