About: I have been a dog sitter for friends and family for the past 10 years. I’ve been relied on to feed, walk, play, and keep animals company while their families are away. In addition to pet sitting, I have had my own pets ranging from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and chameleons. I am an animal lover through and through. I work full time Monday-Friday but I am able to leave the office to walk or feed your pet during my lunch break. I am fully available on weekends and after 4pm on weekends. I have two cats that have full freedom in my home, including my “cat room” which has cat trees, tunnels, toys, beds, and the litter boxes.

About: Hello! My name is Annie and I have been a dog lover for my entire life, at one point my family owned 5 dogs! I graduated from UMass Amherst in 2017 and during my 4 years there I was a volunteer at a greyhound rescue that took in retired racing greyhounds. During my time there I learned how to care for dogs with many different needs and temperments and I discovered a passion for taking care of dogs. I currently live in an house in Oak Bluffs with my 8 year old goldendoodle Maya and 4 year old labradoodle Luna. I have a fully fenced in yard and work from home so I am able to be with your pups all day and give them lots of attention, potty breaks, and playtime. My husband and I also walk the dogs together frequently and we would be happy to take your pups out on walks as well! I am currently working full time from home so your pup will be able to chill with me all day! My older dog is very relaxed and likes to sleep most of the day but my younger dog LOVES to play and if you have a dog that loves to play I have a big backyard for them to play in! I have a larger fenced in back yard that is great for dogs to relax or play in. When walking outside I will always have your dogs on a leash.

About: I have a senior cat with a serious digestive and heart condition, so I’m certainly used to giving pets their proper medications, feeding at specific times, or just generally giving them the love and attention they need! I grew up with dogs, and have pet sat for friends, family and clients for years. I feel more than comfortable feeding, walking or staying with pups of any breed or size. I’ve been a sitter on Trusted Housesitters for years and have been lucky enough to let sit as far away as Berlin! I’d love the opportunity to take great care of your pets while you’re away! I have a super flexible schedule with work and can generally accommodate most days/times. I live on Martha’s Vineyard and can travel most anywhere on island to sit. My fiancé and I are more than happy to accommodate any and all let needs. With our senior cat experience, and lots of daily and overnight sitting experience, we always treat animals with kindness, patience and respect. We will always ensure animals feel comfortable in our care, and we update owners on their pets as much as possible!

About: I bring high-energy, all-terrain enthusiasm to every pet I care for! Whether I’m biking, swimming, running, walking, rollerblading, or scootering, I stay active so your dog can too. I’ve worked with pups of all ages—from playful puppies to mellow seniors—and tailor each walk or visit to fit their pace and personality. Pets aren’t just cared for, they’re engaged and uplifted. Let’s turn walk time into mission time! I work from home full-time, which means I’m always nearby and flexible. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I schedule walks, playtime, and snuggles around my work. I treat every pet like family—whether they're with me or I'm visiting their home. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly dogs for social play. I follow any special instructions you provide and can crate your pup if needed. Clean spaces, constant supervision, and a whole lot of love ensure your pet’s comfort and security.

“Rachel is an excellent dog walker. She is so kind and compassionate with animals, and was so great with our can-sometimes-be-a-bit-challenging Border Collie! She was wonderful on his daily walks, and took great care of him in our home while we were away. She is smart and responsible and an all-round great person. Highly recommend!”

“Sonja was truly amazing! She is nice, trustworthy, friendly and always goes above and beyond to care for my puppy! My puppy is truly happy when she sees Sonja for her daily walks!”

About: *Martha’s Vineyard Only* I have had pets of all kinds for as far back as I can remember. I currently have a very loving, sweet, energetic and playful dog of my own, Lola. She is 10 years old and enjoys playing with new friends! I am knowledgable and caring and will provide your dog with lots of love and care! I am comfortable caring for dogs of any size and breed as well as administering medication (oral, injections, eye and ear drops and topicals). I currently work part time from home so I am flexible and available throughout the day to tend to and care for pets in my care I have a fenced in yard, but don’t leave dogs unattended in the yard. I have a dog of my own to provide your dog with companionship and a playmate while they stay with us! A crate is not required but I’m happy to set yours up if it makes your dog comfortable. I can provide care for potty trained dogs, though I am comfortable with and have experience with senior dogs who require diapers.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, At present, I have a senior mixed breed dog named Ozzie whom we adopted from the local shelter 13 years ago. He has trust issues, fear aggression, and separation anxiety so he has needed a lot of TLC but he is a great dog, with a huge heart. Once you are in his "pack", he will love you for life! Our 9 year old cat, Mist, was adopted from the HART Organization in ME 9 years ago. She is a dog in her alter ego and is simply a love. They both are happy, loved, and spoiled pets! Additionally, I have cared for many friends cats and dogs over the years. I currently work part time from home. I have a lot of flexibility. I can do pet visits, feedings, and dog walks. I am usually available Monday - Fridays, after 9am. At this time, I am not available to take care of pets in my home or at client's. I am looking for daytime dog walks or pet check-ins.

About: Having accumulated over 15 years of experience in pet care, I've developed a deep understanding and comfort in tending to pets of all ages, from sprightly youngsters to wise seniors, each with their unique set of needs and requirements. This extensive tenure has equipped me with the skills and adaptability to cater to diverse situations, ensuring every pet's well-being and happiness, regardless of their stage in life or specific care necessities. My schedule is highly adaptable; working from home allows me to cater to your pet's needs. I accommodate walks or bathroom breaks based on your preferences. I'd love to walk your pet in the woods or on a bike trail, maybe play ball at the park. I provide in-house care, prioritizing your pet's comfort and respecting your home.

About: I adore dogs and have been a consistent pet and home sitter for several families on Martha’s Vineyard over the last 8 years. I am tidy, responsible, and take care of pets as if they were my own. I love to take daily long walks (3-5 miles) and the companionship of a dog makes this personal routine so much more fun. It’s not possible for me to have a pup of my own in my current housing so getting to spend time with other dogs brings me so much joy. Work freelance as a henna artist and with a catering company on island. I have a varied work schedule with most mornings open, happy to try to make your pet care needs fit into my day. I’m a great communicator and will always make sure I fully understand the needs of your home and pet before I agree to a job. I want us both to have a clear understanding and expectation of the level of care required so that everyone is comfortable. I am very respectful and mindful that every pet and home is unique, the details matter to me.

About: I have been a pet sitter for the last 10 years, working for neighbors as well as for the families I was nannying for. I am committed to the dogs I am caring for and I will treat them as if they are my own. I currently work in a hotel and taking care of animals in my free time would be work that I am very passionate about. I am happy to take the dogs on walks, or host in your home. I currently work part time so I would love to fill my free time caring for animals. I spend most nights on long walks so it would be great to have a companion to keep me company. I am very responsible and trustworthy. I would treat your dog and your home as if it is my own. I am happy to feed, play, walk, go to the beach, or anything that will make the pets happy.

About: I’ve spent the last three years working part-time at a veterinary office as a kennel attendant, caring for a wide variety of boarded animals. I see dogs and cats of every age, size, breed, and personality every week — from the shy seniors to the chaotic zoomie-goblins — and I genuinely love them all. Animals have always been my thing. I stopped eating meat when I was six after realizing the chickens on the farm were the same ones used for chicken nuggets. Since then, helping animals has just been built into who I am. I grew up around farms, I’ve worked hands-on with countless pets, and I’ve been pet sitting for the last three years. I specialize in both older dogs who need gentler care and young, spry pups who need structure, patience, and a lot of energy. I haven’t met a dog yet who didn’t warm up to me by the end of the day — even the anxious ones. Earning trust is my superpower. Your pets aren’t “just animals” to me — they’re family, and that’s exactly how I treat them. House Sitting Note: For house-sitting jobs, I only accept bookings where I can bring my own 15-year-old, 15-lb Poochon. She’s calm, quiet, sweet, and sleeps 90% of the time, but I always like to be upfront! My entire life is based around animals, as I have my own pets and I’m a full-time pet sitter. I truly spend more time with pets than people, and I enjoy it. I take great pride in caring for pets, whether in my own home or yours. I go above and beyond to ensure your animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable, providing them with personalized attention and care. From maintaining their routines to offering plenty of playtime and cuddles, I make sure their environment is stress-free and enjoyable. Whether it's administering medications or ensuring they have all the comforts they need, I treat each pet as if they were my own, always striving to exceed expectations! **I do not board dogs who are aggressive with other dogs or cats**

About: Beyond being a dog owner myself to my beloved rescue Jordi, I've also taken more dog sitting jobs than I can count. I LOVE dogs! I like to go the extra mile by taking dogs on extra long walks and adventures, always administering their medication at the correct time, giving dogs extra love and cuddles, and always keeping the house super neat and tidy. I already walk my own dog twice a day, and he loves walking with a friend! If you need a drop in visit or occasional help with a dog walk, it's already a part of my routine. Of course I do not need to bring my own dog, but if your dog enjoys the companionship of other dogs, it could be a great option! I am not allowed to have any more pets other than my own where I am currently living so I will not be able to board your dog, only house sit. Thanks for understanding.

About: ***AVAILABLE ON MARTHAS VINEYARD ONLY*** - Intermittently on Nantucket but dates of availability only reflect that of MV. Please inquire with a message for Nantucket :) My experience with animals began as a child both with family pets and horseback riding. Being on the farm at such a young age instilled in me a love for animals that has only grown over the years. It also allowed me a front row seat to better understanding animals and their individual behaviors. Throughout the years, I have become proficient in medication administration and personalized feedings scheduled and requirements. I have also been privileged to be around animals of all kinds and ages and I look forward to providing your young and senior pets with the extra love and attention they require and deserve. In my day to day life I am a licensed and trained paramedic which has helped me better harness the patience and understanding often required when helping animals and their families. For those of you that have pets with boundless energy, I go for a minimum 5 mile walk daily that could only be made better by the accompaniment of your four legged family member. I look forward to meeting you and your perfect pets! I currently work part time as a paramedic which allows for a lot of freedom and flexibility in my schedule to help you and your pet. As I will be watching your pet in the comfort of your home- I will always want to know what helps them adjust to change best in your absence. How can I make them, and you, feel more comfortable? What toys do they love? What types of check ins work best for you and what information do you prefer to be kept up to date on? Does your pet have any health history or allergies? What ever you think will make this experience best for you and your pet is information I would love to be made aware of!

About: I have trained, and cared for dogs for my entire adult life. My wife and I have chosen to adopt some of the dogs that had harder times finding homes; senior dogs, dogs requiring medical care, high energy dogs, so we're happy to care for your animal, quirks and all. I can take care of your pets in your home, I am always up for taking them on a trail walk, neighborhood walk, or beach walk when the season/timing allows. And we are able to host pets in our home. We have an indoor kennel space for dogs, a fenced in yard, and they can play with our 3 lab mixes, or not, as you prefer. I work from home, and take care of the kids and pets throughout the day so I am able to pop over to where your pet is, on island, or care for them in home. I am happy to come to your home, where your pet is most comfortable. We also have a fenced in yard, with indoor kennel space
