“Kari was wonderful with Hazel. I could tell Hazel adjusted well and enjoyed her time with Kari and her family by the photos and updates Kari provided along the way. I would leave Hazel with Kari again knowing that she would be well cared for.”

“Samantha took excellent care of Kiki. She provided a loving environment with lots of petting and walks. I would recommend her and will certainly book with her again in the future.”

“Ryan and Leah were amazing sitters for our pup Hammy. It wws our first time using Rover, so we weren’t sure what to expect but the experience with Ryan (and Leah) was so great, they took Hammy on walks through the woods, cuddled with him at home, and generally just took amazing care, with photos and updates throughout. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!!!!!!”

“Ruby was a terrific dog sitter! She was very flexible and understanding about scheduling changes and most importantly took wonderful care of our Golden Retriever. Thank you for making Penny feel so comfortable and for all of the great updates throughout, Ruby!!”

“Melissa was wonderful with my dog Ella. She kept me updated with pictures and notes every day. Ella looked very happy in all the pictures around the house and during walks. I was happy that her dog and two cats got along very well with Ella. Would definitely book with her again.”

“I am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”

“Can’t say enough good things about Karen! We just moved here and were so nervous to find a good sitter.. Right off the bat Karen was so gentle and kind with Goldie, sent tons of picture updates, was quick to respond, and I never once felt worried or anxious! Also her dog Juni is the sweetest dog on the planet :) even with their size difference Goldie and Juni became sweet friends!”

“Kayla was absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend her enough! From the very start she went above and beyond — she was open to meeting us in person before the stay so Willow could get comfortable ahead of time, which made such a difference. Throughout the week she was communicative, sent photos, and was flexible in every way. But honestly, what stood out most was how much she genuinely loved Willow. You could just tell. She told us multiple times how sweet Willow was and that she’d miss her — and we believed every word of it. For us, leaving our girl with someone is a big deal, and Kayla made it so easy to feel at peace. We will absolutely use her again the next time we’re on the island. If you’re looking for a sitter who will treat your dog like family, look no further!”

“Jacquelyn and Bill were great! I could tell they were knowledgeable right when I met them. And they could see that Barry was timid and would need extra attention and they made sure to provide that care. They have a great back yard and I know Barry played a lot because he slept right when he got home. They updated me and sent pictures throughout the whole stay and genuinely cared for our puppy. Would definitely recommend!”

“Our two Cavaliers had a great time staying with Maria! They arrived home happy, healthy and well socialized, have gone for plenty of walks and having lots of outdoor time. Will definitely ask her to watch our pups again!”

“Taylor was great! She provided updates each day Clover was there and Clover warmed up to her quickly! Taylor is so kind and reliable. I'm looking forward to bringing Clover back and, hopefully, my pup, Flora!”


“Daran is the best of the best. Mac has such an amazing time with him and I never have to worry about a thing. Daran is also very thoughtful about Mac and gives solid advice and suggestions for helping with our pup. Thank you Daran!”

“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“Debra is amazing! My golden doodle had the best time staying with her, her five dogs, and some other dogs she was watching. She has a huge backyard that is perfect for the dogs to run around and have a blast together. Thanks so much Debra!”

“We are incredibly happy and grateful for the wonderful care she provided for our little old dog, especially on such short notice. She sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and the communication was flawless from start to finish. It was clear that our dog was very comfortable and well cared for with her. We would absolutely book her again in the future and can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you again for everything!”

“Lucy loves to stay with Austin and his fam! She is always nervous when we travel, but when we pull up to Austin’s, she is happy and ready to hang out with her puppy pals!”

“Monty had such a great day with Ruby! We would 100% have him go to Ruby's again next time we are on the Vineyard. She was so accommodating, sent us updates, made sure he was comfortable, and even offered to pick him up/drop him off. Hue thanks!”

“Kayla was absolutely wonderful and I will use her services again! She was sweet and caring with my dog, and the dog was very happy with her. I had a family reunion and every day was a different schedule. Kayla was so flexible and accommodating to my needs. She had excellent communication and response to my texts. A great experience!”

“I felt that Daniella was kind and responsive to my questions before she took my puppy, Ellie. She sent me multiple photos throughout the day and gave me updates to go along with them.”

“we were looking for a home close by to our house where Quinnie could have some time to interact with other dogs in a safe and living environment. Jackie‘s home was perfect for what we were looking for. A large securely fenced yard plus a dog door. Quinnie seemed very comfortable with Jackie, her husband and their three adorable dogs. She spent six hours there and came home tuckered out, but she seemed very happy with the day. Jackie was very attentive and kept us informed. We would very highly recommend her!”

“Melissa took great care of our Mandy who is a senior dog and needs a little extra help. She was great in letting us know how Mandy was doing and we greatly appreciate Melissa’s communication.”

“Maria and Mike were friendly and welcoming to both our dogs and us. The house is in a picturesque location on the cape and incredibly dog friendly. I felt such relief knowing our girls were in such a wonderful place with really good people. 5 Stars ?????”

“Kathleen was a delight for me and my dog. It was a last-minute booking. So having never met my dog before drop-off, she took time for my dog to get comfortable with her before I left. And then she sent almost a dozen pictures and videos while I was away for about seven hours. She also sent several updates (and compliments) about my dog, so I didn’t even have to wonder if everything was going well. She obviously loves dogs.”

“Austin was Amazing! He took Coco at the last minute and helped me through my first use of Rover. I appreciate him so much! He treated Coco so well and sent pictures during the day. Austin was very patient with puppy behaviors and was polite and respectful during our time with him. I felt safe leaving our puppy with Austin and would recommend him highly.”

“I want to give a shout out for Marc.. He is a true dog lover as he has great dogs of his own. I have left my pup with him several times- both for daycare and overnight. He is very caring and attentive- and always takes special care tp pay attention to her specific needs. She loves going there and she has bonded with both Marc and his dogs. I never worry as I know she is safe and always well cared for. Highly Recommend …”

“Emily was amazing- Hazel had the best time and they were clearly fast friends! She was responsive and asked all the right questions. She clearly loves dogs! She took hazel for multiple walks and texted me updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!!! She is the best!”

“Justine is fantastic! Justine took care of my dog while I was at a conference, and she was extremely responsive and was constantly sending pictures of Teddy having fun. I can't say enough good things and highly recommend Justine.”

“We needed a Last minute option to put our dog for a few hours so we could do a last beach day on vacation . Megan reached back out to us right away ! She was super nice and her yard was beautiful and spacious for ranger to play while we were gone for a few hours .. we will definitely contact her for the future when in the area with our dog . Thank you Megan !!! Rover was great and led us to Megan !”

“Kathy was amazing with our dog Jax. My baby girl was having surgery in Boston and she put my mind at ease taking great care of our pup. Sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day which made us super happy! Can’t wait to bring Jax back for another visit!”

About: Our mission is to offer people a simple, affordable option for boarding their pets: to keep them fed, safe and company while you're away. There's nothing worse than doubling the price of your vacation just to get your pets looked after! We keep our boarding price more than reasonable to give folks the financial bandwidth to spend their vacation money on their vacation--not on boarding their pets. We are both contract workers with flexible schedules, and Taylor is often able to work from home so your pets will have plenty of companionship! So we told you our mission-- There's a few ways this translates. We have a huge yard. So, we don't take your pups on walks. BUT. We play fetch, tug of war, and intentionally initiate zoomies. If your pup is conditioned to expect walks, it's probably most fair to find a sitter who'll get that walk in! We love a good daytime cuddle, but we also like a good night's rest. So, your pets sleep in the living room, helping us avoid chaos while we're getting shut-eye. We kindly ask that if you book with us, that you're confident your doggies can sleep out on their own without too much fuss! We have an array of options for creating ideal environments for your pets, with baby gates, a large yard that can be segmented for dogs needing smaller spaces or space from others, and multiple kennels. Coming soon, an electric fence with an extra collar for your pup if you'd like it!

About: Hi! I have years of dog and cat sitting experience. I used to pet sit for my teachers in high school and continued throughout college. I am now 25 years old and live full time on Martha’s Vineyard. I grew up with dogs (bullmastiff and lab). I currently live with two dogs (a senior 3-legged dog and a pup)! Please reach out! I currently work for a non-profit on island working in water quality monitoring. During the summer my schedule is less consistent sometimes ending at 2:30pm and starting at 6:30am. However in the winter I work from 8am to 4pm. I can always be flexible with my schedule and shift work times if needed. Available on weekends. I will make sure to follow your instructions and treat your pet as my own. I will also always respect your home and space. Plenty of pictures and updates will be sent to you while you are away from your pet!
About: I love dogs and grew up with them! I have 2+ years doing long term dog sitting for the same family. I watched them for around 20 days each month. I loved their dogs like my own! Your dogs will be safe and happy with me. They are my top priority. I make sure they get exercise and lots of love. I always send picture and updates. Most recently I lived with my sister who also has a young pitbull so I am with dogs every day. I have experience administering medication and monitoring health issues. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have even watched dogs abroad. I have experience with multiple breeds and so many amazing dogs. I genuinely just love watching dogs. I’m interested in dog walking and sitting. Can also do cats :) I work seasonal jobs so move around. For the last 3 years I was in steamboat springs, Colorado and watched 2 labs on a regular basis. I worked a 9-5 a would go home and feed, walk, and play with the dogs! I take them to the dog park and on hikes. Dogs fit into my routine very easily. Your dogs will get walks, play, get cuddles, etc. I am also used to working around specific quarks. For example, dogs who eat rocks may require a face mask for walks, dogs with sensitive stomachs, etc. I set alarms for their meals and keep a consistent walk/play routine. I feel responsible for their safety too, so if they play with dogs who are too rough, I will move along. Their happiness and comfort is literally my job!
