“Total rock star sitter - could not recommend Kari any more highly! This was only Sadie‘s second time boarding in someone else’s home without me…I learned from my first experience that Sadie does not do great with other pets in the house… and, even though Kari’s was pet free, I was still trepidatious about trying another boarding situation in a strange (to my pup) home. My fears were immediately alleviated upon meeting and seeing Kari interact with Sadie and how she let Sadie explore around her wonderful home. Physical relief was all I felt when I left Sadie with her. Kari kept me informed each day with reports and pictures of what she and Sadie were doing, and I was never worried that Sadie was anxious or anything but completely comfortable. Seriously will make sure that Kari is available anytime I plan anything where I need to leave Sadie with someone for any reason! I think my girl had a great time and definitely was very well cared for. Cannot thank Kari and her family enough! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Marcia was wonderful; they made my pup feel like a member of the family! I got lots of updates so I didn't have to worry while I was away for work. Cane was having so much fun that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home!”
“Ruby was wonderful with our dog, Moose. We were able to leave town and not worry about him. She also sent us some great photos and videos of Moose playing with other dogs in her care. I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I was very satisfied with Ryan's care of our dog. He communicated constantly before, during, and after the boarding to alleviate any confusion. He was also considerate in making her feel comfortable in her new environment. I appreciated that Ryan offered to give a a wash and nail trimming at a very affordable rate. This I thought set Ryan apart from other people that we have had watch our dog. We will certainly rebook with Ryan next time we are in the area.”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“Kathleen provided excellent care of Clara. She was so kind and provided lots of updates and pictures which we loved. She went above and beyond to make sure Clara felt comfortable, happy and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for everything you did an amazing job. We would recommend and will call her again !!”
“Having moved recently to New Bedford, we didn´t have any close friends or relatives to leave our Lhasa Apso Johann with. We are so glad we came accross Taylor and Tyler on the Rover platform. They responded to my first contact almost immediately and were very attentive in getting back to me so we could arrange our meet and greet. They took care of Johann for 5 nights and would send me pictures daily and keep me posted. Johann adapted very well and we could see he was being well taken care of and having a fun time! We are so happy and thankful we now have a place to leave him when we next have to travel without him!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful with both of our dogs! She treated them like family, sent pics and videos and provided great care. Not having to worry about our fur babies made our trip even better. Her home is super dog friendly including a safe and spacious fenced in yard. I recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her dog hospitality and for my dogs again in the future. Superb!”
“Millie had a terrific weekend. A shy dog, Maria took the time to integrate her into her family activities. She came back happy, bathed and exhausted from her weekend. Maria was also very accommodating with our schedule- we dropped off early and picked up earlier than planned. She was gracious and helpful. Maria also sent great pictures of Millie from her weekend - which were passed around the table at the graduation dinner.”
“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!”
“Gracie loves spending time at Marc’s. She gets lots of exercise, playtime with other dogs and I enjoy receiving the photos of her when I’m away. I will never board her at a kennel again. It is better for BOTH of us knowing that she’s under 24-hr care.”
“Mike was wonderful to work with. Took excellent care of my little princess, sent photos and updates through the week. She was having so much fun, she didn't even care that I came home. Safe, fenced yard, friendly other dogs, comfy beds and lots of love. Would highly recommend!”
“Rebekah was great with my dog Benny. She would send updates, pictures and videos daily and was very responsive when communicating. Benny loved the walks and the attention he received while he stayed over for 6 nights while I was away on business. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again for my vacation coming up in a few months.”
“I can tell by how eager Splash is when she gets out of the car that she loves vacationing with Sergio. My girl is an abandoned rescue with lots of anxiety but loves hanging out with Sergio. Thank you so much!”
“Jen and Jon were wonderful sitters for our dog. This was the first time leaving her with a sitter and they made me feel very comfortable. I could tell Tootsie was well taken care of and receiving lots of love with each daily update. Drop off and pick up was easy and Jen responded quickly to any questions I had.”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, and I’ve also provided intensive care for my own dog following a leg injury, including medication, monitoring, and following veterinary care instructions. I currently have two very loving, social dogs who enjoy meeting both people and other animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive, and loving care while they’re with me. I work a flexible client-based schedule that allows me to check in on pets throughout the day. I’m able to make visits between clients and provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding and can accommodate different routines based on each pet’s individual needs. My home is set up with pet safety and comfort in mind. I keep medications, food, and anything potentially harmful safely out of reach. I use separate food dishes and feeding areas for guest pets and my own dogs to help prevent food related conflicts. I also have dog gates throughout the home so pets can be safely separated when needed, along with a spacious area where they can play and relax. My two dogs are very friendly and enjoy the company of both people and other animals.
“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”

“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 couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Ruby during my stay on the Vineyard! She made me feel completely at ease from the start and kept me updated with great communication throughout. She was also incredibly accommodating with my last-minute request, which I really appreciated. My dog was well cared for, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Ruby to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Rachel was very responsive, sent feedback and pictures and was flexible about pickup and drop off times. She lives in a quiet neighborhood great for walks and got my dog out for 2 of them! My shy dog seemed to settle in and get comfortable with her and Andrew. Overall I was very happy with her care and I plan to use her again”
“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!”
“Daniella sent photos during the stay and messages to update me on how my nervous dog was relaxing. I was probably more nervous than the dog so I appreciated it! Already have plans to leave my pups with her again.”
“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.”
“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!”

“Maria is amazing with animals and humans! She provided exceptional care to our Frenchie, Evie. She listened carefully to our request and was able to meet our needs with ease. Maria has fantastic attention to details and her updates during the day provided worried dog parents great comfort. Her home and property provides a doggie sanctuary. Maria went above and beyond when we asked for our little one to get a bath. Our Evie, never had it so good ( a blueberry facial)!!! She came home cleaned, trimmed and soft as could be. I would not hesitate to use Maria’s services again and I can’t recommend her highly enough. You and your four-legged friend is in great hands and care with Maria!”
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!
“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.”
“Rebeka is very sweet. Marshall was nervous going to a new place but she sat with him and cuddled with him, which is exactly what works. She was responsive and professional with all communication and we highly recommend her! Marshall had adjusted and was happy by the time we came to pick him up.”
“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.”
“Marc was amazing providing friendly home care to our Dog. Our Dog had wonderful time while staying at Marc by playing in his backyard with his Dog and fun time on lake. Thank you for taking care of our furbaby. We truly recommend his service & appreciate it.”
“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!”

About: ***AVAILABLE ON MARTHAS VINEYARD ONLY*** 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 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: 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!
