“Michele exceeded our expectations above and beyond. When you are in a new place it’s hard to take a leap of faith and leave our pups who are like our children with a stranger. Hands down the best dog sitter we have met. She’s kind, smart organized and goes above and beyond with the pups. She even took them swimming! Don’t hesitate if you are looking for someone to care for your dogs she should be your first choice! She’s also lovely!”
“Julie was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup, and Julie sent multiple daily updates, and was so welcoming, caring and kind. I HIGHLY recommend Julie and we will be booking with her (and her wonderful dog Ellie) again.”
“I would give them 10 stars if that were possible! We were so pleased with Andrea and Bob and the wonderful care they gave our 11 yr old Rhody boy while we were away. We felt confident that he was in good hands every day and appreciated that they sent us lots of photos, too. I recommend them highly and will definitely look them up when we plan our next trip! Really nice folks. Very accommodating. We appreciated their extra efforts. Especially since this was a family emergency type trip with short notice.”
“Madaket watched our dog Cooper for a week, and was wonderful! She sent us photos each day showing the days activities which included going for walks, playing with her dog Bermuda, and just relaxing. When Cooper came home to us, he was relaxed and happy (unlike when he had been boarded elsewhere). Not only can we highly recommend Madaket to watch your pet, but we have already booked Cooper to be with her again for a couple more stays.”
“Catlin is incredible, she put Morgan at ease and pampered him. I know that he enjoyed his stay with her from the pictures she sent. I would give her 10 stars if I could, for the services that she did. I'm recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you Catlin”
“Caitlin was amazing! She live in Boston and she watched our dog while we were in Nantucket. She made sure to accommodate our dog’s unique needs (she has separation anxiety and doesn’t play well with other dogs) and was very flexible when we had a last minute change of pick up time. Throughout she sent lots of great pictures and made sure to take our dog for lots of great walks. We would absolutely book again and are so grateful for her help!”
“Melissa and Kellie were wonderful! Maggie got so comfy so fast she even made sure to give some lovings to them before jumping in our car to leave. We felt some comfortable going on vacation with Maggie in their care and would love to book with them in the future even though we don’t live in the area.”
“My dog had a great time staying overnight! Karissa sent me a lot of pictures and everything went smoothly especially with it being a last minute booking.”
“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!”
“I’m guilty of being a helicopter Mom. My dog is very attached to me and spoiled! Needless to say I was overly worried leaving Finn for 5 nights. Steve was amazing putting me to ease. He sent pictures and videos that clearly showed Finn both happy and comfortable. Finn will be a repeat customer:)”
“Mabel loved her stay with Sally! She had a great time going on walks and playing with Sally’s sweet dog, Ginger. I highly recommend Sally as a Rover sitter — she took care of Mabel while I was on vacation in the Cape and kept me updated with regular photos. I felt so at ease knowing Mabel was in such great hands!”
“Chelsea was easy to communicate with before and during Tiggys stay. She met me outside and the drop was very easy. She kept me updated during her stay. I felt great about leaving Tiggy with her and will use her again.”
“Marcia did an excellent job taking care of Tuka! I could tell he was very comfortable with her and her family both when I left him and picked him up. Loved all the pictures she sent! We will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Cindi sent great pics and regular updates. Clover got a lot of exercise, and adjusted well, and quickly to her first visit with Cindi. Was a great experience for all of us. We felt confident leaving her with Cindi.”
“Alyne is my go-to for my 3yo lab who loves to roam around her fenced-in yard and get cozy at night with other dogs. Alyne is totally a dog whisperer; my high-energy, still-very-puppy girl comes home very relaxed after a stay.”
About: I’m a 32 year old teacher who is looking to take some new pet friends on walks this summer.

Bonsai and I love our walks, and I can bring Bonsai along to keep your pet company if you would like!

About: Hi, I'm Nicole-an experienced and compassionate animal lover with over 15 years of hands-on pet care. Whether your furry friend needs a long walk, a cozy stay, or just a check-in while you're away, I've got you covered. I specialize in providing calm, confident care tailored to your pet's unique needs. My goal? Happy pets, peace of mind, and a whole lot of tail wags. From playful puppies to senior snugglebugs, I've cared for pets through every life stage. I have extensive experience with large breeds, reactive and anxious dogs, cats, and pets requiring medications or end-of-life care. My background also includes wildlife rescue and anti-poaching work, which has sharpened my ability to read animal body language and respond with calm leadership. What sets me apart? Patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to build trust and create a peaceful, structured environment for each pet I care for. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm available for drop-ins, overnights, or spontaneous beach walks during the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone, and I'm happy to accommodate your pet's routines and needs. Whether it's a midday walk or full-time companionship, I'm here to help. **I offer pet boarding in my home for 1–2 pets at a time, exclusively for existing clients who have previously booked walks, housesitting, daycare, or drop-in visits. This ensures I can provide the best possible care for your furry family member! When your pet stays at my home, they'll be treated like family. I have with a friendly, well-behaved dog and have a large yard for play and relaxation. Dogs are walked multiple times a day-often along the beach-and have access to fresh water, clean toys, and comfy rest areas. If I'm staying at your home, you can trust that I'll treat it with respect and keep your pet's environment calm and familiar. Safety and communication are priorities-I'll keep you updated with photos and notes so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing
“Bernie was very well cared for and enjoyed the constant play and company from other dogs. He came home exhausted just like a kids from school. Julia and Bryan kept us informed with pictures and videos for the whole visit.”
“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.”

Nicole d.
“Nicole has taken extensive and good care of my dog Xena. Xena is a 75 lb Great Pyrenees-Retriever mix-a big girl. She suffers from a significant case of anxiety associated with weather and coyotes. Nicole is able to manage her well, administering medications, walking her extensively, and getting her into her crate when necessary (Xena is strong and can be stubborn). I'd highly recommend Nicole.”
