“Maria was wonderful! Very communicative. A beautiful fenced in yard and two lovely dogs who quickly became my dogs best friends. I think he may have had the best day of his life. ?”



“Harriet was an amazing sitter! She made sure to send me plenty of pictures while I was away and Fiona looked happy and chilled in all of them. It was also a great experience for Fiona because she got to know all the animals in the farm and she got along with them too. I didn’t know if she was good with cats and she is! I’m very happy and grateful with how loving and caring Harriet was with Fiona and I’m definitely booking another stay with her in the future.”

“Margie is the best pet sitter ever. It was love at first sight with her and my most 70lb, strong sporto dog (who is also sensitive and hates being alone…). She kept in such good contact with me, took Hugo on amazing walks, sent me daily updates and photos (with my dog calmly smiling!) :) . If my dog could talk, he’d have asked to stay with her forever! I think we both made a lifelong friend. Thank you!”


“Anna was amazing! She was so flexible with timing and easy to get a hold of. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated! My pup seemed very comfortable and safe with her!! I would definitely recommend Anna!”


About: I grew up caring for and loving dogs deeply. This is what inspired me to become a certified veterinary technician, which has taught me how to be an even more skilled and proficient caregiver for pets. My partner and I also have an extreme love of spending time outdoors (on the beach, hiking, etc.), so if your pet likes these activities, we would be a great fit! I currently work full time job, and my days off are Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. On workdays, I am usually gone anywhere from 8 until 3-7, but I am happy to house dogs in my home while I am gone if they are able to be left unattended for that amount of time. My husband works from home, so he is there to keep them company, take potty breaks, go for short walks, etc. I spend a lot of time after work outside and walking, so pets will still get their exercise. On my days off, I can dedicate a lot of time to pet care. That being said, I am generally available for pet sitting any day/night of the week, and dog walking after work or on my weekends. My yard is 95% fenced in, so playtime in the backyard is quite safe. I do not leave animals unattended outside. I will keep your dog on a leash in the yard if there is a risk of him/her running off. I live 0.2 miles from the beach on Nantucket sound, and have the ability to take your dog on leashed walks there if they enjoy activities like that! I am willing to let your pet roam free in the house if they are well-behaved and it is safe to do so, but can easily set up a crate if preferred or necessary.

“Jenny took care of Ace within last minute need. She was amazing. Ace liked her from the moment he met her. She kept me in the loop about how Ace is doing and send pictures Proffesional and kind. Thanks Jenny See you in the summer.”


“Kellie and family are amazing! Albus had the best time. Fenced in yard. Extra special walks. Nice photo updates. We could not have been happier. Highly recommend!!!”


About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My family has always had multiple dogs in our home and a house isn’t a home without a dog. For years I have cared for friends and family dogs while they were either at work or vacation. Now that I am retired I have a lot more time to give helping others who need support to care for their dog. I am available all hours of the day and night. I can pick up dogs or they can be brought to my home. I am semi retired and this allows me lots of flexibility in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard that backs up to conservation land that I use to exercise my own dogs. If allowed by owner, walks on the beach at low tide is a favorite activity for our dogs. During the summers I walk the many trails this area has to offer, many with ponds the dogs love to swim in.

“Jorie was amazing taking care of my pug Cruze! She was very communicative and sent me photos of Cruze enjoying her place. It was clear upon pick up that Cruze had a great time and I would definitely book Jorie again!”


“We greatly appreciate Marcs care of our dog. Marc takes the worry away of how our dog is cared for while we're away with updates and photos.”


“I am so happy to have found Alexa to care for my senior dog while I went away. She was able to book on short notice, had great communication, and was very accommodating to my schedule. Most importantly, she provided excellent care and is very trustworthy. I look forward to booking with Alexa again!”


“Jackie was awesome. It was a last minute booking and she was very easy to work with. I was nervous, as Sadie is only 5 months old, and it was the first time we had left her with anyone. Jackie was very knowledgeable about dogs and caring for them. Jackie sent me pictures and let me know how she was doing during her stay. I highly recommend booking with her.”

“Desiree and Josiah took such good care of our senior dog, Akeen. They were so patient and kind to him at the first meet and greet. I felt very comfortable leaving him with them this past weekend. They made sure he got his meds and let him go at his own pace. I have no doubt that they gave him lots of affection. We received updates and photos and came home to a happy dog! Thank you so much for your wonderful care. Jill & Ed”


“Karen took great care of our dog Dempsey. Great communication and lots of pictures. I will definitely book a stay there again. Strongly recommend her if you are going to the Cape beaches during the summer when dogs aren’t allowed.”


“This is my second time having Taylor watch my dog, Pepper and I couldn’t ask for more! She is one of very few people that I really don’t worry about Pepper at all while I’m away.”

Jessen S.
“Jessen is exactly the person any loving pet owner hopes to find on Rover. There is no one I trust more to look after for my Goldens when I am away. Jessen has been caring for my pups for more than two years. When I walk out my door, I have complete peace of mind knowing that my dogs are under the watchful eye of someone who loves animals and knows how to care for them. My dogs are always happy to see Jessen and sad when they leave. You can't ask for a better testimonial than that. You will not find a more loving, conscientious, and knowledgeable caregiver for your pet.”
