“Omar is an amazing house sitter who is outstanding with communication and high focus on our pets well being! He took care of two high maintenance pets for ten days and they missed him as he left. Will definitely hire him for our next trip out of town!”
“Jesse was fantastic from the first interaction. We had a meet and greet and we instantly knew he would be a great match. He was on time to our home, took great care of our home and our dog and even was flexible when our flight was delayed several hours. Will definitely book him again for home care!”
“Vanessa was absoulty wonderful with Lucy! I will have her again as Lucy adores her; she is a neat person as well as she stayed over with Lucy while I was away on business. I probably will have to book well in advance now to be able to get Vanessa the next trip!”

“Katie was fabulous, she took great care of Jasper & Joe. She sent 3 messages a day, along with a few pics. Messages & pics were incredibly helpful in my not worrying about Jasper & Joe. Overall, a great experience. I would highly recommend Katie for your pet needs.”
“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”
“Teri stayed at our house for four nights to watch our dog, cat and home! She did a wonderful job and we felt our home was in excellent and experienced hands. We would absolutely have her back again!”
About: I first discovered my passion for animal care in fifth grade when I brought home and later adopted my class pet, Spot, an anole lizard who remained with our family for two years. Since then, I have continued developing hands-on experience caring for animals, including working with reactive dogs. During the pandemic, my family adopted our dog Henry, and through that experience I gained valuable insight into supporting dogs with anxiety and learning effective, patient approaches to behavioral management. I currently have full availability for the summer and am flexible in accommodating a wide range of pet care needs, including daytime, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize clear and consistent communication with pet owners to ensure I fully understand each pet’s individual needs and routine. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the highest quality care possible.
“Caitlin is a fantastic dog sitter. Shadow was completely at ease when we handed her over to Caitlin, and also when we arrived back home after our week long trip. Caitlin was able to establishing a bond with our dog, and Shadow felt comfortable and safe right from our first meet and greet. Caitlin was sure to ask all the right questions about Shadow’s routines and house sitting details. We felt confident that both our house and especially our dog were in good hands while we were away. We received lots of updates from Caitlin, and the house was in perfect condition upon our return. Shadow seemed even more healthy and happy when we got back. All in, having Caitlin in our home, looking after Shadow, was a terrific experience.”
About: I have always owned pets and cared for pets of family and friends. I adopted my dog in 2017 and worked hard with a trainer and have learned a lot about walking dogs and caring for dogs and am very cautious and confident walking dogs. I also have 3 senior dogs currently and am used to caring for seniors. I currently work part time and have two children. My job schedule is flexible and I often have gaps in my day and time to walk dogs. I can also do occasional overnights. I will respect and follow your safety reccomendations and needs for your dog. I am very diligent and organized and will be able to follow instructions and keep your dogs safe and happy!
About: Iv'e been a pet owner all my life from raising puppies, caring for seniors, cats, bunnies and even having 4 tanks of fish at once. Times have changed and pets have become such a big part of our families and their health and happiness is our responsibility. I am involved currently with a rescue in Mississippi and help with adoptions and transports. Iv'e met many animals and their individual personalities. I am currently working from home and my schedule is very flexible to meet the demands of my clients.My services include walks, drops in or pet sitting including overnights. Each pet has different personalities, medical, and dietary needs . With great communication I make sure all needs are met to insure a safe and happy experience for your fur baby or furless will be in good hands while your away.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I can remember. My first dog was a German Shepherd when I was 4, 12, and 16. My friends and family have exposed me to a wide variety of dogs. I am always the first in the room to attract a dog and the last to leave its side. Small or big, I know how to leave your dog with a new human friend, happy and tired. I'm more than comfortable checking in and house-sitting with all types of dogs whether it’s a couch companion or a playful friend. I know with my German Shepherd it's always go, go, go so when he sits and naps it's a break for me too. I'm comfortable walking dogs that are leash-trained and dog friendly of all sizes. I just graduated college so I’m spending some time at home for the summer meaning I’m pretty much free whenever outside of committed plans. I’m pretty flexible so feel free to message me to figure a time and day out! I know it's difficult to open your home to a stranger, so I'm more than willing to meet or talk on the phone before you trust me with your pet! To ensure the safety of your dog, I need to know of any behavioral or medical issues. Depending on the issue, we can decide if I'm the best match for you and your dog. I know the basic do and donts, red flags, and really good at communication. I’m always patient, loving, and responsible! I understand there may be specific needs, wants, and asks so I’m all ears.
About: I have worked at a cat boarding facility for the better part of five years. I have many pets and experience with the following; medicine administration, injecting insulin, monitoring the cats’ health and appetite, cleaning, and making sure each and every cat got the adequate attention they needed. In addition to this I have also pet sat for dogs and cats for years. Most of customers were regulars and I got to get to know each animal very well. I have also had both a dog and a cat my whole life, so I know what it is like to not only constantly care for a pet, but also love and worry about them, which is why I take such pride in ensuring my customers have complete peace knowing I will care for their pets! I am a college student and am available most afternoons, but have more freedoms Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends. My schedule can be very flexible though. My main concern in caring for pets is their health and safety. I will always make sure they are doing well and have all the care they need in that aspect. I also will make sure they are happy and receiving the attention from me they need. I will always follow any and all instructions left on caring for pets.
“Alexa was very communicative , and she sent us updates and photos while she sat with our little guy for a few hours while we went into the city. Romie is pretty timid with new people, but it seems from photos that he warmed up to her pretty quickly. We will definitely use Alexa again!”
“Jen was awesome. Was very interested in knowing details about my dog's routine, and sent me regular updates, and lots of pictures :-) Also left me comprehensive feedback at end of stay, with some great insight, and behavior strrategies (he was adopted at the age of 10 ) I felt completely comfortable leaving my precious boy with her.”
About: I've had two dogs of my own - one blind, and the other deaf. I am happy to manage your pet's quirks while we're having a great time together, too. Every pet needs something different, so I'll pay close attention to the details of your instructions. I'm also very focused on safety: leashes and familiar walks are a must! I am a teacher, so during the school year, I am available after 4:00pm to check in on your pet so everyone is happy when you arrive home. Also, I am booking now for summer - I would love to share my time off with your pets! I am a teacher during the school year, so my summer is wide open. I do enjoy visiting a few clients each day - it adds some structure to my own life! At my place, I have an air-conditioned apartment and a small porch where your pet and I can relax. We can take walks in the neighborhood or along the rail trail, located right across the street. Leashes and tags are always a must! In your home, I'll be sensitive to your pet's routines and habits around the house. Likewise, I'll be careful about your privacy and the condition of your home. In either location, we can agree on a timetable so you can expect pictures and updates of your special pet.
About: I've taken care of pets of all kinds and ages! Primarily caring for dogs and cats I've also cared for fish, birds, rabbits, and more. When I lived in Buffalo NY I was a NYS certified animal rehabilitationist. I was also a manager at a pet store/training facility. Any questions about my experience or specific needs your pet may have feel free to message me! I bartender 5 days a week (hours and days vary) but outside of those hours I'm available to give your pet(s) my undivided attention. Whether it's walks or spending the night with them! Your pet will have my undivided attention whether they want to play and get some exercise or they want to just chill and have some company.
“Sarah is an attentive and caring sitter. She treated my home as her own and was so careful with my senior citizen and my little troublemaker. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marblehead
Katie took the best care of our dog during an overnight stay at our house. She provided thorough updates and was so kind and professional. She put our mind at ease and we knew that our girl was safe and cared for. Could not have asked for anything better! Thank you so much Katie!!
Teri is fantastic with our two dogs, we have booked her for overnight stays before and try to book her anytime we take a vacation. Our doggos love her and she takes good care of our house as well - even watering our plants when the weather is hot! Teri is highly recommended!
Mark was great! Easy to work with, took my pup on great walks, gave updates as needed. Our very anxious pup didn’t want him to leave when we got home. This was our first time using Rover so we were so nervous but Mark put our mind at ease. We would definitely use him again.
Lauren is wonderful! She took care of our 7yo Boxer while we were out of town, and he was such a happy boy when we came back! She was very communicative and sent photos and updates throughout her stay. She will be watching our boy again next month. Thank you Lauren! 😀
Victoria was the best house/pet sitter I’ve had in ages! She was very communicative and did a meet and greet leading up to the booking. She sent pictures daily and kept me updated on my pets. She took wonderful care of my senior cat and made sure my pup had an outdoor adventure each day. Highly recommend her to anyone looking and will surely use her again!
That was my first time using Rover and working with Kirssy. Kirssy is amazing! Kittens warmed up to her fast and they became best friends. Kirssy sent me multiple pictures of the kitties every day and kept me posted of their activities. Will definitely use her service next time.
Harper has been great! She is our go-to in home pet sitter for our dog and cat. Harper is flexible with having to make small changes with a booking or care details. Harper also sends updates via text and pictures. We know Auggie and Pepper are always in good hands!
Leslie was such a pleasure to work with and treated my pets as her own! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog and cat were happy and tended to while we were away. She even made special food for my dog when his stomach was upset. I would highly recommend Leslie to any pet family! We will definitely be rebooking with her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Marblehead
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marblehead on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,983 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marblehead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Marblehead walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Marblehead maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Marblehead choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marblehead. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
