About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.

About: I love all types of dogs! I have been around dogs my whole life! My family and I rescued my pit bull mix From the animal shelter and named him Tucker 3 years ago. He is such a great dog. I love running around with him in my backyard and taking care of him! I also used to watch my aunts dogs for her all the time throughout my life! I used to go to her house and let them out after school. I also used to dog sit for her when she went on vacation. A lot of my friends and family have dogs that I am around all the time as well! I have been around all sizes of dogs such as terriers, labs, pit bulls, golden doodles, shih tzu’s and many more! I am currently working full-time so I am available after 3pm but with the summer coming up I am working part-time so I will be available in the early mornings and late afternoons. I have a dog of my own who I have taken care of for 5 years now. I will provide your dog with a long walk and the proper care and love they need.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up around dogs, currently have a dog, and will probably die with a dog. I’ve also had a plethora of pets including cats, ferrets, parrots, iguanas, hamsters, hermit crabs, and even a sugar glider. Every pet is welcomed in my home. I work from home, so that means I’m pretty much home all day. If I have to leave the house, it’s usually for an a hour or two at most to go to the gym. I’m available any day of the week at any time! I have a yard in the back that is shared with just one neighbor. It’s not fenced, but definitely has room to play and walk around. Inside the home, we have a little old dog who sleeps a lot and will occasionally come out to play.

“Kat did a great job taking care of Gunnar. She communicated very promptly and clearly from the first contact; we set up a meet and greet for the next day and then two days later she came and walked him while I was away. She clearly loves dogs and he instantly loved her back. I knew he was in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and I recommend her highly to anyone looking for pet care.”

About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I recently moved home from a year on the west coast and am looking to build my schedule back up. I’m currently very flexible and hoping to fill my time with some new fur friends! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for my own energetic border collie and curious cat. My pets have taught me patience, structure, and how to understand different behaviors. Friends and family regularly trust me with their pets because I’m reliable, attentive, and respectful of every care instruction. I bring knowledge, love, and dedication to every animal I meet. What sets me apart is the unique combination of personal experience and trusted care. My border collie has prepared me for high-energy, high-maintenance dogs, while my cat has taught me the importance of trust and gentle handling. I take pride in exceeding expectations, following each owner’s rules closely, and giving pets the same love I give my own. Feel free to reach out to me anytime with any questions, I'll be right here! I am a full-time employee during the day, but I’m available for pet care starting at around 4:30 PM on weekdays (Mon-Fri). I am available ALL DAY and for overnight stays on weekends (Sat & Sun) & occasionally on Holidays. My goal is to make sure your pets get the attention and consistency they need, even outside of regular hours! I am available to take care of your lovely pets when you are on weekend get away and when you need a sitter on weekday afternoons :). I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with plenty of parks nearby and long, quiet streets that are perfect for walks. My house is a cozy, secure space where pets can feel comfortable and cared for with a big amount of space to roam or play in my backyard. I always make sure animals in my care get the right balance of exercise, play, and rest. In addition to hosting, I’m also happy to travel and care for pets in their own homes, providing babysitting or overnight stays so they feel safe in their familiar environment. No matter where I’m caring for them, I treat every pet as if they were my own!

About: I’m reliable, calm, and very detail-oriented. I give pets a lot of one-on-one attention and make sure they feel comfortable right away. I’m great with shy or anxious dogs, and I’m very patient with senior pets who need slow walks or extra care. I’m also strong with communication — I send regular updates, pictures, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. You can count on me to be on time, follow your routine exactly, and keep your pet safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I keep a very flexible schedule. I’m home often throughout the day, which means I can handle morning, afternoon, and evening walks or check-ins without rushing Safety is my top priority. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I always follow your routines exactly as you describe them. I keep a close eye on pets during walks, use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure they’re always supervised. I never rush, and I make sure your pet feels calm, safe, and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog parent who understands how important it is to know your pup is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have experience with daily walks, enrichment, feeding routines, medication, and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and very tuned in to canine behavior and body language. I’m happy to follow your dog’s established routine, whether that means an energetic adventure, plenty of sniffing and enrichment, or simply some company and affection at home. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own and I’m always happy to provide plenty of updates and photos along the way! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my day. I’m available for regular weekly walks as well as occasional or last-minute visits, and I’m happy to work with your dog’s established routine. I genuinely enjoy being outside and walking, so giving pups the exercise, enrichment, and attention they need fits naturally into my day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, comfort level, and any specific needs before heading out. I pay close attention to body language and surroundings on walks and am mindful of other dogs, traffic, weather, and potential stressors. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, harnesses, gates, and any safety routines. I treat every dog with the same patience, attentiveness, and care I expect for my own.

Natali was fantastic with our 100lb rescue dog. Natali made our dog comfortable from day 1 which is quite a feat considering that our rescue is not particularly interested in people. In fact she's often skittish and may submission pee if scared but with Natali that never happened. She knows the right energy to bring around a rescue, she was on-time for every drop-in, she's quick to respond to messages, and she followed every instruction to a T. I would highly recommend Natali to anyone who needs a sitter

Highly recommend Erica as both a fantastic Rover and all around great/enthusiastic person. I left the country and had zero worries knowing she was checking in on my high energy, large breed dog. She went above and beyond by texting me off the app, giving me unsolicited updates around the clock, sending plenty of great pictures, getting my mail, you name it. You can tell your Rover is good when your pet still looks for them when you return, hah! Erica is good people. Will book again.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Nahant

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Nahant is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 9,609 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Nahant. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Nahant 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!

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Nahant with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nahant. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
