“Caitlin was fantastic! She was able to accommodate a very last minute request and even squeeze in a meet and greet first. She sent loads of pictures of my cat, and feels genuinely invested in animals care and well-being. Excellent and quick communication all along, as well. I can't wait to use her again!”

“Jessica was so wonderful and patient with Bean! She sent me lots of pictures and I am really grateful that she was able to get him to play and eat all his food since he can be moody and picky sometimes.”

“This is the second time that Faust is in the care of Stiles and we are so so happy with his service! Regular updates, lots of photos with a happy cat in it and excellent care for in-house visits. We will recommend him to everyone that is looking for a cat sitter and call him again in the future without a doubt.”

About: I started taking care of dogs when I was about 10 years old. Along with babysitting, family members, friends and colleagues have counted on me to watch over, feed, bathe and walk their pets. Fast forward 16 years and I am now a veterinary technician! I have 7 years of experience in this role and I love every second of it. What does this mean for you and your pets? I’m trained on how to handle puppies all the way to senior care. If your pet needs medication daily, I’m your girl! While I do work a busy schedule, as well as being a full time college student, I am able to fit pet care into my daily routine! I am unavailable on Mondays and Tuesdays unless you are looking for a quick drop in around lunch time or after 7pm. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have availability after 1:30pm and weekends are totally free unless I have a prior engagement! I can be flexible with these hours as well if we needed to work something out that fits your needs better! I’ve been a vet tech for quite a while now and have learned how to read each pet and their temperment. I have basic knowledge and understanding on how to handle an emergency situation. I will do my best to ensure that our time together is filled with happy tail wags, lots of snuggles and enrichment as well! I look forward to meeting you and your pup(or your kitty)!

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.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have grown up around cats, which has given me a strong understanding of their behavior and needs. I currently have two cats of my own, my babies, who are everything to me. While I don’t have formal pet sitting experience, I’m very comfortable around animals. I regularly spend time with my boyfriend’s family dog and my best friend’s dog, so I’m used to being around different personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is already part of my everyday life. I currently have two cats of my own, so feeding, cleaning, playing, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable is a daily routine for me. I’ve also helped care for my family cat in the past, so I’m very familiar with being attentive to different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I care for my cats as part of my everyday life and make sure they have a safe, happy home environment. I don’t let my cats outside, but I do open windows with proper protection so they can safely enjoy fresh air. They have plenty of toys, a cat tree, high-quality food, and treats. I really focus on giving them comfort, enrichment, and freedom indoors so they can relax and live a happy, stress-free life.
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 Ryan! My wife and I live in Wakefield with our 3-year-old dachshund, Chip, who loves meeting new dogs. We both work from home and are always around. We’re comfortable with dogs of all types; every size, age, energy level, etc. We both have had dogs since the day we were born. My first dog was a black lab that was a year older than me. When I was 8 we got a golden retriever and I was responsible for feeding and walking every day. He even slept in my bedroom every night. Over the years I had 2 more goldens and a shitzu. My wife grew up with a jack russell, several dachshunds, a PBGV and a Chihuahua. I’m very active, so high-energy dogs get plenty of walks, yard play, and hikes on the nearby trails. My wife has a soft spot for senior dogs and gives older pups the slower pace and extra care they need. I run my own local business and my wife works from home, so someone is almost always around. Your dog won’t spend the day alone. You’ll get photos and updates throughout every stay. Fenced yard, walkable neighborhood, and hiking nearby. Guest dogs are part of the family here. They’re free to roam the house, hang out with us on the couch, and sleep wherever they’re comfortable. No crates or kennels unless your dog prefers one. Chip is friendly and social and makes a great playmate.
About: I have always grown up with bigger dogs (both lab mixes) so since a young age I have been used to day to day needs and have been relied on by neighbors and friends to take care of their animals when they are unable to. I took care of my roommate’s golden retriever daily especially when he got sick. I also take care of a friend’s Pitbull mix who has a sensitive stomach and a skin condition so this includes medicated baths and special food. I also dont just watch dogs, I recently have been taking care of another friend’s cat when she is traveling. At the end of the day I have such a big place in my heart for animals and hope to tap into that through Rover. My hours are flexible Monday through Friday as well as weekends so I can work with your schedule. I am available for sitting and overnight care at your home. Apartment in the North End that is street level for easy potty breaks and walks. 3 steps into apartment (great for older dogs). Couches and beds for cuddles.
“Ruby did a fantastic job while cat sitting. Our car escaped right before we had to leave town, and Ruby searched for and found our cat, bringing her into our house. We were able to enjoy the rest of our trip knowing that Ruby had found our cat, for which we are very thankful!”

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!
“Andrew was absolutely incredible from day one. He was very quick to respond to questions and any concerns. He made an extra effort to make sure my dog was eating and when he wasn’t, Andrew offered to bring a snack to eat with my dog. Chadwick has developed a habit of only eating when I eat, so I found that so amazing that Andrew would do that. He was always on time and sent pictures and texts to make sure I was not worrying about my fur baby. Book Andrew if you can. He was truly worth it.”

“Mindy did an amazing job watching my sweet girl Ivy! She would come over once a day to scoop her litter box, refill her food and water, and spend some quality time playing with her! I enjoy how she brings her own camera as well to keep an eye on things while she is not there - it shows how much she cares! Ivy really enjoyed Mindy’s company and was very well taken care of!!”

About: Extensive experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from raising my own dogs to working in my family’s pet care business! I am open to all medical miscellaneous needs. Your pet will enjoy a welcoming home with lots of fun toys and loving care and attention. I work fully remote with a flexible schedule that allows me to work around your pets schedule. I provide multiple long walks per day, and can bring your dog to a number of dog parks in my area if you would prefer they socialize. Attentive to all medical and miscellaneous needs. I enjoy being around dogs, giving them all the scratches and belly rubs they desire. I live in a very safe, secluded, suburban neighborhood with lots of other dogs around.
About: I have been walking and dog sitting since I was 14 years old. I love all kinds of dogs, big and small! There isn’t a time I won’t stop and ask someone if I can pet their dog while walking past on the street. Over the past 6 years I have done frequent dog sitting within each dog’s home. I love getting to stay where the dog is already comfortable and they are able to stay within a familiar environment! I absolutely love getting to know each and every dog’s personality and matching their energy. Whether it is a super active hyper pup, or a chill and laid back older pup, I have worked with many different personalities and needs and I will meet them where they need me to be! I am physically able to keep up with high energy dogs, you name it I can keep up with it. Connecting with a dog is one of the greatest feelings and I have developed a bond with each dog that I have cared for and love them as if they are my own! I currently live in South Boston and work at a school in Dedham Monday–Friday from 7:30 AM–3:30 PM. Because of my work schedule, I’m mainly available for occasional dog walks, drop-ins, and dog sitting when my schedule allows. I’m also happy to care for dogs in my South Boston apartment or stay with them in their own home, depending on what works best for you and your pup! I absolutely love having dogs at my apartment and would be happy to give them lots of attention, walks, and companionship outside of my school hours. I’m also open to working with owners who are comfortable with my schedule and am always happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure I can give your dog the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority! I will follow their usual routine as provided and ensure that they are feeling cared for and safe. I will spend quality time playing, cuddling, or simply being present with your pet to help reduce any stress of you being away from them. I will take your dog for their usual walks and follow any specific instructions regarding your pets limitations or needs/energy level/desired walking distance. Follow specific feeding instructions as well as refreshing water when needed. I love to send updates and photos of the pet if the owner would like that! I also make it a point to monitor the pet closely to recognize any changes in behavior or ability, and get in touch with the appropriate contact immediately. If staying at your home I can also bring in mail/water plants/follow other home instructions if desired!
About: I’m an extremely empathic, detail-oriented, very patient and fun-loving human who really loves creating connections with people and animals. My spirit animal is a lion! I have a flexible schedule. I’m currently pursuing my real estate license, so I make my own schedule for the most part and can work around you. I am unable to care for pets in my home, as my family members are allergic; however, I am happy to assist with drop-in visits, walks, or pet-sitting in your home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nahant
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Nahant is $22 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 9,532 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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
