“Omar was amazing! He took care of our 5 dogs at our home for 15 days with no issues. Omar is exactly the petsitter we needed to feel comfortable traveling in our retirement. We're already planning our next trip and will definitely be booking Omar to care for our dogs and home.”
“We're so grateful to Melissa for taking such good care of our wonderful but neurotic dog Birdie! Melissa is communicative, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. We would have her to sit for Birdie again anytime.”
“Fahad was WONDERFUL with my two standard poodles — and they clearly loved him right back. He took excellent care of both house and dogs and sent frequent videos/photos to this (somewhat anxious!) poodle mom. I highly recommend him! - Lisa”
“It’s been a while since we have had a rover stay with our pups and Megan was great!! She did everything she could to make our puppy comfortable but also take care of our older girl still recovering from knee surgery. She was communicative the entire stay and there is nothing more valuable than that. Would definitely recommend and we will call her again too!”
“We had a great experience with Josselyn! She watched our year and a half old husky while we were at work and kept us updated throughout the day. She was very attentive to his potty training needs, took him out often, and took him on a long walk to help get his energy out. She even brought him a special treat after checking with us about allergies, which we really appreciated. He was clearly well cared for, and she will definitely be our go-to sitter!”
About: I've had pets my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I treat every pet like they're my own and understand how important it is for owners to feel at ease while they're away. I've helped friends and family with their pets over the years, and I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pet is working on potty training, crate training, or following a specific routine, I’m happy to help keep things consistent while they’re in my care. I provide a safe, clean, calm, and smoke-free environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy levels. For privacy and safety reasons, I don’t offer home tours.
“Destinee was wonderful with Brutus. She sent me pictures so I could see he was happy and cared for. She also left my house just as it was before she came. Would highly recommend her for your fur babies!”
“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!”
“Alexa has watched our Romie a couple of times now. She is always very communicative and on time. She sent us updates and pictures while we were gone. Romie has separation anxiety, but he eventually warmed to her. I'd highly recommend Alexa!”
About: With over 8 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I bring a level of knowledge and confidence that goes far beyond standard pet sitting. I am comfortable administering medications and handling pets with a wide range of needs, ensuring your furry family member is always in safe, capable hands. Growing up in a family-owned kennel with 23 years of experience, caring for animals has truly been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve worked with nearly every breed you can imagine, as well as wildlife and farm animals, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different temperaments, behaviors, and care requirements. What truly sets me apart is the level of care and connection I provide. I treat every pet as if they were my own—because that’s exactly the standard I would want for my own fur baby. My goal is to offer not just reliable care, but a top-tier, loving experience that gives both you and your pet complete peace of mind. I work for a family business so my schedule can be flexible if need be to accommodate the booking requirements. Some days may be easier than others. When taking care of pets in the clients home I make sure to follow any and all instructions left by the owners. If at any time during their pets stay I have a problem or question I reach out to the owners promptly to get it resolved!
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.
“Meredith was awesome. Very responsive and even came over for a meet and greet before booking which I really appreciated. I was able to enjoy a weekend away without worrying about my cat and will definitely rebook for my next trip!”
“Andrew was phenomenal! I have two cats that require insulin twice a day and one of them is very skittish and difficult around strangers. I am always so stressed and scared to leave thinking the cat sitter won’t be able to gain his trust. But with Andrew, he was so patient and competent and confident, he had both of the cats used to his presence and relaxed and able to get their meds in no time at all. It made my whole vacation that I didn’t have to worry about them. I would hire him again and again and would recommend his services to anyone. He is communicative, friendly, and left my apartment tidy and nice. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Sydney is a fantastic dog sitter! She was responsive and responsible with caring for our dog and our home! We give her our highest recommendation and would absolutely hire her again!”
“Katie did an excellent job taking care of our dog for 9 nights while we were in Europe. We felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands, which allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. She provided regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated. Katie also stayed in our home, treated it with care, and left it clean and tidy.”
“Teri was terrific with Gully. She stayed at the house and walked Gully everyday, played ball everyday. Teri gave us a little picture and update each day. She loves dogs and her stellar reviews are a testament to what a great job she does. Will without a doubt call Teri next time we need help”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nahant
We had a wonderful experience with Keelyn as our dog sitter/house sitter over a long weekend. She took great care of our pup and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Communication was easy, our puppy-like golden retriever was clearly happy, well cared for, and content, and we came home to a calm, relaxed household. We would absolutely recommend Keelyn!
Shakuntala was very responsive and respectful of our time. She was thorough with her meet and greet which made us feel very comfortable. During the stay she sent us frequent updates always keeping open lines of communication. You can tell she loves animals, that came through in all our interactions with her which is also wonderful to see and we know Beans very much appreciated all the attention.
Bianca ROCKS. She took such good care of my dog and my cat. She’s super responsive and positive. She made us feel so at ease while we were away on vacation. She took amazing care of the house and spent time making sure our pets had a good time and were fulfilled. We will absolutely be booking again with her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Nahant
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Nahant on Rover is $111 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 6,204 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nahant. 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 Nahant 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 Nahant 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 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!
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.

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.
