House Sitting Nahant

“Omar is fantastic. He took great care of our cat including giving him oral meds and lots of exercise and attention. He sent us 6+ pictures and a note every day, which gave us a little piece of home every day. He also took great care of our home and was easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend.”

“We've been using Melissa for dog walking and just had our first overnight sit with her. She is responsive and communicative throughout the process. She takes great care of my dogs. On her first walk, one of my puppies had explosive diarrhea in his crate, and she stay for at least 30 minutes cleaning him and the crate up. She left out house sit with the house in clean condition. I'm very glad to have found someone reliable to watch/walk our two babies!”

Gabrielle H.

“We're so grateful to Meredith! She was prompt, communicative, and most importantly she took great care of our pets and home. What else is there to say? Highly recommend.”

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.

About: I am a cat mommy and have been caring for the dogs of clients, my family and friends over the past 3 years! I have always loved animals and would love to care for your fur baby I am currently working part time. I work in the evening so I have plenty of free time to care for your pups and fur babies If I am to watch your pet(s) from your home, I would love take them out on walks, give cuddles and play with them! My schedule is pretty open so I am as flexible as possible! If your pet is to come to me, I live on the 3rd floor which requires stairs to access. I have an open field across from my complex and live 6-minutes from beach. I would love to take your pup out to the park or beach to get a good walk in! I have a studio apartment, so while there is not much room in here I can take your pup out plenty hours throughout the day between 8-3:30pm and for a nice walk at night around 8pm. I am okay with using a crate if that is preferred

“Samantha is a dream. Excellent communicator, an easy houseguest, and took fantastic care of our Goldendoodle. This was my first time using Rover and I hope Samantha is free every time I travel in the future. She sent us updates with photos and little messages that left me feeling at ease knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. Total peace of mind.”

Cara M.

“We had a great experience leaving our dogs, cat, and home in Annie's care! She was communicative and shared lots of photos but also gave us the freedom to enjoy our time away. The animals seemed to enjoy their time with her and the house was in great shape when we came home. Really all you can ask for! We look forward to using Annie's services again in the future.”

Taryn C.

“Fahad stayed at my house and took great care of my two dogs while I went away for a couple of days. He sent updates with pictures, my dogs were walked and happy, and my house was very clean when I arrived home. He also left treats behind for the doggos which was so nice! I would definitely book him again!”

Lauren H.

“Lauren was fantastic. Communication was on point and she left my home in amazing shape after staying with my pup for a week!! My neighbors even raved about her. Pup was in a good mood and seemed well cared for, spoiled even. Highly recommend.”

About: I have limited professional experience in animal care but I have nearly a lifetime's worth of practical experience and pure love for all animals. Between having pets of my own and caring for others' fur-friends, I'm always the "DD" or "designated dog-duty" person. Since I've been able to walk to my neighbors houses or drive to friends and family members' homes I've often been relied on to check-in on, walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. Along with years of experience caring for pets in the home, I have volunteer experience bathing, blow-drying, and combing dogs of all ages and sizes. I've experience caring for dogs (including senior dogs), cats, puppies, kittens, turtles, hamsters, bearded dragons, and sugar gliders. Caring for others is something that comes naturally to me. I'm currently a graduate student aspiring to work in the mental health field with children and adolescents. However, as much as I love working with humans, I also love working with animals and pet-sitting/walking has become a side-gig that fills my cup and my wallet! I'm a quick-learner and willing to follow any special care instructions to accommodate your pet's needs. I'm currently a part-time graduate student so I have plently of time to walk and/or care for your furry friends! I have a lot of open availability and flexible scheduling during summer months so please reach out with any scheduling or timing questions. Safety is my top priority, for your pets, your home, and myself. I will carefully follow all care instructions, whether they're for routines inside the home, walks, medications, or any special needs. I'm attentive, observant, and adaptable to each pet's unique personality and always allow them to set the pace as we build trust and become comfortable with one another. I'm very patient with shy, fearful, or timid pets and can adapt to ensure introductions are low-stress and with your approval, can incorporate treats, toys, or gentle play to help them feel safe and confident. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed at all times and remain aware of our surroundings to ensure a safe and fun experience. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in safe, caring hands!

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 9 years old, starting with my grandma's exotic birds and later expanding to bearded dragons, geckos, cats, and my first dog, Max, a Jack Russell Terrier who passed away at 14. After losing Max, my family struggled to find another dog to fill his shoes but still wanted to experience the love and joy dogs bring. That’s when I started my journey as a dog walker 9 years ago. Since then, I've expanded my skills to include dog training, grooming, and general care. I’ve been proud to maintain a 5-star rating and have had the privilege of working with over 100 dogs (and counting!). Through it all, I've met so many wonderful owners and shared countless moments with their dogs, teaching me just how much love and joy our furry companions bring into our lives. Rover has allowed me to express my passion in ways I never imagined, and I love being able to share my adventures with your pets. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pup or cat with the same love, care, and respect as family, I’d be honored to help. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I’m currently working from home so I will have more than enough time with your pup or cat. My routine will based around your pet’s needs. #1 priority. I treat both pet and clients homes as they were my own. Communication and transparency go a long way expect nothing less from me. I will follow any specific instructions needed to best suit your dogs needs.

About: Over the years, I have been gathered extensive knowledge about animal husbandry. Along with my coursework at Essex Tech in the Companion Animals program, I also worked for the school as a dog trainer and dog, cat, and rodent groomer for 2 years. I later worked as a dog trainer and dog daycare worker for 2 years! It was my honor to teach countless clients and manage large playgroups of dogs. Recognizing and understanding dog behavior, body language, animal handling, first aid, nutrition, (and much more!) is second nature to me at this point in my journey! These skills give me the comfort I need to know I can provide the best, most informed care to every beloved pet I work with! I work through a flexible, positivity based approach, prioritizing client and animal trust above all else. I understand that every animal needs different methods to feel (and act) their best—and I mean EVERY animal! I have experience in reptiles, avians, rodents, and cats along with dogs, owning and/or working with all consistently throughout the years! I hope we can work together to help your animal family members have the greatest time, even when you’re away! I’m currently teaching part time, so I have extra time every day to care for your best friend(s)! My work schedule is 1:30-5:00pm M-F every day that school is in session. Additionally, I am typically available every weekend. My Rover calendar stays up to date, but please note I typically don’t book out more than 2 months in advance! That said, feel free to inquire about any date, some exceptions may be made! Safety and comfort is of utmost importance to me. I know we all have those weird habits we do to make our pet comfortable, and I am willing to do what will help your friend while you’re away! As a nervous and reactive dog owner and someone with extensive experience with all sorts of animal personalities (Really! At daycare, we had over 100 dogs daily, and during my schooling, I cared for over 30 different animals!), I may even have some extra tips to help your pet feel safer. I am also Pet First Aid and CPR Certified, and I am no stranger to utilizing those skills in the field when needed.

“I’m afraid to leave this review because Sasha may have less availability in the future, not that I’m so influential…lol. However, I must say that my dogs, who have separation anxiety, took to Sasha like no other dog sitter we have had! The communication and engagement throughout her stay was excellent. We got pictures and feedback while she was with the dogs and she answered all our messages very quickly. I could tell by the pictures that our girls were very comfortable and happy and that means the world to us. Perhaps these empty nesters will actually get to go away for a weekend in the near future! Sasha welcomed my list of instructions and followed through and left our dogs and our home in great shape. I couldn’t be happier!”

“She was excellent! We were extremely nervous getting a total stranger house sit and pet sit our anxious, pulling dog and our senior cat but it was immediately clear that they were both in the best of hands. They were both on their best behavior for her and arshneel was so responsive and responsible and really went above and beyond when our flight was delayed. Will definitely seek her out again if we need a pet sitter”

Jenny Y.

“Natalie is fantastic! Her calendar is up-to-date, and she responds quickly. She's has an easy-going comfortable way around dogs that will make you comfortable leaving your dog with her. Our dog tends to be people shy and she loved Natalie right away.”

Beth G.

“Our first experience with Masiel was great. She was warm, friendly and had great energy. She was so loveable with my dog, Charlie. She sent photos and updates and kept my house very clean. We’re excited to use her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a lifelong animal lover who knows that pets aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I grew up with both cats and dogs, have cared for other people’s pets over the years, and currently have an 11-year-old dachshund of my own. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, and understanding. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand the stress that comes with leaving your pet behind while you’re away. You’re not only looking for someone who will show up, you’re trusting someone to care for a member of your family. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, loved, and being cared for by someone you can rely on. One of the biggest benefits of caring for your pet in your home is that they get to stay where they feel safest. Their favorite bed is still there, their familiar smells are still there, and their normal routine doesn’t have to disappear just because you’re away. And when it comes to that routine, there’s no such thing as too much information! I genuinely want every detail you’re willing to give me, feeding times, walk schedules, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, commands, quirks, hiding spots, anxieties, comfort items, where they like to be scratched, and even the little things that might seem silly to anyone else. My goal is simple: the only part of your pet’s routine that should change is that you’re away. Everything else stays as familiar and consistent as possible. Whether your pet is young and energetic, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or an anxious pup who needs extra reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and give them the patience, affection, attention, and consistency they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated so you don’t have to spend your trip wondering how things are going. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet, learn their routine, and help make being apart a little easier for both of you. 🐾❤️ I work full-time as a nanny Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, with open availability on weekends. Outside of my work hours, my schedule allows me to be flexible and intentional with my time, so when I accept a booking, your pet can be a top priority. I’m happy to plan my mornings, evenings, and weekends around your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Whether that means morning and evening walks, meals at specific times, extra playtime, cuddles, or simply being there to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they’re accustomed to. I’m also mindful of how long your pet is comfortable being alone and want to know what their normal day looks like before accepting a booking. My goal is never to overbook myself, it’s to make sure I have the time and flexibility to give your pet the dependable, attentive care they deserve. 🐾 For everyone’s safety and comfort, I provide care exclusively in your home, as my own dog is reactive to other dogs. I’ve also found that many pets are happiest staying in the environment they already know and feel safe in, surrounded by their own bed, toys, smells, and familiar routine. Keeping them at home can make your time away feel much less disruptive and help create an easier, less stressful transition. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect any boundaries or behavioral needs you share with me, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and anything else important to their care are handled exactly as requested. Please tell me every quirk, trigger, habit, or precaution, there’s no such thing as too much information! I have a manual for my own dog for sitters! And I know you’re trusting me with more than your pet, you’re trusting me with your home. I take that responsibility just as seriously. I’ll treat your space with care and respect, keep things tidy throughout my stay, and make every effort to leave your home even better than I found it. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet and a clean, cared for home, so the only thing you need to worry about after your trip is getting all the “I missed you” cuddles. 🐾❤️

“Katie seriously could not have been more perfect for the role! Patient, kind, animal loving - our special needs dog thrived in her care. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found her! Already booked for more opportunities. Katie, you are a gem! 1000 out of 10 recommend ❤️”

Jennifer R.

“Andrew was terrific! He communicated with us regularly to let us know how things were going. He clearly enjoyed Bernie & the feeling was mutual. The house was immaculate upon our return. He was just wonderful to deal with, and we'd most definitely ask him again to take care of Bernie!”

About: I grew up with a golden retriever and have owned numerous rabbits in my life! I have assisted my friend that owns a doggy daycare business by dog walking and overnight sitting. I am a registered nurse, so I know a good deal of medical knowledge that may be helpful under certain circumstances! I work in a hospital 3 days a week therefore my schedule is very flexible, so I’m excited to care for your pet needs when you’re away & unavailable! I do not currently board, but I do love sitting at animals’ homes! I will always keep a close eye on the animals, as cuddling or playing is always talking place.
