“Omar did a great job with our 2 dogs while we were away. He kept me up to date with pictures and messages. I highly recommend his service for walks or for house sitting.”
“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!”
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.
“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 have experience with puppies and mature dogs; specifically, but not limited to breeds such as pit bulls, shitzus, and dachshunds. I am gentle, kind, caring, and patient; attentive to the needs of animals and the routines set by their owners. I am currently unemployed so I am available at all times. I work freelance as an artist from my home studio, so I can be as flexible and responsive to pre-existing routines. I live alone with no pets in a pet friendly apartment complex near a public park, a dog park, and near Logan Airport. I understand that routine and crating is crucial for maintaining an animal's safety and comfort, so I have no issue complying with such requests.
“Lauren was a wonderful house sitter! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and short summaries of what my pets were up to each day. I didn’t have to worry at all that my pets were well taken care of during my vacation! I came home to a clean house and happy animals. I would definitely book with Lauren again!”
“Farhad was wonderful with our babies, and even treated them as his own. He sent plenty of updates a day videos. This is the start of a great friendship. I would definitely recommend him!”
“Took very good care of my two cats while on vacation for a week. Got daily photos and updates and always very easy to reach. I ran out of cat food and she was kind enough to run to the store to grab some more. Will use her again for our next vacation!”
“It's always a little stressful leaving your precious dog in someone's care. Megan house sat Arlo last week and I'm happy to say all was wonderful . My home and dog were great when I returned from a trip!”
“This was the first time I left Milo with a sitter, and it worked out beautifully. Andrew was great with the dog, communicated clearly and regularly with me before and while I was away, and left the house spotless. I'll definitely try to book him for future trips.”
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!
“Katie is excellent! She stayed at our house for 7 nights and took excellent care of our two golden retrievers and cat. She kept their routines and provided updates and numerous pictures three times (morning, afternoon, evening) each day. We felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. Our house was immaculate upon return and our pets relaxed and happy. Thanks Katie!”
“Sean was amazing! She sent pictures daily of the dogs and their activities. She followed the instructions left for her. It was so nice to have the peace of mind that my fur babies were being well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely use her again!”
“Teri always takes great care of my two fur babies. She recently stayed at our house during a heat wave and I had no doubt that my dogs were cool and safe. And she even went above and beyond and watered my plants! This is not our first time booking Teri and it won’t be the last. She is highly recommended!”
“Arshneel was so great with Rhubarb! She sent updates with photos and videos (which we love!) and was communicative about Rhubarb. We asked ahead of time the best way to care for Rhubarb given the heat wave which we really appreciated. We came home to a very clean apartment and happy dog, and would definitely book with her again!”
“Absolutely amazing dog/ house sitter! Shaun is VERY responsive and reliable; and provides real-time updates with pictures and videos. Apparently there was a coyote near our backyard when our dog was outside and he notified us immediately, picked up our dog and went inside. He's thoughtful, caring and left our house exactly as we left it for the weekend. We will absolutely use Shaun over and over again. We feel lucky to have found him. Thanks again Shaun!”
“Natalie took great care of our pets (cat and dog) and our home! She met with us in person prior to the sit, and provided several updates with photos everyday throughout the sit. We appreciate the care she took to ensure we would feel comfortable and confident during our time away from our pets and home. We would definitely welcome here again and highly recommend her for future pet care :)”
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.
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.

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