“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 came back to a clean house and happy dogs, which is difficult because Coco is never happy with anyone. :) Coco must have had an especially good time, because she was in a very good mood. And my old lady, Maya, looked well cared for and clean, which is tough given her incontinence problems. The house looked well cared for as well. Meredith herself was extremely professional and responsive! I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jean and Tom L. House sitting - August 15, 2025 Five Stars. Lauren was outstanding. She took exceptional care of Our Bischone, Rosie. It was the first time we had a non-family member watch our dog. Rosie is very skittish and anxious around people she does not know. However, Lauren took great care to set Rosie at ease. We highly recommend Lauren and are planning to book her again.”
“Andrew was great with Koji. He took good care of him, took him for walks, played with him & kept him entertained. Koji has some mobility issues and Andrew followed our directions carefully and kept Koji comfortable. He was also able to administer medications as needed. Will work with him again :)”
“Sasha was a fantastic pet sitter! Our senior animals are shy and don’t open up to people easily, but they really loved her. Would love to have her care for our animals again and would recommend her to anyone we know.”
“Emily was great, we will definitely use her again! She was extremely communicative and great about making plans. She sent us lots of great photos and updates throughout our trip and took great care of our pup and our home!”
“Keelyn stepped in to take care of our dog the day before we left for a trip when the first sitter we hired informed us last minute that she had a conflict and would not prioritize her Rover contract with us. Keily was punctual and followed our instructions. She reported on our dog’s status and sent us photos every day. We could tell Beau was treated well and loved while we were gone. We came home to a clean house and a healthy and happy dog.”
“Macklyne did an excellent job taking care of our cat and dog in our home. She was very caring towards them and gave them a lot of attention. She goes above and beyond - even with a nor’easter bringing lots of rain, she still took Esther for walks and gave plenty of potty breaks. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I was born into a family of pets and have been taking care of my dog and cat for years now. Walking, bathing, playing and loving. I am attending collage in the morning on Mondays, Thudays and Fridays but after 2pm I am usually free. I am usually always free on the weekends. While pet sitting I will walk, play and absolutely adore the furry baby that I have the honor of seeing. Any rules in place I will do absolute best to follow.
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!
“Victoria was great! She watched our dog for a house sitting and our pup was happy and relaxed when we got back and the house was also well taken care of. Would definitely recommend :)”
“Cynthia took great care of Boo and our house. It was easy to see how much Boo enjoyed spending time with Cynthia. She followed all of Boo’s needs and we came back to a happy, tired dog. I would definitely book Cynthia to watch Boo again!”
“Makayla was a great sitter and Oz really warmed up to her quickly. She checked in with me all the time and sent pictures everyday, which showed me how happy Oz was. She followed my instructions perfectly and left the house tidy when she left. I will definitely ask her to watch Oz again!”
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.
“Libby was wonderful! We were in need of a sitter for week long travel due to family members moving out of the area. Libby came for a meet and greet in the week prior and the dogs/cats loved her! During her stay at the house, she was very communicative, sharing updates and asking questions when needed. She kept the house clean and checked in before the week's end offering to do anything else needed! Our mini zoo enjoyed having Libby stay and we are very grateful to have a dependable sitter available when needed. Highly recommend!”
About: I have dog sitter different sizes, breeds, and “personalities” of dogs, from tea cup yorki to Great Dane. I personally have a German and husky mix. I love spending times with animals and have fun with them!!!! I have a full time job from Monday to Thursday, and get off after 6 PM, I have few hours if needed to walk the animals and/or stop by to check on the animals. I am mostly free on weekends, anytime is available just have to let me know few days before or if it’s last minute, I can try to make time to swing by, but I can’t really promise anything on last minute As of right now, I cannot board any animals, but I can dog sit at clients’ home. Depending on how the owners take care of their dogs, I will try my best to give my best effort to take care the animals the same way the owners take care of their animals. I believe communication is very important, so I love to take pictures and videos to share with the owner to keep the owner updated on anything that is going on.
About: Growing up in Minsk, Belarus, I had an Alsatian (he was the best) as a teenager, however I don't have my own pets at the moment, and I have a lot of love to give! I had boarded my friends' dogs and cats for years, before joining Rover. I live on East Boston waterfront, close to the airport, convenient for pre and post traveling drop off and pick up. I currently work from home and love giving pets care and attention they crave and deserve. My rule is only board an individual pet unless pets come from the same family (up to 3 at once), so lots of love and attention and no worries if your pet is not a fan of other dogs or cats. I am pretty flexible mornings and afternoons/nights as I work from home at East Boston waterfront, 7 minutes walk from Maverick T station. I love walking dogs on the waterfront or play with them in the local dog park (if your dog loves playing with other dogs). I will follow your recommendations and rules strictly when caring for your pet. I live in an apartment, and can do 3 walks per day on the beautiful East Boston waterfront.
“Ana was fantastic. Great communication before, during and after the house sitting and did a great job ensuring our pup was happy and healthy while we were gone. We would definitely work with Ana again and recommend others do as well!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Nahant is $111 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $104 and $147 per night. 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.

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 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.
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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
