“Omar is very attentive to our cat, Ashe. He spends a lot of time with him to makes sure he doesn't miss us too much. We really appreciate Omar sending updates and photos of Ashe as requested.”
“Natalie has stayed at my house and cared for my 50lbs retriever pit mix twice now and she is fantastic. Responsive, responsible, affectionate and loving with my dog! I will continue to hire her and recommend highly!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Natalie house sat my 2 dogs and 3 birds for a long weekend. Natalie is responsible and easy to reach. She responded promptly to any messages. One of my dogs requires special care as a senior and Natalie cared for him well. I would book Natalie again!”
“Excellent sitter! Immensely helpful when I had to leave the country for a long time and wasn’t sure if my new cats would be able to handle being away from humans for very long. Great communication and took great care of the cats and the apartment. I’ll reach out again if I need sitting in the future!”
“Katie provided exceptional care for our dogs - we truly could not have had a more attentive and kind sitter. Katie provided detailed updates, photos, and - most importantly - affection and company for Leo and Mabel. I highly recommend Katie for pet sitting!”
“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!”
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 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.
“Cynthia was extremely sweet and patient and constantly sent updates about my cat along with pictures. She always made it a point to let me know when she was fed and if there were any major updates. I could tell Celeste warmed up a lot to her which meant a lot to me. She also responds back quickly and answered any questions I asked. I would highly recommend!”
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.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have always had cats, including experience with a disabled cat who needed extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering medication, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets. I have also provided dog walking, feeding, and playtime for dogs of all sizes for family and friends. Pet parents can trust that I will treat their pets as if they were my own—keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I work full-time in a hybrid role, which means I’m home most weekdays and can keep a close eye on your pets throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-ins, and other services on weekdays after work hours. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care so your pets are never left alone for long. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my friendly cat, so visiting pets will feel right at home. I always introduce dogs to my cat slowly and safely to make sure everyone is comfortable. I keep my home clean and secure, and I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and stress-free. With several parks and a beach nearby, I can give dogs plenty of fresh air and exercise. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
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)!
“I'm so glad that Majdoline was able to watch my dog and house-sit over the weekend. She was very quick to respond to any messages and gave several updates throughout the day with a ton of pictures, I never had to worry about a thing. She spent lots of time both giving my dog attention and letting her run around and play in the yard. She left everything in the house very neat and clean as well. I would absolutely ask her to pet-sit for me 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!”
“Ilyas took great care of our dog and cat and our home. He asked questions if he did not have all the information he needed and kept us informed throughout the weekend. Our house was aa we left it when we returned.”
“Lauren was so fantastic! She was very responsive with a last minute request and made time for a meet and greet before I left town. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and couldn't have been more pleasant or easy to communicate with. The house was in better shape than I left it! I can't wait to have Lauren house sit my cat again, 10/10”

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Nahant is $111 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $101 and $114 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
