“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.”
“Meredith was great with Waffles while I was abroad. She checked in regularly with updates and sent pictures. She also left the house in great shape when she left! Highly recommend.”
About: I am a graduate of the Essex North Shore Companion Animals program where I learned about different enrichment and health care needs for a variety of different animals, as well as have been a loving pet sister to a number of dogs, cats and small rodents! I am currently a full time college student with a part time job, so I do have to be fairly strict on which days I can provide services, but I am very flexible on days that I have available! I am very attentive and love to give your furry friends exercise and enrichment, whether that’s a nice long walk or playtime in the backyard.
“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.”
About: “I stand out for my patience and dedication. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, from puppies that need training to older pets that require special attention. I always prioritize the safety, well-being and happiness of each animal, adapting to their individual needs. I also have experience taking care of the elderly. " "Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I dedicate specific time for walks, feeding, games and supervision, making sure that each pet receives constant attention, exercise and affection, without affecting my other responsibilities." "When I take care of pets in my home, I create a safe, clean and comfortable environment, making sure they have fresh water, food, exercise and daily playtime. At the client's home, I follow all his specific instructions to maintain the pet's routine, respecting his habits and individual needs."
About: Hello all animal lovers! My name is Olivia and I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for about 3 years now. I’m new to the rover app but I currently sit some of my friend’s pets which are a Pomeranian, Doberman, bichon frise and pit bull puppy. I am looking to gain more experience in the animal field as I am going to school in the fall for animal care specialist. I’ve just begun volunteering at an animal shelter in Salem to lend a helping hand to all the animals that are waiting to go to there furever homes! I have such a passion and unconditional love for all animals I hope you will give me the chance to help care for your fur baby!
“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 ❤️”
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.
About: I've had Cats all my life, and Dogs as long as I can remember! I worked my way up from Attendant to Supervisor at a local Veterinary Hospital I was at for 6 1/2 years. I had 15 Attendants working underneath me that I hired, scheduled and trained. I was in charge of Small and Large Breed boarding departments, Doggie Daycare, and cats as well. My duties consisted of Monitoring, Feeding, Medicating and exercising Boarding and Daycare Animals from Friendly to Aggressive and Puppies to Seniors. It’s a blessing to be able to give each pet (or household of pets) their own deserved care and undivided attention rather than having to split my time and energy between pets at a large facility. I consider myself lucky to be able to work for myself and make my own schedule. This allows me to care for pets and still spend time with my family. I have a friendly 6 year old mix spayed female at home that I trained myself. She loves playing ball and going for our daily walks. I have the desire and the time to take care of your four legged besties! I love to exercise and get outside so I have the energy to keep up with your pet and tire them out. =)
About: I have been dog-sitting since early high school, and am overall a dog lover! I am experienced with younger dogs as well as older dogs, I've previously needed to administer medications as needed and feel very comfortable/confident to do so! I follow the owner’s instructions as needed to ensure the pet's safety and comfort, as well as prioritizing the owner's trust! I recently graduated from college and am interested in making extra money, I currently have any availability needed as well as a vehicle to transport myself and the furry friends as needed. Can start ASAP! In the past I have dealt with pets that are very low energy or very high energy, regardless of that the overall safety of the pet is the highest priority! I prefer to walk pets on leashes at all times, and will only bring pets to large dog parks if previously allowed by the owner. When needing to administer medication, if a strict schedule is needed I will revolve my schedule around it to prioritize the pet getting their medications at the correct time and correct dose!
“Michael was extremely professional, communicative and responsive when booking on short notice. It was our first time leaving the newest rescue. He did a great job with the two dogs. We felt very comfortable when leaving the house and could enjoy our evening.”
“Vivian did an awesome job with our 3 fur babies and our home while we were away! We really appreciated her updates and thoughtfulness. We will definitely use her services again :-)”
“Olha took wonderful care of our pup Sage while we were away for a few days. Sage was a little nervous at first but Olha quickly won her over and they were fast friends. Multiple walks and lots of couch cuddles everyday, Sage was a very happy girl. Olha was very good about keeping us updated on the days events and included a few pictures so I didn't miss my girl too much.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: My mom was a vet growing up as well as a dog trainer and daycare owner. I have taken care of dogs with her for years and have also learned basics like giving dogs insulin, flea meds, and other meds. I am a college student at endicott college in Beverly Ma, I am just looking to make extra money and get outside and with some furry friends! I miss my animals and love the fulfillment of playing with them. My dogs at home have an invisible fence. I still usually will check on them a few times to make sure they haven’t gotten out, but that is a very rare occasion. In the past when taking care of animals without an invisible fence, I be sure to have them on a leash or in very close proximity.
About: What I might lack in professional certifications, I make up for in genuine love and attentiveness. I've cared for small breeds like Chihuahuas and poodles for a close friend, and those experiences were nothing short of wonderful — I treated their dogs like family, and it showed. I'm patient, observant, and quick to pick up on a dog's individual quirks and needs, whether that means a specific walking pace, favorite toys, or just extra cuddle time. I believe the best care comes from someone who genuinely wants to be there, and that's exactly what I bring. Your dog won't just be looked after — they'll be adored. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I offer dog walking services and keep a flexible schedule to accommodate your pup’s needs. I’m reliable, punctual, and treat every walk as a chance to give your dog the exercise, stimulation, and one-on-one attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I have experience caring for dogs through friends and family, so I understand how important it is to follow each dog’s routine and individual needs. I’m attentive, calm, and great with small to medium breeds including Cavapoos, Mini Dachshunds, Golden Retrievers, and hypoallergenic breeds. You can trust your pup is in caring, responsible hands.
“Jennifer was a stellar sitter. She asked great questions beforehand that demonstrate her caution and consideration. She sent awesome update photos and even found a new way to set up our boy’s favorite toy that he’s obsessed with. Our house was neat and orderly when we returned. We’ll definitely be seeking her help again in the future.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Peabody is $65

Branca stayed at my house to dog sit my dog Bella, a Cavalier. She is a senior dog and I often have to hand feed. Branca did that and got her to eat all her meals and take some short walks. She also handed out our Halloween candy for us - there were many trick or treaters. She sent me many updates and photos. I highly recommend Branca and will definitely use her again!
Hannah is an absolute gem, and we could not be more grateful for the care she gave our dog, Zero, on our wedding day. My husband and I needed a pet sitter for a few hours during our destination wedding in Salem, MA. Zero is very anxious and deeply attached to me, and shortly before our wedding, we received the heartbreaking news that he was terminally ill. Finding someone we trusted to care for him during such an emotional time was incredibly important to us. From our first conversation, Hannah was compassionate, understanding, and easy to talk to. She listened carefully to Zero’s needs and made us feel as comfortable as if we were speaking with a friend. She also prepared an emergency plan, including contact information for local veterinary and emergency services, and made sure we were comfortable with it beforehand. That thoughtfulness gave us tremendous peace of mind. Hannah arrived at our hotel on time and took wonderful care of Zero. She took him on several walks and even sent us a photo of him cuddling up to her once he had settled in. What meant the most was her patience: she never pushed him to interact, instead giving him the space and time he needed to feel comfortable. Seeing him relax with her meant everything to us. We visit Salem often, and Hannah will be our first choice whenever we need a dog sitter in the future. Her kindness, professionalism, and natural ability to connect with animals truly stand out. If you are considering booking her, we wholeheartedly recommend her. Hannah, thank you again for caring for our sweet boy and allowing us to enjoy our wedding knowing he was in loving, capable hands. We apologize for taking so long to write this review (the weeks since the wedding have been hectic) but our gratitude has never faded. We wish we could have thanked you in person at pickup. You made a difficult and emotional time easier, and we will always be grateful.
Sam provided excellent care for our two dogs and was completely unfazed by our larger reactive pooch. She was patient in letting Luna get to know her, building trust and at administering her daily medication. In even a few days Luna stopped barking at her and got more comfortable. Sam communicates really well too. She provided photos and daily updates and followed our schedule to a T. When we came home the house was in perfect order and the dogs were content. We highly recommend Sam!
Teri kept me posted daily with pictures and comments of her stay with Duncan. He was perfectly happy and relaxed when I got home. I know Duncan is in good hands when Teri is here. She is a natural dog person and has a lot's of tips regarding dogs. If you want to leave your dog worry free chose Teri.
Rebecca asked great questions during our meet and greet, which gave us confidence in her experience and thoughtfulness. She followed every instruction, and was ever-present in giving four pups of varying personalities/needs love and attention for six days - not an easy task! She was respectful of our home and even had the sheets washed. We would absolutely welcome her back and recommend to anyone needing either short-term or longer term care.
Lauren is absolutely wonderful! We had just moved into a new apartment the week before her sit, and she was so accommodating and flexible and patient with our anxious pup. She was very communicative, sent GREAT pictures of our dog (who looked very happy in all of them), and left our apartment in beautiful and very clean condition. 10/10 would absolutely recommend! Thank you Lauren!
Mark was great! Easy to work with, took my pup on great walks, gave updates as needed. Our very anxious pup didn’t want him to leave when we got home. This was our first time using Rover so we were so nervous but Mark put our mind at ease. We would definitely use him again.
That was my first time using Rover and working with Kirssy. Kirssy is amazing! Kittens warmed up to her fast and they became best friends. Kirssy sent me multiple pictures of the kitties every day and kept me posted of their activities. Will definitely use her service next time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Peabody is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $78 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,921 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Peabody. 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 Peabody 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 Peabody 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 Peabody 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Peabody. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
