“Omar was an amazing sitter for our pitbull Oz. He kept us updated throughout each day and followed our instructions to a tee. He also left our house clean and organized. I hope that we can book him again!”
“Jacklyn took great care of our two young (3mo and 1.5yr old), energetic pups! She made sure they got the exercise & enrichment they needed, as well as the calm, rest time. She left the house in perfect condition, and we came home to two happy, healthy girls!”
“Vanessa took wonderful care of my dog Riley including spending time cuddling, going on walks every day, and sending photos and updates to give me peace of mind. We are definitely looking forward to having Vanessa watch our pets again in the future!”
“Meredith was great. The dogs were taken care of very well. We received pics every day of them being them. The house was in tact; the dogs were fat and lazy; and my wife and I had peace of mind while on vacation. I would highly recommend.”
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.
“Maria was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and Maria was so accommodating with a last minute request to watch our dog, Zolie. We felt so comfortable leaving her with Maria as she has experience with reactive dogs. We would definitely love to work with her again!”
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.
“Loved all the photos, she was great at getting the perfect shots. My dogs warmed right up to her. They didn't seem stressed when we got home, just their normal happy to see us selves.”
“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 ❤️”
“Teri is amazing! Once again she took the best care of our animals (and house) and made our travel so much less stressful. She went above in beyond in driving a good distance to get our dog a new ID tag when his fell off, and by the end of her visit, our incredibly shy cat was happily lounging on Teri's lap. We are so grateful to have her as a sitter.”
“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”
“Sam was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs and they loved her company so much. She watched the dogs while we had to travel far for a concert and she kept them loved and entertained until we returned. She is kind, sweet and clearly loves our dogs. She updated us with photos and kept us up to date frequently. We will hire her again without question!”
“We're so grateful to Melissa for taking such good care of our wonderful but neurotic dog Birdie! Melissa is communicative, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. We would have her to sit for Birdie again anytime.”
“Sasha was responsible, communicative and enthusiastic, and Rosie and I liked her right away! I would give Sasha the highest of recommendations, and hope to have her take care of Rosie again.”
“Victoria was the best house/pet sitter I’ve had in ages! She was very communicative and did a meet and greet leading up to the booking. She sent pictures daily and kept me updated on my pets. She took wonderful care of my senior cat and made sure my pup had an outdoor adventure each day. Highly recommend her to anyone looking and will surely use her again!”
“Henry was a perfect fit for my two little dogs and cat! He made sure to ask about any instructions, sent photographs to reassure they were being cared for, and managed to befriend two nervous pups quite quickly!!”
“Alycia was a dream to work with. Our two dogs warmed to her straightaway (particularly impressive as our older dog can be skittish with new people), and she was very thoughtful and communicative throughout while we were on vacation abroad. She went above and beyond when our younger dog was unwell, and she handled the situation with the utmost care and due diligence. She also left our house spotless, which was an added bonus! We would definitely book Alycia again, and cannot recommend her highly enough.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Peabody is $60

Lauren was an amazing dog sitter and took very good care of our Martha. She was great at communicating and sending picture updates, and kept our home clean and just as we left it. She even did the laundry of the bedding and towels she used which was very appreciated. We would definitely hire her again!
Julia did an amazing job start to finish. Our booking was within 2 weeks and included a last minute adjustment to the reservation. She was extremely accommodating and sent us funny photos and updates during her stay with our dog. Highly recommend, thanks Julia!
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
Sarah is great! She just watched our dog and cat for the second time, and she took great care of them. Tuck and Todd absolutely love her. Sarah is very communicative, and she even took my dog for a pup cup - I'm sure he was thrilled!! I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone.
Malena was fantastic with our 3 large dogs, one being a puppy. She stayed in close contact with us with plenty of updates and the pups loved her. All of our dogs have very different personalities and she did great with all of them. Our request was very last minute and she was able to accommodate everything we needed. We highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!
Teri is fantastic with our two dogs, we have booked her for overnight stays before and try to book her anytime we take a vacation. Our doggos love her and she takes good care of our house as well - even watering our plants when the weather is hot! Teri is highly recommended!
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.
Victoria was the best house/pet sitter I’ve had in ages! She was very communicative and did a meet and greet leading up to the booking. She sent pictures daily and kept me updated on my pets. She took wonderful care of my senior cat and made sure my pup had an outdoor adventure each day. Highly recommend her to anyone looking and will surely use her 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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Peabody
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Peabody on Rover is $45.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,028 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 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.

- 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.
