“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!”
“Samantha is a dream. Excellent communicator, an easy houseguest, and took fantastic care of our Goldendoodle. This was my first time using Rover and I hope Samantha is free every time I travel in the future. She sent us updates with photos and little messages that left me feeling at ease knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. Total peace of mind.”
“Charlotte was wonderful. My Judy was so happy. They both had a grand time. She took care of Judy as well as my home. She's dependable, caring and responsible. We are blessed to have her taking care of my fury baby!”
“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.”
“Emma was a great dog sitter. She was both communicative and diligent in sending updates. The dogs were happy and well taken care of when we got back. Emma was also very flexible and understanding about logistical challenges that came up with travel and willing to accommodate where she could. I would definitely rebook Emma again for our next trip.”
About: I've had dogs all my life. I have experience for over 22 years at pet sitting specialize at in client home care. Multiple regular clients. Do have experience with cats, hamsters, and birds. Currently I have full availability to overnight sit, daytime walking, feedings, drop in visits. My schedule is open as I work on my own schedule. I care for your pet just as you would in your own home. I believe that routine for animals is key as well as a familiar environment.
“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.”
About: Experienced lifelong pet owner. Cared for many pets such as parrots, turtles, chickens, and dogs. Recent dog-sitting includes walks, playtime, basic training, and attentive, trust-building care. I work by appointment at a nearby salon, about five hours daily, sometimes even less than that depending on the appointments. Flexible schedule lets me return home often, and my boyfriend works from home most of the time. If your dog needs full attention time we can work it out. My apartment building has a small fenced patio with free dog potty bags. My balcony stays locked while petsitting, and we take plenty of walks and playtime inside and outside the apartment. I currently own a petsnake that stays in his cage in a different room whenever I do petsitting.
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.
About: I got my own dog (Cavapoo) in 2020 and spent a substantial amount of time training him when he was a puppy. I have also done overnight dog sitting for a family I regularly babysit for. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! 😊 I am currently a school-based mental health therapist. Half of the week, I work remotely. I am looking for house/pet sitting roles that allow me to go to work (when in-person) for a few hours and then come back to be with your pet the rest of the afternoon/night. I am usually totally free on the weekends!! I tend to spoil pets (in a good way)! I give them lots of attention and love. I love cuddling with pets, taking them on walks, and giving them treats. I am also very attuned and consistent with any predetermined schedules or routines that you may have for your pet
“Rifah was so friendly and did a great job taking care of our reactive/anxiety filled dog. We had some outdoor work that unfortunately went a little longer than expected and went through Rifah's stay at our house, but I really appreciated her flexibility with taking Wally out before they arrived for the day!”
“Sarah is always great with our fur babies! We can tell from the photos and videos that Tuck and Todd love spending time with her and that they're being well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
About: Just here to take that worry off your plate completely and replace it with real peace of mind. This is incredibly personal to me because I’ve always believed pets are family. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the lifetime of hands-on experience I’ve had with animals and the calm, attentive care I provide. I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs and have continued to be around them ever since, so being around animals feels very natural to me. When caring for pets for friends and family, I’ve often watched multiple animals at once, usually two or three dogs along with a few cats, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m experienced with everyday pet care tasks such as walking, playtime, bathroom breaks, feeding schedules, and administering medications when needed. I also make it a priority to give each pet attention and care tailored to their individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I currently work full time, so I’m typically available for pet care in the afternoons and evenings during the week, as well as on weekends. Depending on the location, I may also be available for visits during my lunch break on weekdays. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit their pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent, reliable care. Unfortunately I currently live in an apartment that doesn’t allow pets, but I have a cat who lives with my parents, so I’m very familiar with daily pet care and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I make sure to stick to the pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also treat every home with respect, keeping things clean, secure, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have taken care of my friends' pets and they got many updates of their babies from me with pictures! I have taken care of reptiles, insects, birds, cats, dogs, and even chickens. I'm very flexible to scheduling pet care and taking care of walks/feedings with AM and PM needs. Just need a heads up to schedule it in at least 2 days! I have a certificate in Pet CPR and First Aid through ProTrainings. I also have a reliable car to transport pets in case of emergencies.
“Keishly went above and beyond to care for our pal Dillon! We could not be happier with her care. She is very organized, prompt and great at sending daily updates. She made us feel so at ease while on a long trip knowing our dog Dillon was well cared for. We loved seeing pictures and videos of our pal each day. She even comforted him during our dog’s biggest fear — thunder storms and helped him feel calm and loved. Our home was left cleaner than when Keishly arrived and she was amazing by helping with small houses tasks like bringing in the mail, collecting packages, watering plants, and taking out trash bins. Keishly is an outstanding sitter and we would certainly love to book with her again!! Thank you Keishly!!”
About: Punctual, flexible and experienced pet sitter. Your pet will feel at home under my care. Clean, observant and caring. Experience with dogs Of all sizes I’m currently working part time and have flexibility in the early mornings and throughout the day. I am available to board in my house every day and weekends I have a fenced yard, a nearby doggie park and walking trail. It also have a mini poodle mix that can keep company to your pet. I have crates if needed.
“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!”

We couldn’t be happier with Branka! She was a great fit for our pup, took excellent care of her and our home, and gave consistent updates while we were gone. We loved getting silly videos of our girl playing in the water, or pictures of them cuddled up on the couch. Would absolutely use her again!
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.

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.
<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 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!

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 .
