“I recently adopted my dog and wasn’t expecting to have to leave her with a sitter less than three weeks in, and was pretty nervous about it. Vanessa put me completely at ease, and my dog, Scarlett, loved her immediately. She sent daily updates and even kept up Scarlett’s daily dog park routine. My cat is a grumpy old man, but Vanessa was great with him as well. If you’re anxious about leaving home, and want to make sure your pets have a caring and calming presence in your absence, then I highly recommend Vanessa!”
“Sean was amazing! She sent pictures daily of the dogs and their activities. She followed the instructions left for her. It was so nice to have the peace of mind that my fur babies were being well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I've had pets my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I treat every pet like they're my own and understand how important it is for owners to feel at ease while they're away. I've helped friends and family with their pets over the years, and I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pet is working on potty training, crate training, or following a specific routine, I’m happy to help keep things consistent while they’re in my care. I provide a safe, clean, calm, and smoke-free environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy levels. For privacy and safety reasons, I don’t offer home tours.
About: Iv'e been a pet owner all my life from raising puppies, caring for seniors, cats, bunnies and even having 4 tanks of fish at once. Times have changed and pets have become such a big part of our families and their health and happiness is our responsibility. I am involved currently with a rescue in Mississippi and help with adoptions and transports. Iv'e met many animals and their individual personalities. I am currently working from home and my schedule is very flexible to meet the demands of my clients.My services include walks, drops in or pet sitting including overnights. Each pet has different personalities, medical, and dietary needs . With great communication I make sure all needs are met to insure a safe and happy experience for your fur baby or furless will be in good hands while your away.
“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!”
“Destinee does an awesome job dog sitting for us! She is reliable, responsive and you can tell she loves your pet like her own! We always come home to happy pups and we are grateful we have someone we trust to watch them!”
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.
“Jo was an incredible sitter for my two girls, one a young pup and one a senior. She provided updates and photos and was great with handling the special needs of a senior dog. Highly recommend!”
“GREAT communication with messages and pictures to let us know our dachshund was doing ok. We especially liked the pics of them napping/snuggling :) Megan had to deal with several extra issues during our time away (ie- late evening smoke detecter chirping due to malfunction) and didn’t fuss at all. She is a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter. I intend to ask her to help us out again in the future.”
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.
“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!”
“Liz is the best! She was available on short notice to housesit my two doggies. From the initial meet and greet I knew Liz was great. You can just tell if someone knows dogs and loves them. Throughout the trip, she was highly responsive and forward with any updates. Honestly, I’m so glad I found Liz. I will use her for all bookings going forward and I will highly recommend her to anybody. And know that I am not a bot or a pre-populated review. I am a real person who needed a dog sitter from a Memorial Day holiday weekend and Liz came through! I am grateful to her.”
About: I’ll treat your dogs like I treat my spoiled dogs. I don’t shy away from whatever weird quirks your dog likes. I’m happy to help in whatever way makes your pet(s) most comfortable. I talk to animals like they’re people. I’m currently on break from teaching college writing and literature, and would love for a reason to get outside and hang out with some pups. I’m currently a renter and therefore cannot board any animals in my place, but I’m happy to care for your babies in the way you indicate to me through your specific instructions.
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.
“Our boys love Angelica! She took such good care of them while we were away for 10 days and they’re not the easiest boys to care for! So glad we met Angelica and are looking forward to having her dogsit for us again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Peabody
Lauren did a fabulous job taking care of our 9 year old Great Pyrenees and our garden and house while we were on a 9-day trip. Lauren sent us lots of pictures of our happy dog (who LOVED Lauren) and was perfectly clean and respectful of our home. Our garden was in better shape than before we left when we returned! Wr recommend Lauren highly and will about be reaching out to her again!
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.
James stayed with our pup while we went away for a few days. He took fantastic care of our sweet girl. Giving her lots of walks and lots of attention. She was very well cared for while we were away. Our house was neat and tidy upon our return. We will defintely be reaching out to James the next time we need someone to look after our pup!
Our dog got plenty of long walks, lots of cuddles and love. Even the unfriendly cat liked Toby. Tobias sent daily updates with photos enabling me to feel confident and secure, fully able to enjoy our vacation. We came home to an immaculately clean house and happy animals. I highly recommend Tobias and will definitely rely on him for any future pet care needs.
Shakuntala was very responsive and respectful of our time. She was thorough with her meet and greet which made us feel very comfortable. During the stay she sent us frequent updates always keeping open lines of communication. You can tell she loves animals, that came through in all our interactions with her which is also wonderful to see and we know Beans very much appreciated all the attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Peabody
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Peabody on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,174 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South 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 South 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 South 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 South 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.

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.
