“Dan is absolutely amazing. I was a little unsure of the process and worried about trusting someone in my home and with my pup. Dan did a meet and greet with me and my puppy. He was very respectful and treated my pup like family. I got updated when they started/ended a walk he even played inside my house with my puppy for a bit and sent me so many pictures! I will definitely be a returning customer!! thank you!!”
“Amanda is fantastic! Takes awesome pics of our boys and gives them all the attention and love they deserve. They get so excited when she comes for their walks. They've caught on to the schedule and are now waiting at the door in the afternoons :) I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Erica was wonderful with my newly brought home 6 month old pup. She was super shy and Erica didn’t try to force her out of the crate and was amazing with sitting and trying to get to know the dog and not scare her. Would highly recommend to anyone especially people with young pups. Will definitely be booking again.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. I've also walked and done pet sitting for friends and family since I was a kid. I still do. I love animals and the more I get to see, the better! I am gentle and kind with pets. I handle stress well, and can handle high stress situations well I am available to watch, feed, walk, play with pets all the time, as I am working a job that lets me pick my own hours. I will probably ask a bunch of questions as I like to be extra sure that I am doing things the way that you want. If they have certain schedules, feeding practices, routines, specific treats at specific times. Everything I need to know. I am calm, gentle, and patient.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of my pet labs ever since I can remember. I also have experience sitting for dogs and cats of friends. I now have two cats of my own. I am a teacher on summer break so I have plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week! I am unavailable most weekends this summer. As I am unsure how my cats will feel with visitors, I am only sitting for pets at their own home for now. I am excited to meet your pets!
About: I’ve grown up with and around dogs and always loved being around and taking care of them. Since 2024 I spent lots of time worthing with dogs of all ages and (mostly mixed) breeds at Petsave in lively. I found my joy in fostering and walking dogs of various sizes and temperaments. I’ll be able to help you no matter if your dogs needs a quick walk to relive themselves or even on longer walks up to 2 hours ( up to 8 km). I work early morning shifts and get home shortly after lunch, meaning I can take your pups out anywhere from 1:30-8 pm Monday to Saturday or anytime on Sunday (even when the weather is less than ideal) I have a fenced in yard with two friendly 70-80 llb mixed breed dogs. The fence is between 5-6 ft tall to ensure even escape artists stay contained and safe. With two of my own at home I have gathered plenty of supplies and techniques to safely secure and walk up to three dogs at once.
About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, beginning from my high school days. I had dog-sat for neighbors and friends of mine many times as well, dogs of all sizes and ages. I have experience with senior dogs as my sister and I have a 15 year old dog, as well as experience with reactive pets as our second dog is a rescue from Mexico whom we got through Petsave! I have some experience in training puppies as well, including house training and leash training. I work full time currently, however my shifts vary from 8 to 12hrs depending on the week, and can be anywhere from an early morning to a late evening shift. Considering this, I can be available at different times throughout the day and am willing to work around your schedule to meet you and your pets needs! Whether that be dog walking, drop in visits, or overnight stays. In my home I currently have two cats, however I am unable to offer boarding services at this time. My services include dog walking, drop in visits or dogs or cats, and house-sitting at the clients residence.
About: As a dedicated dog sitter, what sets me apart is my comprehensive approach to pet care. Beyond providing the essentials like feeding and exercise, I bring a wealth of experience in dog training. With a background in positive reinforcement techniques, I focus on enhancing your dog's obedience and social skills during their stay. This includes commands like sit, stay, and leash manners. Additionally, my keen understanding of canine behavior allows me to tailor the environment to your dog's preferences, minimizing stress and promoting a comfortable stay. Your furry friend will not only receive excellent care but also benefit from a learning and growth experience that will positively impact their behavior and interactions. I am current studying so I have plenty of time apart from college hours. I am totally free on week ends so I can take care and play with them. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable environment with designated play and rest areas, following their routine closely. In clients' homes, I replicate routines while providing companionship and necessary tasks, ensuring pets are well-cared for and content.
About: (Please dont judge me by my stats - I'm new here :) I am a mature woman with a youthful spirit. Dogs and cats are like people to me. I have owned cats or dogs most of my life. As pet owners, we want someone to care for them as much as we do. I go above and beyond to give your animal the specialized care he or she needs and deserves. I look forward to meeting them and seeing them happy! 🐶 I just moved back to Sudbury and located in The Valley. My schedule is flexible at the moment as I am establishing myself. I can't wait to fill my schedule with critters! I own a small dog and may bring her along to socialize with your pet if that works for you. I am flexible and intuitive according to everyone's needs. If it's walking or sitting, I give lots of playtime and attention to your pet. It's not just about food, water and exercise.
About: I’ve raised everything from large Labs and Dalmatians to my current friendly, vaccinated 2-year-old Chihuahua- Muffy. We live in a cozy, one-level home with a decent-sized backyard and a great park just steps away! Whether your pup needs big-dog exercise or small-dog snuggles, I treat every guest like family and strictly follow your routine to ensure they feel safe and right at home. I shih-tzu not, your dog will have a paws-itively great time! I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and am happy to support any training routines you have in place. Whether it’s reinforcing basic cues like 'sit' and 'stay' or working on leash manners during our park visits, I’ll ensure your pup stays consistent while you're away. Since I'm home all day, I can provide the frequent, short training sessions and immediate praise that help good habits stick. Whether your dog prefers their own crate for a peaceful night’s sleep or likes to snooze on a plush dog bed, I’m happy to follow whatever setup makes them feel most comfortable. Because my home is a one-level 'safe zone,' I can easily keep their favorite spot nearby so they always feel like part of the family. I provide a supervised environment where your pet is never left alone, ensuring they stay happy, relaxed, and secure throughout their stay.
About: I’ve always had a family pet. Puppy’s, senior dogs, cats. They all have different needs and wants, and I’ll follow your schedule.

I’m good with putting her out, I know when she has to use the washroom, and I give her lots of attention when she wants it.
“Claudia went above and beyond my expectations. My boy Otis is a very anxious dog and she made him feel comfortable while I was gone all day. She even made sure to give him a snuggle before leaving. I will definitely be using her for more visits whenever needed 😊”

I'm currently a stay at home mom with a lot of availability, day and night. Starting with week days, but may be available for weekends in the future. As a previous pet owner, I understand that being trustworthy is just as important as being caring. I too was careful with who I entrusted the care of my pups to.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Although I don’t have my own pet I have a lot of experience with those around me. My intention is to give them whatever they need and love them while their owner is away. My schedule is flexible and changes week to week but I am available during the day, evenings and weekends. Overnights are preferably done at your place currently however I am open depending on the situation. When dog sitting in a clients home, I like to keep their schedule as familiar as possible. Care varies from dog to dog. This is why I like to do a meet and greet with the owner and pup before committing. Personally, I like to take the pets I’m sitting for a lot of walks and make sure they get a lot of love and attention. I understand how precious pets are to their owners and they deserve the best of care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Chelmsford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Chelmsford.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 Chelmsford 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
