About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and Lab mix owner who especially enjoys spending time with puppies and helping them feel safe, happy, and confident as they explore the world. I'm patient, attentive, and love getting to know each dog's unique personality. I’m especially practiced in working with anxious and highly active dogs. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra playtime, or a little TLC, I'll treat them like my own. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I’m excited to spend more time doing something I love: caring for animals! I have a flexible schedule and can work with your needs throughout the week. I especially love puppies and would be thrilled to help your pup get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. I tailor my care to each dog's personality, routine, and needs. I follow your instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a walking schedule, reinforcing good habits, or making time for plenty of play, sniffing, and affection. I’m especially fond of puppies and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement as they learn and explore. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands!

About: I am a previous owner of a beautiful Golden Retriever and a Cocker Spaniel. I am also currently a FUNcle to my sister's 100 pound German Shepherd who adores me and I him. I recently moved out of NYC and back to NJ and a lot of my friends parents have asked me to come by to let their pups out and take them on walks every so often when they're away. I would love to take care of your pet as well. I work from home so anything works for me. Your dog will have plenty of outdoor time while I am home so that they aren’t stuck inside all day I live close to a local baseball field that I have access to if I wanted to take them out for more space to play in.

About: My name is Roma :) you might recognize me since I’ve probably waved at your dog while exploring some trees in a nearby park! Or admired your puppy on morris ave while on a walk! I’m a deep lover of animals, a responsible house sitter and former volunteer EMT, as well as a very active walker who can match the pace of the fastest dogs but loves to stop and sniff the flowers as much as any slower paced pet :) I had the privilege of watching many pets with various needs and levels of care while attending Emerson College in Boston:) I am now back home in NJ and eager to meet lots of new furry friends :) I have experience with senior pet care and special need pet care I am extremely patient, loving, and thoughtful with my animal care and can adapt to any needs of yours and your pet. I am happy to go above and beyond for you and your pets needs and I will take pride in treating your animal with the utmost respect! I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and even drop off any new baking experiments I get up to while at home :) My schedule is wide open and available to accommodate to pet care situations as I work part time! I have lots of longer stretches of time available to spend with a pet in need of social care or play time :) I would be truly honored to care for, walk, or house any pet and would treat the job with utmost respect not only towards you as a client but because of a deep respect I carry for animals! I am a respectful, professional, recent college graduate who would be deeply fulfilled by caring for animals while in Boston for the summer!

About: Hi there, fellow pet parents! 🐾 I’m Angelina, and animals have been the biggest part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been a proud and blessed pet mom for over 10 years and currently have two amazing cats who completely stole my heart. I also had the privilege of loving my sweet dog, Coco, for many years, so I know firsthand that our pets are truly family. Growing up, I was always the kid rescuing every animal I could find—even insects! Caring for animals has never felt like a job to me; it’s what I genuinely love. My dream is to one day open a rescue sanctuary where I can rehabilitate injured wildlife and help neglected animals find a safe, loving home. Whether your family includes dogs, cats, or both, I’ll care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I give my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and my goal is to make you feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet your babies. 🩷🐶🐱 I work completely remotely and have a very relaxed schedule, so my daily routine revolves entirely around the animals. Since I specialize in house sitting, your pet becomes my absolute priority. I can easily work from your couch while keeping them company, planning my day around their existing routine—whether that means early morning walks, specific feeding times, or mid-day playtime. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency so their day feels completely normal even while you're away Since I sit exclusively at your place, my main goal is to keep your pet's routine exactly as it is when you are there. Before our first booking, I love to do a detailed meet-and-greet to learn their favorite spots, bathroom schedule, and any quirks they might have. While staying over, I keep the house secure, double-check locks and gates on walks, and send you regular updates and photos. I treat your home with total respect and your pet with the same love and safety I'd want for my own.

About: I've been the go-to catsitter among my family and friends since elementary school ! I've worked with indoor cats, outdoor cats, spicy cats, and kittens. I can adjust to your cat's every need ! Though I've mainly cared for cats, I also have experience with more exotic pets like fish, geckos, and tarantulas. I have a 30gal fish tank of my own ! I don't have another job at the moment, so I am available at any time. I will update days of unavailability as soon as possible. I'm very patient so if your pet isn't very trusting of new people, that's okay ! On the flipside, if your pet wants a friend then I can stick around !

About: My name is Christine and I've been working in pet care- dog walking, pet/house sitting and even dog grooming for 5+ years. I worked as a dog washer at In and Out Grooming in Garwood and am an avid dog walker. I've been a dog owner, and find pet care to be the most fulfilling job I've ever had.

I have a very flexible schedule, outside of pet care I am pursuing a career in theater. Extremely flexible schedule! I have free daytime hours, while working on a theater schedule. Great for daytime walks and drop ins. Weekends available, don't hesitate to request! I have house sitting experience to keep your pets company while you're away! I've worked with many breeds and personalities of pet in the place they are most comfortable, happy to just spend time with them and adapt to their routines. I also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits.

About: I’ve taken care of bigger dogs like mastiffs, greyhounds, and many more. With also maintain strong connections with not only the dogs but the caretakers of these pets. In stressful situations I remain calm and can handle shy or reactive dogs. I’m willing to take dogs on hikes the park or exciting adventures. I’m currently a full time student in New Jersey but I’m constantly back in the city of Washington, D.C. At night I have the most free time during the beginning of the weekdays but towards the weekend my schedule free’s up for any time. I pay very close attention to the pets movement, and signs that it might need sorry or something may be wrong. In both my home and clients home I would apply this as well as on walks.

Kendall saved our plans after our usual sitter flaked out at the last minute. She came by the day before to meet the dogs with pretty much no notice. One of our puppies is very high energy and I could tell that he'd been run around enough while we were gone. She was very communicative and kept us updated all day. I'm sure we'll be using her again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Chatham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Chatham is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 25,481 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Chatham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Chatham 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!

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Chatham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chatham. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
