Kathleen was simply amazing at taking care of our husky and cat. She was focused on making them happy and exercised while we were away. She even let us know about packages and temperatures and asked questions. She had our fur babies totally under control! We are so happy we found her!

This is the 3rd time we have hired Alicia to watch our furbabies while we were out of town. She always does a great job of taking care of all of their special needs. We worry less about them knowing we have someone reliable to check on them. We will continue to hire Alicia as long as she's available!

About: I am currently a veterinary assistant with Feeder Creek Veterinary Services and have been a VA for 9 months. I was a dog trainer with Sit Means Sit - Licking Valley. I’ve been training since June 2025 but have been taking care of dogs since I was in my early teens. My family has always trusted me to care for their animals when they’re away. I’ve worked with all different ages of dogs from 2 months to 13yrs old. Pet care fits in my daily routine with my dog, mocha, we get up no later than 630a through the week to get her started with her day. Then I head to work and help my vets administer the best care we can provide. 💗 I don’t currently plan on boarding dogs or bringing them into my home for a couple of different reasons; my dog, Mocha can be very dog reactive and I don’t want to disrupt her safe space. The other reason being I rent my home currently and can’t take the risk of something happening.

About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and ducks for family and friends when they needed someone. I’m very comfortable doing longer periods of time if needed, I love playing with animals on top of just the necessities! I’m currently working part-time and I’m able to schedule around certain times as needed. In the fall I start college again with plenty of break times! I prefer to stay where the animals are used to. I communicate constantly while I’m watching someone else animals by sending pictures, videos, and regular updates.

Jordan did a great job following our (many) instructions and bonding with our dogs. She was great about checking in with us when questions came up and sending lots of photos. We definitely felt better about leaving our dogs knowing she was taking care of them. We highly recommend her!

About: My family has had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up caring for and loving on our own dogs, as well as taking care of family & friends’ dogs of all shapes and sizes. I love breeds of all sizes & am very comfortable with large dogs. I’m currently job hunting so my schedule is pretty free, other than some days off for traveling to visit friends and family. I just got home from Australia where I completed a Master in Marine Biology. I will respect your home & instructions, treating your space like I would my own! I have reliable transportation & am willing to upkeep anything within your home to make your animal the most comfortable.

About: I own a husky, american terrier mix, and a cat. I often care for family member pets as well. Whether they are big, small, feline, or canine, I have been around them all and understand how unique each animal can be. I have an open schedule so I can spend as much time with your pet as you like. I am available on weekends for drop-ins, or walks. I understand that each pet and their home deserve the utmost respect. Your needs as well as your pet's are very important to me which is why I will see every request is met.

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!

About: (My boyfriend’s little sister is 11 and heading into middle school, during this summer break she wants to earn some money so I agreed to let her tag along with me and care for pets. She has a huge heart for all kinds of animals and has a golden retriever of her own she loves to take on walks) Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet lover who enjoys working with both dogs and cats equally. I grew up with multiple pets, including having three dogs at once, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also have experience caring for a dog with cancer, including giving medication and providing extra attention and comfort. Because of that, I understand how important patience, gentleness, and trust are when it comes to pet care—especially for animals that may need a little extra support. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, from small to large, as well as puppies and kittens. I truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just relaxing with them. One of my favorite things is seeing their personalities come out, from their funny habits to their curiosity about everything around them. I currently have an orange cat named Poseidon, so I’m very familiar with daily care routines and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m always reliable, attentive, and communicative. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule because I currently do not have a job, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. I am able to give the pet constant attention, regular feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and any additional care they may need. Since my schedule is flexible, I can quickly respond to the pet’s needs and make sure they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I pride myself on creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and comfort levels to make sure they feel secure and at ease at all times. I always follow any specific instructions closely, keep a clean and pet-friendly space, and take extra care with things like doors, leashes, and feeding routines to ensure safety. I approach every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, allowing them to warm up at their own pace and building trust naturally. My goal is to make your pet feel just as comfortable and cared for with me as they do with you.

About: I truly love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Every pup I meet gets treated with the same compassion and care I’d give my own. At the same time, I know dogs thrive with gentle structure — so I balance cuddles and play with consistency that helps them feel safe and confident. I also believe happy, well-behaved dogs start with their natural needs being met. By giving them the right mix of exercise, enrichment, and attention to their instincts, I help make sure they feel fulfilled, calm, and loved while you’re away. With me, your dog isn’t just looked after — they’re understood. My work schedule is flexible and I have time between dropping off and picking up kids from school to fill in the gaps those are usually the hardest times for professionals that work traditional work schedule. I do have a fenced-in backyard, but I believe dogs deserve more than just space to run — they thrive on walks, enrichment, and structured training. That’s why I focus on giving them real stimulation and enjoyable experiences that go beyond the basics. When life gets busy, dogs often get bored and find their own ways to create “excitement” — not always the kind owners appreciate. By providing structured adventures, I channel that energy into positive outlets, helping your dog come home happy, tired, and fulfilled.

About: I grew up with dogs but now I take care of other people’s dogs! Been dog sitting since 2020 and I have many regular families that love me! I work two part time flexible schedule jobs so I have lots of free time where I check on animals or go for a quick walk/feed! I personally don’t take animals to my own space unless needed, but I will stay the night if you want and always follow detailed instructions!

About: I worked on a rescue for 6 years and also at a dog daycare/grooming center. So I am very comfortable around any breed and being around multiple dogs at once. Every breed of dogs is welcome in my heart. I currently work first shift Monday-Thursday. I do have a 5 year old son so prefer dogs that are good with kids. I am free during the evening and weekends and can do overnights. I like to take my dog on walks or hikes. There’s always constant cuddles and affection from me or my son. I allow dogs on my furniture. I’ve also taken care of dogs in a strict diet that need insulin and medication at a certain time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Chatham on Rover is $17.21 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,032 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chatham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Chatham stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.

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.
