“Such a great sitter. Understood medication directions well, kept me up to date on each medication and how my kitty took it, very thorough visits and descriptions, as a first time user of Rover, he made an excellent impression and I will definitely be using his services again anytime I need them. Highly recommend!”
“Sheylah has been wonderful. She’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and gives me real peace of mind. I really appreciate knowing my dog gets a friendly visit and a bathroom break during the day. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Kay for watching your pet. Kay was prompt with the appointments I scheduled and sent me pictures during the day she watched our dog. I look forward to being a repeat customer of Kay’s, thank you Kay for taking care of Jenny for us.”
About: I've helped to take care of 6 dogs through their entire lifespan, from puppyhood to their golden years, loving every second of the way! I have also been hired by neighbors to watch after cats and fish while they were away on longer trips. I worked briefly as a dog daycare attendant, but now work as a writer at home, and am thrilled by the opportunity to help you care for your wonderful furry family. Pet care is my main priority throughout the week and weekends, and I write in the mornings and evenings. However I can be of assistance, I will! I have my own dog, Luna, a 35 pound mixed-breed rescue, and I treat her like family, because she is family! I would be honored to discuss how you care for your pets, and what I can do to make them feel at home as I help look after them.
“Thu was wonderful with our two cats over two weeks. She did a great job of looking after them, playing with them and providing regular updates and photos. We are very grateful for her work!”
“We’re always so happy to have Christy to do drop-in visits with Sammy. She takes great care of her, going on walks, playing and feeding her. I always get detailed information on how Sammy did, which brings relief on days when we need to be away for extender periods of time.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and have worked at a horse barn for 4 years. You name it I’ll take care of it!

I am insured and put forward the utmost effort to ensure both safety and fun for the animals in my care. My goal is to turn every interaction into a positive experience.
“This is the second time Lisa has watched my kitties and they're warmed up to her. She has a great way with kitties, especially those who need to take pills, and I really appreciate her skill in that area! She's very communicative, trustworthy, and I don't have to worry at all with her. Thank you again, Lisa!!”

I have experience administering oral medication, insulin shots, and am pet CPR certified. I also have experience working with dogs with seizure disorders.

I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way!
“Amy once again did a great job watching our fur baby. She always arrives promptly and often spends more time with him than the 30 minutes. Plus our dog likes her. Would recommend.”
“Nicole did a great job with my anxious boy. Not only that but with me as well. I have never used rover before and she talked me through everything. I’m so grateful for her patience and kindness. Thank you again.”

“Stephanie was amazing. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is kind and considerate, trustworthy, punctual, and amazing with my cat. I recently lost my other cat a few weeks before I left for vacation, and Stephanie came twice a day, every day, and made sure my remaining cat, Marley, was kept company and alright through his grief and my absence. I’m pretty sure Marley likes Stephanie more than he likes me now!! During her check ins Stephanie sent tons of photos and videos of him and it was something I looked forward to everyday. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough and I look forward to having her over again the next time I am away. Thank you Stephanie!!!!”
“We loved having Julia for drop-in visits for our two dogs! One of our dogs, Chip, was recently adopted (<1 week), so we were nervous leaving him, but Julia took such good care of them and it gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was also very flexible with our different needs, such as feeding at evening drop-ins, followed all the instructions, was very responsive and sent lots of photos of each visit, which helped me worry less about Chip. I would definitely recommend Julia to care for your fur babies!”
About: Hello! I have around 9 years of experience taking care of pets including cats, dogs, snakes, goats, rodents, and fish. With both puppy/kitten experience and senior animal experience i am confident in my skills and above all care for animals big and small. I am experienced with specialized diets as both my senior dog and cat have special dietary needs, and I've handled giving medicine via shots, pills, and pastes. I do have some puppy training experience as well as working breed care/handling. My farm animal expertise is limited but I am confident I can learn and apply my current skills towards caring for you pets. I am a full time student and work part time as well, so my days can get a little hectic. Rest assured, my furry friends are always given every moment of my free time! I love caring for animals and being surrounded by them, so I always make a conscious effort to be with them as much as possible. Of course your furry friends will recieve that too! Meals and proper walks and playtime will always be provided, and I will do my best to fit into any routines of yours that your pet may be adapted to so they don't get stressed from the change. I make sure to strictly follow all rules set out by the pet parents, including being tidy and respectful in the area at all times. I always come alone, you can always be assured I have your pets' happiness and safety in mind. I do not currently have space to board any animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Chelmsford on Rover is $26.75 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,819 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Chelmsford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chelmsford. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 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.
