I have a dog of my own, and if your dog is socialized they can be play buddies! I currently have a part time job so my schedule is very flexible and open! I can try my best to work with your schedule. I am open to whatever environment your pet feels most comfortable in and am willing to do whatever is needed for them to be comfortable.

About: Hi! I’ve loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Being around animals has always felt natural to me — their energy, personalities, and unconditional love are something I truly connect with. I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort, I’m experienced in providing safe, attentive, and loving care. My daily responsibilities include supervised group play, feeding routines, cleaning and sanitizing, monitoring behavior, and helping pets feel comfortable while away from home. Working in this environment has taught me how to read body language, manage multiple dogs safely, and respond calmly in any situation. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I genuinely love what I do — I’ve always been the kind of person who picks animals over people! Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me; it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday. Just send me a message and I will most definitely find you time to fit you in I am very flexible I have a fenced in yard, lots of treats toys and bones, access to inside. Crate friendly if needed, or wanted. Very safe, cozy, warm, entertainable home

About: Hello! I’m Liz, a K-1 teacher with a passion for understanding the unique, non-verbal personalities of our beloved pets. With extensive personal experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish, I know that animal communication is all in the details—from a swish of a tail to a specific reptilian posture. I am responsible, nurturing, and looking to fill my extra time by providing capable, knowledgeable care for your "fur kids." Whether it’s high-energy dog walking or keeping your scaled/finned friends on their specific schedules, your pets will be safe, loved, and thoroughly engaged. I am currently working as a teacher in the afternoon and have morning and evening availability M-F for dog walking, daily check-in's, house sitting and more. As a K-1 teacher, I specialize in "reading the room" and picking up on non-verbal cues, a skill that allows me to provide an exceptional level of observant, intuitive care for your pets. My approach is rooted in safety and structured communication; I don’t just "stop by," but instead actively monitor body language—from a cat’s tail swish to a reptile’s posture—to ensure every animal is thriving. You can expect detailed updates after every visit regarding behavior, appetite, and health, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m double-checking heat and humidity settings for your exotic pets or maintaining hyper-vigilance during dog walks, I treat your home and "fur kids" with the highest level of professional responsibility, ensuring your space is secure and your pets feel safe, seen, and loved.

About: Having grown up with a dog and now raising a family with two young children, caring for living creatures with patience, structure, and genuine affection is second nature to me. I understand that pets aren't just animals—they're family members who thrive on consistent routines, clear boundaries, and lots of attention. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup’s routine, managing feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm, cozy environment overnight, I bring a gentle, dependable, and highly organized approach to pet care. I treat every home with utmost respect and every dog as if they were my own. As a mom with a structured daily routine, pet care integrates seamlessly into my schedule. I focus on early morning and evening routines—ideal times for overnight house sitting, morning feedings, and evening walks or drop-in visits. Because my household operates on a reliable daily rhythm, I am highly consistent with feeding schedules, timely medication, and bedtime routines. Whether dropping in for a 30-minute visit or staying overnight, I plan my days to ensure pets receive dedicated, uninterrupted attention during their most important care windows. Safety, clear communication, and respecting your space are my top priorities. As a parent of two young children, taking a proactive approach to safety is second nature to me—I am always vigilant about securing doors, keeping household hazards or small objects out of reach, and maintaining a clean, secure space. In your home, I strictly follow your specific security instructions, keep feeding areas tidy, manage litter boxes daily, and ensure your pet’s normal routine remains completely undisturbed. For walks and outdoor time, I keep dogs securely leashed and pay close attention to environmental surroundings. I respect every pet’s boundaries by letting timid animals approach at their own pace, and I always confirm your local vet details and care instructions beforehand. You can count on frequent updates and photos so you always know your pet and home are in safe, caring hands.

I have a very nervous pittie, and a crazy bully, Alyssa was very good at easing her way into my pitties trust. She always followed all directions, and even came through when my power at home went out and my dogs were alone! Alyssa was ALWAYS on time, took pictures, let me know how they did every single walk!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Chelmsford is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $37 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 10,277 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Chelmsford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 your Chelmsford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Chelmsford after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

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

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
