About: Hi! I’m Jessica, a professional biologist with a lifelong passion for animals. My love for all creatures began in childhood and grew even stronger during my many years as a Scout, where I learned to observe and respect nature with a careful and attentive eye. For me, being outdoors and connecting with the environment is essential. I’ve always shared my life with pets, including both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy the company of all kinds of animals. By combining my technical background in biology with the hands-on experience of a long-time pet owner, I provide dedicated, responsible, and heartfelt care for your furry friends!

Since I am available throughout the day, especially while my children are at school, I can offer calm, unhurried visits tailored to your pet's needs.

Beyond your pet's well-being, I am fully committed to your home's integrity. I provide care with great love and strictly follow all the rules and guidelines you establish. Whether it’s feeding schedules, specific instructions, or home etiquette, you can rest assured that both your pet and your home are in responsible, professional, and deeply caring hands.
“Highly recommend Gregg for all your pet needs. He’s reliable, punctual and genuinely cared for my dog Coty. Gregg was understanding while my dog adjusted to his new surroundings and sent daily video updates. I would definitely board Coty with Gregg again!”
“Elizabeth and Neil went above and beyond for our pups! It was so obvious they were well cared for and in good hands. We received numerous updates with photos daily. We hope our pups can stay with them again!”
“Stacey is the best! This is the second time we’ve left our dog with her and could not be happier. Our dog loves her and she goes above and beyond. She truly cares for our dog as if she were her own.”
“We really want to leave a bad review so we can selfishly keep Dolev all to ourselves, but she was truly amazing with our nervous dog Max. We knew within an hour that we were leaving him in such good and caring hands that it mad our trip away even more relaxing. We received frequent updates and pictures, which were very comforting , and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be using her again as our boy Max was very well taken care of and loved while he was with her and her family. Highly recommend.”

“It's always hard to leave your dog behind while on vacation but I instantly felt as ease as soon as I dropped my baby boi off. He had an amazing time and the daily photos and updates were much appreciated. And because he was so well taken care of, I could fully enjoy my trip. I highly recommend.”

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life so I’m used to being around them. I also have had one other dog before and now have a mini dachshund. I’m very comfortable with taking care of dogs and having them in my space. I work a full time job at home, but I’m in control of my own schedule and am very flexible. I’m also available weekends and in the summer, I’m even more flexible. I take my dog out 2-3x a day depending on weather. We go on walk across the street at the park for about 15-20 min and when we are back inside, he is allowed to roam freely. He eats 2x a day with snacks in between and he always has water out. I play with him as much as I can throughout the day to make sure he doesn’t get too bored with his day too! My apartment is always clean to ensure that my pup doesn’t get into anything he isn’t supposed to. Lastly, my apartment building is secure as you need a key fob or someone to buzz you in to enter the building.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chelmsford
Annabella took amazingly great care of my best girl Carley. I will recommend Annabella for any fur baby owner to use as a sitter. My Carley has anxiety over being separated from her family. Annabella over achieved with my girl. I have had adverse reactions with previous boarding at some facilities. My Carley was taken extremely good care of and did not want to leave her care. I will definitely use Anabella again if she is available. Completely recommend!
AMAZING experience for (me and) my dog Milo!! Kelly and her family, including her sweet dog, Mickey, were welcoming, accommodating, loving and gentle throughout my dog's stay at their house. From the meet up to pick up, they had nothing but love and patience for my shy rescue. He quickly settled in. The pictures, videos, and reports she updated me with over 10 days show him happy, relaxed and thriving. Her home and back yard are lovely and safe for dogs to run around and be themselves. A wonderful experience for Milo and a great comfort for me while I had to be away from him. Highly recommend!!!! 🐾
Fabulous from first contact! Jordan is super responsive and calm with anxious dogs. She has her own a rescue dog Ollie who our dog loved. Our dog was very eager to get into their house to see Ollie after only 1 prior meeting. Jordan took lots of photos and worked hard to try to get our anxious pup to eat and drink enough. She made sure the new playmates got both exercise and times to rest. It was great knowing she was well cared for in a home environment. We would definitely book again.
Our family loved Ami, especially Milli! She was so kind and caring with our strong and spirited girl! I was uneasy leaving her for the first time but we felt so comfortable with Ami. She gave her the exercise and stimulation she needed and treated her like her own!
Stella had an awesome time at Elizabeth’s! Had a ball with Liz’s Charlie and enjoyed lots of yard playtime and some in house playtime too :). Elizabeth shared pictures of Stella throughout the visit. Stella would definitely love to go back. Elizabeth was great to work with and very conscientious of Stella’s gastro issues history. Thank you Liz, Charlie and family!
Tyson had a wonderful time with tom and his family. He well well cared for and well loved. We were happy they had a fenced in yard for him to run around. Tyson is high energy, but just as cuddly at the end of the day. We had never left him with a sitter before. He was a rescue and we were nervous about how he would do. Tom Is definitely a dog lover and truly took great care. he sent us pictures and videos to keep us informed. We will definitely use Tom again.

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.
There are 3,987 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Chelmsford. About 90% of Chelmsford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available 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.
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.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
