“This was our 2nd booking with Eric. He arrived as discussed, checked the cats’ food, water, and scooped the litter boxes. Eric is respectful of the cats’ space and he doesn’t insist on forcing interaction with the animals unless the initiative comes from them. Eric has much experience working with cats, which was important for me, as a new cat-mom.”

About: As a dedicated dog lover and experienced pet owner who has raised two dogs, I treat every furry friend with the same level of care, respect, and unconditional love as my own. Having hands-on, long-term experience with dogs, I am deeply familiar with their daily routines, unique personalities, body language, and individual exercise needs. Whether your dog needs a high-energy workout, a peaceful walk, regular feeding, or gentle companionship, I ensure a safe, structured, and fun experience every single time. I am highly punctual, attentive to safety and cleanliness, and will keep you updated with photos and notes so you always have peace of mind while away. I look forward to meeting your beloved pet! I am currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pets! I am available for walking or visits on Monday thru Thursday 6am to 6pm. I always make sure pets get individual attention, regular walks, and plenty of fun playtime. Safety, attentiveness, and your peace of mind are my top priorities. During my walks and home visits, I keep pets on a secure leash, follow your exact feeding and care routines, and provide plenty of play, love, and attention. I am experienced in handling dogs safely in public and will ensure your pup stays calm, safe, and well-cared for every step of the way!

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog and cat parent! 🐾 I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets. I’m very flexible with care days and times and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I’m also comfortable giving medications when needed and understand how important it is to provide pets with patience, attention, and plenty of love while their owners are away. I love being outdoors, so walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are right up my alley! If you’d like, I can even bring my own friendly dog along for companionship, depending on what works best for your pet. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own. 🐶🐱❤️ My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to accommodate a variety of days and times, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits, depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I especially enjoy having the flexibility to give pets plenty of playtime, walks, attention, and companionship rather than rushing through a visit. I care for every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and make sure pets are comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away! I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own, and my goal is to take away the anxiety of leaving your pet by providing trusting, loving, reliable and excellent care.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, birds, and more! I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I work with animals of different personalities, temperaments, and care needs. My Rover journey began after losing one of my beloved cats, turning my love for animals into a meaningful way to help others. I understand that pets are family, and I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care while making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved like one of my own! ❤️ I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and love having furry company while I work! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I try to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions while providing plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and outdoor time based on their individual needs. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. My goal is always to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: As a lifelong pet owner and proud beagle mom, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your fur baby. Growing up with pets my whole life has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, body language, and what makes each pet feel safe and loved. I treat every dog I care for like my own — with patience, affection, and plenty of playtime. You can expect frequent photo updates and a happy, well-cared-for pup when you get home! As someone who works from home full time, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches — I'm always nearby for cuddles, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I structure my work schedule around the pets in my care, ensuring they get regular walks, meals, and plenty of attention. Your pet will feel right at home! I'm comfortable caring for pets in both my home and yours, though I prefer to stay in your home so your pet can remain in their familiar environment with their own toys, bed, and routine. I believe pets are happiest and least stressed when they stay in a space they already know and love. In your home, I treat everything with the utmost respect — leaving it exactly as I found it. If hosting in my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and cozy environment where your pet will feel comfortable and loved. I'm attentive to pet-proofing, keeping hazardous items out of reach, and always supervising playtime. Your pet's safety is my number one priority!

“Sarah is a very responsible and professional caretaker who truly cares about animals. She took the time before our trip to come over and meet the cats and asked about their individual needs. We felt comfortable about leaving them with her and having her take care of them in their specific way - fed them separately and so forth. She was also very good about staying in touch and making sure things go well.”

About: I volunteer with the darbster foundation as much as I can with school. Taking care of all animals is a passion of mine from dogs all the way to birds. I work full time as of right now and I’m attending school. For the moment I can only do weekend boarding for dogs because I want to make sure your animal can get the attention it deserves. I have one cat who tends to mind his business and snooze in hidden spaces. Unless the parents have a schedule that needs to be followed for their fur baby they are allowed to roam around the apartment and use the furniture as much as they’d like. As for animals in the clients home I will surely make sure they’re entertained and exercised; however, the specifics of pet care will ultimately be determined by the customer as I know no one dog can be cared for the same.

Lily is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her more highly, she always takes such wonderful care of our girls. She even braved the blustery weather to make sure they were safe, happy, and well cared for. Knowing they were in such kind, capable, and caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind when we needed it most. Lily went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her thoughtfulness, reliability, and genuine care. She is truly a standout sitter, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets. Thank you, Lily, for taking such wonderful care of our girls!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Chelmsford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Chelmsford is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 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 November 2026, there are 10,208 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chelmsford. 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.

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 Chelmsford. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
