About: Working at animal hospitals and pet stores has taught me to care and handle not only my own animals but the animals of others as well. I am caring and loving with your dog as if it is my own but firm need be. I am not squeamish when it comes to cleaning up after your dog. While with your dog they will get 100% of my attention because the safety of your dog is my #1 priority. I am very careful with special needs dogs and always keep in mind their specific needs. I am very knowledgeable with most breeds and their dos and don'ts. Your dog will enjoy their play time with me. They will be looking forward to my visits! Thank you I am available mostly all day and evenings. Will work around your dogs normal routine / schedule. Also available weekends unless out of town or booked. I do have 3 dogs and 5 cats, but your baby would be separated from all of them. We have our own kennels if you baby is used to sleep in them. Or we allow your babies to sleep in the bed with us. We have a big backyard with toys and and little pool during the summer.
“Sass did an excellent job taking care of our 2 cats! She was able to get 3 meds into our cat with her creative food mixtures! We recommend her highly and will use her again!”


About: Hi! I’m a college athlete home for the summer looking to spend my break doing something I genuinely enjoy — caring for animals. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with pets of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I have experience dog sitting for family and friends, including feeding, walks, playtime, overnight care, and making sure pets stay on their normal routines while their owners are away. As an athlete, I’m very active and dependable, so energetic dogs and long walks are never a problem! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pet loves playing outside, going on walks, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to match their needs and personality. I’m available throughout the summer and would love to help make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Since I’m home from college for the summer, I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. As a college athlete, I’m used to staying organized, responsible, and active, so fitting walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins into my routine comes naturally. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care and can make sure your pets get consistent attention and care while you’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking closely to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I’ll follow all instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I know every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I try to make the experience as stress-free as possible. I’m very attentive during walks and outdoor time, and I always prioritize safety by keeping pets supervised and secure. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well while they’re away. Since I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have experience pet sitting, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels, temperaments, and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.

“Sara responded quickly to my messages and my same day request to check on my dog. She helped me with the mess my dog had made chewing up a floor mat. Sara messaged me to tell me what happened and I was able to get her help with everything that day. I’m so appreciative that she was able to help me out that day.”


“I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter. She recently watched my cat, Lea, and did a great job. She was patient with my cat’s “ways” (sorry she’s not the most sociable!), but Caroline was on top with the visit cards and pictures, and very reliable. It's such a relief to find a sitter you can trust. Thank you so much, Caroline, for taking such wonderful care of my baby Lea!”

“Carson was absolutely amazing! Needed someone to come feed and walk my dog and feed my cat last minute during the holidays and she filled. She communicated well and would definitely rebook!”

About: As a devoted dog mom and experienced pet sitter, I treat every pup like part of the family. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes—from playful puppies to large breeds and senior dogs with specialized needs. I’ve worked through behavior training with my own rescue pup, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and positive reinforcement. Whether your dog needs an active playmate, a gentle companion, or just someone to keep their routine consistent while you’re away, I’m here to give them the same love and attention they get at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly rhythm. I work full-time Monday through Thursday, but I’m available for evening care during the week. On Fridays I work mornings, so I’m available afternoon & evening. My weekends are fully open for pet care needs. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or evening walks, I love spending time with dogs and make sure they’re a priority in my schedule. I care for pets like they’re my own—because that’s exactly how I approach things in both my home and my clients’ homes. At home, I care for my dog Milo, who I’ve personally trained, as well as our family dog Annie and my sister’s energetic puppy, Oakley. I’m used to managing multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I prioritize keeping pets safe, on routine, and feeling loved. I always respect each dog’s schedule, feeding instructions, and comfort preferences, and I’m happy to send updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young. I’m new to Rover but have helped many neighbors, friends, and family with their animals over the years. I’d love to help you keep your pets and family at ease by looking after your pet while you’re away. I work during the day Mondays-Fridays but can easily take your dog out for walks in the morning and in the afternoon once I’m back home. Weekends are usually much more flexible with plenty of time for walks and playtime. I’m comfortable with pets in my home. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, but have a fenced backyard that’s great for your pet to get some fresh air when needed.
“Christina was amazing with my dogs during their first house sitting experience. She was patient and attentive to their different personalities particularly my shy Teddy. She left the house so clean and tidy which was an added bonus on my return. I look forward to working with her during future away trips.”

“Helena is incredible! She looked after my cat Koga while I was out of town for two weeks visiting family and I was able to relax and enjoy my time because I knew he was in great hands. Helena is an expert with cats and went above and beyond to make sure that Koga was happy, fed, entertained & getting tons of love. She sent tons of pictures and great report cards which I looked forward to reading each day. I’d love to book her the next time I’m away! She’s great! ?”

“Brittany is amazing! She took such good care of my cats when I was gone. Ember is very shy, but she let Brittany hold her on their first meeting! Thank you for the cute pictures and for loving on my kitties. It is such a comfort to have a responsible cat lover around in a time of need!”

About: Since I was a little girl, dogs and cats have been a huge part of my life. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of every basic need for the pet, from playing, grooming, feeding, walking, and loving! I have plenty of availability and would love to spend my free time with one of the things to bring me the most joy, loving animals! I have a sweet dog of my own who sees all other dogs as his best friend. He has a space of his own inside and outside our home that he loves to share with his doggy pals!
“Emilia is fantastic!!! She was responsive and communicated every visit ! Pictures of every dog every visit!! Emilia was able to book on short notice , showed up early for our meet and greet and communicated incredibly well throughout the stay. We are very grateful we found Emilia and I will absolutely book with her again. The best part of working with Emilia is she truly loves the animals she cares for. This is is so helpful as a dog mom who has separation anxiety! I love knowing my pups are having fun and getting lots of love when I have to be away. Also, my pack is a a little challenging ( everyone has their own personality) and Emilia picked up on all their silly ways right away. Big pulling dog that lunges at bikes but loves people? No problem for Emilia! Strong pullers who also like tug of war- not a problem. Thanks so much Emilia , your visits with my pack made such a difference when I had to be away. Thank you!”
About: I have always loved animals- any and all types. I have owned dogs and cats as pets my entire life. I’m an honest and loyal person. I will provide the greatest care for your furbabies and make sure they are loved as my own. I volunteered with local humane societies and I also worked as an animal cruelty investigator for years. Animals live shorter lives than us humans so we have to make sure everyday is great. I have fostered numerous dogs and puppies that I found in abusive situations so providing a little extra care is no biggie to me. I would be happy to drop in and check on your animals, take them for walks or board them at my house. I have a ten year old child that knows how to treat animals. Your animal would be in great hands with us. Thanks for reading my profile. Hope to hear from you soon. My schedule is super flexible so just let me know what your needs are and I can help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and one sweet pup that stays inside that can keep your animal company. I can’t wait for them to meet!
About: I’m someone you can trust to care for your dog like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals, so your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy on every walk. I currently work full time but I get off at 3:30pm. That leaves plenty of time for a nightly check in or a walk around the neighborhood! I have a miniature dachshund of my own! We go on at least one walk a day. We have dates at the dog park, and swims at the lake! Lots of fetch gets played and lots of belly rubs are given!

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 Chelsea 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Chelsea choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Chelsea with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
