“Lauren did a great job watching our dogs! She was always on time, gave us updates each visit, and loved on our pets. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was watching them while we were away. We highly recommend her!”
“She is amazing! She loves my dog even though he is big and can be a bit rowdy! He is a 100lb lab who can have bad manners when he is excited. She does great with him!”

“Claire was amazing with my babies!! She cared for them while I was away like they were her own. I came home to happy babies and all thanks to Claire!! I will absolutely book with her again 😻”
About: I am an animal lover to my core. I’ve worked with animals throughout my life helping out my neighbors, friends, family, and colleagues. I enjoy taking my own pups to the dog park and throwing a ball and watch them run around! I’m currently in college however 4 out of my five classes are online, that being said, I am unavailable from 2-4 on Monday and Wednesday. But available before or after during those days and available any day of the week. Your pup will get to play with my pups unless specified otherwise. I have a local dog park that I take all my dogs that I sit. With me, you can be sure that your dog is being cared for and I will make sure they’re being watched at all times! I’m currently in school from 1-3pm Mondays and Wednesdays but I am available throughout the week if it’s not during those times! I do not have a fenced in yard but I take my own pups to the dog park, yours are more than welcome to tag along!
“We were extremely pleased with how well Stephanie took care of our cat. He needed insulin shots twice a day on a 12 hour schedule and we were nervous leaving this to a pet sitter. Stephanie was prompt, kept his meds schedule, played with him, and he seemed to really respond well to her. We will definitely book her next time we need a sitter.”
“Rachel & Justin took great care of my fur baby! They sent me tons of photos and every detail about the check in. They even changed out the whole litter box and I didn’t ask them to do that at all! 10/10 recommend!”
About: I have over nine years of experience caring for dogs, including one year as a boarder. Growing up, I fostered dogs and cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, but since I can’t have one where I live, getting to walk and care for them every day brings me so much joy! Whether your pup needs extra playtime, careful attention, or a dependable walker, I’m here to help. As an online student at UAB, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks and pet care throughout any day of the week. I’m usually up by 6 AM, so I’m available for early morning walks if needed. However, I prefer not to do nighttime walks for safety reasons. Whether your pup needs a midday walk or an afternoon play session, I’m happy to be there! I provide pet care in clients’ homes, following all given instructions to ensure consistency and comfort for your dog. Whether it’s walking, exercise, feeding schedules, or crate time, I follow routines closely to keep pets happy and stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and personalized care to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.
“Sonya was outstanding! She went above and beyond, as we had a sick pup which she tended to and then had to go pick up more medication and special dog food, as well as some of the mess he made, she was diligent in her care for both of our dogs. She kept me informed nightly with an added touch of cute pictures.”
“Jordan was so easy to work with—it was a last minute booking, and she made time for a meet and greet. Sent cute pics, and I could tell my pup enjoyed himself! I’ll definitely book again!”
“Jennifer is very responsive to messages and showed up on time plus she even tried to change Athena's litter box but we have a litter robot. I appreciated she was trying to do it without being asked.”
“Jennifer was wonderful. This was our first time using “Rover” and it exceeded our expectations. Jennifer kept in touch with us and sent pics of our girl. We highly recommend Jennifer!!”
“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!”
“Adelle, Bosun gave you high 4 paws leap. I had never seen the calm dog channel. What is it called in the Guide? Give me a call when you have a chance. The tip connection is not working. Thanks, George”
“Kristie is so caring, nurturing and a perfect person to walk, watch or take care of your animal. We definitely will look to schedule her again as she kept us updated on everything and wonderful with our Zeus. Thank you so much.”
“The best! I was able to go in a trip knowing that my little Taco would be taken care of. Lauren was great at communication, was on point, and super sweet to talk to. I recommend 100%. Thanks girl!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Chelsea on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,004 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chelsea. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Chelsea. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
