Ashley was amazing with my fur babies. I haven't left them since we adopted them but Ashley made me feel at ease. She developed a friendship with Maggie and Milo and I will definitely hire Ashley whenever I need a pet sitter.

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

Ruby did a great job caring for our cat while we were out of town. She is professional and kind, and treated him with the utmost sweetness and care. This was my first time going on a trip since having a cat and I was very nervous about how he would fare while we were gone. Thanks to Ruby, I had peace of mind after each check-in in which she sent lots of pictures and gave me a detailed description of how he was doing. She did everything just the way I asked her to, and went above and beyond as well. This was the best possible cat sitting experience I could have hoped for!

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.

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.

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!

About: Hi, I'm Jess! I spent the last 10 years working as a professional dog groomer, and I just moved to Alabama from Utah. At home I've got two dogs of my own, a big lovable mutt and a tiny chihuahua, so I know exactly what it feels like to hand your dog over to someone else and just hope they'll be gentle and patient with them. Over the years I built a lot of my clients through word of mouth, because pet parents trusted me with their most precious dogs and kept coming back. I've worked a lot with older dogs who need extra care, anxious dogs who need a calm and steady hand, and puppies who are still figuring things out. That kind of experience taught me how to read a dog, slow down when they need it, and make sure they actually feel safe with me, not just tolerate the visit. I know how much your dog means to you. They're not just an animal you take care of, they're part of your family, and trusting someone else with them is a big deal. I want to be that person for you, someone you know will treat your dog with the same love and care you would. I work flexibly from home, which means I'm around most of the day and able to give your dog plenty of attention while you're away. I'm not squeezing visits in between other jobs or rushing through a walk, your dog gets real time and real companionship. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company throughout the day, I have the flexibility to make sure they feel comfortable and loved the whole time you're gone. I will be home 99% of the time. I have a large backyard and 2 fur babies of my own to keep yours company. We have crates, water available 24/7, and separate feeding rooms if needed.

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.

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.

About: Dog owner & lover for decades. I have raised and cared for liters of puppies all the way up to adult senior dogs that require administering meds. I can accommodate the high energy pup with walks & hiking trails, but also love to be a snuggly couch companion to the adult senior dog as well! As a homemaker with school-aged children, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m available during the day, evenings, overnight and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate your pet care needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs so they feel relaxed while you’re away. In a client’s home I respect your space, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. If pets stay in my home, they’ll receive lots of attention, exercise, and a calm, family-friendly environment where they’re treated like one of the family. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and well cared for until you’re back home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Chelsea on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,002 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
  • 100% 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.
