“This was our second time booking with Sabrina and we were so glad she was available to care for our older cat. To know our cat was in excellent hands put our minds at ease while we were away, and Sabrina was prompt with communication and went above and beyond in taking care of Miss Kitty's needs. We would be thrilled to book with Sabrina again when we need cat care and know that our cat would agree :) Thanks Sabrina!”
“We are so grateful to have found Cecilia. She has taken great care of our cats while we were away and sent such cute photos of them playing. Cecilia is very thoughtful about what will make them most comfortable which we appreciate so much!”
“Cooper was an amazing dog sitter for Bailey. She was very communicative, wrote up great summaries for each visit and treated my pup with kindness, care and lots of love. I would highly recommend Cooper for all your pet sitting needs!”
“Emma was AMAZING!! She took care of our two cats while we were away and I can say we’ve never had such a thorough or loving sitter before. She sent messages in great detail after her visits + pictures and videos. One of our cats has been newly diagnosed with seizures so medication regimen and a prescription feeding schedule made us nervous to leave them, but we had no reason to be. She not only went above and beyond on the fine details, but first and foremost focused on building trust with our girls. That meant so much to us! Emma took such great care!!! She will be our new go-to when we are away! ?”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up around dogs, currently have a dog, and will probably die with a dog. I’ve also had a plethora of pets including cats, ferrets, parrots, iguanas, hamsters, hermit crabs, and even a sugar glider. Every pet is welcomed in my home. I work from home, so that means I’m pretty much home all day. If I have to leave the house, it’s usually for an a hour or two at most to go to the gym. I’m available any day of the week at any time! I have a yard in the back that is shared with just one neighbor. It’s not fenced, but definitely has room to play and walk around. Inside the home, we have a little old dog who sleeps a lot and will occasionally come out to play.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. I grew up with two dogs at home and have spent the last three years dog sitting, which has given me experience with all kinds of pups—tiny to extra-large, playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m familiar with administering medications if needed and dedicated to sticking to your dog’s routine to ensure they feel at ease. My focus is always on making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and has plenty of fun. I’ll care for them like they’re my own, and I’ll keep you in the loop with updates and lots of pictures so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands! I currently work on a remote schedule with occasional in-office days, which allows me plenty of time to care for and play with your dogs. My schedule is flexible, and I am typically available to board pets any day of the week. I have a yard that provides easy access for your dog to go to the bathroom quickly and conveniently. Additionally, I am located near several parks for walks and outdoor activities. I can also crate your dog upon request. Due to my apartment’s noise policy, I kindly ask that your dog is comfortable being left alone without excessive barking.

About: I have had one dog in the past. Her name is Gigi and she is a golden doodle. She is an extremely active dog who keeps me active 24/7. She loves to cuddle and play and is so caring with people and other animals. The most unique characteristic about Gigi is that she has been obedient since the day we got her. Her training was so simple and easy to do. Training her was so easygoing that I learned enough to train my best friends dog Mia. I think having such a sweet puppy like Gigi made it even more fun to care and train for dogs. I trained Gigi and Mia to be able to remain calm in stressful/overstimulating moments, they are both well skilled in recognizing hand and verbal signals. Both are well behaved when hey are not wearing a leash and also very well in controlling impulsive behavior. I currently work full time so I am available in the afternoons. I am off by 5pm. I am available every weekend, all day. I do plan on having a more flexible schedule in the next 2 months. I personally do not have any pets at the moment. I have had 1 pet in the past and have been trusted by a few friends to care after their pets. I always ask the owner the basic information I need regarding their pets and do my best to ensure a fun and safe environment for all animals!
About: *My bischon poodle will not be here the same time as your dog Working from home with a flexible schedule to give pets needed time and attention. I was an animal shelter volunteer and I worked with rescue dogs and cats to help them improve their behavioral skills and find forever homes. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I also can perform baths and light grooming. I can provide dog/cat-sitting in your home, dog walking, and other menial tasks. I have my own transportation and I'm flexible on time extensions and last-minute calls. I've worked with both small and large dogs and feel confident handling either or both. Additionally, I have ample experience with cats and kittens and feel comfortable caring for them. In the past my family and I have had dogs, cats, and hamsters. I currently have a small bishon poodle as a pet and am always super excited to make more furry friends! I have very few classes and am a graduating student so I have time on my hands to do walks and spend quality time with your dog. I keep dogs on leash in unfenced areas am super active and can help tire your pup out if need be. I do not have other dogs at home.
About: grew up surrounded by pets, so caring for them comes naturally. My experience looking after children makes me patient, responsible, and loving — the same way I care for every dog or cat, as if they were part of my own family. I am available for pet care from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, as I work with children in the afternoons. During this time, I can provide feeding, playtime, walks, medication administration, and lots of attention to ensure pets feel safe and happy. I’m flexible with occasional early mornings or later pickups if needed I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable whether in my home or theirs. I create a calm and clean environment, provide fresh food and water, and supervise them at all times. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including medication or special care, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.
About: I grew up with dogs and animals around me so would love to continue being around them. Life is boring without them, in our world. I work full time and go to school during the week would love to help people out during the weekend and maybe even weekdays if there is that relationship. I currently am not offering pet sitting at my house because my Roomate is allergic but I can come to the dogs home and care for them.
About: I have dedicated my entire life to caring for animals. I’ve had dogs since childhood, and my passion led me to study Veterinary Medicine in Venezuela, where I practiced as a veterinarian for over 30 years. I owned my own farm, caring for cows, chickens, sheep, pigs, ducks, rabbits, snakes, turtles, and of course, dogs and cats. I also have experience with birds ranging from parakeets and parrots to owls. My work has given me expertise with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I always ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working toward validating my veterinary degree here in the United States so I can continue serving pets and their families. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, or just some company, I make sure your furry, feathered, or even scaly friend feels cared for and loved while you’re away. I am currently focusing on my studies to qualify my Veterinary degree here in the U.S. With decades of veterinary knowledge and hands-on care experience, I know how to keep pets safe, healthy, and stress-free. I’m comfortable administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, as well as caring for pets with special needs. I treat every pet like family, giving them the attention and affection they deserve.

About: Nothing really sets me apart. I believe every sitter on here should be Attentive, Caring, Knowledgeable, and Reliable. I am those things as well. Oh. I forgot. I'm a photographer so if you want nice pictures of your pet, I can make that happen. I work part time at the moment 3 days a week. From 6am - 10am. Therefor I have more than enough time to fit in bookings and spend time with your furry friends. I will follow whatever instructions you leave for me no matter how specific.

Macklyne is a very kind soul! My dog felt comfortable with Macklyne from the moment with met Macklyne, which made me feel so confident. I knew Luna would be in good hands while I was gone, which was definitely the case. Macklyne kept me informed the whole time, which was a bonus.
Felicia was wonderful! She listened to my recommendations of how to approach the first meeting with my dog, as he is nervous with new people. She goes at his pace and isn’t in his face but gives him lots of pets when he wants them. She is also very communicative and goes above and beyond- even trying help us with the crate he broke out of 😅 Felicia provided great peace of mind and I knew Lincoln was in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Chelsea is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $47 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 9,787 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Chelsea. 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.
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 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.
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 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.
