About: I’ve always loved spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away! I have experience cat-sitting and regularly caring for my roommate’s cat when she’s out of town. I enjoy playing with him, giving him plenty of cuddles and attention, and keeping him entertained—even turning on the TV so he can watch bugs jumping around! I’ve also helped walk and look after my neighbors’ dogs, spending time playing with them and keeping them company. Whether it’s going for a walk, having a little playtime, giving lots of affection, or simply hanging out together, I love making sure pets get the attention and companionship they need. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel comfortable and loved. Hi my schedule is very flexible! I am able to make time to care for your pets anytime! I am also available on weekends. Please let me know what works best for you. I’d be happy to care for pets in their home by keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I can provide fresh food and water, playtime, walks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and comfortable and give them lots of love and attention while their owner is away.
“Ally is awesome!! My dog absolutely loved her and she did everything I needed her to do, even on short notice! She also was great at keeping in contact and sending pics! If you need a sitter, Ally is your girl! Thanks for loving on my big girl! :)”
“Tracy is a fabulous kitty sitter! She watched our senior cat (18 y/o) and was super attentive! She was very thoughtful and considerate and our cat really liked her and he’s quick picky. We’ll def be rebooking with her again”
About: As someone who grew up with dogs and who has been taking care of them since I was 7, I love dogsitting! Not only am I a huge dog lover but I also love being able to help others know their dog is safe and happy with me while they are busy or away. I provide top notch care for pups of all ages and breeds (including lots of cuddles!) and I make sure they are happy and comfortable during their time with me. I'm a law student Suffolk University, so I have a flexible schedule! By and large I am able to be with your pet most of the time if you book boarding in your home, and I have a wide open schedule for walks and drop in visits! I make sure to create a relationship with your pet where they trust me and know I will take the absolute best care of them!
“Cat did a fantastic job with our 3 cats. Since this was our first time using Rover, Cat addressed all of our questions, and took special care in her communications with us. . Due to a medical condition, one cat needed 3 different pills twice a day. While initially meeting with Cat, we saw our cats have positive interactions with her, leaving us with a good feeling. Cat kept to our strict medicine and feeding schedule, checking in every time with personal updates on each cat and sending plenty of pictures. She cleaned up the litter box, as well as a random puking incident, even asking how to clean fabrics. We can't thank her enough for making our first Rover experience an incredibly positive one. We'd definitely recommend her to friends and family, as well as using her again ourselves.”
About: I’ve been raising dogs since i was a child. I’ve had 4 dogs throughout my life. Out of the most recent 2, one was a senior with heart problems so i have much experience with older dogs and giving medicine if necessary. My other dog is a rescue, i’ve raised since she was 3 months old. In addition to behavioral classes i took with her, i’ve potty trained, crate trained and trained her to have basic skills myself. I’ve raised most of my dogs (there was one adult rescue) from puppy to senior years so i hold much experience with dogs in these age ranges. I can care for dogs that are of all skill levels and ages. My dog and i are able to adapt to any energy level your pup may be at and will always care for them as if they are my own. I currently work full-time but luckily I am hybrid. I work in office Mon, Tues, and Thurs. Otherwise, I will normally always be with your pet unless i must go out and run errands. However, i also love to take my dog wherever i go as long as i know i’m making a quick stop, so if your dog loves car rides we will be together most of their stay. During 2025 holidays i will be at home full time until 1/4/26 I have one sweet puppy who loves other dogs and will gladly welcome them into the home. i tend to keep the house pretty tidy so my dogs can’t get into anything. If there’s anything specific your fur baby needs to avoid let me know. Lastly, i have a camera in my home to watch my puppy if i’m away and as my client i can provide footage of their stay to keep you at comfort.

“I had the pleasure of having Lynn to look after my cats while I was away, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided. Lynn was incredibly professional, attentive, and caring. Each visit was accompanied by detailed updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Tawana's pet-sitting service! She cared for my cat with such love and attention, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Despite the building management losing the spare key, Tawana made an extra trip on the same day to ensure my cat was well-cared for, demonstrating her commitment and professionalism. She took the time to feed, water, and clean the litter box, and even played with my cat to keep her happy and entertained. Tawana also sent me the most adorable pictures and videos, which made me feel so connected while I was away. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly stand out. I am beyond satisfied with her service and incredibly grateful for her help. I highly recommend Tawana to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Amanda is fantastic! She was so attentive and caring for my 2 kitties while I was out of town. She’s very responsive, sent lots of pics and I can tell she truly cares about their well being. Def recommend & I will book her again in the future! Thanks Amanda!”
“Chloe did a great job with my two cats! From the pictures, they warmed up to her quickly and were happy and healthy upon my return. Chloe followed the care instructions immaculately and was always punctual. I would 100% recommend Chloe!”
“Liz is the best! She took phenomenal care of my two little ragamuffins while I was abroad for two weeks. She sent the funniest pictures and videos of them, played with them, and made me feel so much better about not being home with them. She's truly the best pet sitter I've ever had. I know I can fully trust her to take as great care of them as I do. :)”
About: I’ve been an owner and cared for pets from a very young age. My first ‘jobs’ as a young kid were walking family members’ dogs and pet sitting for them. Since then I’ve loved doing this for friends and hoping to do more! I am looking to house sit and do drop-in care, but not currently looking to host pets in my space as I have 3 cats and my landlord does not allow dogs in the apartment. I'm currently working full time on a hybrid schedule. I go to the office 3 days a week and the other two days are spent at home when I am remote. On the weekends, my schedule is mostly flexible unless I have plans to attend to. I am a loving pet owner who is very attentive to my pets’ needs. I am happy to meet all of your pet care needs, as dictated by you. I am looking to house sit and do drop-in care, but not currently looking to host pets in my space as I have 3 cats and my landlord does not allow dogs in the apartment.
About: I have always had my own dogs and cats throughout my life. I now find myself without a pet and really miss my own pups! Also, I have been working with a Service Dog Trainer in order to train those hard-working dogs! It has been very rewarding, and I also would like to help you with anything that you need help with to allow your dog be the best dog they can be. I am currently working on my training certification full time but since my schedule is flexible, I can meet the time needs of your pet. I am working towards my Training Certification which has been really exciting for me. I will always walk your dog on his/her leash unless I am advised otherwise. I live near a few parks but also enjoy dog walking at the Beach. Dog socialization is important, but your pet's safety and happiness is paramount to me. I live alone so I can devote all of my attention to your pet
“My dog is new to town and can be skittish, but Shantae was absolutely great with him. She was patient in the beginning and soon Pedro was playing with her and having a blast. She was communicative, helpful, and a great sitter/walker. Looking forward to using her again!”
“Andrea is fantastic! I highly recommend. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and marvelously calm and kind with my with older, somewhat anxious herding breed mix. I was happy to find several treat puzzles had been used, and I was greeted by a calm, happy dog!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
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.
Emily was amazing! She took such great care of my puppy, especially while he was recovering from being neutered, and even made a point to give my cat some love during her visits. My puppy can be a little wary of new people, but he and Emily hit it off quickly, and he always looked so happy in the photos she sent. She is incredibly friendly, reliable, and clearly wonderful with animals. I would absolutely recommend her!
I’m very thankful that I found Szu. She helped to feed my dogs when I really needed as I was away. She answers my questions and followed my instructions. She offered to do more than I asked for. I highly recommend her services and I’ll book her services again.
Jasmine filled in last minute for me to come let my pups out while I was away in Rhode Island for a wedding. She was super communicative, very punctual and incredible communicator while she was with the pups midday. I appreciate her sending a thorough update and taking them out multiple times to go to the bathroom. I would love to have Jasmine back.
I couldn’t be happier with Nathan as our puppy sitter! He took such wonderful care of our puppy and gave him so much attention and patience. It was clear that he genuinely cared about him. Nathan was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated throughout his sessions, which gave me complete peace of mind. I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone to trust with my puppy and would highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and wonderful pet sitter or dog walker.

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 .

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 .
