“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. :)”
“Melissa did some drop ins on our cats over Christmas week and it was a huge relief knowing we didn’t have to worry about them while we were gone. She cleaned the litter boxes, fed both of them, and gave one their daily medication. I would definitely book her again! Thank you Melissa!”
About: Hello! My name is Brittany and I would love to help you out with your loyal companion. I have a husky of my own and we love to be outside hiking and exploring. I am comfortable with dogs of any shape and size. If you’re looking for someone to give your fur friend a little exercise, or to just hang out, I am your girl! I live in an area with multiple dog parks, open areas for your dog to run or relax and bodies of water if your dog loves to swim! I am always open to suggestions and love learning about new dogs and breeds. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, I would love to hear them! Thank you so much for considering me to help out with your lovable fur family member! I currently work full time throughout the week so weekends are my free time to explore the city and help take care of your furry friend! I have a few fenced in dog areas and my own furry friend to keep yours company. I am willing to crate your dog if needed and am also willing to work with you to keep your dog comfortable!

About: I have experience with puppies and mature dogs; specifically, but not limited to breeds such as pit bulls, shitzus, and dachshunds. I am gentle, kind, caring, and patient; attentive to the needs of animals and the routines set by their owners. I am currently unemployed so I am available at all times. I work freelance as an artist from my home studio, so I can be as flexible and responsive to pre-existing routines. I live alone with no pets in a pet friendly apartment complex near a public park, a dog park, and near Logan Airport. I understand that routine and crating is crucial for maintaining an animal's safety and comfort, so I have no issue complying with such requests.
“Jennifer was amazing caregiving for our senior, anxious pup and we're so grateful for her! She's very flexible, dependable, a clear communicator, and most of all so loving and understanding. Our pup has a lot of extra needs (medicine, a poor bladder, separation anxiety) and Jennifer handled all of it wonderfully. We'd absolutely recommend her!”
About: I’m the guy in a crowd your dog will want to meet. I grew up with dogs and want them to feel as comfortable with me as they are at home with you. I’m available most days and times, and with sufficient notice and proximity, can be flexible for your pet care needs. Overnight and boarding is negotiable. I live in a dog-friendly community with a park across the street. No other pets live in my home, so your fur baby will feel safe and secure. Your pet will get a playdate and exercise during our visit with me.
About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was a little girl. I grew up with 3 cats, but I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, big or small. I’m a reliable and attentive person who will always pay close attention to your pet’s needs. My goal is to give your pet the most comfortable experience possible, whether that means playtime, feeding, or simply helping them stay calm and cared for. I always want to provide a safe, loving, and positive experience for every pet. I am currently working part time, which allows me to have more than enough time to spend with your pet! I'm very lenient when it comes to timing so if anything comes up, I'll be very understanding and try to work things out with you! I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes if needed, and get attention and playtime based on their personality. I always follow any specific instructions from the owner and keep a calm, clean, and safe environment.
“Emily is amazing and truly loved pups. I truly felt so safe having her there and in our home! I’m definitely excited to work with her in the future and I’m super grateful for her.”

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
Chelsea dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mariana was so wonderful! We had a last minute notice on a trip, and she was available and responded within minutes. Very communicative, lots of pictures and check ins sent. Our dog Rusty loved her! She made sure to ask any questions on any information that was left out as well. We definitely will be rebooking in the future!!
Arianna was amazing! Her responses were timely and professional. She kept me updated on when she was stopping by to take out my pug Winnie, and she sent photos of her on walks, eating, and playing. It was great to know she was in good hands! I would certainly rebook with her again!
Emily is absolutely AMAZING!!! She is incredibly thorough, caring, and she went above and beyond for my two “kids” while I was away. She was very knowledgeable and understanding of their different needs (one high energy, one older/calmer). The best feeling is knowing your pets are well cared for and comfortable, and Emily provides that & more! ☺️
Rita has been helping to care for our 3 month old puppy for the past few weeks and has been wonderful!! She is very thorough with the care she provides and with the updates she gives us during each visit, is very experienced and professional, and has even changed her schedule a few times to accommodate last minute needs! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
Svetlana was super responsive when our original sitter had to cancel. She was very easy to work with, arrived exactly on time, was very easy going, and our puppy Rory immediately took to her. She even was understanding when we came back a little later than anticipated due to a show running late. She sent adorable pictures and updates and put us at ease.
