“Arianna was truly remarkable. She kept us informed on a daily basis with photos and made us feel at ease. We knew our three cats Miss Cleo, Gracie and Hedy were in good hands. Her love for our cats really made us so happy and for this we are truly grateful. Arianna is a treasure.”
About: Hi there, call me Ren! I understand how hard it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I go out of my way to make sure that you have live updates in the form of photos and texts to relieve that anxiety. Having your pet feel comfortable and having their needs met is the bare minimum. My motto is that it's the details that matter, so every single ask that you have is very important to me. I make sure to adhere to their feeding and walking schedules, provide enrichment, and, most importantly, cuddles. Your fur baby is a member of your family and deserves to be treated as such with respect to their boundaries, habits, and comfort. I am a full-time artist, so I have a very flexible schedule. Please contact me if you are interested! I am a full-time artist, which allows me the flexibility to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether it's taking breaks for playtime, ensuring regular feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship throughout the day, I prioritize the well-being of your pets. With the advantage of being present at home, I can offer consistent attention and care, making sure your furry family feels loved and attended to at all times. Depending on the service provided, I offer tailored services at my client's residence. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment where they can feel at ease. This includes designated play times with enrichment and mental stimulation, and adherence to their regular feeding and exercise routines. I will make sure to pay attention to even the smallest details you have for your pet because they deserve to be treated like family.
“Nancy was on time, reliable, and kept great communication. She gave my pup special attention, followed all instructions, and even went out of her way to keep them relaxed and feeling safe.”
“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.”
“Was able to come a check in on my baby last minute before the storm! I got stuck out of the country and was not going to be home when I thought and she made sure he was okay. Thank you so much. A life saver!”
“Jake did such an amazing job caring for my dog and cats, I have never seen them as happy as they were with him in any other Rover card. His communication is great and I will definitely be utilizing his services again in the future;”
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.
“Vee was lovely to work with from start to finish. She took wonderful care of Louis and was so sweet and attentive with him, spending time playing with him and giving him lots of cuddles. It was clear he was comfortable and happy with her, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily have Vee care for him again and would definitely recommend her!”
“Tracy was an amazing sitter for my two cats. One of my cats is very shy and she was able to make her comfortable to come out and play! She was very communicative leading up to, and during, the sitting. She took/sent lots of great photos and videos. I already have her booked again for my next travel”
“Brittany was so wonderful to work with! She took care of my cat for a weekend and sent a thoughtful update after each visit. I'm so grateful and would definitely choose her again!”
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.
“Emily was extremely responsive and reassuring! She accommodated my super last minute request for cat care and was easy to communicate with. Thank you for everything and can’t wait to book with Emily again!”
“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!”
“Caitlyn was amazing! She was great with my dog and even brought him a new toy and a bag of treats! Caitlyn also helped me out last minute when a delayed flight caused my dog to be home alone longer than expected. I would HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely book her again in the future!”
About: Hi there! I am a responsible and reliable pet lover who currently has a chihuahua mix! In addition to my dog, I grew up caring for a golden retriever, husky and mini dachshund so I have experience with many different breeds. I also grew up with 2 cats! Would love to care for your pets with the same care and attention that I've shown my own! Thank you so much for your consideration and I am looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your wonderful pet very soon! I am working remotely 3 days a week so I am available for walks or drop-ins during those days! Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are my work from home days! I am a very safe dog-walker! I will make sure your dogs do not interact with dogs they don't know while on our walks so they stay safe! I will make sure to clean up after them! I am very reliable and will 100% follow any pet care instructions you give/will ask for clarification when needed!
“Kyle took amazing care of our cat while we were away. Our reserved kitty warmed up to Kyle immediately and Kyle was extremely warm and responsible. We would be happy for Kyle to watch our pets again soon!”
“Sabrina was wonderful! She was communicative and she took great care of my cats. She even snapped some mini Polaroid pictures of them which she left for me with a lovely note. I will definitely book Sabrina again.”

Lily did a great job watching my cat, Bogey! She writes very detailed notes, sends lots of pictures and follows instructions to a T! She even went the extra mile watering my plant that she saw looked wilted and took out the trash. I can rest easy on vacation when I know Bogey is in Lily’s care! Thank you so much!
Could not speak more highly of Jenin!! She is incredibly thoughtful, empathetic, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Her notes were fun to read but also provided the essential information to know that my cat was safe, healthy and happy. Lots of photos were appreciated! Would definitely recommend Jenin 10x over!
Chassity took amazing care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was great with both cats, followed our instructions to a t, and kept us consistently updated with photos and the rover card for every visit. It allowed us to enjoy our vacation more knowing that Louie and Vuitton were well taken care of.
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 Pet Sitting in Chelsea is $29 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 10,327 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
