“Haowen and his girlfriend Yi were wonderful, caring, and very responsible sitters for our cat Yokii. My husband and I were quite anxious at first because this was our first time being away for such a long trip, and we were worried that our cat might have trouble adjusting or feel stressed. However, Haowen and Yi took such great care of him and gave us so much peace of mind. They always checked in on time, followed all of our instructions carefully, and helped our cat maintain his daily routine as much as possible while we were away. They were also very responsive and easy to communicate with whenever anything came up, which we really appreciated! On top of that, they took so many adorable photos and videos of our cat during each visit, which made us feel much more connected to him during our trip. Overall, we are extremely happy that our cat was so well cared for and that he got along so well with both of them. We (and Yokii) would absolutely feel comfortable and confident asking Haowen and Yi to take care of Yokii again the next time we travel. Big thanks again for everything!!”

“Liz is incredible and did an amazing job with our wiggly puppy! I loved that she had us do a meet and greet as well during which she took time to get to know Maisel and took notes on her care. Liz clearly takes this job seriously and cares deeply about the animals she is caring for.”
“Solaima visited my three cats 3 times while I was out of town for the weekend and did a great job communicating with me how they were doing for each meal. She let me know that one of the more introverted cats adored her upon first meeting, and that made me so happy! Solaima was respectful of my space and updated me promptly after every visit. I definitely would reach out to her again - I highly recommend booking with Solaima!”
“annaliese did an excellent job taking care of our sweet but shy cat, she quickly gained his trust which is not always easy to do. she always responded to my messages quickly. we will definitely hire her again 😻”
“Melissa was super helpful checking in on our cat, Chicky! We ended up making Thanksgiving plans closer to the actual holiday, and had to book a Rover on shorter notice than usual. Melissa was super responsive when we initially reached out, and communicative throughout our trip. She was very thoughtful when thinking of ways to help make Chicky less lonely while we were away. We highly recommend Melissa! 😊”
“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.”
“Rachael has been amazing taking care and watching over Stella and Luna while I have a family emergency. She was able to be booked last minute and communicate with me everything going on.”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Chelsea is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Had my first drop in with Emily and she was so reassuring! She sent me pictures and updates during the drop in and was very in tune with my dog’s temperament. She genuinely cares about you and your dog!! If you are looking for someone to trust your dog with, Emily is the person!
Annaliese was incredibly thoughtful, caring, and attentive to my kitten. I truly could not have asked for a better pet sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure that Skippito was happy, comfortable, and loved. In addition, she was very communicative and kept me in the loop with how my little guy was doing the entire duration of my trip away.
I can’t say enough good about Yu. She was so sweet with our kitty, spent lots of quality time with her while we were gone, and sent us so many wonderful videos and photos! I would absolutely hire her again. She was extremely flexible and understanding as my schedule kept changing. 10/10 recommend!
We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! From the moment we met at the meet and greet, it was clear that our cat was in caring, capable, and experienced hands. Not only did Jenin provide lots of love, attention, and regular updates while we were away, but she also confidently administered our cat's insulin injections twice a day with great care and professionalism. Knowing that our diabetic cat was receiving the correct medication on schedule gave us complete peace of mind, which is priceless when you're away from home. We have already booked Jenin for our next vacation, knowing that our cat will be very well cared for while we are away.
Jessica was a wonderful cat sitter, very kind and communicative. She went above and beyond, often staying later than needed and I came home to a very happy and well groomed cat. She even washed his dishes…totally not needed but so appreciated. I would definitely book with her again!
Elisa was absolutely wonderful, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She came to our rescue at the very last minute while we were out of the country, and she went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly patient, compassionate, and attentive with all three of our cats. She took the time to understand each of their personalities and made sure each one received the care they needed. Our newest kitten, Sally, was recovering from a medical issue and required daily oral medication, and Elisa handled a very challenging situation with remarkable calm, professionalism, and kindness. It was immediately clear that she has extensive experience with animals and is exceptionally knowledgeable about feline behavior. Knowing our cats were in her care gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were thousands of miles away. Elisa was also an excellent communicator, keeping us updated throughout every visit and making us feel connected despite the distance. We are so grateful that she was willing to help us on such short notice, and we truly don’t know what we would have done without her. I recommend Elisa 100% and would trust her with our cats again without hesitation. She is an outstanding pet sitter.
Daniela always takes good care of my two cats when I’m out of town. She’s on time and attentive to the instructions I provided in advance. Also, she ends her visit by providing detailed updates of how cats were doing during her visit and sends out cute pictures of them which helps me feel reassured that they are in good hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Chelsea on Rover is $29.6 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 10,509 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
