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.
“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.”
“Szu yu was very communicative and so so caring for my cats. I appreciate her letting me know they were doing alright and sent lots of photos. Reliable, and on time. I highly recommend Szu yu.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m very attentive, patient, and caring, and I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care when needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and do my best to accommodate different times throughout the week. I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll pay attention to feeding instructions, water, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications if needed, and any special notes

“Rebecca is amazing! She dropped by last minute and took great care of my 65lb Cattle dog, 15lb Jack Russell, 8lb Terrier mix and 4lb Chihuahua! A huge variety of dogs and she did a great job with all!!! I've already scheduled my next pet sitting appointment with her! Would recommend her to all my family and friends.”
About: I grew up with a Maltese who I took care of since he was 2 months old until he passed away in 2020. Apart from this, I am also my friends go to cat sitter and love both cats and dogs and know how important it is for their owners to know they are being cared for. I currently work full time Monday-Friday so most of my services will be available over the weekend. As summer nears my schedule will open up to every day of the week. My number one priority is to make sure your pet is safe. This means I will be extra attentive during walks and any other services I am providing.
About: As a proud pet owner of a 13-year-old Bichon Frise, I understand the love, patience, and responsibility that come with caring for animals. I care deeply about pets and treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while in my care. I am currently working full-time so I can care for your pets on the weekends! I will be fully available in two weeks to care for pets during weekdays too. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions.
“Tracy did a great job taking care of my kitties over the holiday. Her communication was fantastic and she always cleans up after herself (my apartment looks better than when I left it)! She is thorough when it comes to knowing everything your pet may need and you can tell that she really treats your pets as if they were her own! Would highly recommend her and plan to use her services in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Jenna was absolutely wonderful!! We had our cats separate because of some new onset behavioral issues and were hesitant to leave them, and she handled everything better than we could have asked for, on top of that with a positive attitude at all times. She was communicative when she had questions and very thoughtful and intentional, and left hilarious daily updates and pics. By the end of the week I stopped worrying about the cats because I knew they were in great hands. Jenna is very respectful and responsible and I would trust her to handle anything. She left our spaces clean, followed any instructions well, and went above and beyond to clean up after our cats even outside of the norm (one threw up one day and she cleaned it without hesitation). It was clear our cats warmed up to her quickly. We can only hope she’s available the next time we go out of town!!
Having someone experienced with giving cats inhalers was the most important thing, and Liz handled it perfectly. This was by far the easiest time leaving the cats alone for me: I trusted Liz completely. Super caring and devoted to making sure our cats had the best time.
Emma was great to work with and cared for our cat as if she was her own while we were away for a few days. She was super flexible when we asked to change one of the drop-in times, so it was nice to know that my cat was able to stick to a good meal schedule. Will gladly have Emma cat-sit for us again!

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.
