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.
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.
“Haowen is THE BEST - really happy he agreed to take care of Annie. He was sensitive, communicative and knew how to take great care of our dog and get her to warm up. Cannot recommend him more.”

“We're so happy to have connected with Emily not only because the cat likes her and does well spending time with her, but she's such a pleasure to work with--responsive, reliable and very conscientious, kitty-focused and attentive to detail. We found a great fit!”

“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.”

About: I've lived with pets of all shapes and sizes my entire life. When I was a newborn, my family had 10+ pets at home, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles, and I haven't really known life without animals since! I love ALL animals, but I have the most experience in caring for dogs. I’ve had all kinds of breeds over the years, including Mini Australian Shepherds, Great Danes with special needs, Pit Bulls and all kinds of rescued mixed. We also fostered litters of puppies and senior pets growing up, so even though it has been a while, I have plenty of experience caring for animals of all age groups. Growing up with so many pets has given me lots of hands-on experience with everything pet-care, including walking, bathing, basic training, cleaning up some serious messes, and, of course, never ending cuddles. While I haven't had a lot of formal pet-care experience, caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I've also volunteered at animal shelters, where I've walked, cuddled, and cleaned up after many dogs and cats. I'm the kind of person that asks every owner I see in public if I can pet their dog, regardless of the company I'm in and the places I have to be. Even when they shouldn't be, animals are my main priority, and yours will be too! I have a very flexible schedule as a current Master's student. At the moment, I also work at a pet store in East Boston a few days a week. My shifts are only a few hours at a time, so the longest I would be gone from your pet is around 4 hours (unless there are special circumstances and in that case I will be very up front with you ahead of time!!). I'm also more than happy to spend time with your pets on the weekends :) If I'm pet sitting at your home, I'll do my best to spend as much time with your pet as possible throughout the day while balancing my classes, work, and other clients. I'll also make sure not to leave your pet alone for longer than necessary and will always do my best to be home before dark. I'll send plenty of puppy updates, pictures, and videos so you can see that your baby is happy and in good hands! I'm also very flexible and will do my best to keep your pet's normal routine and schedule as consistent as possible while you're away.
“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!”

“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.”

“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!”


About: I’ve dog sat for family friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. I’ve done both dog walking, day sitting, as well as overnight sitting. Dog breeds that I have worked with are GSPs, golden retrievers, labs, rottweilers, beagles, huskies, dachshunds, etc. I’m currently in school for nursing so my schedule can be a little sporadic but I want to be able to spend some time with fur babies on my free time! In my past experiences, I have worked with dogs that aren’t the biggest fan of strangers or other dogs so working with this (walking on the other side of the road, avoiding strangers, etc) is feasible.
“Tawana took amazing care of my senior cat with health issues and navigated the various medications like an absolute pro. I am looking forward to working with her again.”

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: As an experienced pet-owner and dog walker, I understand the different needs of a variety of dogs. From taking care of my German Shepherds, Pitt/Boxer mix and Jug (Jack Russell Terrier/Pug), I have learned to read the body language of dogs and can cater to their specific needs. As a sitter, I will ensure your dog receives ample attention and exercise, and is comfortable in a new environment. I have experience boarding in the past, and understand the responsibility of having someone’s pet in my care. I will treat your pet as if it’s my own! As a walker, I will adventure with your pooch, giving them the appropriate amount of movement and fresh air they need to stay happy until their parent(s) return. My apartment is pet-friendly and kept clean for optimal safety and comfort. I am currently in between jobs so am very flexible and can cater to your needs. I have a car and can travel as well. I treat all clients homes with respect and am observant of my surroundings. We can go over any ground rules together beforehand to ensure clear communication.
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
“Amber has only spent two days with my pup and I can already tell they are going to be friends! He’s happy and lively when I come home so I know he is getting a lot out of her visits!”


About: I’m patient and caring with animals and really enjoy spending time with pets. I currently work from home, so I’m home most of the day and can give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and a consistent routine. Last year, my own Chinchilla cat had kittens, and I cared for them from birth until they were old enough to leave their mother and go to their new homes, so I also have hands-on experience with feeding, cleaning, and watching over newborn kittens. I previously had a teacup Toy Poodle, and I also had a Toy Poodle who lived to 14, so I have experience caring for pets at different stages of life. I’ve also helped friends care for their Goldendoodle, Shelties, Corgis, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors, so I have experience with these breeds as well. I currently have a male blue bicolor Ragdoll. I’m reliable, gentle, and happy to follow each pet’s usual schedule so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My day is flexible since I work from home, so I follow the pet’s routine. Morning: breakfast, fresh water, potty break or litter check, and a little playtime. Midday: another walk/potty break or play session, plus food, water, and litter check. Afternoon: I’m home working, so pets can rest nearby and get company. Evening: dinner, walk/playtime, cleanup, and quiet time. Before bed: final potty break or litter check, fresh water, and a calm routine. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and send updates/photos. In my home, I keep pets in a safe, calm space, follow their usual feeding and potty routine, give them plenty of playtime and company, and make sure they have fresh water and a clean litter box. In a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep their routine the same, feed/water them, clean litter or pick up after dogs, take dogs out for walks and potty breaks, and spend time playing with them. I always respect the home, keep things clean, and send updates and photos so the owner knows their pet is doing well.
About: Ever since I can remember a dog has always been part of my life. Growing up, my parents fostered many dogs and cats before they were adopted so I have plenty of experience with all different breeds, ages and personalities. I love the outdoors and animals, so dog walking is a perfect match for me. We are a family of 3 ( including our 4 year old son) who loves animals and is also super gentle with them. My husband and I are both home from Friday to Sunday all day . Mondays to Thursdays we alternate as I work an afternoon shift and he works mornings. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of toys for dogs to play. I can provide a safe and comfortable crate for your pets to sleep .There are plenty of green spaces where I live to so your pet won’t be bored.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Ashley was so great with my kitty! She was so kind and went above and beyond . She was very communicative and kept me in the loop with when she was planning on visiting each day. I felt very at ease during my time away , and came back to a happy and healthy kitty. Would 100% recommend!!

Rebecca is wonderful! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I always feel completely comfortable knowing my cat is in her care. She takes the time to give her attention and affection, and I really appreciate the updates and photos while I’m away. I would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Aurora is a kind person, great communicator, and dilligent petsitter. She takes excellent care of my cat. She follows care instructions carefully and sends status updates and pictures of her visits. She's made a big effort right from the beginning to befriend my shy cat and make him feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend hiring Aurora.

Elizabeth was wonderful with our aging girly. Our cat is older and needs some special attention and care when we’re out of town. Elizabeth was so helpful and went above and beyond for her. She gave detailed updates of her visits along with pictures. All of which gave us much peace of mind that our sweet girl was doing well in our absence.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Chelsea is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $48 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 November 2026, there are 10,233 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 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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
