About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, as my family has always had them. I love playing with dogs, taking them for walks, and helping them enjoy a beautiful day outdoors. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, playtime, and giving your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I will keep your dog safe by following your instructions, using a secure leash, staying aware of our surroundings, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection.
About: Love the fluffy babies and I have trained many with basic commands. If there's anything you need, I'm at your service! Please ask questions and I'll be happy to answer. I work full-time, but I have flexibility with my schedule. I get to wfh twice a week and this allows me to be reliable for drop-ins and walks throughout the week. The more details I know about your pet and their quirks, the easier it is for me to take care of them. Creating an environment of trust while you're away is my top priority. I enjoy sending pictures to pet owners whenever they're away so they feel a sense of security while their baby is in good hands.
“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!”
About: I’ve had animals of all kind my entire life, from guinea pigs to pugs to rescue mixes, and everything in between. I’ve worked as a professional dog walker caring for up to 8 dogs at a time. I take great pride in treating all of the animals like my own! My goal is to work in pet care full time! I’m available Monday through Friday, any time between 8am and 5pm. I am also available on weekends if communicated in advance. I tailor my care to each pets individual routine to maintain consistency and minimize their stress. I am comfortable greeting dogs who have free rein of their home or dogs who are crated during the day. I would love to take your pet for walks, to play in a nearby park or yard, or just stop in for potty and snack breaks - whatever they need!
“Solaima was so fabulous!! She was great at keeping me updated while I was on vacation, and my dog and cat loved her!! She went above and beyond for the animals and communication! I would recommend her to anyone❤️❤️”

“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!”
“Ingrid was a huge help with our puppy, Bubba. She was available to watch him extremely last minute and even squeezed in a quick meet and greet in the AM! 10/10 stars. Thanks Ingrid 😀”
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and genuine care I bring to every pet. With 20 years of hands on experience, I understand that animals have individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I take time to earn their trust, notice the little things, and make them feel safe while their family is away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of love and attention, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is being treated like family. My flexible schedule allows me to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, feeding, playtime, check ins, and companionship. I’ll work with you to follow the schedule your pet already knows and feels comfortable with. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, walking routines, house rules, and special care requests. I keep doors and leashes secure, pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Serena is an excellent cat sitter who was willing to accommodate a last minute booking. She is very detailed in her updates on each session and was even willing to scoop litter and take out trash before we returned. She just clearly loves hanging out with cats and our boy loved his time with her. Highly recommend!
Jing is extremely patient and attentive! She took so many adorable photos during the stay. My cats were a bit shy at first, but Jing was super patient and gave them all the gentle companionship they needed to feel comfortable. Communication with her was smooth and clear, and she was very flexible with our schedule. I highly recommend Jing to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!
Gloria is so wonderful with Draco! It’s clear how much she genuinely loves and cares about him, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing he’s in such good hands while I’m away. I love getting her updates and photos and seeing how happy he is with her. We’re always so grateful for the care and attention she gives him!
Denise took care of my cat Néko right at home while I was away, and she was absolutely wonderful! 🐈⬛❤️ I loved getting regular updates and adorable photo check-ins! It gave me total peace of mind the entire time! Coming home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for kitty meant everything. 🏠✨ Thank you so much, Denise, for your kindness and amazing care! I will definitely be booking with her again in a heartbeat! 🙌🎉
Liz is an amazing sitter! She looked after my cat while I was on vacation and did an excellent job! My cat usually takes a long while to feel comfortable with new people, but within only a couple visits she quickly opened up to Liz! Liz was very attentive in following care instructions. She provided detailed updates and photos for each visit. Highly recommend her services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Chelsea on Rover is $29.96 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 10,372 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.
