“Kayla was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was fabulous. The daily pictures made myself and my family so happy. She’s reliable and so nice. She even went out of her way to take our trash cans down when she noticed it was trash day in the neighborhood. I felt completely at ease with her taking care of our babies. Thank you so much!”

About: Growing up we always had pups in our home. It’s what makes home, home! Through out the years I have gained tons of experience with dogs since I have raised many since they were just puppies. I am capable in potty training them both on the pee pee pad and outside. I enjoy exercise so your pup will get lots of it! We will go on long morning walks, play and relax together. Your dog is in good hand with me, I promise to care for your dog like they are my own. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby I work a M-F 9-5. Long walks in the morning and play time in the evenings. I will be there the rest of the time. I can drop in mid day as well for a walk if needed. Can also bring the dog to work if allowed. Your home is your dogs home and I will treat it as such. I will respect your space and privacy and just use common areas and provide you with updates constantly to ensure you your pup is in good hands.

About: Animals are basically part of my DNA. I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was a child, and I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also been riding and caring for horses my entire life, which means I’m very comfortable with responsibility, routines, and understanding animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to seniors who need a calmer pace and extra TLC. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, so pets are never left alone and are part of my daily routine. My home sits on 3 acres of private property surrounded by a state park, which means lots of space for play and long walks or hikes. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I care for pets by treating them like part of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of supervised exercise, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that means extra activity for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency with puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Ive taken care of dogs for basically my whole life. I grew up with many pets since I was a child. This includes dogs, cats, and birds. I am very reliable and have no problem caring for pets. I’m currently not working at the moment. So I’m available full time to care for any pet. My schedule is very flexible so I have more than enough time to bond with your pets. I have a spacious fenced backyard and live in a very good neighborhood where I can safely take your pet on walks. I also like to spend my free time in nature at parks and would love to spend time there with your pet as well.

About: Aside from growing up caring for animals, I’ve worked at a dog daycare for about a year. During my time there I learned a lot about dog behavior and how to read their body language. Now, I am currently studying canine training and management at SUNY Cobleskill where I work with a variety of canine’s daily. So I am currently on summer break from school, so I can assure you I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I start my day off by making sure my babies are fed and have fresh water, followed by going out for a walk and playing outside for a little! I have a dog and a cat who is very shy. If needed I have a crate that can be used.

About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind, so my goal is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m calm, attentive, and great at sticking to routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I provide a safe, loving environment they can relax in. I currently am a student from home so I have more than enough time to take care of your furry companion while you are away. I used to walk my dog around my neighborhood sometimes to the river If it’s really nice out just get her some fresh air. Proper feeding times and bathroom breaks.

About: I grew up in Oklahoma on 90 acres with cows, horses, cats, and dogs. I've always had a passion for animals and the outdoors. One of the unique experiences I offer is adventure outings for your pup. Living near the beach allows me to provide refreshing beach walks, and as an avid hiker, I also enjoy taking dogs on scenic trail adventures where they can safely explore and enjoy nature. I currently have two dogs of my own—a Miniature Dachshund and a German Shepherd mix we rescued. If your dog would benefit from a positive, supervised social outing, I’m happy to provide that as well. Growing up, I regularly cared for and walked neighbors’ and family members’ pets, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. My goal is to give you peace of mind while your pet has a fun, enriching experience. You can rest assured that your furry family members will be cared for and loved as if they were my own. As a full-time dog dad to my two pups, I maintain a flexible schedule and am readily available to help ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a quick neighborhood walk for exercise or an extended stay with a pet who needs a little extra companionship, I’m here to provide dependable, attentive care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and fully cared for. I am committed to providing a high level of personalized care and attention to every client. I ensure that when you book a walk or service with me, your pets receive my full, undivided focus. This dedicated one-on-one time allows me to tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. I also have a spacious SUV available for safe transportation if needed. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I offer nature hikes as an additional service, giving them the opportunity to explore and exercise in a safe, supervised environment. Feel free to send me a message with what you’re looking for, and I’ll respond as soon as possible. I look forward to connecting with you and your pets!

About: I’ve grown up with a labrador retriever who quickly became my live-in best bud! I’ve adored animals ever since. I’ve helped neighbors/friends watch over their dogs/cats and homes, short-term and extended periods of time, either stopping by throughout the day to care for the pet or living in the home while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for an elderly and newly blind dog, and understand each pet has specific needs and care, plus consistency in routine is important when their owners are away from them. I am currently looking for a full/part-time job and am in between jobs right now, so I have a lot of time flexibility in a day-to-day while I am job searching. I care for others pets the same way I’d care for my dog, Mackie. Plenty of quality time, walks and meals based on their usually routine, playtime outside in the mornings and/or afternoon.

About: Hey there! My name is Angie! I’ve taken care of dogs for 7 years. I have a Standard F1B goldendoodle who is 4 years old, a Mini F1BB goldendoodle who is 3 years old and a Newfoundland who is 8 months old! I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I’m currently a nanny for a 2 year old baby. My schedule varies weekly so i do have alot of time on my hands throughout the week. I am available almost every weekend as well! I prefer sitting at clients home, with that being said i will be attentive outside and inside. I will make sure dogs are safe outside whether there’s a fence or just making sure they are safe and away from the road. I also would make sure they will not wonder off, attentive is my #1 priority. Making sure their safe in their home and not being mischievous is also a big priority for me and your furry babies!

Very good. Kasey came , did exactly what I needed her to do and got the job done. With an elderly dog at home it’s not always an easy road anymore; it’s a difficult situation to handle at times. Glad I could count on her.

Emily showed us not only how much she cares for our boy Odin, but also that she is rooted in years of experience! Odin is a bit barky to new people and Emily was able to handle the situation with grace - so much so, that she had him at her feet at the end of the visit! She is prompt in all her communication. And being so kind to our whole family was so very appreciated. I would recommend Emily to any dog parent wanting whole, compassionate, and reliable care. 10/10 will definitely book again!!!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Chelsea

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Chelsea is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $36 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 1,780 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Chelsea choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Chelsea with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chelsea. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
