Terry was amazing! She house sat and cared for our 2 Boston Terriers and our Maine Coon cat. I highly recommend her and have full confidence in her. Our pets immediately trusted her and she built a connection with them. Terry sent us videos and texts of our pets and goes the extra mile by washing the bed linens and maintaining cleanliness. everything clean. Thank you Terry from our hearts and will definitely request your services again in the future.

We had a wonderful experience with Sabrina. She took great care of our dogs while we were away for the week and sent daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pups were happy, well cared for, and loved while we were gone. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing care from Matt (and Jenni’s team)! Matt was incredible with our dogs—very engaged, friendly, and professional. We received timely photo updates at all the key moments of the day, and it was clear the dogs were happy and relaxed, like we never left! Everything was neat and tidy when we returned. We highly recommend the wonderful team of Jenni & Matt for anyone looking for truly attentive and caring pet sitters.

Joining in on all the great reviews for Heather. She stayed with our two pups for two weeks while we were on vacation. Her care for our dogs allowed us to relax and not worry about home. It's a bonus to have someone who will do overnights and be a house sitter as well. Thank you Heather, so much!

We were very pleased having Chris here at our home to watch our Corgi Mickey. Mickey wasn’t feeling his best and Chris kept us well informed and sent photos of Mickey to reassure us that all was well. We plan to have her come again the next time we need to go out for a long period of time. Chris was awesome!

Dylan did a great job with our dog. It was a last minute booking, and Dylan really saved the day. He was accommodating, great with communication, and did a great job introducing himself to our pup (our dog is actually 12 years old and has a lot of separation anxiety). Dylan also sent us a number of photos while he was watching our dod to let us know he was doing great. We highly recommend Dylan.

Courtney watched our girl while we got away for a holiday weekend trip with our grandkids. Whole we were away it snowed 6 inches! We were surprised to arrive home not only to an orderly home and Happy dog, but to a fully cleared driveway that Courtney has shoveled by hand! During her time with our epileptic dog, Courtney made sure that all her meds were given on time and she made mental notes about her neurological state, which she conveyed to us when we arrived home. Our weekend was much more relaxing knowing that Courtney was there to handle any medical emergency (thankfully there weren't any).

FAQs for House Sitting - Chelsea Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 3,610 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chelsea Estates. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Chelsea Estates walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Chelsea Estates maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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 Estates 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!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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

  • 92% 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.
