“Ria was an amazing sitter for us when we left for an international trip for our cat Lily. She takes so many adorable photos and videos that we loved watching while we were away. She was incredibly descriptive with her check-ins and was great with Lily and making sure she checked with us about her feeding habits etc to make sure what was normal for her. We’re so lucky to have found her as we just recently moved to the area and needed a new cat sitter- thanks so much Ria!”

About: Hello! I am a stay at home mom with a 1 year old and a 3 year old who is looking to help out dog sitting while I pause my nursing career. I have a 1.5 year old yellow lab named Callie who is a sweetheart and loves to play with other dogs. Both kids are very respectful of dogs since they both have a lot of experience with ours. I look forward to meeting your dog or cat-happy to give references and chat! The first half of my photos are all dogs I dogsat through Rover and some of my own dogs! I am currently a stay at home mom with a 1 and 3 year old so I have a lot of flexibility. We spend a lot of time outside which would include any dog we are sitting for. We have a large yard and our home is dog proof (mainly due to having a baby hah). I treat every dog like it’s part of the family-he or she is allowed to come on the bed, couch, etc.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and grew up caring for everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, reptiles, chickens, and goats! I also volunteer at an animal shelter, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I started pet sitting after losing one of my soul cats as a way to heal while doing something I truly love. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, so this is more than just a job to me. My goal is simple: to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved like one of my own. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and love having furry company while I work! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I try to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions while providing plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and outdoor time based on their individual needs. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. My goal is always to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: My love for dogs started at the age of 7. Ever since then, I'm always looking for dogs from neighbors, friends, family, parents co-workers etc..., to do drop-in visits, dog walks, and to play with them and nurture them in general! I also picked up a great handful of tricks on how to train and make a puppy obientant from the classes I took my puppy to for training. When I got my second pup, I've used the knowledge that I learned when I took my first puppy to training and it worked out fantastically! I'm currently an online student and flexible, so I would love to nurture your pets and to play with them! I'm available on weekends and weekdays for drop-in visits and dog walking, and if the service you were looking for isn’t listed, message me and guarantee I will best accommodate to it:) I have a fenced backyard and a great amount of space for your fur babies to play in. Along with toys they can engage in and have fun with and blankets for naps, so they never get bored and are always happy and entertained:) I also make sure to take them on their daily walks to keep them in shape and healthy.

About: Hi, I’m Jay! If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets as much as you do, you’ve come to the right place. Animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and everything in between, and I truly believe every pet deserves personalized care, lots of love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a cuddle buddy, playtime, meals, medication, a bath, or just someone patient and dependable while you’re away, I’m here to help! Long haired pups or kitties that hate being brushed? No problemo! I’m happy to tackle the fluff so you don’t have to. 😊 One thing that sets me apart is that I’m constantly learning. I love researching animal behavior, enrichment, nutrition, and the best ways to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours feel safe and comfortable. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your best friend with someone else, so I’ll care for your baby like they’re my own. You can expect plenty of updates, adorable photos, and the peace of mind that your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your bestie! 🤍 Caring for pets has always been part of my daily routine. I attend college so I’m able to give your babies attention, care, and playtime before class, in between, and during study time! I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with my own cats and making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and cared for. I only accept bookings that fit my schedule so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make the experience easy for both you and your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll send lots of updates and pictures (because I know I’d want them too!) so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind. Whether your pet is super energetic, a little shy, or just wants someone to hang out with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very detail oriented and always pay attention to things like securely closing doors and gates, keeping dogs safely leashed on walks, and making sure your pet is happy and comfortable. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and feel confident that they were treated like family while you were away.

“Sarah is a very responsible and professional caretaker who truly cares about animals. She took the time before our trip to come over and meet the cats and asked about their individual needs. We felt comfortable about leaving them with her and having her take care of them in their specific way - fed them separately and so forth. She was also very good about staying in touch and making sure things go well.”

About: Please read my availability before booking :) Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both dogs and cats, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers for years, and I truly enjoy caring for animals like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, walks, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. You can trust that I’ll provide the best care possible and treat your furry family members with the same attention and affection I’d give my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I currently work in a medical office Tuesday-Friday 7:30am-5pm. Though I am able to house sit these days, I am unable to let them out during the day while I am at work. Saturday-Monday I am free to give all my attention to your pets! I am very energetic, just like your pups. I love to walk with or without a dog. If I am pet sitting, I am very good at sticking to directions so I can care for your animals exactly how you want them to be cared for while throwing in a couple extra play times!

About: Hi! I’ve loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Being around animals has always felt natural to me — their energy, personalities, and unconditional love are something I truly connect with. I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort, I’m experienced in providing safe, attentive, and loving care. My daily responsibilities include supervised group play, feeding routines, cleaning and sanitizing, monitoring behavior, and helping pets feel comfortable while away from home. Working in this environment has taught me how to read body language, manage multiple dogs safely, and respond calmly in any situation. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I genuinely love what I do — I’ve always been the kind of person who picks animals over people! Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me; it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday. Just send me a message and I will most definitely find you time to fit you in I am very flexible I have a fenced in yard, lots of treats toys and bones, access to inside. Crate friendly if needed, or wanted. Very safe, cozy, warm, entertainable home

“Tayna was amazing with our three month old pup, Bane! We had to leave him for longer than we’ve ever left him before and we wanted a caring and loving person to come spend an hour with him. She came the day before for a meet and greet and her calming presence made Bane and us very happy and comfortable. She showed up right on time and not only took him for potty breaks and played; but also practiced some training with him on the leash, which is something we are still working on! Tayna gave us a big update at the end of their visit and also sent great videos and pictures. She even brought him a special treat, his new favorite toy. Bane can’t wait for his next visit with Tayna!”

About: I’ve had my dog for 6 years since she was a puppy. She is house trained and is trained to be out without a leash. She is great with children and other dogs. I’m currently a college student so I have 1-2 classes a day with breaks in between. My classes are only 1-2.5 hours and don’t consume too much of my time. I have a huge fenced in your with more than enough space for a big dog to run around and play and release any stored up energy they might have. I also live in a nice quiet neighborhood that is perfect to go on walks.

About: I work full time during the day. Usually home no later than 4pm. I have a 4 yr old labradoodle that loves playing ball but is very timid and skittish so I have plenty of experience with dogs who are also the same Way. I will always make sure your dogs needs come first and treat them like my own. I have experience administering all types of medications as I have a veterinary background and have had a dog with a lot of health issues. I have experience with timid and dog reactive dogs. I currently have the Flex-ability to work from home 3x a week. As well as getting into work early and home by 2pm. Leaving lots of time to be able to enjoy the afternoon for walking not just my own dog but others as well. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. Going out for walks/potty breaks every 3-4 hours. Lots of play time and letting them get to know. It always the key to take it slow and steady. Having a rescue dog myself, we always are patient and cautious as she gets scared and skiddish of things very easily.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in North Chelmsford on Rover is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. 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 9,685 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across North Chelmsford. 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 North Chelmsford 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 North Chelmsford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
