“Alyssa was right on time, communicative and professional! My cat requires heart medication at specific times and she was able to give it to her with ease! She is the best!”
“Sarah was great! Good communication and consistent. She sent pics of my kitty that would come out to play and found a way to make sure my other kitty who is a pro-hider got her food as well. Would definitely hire Sarah again.”
“Sheylah has been wonderful. She’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and gives me real peace of mind. I really appreciate knowing my dog gets a friendly visit and a bathroom break during the day. Highly recommend!”
About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs and have years of experience caring for them. I'm also a runner, so if you have a more energetic dog id be happy to take them on a run instead of a walk! I'm a full time student at University of Massachusetts Amherst, but have gaps in my schedule between classes and I'm available after classes past 4pm I play with my pets and feed them at consistent times. I help my dog exercise through walks several times a day. Whatever accommodations your pet needs I believe I could fulfill!
“We had a great experience! Jessica was very communicative and kept us updated throughout the visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She did an excellent job managing all three of our dogs—including our senior dog, who is very grumpy and selective about people. She took them all for a walk, made sure they had fresh water, and as requested, gave them a snack before she left. It was clear she was patient, attentive, and comfortable handling different personalities. We would absolutely book with her again!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I adjust my care to match their energy levels, medical needs, and routines. I'm available for boarding on the weekends and any night after 4 pm. There will always be a trusted adult at home to keep your furry friend happy and cared for! I have a fenced in yard and a border collie living at home. He is extremely friendly and his best friend is my brother's teacup Yorkie, so he gets along with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments!
“Stephanie was fantastic! She was a great communicator, followed all of our instructions, and spent quality time socializing with our kitties every day. We loved receiving her updates after each visit and seeing all the wonderful photos she took, they gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, healthy cats, and she even brought in packages that were delivered while we were gone. We really appreciated her care and attention to detail and highly recommend her!”
“Nathan was very responsive and accommodating. This was my first time using Rover & I will continue to use this app and book with him whenever available. With maybe 3 days notice, he committed to cat sitting my 2 cats for a week, with twice a day drop by’s. He fed my cats, cleaned their bowls everyday, changed out their water and changed their cat box everyday. He also guaranteed daily belly rubs, which I loved. He is very understanding of animals and their personalities. One of my cats is very loving to everybody & he gave him all the attention he could. The other is avoidant of people he doesn’t know and he gave him that space until he became comfortable and came into HIS space. He was very informative, sent many pictures & clear updates that I looked forward to, twice a day. I feel like he didn’t look at it as a chore but that he genuinely loved animals. I will book him with over and over. Not only do you want somebody to be comfortable giving your animals the love & care they need, but you also want somebody that you can trust in your home. Even though they knocked stuff down, he didn’t want to touch anything outside of care instructions left so he left things where my fur babies left them and communicated with me what happened. My cats weren’t as excited to see me as I thought because they were so used to him! Can’t recommend him enough!”
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 took care of my grandfathers dog for 5 years. He was a Pomeranian. I love dogs I wish I could have one of my own. I have experience taking care of dogs and get along with them. I'm available during the weekdays 6-10 and the weekends all day . I'm pretty easy-going get along with mostly everybody. Flexible hours and have a car. I could take care of two dogs at a time. Thanks I can take care of your pets after work and the weekends. I absolutely love pets. I lived with them most of my life and care for them. You own home I'll take care of your pets. I'll feed and walk then if needed. Playing with them as well. I love animals. Dog parks

“Chloe is an excellent dog sitter! She comes on time, makes sure my dog is taken out, and fed. She also walks and plays with her. She is very responsive and will ask if anything is needed. I also like her pricing as it is affordable. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”

“Emily was so wonderful with taking care of our cat and dog! She provided great updates with lots of details and photos, and we could relax on our trip knowing our pets were getting lots of attention and love. 😊”
About: Hey! I'm Luis. I've always had a natural connection with animals, and caring for them has never really felt like work to me. I enjoy getting to know each dog's personality, whether they're the type that wants to burn off energy on a walk or would rather take things slow and soak up some attention. When I'm looking after someone's pet, they have my full attention. I take the responsibility seriously, stick to their routine as closely as possible, and make sure they're healthy, comfortable, and having a good time. I also make sure to send plenty of photo, video, and text updates because I know I'd appreciate those if someone were watching my own pet. Over the years I've cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, including large breeds, senior dogs, and a few with special care instructions like topical or oral meds. Puppies aren't quite my specialty unless they are very well potty trained already, however I am unlikely to turn down untrained ones because of my love for animals. While dogs are my main focus, I've always gotten along well with cats too. They seem to decide I'm trustworthy pretty quickly... though I'd like to think my surprisingly convincing meow deserves at least a little of the credit 🤭 Right now I offer dog walks and drop-in visits. I don't have my driver's license just yet, so my travel range is limited to about 5 miles tops, but if you're within that range I'd be happy to give your pet the exercise, attention, and company they deserve while you're away! I am available every day full time, this is subject to change eventually as I am looking for a steadier job and will need to focus on other life tasks eventually. P.S If you book with me and notice my calendar change to unavailable for the dates you requested it's to avoid requests from multiple owners for those dates, I work by a first come first serve basis. Pets will adhere to all rules of my clients home unless exceptions are stated beforehand, this includes treat amount, furniture/room access, noise amount and/or anything else that comes to mind.
About: I have owned or cared for 4 legged friends for most of my life. Family and friends have had me care for their pets since I was about 12, but owning my own really made me love them. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, but I have a special place in my heart for larger breed dogs and orange cats. I would love to help reinforce your dogs training, encourage socialization and exercise in settings that are safe and dog friendly, and I am passionate that animals are part of a family. I am comfortable feeding both dogs and cats, and have experience medicating both. I'm a stay at home mom with a kiddo who is in elementary school, so my schedule tends to be flexible depending on the day and school schedules. Please be aware that if a visit or walk is scheduled on a day that there is no school, (such as a holiday or vacation), or a time that school is not in session (half days, weekends, or after school hours) my daughter may join me. I love going for walks and exploring new areas, but can also happily cuddle a furry friend. I am able to feed, pick up after, and care for animals with confidence. I am comfortable taking instruction and will do my absolute best to make sure that you are happy with my visit with your furry family member. I don't worry about bigger dogs, they're just more to love! Meeting a new dog prior to the first visit is a requirement for my services.
“Lucille is everything you would want for pet care. She’s thorough, experienced & reliable. Even when I feel like I’m being over the top she will think of something I’m not! She’s so good with animals, your pet will sense her genuine affection & feel safe & loved. They are in good hands until your back.”

Sheylah was exceptionally communicative and very professional and warm. She sent me daily updates on all of the medications my cats take which really or my mind at ease and kept everything very clean. Will absolutely be working with her again in the future. Thank you Sheylah!!
Violet is awesome! We are first time cat owners, adopted two sweet skittish rescues and she managed to get them to poke their heads out, play, eat and stay happy every visit! She was great with them! I felt they were truly cared for and was so appreciative of her daily contact with pics of them. I highly recommend Violet and will definitely want her to take care of our boys again. Thank you, Violet!
Sarah-Jane could not be a better pet sitter! Our cat, Louis, absolutely adores her, as do we. She is thorough, attentive, and communicative. She has a clear love for animals and it shines through in her work. She goes above and beyond to take care of our special guy and to keep us updated every step of the way. We have booked with her many times and will continue to do so whenever possible - we cannot recommend her highly enough!

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 North Chelmsford 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 North Chelmsford. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
