Whatever needs your animals has I can take care of. I am serious when it comes to doing anything with making sure animals are safe and happy. I can give medication, meet your pets needs, and go the extra mile for the best care for your animal. I am currently a student and looking for a part time job, so as of now I am available through out the weekday to help check in on your pet while you’re at work, on vacation, or simply out for the day! I can do special request if needed on weekends. I do not offer boarding at my personal home, but am happy to drive to your home instead! I like to follow the instructions given to me to ensure your fur baby is the most comfortable.
“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!”

“Emily is the best! She’s very flexible with my schedule changes and her communication is always on point with any details or requests I may have. My pup loves her!! Highly recommend her to anyone ❤️”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages, as well as worked on obedience training with puppies. I am familiar with different dog tools and temperaments aswell as different cat needs. I take care of my own dog daily, from dog walks to training- we are always about taking care of our pet's needs first. Your dog needs walks but hates other dogs? We can walk on the other side of the road and keep away from other furry friends! You want your dog to work on basic obedience on the walk? Sure thing! I want your dog to feel as safe as he/she would with you. Whether your dog eats in the crate or needs medication in their bowl, I can follow your pet's needs based on their lifestyle is. I take my own dog's health very seriously and consider them family, and I would treat your pet the same.

About: Hi! I’m Olga (they/she), an educator and caregiver based in Chelmsford, MA. Caring for others has been at the heart of my work for years, and I bring that same patience, responsibility, and attentiveness to every pet I care for. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, quiet companionship, playtime, or simply sticking to a familiar schedule, I’m happy to provide thoughtful, dependable care that helps them feel safe while you’re away. I’m organized, communicative, and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for a beloved family member. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family and creating a positive experience for both you and your pets. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and overnight care with advance notice. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistency while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any special instructions before every booking. I treat every home with respect, keep communication open, and provide regular updates and photos. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and happy while you’re away.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs for my entire life, and I have frequently been asked by neighbors and family friends to care for their furry friends while they are away. I have been consistently petsitting for a family for the past 2-3 years, taking care of their two french bulldogs. I am comfortable with puppies and older dogs, have a car so I can take your furry friends to any dog park/trail that they may be accustomed to, and have flexible availability as I am a college student currently on summer break. I have some light experience training my own puppy with simple commands, and have experience in dealing with pets that have general anxiety/nervousness, as my own dog has been on medication for anxiety before. I'm currently a college student working part-time during the summer with a very flexible schedule! My availability is typically Wednesday-Sunday, however sometimes Fridays are tricky for me. I can drop in any time of the day from 8am to 8pm, and I am flexible on days/times if needed! On Mondays and Tuesdays I am also available for quick midday check ins, quick walks and some play time! Drop-ins consist of potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles in order to keep your pet happy and healthy while you are away. 30 Minute dog walks consist of a stroll around the neighborhood or at a local trail or park where your dog will get their exercise, mental stimulation, and fresh air for the day.
“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: 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.

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.

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.
