“My dog was very well cared for by Ying Ying and her family. She was so thoughtful and sent update videos of her while we were on our trip. It was clear Bailey had a great time.”
“Thalia was amazing! She lives right around the corner from us so it was very convenient. Toby was happy to spend time with her dog too. She sent many pics and videos and made sure he ate and took his meds. She was a super sweet person and I am confident we will use her to watch Toby next time we need to go out of town. Thank sp much Thalia!!”
“Brenna had an amazing stay at Liz's house! She loved running around the fully fenced yard with Charlie, and Liz was wonderfully communicative so my husband and I knew what Brenna was up to while we were out of town. We also received some great photos that perfectly captured the essence of our curious pup. We would love to book with Liz and Charlie again!”
“Michele and her family were warm and friendly towards our dog Polly. Polly enjoyed the company of Michele’s pets. And Michele took Polly on long walks and she seemed happy and relaxed when we picked her up.”
“Go no further ! I’ve found THE caretaker for my Madeline. When Lucille got down on the floor to greet and introduce herself to Madeline, I knew she was the GOLD standard in “fur baby” caregiving. She went above and beyond the 3 page list of instructions I gave her. 🙄 I had complete confidence, trust and peace of mind knowing Madeline was about to be spoiled, she was included in her daily routines which included car rides and shopping all while observing for any stress. I actually will, without hesitation, be calling Lucille for future overnights. Her love of dogs is a true gift! GLK”
“Angelina was fantastic! She took great care of Sammy, and sent us lots of photos while we were away. Excellent communication and very easy to work with. I would absolutely ask Angelina to watch Sammy again!! Thank you!”
“Peter and his family are absolutely fantastic. They are so accomidating with drop off and pick up times. We know our dog loves staying with them because he practically jumps out of the window when we pull up to their house! There are definitely at the top of our list when we need a sitter.”
“We had a great experiencing leaving our dog London! Xiaofan is an amazing host and caretaker, she took great care of our dog and sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We’re so grateful to her for the positive experience! Dobby is a great dog too!”
“My Little Miss Sunshine (3 year old cocker spaniel) is so happy at Kavita’s home! She follows their dog Toby and plays with him in the big fenced in yard. Kavita also made a special shopping trip for Sunshine’s food because I did not leave enough for her. The family is also flexible when my travel plans get changed. Sunshine will be back next month!”
“This was my first time leaving Eddie with a sitter. Eddie is a shy and anxious dog. Jo took great care of him. Will definitely be taking Eddie to Jo on my next trip!”
“Avery took us his client at the very last minute when our prior arrangements had fallen through. Avery was very responsive was great sending pictures and updates and our dog shall be. Had a great time.. I would highly highly recommend Avery if you’re looking for a sitter can’t say enough good things.”
“Lori did a good job taking care of Rosie. Communication was smooth and clear throughout the stay, and she made sure to send a picture update of Rosie. Everything went well, and I appreciate her good care!”
About: I am a responsible and caring dog owner with hands on experience raising my own Golden Retriever puppy. I understand the importance of feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, basic training, and providing lots of love and attention. I will treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I am reliable, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine and any special care instructions. As a dedicated dog mom to my 6-month-old Golden Retriever, pet care is already part of my daily routine. I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and training. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your pet gets the same love, attention, and care that I give my own dog. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. As a Golden Retriever owner, I understand how important routine, exercise, and positive attention are. I always follow each owner’s care instructions, keep pets supervised, provide fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime and affection. I will treat your pet like a member of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“Michelle took care of our lab and German shepherd for a couple of days and she was exceptional! Our dogs had so much fun, we frequently got updates, her communication was great! Our dogs are exhausted, which is always a good thing!! Highly recommend!”
“Fabulous from first contact! Jordan is super responsive and calm with anxious dogs. She has her own a rescue dog Ollie who our dog loved. Our dog was very eager to get into their house to see Ollie after only 1 prior meeting. Jordan took lots of photos and worked hard to try to get our anxious pup to eat and drink enough. She made sure the new playmates got both exercise and times to rest. It was great knowing she was well cared for in a home environment. We would definitely book again.”
About: I grow up having dogs and cats. They slept in bed with me and my sister. I am kind, responsible and will take great care of you best friend. I have a Chorkie a mix of Yorkshire and chihuahua . Her name is Suzy. She s about 8 pounds. She is my princess and she is an amazing, caring and lovable dog. I am currently working full-time at home. So I will have time to play with your pups! Feed and walk. I am available for boarding some weekends, and weekdays. From 8-5. I don’t have a fence yard. I will always have to leash your dog for walks. I have Suzy that loves to play but I will set times because they never know when to stop. I can also create if necessary and if you require.
“Tom was very helpful and easy to work with. He communicated well and provided updates throughout the stay. Elsa also had a great time during her stay with Tom and his pup. It was great working with Tom and we look forward to working with him in future.”
“Sergio is amazing - he deeply understands and loves dogs, and we felt so comfortable with our dogs in his care. We will definitely be booking time with him again - he’s top notch and exactly who we want taking care of our pups!”
“We just love Rebeca and her whole family! They all pitch in and take care of the dogs that stay with them and we have a VERY active dog so it is so good for her to have lots of people to play with while we’re away. :) I can tell Cici always has the best time with them and we don’t have to worry about her at all while on vacation. We got the most gorgeous pics of her to see all the fun walks she was taking and fun games she was playing with their daughter. And at the end of the stay their daughter gave her a little Halloween goody bag with the CUTEST note talking about her favorite moment of Cici’s stay with her. It’s just so sweet you can see how much they care about your dog when they are with them. Cici will for sure be back over and over again! 🥰”

Our family loved Ami, especially Milli! She was so kind and caring with our strong and spirited girl! I was uneasy leaving her for the first time but we felt so comfortable with Ami. She gave her the exercise and stimulation she needed and treated her like her own!
Tyson had a wonderful time with tom and his family. He well well cared for and well loved. We were happy they had a fenced in yard for him to run around. Tyson is high energy, but just as cuddly at the end of the day. We had never left him with a sitter before. He was a rescue and we were nervous about how he would do. Tom Is definitely a dog lover and truly took great care. he sent us pictures and videos to keep us informed. We will definitely use Tom again.
Molly is not only a delightful person but extremely contientious, warm and kind. She made sure Lucy had a great stay at her house. I have 100% confidence in Molly and was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Lucy was in capable hands. I recommend Molly without reservation!
Lisa was amazing with our dog, Kora! She went above and beyond, gave us regular updates, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We could tell Kora was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chelmsford on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,890 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chelmsford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Chelmsford sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Chelmsford landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Chelmsford home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Chelmsford.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Chelmsford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
