“Cherie was very communicative and flexible with timings. Sent me photos of Ralphie and he definitely looked very happy staying with her. Will use her services again in the future.”
“We boarded our dog and cat for a week. Likun is very experienced and attentive in taking care of both cats and dogs. We received daily updates and she also replied to our messages very promptly. Her Border Collie is so sweet and gentil. Our puppy was really happy she has a mature big sister and perfect playmate! The home is well equipped to take care of multiple pets and her backyard is perfect for dogs to play in.”
“Krystal was very caring and attentive towards Dwight. A day before our travel, Dwight developed a skin infection and was prescribed with a 7 day course of medications. She took utmost care of him and also sent us regular updates and pictures that put us to ease on our trip. We will surely recommend Krystal to take care of your pet.”
“François is an absolutely amazing individual with dogs. He has a really big yard, a patio and the woods nearby which kept my pupper happy. More so than that - this was the second time I’ve boarded him with François, and around this time my dog was too eager to go with him. He’ll emotionally invest into your dog, ask important questions and your dog will have fun! 10/10 recommend, and will come back.”
“We left our dog with Alison twice and would definitely have her stay again. She was responsive and kept us updated. Would highly recommend and look forward to having her watch our dog again soon.”
“Cheryl is great. Cinnamin was happy and seemed to enjoy her stay. She even got pampered with a grooming that included nails and her teeth done (extra but worth it to be done while she was there). Cheryl will definitely be our new Doggy sitter.”
“Deena was great with Tella, and really seemed to enjoy her! Tella was happy when I picked her up. Deena sent me a bunch of pictures and kept me updated. Would definitely use her again!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber were so welcoming from our very first meet and greet that we felt Bentley would be in great hands. During our trip we received great photos of Bentley enjoying his time with Kyber, as they quickly became best buds. We look forward to having Bentley visit again with Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber.”
“Bonnie and Alex were amazing to work with and excited to have our 2 dogs for a long weekend. They have a big, fun yard and a sweet pup named Walter that I'm pretty sure our dog still misses today. Would love to have them watch our dogs again. Great communication and super flexible.”
“Adriana has been so wonderful every step of the way! She was very flexible when I needed to reschedule our meet and greet. She welcomed my family and dog into her beautiful home and has a great set up for hosting dogs. She has a perfect fenced backyard and we were able to see how her dog and cat interacted with our high energy dog. We had a last-minute change of travel plans due to illness and Adriana was so kind and helped us figure out a new plan. Once we dropped off our dog she sent frequent video and photo updates. Her family made sure he had a lot of play time and exercise through games in their yard and neighborhood walks. She is very organized, kind and a great communicator. I highly recommend her and we will definitely trust her with our dog for future travel.”
“Michelle was wonderful with my Mookie. I was so pleased when she sent me pictures of Mookie knowing that she was having a good time without me there. This was the first time I had ever left her with anyone and it made me feel very comfortable, knowing that she was being well taken care of. Thank you, Michelle. I I highly recommend Michelle.”
“Such a phenomenal first experience with Caty! Will definitely be booking with her again. She was super communicative and helpful. She would send me pictures and videos of Honey Bee everyday while on my vacation with small updates which i loved, it helped me feel close to her while i was far away. She treated my dog like her own and im so greatful for her care of my dog! Honey Bee also loved her and felt right at home with Caty and her family.”
“Ralph is just great! He took care of our black lab for over a week and I think our boy is depressed that he had to come back home! This was our first time finding someone other than a boarding facility to take care of our dog and Ralph was wonderful. He is a natural with dogs and just a really nice guy. He has a great place with lots of outdoor space and his attitude and kindness cannot be beat. I was a bit nervous leaving our dog because he's a solid 85 lbs and he can be a lot to handle, but Ralph had no issue with him and they had a great week. Ralph sent pictures and updates daily. It was really fun to see how happy our dog was. They walked several miles every day. Ralph followed all of our requests and put us at ease right away. He really cares and wants the best. He also had other dogs in his care for some of the time our dog was there, and he handled that so well. We are thrilled that we found him and will definitely be reaching out again. 10/10 recommend!”
“Liza was amazing! Our dog Scooby stayed with her for 5 nights and she sent us daily photos and updates. It looked like he had a great time there. He seemed to want to stay when I picked him up!!! When ever we travel Liza will be the first option to take care of Scooby!”
About: I am a dog lover who has dogs my whole adult life. I have many friends and neighbors with dogs of all sizes that I have spent time with and babysat as needed! I am an elementary teacher with availability on weekends and during the summer I have much greater daily availability. I have a 5 year old friendly and submissive lab mix. My dog likes to play at times, but at other times wants to have her space. Our house is like a home away from home for visiting pets!! I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly 5 year old lab mix who is always looking to meet and welcome new friends. I am an avid walker and used to walking 2 dogs at time.
“When we moved to MA from across the country, Sergio was able too help us with our dogs when life became crazy from the move. I can not say enough great things about Sergio! He is very kind and you can tell how much he loves dogs. He went out of his way to help us. It made our move so much easier. I appreciate how he cared for our dogs and I know they can't wait for their next puppy vacation at Sergio's house.”

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 Pet Boarding in Chelmsford on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,042 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Chelmsford. About 90% of Chelmsford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
