“Danielle is a terrific sitter, always sending pictures of Belle enjoying her stay. This is Belle's third time staying with Danielle and every time she is treated well, walked a ton, and enjoys every minute of her stay! Would highly recommend Danielle for a long board or just a short weekend!”
“Cherie was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and for my new dog I had only had for two months, so I was uncertain about the whole process. Cherie was very responsive and easy to work with. My dog isn’t the easiest dog ever but Cherie managed her well. With the big fenced in backyard and other dog friends to play with, I wasn’t sure my dog waned to leave at the end!! Highly recommend. Almost forgot- we had a few travel hiccups coming back and Cherie was really understanding and we were able to book an extra night. Five stars!”
“Jing, made this experience a very positive one. I hadn’t left my 2yr old Zuchon previous to this. I felt very reassured for the duration my fur baby was in her home. My pet enjoyed the doggy day camp, and will continue to use Jing whenever possible. Thanks Rover!”
About: Hi I’m Nathan, Lacey’s son! I have a pitbull terrier who’s 10 but still loves to have fun. I love animals and have been caring for them for over 5 years. Including all different ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I am fun, energetic, dependable and love creating bonds with each unique animal. Your pets health and safety are the most important thing, so I am always sure to keep you in the loop! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I’m available all throughout the summer. I have my mom here with me to help when need be. I’m a passionate animal caregiver and lover. I live with my mom, and my dog Tilly, in a suburban neighborhood in LowelI. She is 10 and up to date with all shots. I take Tilly on a walk in the morning as well as throughout the day as she needs. She is very well behaved and does great with other dogs and cats. I have a fenced in yard with a gate for the best of fun and safety. Your pet will receive lots of playtime, cuddles, and love when they stay at my home and will always a custom to their needs.
“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!”
“Melany was amazing! She kept me updated the whole time by sending videos and pictures of my Frenchie, and it was clear my dog was happy and well cared for. She also accommodated an extra day for me last minute, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be booking with her again next time I go away!”
“Jessica and Breyin watched our dog and 2 cats for us while we were away for just over a week. Jessica sent us pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend them and book 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.”
“Adriana and her whole family was very accommodating and patient with our dog who gets separation anxiety. She kept me updated frequently with pictures and texts. I would use Adriana again and would recommend her. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jane has looked after my young pup several times and I feel totally at ease leaving her with Jane. She took time to get to know my dog beforehand, sent lots of photos during her stay, and took her on long walks in the trails behind her house. Most importantly, when I pick her up I can tell she’s happy and relaxed. I have no hesitation in recommending Jane!”
“Susan is awesome and our dog loves to be with her. The best part is that she will send pictures of his day and that is very helpful and relieving for me. Thank you, keep it up, Susan! ”
About: I’ve been a pet owner to both cats and dogs since childhood, and animals have always been an important part of our family. Our beloved black Lab, Bo, and shepherd mix, Bayou, recently passed away, and we’re looking for a meaningful way to honor their memory. We’ve used Rover for years with great experiences, and now we’d love to open our home to care for your dog the same way others cared for ours. We have experience giving medication, supporting senior dogs, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and at home. Our daughters, ages 8 and 10, are gentle, responsible, and excited to give your dog plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. Caring for animals is truly a family effort here. Since losing Bo and Bayou, we’ve been looking for a positive way to honor their memory and welcoming new pups into our home feels like the perfect way to do that. We’d be honored to care for your dog and treat them like part of our family. We currently work full-time outside the home. I am a teacher that has school vacation weeks off and some long weekends. We can watch your dog during the weeks we are working but some days they would be let out by my father in law. We treat all dogs as if they are a member of our family. If your dog is on medication of any kind, we have experience with administering it and getting them to take it.
“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.”
“Jessica was very attentive. She paid close attention to my dog, Teddy, and kept him busy and happy. She sent adorable pictures frequently and spent a lot of outdoor time with Teddy walking and playing with him. I felt very comfortable with Jessica. She showed strong knowledge about dogs and a clear love for them as well. I absolutely recommend Jessica for anyone who needs their dog taken care of.”

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!
Thalia cared for my dog, Cody, overnight for the first time. Everything went very well. He is an anxious little guy, but based on her photos and feedback, I believe it was a good experience for Cody. Thalia sent me lots of photos and updates which I appreciated. I would have her care for Cody again. Thank you Thalia.
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.
