Our puppy always feels at home with Jessica. It’s clear that Jessica deeply cares for the dogs she takes care of and we are very grateful. Jessica is our first call whenever we go out of town. Cannot recommend enough.

He took such great care of my little pup! When I picked up my dog after his first 4 day stay with Doug, he was happy and settled (he is a sensitive dog! So I know if hasn’t been well with someone). I’m so grateful, Doug was wonderful!

Kristen was absolutely amazing! This was the first time I was leaving my cat with anyone and I was so nervous, she made me feel so much better! She sent me daily updates and pictures and was so patient when my cat was not so happy around the dog to begin with! I would HIGHLY recommend her and will have her keep Luna again if I ever need it!

Over Labor Day weekend, I needed someone to look after my two pups while I headed to the beach...one of them is just shy of 4 months old and not yet eligible for boarding. Britteny was fantastic and assured me it wouldn’t be a problem. She kept me updated with plenty of photos each day, and it was clear they were having a blast. The pups had time to play in her backyard throughout the day, which was clean, safe (nice neighborhood), and secure (fenced), giving me real peace of mind while I was away. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Jordyn is amazing!! I knew my fur baby was going to be happy and anxiety free staying with her while we were gone for a week. You can tell she really cares for your dog like you would which made for a better vacation. Plus she sends daily updates with pictures!! I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you Jordyn!!

Our sweet Nelson had a wonderful experience staying with Shay and Zach. Their place is very dog-friendly and they immediately welcomed our little boy into their pack. They made sure he got his medication and gave him lots of play time. We were very happy with our decision to let him stay with them and would highly recommend them.

Laura is the best!! My dog Lucy may have been disappointed to come home. Laura loved on her just like she would have been loved on at home. Laura is set up to dog sit or board for dogs much better than any vet or other facility ever could be. She gave Lucy plenty of snacks and time outside. If you’re looking for someone near Chelsea, Mt Laurel, Greystone, she is the one- just don’t take her from me when I need her. :) Lucy loved her! 🩷🐾

FAQs for Boarding - Chelsea

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chelsea on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 347 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chelsea. 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.

97% of Chelsea 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 Chelsea 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 Chelsea 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 Chelsea.

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 Chelsea 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 AL 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.
