“My pup had a great time with Zwany and Leandro! They truly go above and beyond for the dogs they care for. I loved getting daily updates of all the fun activities they planned!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Victoria and Antonio’s superb care for my senior dog, Rocky. I could tell my little guy was well adjusted to being with them after a week’s stay. I always get nervous leaving him but it makes a world of difference knowing that he’s in good, loving hands. Victoria sent regular photo updates and she had no problem managing Rocky’s daily meds. Thank you again, Victoria and Antonio!”
“Elliot and his wife were wonderful sitters for our dog! They were attentive to detail, have a clear love for animals, and were flexible and great with communication. Our dog had a blast staying with them, they went on a lot of outdoor adventures. We got updates twice a day with pictures; we definitely felt that our pup was safe, happy, and having a great time. Would highly recommend them!”
“Rachel could not have been nicer! Our dog had the best time going on long walks and playing with Rachel's dog. She was great about sending daily photos. We would not hesitate to recommend Rachel. She is wonderful!!”
“Haowen took excellent care of Bandit. He sent frequent updates and when Bandit was reluctant to eat went out to get peanut butter to mix into his food. He also went to get a ball so Bandit could do his favorite activity of playing fetch. When it was time to get Bandit he was excited to see his mom and dad but then went back to Haowen to say goodbye, which is Bandit's way of saying thank you. Bandit gives a 5 PAWS rating and hopes he can visit again soon”
“John did an amazing job watching my dog LD! He took care of her for 9 nights 10 days while we were on vacation. He provided daily updates and I never worried or wondered what she was up to. My dog has separation anxiety and blues and John dealt with it by adjusting to what she was comfortable with regarding feeding schedule and going outside. He is a very trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you again John!”
“John - aka the dog whisperer - is the most wonderful dog sitter you could wish for. Marnie is now a regular and she absolutely adores John and his harem of pups. The best there is. Thanks, as always! 🐶”
“Geraldine and her family took wonderful care of Izzy during our three-week vacation. They followed all our requests, responded instantly, and sent regular updates and photos. Izzy always looked relaxed and happy — whether lounging on the couch or out on walks — and came home in great spirits, settling right back into her routine.”
“Howie runs into Elizabeth and Rodrigo’s home every time I drop him off like it’s his own home!! That’s all you can ask for as a pet parent!! They are so communicative, flexible and kind.”
“Maryah did a great job taking care of Alfie. She was quick to respond to my messages and provided me updates on Alfie. When I went to pick up Alfie, I could see he was very well taken care of. Thank you, Maryah!”
“Patrick did an outstanding job taking care of my dog, Grace Warrior. Grace is a 94 lbs bundle of energy, and Patrick managed her needs perfectly. He was professional, attentive, and clearly experienced with handling large dogs. Grace came back happy and well-cared for, and I could tell she enjoyed her time with him. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and capable pet sitter. Thank you, Patrick, for your excellent care!”
“Emily & Daniel were fantastic! They took such great care of Ubu and thoughtfully checked in beforehand to see if there was anything more to know about her routine. Communication was easy, and I really appreciated the photos during her stay. Their dog, Thomas, is adorably—I loved seeing him and Ubu snuggled up!”
“Kylie was so wonderful!! She was sent lots of pictures and updates during the stay! She quickly responded to messages and pick up/drop off were a breeze! Our dog came home happy and seemed to miss her new friend! Highly recommend Kylie!”
“Todd was awesome! Very communicative and attentive, and clearly seemed to provide a great environment for Beau to stay. He came home clearly taken care of, calm, and happy.”
“Tyler took great care of our lab while we were away and sent a couple photos a day. He came back happy and cared for! We’ll definitely book with him again.”
“Jessica was the perfect match for Chumlee. Her and her family were loving and attentive to my Old girl and kept her calm and entertained. She gave her meds and accommodated her needs. We will booking with Jessica for our next trips. She is communicative and easy to coordinate with”
“It was clear that our dog was in excellent hands! Ilya was dedicated to providing tons of exercise in the parks nearby, and giving us detailed, routine updates on how the days were going. What sets Ilyad apart is his commitment to communication – these regular, detailed updates put our minds at ease and let us know our dog was thriving. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a reliable and responsible caretaker for our 2 year old Whippet, we can't recommend him highly enough! Chelsey & Dan”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Yan is THE BEST dog sitter! She was attentive to our dog’s needs and asked lots of thoughtful questions during our meet-and-greet. My dog was a bit nervous about boarding, but I could tell he adjusted quickly—Yan took him for long walks and even brought him to the beach. She also sent tons of pictures every day, which really eased my worries. On top of all that, Yan is a great communicator and such a kind person! We’re so lucky to have found her and will definitely hire her again for our future needs. Thank you, Yan!
Antonio was very nice and responsive. We didn't like leaving our dog at an institution where she seemed to be lonely and uncomfortable at night, we thought she would be more comfortable in a home. While we didn't have a video feed to check on her whenever we wanted to, butwe got personalized pictures and could tell she was happy and getting customized care with Antonio. He followed our instructions, and kept her comfortable in a home environment where she had park access whenever she needed to go outside and he gave her 1:1 attention unlike some other caretakers.
Sydney did an absolute amazing job watching my chocolate lab Sadie. Always sent me updates and pictures of Sadie during her stay with Sydney. Cannot recommend Sydney enough and will definitely be coming to her with any more needs for my pup! 10/10 recommend!! Thank you again!
Julie was wonderful with Latte! She took great care of her and kept me updated with messages and photos. She was also very understanding and flexible when I had an unexpected delay with pickup. I felt very comfortable leaving Latte with her and would definitely book with Julie again. Thank you so much! 😊
Parashar B. and his wife are the best! They took great care of Rocky for 5 days and sent me tons of updates, videos and photos each and every day! Incredibly easy to work with and great communication! Rocky had an incident during his stay there and they reacted and acted not only professionally but further more as Rocky was part of their family! I totally trust them and I would definitely book Parashar B. again!
We are repeat customers for a reason!!! Zwany and Leandro take such amazing care of our babies we don’t have to worry at all while we’re trying to enjoy our vacation. They are responsive and kind and love our dogs like they were their own. Their grooming service is also top notch!! I love being able to come home from a trip with clean and happy dogs waiting for me. We already have our next booking with them.
Melis was amazing with Lucy, she were looking so happy in the pictures she sent to me, she keep me updated all the time about how was Lucy doing, they brought her to nice walks in different places and for dinners too! She was all the time with her, really appreciate all the caring she had, I highly recommend Ceyla and Melis. Thank you so much 😊
I was apprehensive about leaving my two small dogs with a stranger fir a few days, as we already had traveled a bit this summer a d they were still a bit out of sorts, but Monica quickly eased those concerns. She sent me a video almost immediately, and kept the photos and videos.coming. The love she and her children have for animals was evident. My dogs were well-cared for, and mu older, still-energetic Russell terrier enjoyed his play time with the kids Would use Monica's services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chelsea on Rover is $58.85 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 3,906 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.
92% 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 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.
