“I’ve booked with Zwany and Leandro before and I cannot recommend them enough! They are kind, responsive, and will care for your pets like they are their own!”
“Elliot and Jo are fantastic with Ghira. We always have such peace of mind whenever we leave her with them as they have a lot of experience with dogs (and ours has some special needs). From the photos we get, it feels like Ghira is also on her own vacation and loves them”
“We left our dog Wyle with John for 4 days while we went to California for a wedding. We had never been that far away from Wyle and had never left him for that long. We felt completely at peace knowing John was taking care of Wyle. We got regular updates and pictures and we could tell he was being well taken care of and was having a lot of fun! We will definitely have Wyle stay with John again in the future if needed. Thanks John for taking such good care of our boy!”

“Grace & Andrew were fantastic. They were super responsive and accommodating for my last second boarding request, and they’re SO sweet! They took Great care of Chance and I would absolutely use them again.”
“Rachel is an absolute life saver. I totally messed up the booking. (I tried to add a day, but when I did, the “extra” day then became the first day, so the whole booking shifted forward by a week. Make sure to double check your bookings in the app if you try to edit!) Anyway, I realized it the DAY OF. Rachel still made it work somehow. I’m not advocating anyone else doing this or anything, 😆 but just saying how incredibly grateful I am. Plus, she is absolutely wonderful with my dog. It’s clear my dog LOVES her and her son. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“It was such a relief booking with with her. She was able to take my dog last minute and catered to both of their personalities. She went above and beyond what I need her to do and definitely exceeded all my expectations. To the point, my dogs didn’t even wanna leave her. She accommodated them in every way for sure. Kept me updated with pictures and made the pick up and drop off very smooth. I can’t wait to book with her again. And I’m sure they would love to see her again as well.”
“Jamie was great taking care of Maya, she sent me multiple updates throughout the week and made sure Maya was comfortable and happy!! I would definitely recommend her and will use again in the future!!”

“Ana is simply amazing! She watched Lucy for almost two weeks while I was in Europe and I know Lucy was well taken care of. Her rates are reasonable and she loves Lucy as much as I do. Thank you Ana!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Overall, Mengzhou was an excellent dog sitter and we'd happily use again. During Rory's stay he managed to access some hard-to-reach treats and ate an entire bag; Mengzhou, cared for Rory as he worked through the inevitable diarrhea and provided regular health updates. She was very easy to work with and took good care of our dog.
This was my dog's first time staying with Mengzhen and I was definitely a little nervous since he gets anxious. They were incredibly friendly and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. She reassured me that he was doing okay and made me feel confident he was in great hands. It's clear they genuinely cared for him and took excellent care of him. I would absolutely trust them to watch my dog again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
They are the best! My dog is absolutely spoiled when he stays with Arlene and Josiah. They took him on all sorts of adventures around town (after checking that I was ok with it), and shared lots of great photos the whole time. Moose is not a particularly dificult dog but I would feel comfortable using them if my dog had special needs or other special instructions. Highly recommend them!
When I first met Elliot and Jo, I was impressed with the how thorough they were with their questions. Mocha really liked them too--which was a huge plus. When I left for my trip to Chicago, I felt that I was taking Mocha to her own special weekend. She was in capable hands with two caring people!
Nice and caring my dog was overheating when I brought him cause it was so hot outside and Rijia was very gracious and welcoming and assured me he had things under control and sent me updates on my pup. He also sent me a video watching cartoons with my pup which was so funny. They had a fun time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chelsea on Rover is $61.05 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 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 July 2026, there are 3,978 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.
91% 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.
