“John was excellent with harley! He really saved our butts with a short-notice booking. We got several pictures of harley every day while we were gone and she was looking very spoiled. Will definitely be asking John again next time we need a place for harley.”
“Zwany and Leandro are outstanding - so capable and communicative. We always worry when we use a new dog sitter for the first time and they did so much to put us at ease! Sending pictures, giving updates, and really paying attention to them the whole visit. Would love to gatekeep them but they deserve a ton of clients. Highly recommend.”
“Our dog really enjoyed Rachel! She was great at sending us multiple pictures of our dog throughout the day and letting us know how our dog was doing. We will definitely leave our dog with her next time we are out of town.”
“Will definitely board with Nola and Damian again! From the meet and greet to picking our dog up, they were very easy to communicate with and took great care of Bori.”
“Thank you for taking care of Theo again! Theo always runs right into Elliot and Jo’s house and heads straight for the dog toys. I know I can leave him and he’ll feel right at home.”
“Highly recommend Rachel. She was very flexible with scheduling as we had to adjust times for both drop off and pick up. Bodhi was very comfortable which we could see from the many photos and video that Rachel sent to us. Such a comfort to know our girl was loved. Thank you, Rachel!”
“Tiffany and Steve took great care of Logan while we were away for a week, and on short notice to boot. While we were gone, they were always responsive when we had questions about how things were going, and they sent lots of photos. We came back and he was happy and healthy, and clearly had fun over his stay. Will definitely be back!”
“My dog Hunter loves John and has already stayed with him a few times. For this past trip when I dropped him off, he ran up to John’s apartment very excited. John always updates us and asks us questions when needed. We are so grateful to have John caring for Hunter. Thank you!”
“Victoria is amazing all around. Not only does our pup love staying with her but she is attentive and flexible. Maddie has stayed with her multiple times and we highly recommend booking with Victoria!”
“Linda is fantastic!! She took very good care of our dog Nellie, and was very attentive to all of her needs. We would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter who goes out of her way to make your dog as comfortable and happy as possible. She is a great communicator sending us daily updates and photos. Thank you Linda we appreciate everything that you did for Nellie!!”
“Ellis had a short stay with Emily and Daniel but will definitely be back! They sent great pics and updates and were flexible when our plans shifted slightly. Their dog seemed super sweet too and it looks like the pups got along well!”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were absolutely amazing with Bruno over Christmas break. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and clearly cared so much about him. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands, and it was obvious he was happy and well cared for the entire time. They kept me updated, treated him like one of their own, and went above and beyond. I could not recommend them enough!!!”
“Kerrin and Chris were amazing with our dog Lizzie—she had an absolute blast staying with them. They sent daily pictures, which gave us total peace of mind, and it was clear she was being cared for like part of their own family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Had a great experience boarding my Golden Retriever with Christina! From the initial meet & greet I could tell Christina was competent, professional, and caring. Leading up to and throughout the boarding she was communicative and sent multiple pictures daily, so I know my dog had a great time. Drop-off and pick-ups were easy. Overall really pleased with the boarding service and will be boarding with Christina again soon!”
“Grace and Andrew were so great with our pup! We got lots of photo updates, and it’s clear our lil guy was given lots of attention and care. We’ll definitely be booking with Grace and Andrew again in the future!”
“Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs”
“Haowen was amazing! I was really nervous about leaving my dog with a new person, but I had no reason to worry. They took lots of photos and sent me several updates daily. My dog did have a little accident when she first got there (which she never does 🤦🏼♀️), but Haowen was so understanding about it. I would definitely use this rover again!! Cleo came home super tired, so I’m guessing she had a fun weekend lol”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Ela took such good care of my dog Zoe! She was super responsive, accommodating and reliable from the very beginning. She sent pictures and updates throughout the week so that I could have a stress free vacation. And my dog seemed happy when I picked her up. Overall 10/10
Kiara was super nice and communicative with me before and during my pups stay with her. She walked him a lot and had a yard he could run and lay in which he loved! My dog is anxious and has separation anxiety but he went with her with no issues or hesitation. All of the pictures she sent of him, he seemed happy calm and relaxed which definitely put my worries at ease. 10/10 recommend Kiara!!
Richard and his partner went above and beyond while I used his services. Very communicative and went out of his way to give my pet a great time while I was away. My dog gets anxious very easily but just by the pictures he seems so happy. I appreciate their care and will 100% be requesting their services going forward
Yan and Edith were great with Ellie! She instantly seemed comfortable with them, and walked off loose leash when we dropped her off. We were traveling internationally and Yan put us at ease, sending pictures and updates of Ellie daily. We got a little cute polaroid as well. On top of all that there's a dog park and a lot of well maintained green space at their place. Ellie had a ton of fun! Would definitely recommend and re-book with Yan.
Luisa and her roommate are a power duo for any fur-baby boarding! Luisa in particular is very affectionate, detail-oriented and well suited for the care of animals of all shapes and sizes. She was very attentive to our instructions (as our dog doesn't like other animals), and kept us updated regularly. I appreciated her rapid response when we reached out, and her openness about any needs she had during the two-week stay. We will be booking again! Thank you 🙌
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
For two weeks Grace and her boyfriend Dario took wonderful care of my dog! They provided daily updates and photos which I really appreciated. She gets sad and anxious when we are separated and they showed her love and patience. They helped administer medication when she got scared during a thunderstorm. I would 1000% recommend to take care of your pet!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Chelsea
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.
