“Nola and Damian were so great! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little hesitant about leaving Toki with someone new. However, they made us feel super comfortable and clearly took great care of her during our time away.”
“Rachel did an amazing job taking care of Kaia for a week! She was super responsive, accommodating, and adored Kaia very much. Definitely felt like my pup was in great hands.”
“This was our second time booking with Victoria, and once again, we couldn’t be happier. She sent frequent updates and adorable photos, which clearly showed how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our dog was. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Svetlana was amazing with Kaiser. She took amazing care of him and kept us up to date with all the activities during his stay. We received a lot of pictures and information on how he had spent each day. We really appreciate the love and attention that Svetlana showed towards Kaiser and we are looking forward to booking her again to take care of him!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes and I absolutely adore them! No matter what, all pets deserve to have a great and adventure filled day and I’m happy to help when you’re busy or plans change. I will always put your dog first when it comes to safety and enjoyment having been trained and years of taking care of our own family dog. My number one priority is to make sure your pup is happy and safe! I love to play, excercise, walk or just hand with them whatever their needs may be. I am WFH with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your babies whether for a walk or to pet sit. They will get all the care required anytime they are in my supervision which includes lots of fun and activities! I have a designated dog patio in my building along with a very secured home. I also have the space for a crate if that is desired for pet owners. I’m also in the heart of Boston and can take them on many walks to and from the Boston Common
“Sunny was amazing with Roxie. She is elderly and he was ready to take on the challenge that comes with caring for an older dog. Sunny’s communication throughout Roxie’s stay was excellent. He sent a ton of pictures so we could see how she was doing and reached out when he had questions or concerns. My daughter loved getting pictures throughout the day and it helped her miss Roxie a little less.”
“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”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Our second boarding with Jo and Adam was as outstanding as the first! Our puppy Fig was happy as can be to see them again and came home in great spirits. Thanks so much Jo and Adam!”
“Landy had such a great time with them and he quickly settled in with them (which was amazing because he is fairly anxious). They sent me lots of pictures and stayed in contact about how he was doing throughout his stay. They were super flexible with timing which was a huge help. Overall, they have been some of the best sitters I’ve had and I feel extremely comfortable leaving Landy with them. I will absolutely work with them again the next time I need to board my dog (I just hope that they will be available as they were the best sitters!)”
“Tiffany was great with Buck. I contacted her sort of last minute, and she was accommodating. She sent me a few check ins that made my day while traveling. Buck came home happy and healthy. I recommend Tiffany.”
“Our dog Maya had a great time with Lynne! Lynne kept us posted on Maya’s activities and sent photos on a daily basis. Maya looked like she was having a great time. Lynne was easy to communicate with and responsive to all of our questions and requests. You can tell that she truly cares about the pets in her care. Thanks, Lynne!”
“Tyler and his fiancée did a fantastic job taking care of Soka again. They were very communicative throughout the stay and even handled both pick-up and drop-off, which was a huge help. We really appreciate the care they showed and look forward to booking with them again in the future!”
“Brooklyn watched our Sydney for a quick overnight. She was very kind and responsive. Very accommodating of our pup's schedule and needs. We felt very at ease knowing she was in good hands”
“It was our first time boarding on Rover and Vanessa provided a great experience! The process was smooth from booking to pickup, and Vanessa sent plenty of photos and updates so we knew how our pup was doing the entire time. Would recommend!”
“Lyn was a fantastic dog sitter! Super professional and communicative and sent us updates of her weekend with our senior pup Thomas. He was well-rested and full of wiggles when we picked him up. Highly recommend and we will definitely reach out to her the next time we head out of town.”

She was amazing with my 4-month-old puppy! Her communication was great, she kept me updated, and I felt comfortable knowing my puppy was in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! ❤️
As always Zwany and her family are the best people I could have left my girl with. I continue to take the trip out to Winthrop to drop her off even though we have recently moved out of the area because I feel so safe leaving my dog with them. They are so understanding of my pups unique needs and are attentive and follow my instructions to a T (even if making her dinner can be a 5 step process sometimes). They care about you and your pup and are phenomenal people.
Took care of Toby perfectly!! Super kind and you can tell they really treat your pet as their own!! Also super understanding with travel issues. Overall amazing!! Toby loved them and runs into their house!! This is barely the second time he’s stayed with them and he already feels at home
truly the BEST!!!! we are so attached to our dog that it takes a special person to put us at ease about his care and safety—Grant is that person! we’ve been so scared to use a sitter but now we’ve booked multiple times with Grant! so thoughtful, thorough, and caring
Claudia and Joaquin were absolutely wonderful! They were so thoughtful and attentive from the very beginning, even coordinating a meet and greet beforehand so we could all get acquainted. It was clear how genuinely loving and detail-oriented they were with Sushi, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. They also sent tons of adorable photos and updates, which I really appreciated! I could tell Sushi was in great hands and being treated like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters!
Barbara and her partner took amazing care of my little guy! They followed his feeding instructions well, took him for plenty walks, gave him his medication, and sent plenty of sweet photo updates. I cannot recommend booking with them enough! I definitely will when I find myself in Bosto next :)!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Chelsea can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Chelsea home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
