“Victoria is AMAZING!☺️ by far the best Rover sitter we have used and we will definitely be booking her again and again! She watched our 2 dachshunds (one is 5 years old and the other is a 10 month old puppy) and she did such an amazing job with both of them. She is super bubbly, personal, and loving to the dogs she takes care of. She took our dogs to the dog park every day and sent us tons of picture updates. I felt very safe, comfortable and informed the entire time she watched them. We also had some last minute drop off and pick up time changes and Victoria was super accommodating and nice about it. 10/10 would recommend her. Thank you Victoria ???”
“Zwany and Leandro were conscientious and kind with Serena and Bobby; they sent daily pics and/or videos which helped with my missing my pups while away, and my friends enjoyed them, too! I loved receiving the puppy report card of their stay—a personal touch from a professional duo.”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“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 took great care of my high energy pup! His communication was excellent throughout the process and he too my dog on long walks. Looking forward to booking with John again soon!”
“Truly always goes above and beyond for our dog! Even got her some seasonal scarves and sent lots of cute photos. Took her to the dog park for the first time too, and really spent a lot of time with her. He and his girlfriend are the best in Boston and you can tell how much they care about dogs :)”
“Sarah is great in communication. She was very caring with our dog Frankie and made her feel very comfortable. Frankie came home and slept for hours as she had so much fun hanging out with Sarah. We highly recommend her and will be having Frankie stay with Sarah again very soon. Thank you”
“Liz & Rodrigo are incredible people, with an incredible family full of love to give! We were a bit nervous having someone board our newly adopted rescue Beagle, but they did an amazing job! They sent so many updates and photos while I was gone, I never once had to worry how they were doing! They were both accommodating of both our pup’s needs and I can tell our pups would love to go back whenever we need a sitter!”
“Guillermo was awesome. He was flexible with our drop off and pick up times, sent us plenty of updates and our pup came home exhausted from his stay (the best possible outcome!). I would totally book with him again.”
“Akhil was a fantastic caretaker for my dog, Sparkles. I received constant updates and pictures of him. He received plenty of attention and opportunities for walks and lounging around. Their dog was very friendly and was welcoming to mine.”
“Chanel is awesome- a true dog lover. She was super communicative leading up to and during Oliver’s stay. Oliver can be a bit of a handful at times and she assured us that he was behaving. We will definitely book with Chanel again! Thank you so much!”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Tiffany and Steve boarded our dog Ralphie for 8 days. We tried their daycare services out a few times prior to leaving Ralphie for 8days so he would feel more comfortable with them. After only two day visits Ralphie, who is in a fearful stage of people he doesn’t know, took right to Tiffany and Steve due to their caring and attentive nature. Needless to say the 8 days of boarding went great. Lots of updates and even helpful tips for some new dog parents like us. We willl continue to send Ralphie to Tiffany and Steve for daycare trips and overnights. We highly recommend.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Chelsea is $65

Weronikka and her husband took care of my dog for five days and did an amazing job. I had never met her or even spoken to her on the phone, before, so I was pretty nervous. But even before I left on my trip, she made me feel comfortable. Her constantly positive communication gave me confidence that I had left my baby with the right person. I will definitely ask her to take care of Herbie again.
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.
Mallory has just been a perfect sitter for our sometimes needy and anxious pup. She is very communicative and professional. We even goofed on pick up time and forgot food/water bowls once, and Mallory was gracious and accommodating. She takes great care of our pup so much so we don’t worry a bit while away, even when gone for a long weekend. Easy 5 stars!
Marianna was great watching my pup! She was very responsive when coordinating drop off and pick up. She also sent me photos a few time a day of different activities - napping, walking, playing, and meal time. I really appreciate Marianna opening her home to my pup and the amazing care she gave him. If I need anyone to watch my pup while I’m away, I will certainly reach out to her again. I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person for boarding or daycare 🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chelsea on Rover is $57.72 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,962 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.
