“Wonderful care of our pup when we were out of the country for 10 days! Photos and updates of his adventures, lots of walk and play. Our pup came home happy and healthy after having his own little vacation!”
“John was excellent! He watched my 1 year old American Bulldog for 5 nights, I was very nervous dropping him off becauae it was my first time boarding my baby. John eased my mind and sent me pictures of my boy having a blast. Rocco came home happy & healthy and we will defiantly be usung John again!”
“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.”
“Our pup Kepler boarded with Rachel for 2 weeks, and had a blast. He had a wonderful time with her dog Maya, and played with other dogs in the neighbourhood at the dog park every day. We got daily pictures and updates, can't be happier.”
“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!”
“We’ve never tried Rover before, and as new MA residents navigating our way, our neighbor recommended Akhil to us for Beau’s boarding needs. He was so frightened at his last doggie daycare, but we decided to give them a try. Beau was having the time of his life! I could tell from all the pictures and videos they’ve sent to us. I felt secure knowing that my Beau was in good hands while I was away for a short time. He received all the love, brush, and cuddles. I could just tell because he was so relaxed when I took him back home with me. Thank you, Akhil and family, for letting Beau be a part of your family!”
“Rachel took care of Theo for two consecutive weekends when I needed a sitter. She was responsive and pick up/drop off was very easy. Her neighborhood seems good for dogs, with a park very close by. Thank you Rachel!”
“Thank you again John. Walking dogs in a dense urban setting is not without its challenges. John is so experienced with this and we can head out of town without concern for our dog when he's in John's care.”
“Chanel was responsive and responsible and seemed to really enjoy having our pup. She’s very sweet and sends updates and pictures everyday. Our pup seemed to really enjoy her stay and we’d book Chanel again!”
“Ester loved her weekend with Emily, Dan and Thomas! They treated her like family and kept us in the loop the whole weekend with updates and photos, which we loved. It was clear Ester was happy and comfortable the entire time. We would absolutely use them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive pet sitters”
“Jessica and her family were amazing! They took wonderful care of our dogs. I’m definitely using her again! We received pics daily and she is awesome with communication. Thanks again!!”
“Marie was wonderful. Both with Luna and me. She immediately put me at ease when I dropped Luna off. I could tell she is a dog person. She sent updates and photos throughout the day. And when we picked up Luna last night, we could tell she had a great day. We are so appreciative and grateful to Maria.”
“Haowen and Yi were amazing! They kept us updated with tons of pictures. We can tell they took very good care of our high-energy golden, she came home very happy! We will absolutely use them again in the future. I highly recommend them for any pet parents who are nervous to leave their pets! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Ilya is absolutely excellent! He took great care of our dog, was extremely communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates. It was very clear our dog had a great time staying with Ilya. Would highly recommend him for anyone!”
“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!”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Charlotte & Mackenzie saved us a huge headache by watching our girl Ginny for a wedding weekend! They were super responsive, easy to plan with, sent lots of pictures, and helped Ginny settle in nice! This is the second time we’ve booked them, with 2 different dogs and will definitely use them in the future, they are the best!
Alejandro was great and took wonderful care of my dog! After I picked her up, she passed out the minute we got home; which says a lot about how much fun and playtime she must have had, because she’s normally not much of a sleeper! She clearly had a great time, and I’d happily leave her with Alejandro again.
Amazing and kind sitter. Took lovely care of our girl, and even washed her blanket (and possibly her?) before we got back. She updated us with photos and videos, and Zilla seemed to adore her. I believe dogs are good sense of character, and Zilla left with her right away, no shyness at drop off. I think I was more upset than she was to leave. If we have to go away again, we will definitely book 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.
