Chanel was an amazing host for our senior Shih Tsu, Kody. She made Kody feel right at home. She’s a natural caregiver, but also followed all the instructions and care tips we provided (morning meds, feeding, walks, etc.). Chanel was super communicative and made sure that we were updated during Kody’s stay. What a relief for us! (Thank you, Chanel. We’ll be back).

About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience working with anxious pets, ensuring they feel safe and at ease. I use positive reinforcement techniques and tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be in loving, attentive hands! I have completed the Red Cross Pet First Aid course in order to be prepared for any events that may occur. I work a flexible, remote job so I am available to tend to your babies as needed! My daily schedule starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m., but I'm flexible to your needs! I have a large, private porch with plenty of potty spots for your baby, as well as a park within a 5 minute walk if that is what your pet needs. My dog, Juniper, will be a great companion for yours!

Michelle & Michael are the ultimate pet sitters for my young dog, Ruby. She clearly receives an abundance of care, love and attention, as her sweet, expressive & energetic personality is in full effect, which only comes out when she is completely comfortable with people. I feel very lucky to have found them, and they are first on my list! Thank you, Michelle & Mike! :)

My dog was so excited to go back to Todd’s for an overnight stay. He had the best time whenever he goes there, gets plenty of walks, lots of attention, and comes home such a happy camper. Todd is a trusted sitter for us and I will continue to book with him whenever I need somewhere for my dog to stay!

Five stars! We were nervous leaving our senior pup over the Fourth of July weekend, but Sudarnah made it so easy. She kept us updated with photos and texts the whole time, was patient with her, and clearly went out of her way to keep her calm and comfortable on walks. Mia came home relaxed and happy. Highly recommend if you need someone trustworthy and attentive. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Mallory was a perfect sitter for our sweet, anxious Murphy. Mallory was very prompt and accommodating at drop off and pick up, and she checked in with us 2x/day while away, just as she said. Murphy seemed to settle in really well, which for a first time with a new sitter is impressive. Highly recommend.

Could not ask for a better sitter! My cat stayed with Chantel for ~9 days and was happy as ever when I picked him up. Chantel was kind, communicative, and flexible during pick-up and drop off. She has a beautiful home and is very knowledgeable about cat health, behavior, and care. When I dropped him off, she showed me all of the toys, tunnels, trees, etc. he would have access to, made sure I was comfortable with his feeding and drinking areas, noted the ways she helps/lets her guests adjust and get comfortable in her home and with her, etc. All throughout, she sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated, and spent lots of quality time with my little guy. At pick-up, she went over detailed notes she had taken over the stay about his behavior, adjustment to her home, eating habits, potential concerns, and more. She also made sure his litter box was clean and all of his supplies were ready to go when I got there. I had never hired a cat sitter before and was unsure about leaving my cat in someone else's home, but could not have found a better person to trust with the task, and absolutely hope Chantel is available the next time I go out of town. I cannot express how nice it was to know my guy was safe, comfortable, and well cared for during my vacation (truly I think it was a lovely vacation for him too)!

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!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Chelsea

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Chelsea on Rover is $60.53 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 4,097 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Chelsea. About 90% of Chelsea sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
