“We loved our experience with Caroline. She sends daily, sometimes more, video updates and you can see how much she cares for each dog! Our girl seemed very happy and well taken care of when we picked her up. We will definitely bring her back for any extended care! Thank you Caroline!”
“Catherine was absolutely amazing! My family had a medical procedure done and I had to stay with my husband in the hospital for a few days and she would send me updates and really cared about my family. Also I got lots of cute pictures of my furbaby when I missed him dearly💛💛”
“These guys are honestly some of the best sitters! Dodger ALWAYS loves his time here, and I literally have to drag him back home. On top of that they are extremely flexible on pick up and drop off.”
“Jennifer was a fantastic pet sitter! She send daily updates on how Maple was doing like sleeping on her lap ❤️, it was reassuring to read how much she and her family cared. Thanks so much for your kindness 😊”
“Katie and Kristen were so attentive to Ziggy. They sent alot of pictures, and we could tell Ziggy was getting such great care. Ziggy is normally so happy to come home, but this time we think she kinda missed being at their house!!! Thank you Katie and Kristen!”
“Couldn't have worked out any better. Kelly and Brandon were amazing care givers for Maverick. They made us feel completely comfortable by taking care of our dog in a personable way. We were updated frequently and received photos letting us know all was well. Maverick has a new best friend in Arvon.”
“Zachary was fantastic hosting Spooky for an extended stay. He was very patient with Spooky building up his confidence in his temporary home and sent lots of photos and updates about how he was doing. I can tell from the photos Spooky became quite comfortable with Zachary and in his house. I would definitely request Zachary watch Spooky again.”

“The absolute best!! Nothing but great things to say about Rodney and his care of our 2 big dogs. We appreciated the meet and greet beforehand (signs of a responsible owner) and how he slowly introduced his pack to our dogs instead of all at once. We received simple daily updates, and his responsiveness is always quick. We will be using Rodney for all our care needs.”
“Karen was very loving towards my puppy. She sent regular updates with pictures. She was open to him sleeping in the bedroom as he’s accustomed to at home which I really appreciated. She also shared concerns about his eating and worked on a solution to get him to eat better while away from home. He was a happy pup with her.”
“Ghost had an amazing time with Mariana! She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsive. Mariana provided regular updates and photos, and she even followed Ghost’s puppy schedule perfectly. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their dog!”
“Beth was so good with my 11-year-old dorkie! She responded quickly to my booking request and when I took Zoey over for a pre-meetup, I could tell Zoey already liked Beth. She’s normally a pretty low energy dog, but with Beth, she looked happy and got a little spring in her step! Beth sent me videos and pictures while I was gone and I could tell Zoey was in good hands. With how happy she was, I didn’t think she was going to want to come home with me! Thank you Beth for taking such good care of my baby! I will highly recommend you to everyone looking to board their fur baby!”
“Reneé was great with Lily for a short overnight stay! She took lots of cute photos of her. She even squeezed in a quick walk before our pickup time. Lily will be back!”
“Our dog had a wonderful visit with Barbara and Dirk. They have a great setup for dogs, are friendly, and are good communicators. They even put up with us being later than expected on pickup. We’ll definitely use them again.”
“Laura was amazing! My dog needed some extra love since his foot was injured and she took extra good care of him. She was very communicative and a pleasure to work with.”
“Andrew took great care of my two dogs during a long weekend trip I took. I’m immensely grateful. I got update photos and prompt communication about my pups the whole time. Thanks Andrew!”
“Ariana is the only person outside of my own mom who I can leave my Viva with and drive away without the slightest worry- knowing that she will be happy, loved, and so well taken care of. This was our second stay with Ariana and her sweet pup Yogi and I always love getting picture updates throughout the day of lots of play time and cuddles. Viva had some tummy problems during the stay and Ariana went above and beyond to take phenomenal care of her and calm my anxiety while I was across the country. We are so lucky to know her!”
“Kayden was great with our dogs. He gave us updates and sent pictures while we were gone. Our dogs seemed happy and to be enjoying playing with Kayden's 2 dogs. We will definitely be using him again the next time we need dog boarding.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Mariana and Denys were amazing!! This was the first time we boarded our 7 year old dog, so we were naturally nervous about the process. But, Mariana and Denys made the experience so peaceful for us. They sent us updates with photos daily, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was well taken care of. Overall, we will definitely be boarding with Mariana and Denys again!! ♥️
Our pups had the best time ever! They were well-cared for, loved on and given so much attention while with Mariana! Mariana made it so easy to book, meet up and provided excellent communication while we were gone. She is truly a gem! I highly recommend her!!! We are already setting up our next booking.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chelsea on Rover is $32.1 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 688 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.
97% 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 MI 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.
