“We couldn’t have found a better person to leave our 1 yr. Old Goldendoodle with during our first time away from him for 9 days. Caroline always sent daily videos several times a day. She interacts with the dogs in her care and you can see how well they are taken care of by her. She has the perfect set up in her home and yard. She and her husband make a great team. We missed our pup so much and it was nice to have reassurance and see for ourselves how he was doing good in the videos. He was having so much fun we were equally sad and happy when we picked him up. He will definitely be back. We can’t thank Caroline enough for her obvious love and care she has for canines. ❤️”
“I'm so grateful I found Coddy & Byron to take care of my "anxious" pup while I was traveling for work. They gave her extra attention & kept in touch with photos and video to give me peace of mind. Highly recommend them.”
“Catherine has sat my dogs twice, each time for about a week. When we brought them back, they were super excited to see her! Catherine kept the dogs entertained with frequent walks to the park next door and plenty of play time. She paid careful attention to our instructions to reinforce our training. Catherine handled a kerfuffle between our dogs wonderfully, separating them as soon as it happened and attending to their needs right away. She communicated clearly throughout. I highly recommend her, especially if your dog can use some additional socialization!”
“Darcy and Danielle were outstanding sitters for Remy. They were very communicative and paid attention to all the details. I could really tell that Remy got so much love, and he really seemed happy when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend them and I’m looking forward to the next booking with them.”
“This an amazing family. My dog was so well cared for and loved. They sent me many pictures of what she was doing as it was so difficult to not have her with me. They deserve 10 stars!!!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: My 2 daughters and I are an animal-loving home. We have 2 playful cocker spaniel mixes, 3 dog-friendly cats, and 3 horses (at a barn). I work from home, so can provide constant companionship and supervision. My girls are also home for the summer and love playing with all animals. Our yard is over an acre with an invisible fence. I can provide a dog runner line, a long tie-out, or take your dog out on a leash. I can provide daily walks, including to our neighborhood pond if your dog likes the water. I am happy to accommodate any reasonable pet care requests, whatever they may be. I just ask that your dog be vaccinated and friendly with other dogs and kids.
“Deana and her husband were great with my dog! Amazing house with great outdoor areas and their little dog is wonderful. Deana was also very flexible and accommodating for scheduling. True dog lovers - Highly recommend!”
“Karen was simply amazing. She took wonderful care of our dog, Daisy. And we would absolutely have her watch Daisy again. Karen offered Daisy healthy treats throughout her stay (after making sure it was okay with us). She sent pictures and updates everyday. Daisy was often cozy, comfortable, and snuggled up. Overall, it was obvious to us that Karen is a real animal lover. We are so grateful to have found her.”
“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.”
“Brooklyn was great. Sent plenty of pictures. Ammo was a little timid at first. Brooklyn sent me picture and kept me updated on his comfortability progression and it didn't take long. Work recommend her for sure!”
“As usual Mina always takes care of pur pups in the best way. Their family is always protective of our dogs and it reflects. I even think his son gets mad everytime when we pick up our dogs, which is so adorable.”
“Oscar and his family were amazing hosts for our energetic pup. I really appreciated knowing the dogs were enjoying the shady, fenced-in backyard. The daily videos were a great way to check in and know he was having fun. Thanks again!!”
“Zachary was great for the whole experience! It was the first time boarding our new dog, and Zachary came out to meet us and Pepper, answered questions we had, and Pepper seems like he had a great time! Zachary sent pics during our trip, and was fast and easy to communicate with, both leading up to the boarding dates and while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Renee took very good care of Bean for eleven days while my husband and I took a cruise. It was so nice to know Bean had company and was in good hands while we were away. This was my first experience with boarding a cat and the Rover app was a great help. I searched offers in my area, read Renee’s profile and we exchanged information. Bean enjoyed the meet and greet and that sealed the deal. Renee sent pictures and kept us informed. I highly recommend her service.”
“Josiah was great and offered last-minute services when my original plans fell through for zazu. Their family took great care of my boy, sent regular pictures, and he came home happy and healthy!”
“Ariana and Yogi are perfect for boarding my Pfeifer. The three of them always look like they are having such a good time. Yogi and Pfeifer must run and jump all day as Pfeifer slept the entire 2+ hour ride home. Photos are shared throughout the stay. Excellent companionship and human attention in a glorious fenced in yard. First choice for Ann Arbor boarding needs.”
“Christine was amazing with our dog. Everything was very professional! Our dog was happy & clean when we picked her up. We would definitely have our dog stay again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chelsea on Rover is $31.89 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 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 July 2026, there are 709 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.
99% 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.
