“Caroline was a wonderful boarder and sitter! Our pug Polly had a great weekend with her and the other dogs. She sent us updates and videos throughout the weekend which we loved. We will be looking to book with her again next time!”
“Jennifer was an amazing sitter. I was nervous leaving Mochi for the first time, but Jennifer took great care of her. She sent pictures and videos everyday, and I could tell Mochi was having so much fun. Mochi enjoyed having other dogs to play with. Would definitely recommend and rebook with Jennifer.”
“Our 1.5 y.o. pup spent 10 days with Mariana and came back happy, healthy, and knowing a few new commands and tricks. Totally trust her and will request her again when we need boarding.”
“They were so comforting and took amazing care of my dog, Mila. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated with pictures and messages, which meant a lot. I will absolutely use them again! Thank you Barbara and Dirk.🐾🐾”
“Jaimee took excellent care of my dog Duna while I went to Colorado for a long weekend. She was easy to work with vis-a-vis setting up drop off and pick up and provided regular updates and pictures of Duna's time with her. Duna is a bit quirky but she seemed happy and relaxed in Jaimee's care. I recommend Jaimee without reservations.”

“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!”
“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!”
“This is our third time having Anne as a sitter, and as always, we were left with peace of mind that our dog Sakari was left in the best of care! We received updates throughout the day and night with plenty of pictures and videos of her stay. We love Anne and are already looking at future dates to book her services again. The best sitter around!”
“Maria took care of our dog when we had a last minute company thing. She made sure to ask questions, see if our dog needed anything special. She sent pictures and communicated with us. They took good care of our dog!”
“Monica and Razman took great care of our dog on her first one-night stay. Monica asked lots of good questions during the meet and great. Our dog had a fun time playing with their dog. Their house is small but clean and well equipped for dogs. They sent fun photos and videos, which we always appreciate.”
“They took such good care of Akira. I think Akira didn’t want to leave. ☺️ Linda kindly sent pictures to us with daily updates too. I highly recommend Linda and will book her again.❤️”
About: Dogs have always been a part of our family, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. Over the past 15 years, we’ve shared our home with four dogs, including caring for three into their senior years through age-related and chronic health conditions. We’ve also raised a litter of puppies, giving us experience with young dogs and the extra patience, attention, and consistency they require. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. We have a fully private fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our three dog-loving children have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. While we’re not looking to add another dog to our family permanently, we’d love to open our home to yours. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, family environment where every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. Potty breaks, outdoor play, walks (if requested), feeding, medication, and plenty of affection are all easily incorporated into my schedule. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, so they won’t just be supervised—they’ll be part of our family’s day. Whether your pup loves to play, relax, or simply be near people, they’ll receive plenty of attention, companionship, and love while they’re with us. I also make it a priority to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for during their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Because I work from home, your pet will have supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I take the time to learn each dog’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the routine they’re used to at home. Our home has a fully private fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and all dogs are monitored while outside. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of affection, and I treat each guest as if they were one of my own. I also understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, low-stress environment. Throughout your dog’s stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time.
“David was great with watching my dog, Pauly! Pauly would say so too if he could—haha. He was super responsive and flexible with my busy schedule. He sent lots of pics and updates, which I was very appreciative of. Would definitely recommend!”
“Dee was amazing with Kosi! 🐾 I really appreciated all the updates and pictures while I was away, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She was also accommodating when my travel plans changed and I needed to adjust his pickup. Kosi seemed happy and comfortable with her, and I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️”

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.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Chelsea home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.

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.
