“Maria takes such great care of our little Cardamom (Cardi). We are so happy to have found her. She is easy to communicate with and clearly loves animals. Someone is always home which is particularly great for Cardi because she gets anxious when she's alone. Thank you, Maria, for all that you do!!”
“I recently had Cherissa watch over my mini Goldendoodle, Sofia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first interaction, she was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. Cherissa and her family took the time to get to know Sofia’s routine, preferences, and any special needs, which made me feel totally at ease. While I was away, she provided regular updates—including photos and messages—which really reassured me that my pet was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Cherissa and her family to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care. I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“David is my go to sitter for my dog. He is amazing and always so accommodating. He is so knowledgeable about dogs and I feel safe leaving my dog with him. I know that Kali has a great time whenever she stays with him.”
“I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone that needs boarding for their pets. She treated our puppy Storm like she was one of her own. She sent us pictures of Storm having a great time and assured us that she was playing the entire time she was there. When we picked her up she was clearly happy and exhausted. We will definitely be using Brittany again in the future.”
“Catherine was great. Duke enjoyed being with her. She walked him and took great care of him. She updated us all through the day and sent photos. We will ask her to take care of him again.”
“Celina was great. She sent photos and updates and Mango seemed to have a great time. She was flexible and responsive about timing, and everything was so easy and pleasant. Thanks Celina!”
“Mario was absolutely wonderful. Kind, friendly, and such genuine care for my dog. It was so reassuring to receive pictures of my pup every day and seeing how happy he was. I would definitely recommend Mario and will most certainly request his services again!”
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Starting with dogs, cats, pigs, cows, goats and fish. Caring for a pet builds patience, empathy, and unconditional love. In addition to caring for my personal pets I also help take care of dogs with our neighbors before and at work with one dog and two cats. I’m currently working part time after school hours Monday to Thursday so basically free during the day and can work all day Friday plus weekend if needed but it really depends on the time or day you need I will accommodate. I have a small backyard and extra room which we normally call sunroom for now with one of my dogs that can accompany your dog. I can easily crate your dog as well if needed. I have one in my house that my dog stopped using for a while.
“Annie takes a special interest in your dog. You can tell right away that she has been working with dogs all her life. She is caring and has thought through the what your dog needs during their stay. I really appreciate having this connection in an area where I may need future stays for my labradoodle.”

“First time using a Rover, Richard made us feel very at ease and welcomed. Zeven our Goldendoodle seemed to have had a good time and we appreciated the photo up dates a couple of times during his stay. We will definitely use Richard and Karen again next time we are in the area and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone visiting West Point with their dog.”
“Patricia and Jazlynn are wonderful and took extreme care when watching our dog Citrine, both times he stayed with them. We highly recommend their services, There is no one we trust more when watching our dog. They make sure to send you tons of photos and keep you updated with how your fur friend is doing. Great communication. Very kind. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Megen took great care of our dog Lotta. She has a fenced in backyard which was great so our dog was outside a lot and played with the other dogs there. Easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
“I can not say enough good things about Chloe!! This was our first time leaving Pinta since we adopted her, and I was anxious to say the least. Chloe made me feel completely at ease about leaving her. She was great with communicating how Pinta was doing and sent a lot of pictures of our girl having a blast. So thankful to have found a place that I'll feel comfortable leaving our Pinta girl!”
“Barbara did a great job taking care of our older dog while we were out of town for over a week. She went out of her way to make sure our dog felt comfortable, followed all our food and meds instructions, and was great about keeping us updated.”
“Sandra was amazing with our dog Lola while my family and I were on vacation! She was incredibly kind and on top of everything. She sent us pictures almost every day, including photos of Lola relaxing in her room, which really helped us feel at ease. Whenever I asked how Lola was doing, she replied right away. She treated Lola like part of her family, and Lola clearly felt comfortable and happy there. We’ll definitely be booking with Sandra again. Highly recommended!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Chelsea was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dog and made us feel comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was kind, reliable and caring throughout the entire stay. We really appreciate everything she did and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would definitely book with Chelsea again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
We are always so grateful and appreciative knowing that our dear golden retriever is SO loved in your home and is surrounded by entertainment with their sweet dog Matilda. There’s honestly no other dog we’ve seen our dog play with more than with Matilda. Truly can’t recommend Belen enough as a loving caretaker. Thanks as always for taking such good care of Lily, Belen!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Chelsea is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 724 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Chelsea can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
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.
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 , 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 .
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 NY 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.
