“Our dog Sam was so spoiled by Maria and her family on his stay. He had such a great time with all the ladies. They are wonderful!! Definitely will keep in contact for any future services. Thank you very much!”

“Andi's week long stay with Lyanne was wonderful! I got daily updates with pictures and videos, showing her being her happy, goofy self. I could tell she was relaxed and enjoyed the puppy play dates on the occasions Lyanne had other dogs over for doggy daycare. When we got home, I worried Andi might exhibit some behavior change bc this was our first multi-day trip w/out her- ever! But she was her same old sweet, happy self. This was the biggest confirmation to me that Lyanne knows how to ensure dogs are safe, comfortable, and happy in her care. Thank you again for a great experience- we will be booking with you for future trips! :)”

“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave Cloud while we were away! You went above and beyond—keeping us updated the whole time and sending the sweetest pictures that truly put our mind at ease. It was clear he was in great hands. Til next time!”

“Maryline was excellent. She really treated Ariel as one of her own. Ariel fell in love with her and her family and felt like home. She kept us continually updated with photos twice a day. I would definitely use her again. I would highly recommend her.”
“Bruno had such a good stay with Donna and we felt completely comfortable leaving him somewhere new because of our previous visit and her great communication! He keeps running to the car wagging his tail since returning home- I think he is hoping to return for a visit!”

“Jomini and her family took wonderful care of our sometimes anxious little dachshund mix. She sent us pictures and updates every day. I recommend her and wound use her again to host our dog”


“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.”

“Dew is the best of the best! From our first meet & greet to everything in between, Dew was responsive, flexible, and loved our pup as if he was her own. Our Bucky is quite the energetic pup and she went above and beyond to assure he was taken care of in just the right way. We can’t thank her more and will be booking with her again soon.”

“Clementine had a great stay with Gabe! I was kept up to date the entire weekend on how she was doing. She got along great with his pups and my fiancée and I were able to enjoy our weekend away.”

“We just picked up our dogs after returning from our first longer trip away from them. They seem happy and healthy and clearly loved Leah! She was great at keeping us posted with pictures and videos - our dogs appeared super relaxed, at ease and comfortable in all of them and it made me feel so much better while away. I felt like I could just relax myself and enjoy my trip knowing they were having a great time and being well taken care of. Thank you Leah!!”


“Cici was wonderful with Ruby! I had another rover fall through and Cici worker with me to find a solution. We were able to have a very slow and steady meet and greet. It gave Ruby a ton of confidence for the stay. All the updates about how my pup was fitting in with her family were great. She handled the pup well. Would highly recommend”

“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”

“Juliet was treated very well and was happy and energetic when we picked her up. Barbara is very responsive to our emerging needs for pet sitting and gave many updates while Juliet was at her home. Highly recommend Barbara for you pets vacations.”

“Kimberly took excellent care of my little cavalier puppy Rudy🐶. It was his first time away from me and she updated me with messages and pictures. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing he was well taken care of with kindness & love. He bonded with her & I will definitely be requesting her services in the future!”

About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping their space clean, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel right at home. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I would give my own! I love making sure animals feel safe loved and comfortable. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routines while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I want every pet to feel comfortable and safe in their own environment while their owner is away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their spaces clean, and make sure they always have fresh water. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send updates and pictures to keep owners informed. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved and well cared for, just like I would care for my own dog.
“Nayeli is an amazing choice for watching your pooch. When you travel, the last thing you want is to worry about your dog while away. So glad we found Nayeli! Our yellow lab will be spending a lot of time with her, as we travel quite a bit.”

“We couldn't be happier with our experience with Sandra. It was our first time leaving our dog with anyone, so we definitely felt nervous, but meeting Sandra I immediately felt at ease. We left our pup with her for one day and then again for 3 nights. Sandra sent frequent updates, videos, and pics. I could tell both times picking our dog up that she was happy and had been well cared for. I will definitely use Sandra in the future and highly recommend her.”

“Rich was amazing! This was our first time with Rich and also the first time my pup stayed with anyone outside of family. My pup has pretty bad separation anxiety and Rich did such an amazing job at making him feel comfortable. He makes it a point to make sure all the dogs are feeling comfortable and getting along. My pup warmed up to the situation quickly and seemed to have a great time. He offers to send pics/videos as much or as little.. i of course opted for as much and I was updated every day throughout the day! I traveled from Brooklyn and it feels well worth it. Will continue to use him as my dogs watcher!”

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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
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.
