“I did not want to put my dogs in a kennel and was looking for a quiet home for the dogs to stay. Maria provided the perfect place for them. A quiet home on a dead end street where they were given long walks and personal attention during their stay. Maria provided video and pictures to us during their stay. I plan on using Maria again on our next vacation and would recommend her.”
“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 was awesome and took excellent care of my pup while we were traveling. She had loads of play time, yummy healthy snacks and plenty of cuddles. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for above and beyond care, loads of knowledge on dogs and a very proactive and professional approach to providing excellent care.”
“Gretchen took excellent care of my dog while I was away. He seemed very happy during his stay. I also received daily photos and updates about how he was doing. I'll definitely use Gretchen's services again.”
“Brittany was reliable and timely in communicating. Our fur babies had a good time with her and they came home feeling good. She was polite to interact with. We will be using her again if we need a sitter!”
“Jeff took excellent care of my girls! Drip off was efficient and my dogs were immediately comfortable. I received pictures every day to see they were happy and enjoying their stay. Pick up was well organized. I’m so happy we found Jeff on River! My girls will definitely stay with him again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. Mildred and her family treated my dog as one of their own for the few days that he was there and when I picked him up, I felt like I was part of the family as well. I got photos regularly and I knew that everything went perfect. I will 100% book again. I can tell that my dog made new friends so even if I don't need to board him overnight again, I know that I can drop him off to hang out with his new friends. I prefer this option over boarding/daycare at a facility where your pets may not get the same level of attention and care. 10/10 Recommend!”
“Volha was GREAT!! She provided daily updates and pictures while my dog was with her. She made sure my dog stayed on the same schedule while I was away, which is much appreciated! My dog had a great time with her and really loved her stay. Volha and her family are a pleasure and I definitely will leave my Missy girl with her anytime I’m away! Thanks again Volha!”
“Donna was great. She treated my dog like he was her own. I felt extremely confident that Guinness was being very well taken care of. Guinness came home very happy but tired from all the fun he had playing with Donna's dogs. I will definitely use Donna and her services again. I'm very happy. I found her thank you so much.”
“Jadyn was so so great with my girls! this was a last-minute request and she helped us out. No problem and I got two very happy very tired puppies when I picked them up, could not recommend her more for any of your doggy daycare needs.”
“Olive Oyl had the best time with Annie, she got to play and spend lots of time outdoors! It was wonderful receiving photos and updates from Annie throughout the stay, felt like we got to be a part of it as well! Thank you so much for welcoming her into your home!”
“Natasha and Hamir were wonderful sitters for Lino. They took the time and care to listen to our requests and instructions, and updated us daily on how he was doing, including photos. We could tell he was being cared for and he was really happy. Lino can be human-selective and indifferent to other dogs, and Natasha and Hamir respected that and live in an area where there is a lot of space from both possible triggers. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again for boarding!”
“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!”
“Sonia is an amazing dog sitter! Very kind, caring and responsible. Treated my dog like her own. Lives in a beautiful neighborhood to walk dogs. Very easy to talk to and arrange dates and times. Sent pictures every day. My dog made new friends and had a nice vacation with Sonia and her family.”
“So great!! Very responsive and hung out with my pup till she went back to sleep when she woke up late at night, and sent me lots of pictures! I would happily leave my dog here again!”
“Daniela took exceptional care of my fur-baby, keeping me up to date with beautiful pictures and messages. I recommend her 100% 😀 Thank you Daniela, you are the pet sitter I always needed.”
“Leah was amazing and patient with Lewis (10 month old English bulldog) and provided reassuring photo and video updates. She also gave him the opportunity to play with other dogs which he loves. A true dog whisperer!”
“Our little guy, Wrigley, had an absolutely wonderful stay with Judy and Steven! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming environment for their pup. As a beagle, Wrigley usually hates being left behind—but I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. He got the royal treatment with pup cups, plenty of love and attention, and he even made a new friend in their sweet dog, Ginger. Thank you, Judy and Steven, for making Wrigley feel so at home and for giving me such peace of mind!”

Our Bruno had a wonderful time the week he spent with Elizabeth and Joe. He came home happy and relaxed. He’s 8 years old and does not like other dogs, so we really appreciated the attention they gave him and the frequent photo updates. Definitely will want to have him stay here again.
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!
I am beyond thrilled to have found Stefany! This was Penny’s second stay with her, and I can finally travel again with total peace of mind. Knowing that Penny isn't just 'looked after,' but is truly safe and loved makes all the difference in the world. Stefany is a gem, and Penny will definitely be back. Thank you for treating her like family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chelsea on Rover is $49.95 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 747 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.
96% 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 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.
