“Maryline was my favorite Rover sitter yet, and I've had some great ones! She and her sweet family welcomed Olive with open arms. I got cute pictures and videos from Maryline everyday, and I joked that Olive wasn't going to want to come home. I will definitely call Maryline first next time I need a sitter!”

“Very pleased to add another glowing review: this was the first stay for our energetic young cat Bella w/ Maria, her caring family, and resident cats and canines. Maria has a particularly good arrangement and process for gradually acclimating guest cats to a residence, especially one with other felines. As the only pet in our household, Bella's very curious about other cats. The updates and photos show that she was enjoying the run of the house within the first couple days and getting along with the other cats and dogs. It says a lot about the family's skill in creating a comfortable atmosphere for their own pets and boarders alike. Highly recommended.”

About: I have cared for dogs my entire life, including my own pets and those of family members. My experience ranges from energetic 8-week-old puppies to senior dogs, and from tiny teacup Yorkies to Labs, Newfoundlands, and Great Danes. I’m comfortable administering medication and adjusting care to each dog’s age, size, routine, and personality. Although I’m new to boarding through Rover, I work from home full-time, so your dog will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. Dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture, roam comfortably throughout the house, and enjoy supervised playtime in my fully fenced yard. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely at home while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so caring for your pet can easily fit into my daily routine. Dogs will have frequent opportunities for potty breaks, supervised time in the fenced yard, indoor play, rest, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Feeding, medication, walks, and bedtime routines can be adapted to match what your pet is accustomed to at home. Because I am home throughout the day, your pet will have consistent companionship and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. I want every pet staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, and part of the household. Dogs are welcome to roam throughout the home, relax on the furniture, and enjoy supervised playtime in my fully fenced yard. I follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, activity, sleeping arrangements, and household rules so that the pet’s routine remains as familiar as possible. I also adjust care to each dog’s age, energy level, size, and personality—whether that means active play for a puppy, companionship for an adult dog, or a quieter and more supportive routine for a senior.

“Leah was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Pepi! She accepted a last-minute request without hesitation, which was such a relief and truly appreciated. From the start, her communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. Throughout Pepi’s stay, she sent pictures and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. It was obvious she was attentive and genuinely caring. When I picked Pepi up, he was happy, well cared for, and didn’t appear stressed at all — which says everything about the environment she provides. I’m so grateful for Leah’s flexibility and kindness, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Pepi again. Highly recommend!”

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.

About: I have a very special connection with all animals and will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! I have a lifetime of experience with cats and a few years of experience with dogs, namely raising and training my own dog from ~2 months old. He’s the sweetest, happiest pup and he is very loved! I work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your pet, whether that’s walking them, playing with them or bringing them to appointments!! I don’t have a fenced in yard but have plenty of space to walk and play with your dog outside (or inside!). I can crate the dog if necessary, and my puppy is extremely friendly and welcoming with new dogs!

“David was THE BEST!! I left my dog in David's care for two weeks and I never had a single moment of worry or doubt. He was a thoughtful, dedicated sitter who went above and beyond. My dog Charlie has trauma/aggression issues that make it hard for me to feel safe leaving him with a sitter, but David was extremely attentive and extremely careful. And when my dog got finicky with anxiety and didn't want to touch his meals, David went the extra mile with treats and enticements to keep him eating regularly. Charlie was in the best hands around. Highly recommended!!”

“Theresa and Michael are wonderful cat sitters, true pet lovers who took care of Mr Soots for me in every way possible. From cuddles and love to pictures of Soots playing and being his cheeky self, I could see that my cat felt so at home and comfortable with Theresa and Michael right from day one. I would recommend their cat sitting services to anyone. Fantastic people and wonderful hosts for pets.”

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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Chelsea

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chelsea on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 729 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.
