We truly found the best care for our dog Sully with Deanna. His care was second to none, she kept us updated with messages & photos & you could just see how relaxed he was. We cannot wait to rebook with her in the future for Sully!

Renita and Jerry are wonderful people who clearly love dogs and love taking care of them! We left Joey with them for over a week, which felt like a really long time, but Joey settled in quickly and seemed to really enjoy his stay. He was well cared for, exercised regularly, spoiled and loved, which was totally fine with us! She sent pictures every day of some of the things Joey was up to. This really put our minds at ease knowing he was happy and being cared for. We would highly recommend Renita to look after your pup! Thanks Renita!

Rebecca took great care of Nash during his stay and was very flexible and accommodating for some of his extra needs following dental surgery. It is clear that Nash got lots of exercise and was well loved during his stay. We would highly recommend Rebecca and her family :)

Ruck was an amazing sitter for my dog Bailey while I was travelling for a week. His dog Blue and Bailey were great buddies and he was beyond accomodating with my last minute request for a sitter after my plans fell through with another sitter. He sent updates throughout my trip and when I got back late from the airport to a dead car battery he was able to bring Bailey home to me that night! I would highly recommend him to anyone and I hope to be able to leave Bailey in his capable hands the next time I’m travelling 🙂

About: We have a 13 lbs Shih Tzu who gets along great with most dogs. He is well loved and we would treat your dog the same. I work 8-3 but am off during the summer/ weekdays and holidays. Your dog would have lots of outdoor time and would be well cared for. My dog isn’t crated most days but is able to be. I would prefer to crate both dogs until the 2 became use to each other.

About: I’m a cat-only Rover sitter offering both boarding and drop-in visits in Bedford. I’ve been a cat owner for over 3 years, and I truly understand that cats need patience, consistency, and a calm environment to feel safe. I respect each cat’s personality and boundaries — whether they’re affectionate, independent, or shy. I don’t force interaction, and I follow your cat’s usual routine as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, litter box cleaning, and check-ins, and I’m home regularly to provide consistent care, monitoring, and calm companionship. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a quiet, clean, cat-only environment with regular feeding, litter box cleaning, and gentle companionship based on each cat’s comfort level. In my client’s home, I focus on feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, checking on behavior and appetite, and sharing photo updates. I always respect a cat’s boundaries and prioritize safety, cleanliness, and consistency.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my household since I was a baby. I have experience with dog sitting and walking dogs, for family and friend aswell. I also have a yellow lab who’s almost 2. I’m a full time shift worker, I have plenty of time on day 4 days off. I have time for walks as well as 3 night for inhome boarding. I love to be outside as much as possible for my days off. Very flexible with following your dogs needs. I work with your dog to provide the most comfort for them. Following basic commands on walks, getting familiar with how comfortable they are with new surroundings. I want your dog to feel welcomed in my space, and to feel safe when going on a walk.

About: I have my own 5 year old, 18lb Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix named Ruby. We love to be outside and playing at the nearby green space. I’m currently not back at work until August 28th so I am available 24/7. Starting September 3rd, I am home daily at 3:30 from work and available to do dog walks and house visits Monday-Friday. Weekends available all day/evening for boarding, walking, and/or visits. I have a fairly large home with one 18lb friendly and playful dog ( Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso). She loves to play and we go for walks around the neighborhood and to a near-by green space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chester on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 147 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chester. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Chester 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 favourite hang-out spots in your Chester

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
