About: Lifelong animal lover! I have always loved owning and caring for a variety of pets - of all ages and sizes: dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, lizards. I can visit, play with, walk or sit pets in your house or mine, overnights are an option. I currently have a full time M-F day job but am available most evenings and am fairly flexible on weekends. Overnights throughout the week will be depending on expectations of care and time for your fur baby with weekends being more open. In your home, I will follow your pets routine as you lay out for me. In my home, I currently only have a gecko lizard at the moment so have an option for visiting furry friends as well.

Renita and her husband were so wonderful to my pup, Wrigley. I loved having updates with pictures and videos throughout the day, as he hasn’t been without us much and we were worried how he would be. It was reassuring to see how comfortable he was and they made him feel right at home. I also love that they only take on one dog at a time, so I know he’s getting their full attention. I would absolutly book with them again!

About: I own a small doggy daycare and occasional boarding business. Along with caring for people’s canine companions over the last 14 years, I have trained and trailed multiple dogs in many conformation, sporting and obedience events. We live on a hobby farm with a mixed animals who I also enjoy caring for. I use postive reinforcement methods with all of our animals and believe that a relationship built on trust is the best training tool! I am an animal lover and my passion is Dogs 💕 I look forward to meeting you and your canine family member(s)! I am a part time stay at home mom and a part time doggy daycare operator! My life revolves around caring for kids and animals (shhh don’t tell my kids but I enjoy the animal part best!). Pet care is my life! My schedule is flexible other than Tuesday and Thursday when I have a yard full of dogs! We have 100 acres of wooded trails that I take the dogs for walks (leashed or offleash) on and a fully fenced backyard for potty breaks and playtime when the weather is fine! Weekends are more busy with my children than during the week. Some dates may be unavailable if we are away, if I confirm that I am available to care for your dog it means I will be home (or close to home) while your dog is in my care. Other than Tuesdays and Thursdays my daily routine varies, we can have a conversation about how my days will look when your dog is in my care. Safety is my main priority when dogs are in my care. I have recently re-certified my canine first aid training in April 2026. After 14 years of dog care and caring for my own animals, I try to manage the animals in my care in the safest way possible (without putting them in bubble wrap)! I believe that it is importang for our canine friends to have freedom and fun but I have processes and rules in place to try and keep everyone safe AND happy! My fenced yard has two double gated entires, dogs are always on a leash unless they have spent a significant time with me and are showing me that they have a reliable recall. When dogs are unattended in my home or the daycare building they are always crated (separated) and crated at night. Dogs who show any human or dog aggression will not be permitted to stay with me.

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.

My dog can be nervous and anxious with new people, but she had the best weekend with Roselyne and her dog! Not only is their home perfect for the dogs to play, but she provided Nova with extraordinary care. She sent frequent updates, which I appreciated so much while I was away. She was always on top of communication and I immediately felt comfortable leaving Nova in her care. I would definitely recommend Roselyne and I will be bringing Nova back to her my next weekend away! :)

About: What sets me apart is the calm, structured, home environment I provide. I only take 2–3 small to medium dogs at a time, so your dog gets real attention—not a crowded, chaotic setting. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks, plus I’m home often so dogs aren’t left alone for long periods. I focus on keeping dogs relaxed, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m experienced with: dogs who need a quieter space Crate training (I have a large crate available if preferred) Multi-dog supervision with safe introductions and monitoring Basic routine consistency (feeding, walks, rest times) Inside, dogs have cozy spots to relax, and I keep things clean and organized. I also send regular photo updates, so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is simple: your dog feels like they’re staying in a safe, loving home—not a kennel. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I own a local business that is fully staffed, which allows me to be home most of the day. I’m not tied to a 9–5 schedule, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My routine includes regular outdoor time in my fully fenced yard, walks, feeding on your dog’s schedule, and plenty of relaxed indoor time. Because I’m home so often, dogs are rarely left alone and can settle into a calm, low-stress environment. I’ve built my schedule specifically to support pet care, so your dog isn’t just being “fit in”—they’re part of my daily routine and receive consistent, attentive care from morning to evening. I provide personalized, in-home care designed to give each dog a calm, safe, and comfortable experience—very different from a high-volume or kennel-style setting. I intentionally limit bookings to just 2–3 small to medium dogs at a time, so every dog receives focused attention and consistent supervision. Care in my home is structured around your dog’s routine, including daily walks, regular time in my fully fenced backyard, and relaxed indoor living in a clean, cozy space. Dogs are treated like part of the household, with access to comfortable lounging areas and a low-stress environment where they can settle in naturally. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach to introductions and group dynamics, ensuring dogs are compatible and comfortable. I closely monitor behavior and can provide separation or crating if preferred, always prioritizing safety and your dog’s individual needs. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone and receive consistent care, attention, and supervision from morning through evening. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to offer a premium, home-based experience where your dog feels secure, relaxed, and genuinely cared for—not just looked after.

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: Raised a loyal dog for 13 years—well-versed in canine care, training, and emotional needs. - Cared for adorable rabbits and energetic hamsters, understanding small pets’ unique habits and needs. - Though a proud "dog mom," I’m also a “cat enthusiast”! From litter box mastery to playtime tricks As a stay-at-home mom with a part-time job, my schedule is quite flexible. I’m home most of the day, which means I have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and love they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. 🔒 Safety, Trust & Environment When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and follow the pet’s routine closely. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I double-check doors, gates, and feeding instructions, and I always clean up after myself. Trust and communication matter to me—I’ll keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet won’t just get care—they’ll get companionship. 🐾💕

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Chester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chester 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 155 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.
