“Shuling was amazing! She sent us pictures and videos the whole time and made it easier to be apart from our pup. Bailey had a great time playing with the host’s dog and family. Honestly, it looked like a summer camp for the doggies :) 100% recommend her and will use her services again. Jake and Ana”
“We were very pleased with our experience with Lindsay! As first time ROVER customers, she graciously addressed all of our questions and made it a seamless process. Our dog absolutely loved her time there with new playmates. She seemed comfortable and content and was obviously well cared for. We would not hesitate to book with Lindsay in the future and we highly recommend her as a ROVER care provider.”
“Kelly and Maurice were great! This was my first time boarding Smokey and they made him feel like he was apart of the family from all the pictures. He got to interact with other dogs and that is something I've been wanting. I'll definitely be contacting them again to watch him.”
“Celena was great with our 7 month old pup, Ace! He had so much fun at her house. She sent us many pictures and videos several times a day and for all of them he was playing and have the best time with her dog and her family. We would definitely book Celena again!”
“Being as though this was first experience reserving a pet sitter, Mady was fantastic. Very patient, plenty of communication and photos of my pupson. Very happy with our choice and I look forward to working with Mady in the future.”
“Katie did a wonderful job watching Frankie for us for a long weekend! She sent regular pictures and updates and we could tell Frankie was very happy at Katie's. Would absolutely recommend Katie for any future boarding needs!”
“Moose had the best weekend with Shelby and her pup! It’s always nerve wracking when you leave your pet for the weekend but Shelby made us feel so comfortable by sending photos and treating Moose like her own. Highly recommend her to watch your fur baby!”
“They took great care of our dog! I appreciated the updates, and he enjoyed playing with their dogs during the week. Thanks for taking great care of our Max!”
About: I've always been the go-to gal for my friends and family who need care for their pets. I've made many furry friends over the years. I'm a freelance writer with lots of freedom to come and go, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you need pet care on short notice, I'll do my best to accommodate. Your pet can enjoy the comfort of its own home while I come over and cater to their needs. We'll become the best of friends!
“Marliez took amazing care of Ozzie. He walked with her Husky Wolf several times a day receiving plenty of needed exercise. Oz was received as part of her family. I could tell from the photos he was really enjoying his stay and looking forward to go back. Marliez paid attention to the nuance of my dog's antics to adjust to him. She is a wonderful sitter”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
“Our pets felt right at home with Janice and Stalio. They were so welcoming, helpful and accommodating with our boys. They kept us up to date daily with pictures and messages and even helped us out with making them their food because we miscounted the amount we sent. They provided amazing care and we look forward to rebooking with them in the future.”
“Danielle took great care of my dog while I was away! Sadie was happy and well cared for when I picked her up. Danielle was responsive and sent me regular updates so I knew Sadie was happy and safe. I highly recommend Danielle!!”

Lindsay is amazing. She took such great care of my dog this weekend. From the moment I met her, she put my mind at ease that Comet would be well taken care of. I got several updates throughout the weekend that confirmed just that. If you need a dog sitter in our area, I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future when I go away.
We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our dog, Murphy, during our wedding weekend. Murphy was our ring bearer and Melanie brought him to and from the venue for us. She sent us pictures and videos of him enjoying play time and went above and beyond to make sure Murphy was ready for his ring bearer duties. When we picked him up, he could not have been a happier puppy! This was the first time he ever spent away from family and Melanie was the perfect option. Thank you for making our baby feel right at home. I know he loved his time with you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chester on Rover is $31.08 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 2,348 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chester. 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.
92% of Chester 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 Chester 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 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 favorite 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.
You and your Chester 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 MD 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.
