“Where to begin? I’m traditionally a mess when I have to leave my little man to travel for my job. Or should I say I used to be a mess. And then Juliana entered our lives and my stress vanished. Could not have been a better experience. Spoiled our little guy while he was there and keep me in the loop with adorable photos at every step. Very grateful for Rover helping make this connection.”
“George watched our dog over Thanksgiving. He was very responsive leading up to and during the stay. He sent us pictures of her during having a great time. He took her on lots of walks and she seemed well cared for. When we picked her up she was so happy and pumped in a way she typically only is after she has had lots of fun. Will definitely use again and would recommend!”
“Juliana did an awesome job! She was the first sitter for our puppy and we could not be happier with how things went. We will definitely work with her again. She kept us up to date on her activities and kept our little one on schedule and busy. 💕”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Brian and his family are the best when it comes to watching our boy. Our big Golden recently developed a fear of thunderstorms and sure enough, it thundered the last two times Brian watched him. Brian and his family treated our boy like he was there own and comforted him through the storms. We are so grateful.”
“David is clearly such a kind soul who knows and cares a lot about the dogs he works with. My 2 dogs had the pleasure of staying at his home while we went on vacation. He made me feel more than comfortable in his ability to care for my dogs and even asked me a few questions to double check he knew all he needed to know. He was easy to get in touch with, sent me pictures and kept me updated! He was also extremely accommodating with pick up/drop off timing. My dogs came home happy. I would 100% ask David to care for my dogs again. He's great with dogs and quite a pleasure to speak with. 5 Stars!”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“Khaing is an amazing sitter. She did such a great job and out Bentley would love to stay with her again. Very attentive and very communicative. Would definitely use her again. She’s the best.”
“It was such a pleasure leaving our dog overnight with Rachel and her husband. You can tell what dog-lovers they are! Even though it was only for one night, Rachel sent pictures and videos to keep us updated on the goings on of our pup. It set our minds at ease knowing we could enjoy the holiday without worrying. We’ll be sure to use Rachel again!”
“When I first met Laura, I was impressed by how she handled my fearful and sometimes reactive dog. Her calm and confident demeanor and her caring attitude quickly won over Calvin. Within minutes of meeting Laura and her dog, Wally, Calvin was literally eating out of her hands. Laura not only gave me peace of mind during my vacation by sending me photos of Calvin and keeping me updated, but she also made Calvin feel safe and part of her family. I will definitely use Laura's services again!”
“Carly is awesome! We did a 3-night stay and her frequent communication and daily updates as well as photos gave us peace of mind. She was also flexible when our pick-up time ran a little later than expected. Highly recommend her services and will rebook in the future!”
“Loved her! She kept me up to date daily with a photo, video, or comments regarding my dog, Sadie. She was attentive to any concerns I had in the beginning as my dog has food allergies, and she assured me she would follow my instructions regarding her care completely. I will be using her again!”
“Marissa was so wonderful, accommodating and understanding. My plans changed a few times and she was incredibly understanding. She took wonderful care of Basil. It seems like he felt right at home with her. I appreciated the updates and the pictures. Thank you so much Marissa!”
“Patty was extremely thoughtful and sweet to my senior dog for a week stay. I didn't have to worry at all, and he came back nice and tired and happy. He even made a doggie friend during his stay! Plus, she sent me some really great photos of him.”
“Tamikia was great! She sent regular pictures and video updates and let me know how Hazel was doing the whole time. It was a big load off my mind knowing my pup was well taken care of. Book Tamikia today!”
About: I always knew I wanted to work with animals, but it wasn’t until I started working at a kennel that I discovered my true calling: dog training. In September 2023, I made the decision to pursue this path seriously by attending National K-9 Dog Training School in Ohio, where I earned my certification as a professional dog trainer. Now, I’m proud to turn that passion into a career. I’m deeply committed to helping dogs and their owners build strong, respectful relationships, and I love sharing my training methods to make a positive impact on both ends of the leash. I’m trying to get my small business out into the world and taking small steps like this will help me! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I'm available for boarding and weekdays. My schedule with my part time job changes each week but I make sure to let my clients know! I will ALWAYS be talking to your fur baby! They become family once entering this home. I currently live in an apartment that has a designated area to bring your dog to have fun off leash!
“OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”
“We had a terrific experience boarding our dog with Aaron. He was a great communicator, asking good questions about our dog when they met, and then quick and efficient with texts while we were away. He also offered insights into our dog that will be very helpful now that we have him back. Our dog was clearly well cared for and enjoyed his stay, going on car rides, which he loves, and getting special treats and plenty of attention, as well as enjoying a large space to run around in their fenced back yard. We will certainly board again with Aaron next time we need it.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Chester is $51
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chester
Andreah (and her Mother) are Awesome!! Extremely caring and sweet and provided our cherished Buddy a warm and comfortable stay while we were down the shore!! She sent us updates with pictures on a daily basis, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be utilizing her services again! Strongly recommend.
Rocky just spent 4 days with Cinthia and her adorable dog Zoey. He had the best time and was so well taken care of. Cinthia sent me pictures and texts to let me know how he was doing which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and I would use her again.
I boarded my dog with Julia for a week and she was great! She was very kind, communicative, and made sure to send various updates and pictures of Sophie throughout the week. Sophie experienced some paw issues during her stay and Julia kept me informed and even ran out to the pet store to buy a few items that would help with Sophie’s paws. I will definitely keep Julia in mind for any future boarding needs!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Chester
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chester on Rover is $44.4 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 3,258 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.
94% 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 PA 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.
