“Great communication at all stages. Asked all the right questions so we were reassured before the stay. Nice quiet, clean home. Followed our instructions and won our timid girl over. Very much recommended”
“Maestro had the best 2 day holiday ever! He was really spoilt by Sarah - and her family! He had lots of walks and a lovely trip out. Sarah sent us lots of messages and photos so we weren't at all concerned about leaving him! He looked really happy in all the photos and came away ready for a good sleep! Thank you, Sarah ! You enabled us to be able to enjoy my birthday trip to the zoo without worrying about Maestro!”
“Tom and his family were amazing from start to finish. They have been so accommodating! Skye was very well looked after and Tom sent daily updates which put my mind at ease. When collecting she didn't want to leave! This just shows how much of a good time she had while there!”
“10/10 I was so nervous about leaving my boy whilst I went on holiday but my mind was put at ease! Couldn’t recommend Sinem and her partner enough! Regularly updated with texts and pictures! She was fab and will be using her again!”
“Diesel had a fabulous time and was soo well taken care of, I received pup dates with photos and videos, This was my first time going away and leaving him in a family home , I couldn’t recommend Artur and Wioleta highly enough and anytime I go away now I will definitely be leaving Diesel with them, A massive Thank you to both of you xx”
“Thanks for looking after him so well. Hes got a lot of energy and can find it hard to settle but you made him feel at home. Great comunication, loved seeing the photos and videos and knowing he was happy there.”
“Sinead and Matt had our Ruby (7yo high energy Staffy) for a long stay while we went on our honeymoon over the festive period. We haven’t been away from her for more than a couple of days before, but the whole experience was great and comforting - from the original meet and greet, to getting updates/pictures and videos daily about how she was getting on. She can be a bit of a handful at times getting excited/reactive but the videos showed she had settled in really well, bonded with the family like she was at home, which meant we could relax and enjoy our honeymoon knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be booking again in the future for any other holidays etc. I’m sure Ruby would appreciate more cuddles off Matt :) Thank you very much for a pleasant experience.”
“Samantha and her family were amazing! Great communication throughout organising the pet sitting and while our sausage dog Rupert was staying with them. We received daily photos and updates of how Rupert was getting on. We got lots of photos of Rupert hanging out with the family and he got to play with their dog Roxy. I can’t fault Samantha at all. Highly recommend Samantha and her family :)”
“Samantha was great. We met up before to ensure our dogs got on well, and she put our minds at rest that she was both competent and capable of looking after our 8 month old puppy. She also helped out at short notice when I messed up the dates.”
“Oli and Kinga couldn't have been better hosts for my two pups. Treating them like their own, they showered them with cuddles and playtime throughout their stay. They provided regular updates which was really reassuring given it was my pups first boarding experience. Couldn't recommend highly enough and my two are already looking forward to their next visit!”
“Alan, Hil and their son took excellent care of our dog Honey for a week. We got regular updates with lots of pictures and videos. Honey always looked like she was having the best time. They provided lots of mental and physical enrichment for her. They took her out on lots of walks and trips out to the forest and river. They treated her like a part of their family. I wouldn't hesitate to have them look after Honey again in future and will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: I’ve been a reliable dog sitter for friends, family, and have always had dogs in the house since I was little! I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, or simply relaxing with company, I'm happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel comfortable and happy 😊 I work from home as a freelancer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. I can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My flexible routine means I can adapt to your pet's schedule and ensure they receive reliable, attentive care while you're away. I will always follow the owner's instructions carefully to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I also have a large fenced in garden with lots of open space for them to play and roam, as well as being next to lots of walking areas. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Mike was absolutely wonderful with my anxious dog - all the “problems” I’d had elsewhere with my very active collie, Mike completely took in his stride, and had several solutions for. My dog was not just cared for, he was also entertained, exercised, stimulated and snuggled - he loved his time there and I would not hesitate to use Mike’s services again.”
“We can't fault the care Wida showed our dog. We were worried as her dog Peanut was larger but he is very soft, playful and gentle. Our dog went on long walks with plenty of well taken photos which reassured us and they accommodated him into their home without any stress for anyone. He was very chilled when we got him back.”
“Emma and her partner once again did a great job of looking after Jojo. We can tell she feels right at home with them and their lovely dogs and it's great to receive so many photos/videos of them getting along. 100 percent recomment”
“Buster had a great time. We were so grateful Patricia could accommodate him last minute while we were away for the week! We had regular updates and Buster was very well looked after x I would 100% recommend Patricia x thank you so much x”

I am so lucky to have found Ciara! Peroni loved his little stay with her. She invited us round to meet her before hand and I knew then, she was perfect for him. He seemed straight at home! Ciara kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout Peroni’s stay which was lovely. It made the process so much relaxing knowing he was being well looked after, going for walks and having lots of love whilst we were away, it really put my mind at ease. Will certainly be re-booking, thank you so much Ciara from myself and Peroni x
Our frenchie is with Tom sometimes for a few hours, a day or stays with him for a few days. He’s very generous and caring and treats your pet like his own. Mostly he’s super chilled and so she always comes back like a zen master dog 🐶 Tom always sends updates and communicates clearly and openly. Thank you for always taking such good care of Neg 💙
Mavis stayed with Andrea & her daughter for 3 nights. She was really well looked after and went on lovely walks. We were given updates on how she was doing with photos. Mavis is an anxious dog when away from us but she seemed to have a really good time in Andrea’s care, thank you so much. We would have no reservations in using Andrea again in the future 🌟
I have never left Opie with anyone other than 1 family member before and I was really nervous, Alice and Ben are absolutely lovely and fabulous with Opie, Opie loved their dog and was excited to go into their house just from meeting them on a walk. They sent me pictures and updates throughout the day just all round fab, he was so tired when he came home so I just no he had a great day with Goldie. Thank you so much both of you! Opie will look forward to his next stay with you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chester on Rover is £34.5 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 1,327 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chester. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Sitters in North West England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
