“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!”
“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 :)”

She sent updates and our dog was well taken care of 😊 I would happily use her services again in future, and recommend to others!”
“Artur and wioleta are a lovely couple, our dog Eva/ May obviously liked them and enjoyed her stay. Artur and Wioleta are a a caring and relaxed couple and as such Eva sensed this.

“Michael and Val were exceptional hosts for our Jessie, she was treated very well and we had regular updates of all of the walks they went on. Would very much recommend. Thanks again.”

Penny absolutely loved her time with Viviene, from the lovely long walks to all the care and attention she received, it was clear she was in the best hands. Viviene is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely kind and loving with dogs, which gave me complete peace of mind while Penny was with her. It’s easy to see how much she truly cares for the animals she looks after. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and amazing with dogs, Viviene is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, thank you so much for looking after Penny so brilliantly!”

Karen and Bradley were absolutely wonderful looking after our dog for the week. From the moment we met them, we felt confident he was in safe and caring hands. They made him feel like part of their family, and it was clear from the updates and photos that he was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It’s such a relief to have found someone we can truly trust and rely on when we’re away. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave him, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter. Thank you both again!
Jenna looked after our family dog cookie for 10 days while we were on holiday, he came home happy and chilled, we were sent photos whilst we were away and he looked like he was enjoying his stay, so grateful and would definitely be using again in the future, thank you so much
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 🌟
Sarah was amazing with our nervous dog, Boo. She doesn’t normally warm to strangers very fast, but with Sarah, Boo took to her instantly. You could tell Sarah was patient and had a calming energy about her, which Boo really responded to. During the week-long stay, we received regular updates, and at no point were we worried about Boo. We knew she was well looked after. We will definitely be trusting Sarah with our Boo again. Usually, we worry about leaving her behind when we go away, so it’s lovely to find someone we know Boo is happy with. We honestly can’t recommend Sarah enough!
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.
Bilgen took great care of Barney while we were away. She was attentive, kept us updated, and Barney was very comfortable with her and Sirius. Seeing how happily Barney and Sirius played together gave us great peace of mind ❤️ Barney came home calm and happy. We couldn’t have asked for more, definitely recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Chester
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chester on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,361 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 .
