About: Born into a family where there was always a dog and a cat, many other animals came and went along the way! This was replicated when bringing up my own family. I have many years of experience caring for different animals with different needs and temperaments! Now semiretired, I have a background in healthcare, and am a practical person. I am now able to do my dream job of pet sitting and dog walking, having the necessary experience and practical attributes for the task. Always reliable, professional and discreet, I offer a service which is tailored to individual needs. Caring for pets is my full time job, so I would have time care for your pet at anytime. I have a very flexible lifestyle, so am happy to fit in with people as to their individual requirements. I offer an individual service based on people’s requirements. Respect for the owners wishes in caring for their pet would be adhered to at all times. All instructions would be followed. Working in someone else’s home means that trust is paramount. Discretion and confidentiality would be adhered to. On top of this, I am DBS checked to reassure customers of my honesty and integrity.
About: Hi, I’m Fiona. With 30 years experience looking after family dogs and 15 years looking after friend’s and neighbour’s cats I am extremely experienced. My special passion is caring for stray and rescue cats in both the UK and Morocco. I have cared for entire cat and kitten families including feeding, socialising, administering medication, monitoring their health and helping vulnerable kittens thrive. Working with stray cats has developed my patience and compassion and how to build trust with the most shy and scared of animals. Every animal has their own personality. I completely respect that some love attention, whilst some just like a calm and reassuring presence. Whether your pet is a rescue, elderly, shy or needs medication and special care, I will care for them like they are my own. My priority is to make your pet feel safe and loved and give you complete peace of mind when you’re away. Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you. I work from home 8-17:15 and can be available at the weekends as well. I can make time for your pet throughout the day. I can be free for boardings as well week days and weekends on request I have a small patio with large walls and fence. I have no pets of my own. My house is a small terrace so no where really for them to go walkabouts and I can safely keep an eye on them.
“Tom was brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and Timber absolutely loved his stay with his new best mate Otto! Tom’s extremely accommodating, and considering this was our first time leaving Timber for the day we couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter, 10/10!👌🏼”
“Michael was very flexible and a responsive communicator. He looked after our dog during the day when we had a long day out with family and were worried about leaving her for too long. We needn’t have worried, she had a lovely time and he was very responsive to her needs. We got her back happy and relaxed, we would book with him again.”

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.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fiona was fantastic with Willow, and we would happily book with her again. We reached out with only a couple of days' notice when we were planning a visit to Chester Zoo, and Fiona was incredibly accommodating from the start. She was flexible with timings, allowing us to drop Willow off towards the later end of our agreed window and collect her at the latest possible time, which made planning our day so much easier. Throughout the process, Fiona was friendly, responsive, and easy to coordinate with. Willow spent the day with Fiona, her own dog Luna, and another dog she was caring for called Rosie. While we were naturally a little cautious about introducing Willow to new dogs, Fiona's confidence and experience gave us reassurance, and she was absolutely right. Luna and Rosie turned out to be the perfect companions for our energetic one-year-old Golden Retriever, providing a great balance of play and calmness throughout the day. Fiona kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which allowed us to see just how much fun Willow was having and helped us relax and enjoy our day out. The updates, combined with Fiona's obvious understanding of dog behaviour and group dynamics, gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. The biggest sign of how successful the day was came when we picked Willow up. She was calm, happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired after a day of fun and stimulation. It's clear that Fiona genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after and creates a safe, positive environment for them. If we're ever back in Chester, Fiona will be one of the first people we contact for dog care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and caring sitter.”
“Bree was completely lovely with my dog and her whole family made him feel welcome. He enjoyed spending time with their sweet doggie Peggy, had a walk in the woodland and came home happy and tired. Highly recommended.”
About: We are Rebecca and Sophie! We are both animal lovers, and have taken care of Dogs, rabbits and even a parrot, from a very young age. We have two beautiful chocolate Labradoodles, Benson and Bella and we regularly care for Albie, a miniature daschund. We also have four rabbits! We both work different hours throughout the week, so at least one of us will always be at home and on hand to care for your precious pets needs! We have a fully fenced and enclosed garden with plenty of room for your furry friends to run around safely. We are more than happy to care for dogs who may be a little anxious around other dogs, and we are able to keep our dogs separately within the house!
“Frankie was very comfortable and had a great time with Rebecca! She did a meet and greet before hand, was great with communication and sent photo updates throughout the day. We would highly recommend and Frankie would love to stay again 😄”
About: I’ve come from a family of dog owners 5/6 at a time! Had my own little Maltese Marley for 14 years, he was the best. I now live in a large bungalow in a suburban part of Chester with two huge gardens, fields for days, long walks, short walks we can do it all! We also love a hike if any of your pups love a good bit of exercise. My boyfriend works full time in airbus and I am home 24/7 and would love to take care of your fur babies! I am a housemaker full time so I will have all the time in the world to spend with your fur babies! We have a lovely garden which is extremely peaceful, no loud noises, trees etc and lovely walks nearby. I have a large garden surrounded by large fences/bushes high up. I would love for you to give a personalised care plan for me to follow including how many walks, specific times etc I am fully flexible and therefore can cater time directly to taking care of your pet exactly how you/they like!
“First time using Tom and have to say he was fantastic. Very good on communications, confident and relaxed with the dog sitting, very easy to deal with and gave me peace of mind.”
“Benji had a great day with Oliver and Milo. I was updated every few hours with photos and videos and he seemed very happy with them even though it was his first time. I will book him again for sure. Thank you!”

Rebecca did an excellent job. The hound was very happy with her. The second day when we took him again to her house he went in with a waggy tail. Rebecca was easy to communicate with and she sent photos to reassure us that he was having a nice time. Would highly recommend.
Simply wonderful - Patricia is one of those people who absolutely adores animals. She is extremely professional, passionate and my dog absolutely loves her. She provided me with photos throughout the day; and I could tell me dog was having a wonderful time. Patricia made a huge effort to understand how she can give my dog the best possible care.

This was the first time we had left Misla with someone other than family or friends and we were nervous. However on meeting Bilgen we were soon put at our ease. She sent us a video and pictures of a happy Misla during the day while we are at a close friends 50th wedding anniversary celebration. On the basis of our experience we would highly recommend Bilgen. She helped make our day.
Rosie has really enjoyed her day care with Saskia, who was very accommodating in rearranging this day care from the 2nd to the 9th March. Saskia sent me photographs of her walk with Rosie, which was very reassuring and I could see clearly Rosie was very happy. Thank you Saskia I would highly recommend you and would not hesitate to use your services again in the future. A big thank you from Rosie. XX
Heather was exceptionally helpful throughout the process of using her service for the first time. She was very quick to respond to my messages to get my dog booked in for her first day in Heather's care, put my mind at ease straight away. She made everything very easy. Heather was brilliant on the day of looking after Ruby for the first time too. She was warm, accommodating and explained that she would update me throughout the day on how Ruby was getting on, which she did very thoroughly. She was very attentive to Ruby's needs. Will definitely be using your services again. Thank you! :)
We regularly send Pepper to Kirsty and it is one of the few places that we feel happy and confident that she is going to be well cared for whilst there! Pepper always gets so excited as soon as we pull outside as she knows where she is and pulls her way to the front door ready to greet Kirsty - would highly recommend!💛
We just want to say a big thank you to Amber! We felt very at ease leaving our dog Daisy with her. Amber kindly accepted Daisy at short notice and took the time to ensure she would get on with another dog she was already caring for, which we really appreciated. Daisy was taken on some lovely adventures around Chester and even came back washed down after a muddy walk, such a thoughtful touch. She seemed so happy and content (and tired) when we picked her up. We’d definitely recommend Amber to others and will absolutely be using her again in the future!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Chester
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Chester on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,313 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Chester. About 85% of Chester sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Chester commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
