“We left yogi with Chris to visit Chester Zoo which is only about 10 minutes or so from their house. Yogi had a blast and loved every minute of his visit. They provided lots of water and treats and made him feel right at home. Will definitely book again when we visit next! Thanks Chris!”
“Patricia was great, she kept me updated about my dog and was super knowledgeable about his breed. It’s clear she really loves dogs and looks after them as if they are her own. Thank you for having my boy 😊”
“We unexpectedly had to find somewhere to look after our 14 week old puppy for the day. Friends had recommended Rover but my first time. I took time to read lots of reviews and opened up communication with Tom. Briefly met him the day before and then dropped Rio for a very long day. Had great commendation throughout the day and Tom was very undertaking when our return journey had traffic delays. Would highly recommend and for sure will be using again.”
“Fantastic Service, very friendly and polite, both my dogs came back happy as ever. Plenty of us dates. Also was very accommodating and willing to take a booking extremely late and last minute. Would definitely recommend. Thankyou so much Hiu Tung N ❤️💕”
“Alan did an excellent job looking after my dog. He was friendly, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the moment we met, I felt confident my dog was in safe hands. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I really appreciated Alan’s kindness and professionalism throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog, and I’ll definitely be using his services again.”

About: Since loosing my beloved doggy Winston earlier in the year, I have made the decision to care and love other people’s fur babies rather than get another dog. I absolutely love dogs and care for them to a very high standard. I have been on websites such as Borrow my Doggy and due to my popularity on this site, I have begun the process of setting up an official dog boarding service. I could spend every day with a dog and be very happy! Winston had diabetes and went blind. I have experience in caring for dogs who require daily injections and diet management aswell as sensory support. I have cared for dogs who are deaf and dogs both young and old. I love to walk and will tailor walk lengths to the dogs capabilities. I live in a detached house with large rear garden that is secure. I can offer both week day and weekend support. I also like to go the extra mile for those I meet and the dogs I care for. I have cared for a dog with ongoing medical needs and understand how costs can be crippling. I would be happy to offer support at short notice or services such as an extended day support or pick up and drop offs. I have cared for a variety of different breeds and love them all! I can support owners with more than one dog 🐾🐶 I can offer overnight support across week days and weekends, day care support and walks. I will also support over bank holidays if I am available. I cannot offer day support on a Wednesday or night time support on a tuesday night. This can be adapted if your dog can have periods of time unsupervised (for example they are staying for a few days whilst owners are on holiday). I have a large secure rear garden where your dog can play and get some fresh air. My house is detached and we have no issue with barkers ! The downstairs is open plan which is positive for doggy supervision. I offer home from home services and will tailor my support to what you need. I live by a nice park where I will walk the dogs or if possible, take them slightly further afield to the race course or places such as loggerheads. I’ve catered for dogs who have slept on the bed as this is what they do at home 😂 I will adapt the support I provide to what your dog does at home.
“Francesca was amazing with my Puppy he had the best day with Francesca and her 8 month old golden retriever puppy, perfect for socialisation for my 14 week old puppy being with the older dog. Francesca has a beautiful home and large safe garden perfect for any puppy or dog to stay. I had a lovely update with photos to show me that Dixie my pup was doing ok which was nice to see. I will be using Francesca again 🐶 Highly recommend Francesca 🐶💙”
“Michael was just such a super dog sitter. He calmed down Tilly, who is a little sensitive when left and sent a lovely picture of both dogs fast asleep on his sofa. They were obviously completely relaxed. He had played in his garden with them which they must have loved. He was really kind and flexible about drop off and pick up knowing that I was seeing a play and meeting friends. I would recommend Michael to anyone wanting their dog to be carefully and sensitively looked after.”
“We had the best rover experience with Rosie! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our nervous dog Lady for the day. She was so welcoming and sent loads of photos and videos throughout the day. She gave Lady a wonderful time, playing in her garden and going for a walk in the countryside. Thank you so much Rosie.”
“Anna was great, Sherlock was a very happy boy after his day. Anna helped us out at very last minute, even when she already had plans but made it work and looked after Sherlock perfectly, he went straight to sleep the moment we got him home.”
“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 😄”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.”
About: We are mad about dogs! With over 40 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, from tiny puppies taking their first steps to much-loved elderly companions enjoying their quieter years, we truly understand what it means to care for your dog. We’ve welcomed pedigrees, rescues and wonderful mixed breeds of every shape and size into our family, each with their own unique personality, quirks and needs. Our dogs have never simply been pets - they’ve always been cherished members of the family, treated with love, patience, kindness and plenty of fuss. We’re genuinely mad about dogs and believe they deserve to feel safe, happy, loved and thoroughly spoiled! In fact, we’d probably fight over who gets the cuddles, fuss and playtime! When your dog is with us, they’ll be cared for as one of our own, with lots of love, attention, companionship and plenty of tail-wagging adventures along the way. Pet care will be a big part of our daily routine, with 2 adults at home 24/7. One works part-time from home, so is around for the majority of the day, while the other is available every evening and at weekends in addition to this. This means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, interaction, walks, playtime and cuddles, with someone always available to make sure they feel settled, happy and well cared for. Our garden is fully fenced around its boundaries, with all gates kept securely locked. We currently have no pets of our own, meaning your dog will receive our full attention and care. We have a park close by for regular walks, while our secure back garden provides a safe space for playtime, relaxation and toilet breaks. We aim to make every dog feel comfortable, safe and very much at home.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Chester is £25

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! :)

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Chester
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Chester on Rover is £29.9 per day (as of September 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 1,334 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Chester. About 86% 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 .
