“Antonia was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! I booked with her at very short notice and dropped by dog off without a meet and greet (my choice) but my dog settled straight away. I received pictures and updates throughout the weekend and picked a happy doggy up! I was also a few hours later than anticipated but Antonia was very understanding. Thanks so much Antonia, I highly recommend you :)”
“Highly recommended and gave my dogs a home from home experience. Shelby looked after my two dogs for two nights and we were updated lots with photos of them playing, out on walks and snuggled up with Shelby. We were put at ease straight away when we met them before boarding and this trust and care for our dogs continued with excellent communication before, during and after the boarding experience. We will definitely trust and use them again. Thank you so much guys.”
“Highly recommend Lucy for daycare and boarding, Sidney was pining for her and Marnie when we got home, he missed their company and cuddles 🥹 I felt completely at home myself when I dropped him off and Sidney definitely did! We'll definitely be booking with Lucy again when we need to 😊 Thank you Lucy 🙂”
“It's been an absolute pleasure to leave Lola with Sue, she is such a lovely lady and took such good care of Lola. We are very confident that we have found the right person to leave Lola with whenever we need to. I actually think Lola didn't want to come home. Thank you Sue”
“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tracy and family. Our 2 dogs had the best stay and Tracy went over and above with care of our little Daschund who had recently hurt her back. Tracy’s husband is like the dog whisperer and our nervous dog went straight up to him on her first visit which is unheard of. Amazing service, such lovely people and home.”
“Simone took excellent care of my high energy 13-month-old working line German Shepherd Storm while we were away, Storm has lead reactivity and separation anxiety but Simone handled him perfectly, even when he barked initially Simone handled it with perfect calm confidence and made him feel safe and settled. She took him for plenty of walks and kept him cool in the heat, we came back to a well taken care of comfortable happy puppy, I can’t recommend Simone enough, we will certainly be booking her again in the future! Thank you so much Simone! 😊”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and am a huge dog lover. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including my friend’s dog and my auntie’s dog, who I care for quite often. Through this experience, I’ve become confident handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddles and making sure they feel happy. Whether it’s a long walk, some company during the day, or lots of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own I work from home full time so happy to care and be around for your dogs with my flexible schedule🐶 I have the time to pop over, go on walks or a have your dog for a sleepover most days 🐾 I live in a detached house with a good sized fenced garden! It is 3 storey so there is stairs to consider if your dog likes to sleep upstairs, but plenty of rooms and space if your dog likes sleeping elsewhere. I live near lots of walking trails, fields, woods, and swimming spots! I don’t have any other pets and live with my boyfriend who also absolutely loves dogs too.
“Karen was an amazing dog sitter, so lovely and could tell they made our dog very comfortable. Really took the time to get to know our dog and what helps them feel safe and happy. Would highly recommend.”
“Gremlin had such a great time with Ellie and Liam. They took amazing care of him and we couldn’t be happier with how it all went. They took the time to meet him first as he can be anxious, quickly made him feel right at home and kept us updated throughout. We would definitely recommend them as sitters and would love to book Gremlin in again with them in the future!”
“I was more than happy with the service provided by Meg in looking after my terrier at such short notice. The house and facilities were perfect and the regular updates put me at ease. Thank you for looking after my dog.”
“Megan was amazing, this was a hard leave for me due to Tilly having a few health issues over the last few weeks. I chose Megan due to Tilly been the only animal there. Tilly was so happy when she came home I was updated daily on her feeding been happy as well has her medication and if she had any seizures. Thank you again Megan”
“Many thanks to Yvonne for caring for Rosie so well over the weekend. It’s the first time Rosie has stayed there . I was nervous as Rosie is a miniature dachshund and is a real Mummy’s girl . But Yvonne invited us to her house for a couple of visits before I finally left Rosie . The stay went wonderfully, with lots of photos of Rosie having cuddles and belly rubs . Thanks Yvonne , Rosie will become a regular visitor xx”
“This is the second weekend my three boys have been with Kristel. They were very happy to be back with her and made themselves straight at home when they got there. Always a great sign. As before, Kristal communicated well with an update and pictures. I will definitely use her again.”
“I had the pleasure of having Nichola look after my little Teddy for one night this past Friday, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and attention he received. From start to finish, Nichola demonstrated a genuine love for animals and a commitment to ensuring Teddy's comfort and wellbeing. Nichola's communication was fabulous, providing regular updates and even sending adorable photos of Teddy enjoying his time under her care. This not only reassured me but also allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing Teddy was in capable hands. What stood out the most was Nichola's understanding Teddy's 'specific' needs (bed time water and snuggles!). She took the time to learn about his routine, dietary requirements, and favorite activities. It was evident that she went above and beyond to make Teddy feel at home. I highly recommend Nichola's dog sitting services to anyone seeking a responsible and caring pet sitter. Teddy had such a positive experience that I wouldn't hesitate to entrust Nichola with his care again in the future. Thank you, Nichola, for providing Teddy with a home away from home!”
About: My husband and I love dogs and are opening up our home to give yours the holiday they deserve! We have lots of experience having had dogs whilst growing up and we also have our own dog - Sonny (Maltipoo) Small to medium hypoallergenic (non-malting) dogs only. My husband (Spencer) works from home so your pooch will never be left unattended. I work 4 days a week, typically 2 from home too. We will follow your own pets plan whether that’s sleeping in a crate or on the bed, walking and toileting schedule. We have an enclosed garden for your dog to run around in. Lots of green space and daily walks in the surrounding parks. We have a beautiful 4yr old maltipoo called Sonny. He is incredibly friendly and can’t wait to have some friends sleep over!
“Fabiana is a fanatic host. It's clear that she pays a lot of attention to each individual dog and their needs. She took the time to get to know our dog and made sure he was introduced nicely to her own dog, home and family. Our dog had a great time and we'll be booking again with Fabiana soon!”
About: I currently have a family dog named Otto who stayed at my parents house when I moved out with Paddy. We still take him on dog walks, look after him in our home when my parents go away and we had to care for him when he was a puppy (and going through the testing teenage years). I’m currently at home full-time until September, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I can tailor my routine to suit each dog’s individual needs, whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or simply having company. I also have a car, which gives me the flexibility to travel and explore different walking routes. When I start a new job in September, I’ll update my availability to make sure I can continue offering reliable, high-quality care. I live in a spacious two-storey home with a secure, fully fenced garden, providing plenty of room for dogs to relax and play safely. We also have a stair gate available for dogs who aren’t permitted upstairs, although we’re happy for well house-trained dogs to have access to the whole home. We’re fortunate to be close to several fantastic walking spots, including Holmebrook Valley Park, Linacre Reservoirs, and a number of other local parks. We’re also just a short drive from the Peak District, offering plenty of opportunities for varied and enjoyable walks. We currently don’t have any pets living in our home. Our family dog, Otto, a friendly Golden Labrador, lives with my parents. If your dog enjoys canine company, Otto may occasionally join us on a walk. However, if your dog prefers their own space, that’s absolutely fine too, and all walks and care can be tailored to suit their individual needs and personality.
“Danielle and Ryan are lovely, friendly, enthusiastic and kind people who our dog, Lucy, instantly connected with. Our premeet at their home and local park filled me with confidence they would provide a safe and happy stay. They kindly sent messages and photos through the stay, including adventures out in the Peaks! Lucy clearly had a great time, and I have already rebooked!”

Larna and Rich have been fantastic looking after Ava. We were gone for 8 days on holiday and I was sent daily photos and updates. From all of the photos, I could see how content Ava was which really put my mind at rest so we could enjoy our family holiday. I have used Larna before this but will reach out to her yet again when we next need a dog sitter. Fully recommend.
It's been an absolute pleasure to leave Lola with Sue, she is such a lovely lady and took such good care of Lola. We are very confident that we have found the right person to leave Lola with whenever we need to. I actually think Lola didn't want to come home. Thank you Sue
Meg did an amazing job looking after Loki. It was his first time staying away from us so we were rather nervous at leaving him somewhere. But from the first meet Meg put our minds at rest. She and her partner took excellent care of him and treated him like part of the family. We were sent lots of pupdates throughout his stay and we could see he was thoroughly enjoying himself. Thank you again Meg for looking after Loki. We will definitely be getting in touch next time we need Loki looking after
Wilf had his first sleepover at Nicola’s and seems to have loved every minute. No anxiety and slept through the night despite it being his first night away from us since we got him. Feel really reassured now that he’s fine staying away from home when necessary. Nicola did everything to accommodate his routine, sleeping arrangements, new food, and aslo gave him the meds he’s on this week. Thankyou! ❤️
Amazing! Our 15 year old dog Penny had a great time staying at Claire's house for 3 nights. Claire provided provided detailed updates regularly with plenty of photos. She also drove to our house to collect Penny's food that Amazon delivered after we left for our trip. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Claire again and highly recommend her.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Chesterfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chesterfield 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 1,472 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chesterfield. 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 East Midlands 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 .
