“Hazel had an amazing time with Katherine and her family. This was her first time staying but the frequent updates whilst we were away stopped us from worrying as we knew Hazel was having a fantastic time. We will definitely be coming back in the future!”
“Sharon was fantastic with my little Shih Tzu, Mushu. He had a great time staying with her, her husband Dave and their dog Bertie. I received updates and photos at least once a day and was always happy that he was being well looked after and that all was going well.”
“Heather and Mat looked after our cocker spaniel brilliantly. He came home happy and obviously well cared for. Heather updated us daily with lovely photos. We will definitely be using them again.”
About: I've been around dogs since I was 8 years old and have always loved being part of their lives. Growing up with family dogs gave me plenty of hands-on experience, and over the years I've regularly looked after dogs for friends and family. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and well cared for. I work during the week, so I'm available for bookings at weekends and during school holidays. Throughout the summer holidays I have plenty of free time, allowing me to give your dog lots of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'll always make sure your pet gets the care, exercise, and love they need while you're away. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a private, secure garden and plenty of space inside my home for dogs to relax and feel at ease. I also have a friendly cat who is very used to the family dogs visiting, so they're comfortable around each other. I'll follow your dog's usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and any special instructions, so they feel happy, safe, and right at home.
“Minnie absolutely loved her stay with Amanda. Beautiful garden for dogs and Amanda is very kind and loving towards dogs. Would fully recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thank you xx”
“What a lovely young lady. My dog Monty was treated as another family member. She is kind, gentle and fun to be around. Monty received lots of exercise so thank you! Definitely use her again. Karien”

Thank you to you all for caring so much for Bobbie and showing him so much love.”
About: I have had dogs of all kinds all my life. I adore dogs. I had a very nervous Golden Retriever from 8 weeks old until he passed away. I saw him as part of the family. I looked after a Welsh Border Collie for 18 months because the owner couldn’t have dogs where she moved to. I also looked after two 10-year-old Labrador/Alsatian crosses. One of them had behavioural issues, but I was able to care for her confidently. I used to dog sit for them every few weeks and stay for several days at a time. I am reliable, sensible and flexible. I also have a car, so I can come at short notice and provide emergency transport to the vet if ever needed. I am available most days (except Tuesdays) and have my own car, so I’m able to travel where needed. I am reliable, caring and able to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays and boarding. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos throughout your dog’s stay. I’ll always do my best to follow their usual routine and give them plenty of love, attention and playtime, so they feel as comfortable as possible. I live in a large one-bedroom first-floor flat and have my landlord’s permission to have pets. I am also happy to stay in your home if that’s what your dog is most comfortable with. I am respectful, trustworthy and fully focused on caring for your furry family member as if they were my own. I recently lost my partner hence why I’d like to do this. I am available most days (except Tues) and I have a car so I’m able to travel/come at short notice. I am currently not working due to a health condition but that doesn’t affect me caring for dogs. I am reliable and sensible! I am able to provide any service and I can’t wait to play and care for your dogs I live in a large one bed first floor flat, I live alone. I have permission from my landlord to have pets. I am also happy to stay at the owners house. I am really respectful and fully focussed on caring for your fluffy friends!

“Sarah is incredible. She took in Twix whilst I was away for 3 days with my work and looked after her like she would her own dog. I got daily updates and photos from her, together with the peace of mind that Twix was safe and well. I’ll not be letting anyone else look after Twix , as she had a lovely time with a genuinely lovely family.🐾🐾”
About: I've always been trusted to care for family pets, whether for overnight stays or daily walks, and I've loved every minute of it. I've also looked after pets for neighbours and family friends, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I love attending training classes with my own dog, Bruce, and have picked up a few fun tricks and training techniques along the way that I can practise with your pup too! I’m currently back from university over the summer and only working part time so i have plenty of time to look after and play with any dogs! My schedule is very flexible to fit your needs. I have a fenced garden and a very energetic dog, Bruce, who will love the company. I am very attentive and will make sure your dog has everything they need
About: Wagworth's Dog Care: I am dog mad, having loved them since I was little. I specialise in looking after puppies and elderly dogs who often need a bit more care and attention. I have owned several dogs myself and I currently have a very friendly 3 year old Border Terrier / Poodle mix named Bertie and a Jack Russel Terrier mix puppy called Bailey. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and look forward to meeting yours! I work from home so can accommodate walks and dog sitting flexibly. I spend most of my weekends with my dogs out on long walks along the coast or on the Downs. I have a fenced garden and my own dogs to keep yours company. I have a car and it is a short distance from my house to great walks along the beach or in fields.
About: I am a 26 year old animal lover living in a gorgeous coastal town near Chichester, West Sussex. I have always lived with cats and dogs in my family of all shapes and sizes, including Spaniels, Tabby cats, German Shepherds and Labradors. I work remotely as a legal assistant whilst training to qualify as a family lawyer. I have a full driving license which enables me to take my friend’s and family’s dogs on nice long walks at the beach or in the woods. You can rest assured knowing your pet would be very looked after in my care. I currently work full time as a legal assistant but enjoy the benefit of working from home 5 days a week which enables me to provide care for your pets either living in with me, or by driving to your house to feed and play with your cat or walk your dog! I have a cottage-style fenced long garden which is perfect for lots of sniffs and room to play on our lawn. I have access to the garden via a back gate and a garden sink which is ideal for muddy paws! I live within walking distance to Bosham quay and have other great walk routes such as farmers fields and woodlands nearby. I have oak wooden floor throughout the downstairs of our home and are very used to having dogs overnight here.

About: I’ve taken care of family & friends dogs/cat for many years now and have grown up with them all my life! I’m lucky enough to also help out and work at dog events such as Goodwoof & Dogstival. This included walking, feeding and assisting all the owners and dogs needs throughout the whole day. I currently have a rescue dog myself from Crete and I have dedicated my time and effort helping with her anxiety towards other dogs, walks and loud noises. As well as training her some new tips and tricks, so I understand the importance of ensuring a dog feels comfortable especially in their own home. I work Monday - Friday but work one day at home (of my choice) so I am available at 5pm onwards and I am available to stay overs or walks. I am free all weekend nights and days for stay overs or walks. I would ensure that I understand all the animals needs fro maybe owner before taking care of them.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Chichester
Harriet was brilliant and very accommodating with our dog, Robyn, who she looked after overnight during our wedding and brought her down to see us so she could be in some of our pictures which meant the world to us. Very responsive and helpful, we didn't worry about Robyn once during our big day, and it looked like Robyn enjoyed herself.

FAQs for Boarding - Chichester
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chichester on Rover is £43.44 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,687 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chichester. 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 South East 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 .
