“Edward and Natalie were brilliant with Peggy. Made sure to familiarise themselves with Peggy's routine in advance, adapted their care to the hot weather, took beautiful pictures that I might well print and were great at keeping me informed more generally. Peggy was clearly really relaxed in their company. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I have owned dogs and I have lots of friends with dogs. I gave up my NHS Career last November to go travelling, meeting new dogs everywhere I went. Coming home I realise that being in nature, especially with a dog is how I would like to live my life. I’ve trained puppies and cared for sick dogs and nothing gives me more pleasure than a wagging tail. I’ve just returned from 7 months of travelling and looking to start a small business to run from home in the beautiful Chilterns. I love gardening and spend a lot of time outdoors. I love dogs and I seem to connect with them everywhere I go. I have a large back garden, fully contained with lots of beautiful walks from my front door. Indoors your dog will be part of the family and loved as such and can choose where they want to sleep.
“Jane was great with Bella nice pictures all the time Very comforting that jane was fully aware of issues of heat that week and only walking bella in coolest time. Looked a happy doggy when we picked her up”
“Our dog Sidney had such a super time at Kelly’s house. He is normally not the easiest dog and can take a little while to get used to people, but Kelly somehow managed to win him over in no time. It was very clear from the first pics she sent us not long after we’d dropped him off that he was having a great time. We got lots of updates throughout the day and were in no doubt that he was getting lots of attention and was being very well looked after. Thank you Kelly!”
“Ewa is just amazing - she takes such good loving care of my dog (who can be quite high energy and loved lots of attention) Ewa has taken her at short notice before as well and is very accommodating. We are so grateful for how well she’s cares for Luna. Thank you so much Ewa (and Mishka)”
“Roxy had a great time, Roberta sent me lots of photos and updates and I know she was so well looked after. You can see that Roberta loves dogs and I felt so confident leaving her there. Roxy will definitely be back thank you”
“Christine looked after my 4 year old wirehaired dachshund for a couple of days, and being the first time I’ve used the app; she completely put my mind at ease. Arthur had a lovely time and was thoroughly looked after and received lots of love in Christine’s care. She provided regular updates to reassure me, took him for some lovely walks and played with him endlessly. I will certainly be using Christine again next time I need someone to look after Arthur!”
“Arlo spent a week staying with Leanne & her family whilst we were away. We were kept up to date with pictures and what he had been up to. Looks like he had a great week playing with Leanne’s son. Would definitely recommend. Thank you 😊”
“Sarah and her family were wonderful hosts for our Maple - went over and above to make sure she was happy and comfortable for her stay and she was very excited to go back which is always a nice sign when dropping our furry friends off!”
“Chloe looked after our cocker Link for two nights. Looks like he had a lovely time with lots of great walks and fuss. Chloe made sure to keep us updated and we had every confidence that Link was in good hands. We'd definitely recommend Chloe and I'm sure Link will be visiting again 😊”
“Our dog had a wonderful time over Christmas! Ksenia was so accommodating & easy going. It was also so reassuring knowing Kitty (our dog) was so happy with all her new friends.”
“Lovely as always! Very communicative, provides updates in the morning and the evening and always asks questions if they’re unsure of something. Casper loves going to Amy & Connor and I always know he’s going to be very well locked after”
“Helena was a wonderful host for Millie for two nights. It was a bonus that her dog is also a Tibetan Terrier like Millie! We recieved lots of photos and reassurance that Millie was settled and happy and would absolutely take her for a holiday with Helena again.”
About: I grew up with dogs (own, family and friends) and am confident caring for them. I understand that every dog is different and will listen and follow any specific requirements / asks for when I look after your beloved pup. You can expect dog walks, play time and plenty of cuddles when your dog is in my care. I usually like to meet with you and your dog beforehand so we can make sure both are happy to move forward. For boarding and day care - please be aware I have a small 4 year old female Maltipoo, Mya who is well socialised and gets along well with various dogs! I also have a good sized garden and all areas downstairs are accessible so your dog can roam. Tue, Wed, Thur - I can provide full attention to your furry friend. Between 2-3 walks a day, depending on needs. Thank you! Tue, Wed, Thur - I can provide full attention to your pup. 2-3 walks a day, plenty of play and cuddles, depending on the dogs needs.

“Fiona is so friendly and welcoming. Instantly my dog felt at ease and set off exploring her new home for the next 2 days. Fiona has a genuine love for dogs and my dog was lucky to have such a lovely person looking after her. Fiona updated me with messages and pictures so I could see how the stay was going. Don’t hesitate to book your dog in for a stay with Fiona, they will be throughly spoilt!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog sitter for the past 2 to 3 years. What started as looking after pets for friends and family naturally expanded into helping out others in need of reliable care. I’ve recently relocated to Berkhamsted and am excited to start building a fresh local network here! Because I work from home three days a week and have full weekend availability, I can offer your dog plenty of consistent company, cuddles, and supervision. If this sounds like a great match for your routine, please feel free to reach out—I'd love to chat! I work from home three days during the week and have full availability on the weekends. My schedule is flexible, meaning I can easily structure my day around your dog's needs. Your furry friend will always have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day I live in a secure ground-floor flat featuring a private, fully fenced back garden with direct access to my home. Safety is a top priority: my entry features double doors to the outside, and the back garden has a secure, locked gate for complete peace of mind while your dog plays outside.
“Debbie looked after our dog Winston for a weekend and he had a great time. Debbie was really helpful and accommodating with drop off and pickup times, and shared updates with us throughout Winston’s stay. We highly recommend Debbie and would definitely use her again.”

I had no hesitation leaving Maizy at all leaving Maizy with Brian and Sandra. There was no hesitation on her part. We were sent regular updates and updates and photos of Maizy snuggling up on someone’s lap. Brian and Sandra are a warm, caring couple who enjoy the company of dogs. Thank you
Brian & Derek loved their stay with Matt and Charli, they didn’t seem bothered about coming home when we collected them. We were kept fully updated at all times and when the weather was particularly hot Matt and Charli adjusted the exercise to suit. Will definitely be booking again ❤️
We were so happy with Holly. Rufus, our mini schnauzer boarded with her for a walk. Holly really cared for him, took him for play dates and sent pictures of him snuggling, having fun and playing. Just brilliant. He’s home now and very attached to the squeaky rubber bone that she let him keep as a pressy. I’d thoroughly recommend Holly to anyone. Hopefully Rufus will be able to make a return trip one day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chiltern on Rover is £36.8 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 14,904 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chiltern. 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 .
