“Dexter has an amazing stay with Edward and Natalie. He went on lots of lovely walks and i had regular updates on how he was doing for his 7 day stay. Highly recommend.”
“Jane (& her little dog Ernie!) made Pip really welcome. He can suffer badly with separation anxiety but has obviously had a lovely, caring and fun holiday with his new friends. Will definitely be booking Jane again! Thank you so much. 🙂🐾”
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.
“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.”
“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)”
About: I’ve been looking after dogs for family and friends for as long as I can remember. I absolutely love dogs and all their personalities, I care for all animals as if they were my own, providing a safe and happy environment for them. I also love being active, so spending time with animals in nature is a win win for me! Currently working part time. Available to look after dogs on weekends or weekdays, just let me know and I will try to fit you in! I have a fully enclosed garden and a very friendly dog of my own. I know every dog is completely unique, so I am always happy to tailor my setup and routines to fit your pet's exact needs.
“My furr Babies stayed for the first time and I've just picked them up and got them home and they're as happy as they always are. Chloe kept me posted with photos of walks and cuddles. Very happy with her care!!”
About: I have been looking after a wide range of dogs, from English bulldogs to golden retrievers, since about the age of 13 with my family. We now have our own cockapoo TJ, and I have continued to dog sit and walk for many people in my area! Before moving to university, I used to dog walk 4 times a week, including an energetic puppy walk! I have experience dog sitting at both my house and yours and prioritise your pets’ safety and happiness over all else. I have recently moved to the university of Bath to begin my undergraduate degree. I will be available for house sitting and dog walking when I do not have lectures. I am happy to have your dog sleep in my bed and up on the furniture, likewise I am able to crate your dog if needed. I will take your dog for an appropriate amount of walks a day- approximately 2 hours worth, however this can vary depending on their age and what you feel is best! At your house I am happy to sleep over and care for your dog/ cat as you would. During dog walks I love exploring new areas and prioritise your dog’s happiness on the walk- I’m happy to let them off the lead or keep them on.
“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”
“Amy was excellent, very friendly and enthusiastic, our dog didn't hesitate going into her house, after a 10 minute meeting the day before. I will certainly leave our dog with her again.”
About: I’ve wanted a dog of my own ever since I was little, and joining Rover feels like the perfect way to get my fix! For the past 2-3 years I’ve been the person family and friends turn to when their dogs need looking after - something I genuinely love doing. I’m hoping to adopt my own dog soon, and in the meantime I’d love to look after yours ☺️ I work from home most of the week and often have one or two days at the weekend free. I’m available for lunch time walks or dog sitting at weekends. I love going for long walks in the countryside nearby and having a dog for company would be a dream. I’ll always endeavour to stick to your dog’s schedule whether dog sitting in your home or mine. I don’t have any other pets so well suited for dogs who like to have all the attention! I have a very small garden that isn’t fenced so any adventurous dogs I’ll need to keep on lead for toilet breaks, but I am also only a 5 minute walk from playing fields and open countryside where they can roam off lead if you’re comfortable with that.
“Sandra and Brian were brilliant. Very reassuring and professional beforehand and at drop off. Our dog seemed to have a lovely and caring time during his stay. Thank you Sandra and Brian!”
“Leanne looked after Bruce, my large mixed bull breed, for 5 nights. From making the enquiry, she was really responsive and we agreed an initial meet, so her and her family could meet Bruce, this went well so we agreed the dates. I dropped Bruce off, and Leann already had experience with large breeds and e collar training. This really put me at ease when I left! She sent .e regulat daily updates and photos sp I could see how settled bruce was with them. Wheb i arrived to collect him, he was playing with Leannes son in the garden, really happy. I would not hesitate to recommend Leanne, she gave Bruce love and time and that made him a happy boy! I would also use Leanne in the future. Thank you so much for looking after my 50kg baby!”
About: We've had many dogs and cats in our family throughout my childhood. I have experience looking after both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and comfortable environment, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I have very flexible working hours working for our family business from home. So i will have plenty of time to look after your pets. We have a fenced garden for any animals to use. We so own a husky and 4 cats , our husky is super friendly to cats and other dogs. She loves to play with other dogs
“Rebecca and her family have taken such excellent care of our fur baby this weekend. It was a short notice booking and Rebecca was accommodating and kind, offering a very warm welcome when we arrived. She then sent updates and photos during Cocos stay. Coco has had the best time! Huge thanks to Rebecca and her lovely family :)”
“Our two dogs went to stay with Christine and she was just wonderful. She respected requests as a first time stay and dud everything to help keep them cool during a heatwave! We received lots of updates and photos and Lulu and Albie came home very happy!”

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.

FAQs for Boarding - Chiltern
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chiltern on Rover is £36.8 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 15,024 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 .
