House Sitting in Chester

“Mallory has a very kind and calming presence! She was so great with our two spoiled golden retrievers, getting up early and providing multiple daily walks. She provided daily updates including pictures and videos, and also took great care of our home. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!”

I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and comfort throughout the day, whether it’s a puppy learning routines, a senior dog needing extra care, or a cat who enjoys quiet companionship. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or a client’s home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each pet's needs. If in a clients home, I would need to bring my dog with me. In My Home: I offer a cozy, pet-friendly space where pets are treated like family. For dogs, I ensure they have access to a secure yard for play and relaxation, and I follow any training or health routines you’ve established. Cats have quiet, comfy spots to relax, along with engaging toys and activities to keep them stimulated. I make sure to maintain a clean and hygienic environment, including regular litter box cleaning, and I provide structured feeding, grooming, and playtime.

I’ll follow your instructions on feeding, exercise, and any special care requirements, from administering medication to providing extra attention for senior pets. I focus on keeping your home secure and comfortable, following your rules for safety and cleanliness, and always ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for. Whether it’s taking extra care with your pet’s toys, keeping their space tidy, or simply giving them the comfort of a familiar face, I aim to make your pet feel safe and happy in your absence.

“Being completely new to Rover, we were a little intimidated and skeptical of the process at first; however knowing we needing a sitter, something kept me drawn to Amber’s profile. Let me tell you that, within five minutes of our initial meet & greet any and all worries we’re completely washed away. Her personality is beautiful, her love and passion for dogs shined through and it was evident that she had much knowledge and experience in the field. I just knew that our dog was in very good hands. While away, she gave us just enough updates to reassure us that everything was going well back home and that we could enjoy our time away. If you are in need of a dog sitter, do not hesitate to reach out to Amber .. we are so glad we did!”

About: More Than Just a Pet Sitter – I’m Your Pet’s Second Best Friend! 🐾 With experience in puppy training, senior pet care, and personalized attention, I go beyond basic pet sitting to ensure your furry family member feels loved, safe, and engaged. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles to older pets, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. Because every pet deserves expert care with a personal touch I work as a marine geophysicist and hydrographic surveyor - fancy way of saying I map the oceans. My work often takes me to various parts of the world so I work on a Month On - Month Off rotation schedule. When I am home, I am home full time and always looking for things to do. If that kind of schedule works well for you I can't wait to chat! Provide walks, playtime, and any special needs. Maintain Routine. I would prefer they stay in their familiar environment, reducing stress. Daily updates to the owner.

“Louise was amazing minding our 2 dogs overnight at our home, we had a trip planned for months and a sitter let us down last minute. On short notice Louise cancelled her own social event to help us out! Moving forward she will be our go to sitter, best we have found on Rover to date.”

About: Experienced dog owner and trainer with three dogs of my own, including hands-on training of two certified therapy dogs; skilled in obedience, leash manners, feeding routines, and giving dogs the structure, exercise, and affection they need. Flexible schedule that easily accommodates daily walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays; happy to adjust timing around your pet’s routine for feeding, potty breaks, and bedtime, ensuring consistent care whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their established routines closely; sticking to regular feeding schedules, walk times, and bedtime habits to keep things familiar and low-stress. I’m comfortable administering medication, maintaining litter boxes, cleaning up after meals or accidents, and providing plenty of attention, play, and companionship. For overnight stays, I keep to the pet’s normal sleeping arrangements and make sure they feel safe and cared for until the owner returns. I always leave the home as tidy as I found it and communicate updates throughout the visit.

About: Hi! I'm Beth! 👋🏻 I've spent my whole life (nearly four decades!) with pets, and have been petsitting for family, friends, and neighbours for many years. Pet care is something I'm incredibly passionate about...so much so that I volunteer weekly at the SPCA. 🐶🐱 I'm confident with many personality types, comfortable with animal cues and body language, and familiar with obedience and training techniques.👌🏻 My primary goal is for your pet to feel safe and secure with me in your absence...whether it's going for a little adventure, cuddling on the couch, playing on the floor, or simply providing a peaceful presence, I'm committed to giving your pets my undivided attention...and quite probably a silly nickname! 💕 I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments; small animals ranging from birds to hedgehogs to chinchillas to aquarium species; and have spent my fair share of time caring for farm animals, as well! I am able to administer medications and cater to any special diets or other requirments necessary for the healthy care of your pet. 🐾🐾 I look forward to connecting with you so we can further discuss how I can help! 😊 I accept bookings 7 days a week for house-sits! *I am currently taking bookings up until June 26th, as I will then be away until September.* Trust is essential, and providing you with peace of mind is of the utmost importance to me. I always follow owner's routines for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and comfort. I provide consistent attention, maintain cleanliness, and send regular updates to ensure pets (and pet parents) feel safe, happy, and secure!

“Hannah was wonderful in guiding us through our first Rover experience. We were nervous leaving our two dogs with someone other than family or close friends for the first time and Hannah reassured us every step of the way. She took the best care of our girls and updated us everyday with pictures. It is very apparent Hannah cares for the animals she looks after. She was professional and respectful of our home. We would not hesitate to book Hannah for our future dog sitting needs.”

About: Hi! I am a Law student at Dalhousie who would love to help with all your pet-related needs. I love going on long walks, hanging out in parks, and spending as much time as I can outside - which would be even better with a dog (I am missing mine from home)! I grew up with a small poodle in my family for most of my life, alongside lots of other pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, hermit crabs), and just adopted a puppy with my family at home, so I am happy to look after a pet of any shape or size! I am also comfortable administering medications (oral / injected) through experience caring for my family dog in her older years. I live in a house of 4 animal-loving students, with a yard and located just a block away from The Commons and close to some off-leash dog parks, so your pet would be able to make lots of visits to play! I can accommodate up to two dogs, but would prefer to look after just one pet (cat/dog/other) at a time to provide maximum care and attention. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions :) I’m a full-time student, but am very flexible around classes. I am free Monday afternoons, Thursday mornings and afternoons, and flexible Friday and on weekends, and I would love to care for your furry friends during these free times! As I typically only accept one pet (or household of pets) at a time, I aim to give my greatest attention to your pets to ensure their safety and happiness! I want your pets to feel at home, even in my house, so they are welcome to make themselves comfortable wherever they feel best.

About: New to Rover? I’ve got a little welcome gift for you! 🎁🐶 Use my promo code BENC81459 and get $20 off your first booking when you sign up. About me 🙋‍♂️ 🐾 Structured, Loving, Caring and Attentive In-Home Dog Care ❤️ Hi, I’m Ben — a loving dog dad to three rescues: Jackson, Quincy, and Wee Jojo 💜 I work from home and intentionally keep my bookings limited to ensure every dog in my care receives focused, individualized attention within a calm, structured home environment. When your pup stays with me, they are integrated into my daily routine — not just “watched,” but genuinely loved and cared for. ⸻ 🛡️ Safety & Supervision Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. ✔ Fully fenced and secure backyard ✔ Dogs are always supervised while outside — never left unattended ✔ Baby gates installed for additional safety layers ✔ Separate feeding areas to prevent food guarding and manage allergies ✔ Dogs always kept on leash during walks I am experienced in reading canine body language and adjusting routines based on each dog’s temperament and comfort level. ⸻ 🚶 Adventure Walks & Enrichment We are fortunate to live near beautiful trails, including scenic adventure walks around Bell Lake 🌲💧 Walks typically range from 1–2 hours depending on your dog’s energy level and include: • Structured leash walking • Sniffing and mental enrichment • Lakeside and wooded trail exploration Adventure walks are always tailored to your dog’s energy level, personality, and confidence. In addition, dogs enjoy: • Supervised backyard play • Evening neighborhood walks • Calm indoor enrichment and rest time ⸻ 🏡 Home Environment My home is designed with dogs in mind: • Three-level home with ample indoor space • Six dog beds throughout the house • Sofas and blankets available for comfort • Flowing water fountains on multiple levels (filters cleaned and replaced regularly) • Heated home during winter months • Dehumidifier for clean, comfortable air Dogs are welcome throughout my home. ⸻ ❤️ Rescue & Anxiety Experience I have extensive experience caring for rescue dogs and managing anxiety, including separation anxiety. Growing up, my mother rescued and fostered dogs on our family farm. I was actively involved in their daily care and learned early how to nurture nervous or sensitive dogs with patience and structure. Today, I continue that experience with my own three rescues. ⸻ 💬 Communication I understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog. You will receive structured updates four times daily: ✅ Morning ✅ Afternoon ✅ Evening ✅ Before bed Each update includes photos, videos, and a brief summary so you always feel informed and at ease. ⸻ 📅 Meet & Greets I prefer to schedule a meet & greet before every first booking. This allows us to ensure a comfortable fit and gives your pup the opportunity to explore my fenced garden and interact calmly with my dogs. ⸻ 🌟 Final Note Providing a safe, structured, and loving environment is something I take seriously. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a significant decision — and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to feel completely confident in your decision, knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. ❤️ 📆 DAILY ROUTINE I work from home five days a week, which allows me to maintain a consistent and attentive routine for the dogs in my care. Morning (6:00 AM) We start the day early with a structured walk to the nearby lake. The round trip typically takes around two hours, providing exercise, enrichment, and calm exploration to start the day off right. Midday Throughout the day, dogs enjoy supervised outdoor time in my fully fenced garden, where they can safely run, play, and explore. Dogs are always attended and never left alone outside. Evening After work, we go for a relaxed walk around the neighborhood before settling in for the evening. Throughout the day, dogs also have access to comfortable indoor rest spaces and enrichment activities tailored to their energy level. 🛡️ Safety & Wellbeing My home is a safe, structured environment, and the safety and wellbeing of both your dog and my own dogs is my highest priority. Because I work from home, your dog will never be left alone. I am present throughout the day to supervise, monitor, and ensure everyone remains comfortable and secure. My property is fully fenced, and all outdoor time is supervised to maintain a safe and controlled environment.

“Lyne is a wonderful person and an incredible dog sitter. I would highly recommend her to care for your dogs. My dogs love her and I feel relaxed knowing she is giving them such love and care when I have to be away from them.”
