House Sitting in Chester

“Jilian was great! She came for a meet-and-greet and Mozzie loved her. She kept us up to date throughout her stay and gave him his medications as indicated. There was an issue with a “cost adjustment” that she helped us resolve—really appreciated the help. Great experience!”

“Shannon always goes above and beyond with our pups. She keeps us updated with frequent photos and messages, and really goes the extra mile to make sure they are well taken care of. She stayed at our house for a week with them, and really put us at ease while we were away. We love (and the pups love!) having Shannon watch them!!!”

“Jessica was very attentive to our 13 yr old dog, making sure he was well fed and got his multiple medications. She kept us updated with videos and photos. He was happy to see us when we got home but I think he also missed Jessica!”

“Mark and his fiancé stayed with our 8 month old puppy, 9 year old dog and our cat for 5 nights in our home. We couldn’t have been happier with his care. He sent daily updates, pictures, and videos. He is clearly an animal lover. Our home was well cared for and he shoveled the driveway after an unexpected snow storm. I was completely able to enjoy my vacation without a worry. I highly recommend Mark for in home pet care.”

“Thank you so much. We always feel safe leaving our animals and home in your care. Definitely recommend you to friends and family.”

“Sophia was truly amazing. She communicated every step of the way and always reached out with any questions. I appreciated how consistently she kept me informed with updates and photos, and how she let me know when she arrived and left each day. She also gave me helpful summaries of their daily activities so I always knew how Kharma was doing. I came home to a neat and tidy house, the trash taken out, and a very happy dog. It was clear Kharma was well cared for. I’d absolutely trust her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around animals. I’ve also worked as a dog and cat sitter, helping with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and overnights. I’m very reliable and pay attention to the little details so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, can help with basic puppy training, and am comfortable giving medications if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make it a fun, positive experience, whether that’s a good walk, playtime, or just extra cuddles. I have a flexible work schedule and am able to fit pet care easily into my day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and some overnights (around my kids schedules), and make sure pets are cared for on a consistent schedule. I’m reliable and always plan ahead so your pet gets the attention and routine they’re used to. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, make sure collars/leashes are secure, and pay attention to any specific needs or behaviors. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. On walks I always pay attention to my surroundings to keep your dog safe. I'm not there to pay attention to your beloved dog, not get distractes by my phone or anything else.

“Kim was awesome. She had a great attention to detail and asked questions to make sure Abby was well taken care of. She kept in contact while we were away. This was great as we did not worry at all! She also made sure our fish and chickens were cared for as well!!”

“Kathryn took great care of our 2 beagles while we were away. I know they'll miss her. She even swept up(they are messy) and cleaned off the kitchen counters. We would definitely request her again, in fact we already did.”

“We don’t like to leave our boy home alone if we’re going to be gone longer than a couple hours. Palma graciously came and hung out with him at our house, and everything worked out great! Thank you!!”

“Delaney went above and beyond for our dog during our weekend away. She provided updates, asked questions, and called with concerns, which allowed us to trust that everything was well underway and cared for in our absence. She left the house very clean.”

“Fantastic pet sitter! Vincent took amazing care of my dog providing updates and lots of walks and affection. Paula directions exactly will definitely be using again”

“Kimberly has a beautiful energy that the dogs responded well to. I could tell from the photos she sent that they were having a fabulous time playing with her. When I got home they were safe and sound and relaxed...and even a bit tuckered out, which was perfect considering I'd had a long day!”

“We really appreciate the good care from Faith for our pup Theo. She was prompt in responding, always conscientious, and everything went very smoothly while we were out of town.”

“Christine was fantastic! We have five cats that she watched for us on short notice while we were out of town over the weekend - two of the cats are special-needs and need medication, and two of the cats are fosters that required special handling. Christine did a great job handling the medication and special care of all of our cats, and she texted me photos and updates regularly!”

I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pup will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. Here's what a typical day looks like when your dog is with me: 🐾 Morning (7am–10am): Potty break, breakfast, and a light walk or play session 🐾 Midday (11am–2pm): Walks, potty breaks, enrichment games, or just relaxing cuddle time 🐾 Afternoon (3pm–6pm): Another walk or active playtime in a safe, calm environment 🐾 Evening (7pm–9pm): Dinner, a final potty break, and winding down for the night I'm available for: ✅ Drop-in visits ✅ Dog walking ✅ Puppy care Weekend and holiday availability included! I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, or specific instructions your dog needs to feel comfortable and loved.

You’ll always know how your pet is doing, whether I’m there for 20 minutes or staying the night. Your pet stays safe, your home is respected, and you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.

About: I'm who you call when your dog needs to run around and tire themselves out, or when your cat needs to curl up with someone in the sunlight! I grew up taking care of my lovely cockadoo Otis, as well as going on runs with my step-family's energetic black lab and golden retriever. In the years since, I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I love learning every pet's specific needs, schedule, and energy levels. Excited to meet you and your furry friend exactly where you need! I'm currently working remotely as a writer, so I'll have plenty of time for your pup or your kitty. My schedule is usually quite flexible, and unless I'm out of town, I can make last minute calls work! My own dog was a rescue from the streets of New York City, and we worked very hard to slowly build trust with him, to the point he became the most affectionate dog I've seen! So even if your animal is skittish, I will happily mind their boundaries while showing them all the love I can. I also prioritize an animal's safety above all else, and am extremely attentive to what mischief your pet might be getting up to.
