“Joe was amazing with Stella!!! We had the added adventure of her being in heat 🤦♀️. He didn’t bat an eye and took such good care of her. She was so calm and gappy when we got home. He gave us updates so we could have a stress free weekend. We will definitely use his services again and recommend him to anyone looking for a referral!”
“Vicky watch my dog Prince for a week while I was away in that time Print became sick with a cough. Vicky kindly stayed in communication with me as I scheduled a vet visit. Photos were sent daily and Prince had a good time. Her price was slightly lower than other Rover’s which I liked! She did a great job and I would choose her again in the future”
About: Pets are family, so when I’m taking care of your child/home, I’ll keep it tidy, keep you updated, and keep in touch! I’m currently attending school full time, so I will be most available early mornings and later nights during the week. I am available all weekend Friday-Sunday. I have a big yard with a lot of land to work with. I have 2 friendly dogs of my own. I can leave a crate safely in my home as well.
“Robbie watched our 3 dogs and our cat for 9 days at our home. One of our dogs is a 5mth old Anatolian Shepherd and he is a handful. Robbie took such great care of not only our animals but our home too! She would also send us pictures and kept us updated on our fur-babies. I truly feel this was our 1st vacation worry free. We couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. If you need a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter…. I would definitely recommend Robbie. We are very thankful for her and we would definitely be using her again.”
“Nicole was excellent from start to finish. She was prompt, communicative, and caring for our pets and home. She sent us a ton of photos and left the house in a pristine condition. I would absolutely recommend her for all of your pet and house sitting needs.”
“Alicia and her boyfriend Jonah are without doubt the best house and pet sitters you could possibly have!! I was left pretty last minute without a pet sitter for my senior pup for a 10 day trip, Alicia took the time to come meet with her before our trip, and then while we were away she sent multiple pictures and videos updating us every day! The house was left spotless, communication was superb, overall great people and could not recommend her more!!! Id give 100 stars if I could!”
“Kristina is absolutely wonderful. We booked her kind of last minute as our previous sitter fell through. She was accommodating and made our anxious dog comfortable while she stayed in our home with him. I highly recommend Kristina & will absolutely book her again in the future if she is available.”
“Yeni was amazing with my dog. She was able to meet and watch him under short notice, was very professional and friendly. She followed his daily routine perfectly and sent me pics and updates during her time with him. I would totally recommend her!”
“Teadie cared wonderfully for our 3 dogs as if they were her own, and even took our Rambo to an emergency vet appointment. She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs a great dog sitter.”
“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”

I have a 1 furry friend "Mocha" but have had lots of experience with dogs, cats and other critters! I'm looking forward to sharing my all my love with your loved ones! I have the ability to care for your loved ones in the evenings and weekends and give them all the love in your absence and more! I choose to not pet sit in my home due having a young child but can happily care for your furry friends in there own home environment
About: I've grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I love animals and look forward to helping you care your your precious pets. In the past I have worked as a pet and house sitter for a couple families. I always enjoy any time spent with animals. I have flexible schedule making me available to care for your fur babies! I live in Guerneville, but frequently go to Sebastopol throughout the week. So mainly looking to work for ones in these areas. But open to adventuring in to further surrounding areas if its a good fit for us both! Currently I am not able to board pets in my home because I am renting. But I would be happy to stop by and spend time with your pets whenever is needed!
“Jill is fantastic! This was our second time having her watch our pups while we were away. She took great care of them and our doggos love her. She sent lots of pictures, which we love seeing.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since middle school, including over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Aubrey. I've also had family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to walk, feed, groom, and care for their pets. Over the years, I've gained experience with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Golden Retrievers, mixed breeds, Yorkshire Terriers, hounds, Chihuahuas, and Corgis. I especially enjoy caring for senior pets and making sure they receive the patience, attention, and affection they deserve. I like spending quality time with them, grooming them, observing their behavior and how they're doing, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I've also expanded my experience through volunteer work with Rockland Orange Furrever Homes and the Hudson Valley SPCA, where I've worked with shelter animals and gained additional experience observing animal behavior and providing hands-on care. Whether your pet needs a good walk, a meal, some grooming, companionship, or simply someone who will give them plenty of love and attention, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy making time for walks, play, grooming, companionship, and simply getting to know each pet's personality and routine. I'm able to be flexible with my availability and want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, provide fresh water and meals according to the owner's instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and exercise. I also pay close attention to their behavior and overall condition so I can recognize anything unusual and communicate concerns to their owner. During walks, I use safe handling practices and stay aware of the pet's surroundings, other animals, and potential hazards. I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.
“Sacia did great with my boys, my family and I where away for 11 days and she kept my boys safe and loved the whole time. My boys loved having her here, they got to sleep with her on the couch and so they where extra spoiled. I didn’t have to worry about the at all my family and I where able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups where ok. Thank you Sacia!”
About: I have experience with being around animals since I’ve been 5 years old. I have two dogs of my own and three cats as well. I will make sure the animals are comfortable, loved and taken care of properly. I am patient, caring, and have high energy. I am big on play time and walks and making sure they get their exercise for the day. I have walked dogs before and also provided in house care for several of my neighbors and close family friends. I really do enjoy being around animals and find it very relaxing. I’m a college student and can be very stressed at times so getting to play with an animal really is something I look forward to. Thank you (: On a daily basis I am always making sure my animals are fed, getting play time in, cuddles and more! They are so important to me! Making sure my pets always have water and their litter box is clean on a daily basis. I always ensure they get little extra treats throughout the day as well as cuddles!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chester on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,462 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Chester walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Chester maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Chester choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's 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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
