About: From puppies to older dogs, I've done it all: taking puppies out every 2 hours at night, specific medications at certain times throughout the day, to planned walks/runs. I have experience with puppy training fostering and now I'm training my own kitten. I'm a senior college student who has a lot of time to spare- especially on weekdays! I'm always available to take dogs on walks, jogs, or just for a quick little stop in. Treating fur-babies like my own has always been an easy feat for me. When it comes to home saftey, whether it be my own or a clients, simple communication goes a long way. House rules, schedules and specifications are always a big thumbs up from me!

“Julianna was wonderful! She was communicative, quick to respond, and right on time for Georgia’s drop-in visits. She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Dante and I absolutely love dogs. I do not treat this as a job but as a privilege to take care of pets. I have always had a pet in my household, so I am very comfortable with dogs. I am young and promise I will have just as much energy as your dog does. I am very good at butt scratches and belly rubs. I will be prepared for any situation and I am very easy to contact. I understand plans get altered and I am flexible with changing schedules. I will treat your dog as I treat mine and make sure everything is done to the best of my ability. I hope you allow me to make your dog’s day the absolute best I can. Thank you

“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life and have always had a passion for animal care. I have experience watching dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I am comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure your dog feels safe and loved. I’m currently a full-time student and work part-time, but I maintain a flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I also do short farm work a few days a week, which has given me additional hands-on experience with animals. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. I help pets feel safe by keeping their routine consistent, using a calm approach, and giving them time to adjust. I provide a clean, secure environment and send regular updates to owners.

I currently have 3 rescue dogs, Marley (lab), Marshall (terrier mix), and Chester (Chihuahua). I also have 3 rescue cats, Tiger (orange tabby), Tabby (calico), and Boots (3 legged tuxedo). Other pets I have had/cared for include Birds, hamsters, fish, hermit crabs, & axolotl’s. I’m also a mom of two! I’m a special education school teacher on summer break!! My youngest daughter is 11, so I have more freedom and spare time on my hands. I love being outside and meeting your animals. Any pet that enters my home or if I enter theirs will be treated as if they are my own. Being that I am a schoolteacher all of my clearances are up-to-date. I have a large fenced in yard. My pets are used to meeting you animals and typically very friendly!! I’m also very used to cleaning up any kind of pet messes as well as administering any type of medication needed.

About: I have a love for all animals, but especially for dogs. I have experience with both dog day care and dog walking services. I have taken care of my own dogs over the years, both big and small, and would love to have an opportunity to care for others. I would love to sit for other kinds of pets as well. I have had a number of pets over the years, including cats, fish, birds, turtles, hamsters and geckos. I live right near the airport, so drop off and pickup around your vacation is super convenient! I am available all day every day to care for your pet. Spending quality time with animals is therapeutic for me. I love taking the time each day to care for them and play with them. I love exercising with pets and making sure they are happy and healthy. I prefer to spend at least an hour with each pet. Taking the time to play, exercise, and eat good food is essential! I love to make sure a pet's quality of life is just as good as mine.

Kai & Devon are great - would highly recommend to anyone in the area in need of a sitter. Took great care of our crazy cat while we were out of town - the Rover Cards they shared always had some great pictures and a funny little note about what new craziness our cat was up to that day.

Naomi has been so supportive related to our needs for a kitty caregiver. She visited with our two Siamese cats who can be a bit anti-social and picky eaters. They were so calm when I returned - relaxed and not anxious. She cared for all their food and personal needs - always checking in and keeping our family up to date! Thank you!!

Robyn is an absolute delight to us! She takes her job even more seriously than I could expect, and goes above and beyond in all ways. She is so good at caring for all our pets, kitty, toad, and turtle. Then she gives corn to the deer that come through our property! She follows every instruction perfectly, and is extra conscientious. We are so happy to have her help us when we are away!

Emma truly was incredible. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of our two WILD doggos while we were away. Our big dog is very anxious and she did great dealing with his behaviors. If she can take care of our two crazy rescue dogs, I am sure she will also do great with all dogs! So happy we found Emma. :) Highly recommend!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Chester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Chester is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 9,228 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chester. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
