About: Throughout my experience caring for animals, I’ve been responsible for a variety of daily pet-care needs, including feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning food and water bowls, maintaining clean living areas, giving pets attention and companionship, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. For cats and dogs, I’m comfortable with playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and keeping them on their normal routines. For smaller pets like hamsters, I can provide food, fresh water, and habitat cleaning. I also have experience caring for fish, including feeding and maintaining a clean environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine so I can recognize when something seems unusual. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from owners to make sure their pets receive consistent care while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m comfortable working around a pets established routine and making sure they receive consistent meals, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and attention. In a clients home, I’ll treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and keep their environment clean and safe. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is doing well while you’re away.

“Megan is the best. I never have to worry about leaving my baby girl thanks to her. Megan always takes such great care of her and sends me updates consistently. Highly recommend her!”
About: Life is Good with pets! I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs for over 5 years. I have always had different dogs in my life from childhood to adulthood. I’ve seen how happy my own pet is from taking him on regular walks and I am excited to provide this same experience for other pets. I have a large, fenced yard in a semi-rural neighborhood, and I enjoy taking dogs on nice long walks. Pets are allowed on furniture to snuggle and I am also happy to crate train pets, if preferred. I am currently working from home, so I have most of my time to give attention and love to your pet. I am happy to provide these services at all times. I have plenty space and a fenced yard for your pet to play or simple go on potty breaks, if needed. The services requested will be depending on the customers offer :)
About: I provide pet care with a genuine focus on safety, structure, compassion and comfort. I'm patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel secure, loved, and understood. I have experience with puppies, but senior pups have my heart. One thing my clients like is how connected they feel while they're away. I take lots of photos and videos throughout the day and send daily updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my priority, and I make sure you feel just as supported as they do. My goal is to make them feel at home and cared for and return back to you happy, relaxed and well cared for. I recently left my position as a General Manager to pursue my love for animals full-time, which means pet care is now the center of my daily routine. I structure my days around the pet's I'm caring for, making sure they get consistent walks, playtime, feedings and lots of snuggles. I am able to be flexible, responsive, and fully present with every pet in my care. Your pet will always have my time, my patience and my full commitment. My care is always tailored to each family’s needs and each pet’s personality. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your established routines—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any specific training or comfort needs. If you have a fenced-in yard, I ensure your pet gets safe outdoor time. If leash walking is required, I provide structured, attentive walks based on your pet’s energy level. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a calm, country setting with a large, open yard. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, safety is always my priority. Until I fully know and trust your pet’s recall, behavior, and comfort level, all outdoor time will be done on leash. Once I understand their temperament and you are comfortable, we can adjust as appropriate. No matter the environment, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, secure, and truly cared for whether I’m in your home or mine.

Working in a veterinary environment has also taught me how to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately when a pet may not be feeling their best.

I care for pets in my clients’ homes by keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. With 3 years of experience in the animal industry and my current work at a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chester Gap
This was our first time booking with Selina. We had a meet and greet prior to the sitting time. And, we knew at that time that she was the sitter for us. During our time away, Selina kept us informed and sent pictures. She even had a sighting or two of one of our kitties who normally hides from the world when we are away. Selina cleaned up after the cats eating sessions and kept our flowers alive. All of our cats were very happy in Selina's care and we will be booking again. Thank you Selina!
Leonarda takes such great care of our fur babies! She always arrives on time and gives our two dogs love while we are not home. Additionally she takes very good care of our home while she stays here. It is a relief to know our dogs and home are taken care of while on vacation!

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 Gap 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 Gap 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Gap 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!

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.
