“Bonnie was absolutely wonderful with our dog Bruno, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Before the booking, Bonnie took the time to come over for a meet and greet so we could go through Bruno’s routine, needs, and any special instructions. That immediately gave us confidence that Bruno would be in great hands. While we were away, Bonnie sent thoughtful updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. She was a fantastic communicator, prompt, reliable, and very attentive. She took Bruno on a nice long walk, and the sweetest surprise was when she gave him a little St. Patrick’s Day scarf. It was adorable and showed just how much care she puts into the dogs she looks after. When we returned home, she had also left a lovely “thank you for choosing me to look after Bruno” card along with special treats for him. Such a thoughtful touch. Bonnie was incredibly gentle, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We completely trust her with both our dog and our home, and we would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter. Thank you again, Bonnie, Bruno already misses you! 🐾”
About: I’m a reliable and confident pet sitter. I love the days I get to spend with dogs, cats, and other animals. I have plenty of experience with animals with different temperaments, sizes, and medical issues. I understand each animal has its own routine. I am dedicated to following each animal's unique routine to make their days as stress free as possible. I have had dogs and rodents my entire life, but have plenty of experience with other animals such as cats, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, and fish. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your home. I share updates and photos daily. My ultimate goal is to provide your pets with the best care possible and for you to feel comfortable and confident when you are away from them. I pet sit full time. I am available every day of the week at anytime. I always do a house visit beforehand so your pet can become familiar with me. I understand each animal has its own routine.

“Lauren has stayed with our 3 dogs and 1 cat several times. They love her. This time we were out of the country for 2 weeks, a first for us. Lauren stayed at our house, took care of our babies and kept us informed. It is great to be able to leave for that long, enjoy our vacation and not feel too guilty about leaving them behind. We will always book with Lauren when she is available.”
About: I have worked in the veterinary medical field for 6+ years and have thousands of hours of experience as a veterinary assistant. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats, with all different personalities- that’s what makes them all unique and I love it! I am currently very flexible with my weekly routine and I am more than happy to meet with you beforehand if you feel more comfortable. As an avid cat owner, I have Toulouse naturally leash-trained. I have an enclosure for him so he can enjoy the outside, while also being safe. At clients’ homes, I follow all instructions to make sure the pet is safe. I also will make sure the pet is always in my sight if outside.
About: Although I've never owned a dog, I have watched plenty for my friends and family. I love caring for dogs because there is never a dull moment. I'm a big walker, and I love when I dog sit and get some company on my walks. I am currently a full time student, with most of my classes being in the late afternoon/ early evening. With that being said, most mornings I am available. Cats don't require quite the same amount of attention as dogs, so I can always stop in to check on them before and after my class during the evening if needed. I treat every home I care for — including my own — like a safe, calm space for pets. At my place, my four cats have a predictable routine with plenty of food, water, litter boxes, and quiet spaces to retreat to. I pay close attention to their behavior, making sure everyone is comfortable, calm, and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and respect the environment they’re used to. I keep their space tidy, maintain their usual routines, and ensure they have everything they need to feel safe — whether that’s food, water, clean litter boxes, or quiet corners to relax. I also observe interactions and personalities, adjusting my approach to match each pet’s comfort level. Updates and photos are part of my care so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and secure.
“Gabby was great. She hung out with my three dogs and two cats for several hours. They had only met her one time prior, so I wasn’t sure how they were going to respond. They were all cuddling in no time. I had total peace of mind while Gabby was here. She’s trustworthy and she kept me up-to-date with photos! It took me a long time to pull the trigger with Rover, I wish I would’ve done it sooner. Thank you Gabby!”
“Excellent care and communication while we traveled internationally. The daily photos were a huge amount of comfort while away. The pets seemed very happy. Would definitely book again!”
“We wholeheartedly recommend Nicholas for dog sitting! He took exceptional care of our dog during the week we were away. We were so impressed with his dedication to ensuring all of her needs were met. He diligently walked her for a full hour each day, made sure she had plenty of food and water, and was consistent with her potty breaks. What we appreciated most was the time Nicholas spent at our house, providing our dog with the companionship she needed. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she wasn't just being cared for, but also had someone there with her. We will absolutely be hiring Nicholas again in the future!”
“Mariah was fantastic! Our nervous dog has a hard time when we leave and Mariah was so great with him! He was nervous at first but warmed up quickly and was happy to follow her everywhere. She sent regular updates, left the house in perfect condition, and even left a little “doggy report card” which was so nice to come home to. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Jamie was great! She offered a meet and greet prior to the actual date needed. She provided update pictures throughout the visit. She was willing to work with me on an appropriate schedule time for the start and end time. Will definitely use in the future! Thanks again!”
“We found Lizz when we had a sitter cancel at the last minute due to a family emergency. In a panic, I found Lizz and she was extremely responsive and came to sit for our boys a few days after I contacted her. Would recommend her for any pet sitting. Thanks Lizz!”
“We have a new puppy that we adopted that isn’t fully potty trained yet. Sarai actually stayed with her (and our older dog) while we were out at a party and did a great job. She was very punctual, friendly, and our dogs loved her. Thank you Sarai!”
“Melissa was wonderful. Right on time, followed instructions, and took excellent care of my puppy. Definitely would recommend her to others and will be using her again in the future.”
“Anna was very flexible and took great care of my dogs while I was away. She communicated well and gave me updates until I was home. My dogs were all comfortable with her immediately and my house was well taken care of.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chesterfield
Gabby is the most kind, caring and responsible person to watch over your fur babies while you are gone. We have never had a dog sitter before because family were available, but not this time. I was very hesitant and anxious about having someone I do not know, come and stay in my house all night and take care of my precious doggies, for over twelve days ,but Gabby alleviated all of my fears with her continuous communication , photos, and answering my phone calls. My one older dog, Coco proved to be a challenge with her barking and not wanting to have a stranger in our house, but Gabby was able to work with Cocoa and slowly, but surely win her over 😀 Gabby also did so many extras that I never expected. She took our trash out. She made sure to check daily for our mail and the porch for any packages. She left the house spotless; vacuuming, mopping floors, cleaning up after the dogs; even watering my flowers on the patio , feeding my fish and filling up the bird feeder with seed. I recommend Gabby with a five star review for anyone that wants to go on a vacation , out of town for business whatever they need to do whether it's for just a few days or several weeks, and know that their fur babies are in loving and responsible hands.Thank you, Gabby you are Extraordinary!
Kelsey took great care of our 2 boys and then were very happy staying in the house and having her there with them. She respected our property and cleaned up dishes, towels, and sheets before she left. The daily updates allowed us to feel comfortable that everything was going well and the boys were happy. Will definitely utilize Kelsey's services again!!
Christy stayed over night with my very active puppy. My dog and house were in pristine condition when I returned. My puppy has thick, long hair (Maltese) and he didn’t have a single tangle. My home looked like no one had ever been there, maybe even better!! I was sent regular updates complete with videos and pictures. It sure looked like he was having fun. I would not hesitate to have Christy again whenever I need to go out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Chesterfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chesterfield on Rover is $67.41 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,562 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chesterfield. 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 Chesterfield 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 Chesterfield 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 Chesterfield 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.

- 98% 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.
