“Alex was amazing. She took care of our dog and cat, both can by a little challenging, and did everything we asked. We would definitely recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets.”

“Lisa took such good care of our two dogs while we were gone for 5 days. She sent the right amount of pictures and updates, left the house super clean and even had to deal with unexpected snow. She went above and beyond as a dog sitter and I would highly recommend her. Thanks Lisa!!”

“Haley is a phenomenal dog sitter, we were extremely pleased with her attention to detail and gentleness with our very shy and excitable pit bull. She is a wonderful communicator and spent a lot of quality time with our dog. I will absolutely refer her as a pet sitter to any friend in need.”

“Ava was a lifesaver and a great sitter for my two pups. I had a dog sitter cancel and she stepped in at the last minute. She was very responsive and sent updates often. I will definitely ask her to sit with my pups again.”

About: I have taken care of a variety of breeds and ages of both dogs and cats. I have been entrusted with everything from an occasional walk to month long home stays. I would be so excited to take care of your fur-babies. I have plenty of availability in mornings and evenings to take care of your pets. I work part time mid day around lunch. I have plenty of availability on weekends. I will take care of food and water, and be sure to clean and replace dishes as needed. I am very active and would love to take your dog for walks. Additionally, I will keep a watchful eye over your dogs ensuring they get regular bathroom breaks.
“Thank you so much Alex and Christina for always taking the best care of our dogs, sending all of your photos and updates and leaving our home in excellent clean condition! It makes our vacations very relaxing knowing the dogs are having a good time too!”


About: I’ve grown up around pets and taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits. I’m currently in college and don’t have a part time job, so my schedule is mostly free. I am currently working part-time as a babysitter, and I go to university in the fall and spring, keeping me close to the area at all times. My schedule is very open, so I will be able to spend adequate time playing with and giving attention to your pet! I treat all animals with love and respect, just as I would treat my own. I am flexible, being able to provide care for your pet and open communication for you!
“We love having Abby at our home with our baby Cody! I feel very comfortable with her. Yes I’m one of those that is is my boy and he has my heart. So yes she’s good. And Cody loves her. She treats him so well. Just like I would like her too!”


“Melissa had great communication and took great care of our Labradoodle and Beagle. The weather was nice so our beagle was in and out constantly. Beagle shenanigans! We will definitely use Melissa again. I couldn’t provide additional feedback since it was grayed out but house was as we left it with no issues. Thank you, Melissa!”

About: I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments, ranging from puppies to senior dogs, friendly dogs and aggressive dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I owned, cared for, and trained a German Shepherd. I currently own 2 Australian Shepherds, one whom I trained myself. I am very flexible this summer so I can take last minute bookings. I can do any time of day. My weekends are available also for walking, check-ins, or boarding! 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. I am able to take your dog on walks/runs or play with them inside the house. I can take them outside to the bathroom, feed them, whatever your dog needs!
About: What sets me apart is the amount of care, attention, and patience I give every pet. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m very dependable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, including puppies who need extra patience and consistency as well as older dogs who may need a calmer environment and extra attention. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, going on walks, playtime, and keeping up with routines that help pets feel at home. I also know how important updates are for owners, so I make sure to send pictures and check ins so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule for the summer, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m also planning on starting a part-time serving job, but I’ll still have a flexible schedule and will always make sure your pup’s care and routine come first. I’m able to adjust my schedule as needed to make sure pets are comfortable, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve. (Not sure if I’m going to pursue the serving job) I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. My home has a fenced in yard, giving dogs a secure space to play, exercise, and go outside safely while being supervised. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets feel comfortable by keeping them on their regular routine and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing and keeping company, I’m happy to match their needs and routine. I can also run with your dog if they are full of energy! I am a chiropractic student at Logan University, so spending time with animals is the perfect balance to my busy schedule. I have a dog named Scotch who lives at my home in Ohio. Since I don’t have a dog here, I appreciate the opportunity to walk and care for local pets! I just started on Rover, but I have lots of experience walking dogs through the Wag app and caring for family and friends’ pets while they’re away. At the moment, I’m unable to board pets due to my roommate’s dog, but I am available Thursday mornings from 6-9am and in the afternoon/evenings for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I am also free all day most weekends and I also do overnight stays for weekends. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I would closely follow your pet’s routine and schedule to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, while giving them plenty of attention, care, and exercise!
About: I have been taking care of dogs of any kind ever since I can remember! I have been working at a local daycare and boarding facility for two years, and have been taking care of neighbor and family dogs for my whole life, I promise to give you an above and beyond experience! ❤️ I work part time at a local daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of time on my hands! I am home from college for the summer, so I am willing to spend as much time as possible with your pet! I have a sweet elderly dog named Olive to keep your pet company! And most importantly, I have a large yard to keep your dog active and on their feet!
“Audrey was amazing! She was super communicative, took great care of our good boy, and left our home spotless. We felt totally at ease while we were away — highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve worked at Banfield pet hospital in different states, expanding my knowledge of different species from different regions. My grandmother owned a grooming business when I was a little rascal, which allowed me to be around fluffy friends all day. I work a typical day shift so my home is up and active by 6:30am every weekday and we’re on a walk before I head off to work. Evenings consist of walks before and after dinner. I allow animals to roam home as a part of their natural curiosity. I’ll have very deep conversations with my furry friends because I know for a fact they understand me, just as I do them. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and, on average, I bike 10 miles a day to stay in top shape.
“Madeline was very patient with our dog as he was not use to her the first couple days and was very sketched out and timid. She took her time letting him get comfortable with her and did everything she could to make it work. By the end of their time together, they were besties! She did everything as instructed and we came home to the house the way we left it. She also sent us pictures daily of our pup and kitty. We will definitely be using her for future sitting and highly recommend her to others.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chesterfield
Abby was great with our pets. Our dog is somewhat anxious with new people and has had some issues with not eating his meals when he is not around us. He seemed comfortable with her by the following day after she came to our house. She kept us updated with texts and pictures over the 4+ day stay.
Adam was so enthusiastic about meeting my pets- it’s nice to find someone who isn’t apprehensive about my large, boisterous German Shepherd. I loved that he was able to spend most of his time in the home while sitting rather than just dropping in a few times. He was also super flexible when a snowstorm made our travel plans change. Thanks, Adam!

FAQs for House Sitting - Chesterfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chesterfield on Rover is $41.38 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 1,694 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.
