“Bennett was fantastic! He was professional, communicative and truly looked after our lil pup. Having him taking care of our pet helped us have a great vacation. We will definitely work with Bennett in the future and he made a forever furry friend!”
“Perri was great. I had a lot of unknowns with my dog's diet because he became ill right before my trip. Perri worked with us to navigate his eating behaviors and kept me up to date on everything! I would definitely hire Perri again.”
“Ava watched our senior, blind dog Bella yesterday. She did a great job! She sent us a pic of Bella with an update of how she was doing. She was attentive when we were describing Bella's routine. We recommend her highly.”
About: I have a perfect record that includes over 100 five-star reviews on another platform and am taking my skills and experience to this one. I've always had dogs and always connected with animals and friends and family have recognized that affinity and felt comfortable and trusting their fur babies to my care over the years. I've worked with shy dogs, anxious dogs, aging dogs, dogs with high medical needs, puppies, power breed dogs, tiny dogs, and pretty much any other kind you can imagine. I'm looking forward to giving your pet the same high level of care! I have a flexible schedule that I control, so I have a lot of availability to help you care for your pets. I don't even mind the early morning or late evening walks! I have many regular clients, and they tend to pick me when they need someone reliable (to care for their pets when they're away, to show up on time for a 6am walk before an important procedure, to care for a dog who needs extra patience or care for medical needs, etc.). I was a store assistant manager for 15 years, so I know how to keep calm in emergency situations and understand the responsibility of having people who are relying on me. I also have a musical background, so I'll probably end up singing to your animals like a Disney princess at some point.
“Sweet and kind to our pups, respectful of our home and patient with our anxiety about leaving our pups. Super nice person who asked great questions about caring for our girls. We will definitely reach out to her again when needed to ask if she is willing/able to work with us. ❤️”
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!
“Charity was amazing! She stepped in and helped us when we needed someone to come and take care of our dogs last minute. She showed care for our home, make sure the dogs were cleaned up a little bit after having a muddy time outside, and just show them love and care while taking care of them! We will definitely be using charity again !”
“Kelscey was AMAZING with our 3 dogs. We have 1 dog that is very shy with new people. Kelscey went above and beyond making sure our dog, us, and herself were comfortable before we went on vacation. She also sent pictures of my fur babies every day. She gave medication, walked, fed and loved on my babies while I was gone. We will definitely use her again if we go out of town. She was amazing!”
“Lisa stayed at our house with the pups for just over 2 weeks while we were away. We were nervous about hiring a new sitter, especially for such a long period, but she was fantastic. We even had a travel delay coming back, and she stayed an extra night to care for our pups (it was a HUGE relief!). The pups seemed very happy and well cared for, and so did our house. Her and her boys were a pleasure and we would absolutely book them again.”
About: I have worked with dogs for quite a while now, started off as a boarding attendant at kennelwood, then managed some group play at dogtopia. I do now work full time at a spa. But, I am looking forward to taking care of your pet rather that’s dog-walking, pet sitting! I do know how to administer medication, and care for senior pets! Questions? book with me today. This is a part-time thing for me. I work full time at a veterinary clinic! This is more of a monthly thing for me. I care for pets in clients home, same with drop-in’s and walks. I stay in contact with clients via text/call. I always provide pictures during the stay.
“Thomas was professional and provided excellent care from the first message to his time spent with Owen. It was not your standard "house sitting" since he did not have to stay overnight but provided the help needed while I was away for the day. He came to meet us first so he could learn more about Owen and the things to make their time together go smoothly. Owen had a great time with Thomas playing outside at his house and then was able to get him home safely to sleep in his own bed. I appreciate the care Thomas provided and was so helpful to ensure Owen was comfortable with him. I look forward to having him watch Owen next time.”
“Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet girl Roxie. She kept us informed of how Roxie was doing, when she would eat as well as send us cute pictures of how happy she was playing with her toys. It was so nice to get her messages and relieved some stress we had when leaving Roxie… especially with her arthritis. This was our first time using Rover and we had a wonderful experience with Molly. We will plan to ask her to stay again on our next out of town trip!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 15+ years! I grew up with 2 dogs and went on to be a dog mom for 2 of my own. I also supported friends with their dogs on the side and have experience with both small and larger dogs. I am very comfortable with taking care of and treating your dogs like they are my own! My schedule is open and flexible right now, allowing me to be available after 9am on weekdays and available 2 weekends each month. My schedule is open to change for house sitting needs. Safety and trust are my top priority! Your dog will always be supervised and have my full attention. I'm very attentive to your pets feeding schedules, medications, routine activities, and special care instructions. Communication is key and I ask that all your dog’s unique needs are discussed beforehand.
“We could not be happier with our decision to book Gabrielle. She stayed with our 10 week old puppy for 2 weeks and was amazing with him. She took him to a vet appointment, gave him medications, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very communicative and was updating us with pictures and videos. We came home after a long trip to a spotless house. Couldn't recommend her more!”
“Christina and her mom did a wonderful job with my two dogs and my cat while my daughter and I were away for 10 days. It was a long time to be away and Christina reassured me every day with pictures of my pets. Christina and her mom came by for a meet and greet before we left, which was also reassuring. I would recommend Christina V and hope to use her and her mom in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is hands-on experience with big, high, energy breeds and young pets. I grew up around Labs, German Shepherds, and Akitas, so I'm comfortable handling large or strong dogs confidently and safely. Whether it's a rowdy young pup or a full house of large breeds, I know how to keep things calm, safe, and fun. Since I work from home, my schedule is pretty flexible day to day, and even more so on weekends. That means I can genuinely be there for your pet, not just check in quickly. When things get busy or chaotic in your world, I'm glad to take pet care off your plate. My approach adapts to whichever service I'm providing, but the goal is always the same: keep your pet's routine as normal as possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chesterfield
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Chesterfield is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $78 per night. 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 1,632 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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 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.
