“Valeria, stayed overnight to take care of our three dogs. This was our first time using Rover and we were so fortunate that she came to help us out with the overnight stay. She did a great job communicating and sending picture of the dogs. We will definitely use her services again.”
“My dog usually does not eat whenever her family is not home. It’s been a thing every time we’ve left her with someone else. She is so comfortable and happy with Madi, she’s eaten every meal and is a calm happy dog when we get home! Also, I come home to my house being cleaner than I left it,(which was not part of the agreement) but a very welcome surprise! All the stars for this girl! She is amazing!”
“savannah was excellent, always kept me updated and really paid close attention to my dog who i love so much. i felt so great on my time away knowing she was there to help us and care for him.”
“Gabby was amazing! She was very responsive, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our girl while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Sagal treated Lexi like her own which was all that mattered in our book. Lexi ate well while we were gone, and full of energy when we returned so I know she was happy while we were out of town. Sagal left our house in a clean orderly manner. I’d definitely use her again if she were not moving away for college.”
“We had another great experience with Jenna! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our fur babies. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We would definitely book with Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Trena house-sat and watched our two boy dogs for the first time this past weekend and was amazing! We have a VERY shy younger pup and she handled him with patience and great care! She checked in and provided photos, which was reassuring on the first visit. Looking forward to having Trena house/pup-sit again for us very soon next month!”
“Britney was amazing with our dogs. We needed a dog sitter with relatively short notice and she made a point to visit prior to the stay to meet our dogs and take notes about their care. She gave updates and photos of the dogs each day and left our house in great shape. I highly recommend Britney as a responsible and attentive dog sitter. Thank you!!”
“Jeremy and Megan were wonderful to work with. This was our first time using someone other than friends and family and I don’t think we could have found better. They are kind and communicative. Our dog, Porkchop took to them right away, and we feel our boy got all the love he longs for while we were away. We will definitely use Jeremy and Megan again! Highly recommend.”
“So nice coming home to a happy and tired dog after a weekend away! I appreciated the photos, excellent communication and last minute flexibility! Will certainly be rebooking in the future!”
“Cate did an excellent job ? ? ? taking care of our puppies and our place. She is clean, extremely respecful and reliable. Our dogs bonded with her immediately after meeting her and we loved the peace of mind. Very responsive and flexible. Receiving pictures during our trip was awesome. Thank you so much for loving our babies...”
About: I have cared for and have loved all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. I can match your pet’s energy and be just as energetic or as mellow as your pet. I love the outdoors, especially hikes in the summer time. I’ve gotten tips from my dog-obsessed sister with training, and I am here to attend to all of your pet needs. I’m currently working full-time but I am available in the weekday evenings, Friday’s, and weekends to play with your pups! I make time each day for walks, play, and companionship to make sure pets feel cared for and comfortable while their owners are away. I care for pets in their owner’s home by maintaining their typical schedule as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walks, medication instructions, and any special care directions closely so pets feel safe in their home. I also treat each home with respect, keeping everything clean, secure, and providing regular updates so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: I grew up with dogs so I have experience with puppies - older dogs. I enjoy dogs of all ages and sizes. I have years of experience walking and dog sitting friends, families and neighbors dogs. I work from home / remotely so I have the flexibility to take care of your dog during the day and make sure they get the activity needed throughout the day. Will be available on weekends with enough notice. In my home I have a yard that dogs can access with a great walking area on leash. For taking care of a dog in clients home I will make sure there is nothing the dog can get into and check the surrounding environments to make sure the dog is protected at all times with out limiting activity.
About: I have taken care of pets for a while now. From horses to wiener dogs I have done it all! I started out just taking care of family pets and then slowly I started to hear from other people around town. I love taking care of any sort of dog they are my favorite. Whether the dog needed insulin or two walks a day I would do it. I love animals of all ages and taking care of them is so much fun! I am currently a student at MSU, my schedule has gaps in it so I would be able to go and let the animals out or check in on them when I am not in class. I currently live in the dorms so I would need to take care of the pet in the clients home. I am responsible and respectful young adult who will keep your home and pet in great condition.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chestnut on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 415 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chestnut. 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 Chestnut 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 Chestnut 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 Chestnut 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chestnut. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
