Information Chesnut S. would like to know about your pet

My dogs get along with all dogs with proper introduction. If there are special needs we can discuss and see if I am able to accommodate.

A typical day

Start the day with a long walk / dog park, midday potty break and yard simulation or dog park, evening walk. One of my dogs also will play with the visitor during the rest of the day (3.5 year old 3 legged chihuahua) and my other dog is 12 y/o and prefers to nap all day.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Chesnut. I’m kind and compassionate and will love caring for your furry buddy. I have grown up taking care of my family’s dogs and have two of my own for the last five years. P.s. If you have a really active dog, I love taking dogs on runs or hikes or long walks.

Chestnut is fabulous! This was our first time leaving our 3 year puggle behind on vacation, she was loved and well cared for and we had zero worries. Love that we have a found a great sitter. Highly recommend.

Great experience—communication before and during Jeter’s stay with Chesnut was fantastic. She really went above and beyond to make sure that Jeter had everything he needed. Highly recommend her.

Wonderful experience. Cinder was so happy when we arrived to pick her up after her stay. This was booked last minute but this sitter was so flexible and helpful. Highly recommend!

Chestnut was awesome- we felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 year old cocker with her. It was obvious. To me that she loved dogs and mine would get amazing care & love. She sent daily updates & pictures which my entire family loved seeing. She communicated before, during and after my dogs stay. We had never used Rover before but would most definitely use Chestnut again should the opportunity arise. It was a good feeling and comfort to know our dog was in good hands.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
