About: Hiya, I’m Tarrah and I’ve been caring for animals pretty much my whole life. I grew up surrounded by animals and have spent the last 5 years pet sitting and the last 2 years house sitting for people around the world and in the UK. I genuinely treat pets like family, and I’m big on routines. I’m very intuitive with animals, and I take time to understand each pet as an individual. Different personalities need different care, and I always adjust to what your pet is comfortable with, and needs. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos while you’re away, and the peace of mind that your home and your pet are being looked after properly. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior and end-of-life pets, so I’m comfortable with both high-energy and gentle, slower routines. I have such a special connection with animals that growing up, my nickname was Ace Ventura and Dr Dolittle… which honestly still feels pretty accurate 😅. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. If you’re looking for someone calm, reliable and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to help. I work fully remotely and run my own business, which means my schedule is completely flexible. I can fit in walks, playtime, feeding, medication and cuddles throughout the day, and I’m always available to respond to updates or messages. Whether your pet prefers structured routines or more relaxed days, I can adapt to their needs and ensure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet at mine, I make sure the environment is secure, clean and calm. I follow your instructions to the letter, feeding, walks, medication, routines - and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and temperament. I also provide regular updates, photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and loved.
“Nia was fabulous with the cats and sent some lovely updates! They're not too comfortable around strangers but warmed up to Nia really quickly. I will definitely be calling Nia again for any future cat sitting.”
About: Hey! I’m Rebecca a longtime animal lover and professional photographer, I’m very privileged to work with dogs in my line of work, so rest assured your pets are in safe hands! I have previously looked after dogs for family and friends including nervous dogs. I also love to go on walks so would be willing and able to take your dogs for long walks. I’m currently a student going into my master which is one day a week, however I am on summer break at the minute so have all the time in the world to look after your little darlings! I am experienced with nervous dogs so I know when to let your pet have some downtime! I check in regularly and make sure they are okay and happy.
“Lauren came to visit our two cats beforehand and they took to her straight away. I felt like they were in safe have while we were away and I really appreciated the photos and updates 😁”
“Morag was absolutely wonderful looking after our indoor cat, she was really intentional about making sure she learnt about him beforehand and that we were a right fit for eachother, and sent plenty of updates and pics while we were away. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“Leah was a really great sitter, conscientious, quick to reply to messages and looked after our boys really well. We could relax and enjoy our time away knowing our boys were in great caring hands. Thank you!”
“Lauren has dog sat for our 3 Maltese dogs on numerous occasions and the dogs love her. She is very reliable and professional, very easy to deal with, asked all the right questions and clearly understood our dogs needs. We would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again!”
About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs for a long time. I also walk an elderly ladies dog through the Cinnamon Trust. I love spending time with dogs. I'm currently taking a summer break from work after 20 years, therefore I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I enjoy walking dogs in the park right by my house. I have a fenced decent sized garden for pets to enjoy. I enjoy a walk in the local park and fields for them to enjoy. I enjoy spending time with pets and I' very trusted to look after and care for them.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs in a home environment. I helped train and house-train a cockapoo puppy from a young age and regularly cared for him while my parents were at work, including feeding, walking, playing, and general daily care. He is now 6 years old, and I have continued to spend many days alone with him. Three years ago, we also welcomed a second rescue cockapoo with more nervous and overexcited tendencies, so I have experience managing different personalities and supporting him both individually and alongside our other dog. I am confident with daily routines, walks, feeding, and providing calm, attentive care. I also have experience with cats through friends and family, although I have more experience with dogs. I'm currently a dietetics student at the University of Chester living on Chester campus but I am moving to a 4 bed house from August. I have time for walks and home visits and sometimes have availability on request for duration stays in Chester. I would care for pets in an owner’s home by following their usual routines closely to help the pet feel safe and settled in familiar surroundings. I would prioritise safety by making sure doors, gates, and leads are secure before and during walks, and by being attentive to each pet’s behaviour and needs at all times. I understand the importance of trust when entering someone’s home, so I would treat the property with respect, follow any instructions carefully, and maintain clear communication with the owner. I would provide regular updates if requested, including messages and photos, so they feel reassured while away. As I live on campus accommodation where pets aren’t allowed, I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and staying in the client’s home when needed. I am comfortable adapting to each pet’s routine and environment to ensure consistency, comfort, and low stress for them.
“Isabella is a pleasant young woman and obviously loves animals. She looked after our 2 tabbies, including giving one of them medication, while we were away for a few days, and kept us up to date with photos and videos. We returned to happy, well cared for cats.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover based in Chester, currently working as an animal keeper, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals and understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply giving them lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m confident with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. As an animal keeper, I’m already dedicated to providing consistent, high-quality care for animals every day. Outside of work, I care for my own pets, making sure they receive all the love, attention, and structure they need to stay happy and healthy. Balancing professional animal care with personal pet sitting keeps my days full of purpose, compassion, and happy paws. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, secure, and happy in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, ensuring minimal disruption to their normal schedule. I provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and attention while also keeping their space clean and safe. I also stay in close contact with owners, sending regular updates and photos so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.
“Thomas accommodated my last minute booking and set my mind at ease leaving my cats for a few days. He is very attentive and the cats loved him! I will always book Thomas when I go away. I couldn't be happier. He is really nice and I came home to happy cats and a clean area!”
“Ellena has looked after Tinker & Luna a few times now. The cats are happy which makes me happy. This time Ellena was flexible when I had to unexpectedly ask for an additional visit.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter :-). My cat took to Eli straight away, which rarely happens as she's quite a nervous cat. It put my mind at ease and it was clear that Eli has a genuine love for animals. Eli was super reliable and sent messages and photos daily so that I knew my cat was happy and being well cared for. She fed her, played with her and gave her lots of cuddles. I'd highly recommend Eli to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have looked after dogs, cats, and small animals, as well as people's homes. Having previously had two beautiful and loving, high-energy, cats (a Bengal and a Bengal-Ragdoll cross), as well as looking after young energetic puppies, I am comfortable caring for the needs of individual animals. I work fully-remote, so if your pet is used to having company during the day, that's great. I can take flexible breaks and provide walks/playtime and general care throughout the day. I have a safe 4x4 with a fitted dog guard to keep pets secure, in their own space. My garden is securely fenced so animals can run around outside without worry.
“Alexandra is a fantastic cat sitter; diligent, friendly, looks after the cats so well and left the house neat and tidy. She keeps in regular contact and goes above and beyond to give me piece of mind when I’m away from home.”

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Chester
Laura was fantastic with our boy Pickles. We came back from our trip away to him acting like nothing was different and we had been home the whole time. Laura was very easy to communicate with and kept us thoroughly up to date on all of Pickles visits, with some of the funniest pictures we've seen of Pickles yet! We would highly recommend Laura for your pet sitting needs and will be looking to rebook with her again in the future. Thanks Laura!
I am really happy with Daisy. I knew from meeting her that she was experienced and caring with cats and even gave us some valuable advice when we reported some "odd" behaviour. My cat was well cared for, allowing us to relax on our holiday. We look forward to booking with Daisy again.
Chloe has been absolutely fantastic and I'm sure she's replaced me as Miri's favorite human! It made a real difference to our holiday, having complete peace of mind that Miri was content and well looked after. I really looked forward to the daily updates that Chloe sent me about what Miri was getting up to, how she was eating, and the cuddles she was getting, and sent great photos and videos of their play sessions. It was fantastic to see Miri so content and getting some love. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Chloe, and would not hesitate to ask her to look after Miri again.
Would recommend caitlin to look after your fussy pussys. Caitlin looked after my two very different cats, one shamelessly craving affection, the other very shy over 5 days. Both were well cared for and caitlin kept me up to date with photos of ginge happily sitting on her knee soaking up the attention. Thank you caitlin would happily use you again if you'd have us 😻
Emma was great. We had a visit prior to our booking date so she could meet our cat. He was very shy at first but she gently got him to come round. She followed our instructions to the letter and sent us regular updates on his behaviour and eating. We’ll be booking her again
I would 100% recommend Heather in a heartbeat. She is calm, efficient and exactly what we needed to visit and feed our extremely nervous little cat while we were away. We got daily updates and it was obvious that Heather genuinely cares about animals and their welfare. Thank you so much Heather, I shall be telling friends and neighbours about your excellent service.
Isabella is a pleasant young woman and obviously loves animals. She looked after our 2 tabbies, including giving one of them medication, while we were away for a few days, and kept us up to date with photos and videos. We returned to happy, well cared for cats.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Chester on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 836 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Chester. About 93% of Chester sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
