“This is the second time we have used Lauren to look after my little miniature schnauzer and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! She is kind, conscientious, professional and extremely accommodating. Thoroughly recommend!”

“I couldn’t recommend Tarrah more! We have never left Mackenzie before so it was quite nerve wracking as she is a nervous dog but Tarrah immediately put us at ease, she was easy to talk to and get on with and extremely understanding with Mackenzies nervousness and anxieties. She kept us up to date and informed with photos, messages and voice notes so we knew Mack was well cared for and happy! We got home to a very happy dog and the house was also super clean and tidy. 5 stars isn’t enough, thank you so much Tarrah! I bet Mackenzie can’t wait for us to go away again so she can spend more time with you!”


“Issy looked after our Airedale Terrier, Lexi for just over a week and we couldn't have been happier with her care. Lexi took to Issy immediately, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She left our home clean and tidy and provided us with regular updates. Issy has a wonderful way with animals, and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caring, responsive and trustworthy sitter.”


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.
“If we could have given more stars, we would have. Heather came into a really difficult situation in that we had just lost our cat Purdie. She was really great looking after Maddie and provided such good updates and pictures about how Maddie was, her eating and interacting. Thank you Heather”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, and my mother built her own dog walking business. I have tons of experience walking such amazing animals and taking care of your beloved pets! I can promise your pets lots of playing, cuddles, or patience. I’d like to do evening cat visits or daily walks around lunchtime. Weekends are also available any time needed’ Can do throughout the week if holiday care is needed! Im very attentive and will respond to any plea for attention a cat may give. However, Im also capable of giving space and time if an animal is a little on the shy side! I have a few like that at home.
“Kristine was excellent, her communication with us was great (lots of pictures and updates). She also left our house nice and tidy which was appreciated. Our pup was sorry to see her go. Thanks Kristine, until next time 😃”

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always felt instinctive to me. I pick up on small shifts in mood or energy quickly, and I let them set the pace rather than the other way around. Daily walks are one of my favourite parts of the job, not just a quick loop around the block but a proper outing where we both get to stretch, breathe, and reset. It's genuinely something I look forward to. I'll treat your space with the same respect I'd want for my own. I'm always happy to send photos and updates while you're away. A couple of things about me: I sometimes find animals easier to read than people, their signals are honest and immediate, and that's a language I've always felt fluent in. I think it's partly because I've had to adapt quickly to new places and cultures myself; it's made me a fast, attentive settler-inner, someone who pays close attention to the routines that matter to you and your pet. I'd love to get on a call beforehand to talk through your pet's routine. I can't wait to meet them! I'm generally available from Friday evening through Tuesday afternoon for walks and sittings. Outside of that, I have SEN (special educational needs) experience, I'm writing a book, and I do some part time videography work. My week has a good rhythm to it, and pet care is a proper, built in part of my routine rather than squeezed in around everything else. Walking is honestly what I look forward to most! A proper outing where we both get to stretch, breathe, and reset, not just a quick loop around the block. I also offer pet and house sitting at your home, and I always confirm exact availability before booking so I can give your pet my full attention for the time we've agreed on. I offer pet sitting and house sitting at the pet owner's home. When I'm in your home, I treat the space with the same respect I'd want for my own. I don't wander into areas that aren't mine to be in, I keep the home secure, and I follow your instructions closely on routine and any house rules. I send regular photo and video updates so you can see your pet is safe and settled, and I'm always reachable if anything comes up. I match feeding schedules, walk times, and any medication needs exactly as instructed, and I pay close attention during the settling in period especially, since that's when pets are most likely to be anxious or test boundaries. For dogs, walks are where I put the most energy and attention, proper time outside, lead safety, and sticking to the routes and rules you're comfortable with. For cats, I let them set the pace rather than forcing interaction, and I keep litter, feeding, and hiding spot routines exactly as they're used to.
“Morag was the perfect pet house sitter. She proved to be totally reliable, conscientious and caring. My dog Bertie was happy and content having his usual walks and home routine. As for looking after the house, it felt like I’d never been away as it was all left exactly as I’d left it for Morag. Big thankyou and I will but also definitely recommend Morag’s services and I’ve already shared Rover.com with friends.”

About: Hi, I’m Fiona. With 20+ years experience looking after family dogs I am extremely experienced. Please own requests for dogs under 7kg! Cats: My special passion is caring for stray and rescue cats in both the UK and Morocco. I have cared for entire cat and kitten families including feeding, socialising, administering medication, monitoring their health and helping vulnerable kittens thrive. Working with stray cats has developed my patience and compassion and how to build trust with the most shy and scared of animals. Every animal has their own personality. I completely respect that some love attention, whilst some just like a calm and reassuring presence. Whether your pet is a rescue, elderly, shy or needs medication and special care, I will care for them like they are my own. My priority is to make your pet feel safe and loved and give you complete peace of mind when you’re away. Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you. I work from home 8-17:15 and can be available at the weekends as well. I can make time for your pet throughout the day. I can be free for boardings as well week days and weekends on request I have a small patio with large walls and fence. I have no pets of my own. My house is a small terrace so no where really for them to go walkabouts and I can safely keep an eye on them.

About: Over 20 years looking after dogs with 18 months of doggy daycare, boarding and walking experience. I have great reviews and very reliable. Home from home love and care. I specialise in helping military families with their pets whilst loved ones are away. I am also fully insured for your peace of mind This is my full time occupation therefore your fur babies have my full attention, love and care they deserve. Plenty of time for walkies and belly rubs! I live in a very safe area, with woodland and fields within walking distance. My home offers a fenced garden with permanent access, so toilet access is always available.
“Poppy came to look after our dog Gabriel for the day so we could visit Chester Zoo. She came to meet Gabriel a couple of days before the actual date she was going to dog sit. Gabriel and Archie our elderly cat gave their approval and both made themselves at home with Poppy. Archie climbed up on her knee and Gabriel cuddled next to her. She was very friendly and we felt confident that she would look after our boys well. On the actual day she arrived very promptly giving us plenty of time to discuss any final instructions. When we returned 7 hours later Gabriel seemed very happy and content. We would happily book Poppy again if we needed a dog sitter again when we were in the Chester area.”

“We had Ellena for the first time last weekend for an overnight sit. Her communication was brilliant, lots of photos & videos. River took to her straight away & Ellena got her to take her medicine just fine. We will definitely be re-booking. ”

About: A few things about why I like to take care of pets, particularly of cats? This is just because I have a real, natural instinct and transparent purpose, as unfortunately I cannot have a cat due to my circumstances, however, I feel that something is missing so I found this more like a playful game for your pet, you and I. By spending high-quality time with them, so I can somehow fill that void of emptiness and need of having a pet (I would love a cat though) in my life. I would love to connect with every cat, but I reckon is not possible, because they are just cats, but I know I can do my best to gain at least their attention while you are away. I grew up surrounded by cats, always had cats around my home when I was a little and I have an immersive love for them! 🥰 Currently, I am offering services in Chester area (I can travel up to a max. 3-4 miles away) I'm here to help taking care of your furry/furries family member(s) and meeting all their needs while you're away. I will treat them like they are my own babies. For a personalised price, which might drop in most cases, please feel free to reach out. 😊 Thank you for reading my bio. I truly appreciate it! Currently I am working part-time from home, so I can easily adapt to your pet care routine. Your pet will come first, then my freelance projects, which does not have always a deadline. Even in those circumstances, I will adapt my schedule to fit your pet needs. Unfortunately, I cannot provide pet in my home offer. This service is not currently available due to my circumstances, such as private renting, where no pets are allowed.
“Cerys was fantastic, this is the first time we have had someone in house look after our two dogs and she was amazing. We arranged to meet first so she could meet herbie and Blu who both loved her. She kept us informed throughout our break letting us know how they were along with pictures of them enjoying walks together. We would highly recommend Cerys who was easy to deal with and fantastic with our two boys! Thank you Cerys!”

“Georgia was a great sitter. I hadn’t used the service before, but she was calm, practical, and reassuring throughout. She sent plenty of photos of the cat, left the place spotless, and communicated really well during her stay. I felt bad that she ended up house and pet sitting during our unexpected heatwave, but she handled everything so professionally. Highly recommend.”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Chester is £35

Devany is a pleasure to have minding our dog. Brolly is a nervous guy and took to Devany straight away. She is calm and relaxed which he obviously sensed, putting him at ease. We knew we could trust Devany with Brolly and our home straight away. Would definitely recommend

Emma housesat our dogs for 5 days/ 4 nights. She was very professional from start to finish. She was prompt with her arrival to them and stayed until we asked her to. She left the house in immaculate condition (evening emptying all the bins which was going above and beyond) She sent regular updates with pictures too. Thanks Emma and we will be using you again!

Caitlin was fantastic Pet Sitting in our own home for our 2 dogs, very professional from the very beginning.

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:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Chester walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
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 Chester choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
