About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for over 5 years, building up plenty of hands-on experience with both cats and dogs. I have a real passion for animals and I’m a proud cat owner myself. I love spending time outdoors, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks, including longer, high-energy outings. At weekends, you’ll often find me out on hikes, which makes me a great match for active dogs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation. I take my friends spaniel quite often on long walks, have him for sleepovers and I love building a bond with dogs and fitting them into my routine. I’m reliable, caring, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work full-time, but I’m looking for something else in my life where I can help out and spend time with dogs. I’ll do my best to be available if you need me at specific times, though I do work from 8:30 to 5, however I do have the option to work from home if needed. I live in a semi-detached terrace house with a fenced garden. The stairs are quite steep, so any dog allowed upstairs would need to be able to manage them. There are plenty of nearby walking routes, and I also have a cat who is comfortable with dogs once she gets to know them - so a dog with prior experience around cats would be ideal.
“Melanie looked after out 2 cats for the first time ..one of which needed several medications per visit Melanie took care of these no problem ... Melanie sent us pictures and regular updates of that they were upto ..she has been fantastic and would definitely reccomend her”
About: I have my own large breed puppy in training and passionate about positive training and dog behaviour. I attend multiple classes a week with my own dog for continued training and can continue the same methods with your dogs. I have experience looking after friends and families dogs/puppies large and small! Enrichment training is just as important as physical exercise and I am able to undertake sitting visits with additional training exercises and enrichment including scent work games. I currently work a 9-5 job so have availability from 5pm-9pm Monday to Friday and full flexibility on weekends. I enjoy this job and will make time for your cat if I am needed - some flexibility is available. Your cats will be taken care of with the love, respect and care I would give my own. My cat clients will be taken care exactly how you want them to be and, your home secured and protected. I am used to accessing others properties to undertake a job caring for other animals and properties for friends and families. I have a full DBS and can provide recommendations.

About: I adopted a rescue German Shepherd cross 2 years ago and trained him from 5 months old. I love all animals and feel they should have the chance to live life to the fullest. With me your dog will have adventures, fun walks and play, socialisation with my dog, and a cosy place to relax. I am a full time dog walker and boarder. I provide solo and group walks, day care and boarding to give you peace of mind and your dog the best experience. I have a fenced garden and lovely walks along the canal. Merlin (my dog) is here to keep your fur baby company. I have separate rooms for if your dog needs some space.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats and been involved in looking after them since a young age. We’ve had lots of rescue animals and so have lots of experience dealing with shy and nervous animals. I work locally and from home through the week and manage my own schedule so can fit in visits around home life and work so can be quite flexible. I have a fenced back yard and locked gate and our house is at the end of a cul-de-sac so very quiet. The house has plenty of room inside for pets to play or have time on their own.
About: We’ve had pets all our lives, dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals. We’ve rescued dogs and cats and had large strong dogs including a Husky and Mastiff X. We've had dogs from puppies to 16 years old. We have looked after high maintenance dogs and reactive dogs. Ray also has Marine and Tropical fish and offers holiday care. With a lifetime of knowledge and experience, he's the man for the job. I am self employed and work on a part time basis, I drive and am happy to travel and work at times that suit you. I will care for your loved pets following your wishes and their needs. I would ensure their needs are being met. Years of experience and time available will allow me to be the most caring of sitter, walker, watcher or whatever you need.

Nicky has been our cat sitter several times now. She’s always been very reliable and already feels more like a friend than a sitter! A very trustworthy person, flexible, professional and caring. Just the qualities people hope to have in a sitter. We are very lucky to have someone like Nicky look after our cat. Thank you 🥰
Sharon was amazing! She really took her time and gave our cat, Boris a great fuss and made sure he was so well looked after whilst we were away for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and such a detailed message from each visit to him! She really made us feel completely at ease, I would recommend her to anyone! Will definitely be booking again xx

There are 1,019 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Chesterfield. About 91% of Chesterfield 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.
