“Nicola regularly walks our sausage dog Clive , she is very reliable and always so lovely. We feel very lucky to have Nicola and Clive loves her! Clive has recently had surgery which has meant there’s been lots of extra requests we have had for Nicola during her visits and she has been so kind and accommodating every time! We cannot recommend Nicola enough!”
“Lucy was absolutely brilliant while looking after my cat. From the moment we got in touch, her communication was spot on – always quick to reply and super friendly. While I was away, she sent regular updates and plenty of photos. I’d definitely recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet-sitter. Will 100% be asking her again next time I’m away.”
“We have booked Katie for the first time, on a last minute situation. She was replying very quickly and we got sorted in about 30mins. Our cats loved her and we got loads of photos showing that they eat, play and getting fuss. Katie is very easygoing and friendly and we’re happy we found her! Thank you Katie and probably see you next time!💜”
“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”
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.
“Emily is absolutely brilliant. She came over to the house on advance to meet us and our cat and during our trip kept us updated with regular messages, photos and videos which really helps to reassure you that everything is OK with your cat. Nothing was too much for Emily and we have already booked here again! FIVE STAR SERVICE”
About: Hi! 😊 I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including rescue dogs with complex needs. My partner and I share a calm, loving home with our own dog, Marnie, a medium-sized rescue who we adore. We spend most of our time with her and love including the dogs we care for in our everyday activities—whether that’s exploring new walking routes, relaxing at home, or discovering fun dog-friendly spots. I understand that every dog is unique, and were committed to providing care that’s tailored specifically to your dog’s needs and routines. If your dog is crate trained, we have a clean, comfortable crate available. If they’re used to being on furniture, they’re welcome to make themselves at home here. Sleeping arrangements are flexible too—dogs are welcome to sleep upstairs with us, downstairs, or in their crate depending on what works best for them (and you). I will work around you as best as I can, please just let me know what your dog needs so we can tailor our day to them. I take into account the needs of your dog whether that be that they want to be closer to me or they want space. I am happy to let them on furniture or if you would rather they don’t I will go by your wants and needs. My dog is part of the family and sticks by my side. We have a completely enclosed back garden for toilet breaks & play. We have a front drive but don’t let dogs onto it if not on a leash. I live in a quiet and calm area with a close by park for lots of walks. It is just me & my partner in the house so very little noise. Snacks & cuddles are frequent!
About: My husband and I are a team. 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.

About: I am a compassionate, lifetime dog lover with extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. Having recently cared for my own rescue dog until she passed at age 13, I am experienced in managing care needs—including mobility challenges, incontinence, and daily medication routines for senior pets. I understand how much gentleness, patience and attentiveness care rescue dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. My Experience & Skills = Professional Sitting: Previous experience as a professional nanny looking after family pets alongside children, as well as paid standalone pet sitting. All Sizes & Handling: Comfortable handling both small breeds and big, strong dogs who pull or walk rough on a leash. Flexible Schedule: I work remotely, meaning I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the day to keep your pets company, stick to feeding schedules, and give them the attention they deserve. I treat every dog with the same level of love and devotion as I treated my own, I miss her ever so much and would like somewhere to put some of that love and dedication now. I work remotely on my laptop with a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to easily fit pet care around my day. Because I can work from anywhere with Wi-Fi, I can stay at your home for house sitting without disturbing your pet's normal routine. I’m available for daytime drop-in visits, mid-day walks, and overnight stays, with complete freedom to give your pets frequent attention, play, and scheduled check-ins throughout the day. My priority is keeping your pets comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I treat every client's home with absolute respect, keeping it clean, secure, and quiet and have extensive experience doing this from my many years as a private nanny. I strictly follow your safety rules—whether that's double-checking gates and doors, managing leash safety during walks, adhering to precise feeding and medication instructions, or keeping a close eye on open windows for cats. Living alone and working remotely means I can provide focused, undivided attention and peace of mind while you're away.
“Katie was extremely professional, polite and very loving towards my two cats. It was the first time I had left them alone at home, but I need not have worried, as Katie took really good care of them. She made sure they always had enough food and water and that the cat lit tray was kept clean. She also left my house extremely clean and tidy. Communication with Katie was excellent. I can wholeheartedly recommend Katie and will be using her again in the near future.”
“Lauren dropped in for an hour each day to sit with my cats whilst we were on holiday, the service she provided was excellent and I appreciated getting daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her and will be definitely using her services in the future.”
“Great service always ontime and provided regular update and photos. This is the second time we have used Athina for regular drop ins whilst we have been away. I found this service to be a better option for me keeping my dog in his familiar surroundings rather than using kennels.”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs throughout my life, I was given my first dog at the tender age of 4, and I've also had a couple of cats along the way, one being a large breed, (Maine Coon) I believe all animals deserve to be treated with love and respect., I can administer oral medication as required by the owner., I myself have just recently lost my 2 German shepherds aged 10yrs, whom I adored, my boy sadly went over the rainbow18 mth ago, my girl sadly croosed 3mths ago,, I miss them terribly. I am used to administering ear drops to a big doggy who doesn't like his ears being messed with.as well as oral medications,. also I can massage leg muscles,( self taught) I'm can't bring myself to own any more pets, so a friend told me to try this site out, I work part-time week days, 9am -4pm Monday- Friday, so I'm available Fridays after 4pm till 8.30am Mondays, and also when on I'm holiday myself, I have a large secure back garden, your pets will be treated as my own, they are allowed on my settee, and on my bed,, I don't use crates, so if that's your preference, you would need to supply one,
“Fabiana is so kind and professional; our dog is quite anxious around new people in our home and Fabiana has been very assertive this week, getting to know Lara before her drop in sessions. We’ll definitely be using Fabiana again ❤️🐕”
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: Hi, I'm Kelly, I work in the NHS and love animals! I have always had cats as pets amongst other animals - I currently have a cat and two miniature dachshunds! I absolutely love cats & dogs and have a passion for loving them (on their terms, of course!). I currently have my own cat called Will who was a stray cat but now has a loving home with her two furry dog sisters who she loves (more like tolerates...). I used to work with my mum who had her own pet sitting service and this is where I got inspired on caring for other people pets in their own homes whilst getting an extra pet-fix for myself. I would love to care for your beloved animals whilst you're at work, visiting friends/family or if you've gone away for a break. I'm happy to do whatever your pet(s) loves whether that's playing, cuddling, grooming or being fed and left alone. I have many years of experience having owned cats and dogs and worked with my mum as a pet sitter. I am happy to give medication if needed but we would need to discuss this prior to any booking. If you have any questions or queries I am more than happy to answer them I usually work four days a week but am able to visit early in a morning (before 8am) or in the evening and I'm also available on the weekend. There may be occasions where my little girl accompanies me (only if your pet is okay with small children of course) If you prefer for your pets to be crated I am happy to do this on leaving, also if you would usually leave them with toys such as kongs/snuffle mats/lickimats I am also happy to refill these prior to leaving
“I needed care for my cat with short notice due to a last minute trip, Sophie replied quickly and arranged a meet and greet. I was very anxious as it’s the first time I’ve left my cat home alone and she can be quite shy. I needn’t have worried, Sophie was fantastic. She was reliable, followed my care instructions, gave lots of updates and pictures, and most importantly provided my cat with plenty of play and fuss! I’m very happy with the service received, highly recommend and will be a returning customer ☺️ thank you again Sophie for your wonderful care of Greta”

Victoria has looked after my boys a couple of times and they were looked after well. She kept me updated with pictures and daily messages to let me know they were ok. Over time you could see they were getting used to Victoria coming round and seemed to be more settled and confident with her. Thank you.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Chesterfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Chesterfield on Rover is £15 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £21 per Visit.
sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,197 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 occurred. 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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
