About: I have lived with dogs since I was 10 years old. We are a family of dog lovers and our dogs are our babies. I have now been dog sitting with my partner since November and we have cared for multiple dogs needing different levels of care. We have received multiple bookings and positive feedback from all of our clients. We have our own dog who we care for and walk every day. We have lots of ideas of dog walks and also know what it is like to care for a reactive dog as our dog can be anxious around other dogs. I provide regular updates to you as an owner as I know how important this is for you. Every dog we have cared for has become part of our family for the short time we’ve had them and we always miss them and hope to see them again soon! I am looking to earn some extra money pet sitting and dog walking. As I am a primary school teacher this is something that me and my partner are able to do on evenings, weekends or school holidays. We are eager to fit in pet care at weekends and school holidays as it is something we really enjoying doing. We can care for dogs in our own home due to our dog being reactive he would not be in our home and would be cared for by my partner’s mum who shares the dog with us at her home. We treat your dog like our own and the safety of your pet is of paramount importance. We always think about how we would want someone to care for our dog when caring for your pets. Our pets are our babies and when your pet stays with us we welcome them in as a member of our family.

“We was away for 3 days and Athina walked our dog Milo whilst we was away. Athina would keep me updated on how each walk went and also sent pictures and a route of where they had walked. Athina was always on time and looks like Athina and Milo had known each other for years. Would really recommend her services.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats and small pets. I’ve helped look after family pets including dog walking, feeding, cleaning and general care. I’m calm, reliable and attentive, and as a student nurse I’m used to being responsible and following routines carefully. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I’m a student nurse and my weekly schedule can vary, but I’m very flexible and always happy to work around your pet’s routine where possible. I currently work weekends (10–6), however I’m often available on weekdays and evenings for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to discuss regular weekly bookings or last-minute requests depending on availability. When caring for pets, I always prioritise safety, routine and comfort. I’m careful to follow any instructions provided, including feeding routines, lead preferences and house rules. I’m confident walking dogs safely on leads and will avoid unsafe areas or off-lead walking unless requested and agreed. During drop-in visits I will ensure your pet has fresh water, food, playtime and attention, and I’ll always make sure your home is left secure. I’m happy to send regular photo updates for reassurance.

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.

About: Hi, I’m Jordan, a passionate and reliable pet sitter with extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My journey as a pet sitter began through TrustedHousesitters, where I’ve looked after a wide variety of dogs (and other animals) across the UK and internationally. I understand that every dog has its own unique personality and needs, and I take pride in providing loving, attentive care that helps your dog feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I offer in-home dog sitting, which means your pet can stay in their familiar environment, stick to their routine, and enjoy plenty of companionship and affection. I’m calm, observant, and confident in handling everything from energetic pups to more senior dogs who just want a cuddle and a slow stroll. I do not currently offer boarding in my own home, and I’m happy to discuss any specific requirements – including vaccination status and medical needs – during our initial chat. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I am happy send the link to my TrustedHouseSitters profile via message, Rover will not let me post it here. I work from home so am completely flexible in my routine and therefore am available every day of the week. I need to keep one eye on my work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and early afternoons, but I am flexible and never have to be in a meeting, so I will always be available. I can work remotely so I also do not need to be at home for this. My partner and I have completed over 50 five-star sits through TrustedHousesitters. We always treat homeowners’ pets and homes with the utmost respect, creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. We follow routines closely, give plenty of attention, and stay mindful of each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s medication, quiet companionship, or energetic playtime. We also keep the home clean, tidy, and secure at all times, treating it as if it were our own. Over the years, we’ve made many wonderful two-legged and four-legged friends, and we’re proud to be sitters that both pets and people can trust. I am happy send the link to my TrustedHouseSitters profile via message, Rover will not let me post it here.

About: Up until the last few years we have always had dogs, we are experienced with large breeds and have previously owned GSD and GSDxRottweiler . We also used to have a stuffy x, so are used to stubborn, picky dogs 🤣 ours used to refuse to get her paws wet ❤️ We have a large garden with a high fence. Due to work we havent had dogs since ours passed away. I work in secondary education, meaning I have all of the school holidays off, and would love to use this time to care for your pets. I can guarantee lots of cuddles, fuss, love and making your pet feel at home whilst you are away. I currently work full time, however, I only work term-time. However, if you are ok with your dog being left whilst I am at work, please message. Otherwise, my services will only be during half terms. I have a large fenced garden available for them to play in and toilet breaks. We live close by to the Avenue Washlands for walks, and the woods in wingerworth.

About: I grew up with dogs in our household and for the last 20 years I've had my own dogs but lost my last one, Sanza, a Toy Poodle, in June 2025. I dog sit two Dachshund sisters aged 15 regularly and enjoy it very much. I love dogs and would treat your dogs as if they were my own. Your pet's comfort, happiness and safety is my priority. I have experience of giving medication via injection as my dog was diabetic and had to have insulin injections twice a day as well as oral medication. I also have experience of looking after senior dogs as I have cared for dogs who are 14 and 15 years old. I am available to look after your dogs in my home or at your home so they have as little disruption to their routine as possible. I am retired so I'am at home all day so can look after your pets whenever you need me. I'm very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit in around your needs. I have an enclosed garden which is fully fenced/ brick wall. The garden is very secure. I live in a semi detached bungalow so there are no stairs to climb. I have lots of toys for your dogs to play with. I am available to look after them in their own home or at my home. I am retired so I am around all the time to look after your dogs. I prefer to look after small dogs but will look after medium sized dogs as long as they walk well on the lead as I walk with a crutch so can't manage to walk large dogs who pull or lunge too strongly when they react to other dogs. I do not look after large dogs for safety reasons.

“Ryan and Esmerelda looked after my boy for a couple of days when I had to go into work and they were fab. I was a nervous first time Rover user so they were kind enough to pop by to meet Milo beforehand. Very punctual and reliable, received updates and photos which was appreciated and Milo loved his walks and cuddles. I’d definitely book them again if I needed help with Milo in future.”

Alongside dog walking, I’m also very happy caring for cats and small animals. For all new clients, I like to arrange a meet and greet before the first walk or visit.

I’m very happy after my nervous dog puppy Saber who suffers separation anxiety and is very attached to me was walked by Ellie this morning. He took to her straight away and went for a walk without a problem which to be honest I wasn’t to sure if he’d do. But I could tell he’d thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her so I’ll be booking her to walk Saber again. She offers an excellent service and I’d highly recommend her. 🙂

FAQs for Dog Walking – Chesterfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Chesterfield on Rover is £15 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £14 and £23 per walk.

Walkers 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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,566 Walkers on Rover offering Dog Walking across the city of Chesterfield. About 78% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Chesterfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poo breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Chesterfield after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

You can find dog walkers on Rover who have experience of walking dogs across a wide range of breeds, sizes and temperaments. Each walker's experience and the dogs they're comfortable handling will vary.

When searching for a walker, use the dog-size filter and select either 18–45 kg or 45+ kg. Then review walker profiles and verified reviews for experience with dogs of a similar size, strength, temperament, and energy level.

Before booking, tell the walker your dog’s breed and weight, how they walk on a lead, their usual pace and commands, any triggers, and how they react to other dogs, people and traffic. Explain any walking equipment or handling instructions the walker will need to follow.

Complete your dog's profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before the first walk. These steps can help you and the walker confirm that they're a good match for your dog.

Every walker 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 2,566 Walkers in Chesterfield, 40% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
