About: As a lifelong owner of both cats and dogs, animals are a massive part of my life. I have extensive experience caring for friends' and family members' pets, offering everything from quick drop-in visits to overnight stays. I am an active person who genuinely loves being outdoors, so I am always happy to spend my time taking dogs on long, refreshing walks to keep them happy and exercised. I am incredibly comfortable handling a wide variety of breeds and sizes, ranging from my own tiny, energetic Maltese to large breeds like German Shepherds. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a strict feeding routine, or just lots of cuddles while you're away, I promise to treat them like my own! I work full-time with a hybrid routine, which gives me great flexibility! On weekends, I am completely free and available for pet sitting, long walks, and drop-in check-ins, meaning your pet will get my undivided attention all weekend. During the week, my hybrid schedule allows me to easily accommodate dog walks and drop-in visits around my working hours. I am highly organised and always ensure pet care integrates seamlessly into my routine, so your pet will always get their exercise and attention exactly when they need it To ensure your pet feels completely safe and comfortable, I offer care exclusively in the comfort of your own home. Pets thrive best in their familiar surroundings, and staying in their own environment helps maintain their normal routine and reduces any separation anxiety.

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,

About: I do work in the office but am able to come home on lunch for an hour to walk & play. I only care for one pet family at a time so don’t worry about anxious dogs mixing. All my day care & boarding services include walks - no extra cost! Growing up with dogs, I’ve developed an intuitive understanding of their needs. From playful pups to senior dogs, I’ve cared for them all! I have dealt with medication for heart diseases and epilepsy and understand the importance of routine and timing for medication. I grew up with chihuahuas and a shitzu. I understand the need to adapt to different behaviours and anxieties. Most importantly I understand the need for dogs to feel loved and involved whilst their pet parents are away. I understand that communication is key when trusting someone to care for your dog and I will go above and beyond to keep you updated on your dogs day. Trust is the most important thing! I love all different breeds of dogs. I feel like I have a great understanding of their different types of needs depending on breed. I understand toy breeds unique needs, combining vigilance for their safety with a gentle approach to their emotional well-being. I understand that they may not need as much strenuous exercise as larger breeds, but they thrive on companionship and consistent routines, often being content with a short walk and plenty of lap time. Given their small bladders, I understand they may require more frequent potty breaks than larger dogs. I am extra cautious during walks, using appropriate safety equipment like a secure harness to prevent accidents, and being aware of other, potentially larger, animals that could scare them or put them in danger. I am able to accept boarding at my own home with my partner at the weekends and also midweek as long as you are happy for me to work in the office and come home on my lunch hour (I work 5 mins away) to let your dog out for walk and spend time with them (left 4 hours at a time). I can walk your dogs in the morning before work and in an evening too. We have no pets so your doggies have our full attention. I have a secure garden and allow any dogs to roam all of the house. We are closed to parks and fields and so there is plenty of outdoor space for them to enjoy! I only board one pet family at a time & am happy to adjust to yours dogs needs. I can follow any crate training too.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Fabiana and her partner Mateo for dog/ house sitting. We are always nervous about leaving our dog when we go away but they stayed in our home and ensured that he was properly looked after whilst we were away; they even worked their shifts together to give him his usual number of daily walks and not disrupt his routine. We will definitely ask Fabiana first before we go anywhere else. Thank you so much for the videos, updates and peace of mind!!!

I decided to try housesitting as my cat has struggled with my previous arrangements during holidays. I was very nervous about it as I’ve never used a house-sitter before. I’m so glad I found Jordan and booked him. He was wonderful. Jordan took very good care of the house and made sure my cat was happy. I received lots of updates and pictures which gave me enormous peace of mind. My cat had a lovely time hanging out with Jordan and was sad when he left! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jordan or book him again in the future 😊

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.

About: I’m a warm, friendly and reliable pet sitter, and together with my partner Lauren, we offer caring and dependable pet sitting for animals of all ages and personalities. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your pets and keep them happy, safe and comfortable while you’re away. Having rescued my own dog in the past, Lily, I know how much patience, trust and gentle care can mean to a pet. Through helping with her training, building her confidence and understanding her individual needs, I’ve developed a calm and compassionate approach to animal care. Together, Lauren and I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine and needs so we can make them feel settled and well cared for. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, sticking to a familiar routine or needs a little extra patience and reassurance, we always adapt our care to suit them. We’re especially understanding with young pets who are still learning, as well as older pets who may need a softer, more attentive approach. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I run my own business, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my time around the pets I’m caring for. This means I’m able to offer visits, walks, and sitting at times that work best for each pet and their owner. My partner Lauren also helps with sitting and works remotely, so together we’re able to be really flexible and make sure pets get plenty of care, company, and attention throughout the day. We love creating a calm, caring environment and tailoring our service to suit each pet’s individual routine and needs. We offer pet sitting in the pet’s own home, as we find this is where they feel most comfortable, settled, and secure. Staying in their familiar surroundings helps keep their routine as normal as possible and can make the whole experience much less stressful for them. We always take the time to get to know each pet’s usual routine, from feeding and walks to playtime, rest, and any little habits that help them feel at ease. Our aim is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, with plenty of attention, reassurance, and love.

This was the 1st time we have used rover.com, our Spaniel Rosie won’t settle at other people’s homes and we won’t use kennels. Kate & Jake were absolutely fantastic from the start, they came to visit before we went away to meet Rosie, and we got a daily ‘pupdate’ on where they had been and how she was. We will 100% ask for there help again as we can now go on holiday knowing she is safe and will be with two fantastic people who Rosie settled with straight away.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm, have had big dogs my whole life, from puppy to senior age and currently have a happy, well-trained Dalmatian who I raised from a puppy. I love exploring the Peak District and giving dogs the exercise, attention, and stimulation they need. With my own car and flexible routine, I’m always ready for walks, countryside adventures, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for, as if they are a part of my family! As a university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and getting outdoors, so dog walks and spending time with pets fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to be flexible with timings and make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I live in the quiet community of Dore, that has easy accessible walking paths and parks. My flat is the end of a cul-de-sac and has a garden and large car park for quick pee breaks. My flat is very spacious and with plenty of open play space!

Mark and his daughter Faith came for a meet and greet. We have a Romanian rescue, 71/2 months old, Faith was really calm around him and he took well to her. We arranged a few hours sit with Faith, again he really took to Faith. She maintained her calmness and really engaged with Varg. We have not seen our rescue this relaxed around a non family human. We will definitely be using Mark and Faith again.

This was the first time Meg looked after Rocky overnight. Meg kept me informed of how his day was going, with photos and walk updates. I had no concerns at all over the weekend, Rocky was in good hands. Meg also left the house immaculate. I would highly recommend Meg, just not when we need her!

What can I say other than Fabiana is an excellent house-sitter. She looked after our two pups for 3 days, took them for long walks, provided us with plenty of pictures and videos, and really looked after the house, even doing some of our laundry (which was a really pleasant surprise!). If you have any house-sitting needs, I highly recommend you engage with Fabiana. We'll definitely do it the next time we're away from home.

Jordan looked after my dog Milo overnight as he does not cope well with kennels. Milo had met him twice prior to the booking and always a good sign when he wagged his tail at Jordan on seeing him. Jordan took onboard all Milo’s individual characteristics for dog walks as he is reactive. Plenty of contact and photos during the visit added to feeling relaxed about leaving Milo at home. Jordan gives off such a calming persona and this is much welcomed. Would book again when the need arises 👍

Kirsty was amazing with our cats. She was friendly and attentive and genuinely cared about them. Some of our cats are quite timid so we weren’t expecting them to be seen at all but Kirsty was patient with them and they even took some treats from her 🩷 her updates were frequent and made us feel much better about leaving them. Would recommend to anyone and will be asking her back!

FAQs for House Sitting - Chesterfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Chesterfield on Rover is £39.53 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,592 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chesterfield. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Chesterfield 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 Chesterfield 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.
