Meet fellow dog lovers, build trusted friendships, and create a support system so every dog has a family beyond their front door.
where it all began
Chester spent years bringing people together without ever realizing it. When he was diagnosed with liver cancer, that community showed up for him and carried us both through it. Chester’s Village exists so every dog has a village when it matters most.

“This group is like a second family. If you need help looking after your dog when you are away, with playdates, or just general questions about their well-being, you'll be spoilt for choice. Everyone treats everybody's dogs like their own ❤️”
Sourab, Toffee's dad
