Chester’s Village LLC
Building the neighborhood we never had
Together, we can build the social infrastructure that turns neighborhoods into communities for pet lovers.
In India, children are raised by a village
Somehow, our dogs aren’t. Being a pet parent often feels like an isolated journey.
As a single immigrant in San Francisco, caring for a dog with liver cancer became difficult. It was the people around us, our village, who made the impossible survivable.
so, day to day
Our mission is simple:
To bring pet parents together and create a trusted support system that helps them navigate every stage of pet parenthood as a village.
and one day
The vision we are walking toward:
To build social infrastructure so every dog has a family that extends beyond their front door.
