“Nicole was amazing! She communicated very well, sent texts with updates, she sent pictures and she answered every call and text. I was nervous for my first boarder experience but she made it SO easy and comfortable! Her energy and aura will make you feel at ease! I will definitely be using her again💯”

“Noah was amazing with my high energy dog. He provided tons of exercise and picture updates and made me feel comfortable and safe leaving my baby with him. He followed my care instructions to the T, and I came home to a healthy, happy, and tired pup. In addition, he reinforced training and provided a safe space for my dog to rest in a crate. His dogs are also super sweet and got along very well with mine. Would definitely recommend Noah as a dogsitter!”
“Fathia was so awesome! She took such great care of Thelma and welcomed her into her family! She was warm and attentive and fun and was so joyful having Thelma with her. Got great update pics and feedback and Fathia had such a warm, confident and competent vibe, which is so important when you are far away. She gave Thelma the TLC she deserves and i would not hesitate to have her care for her again.”
“Kyle was an amazing and attentive sitter for our old girl Phoenix. We had a vet appointment the day before and she had received more shots than we anticipated and it did not sit well with her.

We so appreciate that Kyle was so kind about this and made our wonderful pup comfortable. Definitely consider Kyle if you want an amazing time for your four legged loves!”

“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thank you Diana, I appreciate you and your family. Until we meet again...”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chillum
Maryjo and Jon were fantastic hosts to Luna. Luna really appreciated this calm and cozy home of pup super-fans (and she enjoyed tearing apart the squeaky toy they lent her!). I had great peace of mind while away on a lengthy vacation that Luna was safe, sound and having fun! Thanks very much.
Nicole was amazing! She sent daily pictures, was very accommodating, and always responded quickly to my messages. I had just adopted Scrap and was nervous about boarding because he has some behavioral issues, but Nicole made me feel completely at ease. After bringing him home, I noticed he’s friendlier around cats and seems to listen better, which is wonderful to see! I’m not sure how she did it, but I’m so grateful. I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free knowing Scrap was in such good hands. I highly recommend Nicole!
I wanna give a special thanks to Aaron for understanding and having patience with walnut. This was walnut first time having a dog sitter and he is very clingy to us but Aaron took his time with him and walnut got adjusted pretty well. He sent pictures and videos before I can ask which was reassuring and appreciated.
Jayden was extremely flexible, patient, and understanding with the multiple pick up time changes I had when I missed my flight and then had two flight delays on top of the missed flight. It was well into the night and way past my pickup time when I finally was able to pick up Rufus. His response to all the changes relieved a lot of stress.
Aditya and Patrick and great and accommodating! Despite the stay being cut short unexpectedly, they were both accommodating in doing what they can so that Panko can be in the best care. Even though it was an unexpected circumstance, Aditya and Patrick were flexible and helped to make sure Panko can be cared for in the best of their abilities while I was away
Chad was absolutely fantastic! Took excellent care of Enki - who is a shy, somewhat anxious girl, who thrives best when the caregiver knows dogs of her style. And, Chad definitely did. After a few days, she clearly warmed up and came back to us happy and well cared for. Thank you!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Chillum is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $75 per night. On Rover, 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.

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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Chillum can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Chillum home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Chillum.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chillum. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Chillum sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
