“Colleen took wonderful care of our cockapoo for 3 days. She sent photos several times and provided photos. She also was able to give some eyedrops several times per day that our dog required. My dog seemed content and well cared for. Thank you.”
“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💯”
“This was our first time using rover and leaving our 3 year old norwich terrier and 2 year old miniature schnauzer with anyone other than family members. After meeting Jeff and realizing his genuine love for dogs, we felt assured that he would be perfect for them. The care that Jeff provided for our two spoiled dogs was superb. He provided pictures along with detail updates that instantly assured us that he quickly had them feeling very comfortable in his home and it put our minds at ease. We will definitely use Jeff again, whenever we are in need for any of the services he offers. Thanks again Jeff for providing excellent care for our pets. Wayne E”

“I had such a wonderful experience with Tasha! I was headed out of town and in need of a cat sitter for my cat, Matcha. Tasha agreed to cat sit for me and I must say from the moment of our first communication, Tasha was superb! She made sure to send daily updates, which I greatly appreciated! My daughter and I are so happy we found her and we hope to use her services in the future! Thank you again Tasha!”
“The guys obviously know dogs and were attentive to our dog’s needs. We received at least one photo per day, sometimes more and a quick synopsis. We also appreciated that they only boarded a couple of dogs at a time.”
“We had a wonderful experience! She was kind, professional, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. We felt completely comfortable leaving Kal in her care, and it was clear he had a great time and really enjoyed his stay. We’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”
“Jeneffer is so great! She has watched my dog Lucy many times now and we have always had a great experience. Jeneffer communicates promptly and is very trustworthy. I always know Lucy is in great hands. I love that it is a family affair and that there will always be people for my pup to be around. They have a beautiful house with a yard and Lucy is always so excited when she sees we're at Jeneffer's.”

“Madeleine was absolutely fantastic. She kept in touch and sent us photos of our cat everyday. I really appreciated that she sent photos of him cuddling up to her, because then I knew he felt comfortable and safe with her. Madeleine was quick to respond to any questions and followed through on everything we agreed to while we were gone. I can wholeheartedly recommend Madeleine to other cat families and will definitely work with her again!”

“My dog Shep is nervous in stormy weather, and unfortunately while we were away, there were quite a few thunderstorms (typical for summer in DC!). Julia and Lily were extremely patient with Shep and gave him lots of comfort when he was anxious. He came home happy and tired from a fun week away. it was reassuring to know that he was in good hands while we were gone!”
“Bella had a great stay at Andy's house. He kept us updated on how she was doing and sent photos. Knowing we could reach out at any time made our time away much more relaxed. Already planning on another stay soon.”
“Paula was an amazing sitter. From comforting me when my pup was acting out of character, to providing excellent care and attention to my pup during his stay. She provided detailed updates complete with pictures and videos. Definitely stumbled on a gem of a sitter with Paula.”

“Rodrigo did a great job taking care of my sweet Frenchie, Bella. He sent me daily pictures and made sure to listen carefully to my care instructions. His own dog, Luna, was a great playmate to Bella and she came home happy and exhausted. I'd definitely use Rodrigo again!”

Pascaline is amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our 15 year old with health issues and 8 year old active lab in her care. Her communication is impeccable and she made sure to engage both dogs with enrichment that was appropriate for their temperaments and needs.
Max was the most incredible sitter I've ever had (and I've been using Rover for ~8 years). My pup, Rogi, is not the easiest and struggles with separation anxiety, but Max knew all the tricks to get him as calm as possible and convince him to eat his food. Their walks were daily and long, and Rogi had lots of social time meeting new people and furry friends. Max was super friendly and accommodating given our frequent schedule changes, and his place is a pet's dream, with loads of fun toys and plenty of supplies on hand. As soon as I walked in, I knew Rogi would be in great hands. You will not be disappointed with Max!
Katie and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of our girl Tanuki! Katie sent regular updates and was very patient with our girl's finicky eating habits. Waffle was also an excellent hostess, and the pups enjoyed their time walking around the neighborhood together. We would definitely be glad to have Tanuki stay with them again. 🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Chillum is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $78 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.

As of October 2026, there are 7,977 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chillum. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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.
