“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
“Chinyere performed a great job in taking care of my babies while I was out of town. She was very attentive and provided numerous photos. If in need of a pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Chinyere.”
“My dog is TOUGH, and they did a great job keeping him healthy and as happy as grumpy dog can be. Great communication throughout the stay and when I came home the house was exactly how I left it. I'll book again!”
“I am so lucky to have found Lauren. She is so good with my dog who has a lot of separation anxiety but he quickly warmed up to her wonderful personality and is so comfortable with her. I can’t praise her enough. She always keeps me updated and will continue to be our #1 go to :)”
“So awesome! Stayed at our house for 9 days with our 4 year old Shih tzu and 11 fish :) Walked dog every four hours, took great care of her, sent videos and updates. Even mailed my important document to me overnight while I was on vacay. She’s awesome. 10/10 recommend and will only hope she’s still available for my next trip.”
“Mars was super responsive and attentive with our babies and acted super swiftly when our escape artist got out and immediately reached out and got her back!! Super caring, kind and responsible!! Will be booking again and getting our dogs together soon”
“Jennifer is a gem, so glad we found her! She took wonderful care of our cat and our home for seven days. Jennifer was easy to connect with during our pre-stay meeting and made us feel comfortable from the beginning. While we were away we received pictures and updates which helped us not worry and just enjoy our vacation. Jennifer also helped outside by watering the garden. When we returned, our cat was his usual cute self and the house felt cleaner than when we left, and we got back to normal easily and quickly. Look forward to working together again soon!”
“Gabrielle was great! They inspires confidence immediately with their warm and courteous demeanor. Betty took to Gabrielle immediately. Gabrielle was a great communicator who kept us well updated. I would be lucky to have Gabrielle come back again!”
“Monica did a great job with Lenny! She played with him outside and snuggled with him on the couch. He was happy and content when we came home, and we had peace of mind while we were out. We also appreciated that Monica came over for a meet and greet in advance. She was courteous and prompt. We would definitely hire Monica again!”
“We had the pleasure of entrusting our pets, Moon, our 7-year-old golden retriever, and our two cats, to Nicole for two weeks while we were in France visiting family. Not only did she take care of our precious companions, but she also looked after our apartment. Nicole is a gentle, smiling, very attentive person who adapts easily. She has an exceptional rapport with animals and managed to establish a bond of trust with Moon and our cats from the very first day, as well as with us :). We particularly appreciated receiving regular photos and updates, which allowed us to leave with peace of mind. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter to take care of their pets and home. A big thank you to Nicole for her dedication and excellent work! We highly recommend her! As far as we're concerned, we've found our gem! Caroline”
“Leslie is such an awesome sitter. I have travel for several work trips and not only is her availability fantastic, she is a thorough communicator and my senior dog always seemed at ease and happy upon pick up. I highly recommended her.”
“Wow! I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Audrey-Anne! From communication to kindness, she made me feel as if my dogs were in the best hands while we were away from home. Not only did we come home to the pups happier than ever, but our home looked and smelled better than we left it! Would not hesitate to book her again!!!!”
“Always the best and our cats love her! We are so thankful to have found Mecca to care for our pets. We have her stay over and she always leaves the house in great shape.”
“Alayza was really responsive throughout, and sent frequent updates. I especially appreciated being able to have a meet & greet prior to booking, to ensure my pups and Alayza would be comfortable with each other (and of course they were!). We will definitely work with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chillum
Kymberlee was super proactive with communication to ensure all my pup’s needs would be met! She asked great questions beforehand which was very comforting! I felt confident leaving my girl with her. During the service days she was very communicative & caring of my girl. Would absolutely rebook. Thank you Kymberlee!
Chinyere was very communicative and attentive when she watched my dog. She was great about sending photo updates and keeping us informed about our pup. She was also an excellent house guest and left everything very clean and tidy. Having her there was great, as we could enjoy our trip knowing our dog was being taken care of at home. I look forward to booking her again and would absolutely recommend her.
Kyndall was great! Mia ran up to her immediately wanting to be her best friend at our initial meet & greet, which you know says a lot about Kyndall's vibe. She didn't blink an eye at all of Mia's medications or routine. She was respectful of my space and sent me plenty of pics of Mia while I was away — a huge comfort for anxious moms of old dogs! 10/10 recommend.
We highly recommend Danielle! Her and her husband were so sweet with our little pup and so caring. She has been really communicative and clear. Our dog had a great time and we felt that she was in good hands! We appreciated all the photo updates throughout the stay. We will definitely book her again.
We cannot possibly overstate how spectacular Thalia is as a pet sitter! She took care of our pup and our house for a week and it was such a delightful experience. Thalia communicated with us and sent us dog pictures regularly, took care of deliveries to the house while we were gone, took our dog Fig on lots of great walks, and left the house in better condition than we left it! We will absolutely go to Thalia first any time Fig needs care!
Savina took excellent care of our pup over a multi-day trip. They followed our instructions to a "t", took Ursa on long walks and sent regular updates and photos. They also left the house in perfect condition - even laundered the sheets without being asked to. We would absolutely book Savina again and recommend them for your dog-sitting needs.
Arda & Gabrielle were incredible with our 50lb border collie! We received daily updates and when we got home, our pup was relaxed and happy. They took great care of our home as well - everything was very clean and tidy when we returned. We hope to rebook with them soon!!
Daniel was wonderful! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands while we were away. He took great care of everyone and left our apartment pristine, which we really appreciated! We'd happily book with him again and definitely recommend him to others!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Chillum is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $100 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,726 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chillum. Enter your ZIP code 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:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Chillum walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Chillum maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Chillum choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 veterinarian. 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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
