“This is the second time we had Jayne stay with our dogs and once again everything went very smoothly! It's so great not to have to worry while we are away! The pups were happy and the house was clean upon our return- thank you Jayne! ”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs since i was 11. My first job was a dog walker/sitter but i just liked being able to play with pets. Overtime that evolved into me taking care of my friends’ pets (cats, dogs, birds, fish, plants…) when they went out of town. I set and stick to schedules so they get the timely care and attention they need. I also send texts/facetime/pictures updates to pet owners I work from home full time with minimal meetings so i can take lots of breaks to drop-in, house sit, play, walk and feed. There are currently no time restrictions on my end so your pet can have the attention they need! If boarding in my home, i have toys and a pet area. There are no hazardous materials (hard corners, noises, cleaning products) or food laying around. I also have an open floor plan so they wouldn’t be cramped and bored.
“Amazing! We are so lucky to know Jacqlyn and work with her. We can go on vacation without any issues knowing she’s got our pup. Bonus: she has a great pup to keep ours company.”
“Hannah took such good care of our dog Penny. She gave lots of updates while we were away and took great care of our home as well. Highly recommend Hannah for any of your pet care needs! We will definitely ask her to stay with Penny next time we need a sitter!”
“Chistina was awesome. Our pug was well cared for and we received regular updates and pictures. We could tell Bella was happy (well, as happy as she can be without her hoomans). Highly recommend Christina for looking after your furry family members.”
“Gabs did a great job with my pup, Lula Mae. Lu was well cared for and I got great communications & updates. Gabs also left our home spotless, which was much appreciated when I got home from my trip! We look forward to booking with Gabs again in future!”
“Aaron stayed with Albert for the night and took great care of both Albert and the house! He sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how things were going. I knew Albert was in good hands while we were gone, and we would definitely ask them to stay with Albert again. Thank you so much!!”
“Zada was excellent at communicating with us throughout the time she watched Ursa. She sent so many great photos! She followed our care instructions well and was attentive to Ursa’s needs.”
“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!”
“Monica stayed with our two older dogs for a week. She did a great job caring for them and looking after the house. The house was clean and orderly when we arrived home. I would definitely ask her to pet sit again!”
“Our 2nd booking with Maniyha was great! She kept us up to date with how our animals were doing and left the house nice and tidy after leaving. Everyone seems very well cared for. Thank you!”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job as a pet/house sitter for our two animals, a large dog and cat. She was very easy to communicate with, followed the pets’ routine, gave medication as needed and left our home clean and easy to return to! We appreciated the great pictures and messages about how things were going while we were away and we will definitely plan to contact her again in the future! Thanks, Jennifer!”
“Keaton was a fantastic house/dog-sitter, taking care of our elderly dog and three cats. Keaton quickly made friends with everyone and updated us twice a day with medication info, walk notes, and photos. We felt relaxed and comfortable knowing our pets (and home) were in good hands. Thank you, Keaton!”
“Valentina has pet sat for us twice in our home. She handles our anxious dog very well and is always professional. I can’t recommend her enough. Thanks again Valentina!”
“Janis was wonderful house sitting for our cat Toastie while we were away on vacation. She stopped by for a meet-and-greet before, and it took no time for Toastie to warm up to her. Janis was excellent with communication. During her stay, we received regular updates and pics to let us know everything was fine. Janis was also responsible and took very good care of Toastie. We will be happy to schedule her again!”
“Jocabet was exceptional! I cannot say enough good things about her. She was punctual, thoughtful and took great care of our dog, Teddie. She kept us updated throughout her stay at our house with lots of photos and videos and made sure Teddie was well exercised as she is an active breed and left the house very tidy and clean when I returned. We’d absolutely love to have Jocabet watch Teddie again! Thank you so much!”
“Lizabethe was great watching Maggie and Rocco in our home while we were away for an extended weekend! She provided regular updates with pictures. We'd love to book with Lizabethe again!”

Rin was amazing with my dog, Max! She watched him in my apartment for a few days while I was away on a work trip and she took such great care of him. She even stayed later than originally planned on the last day so that he wouldn't have to ride out a thunderstorm by himself. I came home to a very well-loved pup and a spotless apartment! I will definitely be booking with Rin again soon!
Kristine was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog and two cats, keeping us informed regularly with photos and updates. She also took great care of our house and even offered to water the plants. She is kind, responsive and reliable. We would have her house/pet sit again in a heartbeat.
William was fantastic sitting a day and overnight for my girl Blue! He is clearly an animal lover and was super accommodating to a slower, older dog. From a logistics perspective Willam is professional and communicative - so easy to work with. Look no further if you need a dog walker / pet care taker in the area!
Nadia has truly been amazing with Brooklyn and has gone above and beyond every single time she cares for her. As someone who works long 13 hr shifts, having a sitter I can genuinely trust and feel comfortable with means everything to me. Nadia communicates with me throughout my shift, sends updates, and is incredibly proactive and diligent with Brooklyn’s care. She has honestly eased so much of my anxiety when I’m away because I never have to wonder how Brooklyn is doing. What I appreciate most is the amount of thought and effort she puts into making sure Brooklyn is completely taken care of before I get home. By the time I walk through the door after work, Brooklyn has been walked, cared for, and settled, and everything is in order to the point that I can literally come home and go straight to sleep. That level of consideration is invaluable to me. She has also been incredibly helpful throughout Brooklyn’s potty-training process. She’s always willing to offer thoughtful tips and feedback, and she even took the initiative to create potty-training logs to track Brooklyn’s pees and poops while in her care so that we could better understand her routine and progress. Nadia doesn’t just “watch” Brooklyn….she genuinely invests herself in her care and development. And after hiring other sitters in the past, you can definitely tell the difference between the care that others give compared to the care that Nadia gives. She is attentive, communicative, thoughtful, reliable, and consistently goes the extra mile. I’m incredibly grateful to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pup 🥹💗
Zaida was amaaaaazing. In addition to all the walks, she played with our dog Joey in the backyard regularly and gave him lots of outdoor time. She sent pictures every day and it was clear our doggo was in the best hands - and we were able to enjoy our vacation without any worry. She stayed at our place, and was a wonderful guest in every way. Zaida exceeded our instructions and expectations in every way.
Naomi was a fabulous dog sitter! She kept us well informed and asked timely questions when our dog Clyde was having trouble with walks and thunderstorms. She kept our home tidy and our dogs well fed, walked, and happy! I know the dogs will miss her company and definitely use her services again!
Atiya was amazing! She stayed at our house for a week and took care of two dogs and a cat. One of the dogs went on a hunger strike and she was patient and creative in trying to get her to eat. She eventually shared her own dog’s food and treats, and that worked! Then she left a baggie of it for us when she left. Incredibly kind and a great communicator. The house was perfect when we got home as well. Highly recommend Atiya!
Veronica is absolutely wonderful. She took such loving, attentive care of my two dogs, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. She is incredibly kind, reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely loves animals. I came home to two very happy, well-cared-for dogs. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and feel so lucky to have found her!
John has taken care of our two rescue poodles several times, and we (and they) adore him. He is thoughtful, sensitive, and authentic, with great communication. My husband and I have been able to travel in our retirement without worrying about the girls, knowing that John is caring for them. He is dependable, honest, and seems to truly enjoy them as well. They have anxiety issues, but John has won their trust, and while they are happy to see us when we come home, you can tell that they have had a good time with him. We like to check if he’s available before booking our tickets! (He also takes great care of the house!)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chillum on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 10,938 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 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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
