“Maura was absolutely wonderful with Duchess! This was my first time leaving Duchess home without me for several days, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Maura made the entire experience so much easier. She was attentive, spent quality time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. I especially appreciated how consistent Maura was with sending updates and pictures and letting me know how Duchess was doing throughout the day. I would absolutely book with Maura again. I think Duchess may have officially found herself a new babysitter!”

“Madeleine was seriously amazing with my baby Brooklyn!! 🥹💕 Brooklyn is only 16 weeks old so I’m very particular about who I leave her with, especially since she’s still a puppy, but I felt so comfortable having Madeleine take care of her. I booked her for drop-ins for the entire Holiday weekend and she was super sweet, reliable and very flexible with me timewise, especially when some of my plans changed. She was Sooo accommodating which I really appreciated!! She also kept great communication with me before, during AND even after all of the visits were over, which I loved. She followed everything I asked, kept me updated and sent me sooo many cute pics of Brooklyn lol. I could genuinely tell she cared about her and wasn’t just coming over to do a quick drop in and leave She honestly went above and beyond for us 😭💕 she made Brooklyn homemade organic treats AND the cutest little good doggy certificate after their weekend together lol 🥹 and then surprised me with the most beautiful flowers, a card and a Starbucks gift card which I was NOT expecting at all!! It was seriously so thoughtful.🥹🥹🥹 As a first time puppy mom it means a lot to have someone I can actually trust with my crazy little child 😂💕 Brooklyn clearly loved her and I knew she was in good hands while I was gone. I will definitely be booking Madeleine again!! I’m sooo glad we found her and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and take care of their baby. 🥹💕 10/10!!”

About: I grew up spending lots of time at my aunts house who loves animals. Every weekend she often had me walking and feeding her dogs and cats.I also feed her fish and turtles . She taught me a lot about dogs and how to train them. I currently have an open schedule until I start college so I am able to be very flexible with my time. Rover is my top priority at the moment. I will follow all safety precautions and instructions to keep your pet safe. I will follow all care instructions left by the pet parent and make sure I create an enjoyable environment for your pet.

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I've always had cats of my own. I have cared for many of my friends’ pets while they are away. For many years I had friends for whom I used to dog-sit and cat-sit in their home. They had two cats and two dogs--medium size, collie mix and lab mix, dogs. I have experience walking the dogs, feeding, taking to vet appointments. I have experience walking and caring for my in-laws dogs (golden retrievers and springer spaniels). I am energetic and love playing with cats and dogs. I’m currently working from home (9 to five) so am available throughout the day and evenings and weekends. I’m happy to walk dogs as needed throughout the day. I can host or do over night stays. I have a fenced backyard, though note there are a flight of stairs to get down to the backyard. It is small with some bushes and trees and a paved patio. I enjoy walking (as many times as needed per day) and there many grassy areas near by. I don’t have an issue with dogs in the sofa or beds.

“Noah did a fantastic job caring for my cats over the holidays; an American Shorthair and a Sphinx. He sent pictures for each visit. Our Sphynx is very friendly, but our Shorthair is typically scared of new people. She was sitting on Noah's knee in one of the pictures!”

I’ve booked with Isabella several times and she always does an amazing job! She’s very responsive and sends great updates/ pics. She notices when I’m running out of cat food and will pick up the new pack in the mail. Overall she’s very reliable, professional, and my boys always enjoy when she checks in on them.

Devonte was great. My normal sitter couldn’t get to the house in time and my pup needed to go out to go to the bathroom. On short notice D was able to stop by my home and comfort my uneasy dog. My dog wasn’t used to seeing a new face but D was able to calm her and get her out the door. We will surely be contacting him again.

We were naturally a bit anxious using Rover for the first time after our long-time pet sitters moved away, but Joelle and Andrew completely put our minds at ease! They took care of our three cats—Church, Cherry, and Ebony—for almost a week and were absolutely wonderful. They arrived on time for every visit, kept up with feeding and box maintenance, and made sure to spend quality time playing with each of them. Capturing the hearts of three very different personalities isn't easy, but Joelle and Andrew gave each cat the exact attention and care they needed. We couldn't be happier or more satisfied, and we will definitely be booking them again!

So great to work with Haviland. She was timely with communication and gave the best care and updates of my cats. I felt reassured they were in good hands; they’re also notoriously skittish and finicky and really warmed up to her unlike most cat sitters I’ve had. Definitely highly recommend and can’t wait to have her watch my kitties again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Chillum

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
