“Kaitlin was an amazing cat sitter! She was very communicative and i felt more than comfortable leaving my cat Lulu in her care. I will definitely be booking again!”

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.
“Obuchi provided excellent care for our cat while we were away. Our normally timid kitty seemed to be very drawn to her. Obuchi went above and beyond to make Ginger feel safe and us to feel secure. I would highly recommend her and would book with her in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the natural care, patience, and affection I bring to every pet I meet. Dogs truly have my heart! 🐾❤️ I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy. I'm attentive to each dog's unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether it's a naturally playful puppy, or one who needs a little extra encouragement or a senior dog who enjoys a slower pace and gentle care, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm also reliable, detail oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents informed and reassured. For me, pet sitting isn't just a job; it's something I genuinely enjoy! 🐾🐶❤️ I'm currently taking a little break from my regular work, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule and would love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy caring for animals! 🐾❤️ I love filling my days with walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship, making sure each pet feels happy, loved, and well cared for. I'm happy to accommodate their routines and give them all the love, care, and attention they deserve! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their family is away! 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines and make sure they feel just as happy and cared for as they would with their family. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether that means feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also respect each pet's personality and boundaries, giving them affection when they want it and space when they need it. I treat every home with care and respect, and I'm always happy to share updates and photos so pet parents can feel reassured knowing their furry loved ones are in good hands!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chillum
We highly recommend Mary for any cat sitting needs! She looked after our two cats under fairly short notice and was very communicative and accommodating to their quirky personalities. We enjoyed her updates and photos while away, and will definitely be booking again!
Sydney is a delight to work with — she is communicative and fun! She takes great care of my cats and goes above and beyond to make sure they have everything that they need, alerting me to low food levels in auto dry feeders and making sure the litter boxes are clean. The cats love her as evidenced from the amazing photos she sends!!! I have already re-booked her!
Kayla took fabulous care of Laguna when I had to leave town unexpectedly. Laguna had never had anyone come to the apartment before and Kayla was not only willing but it's clear she took good care of my girl in the drop-ins because when I got home she was happy and looking behind me like she was looking for Kayla.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Chillum is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 17,112 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chillum. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chillum. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
