About: I grew up with a lot of pets and currently I have 2 dogs and a cat along with some other animals. I Have a lot of experience petsitting. I started petsitting around the age of 13 and since then have been doing it pretty consistanly for everyone in my neighborhood. I have taken care of animals that have required medical care and so I am experienced with handling medication doses and any other needs your pet might have. I am a college student so I am pretty flexible with when I can come watch your pets. I only have about 1 class a day so your pet would not be left for more than an hour an a half without me checking in on them. I am able to stay as long as needed with your pet and I am able to stay nights so that I'm there with them.
“Sarah was AMAZING! She was very communicative and sent many pictures during my kitty's stay. I had to pick up Creamsicle a bit later than planned, and Sarah was super understanding and flexible! Overall, it seemed like my kitty enjoyed his stay with her, and she even crocheted him a little pumpkin hat! How cute! I would definitely recommend Sarah if you are looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like one of their own. :)”

“Lily is a great, reliable cat sitter! She follows directions well and is attentive to the cats’ needs. I can trust that my she will take good care of the kitties while I’m out of town.”
“Colleen did an amazing job of everything we asked and then some. She provided lots of pictures every day-both of our pets and ensuring she got the job done-as well as updates about how they were doing and how they were getting along with her.”


About: I’ve been caring for animals for about six years, and taking care of pets is something I genuinely love. I’ve always felt a strong connection with animals and really enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, larger dogs, and multiple pets at once. I also have a cat of my own who I adopted from a shelter after she came from a hoarding situation. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, and full of personality, and caring for him has taught me how important patience, kindness, and giving an animal the space to feel safe can be. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious pets and understand that not every animal will immediately warm up to a new person. I’m happy to let them come to me at their own pace while still giving them plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance. I’m also a very active person and love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor adventures, while making sure they get the kind of activity and attention that fits their personality. Whether a pet wants to play and explore or would rather have a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a student, with classes Monday and Wednesday from 2–4 PM and Tuesday and Thursday from 12–2 PM. Outside of those class times, I have a flexible schedule and am generally available for pet care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the time, attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions and respect their home and routines. I like to have open communication with owners beforehand so I know exactly what to expect, where everything is, and whether there are any important reminders, medications, or emergency contacts. I’m also happy to send regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is safe, cared for, and getting the attention they need.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!
About: I have had pets or taken care of other peoples pets for most of my life. My boyfriend and I work from home and have one friendly dog and two tolerant outdoor cats. We would love to welcome your cat friendly dog into our home. We have a large fenced yard with a big doggy bathtub and plenty of toys. We live near several parks if your dog need extra exercise. I have the experience and patience for senior dogs and puppy training. I also love cats and am available for drop ins for any type of pet. I work part time from home with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of free time. Aside from our own vacations I am available weekdays and most weekends. I will treat your pet like one of the family. Plenty of attention and love in a safe and loving home. For boarding, day care, and drop ins I know every pet parent has different needs I am open to learning and building a great relationship with you and your pet.
About: I am currently going to school to be a vet tech, and have had years of experience working with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments! I’m comfortable with any dog breed and energy level! I have a super energetic dog at home and I’m confident that if I can handle her, I can handle any dog! I currently work full time at a veterinary office but take an hour long lunch to come home and care for my dog, and yours too! Me and my dog enjoy walks before/after work, playing in our large backyard, and she loves learning new tricks, she is very playful and would love a buddy from time to time! I have a dog at home and have taken care of cats, I’m very comfortable with cleaning up after them and interacting with them. I have a VERY energetic dog so I understand high maintenance pets well! I’m comfortable with crating animals or any other training request the owner may have as well :)
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I am able to care for senior animals and animals with special needs or diets, and can help with the basic training of puppies. I have a lot of energy, so I'm always happy when a client has a dog that needs to be walked since it's nice bonding for me. I currently work remotely for an editing service, and am going to school for music classes, so I am available to be around for your pets for any getaways you take. In your home, I will ensure your beloved pets feel safe, happy and stimulated by providing any extra care they need, and showering them with all the love I have for animals
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Before Vera, my golden retriever, I had cats my whole life (Kitty, Bugsy, Shadow, and Tiger), along with ferrets, guinea pigs, fish, iguanas, and hermit crabs. Vera was born with partial facial paralysis, and one of her eyes can’t blink, so she needs frequent eye drops to stay comfortable. Caring for her has made me patient, attentive, and confident with pets who need a little extra care. If your pet takes medication or has special needs, I’d be glad to help. While living in the Bay Area, I founded Bay Area Golden Retrievers, which grew to become the region’s largest golden retriever meetup group. I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I know how to read them and keep them happy and safe. With a background in video and photography, I love capturing your pet’s personality. Expect plenty of sharp, well-composed photos and updates so you can see exactly how your best friend is doing. I’m happy to care for cats and dogs for everything except overnights, and my schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out about whatever you need. My schedule is very open right now, so I can be flexible for walks, drop-ins, and daytime care, including short-notice requests and weekends. I love working with animals and want to build this into something long-term, so I take every booking seriously. Since I'm already caring for Vera and my chickens throughout the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I'm happy to keep a regular schedule for recurring clients. I treat every pet's routine, health, and safety as a priority. I'll go over feeding, medication, and any quirks or fears before the first visit, and I follow your instructions closely. Caring for Vera, who needs frequent eye drops, and for my chickens through vet visits has taught me to notice small changes in behavior, appetite, or comfort. I'll send photos and updates during every visit, double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and contact you right away if anything seems off or I need a decision from you.

About: I have lots of experience caring for cats and dogs! I grew up with 5 dogs and 3 cats and worked at our social animal shelter for a few years so I’ve seen it all! Hangin out with dogs and cats is the highlight of my day. I have a special affinity for pitties and bully breeds, but I have a lot of experience with all breeds since working at the shelter. I currently a part-time job where I am usually working early mornings until the afternoons. I almost never work past 2pm. I am looking to switch to pet sitting and dog walking full-time while I am in online school so hoping to build up some clientele! I am super flexible with anything as well. :) Currently, I am working mornings part-time. I am either off by 12 or 2 in the afternoon. I am a full-time online student so I am looking to move to pet sitting and walking full-time and do more long term bookings! I can give your animal a lot of attention and play with them for however long they want! I am totally open to any kinds of schedules or specific needs you have for your fur babies. I will always make sure they have a full, clean water dish and plenty of food.

About: I’ve grown up with plenty of animals. Between Golden Retrievers to pugs and chihuahuas, I’ve been around plenty of canines. I also have had several cats in my life. I’m currently attending community college without a job and as such am free most days of the week except Monday and Wednesday when I am stuck on campus all day. My yard is fenced however because I live at home with my parents currently, I will be unable to bring home any furry friends unless it’s an absolute emergency.

Jordyn was absolutely awesome!!! I can’t thank her enough for being able to provide drop ins for my bunny on such short notice. I really appreciated her sending me a picture each day and being thorough in making sure my baby was taken care of. She made sure to clean my pet’s water fountain without me asking and I felt great about her watching my girl! I knew while I was gone that she was in safe hands which is the best thing one can hope for in a sitter. I will definitely book with her again in the future if I need care again. Thank you Jordyn!!

Viviana was a very reliable and trustworthy pet sitter! She did drop in visits for my two cats while I was out of town for 2 weeks. She was very prompt and completed all visits on time as agreed. She was very flexible and accommodating when I felt that I needed to add additional visits. While I was gone, an issue with ants coming in after the cat food that was being left out suddenly developed and she handled it so well, cleaning up the ants and ensuring the cats had clean food bowls after each visit. I was never worried about my cats while they were in her care!

Sienna did great with my kitties! I absolutely loved receiving pictures while I was away and it looks like they took a liking to her very quickly😊 I was so thankful to be able to leave town for a bit and know that my cats were in good hands, thanks Sienna! 🐾

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Chico is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
