“I left my sweet but high-medical needs senior lab, Opal, with Kena and her family, and they took perfect care of her. Her kids were immediately gentle and kind to Opal, greeting her, petting her ears, and helping to brush her. Over the weekend I got updates about how Opal was doing, reassurance that she was getting her meds, and lovely photos of her resting or exploring in the yard. When I went to pick Opal up, she was happy to see me, but it was clear she felt very at home with Kena and the kids, and it even took a little convincing to get her to come out the door with me to get in the car. I would take her back to Kena for future care in a heartbeat.”
“Our girls had a wonderful time with Yesenia again! She was very accommodating with our schedule and we were very comfortable knowing she was watching our dogs. We will continue to use her in the future!”
“Holly is amazing. She made us feel at ease from the minute we walked in the door for our meet & greet. She sent us many pictures along with updates to keep us informed while he was with her. He even got to visit their gym - I think he is now a gym-dog!!! Melvin seemed happy and content while in her care. You can tell she just loves animals and is so good with them - we will definitely have Mel stay with her next time we need a sitter. Thanks Holly for loving our Mel like we do!”
“My dog loooooves Danielle so much! She sends me pictures when he is with her and he always looks so happy. She is able to pick him up and bring him home and he is always ecstatic to see her when she arrives. He comes home a happy healthy guy every time. I'm so grateful for her.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I recently graduated from Chico state and currently have two dogs of my own a 6 year old toy poodle and a 5 months old border collie mix. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog or cat with someone else. That’s why I do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get cuddles, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work part time at Bath & Body Works and usually only have 2–3 shifts a week, so my schedule is very flexible. When I’m not working, I’m home spending time with my own dogs. This allows me to be available for different drop-off and pick-up times and gives me plenty of time to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like they’re one of my own. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets get lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal routine and help them feel right at home.
“Jessica watched our 9 week old puppy for 3 days. She accepted the job on a holiday weekend. She has the perfect home and yard with the friendliest dog for our puppy to play with. She sent us pics and videos and gave us such piece of mind. I will definitely use her services again! ❤️🐾”
“Lesly was great with our Dog JJ. He was apparently very comfortable at her place and got lots of attention. She even Texted us several photos of him and he didn’t show any symptoms of separation anxiety, that we were worried about. Great Sitter!”
“Jennifer was very accommodating to our short notice need for care for my dog. She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates during Rivers short stay. River came home happy and we are thankful for the great care she got with Jennifer.”
“This was Beau’s first stay with Forest. He took Beau for long walks a few times a day, and he provided daily updates with photos. Forest treated our pup as if he were his own, and his home is well-suited for dogs. We would definitely use Forest again for our future boarding needs. Thank you!”
“Deena was wondering with our large pup. She sent us photo updates and let him run around and play as much as his little heart desired. He came home tired and happy. Will use her again!”
“Ally was amazing for our Malcolm. She quickly responded and sent lots of updates during his stay. She was so helpful and trustworthy. We would definitely have her watch Malcolm again.”

“Taralene was so accommodating to me and my dog! We needed a last minute booking and she didn't hesitate to respond back with a solid yes. I receieved several photos throughout the week and could tell my boy was in good hands. My dog returned to me happy, healthy and tired. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Taralene again.”
“Lynette was super responsive and very responsible with our dog Odin. She treated Odin like one of her own, and was very helpful when it turned out he wasn't feeling well for part of the visit. Lynette takes the dogs out on walks and has a great setup for the dogs, and sent lots of updates and photos. Absolutely one of the best sitters we've been lucky to work with.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Mary was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got home. I really appreciated the photo updates and attention to detail. Her other dogs are very friendly and play well with my guy. The property is great for high energy dogs that need to run. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter! 🐾”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chico
Ashley was amazing and so kind. We came home to a dog who wasn't anxious, which we are used to when taking even small trips away from him. Our home was pretty much exactly the way we left it too. We also had a small water leak and Ashley called us right away when she noticed and let us know. It was a relief to leave Indie with Ashley and I would do it again in a second. Thank you Ashley!!
We highly recommend Deena to take care of your dog. We found Deena on Rover.com she was a stranger. We left our cattledog who has some separation anxiety with her for 5 nights. Deena wrote us with updates and pictures during the week. Our dog Shoni was well cared for and a happy girl when we picked her up. Deena has a great yard and space for dogs to feel comfortable and be able to roam and play. Again can’t say enough good things: She was caring, genuinely loves dogs, interested in how to maw Shoni feel comfortable and cared for as far as feeding, bedding etc., great communication, amazing yard, and an animal lover. Thanks again Deena!
Holly is great with our 11 year old pooch and at relieving my anxiety about leaving him with someone other than a family member. She sends pics/updates and is easy to communicate with. We appreciate her and are happy that we’ve found someone trustworthy and reliable to allow us to get away to places that aren’t dog friendly. 🐶
Natali is an incredible and excellent caretaker! It’s very clear that she loves animals and does everything to provide a welcoming and comfortable space for your pet. She’s very communicative and accommodating to your pet’s needs. Her friendliness made it super easy for my dog to warm up to her. I very much appreciated her watching my dog for a few days, and will definitely be back in the future!
Christina V. was an amazing sitter for our rescue puppy. This was Jenny’s first time being away from us and because she is fearful of everyone we knew we needed someone special. Christina was kind and caring and really made it easier for us to leave our puppy overnight with a sitter for the first time. Christina met us at the park the day before the ‘slumber party’ so that Jenny could get a bit familiar with her. They had a great time. I got updates and videos of our baby girl playing and doing just fine. We highly recommend Christina for your sitting needs.
Paige was amazing with our dog Finde. She was great with communication and provided regular updates. She was flexible when we had a later pick up time than anticipated. Finde had the time of his life and come home super happy. As someone who is very picky about I leave my dog with, I felt very at ease trusting Paige. We definitely plan to continue to use Paige in the future.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chico on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 96 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chico. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Chico sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Chico landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Chico home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Chico.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Chico sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
