“We are fairly new to the platform and one of our dogs had never been watched for at this capacity and Kena was beyond gracious around some challenges that came with that. We received several thoughtful updates & pictures that were comforting for us while we were on our trip. I highly recommend Kena to anybody who is looking for a 5 star experience for their pups while they are away.”
“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 took care of my very nervous 14 year old dog Abbie for 10 days. I received multiple photos and videos updates throughout the time. Holly patiently worked with Abbie, helping her to get over her fears. I now say my Abbie has two mommies! I recommend Holly without reservation. Your dog will be well taken care of while you are away.”
“We needed someone last-minute and were so relieved to find Danielle! She picked up our dog on short notice, extended his stay when we had to, and kept things smooth and easy the whole time. Super grateful for her help and flexibility—thank you!”
About: Hi! We’re Brittany and Chris, and we’ve been dog people our entire lives. We know that leaving your pup with someone else can be a big leap of trust — they’re family, after all! Our goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels right at home with us. We’ve both grown up with dogs and most recently had the joy of caring for our beloved Border Collie, Charley, through his senior years. We understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and we’re happy to follow whatever helps your pup feel comfortable and cared for. Our home is clean, cozy, and very dog-friendly. We’re big fans of couch cuddles, playtime, and having a pup happily hanging out alongside us. If your dog thinks the best place in the house is curled up on the couch or snuggled in bed with their people, they’ll fit right in here! We have a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, but your pup will never be left outside unsupervised. We’re also within walking distance of beautiful Bidwell Park, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, exploring, and fresh air. I work from home, which means your dog will have lots of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. We’ll give your pup plenty of love, attention, playtime, and, of course, as many cuddles as they’re willing to accept. We’d love to get to know you and your four-legged family member and make their stay with us feel like a home away from home! Brittany works from home and has a very flexible schedule so can spend all day with your dog. We are happy to modify our daily routines to accommodate your dogs's normal walking and feeding schedule so they feel right at home. We can also accommodate last minute bookings. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard where your dog can enjoy outdoor time, but we will always supervise them while they’re outside. Inside, they’re welcome to make themselves completely at home — including cuddling up on the couch or sleeping on the bed with us. We only host one family’s dogs at a time, so your pup gets our full attention without having to share our home with unfamiliar dogs. We also do not have children, creating a calm and comfortable environment where your dog can settle in and feel at ease. We’ll follow your pup’s routines, preferences, and house rules as closely as possible so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay.
“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!”
“First time leaving our boy with someone other then family and our experience and his couldn’t of been better. Thanks Jennifer for making Ranger feel comfortable and loved! We’ll see you next month.”
“She was absolutely amazing with my pup! She followed his routine, gave plenty of playtime and attention, and sent me lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciated. He had a great time playing with her dogs too! I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her if your looking for such amazing care.”
“Deena took excellent care of our two German shepherds while we were in Hawaii! We got updates during our trip and we could tell the dogs were having a great time and loved Deena. We highly recommend trusting in her to take care of your dogs!”
“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!”
About: I had my own cat named Jesse for 16 years. He was the love of my life. My best friend, child and ruled the home. I work as a caregiver part time so I make my own schedule. I am home most of the time available to give loving attention. I live in a very pet friendly community with a large courtyard. Many dogs and cats live here. California Park Lake is across the street.
“Lynette was nothing less than fantastic. Scout was happily exhausted and seems to have made some new friends. Lynette sent frequent updates and let us share in the fun with pictures.”
“Robyn was amazing with my two yorkies. She updated me everyday with pictures, took them for a walk, made me feel at ease while me and my husband had fun in vegas. I will definitely book with her again next time we come to town. Thank you Robyn!”
“Amazing Service!! I needed boarding for my dog Honey VERY last minute and Jessica was happy to help! She did a great job at caring for my girl and even sending photos of my dog throughout the time she was there, which I really appreciated. I would definitely rebook with her!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing playtime and companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand the importance of following each dog's routine and giving them the attention and care they need I work a part-time job, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for dog sitting. I am available before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I ensure pets receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I carefully manage my schedule to provide reliable, consistent care and keep pets comfortable in their regular routine I can care for pets either in my home or in the owner's home, depending on their needs. I provide attentive care, regular exercise, feeding, companionship, and a safe environment while ensuring each pet's routine is maintained as closely as possible
“Monisha was great with Wrex and provided lots of pictures and details of daily activities, including lots of walks. I will book with her again and was very happy with her service!”
About: I’ve dog sat for family friends since the age of 18. Pet boarding, sitting, walking, and caring for them just like my own dogs! I’ve got 2 friendly and small dogs of my own! I work part time while in school, so I’m currently free on weekends, but will have more availability opening up in mid May through the summer months! I care for them just like my own! I have ample beds and toys and the dogs have a secluded space in my living room! I’m also able to crate or separate from my own dogs if needed.
“Amazing service! This was our first time hiring a dog sitter for our dog and we were a bit nervous but everything went smoothly and we received daily updates which was great! Highly recommended! Thank you!”

Jennifer was amazing! She was recommended to us by a friend, and made our dog’s first stay with a dog sitter much less stressful. She texted us photos and videos during the stay, which was so helpful! Our dog had so much fun playing with the other pups, and we felt confident about their interactions because Jennifer conducted a thorough intake with us several weeks before the booking to ensure we were a good match!
She was absolutely amazing with my pup! She followed his routine, gave plenty of playtime and attention, and sent me lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciated. He had a great time playing with her dogs too! I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her if your looking for such amazing care.
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!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Chico on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 104 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.
91% 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.
