“Holly is always amazing with my dog. She really goes the extra mile and makes sure that you are comfortable and updated when away from your pet. She paid attention to his every need and he always is super happy. Thanks Holly!”
“Easy 5-star review!! I really appreciate the flexibility on Danielle’s part to adjust around my very changing work trip. The dogs really were well looked after and enjoyed their stay. Thank you so much!!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“Jennifer treated our dog like her own. He received top notch care while staying with her, including a run, dog puzzle, and cozy bed to sleep in. He came home happy. We truly appreciate Jennifer and look forward to having Odin stay with her again.”
“Our dog Logan had the absolute best time with Lynnette and her husband. Their space was so perfect and allowed there to be room for our pup to run around but also relax. I feel good knowing that he was comfortable in their home and will absolutely rebook in the future. She took him for a walk everyday and sent lots of pictures which is just so amazing. She truly went above and beyond. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup! It means the world to us!”
“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! ❤️🐾”
About: I have helped out w my friends pets, both dogs & cats throughout the years, I have worked w young & adult animals. With my flexible schedule, I can care for animals per their specific needs. My schedule is flexible since my daily job is a hairdresser, so I can adjust my schedule to fit in needs for each animal individually. I have a small fenced in yard at my home, would prefer to do in clients home, since most animals are more comfortable with that.
“Forest is awesome!!! We were quite skeptical because we had left our dog William with others and it was a disaster. We met up with Forest and let will meet him. They hit it off almost immediately. Forest is professional, responsible, caring and really takes his role seriously. He once told me, “ I want your dog to come back to you as healthy and happy as he was dropped off to me.” I felt that! Will is like my child and I worry when we are away, but I know if he is with Forest (and Norma-who Will absolutely adores) I KNOW he is getting the best possible care. He even sends me pictures and updates. Thank you Forest for taking great care of our fur baby when we have to be away!”
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 am a retired veterinary professional and lifelong animal lover. I have two extremely friendly pups, Pukka and Tildon, that are happy to share their space if your kiddo would enjoy it. I have a fenced back yard. Our household goes on one (if not more) walks a day. My boys are well leash trained and would welcome a walking buddy. Depending on your location I'd also be happy to walk your pup solo. We love cats and I am happy to give anything from a few water and kibble top offs and litter box changes as needed to nightly cuddles and adoration. I offer a love and care for all critters (snakes, birds, rabbits, turtles, fish, dogs, cats, horses, you name it!), 10+ years of experience in the veterinary field, and an understanding of animal handling that I know will bring you comfort in my work. If your pet requires special care such as insulin injections, oral medications, SQ fluids, etc please notify me. I am comfortable with medical procedures but reserve the right to adjust my pricing according (upon discussion of course). I work 8-4:30 most days. I am two minutes away from home and always come home to check on the critters on my lunch. We go for walks in them morning before work and there is a dog door into the back yard that can be open if needed. Fenced (6+ feet) back yard with locked gate. I have door dog insert on my back door so everyone can come and go as they please. I live in a small one room studio with a yard about four times its size. Dogs are allowed on the bed and there is a step up onto the bed for senior citizens. It is a small but very comfortable space.
“Thank you so much Jasmine! I booked last due to a cancellation and you were able to accommodate my sweet Cali. I will be forever be grateful. Great communication and updates.”
“Mary is absolutely amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. Her love for animals is very apparent- she is kind and caring and cares for the pets she sits as if they were her own. When she boards dogs at her house, they have ample room to run and a clean, safe environment. I would recommend Mary to anyone looking for a responsible, reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Our dog is our last child still living with us. So, yeah, we super worry about him. We were 100% satisfied with his care. The sweet photos were priceless. The young girl in the home really was a bonus we knew he would love, and she loved on him too. They went on such beautiful walks. The approach of having some puppy “friends” who come and go, while others do the epic sleepover was so great!! Cannot wait to have him stay again.”

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!
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! ❤️🐾
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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Chico
Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
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 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.
