“My dog, Lucy was not a socialized dog, but after being at Kena's home, she opened up and was able to play with other dogs . she was loved and I completely trust that all her needs will be met. Kena loves all the dogs that comes to her home like a member of the family”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets as a job since I was 10. However, I have grown up from birth around many different animals in my household. Ranging from dogs to turtles, I’ve had it all! I am a college student looking for any work I can get! I currently have a very open, flexible schedule and am willing to work around yours too! Growing up around pets my whole life, I have many tricks and solutions to get dogs to listen in order to assure their safety with me.
“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. :)”
“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!”

Holly took great care of our dog, Coconut! She is great at communicating and updated us on a regular basis to let us know he was doing great and we did not need to worry about him! He was living his best life! Next time we need to leave him with someone, Holly would be the first person that would come to mind!
Forrest took excellent care of our 15-year-old large dog, Zeke, while we were away. He communicated clearly and promptly throughout Zeke’s stay, sending regular updates and pictures that gave us great peace of mind. Because Zeke was unable to make it up the stairs at Forrest’s house, Forrest thoughtfully adjusted his own sleeping arrangements and stayed near Zeke until he was comfortable and settled. We really appreciated the extra care and attention he showed our senior dog. Forrest also took Zeke on walks and was very attentive to his senior pace and needs. When we picked him up, Zeke seemed calm, content, and well cared for, which says a lot. We would absolutely trust Forrest with Zeke again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable, and communicative pet sitter.
Jennifer was the best. She took all three of our pups and we could definitely tell they were all very happy in her care. They even all slept in the bed together by the last night! Very flexible and has a very lovely puppy proof accommodation. We had one kinda rare dog breed she was unfamiliar with and she learned about her before our arrival. We also have a little rescue who can be a bit quirky...they all got on great. Super professional and the pups were definitely having a great time there. Made us so comfortable having to leave our babies. Updates were so cute and fun too. Thank you Jennifer!
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!!
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!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Chico can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chico. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
