About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years and truly love working with animals. I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages, including small dogs, large dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also cared for cats for about a week at a time, helping with feeding, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners were away. I’m patient, dependable, and will care for your pets like they’re my own. WEEK OF JULY 19 WORK SCHEDULE: Wed: 4pm-9pm, Thurs: 4pm-9pm, Fri: 5pm-10pm, Sat: 4pm-9pm I am currently working part time. I am able to stay overnight on weekends (will be notified if I get scheduled by work instead). I have free time to come check on dogs every few hours and give them lots of love and attention. Also depending on my schedule I can work during the week. I’m a college student but I’m on summer break so no need to worry about my school schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. I always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions carefully. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment so your furry friend can feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

Alisa was above and beyond the best dog walking experience I could have ever hoped for! My boy Porter absolutely loved her from day one! Alisa is very sweet and very prompt with her responses, and she made me feel at ease with her daily updates and photos of Porter. Thank you so much Alisa, you are absolutely wonderful!!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science (Pre-Vet) at Chico State and working toward my Veterinary Assistant certification, which has given me hands-on experience in proper animal handling, behavior, and care. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats extensively, including volunteering at animal and cat shelters. As a pet owner myself (from a Belgian Malinois to a Chihuahua, and currently a cat), I understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. I’m also involved in Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I help train dogs; building strong skills in patience, consistency, and communication. Most importantly, I care not only about your pets but about your peace of mind. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own cat with a consistent feeding schedule, fresh water, enrichment, and medication when needed. I also regularly work with livestock, keeping me active in hands-on animal care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, and I take care to remove any potential hazards. I closely follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding routines, medications, and any specific care needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe and stress-free. I also carry basic animal first aid supplies and am prepared to respond calmly in case of emergencies. Building trust with pet parents is just as important to me as caring for their pets. I provide updates, communicate clearly, and aim to give helpful feedback when needed. My goal is for you to feel completely confident while you’re away and to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet.

Carlee has been absolutely wonderful with my pup. She always sends photos and a message with how the walks went. She is also super funny telling me the silly things my pup did with her! 😋 she's a great communicator, very flexible with her availability, and very reliable. I never had to worry about my pup in her care. We are very sad to have to let her go for family reasons, but she has offered to help out should we need her again. I highly recommend Carlee for your fur baby's care! 🫶

About: I have lived with and cared for animals almost my entire life, and I have been told many times that I have a way with animals. All of my dogs have been adopted or rescued, and they all came from situations of abuse, abandonment, or neglect. Every single one of my dogs, with love and training, became amazing, wonderful companions. All any dog wants is simply to know what to do to get love and treats. So I'm a big believer in love and treats. With my dogs, I have used Gentle Leader halter collars to guide them for appropriate behavior during walks and click-treat training to teach them what I want them to do. I don't use harsh words, painful collars, or physical punishment. And with cats, all of my cats have been inside-only cats and utterly spoiled. Of course. Over the years, my cats have trained me well, and I speak fluent feline. I am currently working, but my schedule gives me complete freedom and flexibility. I can easily work around your schedule to care for your pets. I realize that people have different ways of caring for their pets and structuring their pet's home environment. I try to be mindful of how my client wants things done and, of course, careful about their pet's safety at all times.

About: I've taken care of pets outside of my own for about five years; some puppies, some elderly dogs, many cats. I'm always excited to spend time with and take care of new pets and ready to provide whatever they need! I have recently graduated from college and have no current conflicts in my schedule. I am available whenever and for however long you need! My pet care routine typically involves a shorter walk in the morning and a long walk or wander through the park in the evening, but I am flexible and can work with what your pet needs! I have a small fenced portion of the yard and a dog friendly home that your pet can roam around in freely, I also live close to the park and will definitely walk the dogs down there to cool off in the creek if they need it!

About: I provide attentive, reliable care for dogs of all sizes with a strong focus on safety, structure, and low-stress environments. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, senior, crate-trained, or simply used to a specific routine, I adapt my care to fit their individual needs and personality. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs that require confidence, consistency, and attentive handling. My approach is calm, patient, and structured so dogs feel secure while owners feel confident knowing their pet is in capable hands. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a major decision. Because of that, I prioritize professionalism, communication, and dependable care from start to finish. Owners receive regular updates and photos throughout their booking so they always know how their dog is doing. I have experience with: • Large and giant breeds • High-energy dogs • Senior dogs • Nervous or anxious pets • Crate and kennel routines • Multi-dog households • Long walks and exercise needs My goal is simple: provide a calm, safe, and dependable environment where dogs are genuinely cared for and owners can have complete peace of mind while they’re away. Right now, I have full availability, which allows me to give your pet my full attention and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I understand that trusting someone with your home and your pets is a big decision. I take that responsibility seriously and always treat your space and animals with the utmost respect and care. Here’s how I ensure safety and peace of mind: I closely follow all instructions you provide to maintain your pet’s routine I keep a clean, respectful presence in your home I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health and will notify you immediately if anything seems off I prioritize secure doors, gates, and safe environments at all times My years of experience have built a strong foundation of responsibility, awareness, and genuine care for animals.

I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work with clients availability. I don’t have the ability to care for any pets in my own home at the moment but I am more than willing to come to a clients home and care for the pets there.

About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.

About: I will do everything to keep your dog safe, loved and comfortable!! I have taken care of dogs recently, I always make sure to give them the love and attention that they deserve if not more. I understand the feeling of leaving your dog at home while you are away and I want to continue to be the person people feel safe and secure to leave their dog at home or with me. I have a dog that loves too play as well so making friends is never a worry for him. I currently work part time, but after 1pm I am available. I do have some errands I do but doesn’t usually last for more than an hour. I am a student as well and attend online classes on Mondays but it won’t a disturbance. I am available on weekends for boarding or pet sitting at someone’s house as well. I live in a small apartment but have three room in which one isn’t being used. There is a big grassy area behind my apartment that I usually take my dog to and we do lots of long walks. There is plenty of of space for your fur baby and even though I have cats they like to be in one room so they wouldn’t be a bothers

About: Taking care of a dog's physical comfort and well-being makes them happy, which makes me happy! Having grown up with dogs in the house, I started training my own dog at the age of nine. Being my own boss means I create time to be blessed by the presence of your dogs. While housesitting for you, your home and animals are my only concern. In your home, I feed, water, brush, and play with your dogs. If you like, I can also bathe your precious. During our walks we do a little bit of training. Rather than offering treats, I utilize praise as their reward for a job well done.

Carly has walked my three dogs and has pet sit for them at my home. She is amazing and my dogs love her! My dogs are a lot. One is 105lb american bulldog who is mellow, but a lot of dog lol and can be reactive to small dogs. The other one has major puppy vibes and takes a minute to warm up to new people. The third is a chill older dog, but can get a spicy attitude whenever she's inclined. I've left them for 6 days with Carly before. When I came home, my dogs were happy and healthy and no issues. The puppy injured his dew claw and Carly reached out and got him to the vet. He trusted her the whole time! Everything healed great. Highly recommend her. I will be using her in the future too.

I also really appreciate his commitment to giving my active pup the exercise he needs. He consistently provides good, lengthy walks that leave my dog happy and well-exercised.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Chico

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Chico on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 347 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Chico. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Chico. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Chico.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chico. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
