“Holly has been an amazing sitter for our Goldendoodle. Our dog tends to be high-strung but she is totally relaxed with Holly and enjoys going on walks. It didn't take our dog long to feel comfortable with Holly. We are really happy with her service.”
“Kena is THE BEST! She’s watched my pup multiple times now, and she always takes such excellent care of him. She’s great about sending pictures and updates. I have no worries about leaving my fur baby with her.”
“Kassandra did a great job taking care of my pup. She responded quick to my request and was there to meet me when I dropped my dog off. She had a Mello dog and a nice backyard for my girl to hang out in. Would definitely consider booking with her again!”
“Jessica was great! She took our dog in last minute for the day and sent us updates throughout the time. The backyard was huge and had plenty of space for the dog to run and sniff.”
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.
“Tylyn was so amazing. She was so accommodating to us when we had poor planning and ended up being back later than we thought. Our puppy had the best time and we got the cutest pictures of him throughout the day! We would love to have our puppy back with her!”
“Giovanna was very accomodating. She picked Ranger up every morning for his day fun with her. She was great about communication and has an obvious passion for dogs. Her home is beautiful, her own pup is a sweetheart, and my Rangy was able to have a nice escape while I was away.”
“Danielle took good care of my dog who has separation anxiety and does not like other dogs. She was very considerate of my dogs needs and my wonky schedule. Thank you for taking care of my pup”
About: I have experience caring for many dogs for friends family and neighbors. I often would care for my neighbors dog since he was a puppy, parents worked full time and puppies need all the attention they can get so I helped train him. I also trained my own puppy Melo, he’s still growing and learning but I love being his mom. I take extra care of his supplements and nutrition so I know the importance of taking the extra time to do all of that. I have a verry good schedule with being home, I have two dogs of my own iam always coming home at lunch whenever I work. My husband also has a great schedule and helps me out whenever iam not here . When boarding with me I’ll have my dogs stay under my moms care while I pay full attention to your critter. I live in a house with a huge yard they can run around. I am also close enough to bidwell park to go on walks if you’d like that!
“Bentley had the absolute best time with Deena. It could not have been more perfect. He played all day and came home a happy and tired pup. Deena and her husband clearly love animals and are excellent caregivers. Deena even sent us off with extra treats--some lovely squash and plums from her garden. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy.”
“Maeve loves going to Forest's house! We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with Maeve. Forest always makes sure she gets good exercise and has fun stories to share with us after her stays.”
About: I have been taking care of houses and pets since I was 15, whether it be for my family, a friend, a boss - I’ve done it all. I’ve been around animals for most of my life, too. Both old and young, medication or no medication, ball or frisbee, I will do everything I can to ensure your fuzzy friend is taken care of, safe, and loved! I currently work a part-time job, with very flexible hours. My shifts are usually only 4-6 hours long in the early afternoon, and throughout the week have varying days where I may not work and can dedicate as much time as needed! I care for your pets by making them my first priority, and by providing companionship while you’re away. I want every pet to feel comfortable and calm, and can be there for them consistently so they feel safe and cared for.
“Finding Mitchell has been a huge relief as my dog gets adjusted to a new move. She has been so flexible, quick to respond, and my dog has had great interactions with her dogs and family during his mornings with Mitchell. Thank you so much!”
About: I have 5 years of experience in walking, sitting, and boarding dogs. I used the WAG app since 2021 but since it has slowed down, I have decided to try here. I have 40+ 5 star ratings on there! I always provide the best care for everyone's animals as I do mine. I am currently going to Chico State full time, but I have only 2 days where I am on campus, otherwise I work on my car or spend time in nature! I have a large, fenced backyard, where a dog can run around freely. Lots of grass to play with and trees with shade they can rest under.
“Autumn was great!!! She came and met my dog before the doggy day care stay. She made sure my dog was comfortable with her and followed all my instructions. My dog got along well with Bruno, Autumn’s dog. Bruno is very friendly. She took videos of them playing and sent me regular photo updates,which I really appreciated. I will continue working with Autumn for doggy day care! Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chico
Forest was great! (And so was his wife, Norma). I live on the San Francisco side of the bay, had a work appointment in Chico that was to last three-to-four hours, and then was heading on to see a friend in Oregon. I needed care in Chico for a window of six hours for my dog, Ichi. I reached out to Forest. He responded immediately. He assured me when I asked that he doesn't mix dogs from different households, which was a relief to me. (Ichi is a senior dog, had undergone surgery for a dental issue the previous week and was still healing.) I booked the care, and when I arrived, Forest was out front waiting for us. While I was gone, Forest took Ichi on a walk and had Ichi on the couch with him otherwise. It was perfect for Ichi, and worked perfectly for me. Both Forest and Norma were delightful, excellent communicators, trustworthy, and I would use them again for Ichi's care in a heartbeat if/when in Chico again. Thank you Forest!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Chico commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 96 sitters in Chico, 100% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
