“This was a very positive experience, she kept in great contact with us the whole time and made me feel very comfortable leaving my babies. Sent lots of picture of them playing in the yard with the ball. My babies are home now very happy and tired. Would definitely book again!!”
“Whitley has helped us twice, and does a wonderful job! She kept us updated with photos, took our puppy for walks, and took great care of him. The second time we dropped him off he ran straight up to Whitley wagging his tail so hard - he was really happy to see her again! =) So our dog's rating also seems to be 5 stars for Whitley.”
“Margaret was great with Penny. Penny was pretty anxious when we left her, and Margaret helped her to feel comfortable and happy. She lives in a great spot with a fenced back yard where Penny could hang out and explore. We recommend Margaret and would definitely ask her to watch Penny again.”
“I cannot recommend Joules highly enough! She was absolutely fantastic with my dog while I was away. Joules is not only charismatic but also incredibly attentive and caring. She sent daily updates with wonderful pictures that truly brightened my day and assured me that my sweet dog was in great hands. My dog had medical needs that had to be cared for while I was away, and Joules followed all instructions meticulously and made sure my dog received the care and attention necessary. I felt completely at ease knowing that Joules was looking after my pup. Overall, Joules exceeded my expectations in every way possible. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is not only competent but also genuinely cares for your pet, Joules is the best choice. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Joules, for everything!”
About: I’ve had my own dogs & cats all my life and love to love them! I’ve dog sat 7 dogs at one time and they were all such happy campers! I do not currently live with all of my pets! Puhi and Bass, my cats, live with me. I am currently a full-time student and work part time at a local restaurant. I do have lots of free time where I would love to take care of some dogs and cats to fill my time. I am very aware of my surroundings when I’m in charge of other peoples animals. I can crate them if needed and walk them as much as needed, etc.
“My dog had a wonderful time with Emma. Emma sent pictures through out the day and left messages to let me know how my dog was doing. I would certainly recommend you go with them for your sitting needs! It was a total relief to know my dog was in good hands while I was out of town.”
“Katie was the best for taking care of my senior Mini Aussie, Stone. He was well cared for... many walks, a hike even and toys, and another dog to play with. He was so happy when I picked him up! Great stay... highly recommend, Kaitie!”
About: I’ve grown up with German shepherds all my life, taken care of the neighbors pets, attentive to pet needs, and able to exercise and engage animals well!

Offering some mornings, evenings, depending on the day, and weekends! I have a house that has a large backyard space with grass and concrete, but no fence.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
100% 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 MT 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.
