“Valerie is amazing! We were lucky enough that she was able to do a couple of very last minute drop-in visits, and our dog was immediately at ease with her. Valerie was also great with communication during her visits, which gave me the peace of mind that our dog was in good hands.”
“Did an amazing job with our pets and understood our cats' food quirks. The pets seemed smitten with her and she followed all instructions for the pets. Communicated well, and promptly. Let us know immediately when she couldnt find our cat (he was just in one of his hiding places) and found him promptly. Sent lots of pictures. Would recommend.”
“I'm very happy that I found Hailey & Joshua. They took great care of my shy, rescue kitty, making her feel comfortable while I was away on a long vacation. They provided excellent communication every step of the way, exceeding all of my expectations. I would absolutely rebook them again.”
“So appreciative of having Olivia nearby to check-in on our pups. We love the photos and can truly see how loved our pups feel when she’s with them. Super dependable and trustworthy!!”
“Jennifer is great and our dogs loved her from the first meeting! She is great with communication, sending pics of our dogs and very loving with our doodles! Thanks so much Jennifer! Timber and Sperry already miss you!”
“Constance spent a great deal of time at our meet and greet getting to know our dogs and me as the dog mom. I was so comfortable after that first meeting I asked her to check in on our cats that week! When I tell you she got the best photos of our “large and not so in charge” cat Henry Purrito…well, it made us happy. I could tell they were well cared for and happy. She’s responsive to requests, flexible and dependable. I’m looking forward to her walking our dogs five days a week!”
About: I’ve fostered dogs with the company Animal pad in San Diego, I adopted one of those dogs and I volunteer for the Kitsap humane society. I’m recently out of the Navy and about to start school. Looking for short term income where I can have a flexible schedule on the new journey in my life. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away and send plenty of cute pictures so you know they are cared for so you can enjoy your time.
“Katherine and her son were wonderful to work with! They took wonderful care of my two dogs and provided regular updates and photos while I was away traveling. I know my dogs appreciated the cuddles and attention they received since they both struggle when their routine is adjusted. Boscoe found a new best friend with Katherine’s son 😊 Katherine also went above and beyond caring for our chickens too! She made sure they were well fed, watered, and that the brooding box was safe as I was concerned with the safety of a heat lamp. Katherine is my first choice in dog sitter for all future travel/dog sitting needs. Thank you!”
“Bailey was excellent! I tend to leave very specific instructions, and Bailey followed them to a tee! My feeders have a light that indicates that they’re working properly and I said “bonus points if the rover pic has the lights on” and every single rover card had a picture with the lights on!! Really allows me to feel like my cats are in good hands when I leave. Also this was a very last-minute trip and Bailey was fast to respond, and available for key pick up before I left. 5/5 for sure!”
“Kimberly is bar-none our favorite dog sitter. She's very kind and attentive and has been incredibly flexible and easy to work with. We always feel at our most comfortable when we know she can be with our dog while we're away.”
“Nicole did an excellent job taking care of my little chickens. She was easy to communicate with and flexible. She even kept the coop clean and tidy and spent time with my chicks. I will definitely use her again.”
“Chloe was awesome! She was super responsive when I was in a pinch and requested last minute. She hit all the requested drop in times and kept me updated with pictures. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Great help looking after our cats! My one silly boy managed to lock himself in the bathroom within a day of us leaving for our trip, so every visit Jerry made sure to check that he could see the cats before he left so there wouldn’t be anymore jailed kitties - thanks again!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have several years of hands-on experience through pet sitting, fostering dogs and kittens through the Humane Society, and caring for pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, routines, and care needs. I provide calm, attentive care and do my best to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines while you’re away. Communication, cleanliness, and creating a low-stress experience for both pets and owners are very important to me. For house sitting, I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and aim to leave everything clean, organized, and well cared for. I also like to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’ve always had pets, so caring for animals has naturally been part of my daily routine for as long as I can remember. I also work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend quality time with the pets I’m caring for while still maintaining their normal routines. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and want pets to feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I follow instructions closely and always keep communication open throughout the stay.
“Amanda is always amazing! She has checked on my cats and chickens for me two or three times now, and she never disappoints! Her updates are thorough, she shares adorable pictures of my babies, and even feeds snacks to the chickens sometimes. They are used to our kitchen scraps on a daily basis, so I'm sure they really apperciate the snacks she gives while we are gone. 😊 The cats love her and love her attention. She hangs out the full half hour to give them the love they crave while we are gone. I couldn't apperciate her more!”
“As a first time rover user I definitely couldn’t have chosen a better person to watch my dog. I can’t say I wasn’t overthinking and worried about harper, but she was very communicative on updates, and I can tell my dog was very happy to see her every time she came for a check in. 100% going to become a reoccurring customer. Thank you!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chico
Sophia came in clutch! Our other sitter got sick and couldn't make it while we were out of town. I sent her a message and she replied within 15 min. I sent pictures with instructions. She asked follow up questions to make sure our animals got the best care! 10/10 would recommend!! Will be using again!
Kaylie is such an attentive sitter! One of my kitties is exceptionally skittish and she was even able to coax her out and even got pets!!!! Highest recommend. This isn’t my first time booking her but I will certainly be booking again for my pet sitting needs. ❤️
Cheyenne was absolutely amazing! She came by daily to take great care of Poppinbeats and kept me updated every day with the cutest photos and helpful messages. She even caught things I wouldn’t have noticed, like when my automatic litter box got stuck. I seriously couldn’t ask for better care. This was hands down one of the best pet-sitting experiences I’ve had, and I’d be more than happy to have her take care of Poppinbeats again. When I got home, Poppinbeats was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. So appreciative of Cheyenne . highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Chico on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,044 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Chico. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 cat, 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, 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

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.
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.
