About: I have taken care of my own pets (two cats and a dog), as well as those of my friends and neighbors since I was a child. I am experienced with reactive and anxious dogs, and am experienced in administering medication. I can take your dog on long walks (5+ miles) and hikes if that’s their thing. I will always give your pets the same care and affection I give my own! My work schedule is extremely flexible. Most of my work obligations are mid-morning, and the rest of my day/evening is free. I walk several miles per day on my own, and would love to bring your dog along with me. I will show your pet the same love and affection I give to my own pets. Your pet’s wellbeing and happiness are my top priority, and I will adjust my services to fit their individual needs.
“Chloe was great! She proactively checked in ahead of our booking, walked our 8 month old puppy, fed her lunch and crated her (all on one of the hottest days of the year)!”
“Anna is our favorite dog walker (and our pups as well)! She is a quick and helpful communicator making booking super easy. She sends lovely photos and updates. And most importantly, our high maintenance pups love her. So glad to have found such a trusted dog walker.”
“Valerie genuinely cares about the pets they watch over. Valerie sends detailed report cards and sweet images of our furry pal that provide reassurance when we’re away. Highly recommended:)”
“This is my second booking with Regan. Once for this come over/potty break/hangout; the other for a multi-overnight. My dogs absolutely LOVE when Regan comes over. Charlie loves everyone and likes to talk about it. Lucy is a very reserved but wants to check things out in case she need to hide. When Regan first met them, she came over to get the key. Lucy was like, "hey lady, 'sup?..", took 2 little ear scratches, and walked off (high praise from her). Charlie was like, "HELLO! You smell like friend." Given this response I knew these goobers would be in great hands. After both visits, when we came in, the girls were on the sofa like, "Dang... It's not Regan, just the parents," and promptly returned to sofa-mode. For our overnight, we returned to a nicely tidy house and happy dogs. (Not the case with other sitters.) We are excited to book with Regan again for our next overnight.”
“Kaylie was incredibly nice and flexible with booking. She was very easy to set up a meet and greet and got along amazing with my dog Apollo! I would absolutely book with her again and I’m sure Apollo looks forward to seeing her again too.”
“Kyah is a fantastic sitter! She took care of my cat when I couldn't be home, which was no small task since she had to visit every day for an extended period. She was always patient and willing to help, and I truly appreciate her dedication. I’ll definitely turn to Kyah again if I ever need a cat sitter in the future!”
“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!”
“Gina is incredible as always and we would recommend her ten fold to anyone! She leaves extremely detailed summaries which we appreciate and is super aware of how your pet is doing!”
“Kim watched my 2 bunnies and did a phenomenal job. I have never felt so comfortable leaving them home! She gave detailed updates, specialized care, and even left a cute personalized note! Couldn’t have been happier, she is awesome!”
“As a long time Rover sitter, this was my first experience on the other side of this service and I have only positive things to say about Solace. She was warm and communicative from Meet & Greet through visits. She took time to make sure that my sometimes anxious dog felt comfortable and able to relax and sent personal updates that made it clear that she was t just phoning it it. I highly recommend Solace as a pet sitter.”
“Nicole came highly recommended and I would highly recommend her as well. She was so easy to work with even on short notice. She took great care of our doggies. Thank you so much Nicole!”
“Constance was great! She was quick to respond and timely on the visit with our pups. She met with our anxious pups before booking. She was sweet on them and stayed around until our pups came out from hiding under the bed. Glad I trusted Constance to check on them!”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs because my mom bred and boarded champion Cocker Spaniels. From a young age, I helped walk, bathe, groom, feed, and care for them, which gave me a genuine love for animals. As an adult, I had a Black Lab who was my best friend for many years. After he passed away a couple of years ago, I realized how much I missed having pets in my life. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet with the same patience, affection, and attention I’d give my own. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours that way too. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and spending time with animals, so making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need is something I genuinely look forward to. I am off Sunday-Tuesday and have availability then. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your routine closely, making sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’ll also keep your home clean and secure, respect your pet’s unique personality and needs, and send updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away
About: I have been caring for my own animals for 15 years and have been doing so professionally for 6 years. I have experience with a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, fish, and birds. I am currently on summer break from my job as a teacher, so I have plenty of availability to care for pets throughout the work week. I put my client and their pets' needs first. Their comfort and safety are of upmost importance to me. I follow all directions given to ensure that all animals are cared for properly.
“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!”
“Amy checked in on our two dogs while we had a late night out. She was wonderful, and was even flexible with a last minute time change. Glad to trust someone with our dogs.”
“Naiomi was wonderful with my puppy. She showed up on time, kept in contact and took great care with June, my pup. I’ve booked her for more day care next week. Highly recommend.”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 6,052 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.
