“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!”
“Kaylie watched our kitties for about two weeks! She provided us daily updates/pictures of our guys, played with them and kept them fed and happy. I could tell how comfortable they were from the pictures she provided and even our shy guy warmed up and enjoyed his ‘kitty vacation’! We will definitely hire Kaylie again in the future to keep our guys company when away!”
“Anna is wonderful! She’s an open and clear communicator — which has been really helpful as my work schedule keeps changing. And most importantly, our slightly high maintenance dogs love her.”
“Kimberly took great care of my shy cat, Lola, making sure she was okay and giving her treats. She also went above and beyond with extra help around the house — refilling food and water, changing the litter, and even resetting my robot vacuum when it got stuck. Highly recommend!”
“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:)”
“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!”
“It was our first time using the Rover app, and we were very impressed with Solace. She took great care of our cat who needs medication. We felt at ease leaving him knowing she should would give him attention daily in addition to his specific diet/ meds. Kept his littler box and food area clean.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’m new to Rover! I love animals! Theres a dulplicated review glitch on my profile so if anyone can give me a chance to care for your little ones I’d be grateful. I grew up surrounded by family pets. Whenever my parents went out for vacations I would stay at their house to spend time and care for their pets. From walks to feeding and quality time snuggles; I've been blessed to care for and love the beautiful creatures we've been graced to be in companionship with. I don't have any special training, but I love animals and will treat your family with as much care as I would treat my own. I can't wait to meet and care for your animals as well! I'm currently looking for work so I'm very free at the moment. I've loved animals since I was very young so if I could get more into pet care I'd love that. I don't have a place of my own to take care of pets. However, I have taken care of pets in other houses quite often over the years. Your house is your safe place. As someone who is introverted, I know how important a safe place is. With that in mind, I will treat your home with same respect and sanctity that I treat my own if I visit to care for your little ones. Any rules and/or guidelines for your property, I will follow to the best of my abilities to ensure you come back to the same, if not better home than you left from. With regard to your pets at home, you can tell me freely what things there are to keep in mind. The more I know about your pet, the better quality of service I can provide you and your pet with. I am open to discussions about home care options as well, if that is something you are looking for. (Things like yard care, cleaning, etc.)
“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.”
“Sabrina was great while I was on my recent trip! My cat has very specific dietary needs and she followed all the instructions perfectly! She took great care of him with her drop-in visits and I will happily book with her again!”
“Once again, Lisa provided has exceeded our pet care expectations. Lisa takes the time with each visit to ensure our two indoor kitties are well taken care of. What's best about her visits is that Lisa takes the time to bond and connect with each one. With each visit, Lisa is sure to keep in touch with updates and photos of our kitties, DJ and Olive! While the two were happy to see us upon return from the week long trip, they were relaxed and not anxious at all. Thanks again Lisa, your the best!”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of dogs and cats for family and friends ever since I was a little kid, and owned both kitties and doggies of different breeds most of my life. I’ve read a few training books for doggies, stayed multiple nights for pet sitting, volunteered at pet shops, worked at pet stores, handled kittens and puppies with care, worked with senior cats and dogs, as well as other barn animals as well! I am currently working a part time job in silverdale, usually around 10-15 hours a week. I always receive my schedule at least a week in advance, so I just need time to plan around that. Otherwise, I’m a fairly open schedule! I have experience with crating dogs and giving them daily medicines if needed, or any unique care. If there is ever at all an emergency situation, I will call you immediately while also taking your dog to the vet.
“Our pups took to Olivia during the meet and greet, before we even finalized her services. She’s extremely kind and very thoughtful about learning how to care for your pups individual needs. We felt extremely comfortable with Olivia and could tell our pups were too. We absolutely loved the photos that were shared with us during her drop-in visit and could see how happy they were to have her give them some midday attention. Highly recommend Olivia and plan on requesting her services again in the near future. Thanks, Olivia!”
About: I will start off with saying, I am insured with PCI! I’ve had dogs my whole life, I have 5 at the moment. 2 cats, a (Yearling), tortoise, frog many animals. I have experience with plenty of animals. I have animal sat for multiple families and friends and they have loved me! I work fulltime but can make time for your babies. I treat your babies like mine. I make sure they get the love and care they need. I slowly introduce myself, if you need your dog crated I can do that. If all we need to do for your pet is we meet a few times before petsitting that is okay, or if you need me to bring my dog so your dog can meet mine. Whatever helps with your animal to feel comfortable and safe.
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”

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.

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.
