“I would highly recommend Kaylie to anyone! This was my first time leaving our 3 rambunctious pups for someone to watch at home. My anxiety was quickly washed away after Kaylies first visit to the house. One of our dogs is very fearful and requires an experienced handler. After Day 1 they were already best buds. We were gone for a total of 9 days and our pups were happy and healthy when we came home. Highly recommend!!!!”
“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!”
“Gina is AMAZING with our high energy, working dog! She has immediately become our go-to sitter, and who I would refer any of my own clients to. She’s very quick to reply, book, and keeps to scheduled timing. She went above and beyond for our two cats as well. I am very anxious about our pup, but Gina gives me absolute peace of mind about our household!”
About: Growing up I always had at least one cat who I was responsible for taking care of. I loved animals so much as a child that I volunteered as a dog walker for my local shelter. Currently, I live with and take care of 5 cats. Having pets myself, I understand the anxiety one feels when leaving their furry friends for any extended amount of time and I will strive to provide the same level of care I would expect of someone caring for my own animals. I am currently a full-time student and work part-time (currently Monday-Thursday 4pm-7pm). I have full weekend availability and pretty flexible scheduling for daily check-ins/walks as well as over night sitting. My goal is to give you and your pet a low anxiety experience while you are away. I will make sure to send updates and pictures of your pets daily.
“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)!”
“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.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Naiomi. She came over twice a day for drop ins for over a week and took such great care of our dogs. She spent time playing with them, walked them, took on a last minute drop in, and even cleaned up after the dogs. She is professional, her communication was great and she took great pictures of our dogs. Highly recommend.”
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 (or cat!) 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.
“Sunny and Pebbles liked being cared for by Danielle so much that they barely recognized us when we came home. She made sure they enjoyed lots of play time and even treats. Danielle also thoughtfully looked after our plants during the heat wave. We happily recommend Danielle and look forward to seeing her again. 🐾”
“she has gone above and beyond for both of my kitties while i’ve been away. i can’t thank Constance enough for the security and well being in our absence. She is always willing to do a task for me, whether i ask for it or not. Book Constance if you’ve been searching for a great Rover!!!!”
“Anna’s help in caring for my cat was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’d never hired a pet sitter before, but she’ll be my go-to from now on. My cat is extremely social and I was concerned he’d be lonely while I was away for several weeks. Anna spent lots of time giving him attention and play. My cat also compulsively scratches himself, and with me gone he kicked it up a notch and tore through the skin. Anna had no problem giving him his pills and cleaning the wound. Additionally, she fed and kept an eye on our fish. She is an absolute saint: professional, communicative, and a lovely human to boot. Hire her!”

“Allison was the sweetest! I felt totally at ease leaving the care of my fur babies in her hands, she was super respectful of my place and kind enough to make a pre-visit meeting so we could go over things in person, especially appreciated since my travel plans were last minute. Would book again in a heartbeat.”
“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!”
“We love Kimberly as she always does a great job watching over our sweet girl. Our cat is typically timid but does so well with Kimberly. We always feel at ease knowing she is looking after her.”
“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!”
“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!”

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 July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 5,999 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:

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.
