“While I was out if state, Cassie took my dog on walks, three times a week, for several weeks. She was very good at communicating and caring for my dog. She was concerned about roaming dogs in my neighborhood, so drove him to another safe neighborhood. I really appreciated the time and care!”
“Another great visit/walk by Kaylie! I had to request this service on short notice and she quickly accepted and was able to take care of my dog. She is prompt and always sends me updates on the visit. My dog enjoys the walks, and I trust her!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and treat every pet as if they were my family. As a dog owner and a person with anxiety, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby. I’m fully committed to making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, so patience, attentiveness, and communication are all qualities of mine. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I’m more than happy to accommodate medication schedules, special feeding routines, puppy care, and senior pet care. As a military spouse, I 100% understand that plans can change and am very flexible. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates with plenty of photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! I am now home full-time with my son who is 3 months old. Therefore, I have pretty open availability to provide loving and reliable care for your fur babies. I live in a military community that is dog friendly and I also have a mini labradoodle who can keep your dog company! He absolutely loves new friends!
About: **I do have base access!** I grew up with cats, dogs, hermit crabs, and even mice. 🐭 I work part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility. Know that I have a cat of my own, Bo (8 years), but he does great with other pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and lots of time to care for your furry baby! I’m able to provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins throughout the day, so your pet won’t be left feeling lonely while you’re away. I live in a spacious three-bedroom apartment with plenty of safe space for your kitty to explore and get comfortable. For new visitors, I reserve my laundry room/guest bathroom as their own quiet space so they can decompress and adjust to their new environment at their own pace. Once they’re comfortable, there’s a long hallway that’s perfect for zoomies and plenty of room to explore! I also have a third-floor balcony that my own cat absolutely loves. He spends hours watching the hummingbirds fly up to visit him. 🐦 Any visiting kitties will always be closely supervised if they spend time on the balcony with me. I know every cat adjusts differently, so I’m happy to give them as much space, attention, or company as they need to feel safe and at home. 🐱
“Gina was absolutely wonderful! She is kind, professional, and very communicative throughout the entire visit. She takes initiative without needing to be asked, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. We highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Constance is such a blessing for my dog and I. She is very reliable and always shows the same care and affection to Poppy as if she were her own. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Lisa saved us and Oakley because I had to be gone much longer than planned. She knows the drill with Oakley and he seems to feel very comfortable with her. She's a keeper for sure!”
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was a teenager. I love all animals. I find spending time with them relaxing. I personally have one dog. We love hiking and adventuring together. I enjoy cats too. I love their dependence but also they have such strong personalities. I know how hard it is to know your pet is home alone and I’d love to give your fur friend a visit or let them exercise while you are out and about. I love walking and it is even more fun with a four legged friend. I have experience with fish as well as rabbits and hamsters. I look forward to meeting your pets and spending time with them. I am really looking forward to the adventure ahead.

“We have utilized Clarissa's services (both walks and drop ins) several times now. We foster dogs and have a dog of our own, so she doesn't always know what she is getting into. Both our resident dog and the two fosters pups we've had have seemed to enjoy the midday visits and are always very happy. Her communication is on-point and she is both professional and very down-to-earth.”

Some days I do work 7 hours but when I’m free your pets are my priority. I always respect the clients rules and how they take care of their pets and home. I’m comfortable in most houses and with all animals.
“We LOVE Amanda and so do our dogs (older Border Collie and young Australian Shepherd)! She is very dependable and trustworthy and is very skilled with dogs.

I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages and will reinforce any behavior training you and your dog are working on. I’m organized, caring and very responsible. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am a travel PT with a love for animals but move around too much for work to have my own pets t the moment. I work outside of the home so I can accommodate morning and evening walks/potty breaks and evening cuddles! I prefer to care for your pets in your own home (house sitting and drop-ins, not boarding or day-care), as the environment is familiar and it makes everything less stressful for them. I ask for detailed instructions on any routines and schedules your dog is used to and any behaviors you want me to reinforce to make the transition as smooth as possible for your pet.
About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and have hands-on experience training and caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments.

My background with dogs big and small allows me to adapt to each pet's unique routine and help them feel comfortable and well cared! My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets lots of attention, love, playtime, and exercise. I'm committed to making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way! My number one priority is making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their own home. I understand that every pet adjusts at their own pace, so I give them the time and space they need to build trust and feel at ease. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or quiet companionship. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while helping them feel safe, relaxed, and happy in their familiar environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chico
Naomi took excellent care of our very energetic Goldendoodle during daily drop-in walks! She was very thorough in learning about our dog’s care requirements and preferences. She was also very good with our cat and made sure to check in on him when she dropped in to walk our dog.
Hilary has been great. My dog Freckles is usually very wary of new people, and it can usually take one or two meetings for her to get comfortable with someone new. This time she took to Hilary almost right away. Freckles gets very excited when Hilary comes to walk her, and I'm grateful that it is working so well.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Chico. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
