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.
“Valarie did a great job walking our two dogs. When we had short notice that we needed coverage for our dogs while heading out of town, Valarie was quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. She agreed to take care of our girls and came as requested. She was communicative during each walk and sent great pictures. We hope she'll agree to more walks in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Regan, a dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family. I have four years of experience caring for dogs and cats and I enjoy learning each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to provide the care your pet needs while keeping you updated with messages and photos along the way. I currently work in an corporate weekday environment and best suited for a client with a pet who can be left alone throughout the day. On the weekends, I can spoil your pet with all day snuggles and walks! I keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine and stick closely to feeding schedules, walks, and any special care instructions. I do not take pets to dog parks unless specifically asked to. My goal is to spend quality time with them so they feel safe and loved while you’re away, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Kaylie went above and beyond to take care of Henry during the July 4th weekend! Henry was scared and wouldn’t come out to eat or pee, so Kaylie came back over later when it was calmer, to make sure he was Ok.”
“Allison has been an excellent dog walker for me and Rhuby. She has been walking Rhuby for about a month and has never missed a day. She is very communicative and has been available whenever I've needed her.”
“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! ❤️”
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
“Love Mary Elizabeth’s quick responses, flexibility and updates on our pup! She takes the time to give him extra belly rubs and send pics too! Greatly appreciated as a first time Rover user!”
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.
About: I love dogs! I'm happy to reinforce any training as needed. I also love to take dogs on local adventures and walks in the surrounding areas. I'm currently a grad student and will be needing to make some extra money starting next month. I will be on a semi flexible schedule allowing for pet sitting and house sitting. I'm trustworthy and will follow through on any needs expressed. I appreciate clear and direct communication. If a specific request is unclear, I will ask.
About: Hello! My name is Tanya and I'd love to give you that peace of mind that comes with knowing your fur-baby is getting the love and attention they deserve, even when you can't be there. I have had a large variety of pets my entire life and am extremely comfortable with all aspects of caring for your dog. In the past I have worked as a grooming assistant and shop manager where I worked with every breed and age of dog imaginable. I also went to school to be a veterinary technician before getting married. In our home we have 2 children, (1 large and 1 small) 1 dog and a cat. We often have visiting doggies whose parents are out of town in our home, and love to give them a comfortable place for their own staycation. Our dog will even share from his overflowing toy and treat boxes. I hope to work with you and play with your dog soon! Caring for my kids and a multitude of animals is my job every day, and I feel uniquely suited to do so. Our home is extremely doggie friendly and my time is happily spent enjoying their company. Visiting dog friends are able to go outside to the fully fenced backyard any time they want, where assorted toys, pools (in hot weather) and smells await! The yard is accessible from the designated dog area of the house where toys are stored, beds are plentiful, and meals are enjoyed. Fresh water is provided at all times unless specified otherwise. All doggie guests are welcome in other parts of the house with supervision if they are comfortable, and welcome in human beds if desired (overnights).
“Kaitlyn is amazing! She is incredibly attentive to my dog and always keeps me updated with thoughtful, detailed communication after their walks. It’s clear that she genuinely cares, and I always felt confident that my dog was in great hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet.”
“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!”

I adapt to your preference for the care of your pet, I have a nearby area to take him for a walk and play. At the moment I don't have my own pet but I will take care of yours as my own.
About: I take care of our three dog, i make sure they have water and they are walked and they are clean, i also watched a puppy for a friend for a week and a half I love hanging out with any animal, they are so cute and cuddly, i couldn't imagine my life without any animals, they are a part of me I like to watch at the clients home, but if they need the dog out for the day i can take them to a dog park or if they don't get along with other dogs we can go to a park somewhere away
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.
About: Hi! I moved to Silverdale about a year ago. I grew up with cats, dogs, and horses. Dogs hold a special place in my heart. Cats are all unique. Makes them puuurfect. I work from home so am available anytime. I would like to meet your animal(s) prior to taking care of them so I can learn their quirks! I've only been officially pet sitting for 8 years, while prior I just owned my own. I am available all day. You just let me know when their feeding times are and I'll make it happen so they can have as much of their routine as possible. I'm also available all day for walks. Even early morning walks or evening walks. I will treat your animal as if it's my own. I have two dogs right now. A puppy and a 6 year old floof ball, there are pictures of them in my profile. My husky and puppy are high energy, so that doesn't bother me with animals. Let me know what you need or if there are any special instructions or toys they like!

Sophia is wonderful! Whittaker loves walking with her. She’s timely in her communication and follows our instructions. Even when we had to change plans for a schedule change and instructions later due to Whittaker having an injury she was flexible and willing to accommodate.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Chico on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,028 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Chico. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Chico.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chico. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
