About: I have taken care of pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experience goes far beyond standard pet sitting; I am the proud parent of a special needs, insulin-dependent fur baby. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medications, maintaining strict schedules, and monitoring vital health cues. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind—especially one with medical needs—and I promise to bring that exact same level of devotion, vigilance, and love to your home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby like, they are one of my own! I have taken care of pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experience goes far beyond standard pet sitting; I am the proud parent of a special needs, insulin-dependent fur baby. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medications, maintaining strict schedules, and monitoring vital health cues. Because I work from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, allowing me to offer unmatched attentiveness and flexible scheduling throughout the day. Being steps away at all times means I am always available to maintain strict medication timelines, monitor health cues, and provide companionship whenever it's needed. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind—especially one with medical needs—and I promise to bring that exact same level of devotion, vigilance, and love to your home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby like, they are one of my own! When caring for your pets in their own home, my absolute priority is maintaining their familiar routine, comfort, and security while ensuring they remain safely inside. Because my own fur babies are inside-only apartment pets, I am naturally vigilant about home safety, secure entryways, and preventing any accidental escapes. I focus on replicating their exact daily schedules, from precise feeding and medication times to their preferred play and rest windows. By providing dedicated, one-on-one attention in the environment where they feel most confident, I ensure they receive both the physical care and the comforting companionship they need to feel completely relaxed and happy while you are away.

About: I’ve always been a lover of animals big and small! I’ve been in the pet sitting business for the past 4 years. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel like their fur babies are in safe hands and with me they are. I am currently a substitute teacher and have a pretty open schedule. 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.
About: Hi! We’ve always been helping friends and family look after their pets. We love using Rover and prefer to keep all bookings on Rover. We can pet sit, do check ins and walk your pets. We are a couple that both can share the tasks to help take care of your furry loved ones. We personally have 2 large breed dogs. We prefer to watch pets inside your home and will not be bringing mine along. In the past we have also had a 2 cats, chickens, cows, many dogs and guinea pigs. I can check in on cages small animals. We have our own transportation to your home. As a friendly reminder to not leave your cute puppers in the car. They are wonderful parts of your life and we wouldn’t want anything sad to happen. Alice currently work most hours M-F 9-5 but sometimes can be a little later. I can do check ins and walks before and after work, or stay in your home and include them in my routine.

I do not currently offer in home pet stays at my house. Thank you!
“This was Heather and Nala's first time together and Heather did an amazing job with my girl. My girl is super shy and Heather was able to get her comfortable and go for a short walk. Thank you Heather.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have provided loving, committed homes to dogs of all temperaments as an adult — from an animal-aggressive Akita to the sweetest Golden Lab. I understand that every dog is different and deserves care that meets their unique needs. I’ve volunteered as a dog walker with the Kitsap Humane Society and have taken our most recent rescue through both beginner and advanced training classes. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, reading canine body language, and providing calm, consistent care. Friends regularly trust me with their pets while they’re away, and as a dog owner who has also used Rover myself, I truly understand how important communication, reliability, and trust are when someone is caring for your fur baby. When we’re not out enjoying nature together, I’m usually at home or the library with a good book — or planning our next travel adventure. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I currently hold a substitute position with the Kitsap Regional Library, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to prioritize pet care needs. I don’t have dependents, have a reliable vehicle, and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Any personal travel is planned well in advance, so availability is always communicated clearly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I’m tidy, mindful, and attentive to routines, instructions, and any specific care needs. I prioritize safety by following established guidelines, maintaining a calm environment, and paying close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort. Clear communication is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
About: Hello, my name Jennifer, but you can call me Jenny. I am twenty-seven years old, I currently live in Washington state and I have lived here my whole life. I love animals, especially cats and dogs. I haven't been payed to take care of animals but I grew up with animals and I have taken care of animals for friends and family members. I will give baths, play, trim nails, give medicine, clean litter boxes, brush fur and go on walks. I am able to care for multiple animals at once and I can walk multiple dogs at the same time. I don't really have anything else to say but I have to use so many words, so I have to keep typing. I hope whoever ever reading this is having a nice day and find someone who treats their animals like the amazing creatures they are. Ok, I got nothing else to say. I am currently unemployed, so my schedule is wide open. I can take care of a animal pretty much any time of the day, I will even take a dog on a walk in the middle of the night. I make sure the animal I am caring for has plenty of food and water, the animal is happy and comfortable. When leaving the home or going to sleep, I make sure the doors and windows are locked.

About: I've been around animals all my life! From as small as a mouse to as big as a horse, I love spending my time with animals. I have experience with training dogs (not certified), and love going down animal behavioral rabbit holes (pun intended). My goal is to make sure your babies are taken care and safe while you are away! I am disabled and mostly work several gigs jobs so my time is very flexible! I am willing to work with clients on their needs. I want to respect your and your pet's space and will be very mindful of where they feel comfortable. If you have crate instructions, I am comfortable doing that as well.

“Emma was great with Luke! She took him on some of his favorite walks in the short time she got to watch him. She was punctual on her visits and remembered to lock our doors after she leaves 😉. With the normal app glitches, which affected us both, aside - it was a good experience and we would seek her out again.”


“Melody and Rufus enjoyed their time with Anne. Anne took great care of them both and we will be having her take them both for walks weekly. Thank you for being so great with our dogs💕”

“Dennis was exceptional with Sadie. She has trust issues and Dennis was so good working with her. By the end of the week they were best buddies. Dennis went above and beyond with Sadie and I will definitely be using him in the future. I highly recommend Dennis for your pets as he treats them like his own.”

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines, and comfort needs. I have experience with dogs of many temperaments, including anxious, sensitive, high-energy, senior, and medically complex pets. I’m calm, observant, and very attentive to behavioral changes, body language, and routines. I know how important consistency and emotional safety are for animals, especially when their owners are away. I’m also experienced with administering medications, reinforcing routines, long walks, enrichment/play, and providing patient companionship for pets who need a slower or more thoughtful approach. Cleanliness, communication, and reliability are very important to me, and I’ll treat your pets and home with care and respect. I work part-time remotely as a psychologist, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the week. Fridays through Mondays are generally my most open days for walks, drop-ins, and daytime care. Tuesdays through Thursdays tend to be my busier workdays, so during those days I’m best suited for overnight care, house sitting where I can work remotely from your home, or boarding/day care in my home for pets who are comfortable relaxing while I work nearby. I still prioritize regular walks, enrichment, affection, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine throughout the day. I’m thoughtful about only taking bookings I can genuinely show up well for, and I value consistency, communication, and helping pets feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away. Safety, trust, and attentiveness are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I take time to learn each pet’s routines, temperament, triggers, exercise needs, and comfort level so I can provide care that feels consistent and supportive for them. In my home, pets are always supervised carefully and kept on leash outside. I prioritize safe walks, enrichment, play, companionship, and calm structure rather than simply letting dogs loose in a yard. I’m attentive to body language, behavioral changes, and environmental safety, especially for anxious, senior, or sensitive pets. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, clean, communicative, and mindful of maintaining the routines and environment pets are already comfortable with.

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.

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!

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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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.
