“Kaylie was great! Very prompt communication, friendly, and more than capable of navigating the more particular care and observation some of our kiddos require. Everyone was happy and well-cared for while Kaylie watched them for the week.”
“Meilana was so wonderful with our puppies and she clearly enjoys taking care of dogs very much. She was able to do a last minute check in with them and even made time to come over beforehand so she could meet them while we were here to introduce her. Definitely recommend!”
“We came home to a very happy and healthy dog! Gradee was so great and communicative. Our dog, Ellie, is very shy and Gradee was very patient with her and earned her trust. We def would love to book her again!”
“Cara was fantastic! She was really thorough in taking good care of my kitty girl and kept me updated with pictures the whole time I was gone. I really appreciated her and would recommend 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!”
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.
“Hannah is really good with my kitty. My kitty is wary of strangers and warmed up to Hannah quickly. My kitty was very calm and happy when I got home. Hannah is a great kitty sitter!”
“Katherine did an exceptional job taking care of my two cats. One takes medication and can be fussy, she was able to get her to take her meds. When there were questions, the communication was prompt. Thanks again!”
About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and I would love to be able to care for and get to know yours! I am a SAHM, so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your dog. They are sure to get lots of love and attention here. I have a 6 year old maltipoo to keep your dog company, as well as three kids who love and are great with dogs. Our partially fenced backyard is big and makes a great area for lots of exercise.
About: I have a flexible schedule that can work around your needs. I have experience with several different dog breeds and have experience with puppies and senior dogs.

Will support crate or free sleepers depending on your preference and the dogs needs.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats and other animals for the better part of my life, I am very attentive when it comes to my animals as well as others while in my care. I enjoy playing fetch with dogs to get out that energy out of them, giving pets and cuddles to cats that may feel lonely, and generally taking care of their well-being! I’m currently a part time manager and do this because I love animals and extra income is a plus! I can do house sitting so I’m there as soon as I’m off work or I can do drop ins and we can make a schedule work I can crate within your home as necessary and monitor their outside time if fenced-in, and on a leash if not! Will also supervise indoor activities to make sure nobody gets where they shouldn’t be
About: I have had and cared for many animals since I was very young. I have also pet sit, walked and cared for many of my friends and neighbors animals. I love animals and I would love to get to know yours :) I currently have an open schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pet! I can give plenty of walks, enrichment, and playtime!

Wherever I’m caring for a pet, I’m happy to follow any care instructions and give pets the care they need.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs because my mom bred and boarded champion Cocker Spaniels. From a young age, I helped walk, bathe, groom, feed, and care for them, which gave me a genuine love for animals. As an adult, I had a Black Lab who was my best friend for many years. After he passed away a couple of years ago, I realized how much I missed having pets in my life. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet with the same patience, affection, and attention I’d give my own. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours that way too. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and spending time with animals, so making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need is something I genuinely look forward to. I am off Sunday-Tuesday and have availability then. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your routine closely, making sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’ll also keep your home clean and secure, respect your pet’s unique personality and needs, and send updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chico
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!
I've selected Kaylie multiple times, and I will continue to select her to place my pet in her care. She is excellent, and always shows enthusiasm at giving him care. Her updates are a joy to read. When Kaylie is in my home caring for my dog, I always rest assured. 10/10 will use her again.
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 of Pet Sitting in Chico is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 11,285 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chico. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chico. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
