“Genevit took our booking on short notice. Communicated thoroughly and provided excellent care of our 125lb wirehair and home. We will definitely be reaching out to secure her services again.”
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter. She showed so much care for our dog. She was communicative and I felt so comfortable knowing she was there. When we returned from a week long trip our dog seemed so content and our house looked great! I would definitely hire Sarah again!”
About: I love animals of all kinds, and treat them like they are a family member (because they are). Our fur babies cannot speak for themselves, so it is up to us to provide them with the best care possible, so they can live happy, healthy and full lives. I have a lot experience house and pet sitting, and I take pride in my work. I am caring and compassionate, I am clean and organized, I also come with a former vet tech sister, lol. I have a dog (Eero, 12, GSD) and a cat (Trout, 19) who light up my world. I am excited to meet you and your pets! I am a full-time graduate student at Chico State. I am on campus 4 days a week, but only for a few hours at a time. I am lucky to have the schedule I do so I get to spend a great deal of time with my babies! I am organized and follow directions well. I will make sure your home and pets are well cared for and treated as I do my own babies! Your wish is my command when it comes to the care of your home and pets!
“Shanti is absolutely wonderful! If I could leave her 10 stars, I would. She is very pleasant, responsible, and she took fantastic care of our two high maintenance cats and the house. I am so happy I found her!”
About: I volunteered at Haven Humane Society in Redding for three years, where I gained a lot of experience caring for both cats and dogs. While I was there, I helped clean and sanitize their areas, walked dogs, and spent time socializing with the cats. In my personal life, I have a kitty who is my pride and joy! He does well with other animals and has definitely made my love for animals even stronger. I also had a dog who recently passed away. I had her since she was a puppy and helped train and care for her throughout her life, so I’m very familiar with the puppy world and all the patience and attention that comes with it! I’ve always loved animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets. I would treat every pet I care for like they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a student at Butte College, so my schedule gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your furry friends! I usually have classes in the mornings, so most afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to work with you and your pet’s normal routine! I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pets, so I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. For boarding, I’ll make sure your pet has a comfortable and safe space in my home, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I do have a cat of my own who does well with other animals, so I will always make sure everyone is introduced safely and is comfortable around each other. For dog walking, I’ll make sure your dog is secure on their leash and follow any instructions you have for their walks. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your pet’s normal routine, and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates while your pet is with me because I know how nice it is to know your furry friend is safe and being taken care of!
About: I’ve cared for pets for over 6 years, including dogs of all sizes, cats, and even litters of kittens. From energetic puppies who need patience and play to senior dogs who need a gentler pace, I’ve had hands-on experience with it all. What sets me apart is my attentiveness. I treat every pet as if they were my own, noticing the little things that help them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle time, or just keeping them company, I bring a calm and caring energy. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available for pet care between 8am and 8pm. Since I have pets of my own, I understand how important routine and attention are, and I’ll make sure your pets get the same care and consistency. I plan visits and walks in a way that lets me balance my own animals’ needs with giving yours my full attention. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I’ll work with you to keep your pet’s schedule steady and stress-free. I care for pets with the same attentiveness I give my own. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, safety always comes first, from keeping leashes secure to making sure food, water, and routines are followed. I’m comfortable with brushing, feeding, playtime, and walks, and I take care to notice the little details that help pets feel secure. I also respect your home and your pet’s routines, so you can trust they’ll be cared for exactly the way you prefer.
“Sophia was very responsive and attentive. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our home after meeting her just once before a last minute dog sitting need. She took great care of our dogs (and fish!) and our home. I hope she continues to offer dog sitting in owners homes as I look forward to having her care for our dogs and home again. Thank you so much Sophia!”

About: Hi! My name is Regan!! I absolutely adore animals of all shapes and sizes. I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years, and I know how important it is to keep your furry friends happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just cuddles on the couch, I treat every pet like my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and flexible to your schedule. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. From daily updates to extra belly rubs, I’m here to make both you and your pet feel at ease. I also love sending updates to pet parents, so you can feel more comfortable while you’re away :) I am a hairstylist in Chico & I also work at a restaurant as well. My schedule constantly fluctuates but I would for sure be able to feed pets in the morning & night and let them out at least a few times a day! I love all kinds of pets! I love taking my dogs on walks and throwing the ball around for them. I like to let them outside as much as possible so they can get all their energy out

The average cost of House Sitting in Esquon is $74 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $68 and $79 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Esquon walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Esquon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Esquon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
