House Sitting in Chico

Max was super responsive and sent me frequent updates on my pup, including pics! I felt confident and comfortable that she would take care of my pup and home well.

We never have to worry when our dog and home are being cared for by Anna. We couldn’t be more grateful for her. Amazing sitter and our dog adores her!

Janine is the fairy godmother for dogs!!! My dog Sophia immediately loved her and she is a great judge of character. Janine sent me several pics and messages about my girl that really put my mind at ease. Our house looked better than we left it when we returned!!! Janine is so personable and friendly that I knew it would be a perfect fit immediately after we met her. From now on we will be planning our trips to fit her availability!!!!!

I’m so grateful for Lisa! She has watched my dog Sunny twice and she does such a wonderful job He absolutely loves her and she takes such good care of him <3 it’s so nice coming home to a happy pup and a clean house!! Thank you Lisa!!

Gabby did a perfect job of watching our house and our two kitties who are less than a year old. She regularly sent pictures and updates, and asked questions when appropriate. This was the first sitter I have booked through Rover, so I was a little nervous before I met her, but I never once felt like I had to wonder how the kitties were doing while we were away. We will definitely be returning customers for our next trip.

Katherine was awesome! She took very good care of our furry baby and our home while we were gone. Will definitely hire her again!

Penny was an absolute godsend this weekend. She took marvelous care of our puppy who is recovering from a broken leg and is on several medications. Her calming effect on Kobe, experience working with many children and her training as a veterinary assistant put us at ease enough to leave him home while we took an important trip. Penny communicated quickly and clearly through out the process and it was clear she cared very much about our sweet puppy. We highly recommend Penny and are incredibly grateful to her!

It was our first time using Rover and Shay took great care of our dogs. It was nice not worry about our best friends. Look forward to having her stay again.

Naomi did a great job caring for Boggs. She took him on daily walks and communicated with me daily which always makes me feel better when I leave him.

Peggy is awesome! Lola was hesitant to meet a new person but with Peggy’s patience and love, Lola found a new human to love. Peggy was great in letting us know how it’s going, sending us pictures and making us feel comfortable all the way around. You will be lucky to have Peggy watch your pet!

Thank you again...Khloe loved your visit! Looking forward to your stay in March!

Babies were happy and well taken care of as always. Jordan sent pictures and updates regularly and managed our cat’s craziness even though he was being especially energetic this weekend!

Amethyst is wonderful! The pups really like her and while they’re normally shy they took to her right away. Both of our dogs need medication and a little special care. Amethyst did a great job and we’ve already booked her again!

Valerie did a great job house sitting with my dog! She’s older, has medication and anxiety and I felt very comfortable being gone for the weekend knowing she was taken care of. Would definitely recommend Valerie!

We hired Kim to housesit with our dog for 5 days. She was personable upon meeting, our dog seemed to like her, and we enjoyed talking to her. She took good care of our house while we were gone, but there were some communication issues. For context, when I first contacted her I made her aware of a few key things: 1) that our dog was reactive towards other dogs and he wasn't to be walked while we are gone and only to be let our in our yard, and 2) that he is used to having someone home all day because we work from home, though I specified that a few hours away was ok. We also talked about this in person at our meet n greet and Kim assured me she'd clear her schedule of other jobs and if she went out, it would be short periods for errands. The first communication issue occurred right before we left, she messaged to say she was going to come ½ hour after the scheduled time in Rover, forgetting that we had actually agreed for her to come earlier than was scheduled so that she could reacquaint herself with our dog and house. I let that slide since I hadn’t officially updated the arrival time in Rover, as it was an agreement we made via messaging. The second issue was when she messaged to ask how he is on walks — which concerned me since we had been very clear about not walking him. The third issue occurred on the last day, when I noticed per a Ring notification that she had been gone for 4 hours, so I messaged her to check in, as we were worrying not only about our dog but also if she was ok. After 5 1/2 hours away from the house, she returned and messaged me to say that she was walking other dogs and was running errands, so she apparently forgot what she agreed to in our earlier conversation. She didn't apologize but assured me that our dog seemed fine. It caused us unnecessary stress for all those hours while we were stuck on a plane not knowing if she was ok or when she was coming back. While Kim may very well take good care of dogs that don't have special needs, in our case we needed someone with more attention to detail so we could relax while traveling without worrying about our pup.

Alexa is the real deal! We are so lucky to have her watch after our somewhat high-maintenance pup. She is caring, experienced, dependable, professional, and a great communicator. She provided really good walks and attention while we were away. She comes highly recommended!
