“Jasmine is amazing! Just book her you will not be sorry. She is thoughtful about communication and was so detailed in her note taking about how to care for our dog and house. She sent plenty of updates and photos too while we were away. I would not hesitate to book her again or recommend to a friend.”
“Kaylinn was great with our 4 dogs and cat and took special care with our senior pup. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!! Loved all the photos and updates while we were away- pets loved her.”
About: I had a dog for ten years and pet sit for many of my family members for days at a time. I have pet sit dogs anywhere from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently a senior in high school so on weekdays I am not available until after 5pm. On weekends I am mostly free at any time. I don’t have any other pets at home as of recently but I did have a dog for ten years so I am very familiar with how to take care of pets! I have a small yard where I can put a fence up easily. I also am able to take your dogs on walks frequently.
About: I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are happy and are stress free while away from their owners. I have 3 dogs, 1 is a 9 week old puppy my family has just adopted. I have to constantly watch my puppy, named Walter. Sometimes I’ll have to stay with him and watch him for a few hours. He has severe anxiety so we have to constantly be with him and make sure he’s ok. I play with them, I pet them, I hold them, I fill up their dog food and water, constant potty breaks to prevent any accidents.
“Brandon & Courtney are great!!! They are super nice and took great care of our dog. I got tons of updates and pictures every day. They also took mail inside and made sure she took her daily medicine. Barley was very calm and happy when we returned - I know she had a great time with Brandon and Courtney!”
About: I have been a pet sitter for friends and family for over 10 years. I am also a proud pet mom of Bailey (chocolate lab, age 8), Ellie (weimaraner, age 4), and Cat (kitty, age 10). I have experience caring for small and large animals of all ages! 🙂 I currently have a 9 am to 5 pm full time job which allows me to work from home as much or as little as I would like. I am available outside of those hours and can be flexible with my schedule to be available any week day in Peoria, IL area and any day in Canton, IL. I would prefer to care for your animal in your home as that's where I believe your animal would be most comfortable. I am also comfortable walking your pets on leashes as requested.
“Heather House sat for us for 7 nights. She did an excellent job and I highly recommend her. During the week my daughter needed a dog sitter and Heather welcomed her to join our pup. We also had a flight delay and heather immediately offered to stay an additional night. Our house is always spotless when we come home and our dog is so content that I know she appreciated Heather being at our home all week. Thank you Heather!!”

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 Covell 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 Covell 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Covell 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!

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 .

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.
