We love Hailey! Our dog Hazel had some separation anxiety issues and she worked through them with her, plus made us feel at ease. She also gives needed medications for our pup! Hailey is so patient! ❤️

Ava did a great job taking care of our dog while we were gone. Her whole family gave our dog lots of love. I would use Ava again.

Rachelle and Nate are the best. We feel so secure leaving our two doodles with them because they are so affectionate with our “kids” and are great communicators with messages and photos during their stay. ❤️❤️

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and administering basic medications when needed. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I work full time for USPS as a mail carrier. I have two days off each week. I’m always off Sundays. Once I’m off work usually around 5/6pm I’m free! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home, free of hazards and closely supervised at all times. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine care, and I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your pet.

Becky and Joe were great! Becky kept us updated throughout Franklin’s stay and was always willing to send photos! Their house is exceptionally dog friendly with toys, a backyard, and a crate if need be. Franklin loved snuggling, spending time outside, and playing with their other two goldens!

About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.

About: New to pet sitting, but not new to pet care! I treat every animal like family, and understand the love, patience, and responsibility it takes. :) I am currently working part-time! I am available on certain days throughout the week to do visits, walks, or daycare. I even can on some weekends! I have both a fenced and unfenced yard! I also have 3 siblings (6 and older) who love, enjoy, and have fun playing with all animals too! :)

About: I have been around dogs of my own and others for my entire 38 years of life. I grew up with having at least 3 dogs at once, then when out on my own for the last 10+ years, have lived with and spoiled at least 2 dogs at a time. I currently have 2 fur kids of my own, who are very loved and spoiled. That same kind of care would translate to any dogs I care for. I'm currently working part time while studying, so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I work 3 varying days a week currently, from about 9am-5pm. A lot of time is spent at home with my own pups, and that would translate to yours. I have a good sized fenced in yard, and can provide a separate space, crating or whatever is needed between your and my dogs! I also keep the back part of my house separate.

About: Hi! My name is Lily, and I’m a college student who absolutely loves animals. I’m responsible, dependable, and will care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I’m patient with animals of all ages and personalities, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I’m definitely a busy body but not too much ;) I currently work at Carl Methodist hospital as a CNA and I also work at a bridal boutique in Lincoln, Illinois where I sell homecoming prom and wedding gowns. I am currently in college going into my sophomore year and I will have class on Thursday Friday and Saturday and that will take up at least three hours of those days. I’m very confident with my time management skills and will never take on too much. I hope you’ll consider me! I will try my best to fulfill every request needed to care for your animals and any in-home needs related to them. I take pride and what I do and do it all to the best of my ability.

About: I’m that person that will stop mid conversation & point out when I see a cute dog in public. I’ve always loved dogs and have had so much experience over the years. You can trust i’ll treat your pet like my own ❤️ I only work a couple days a week, usually the weekend and they aren’t long hours so I am available for any scheduling you can throw at me! I can usually try to make your request fit into my day somehow. I’ve done things ranging from 5 min potty breaks, multiple daily visits, & long walks. Whatever you need I can make happen. Don’t be afraid to ask 😁

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care and attention I give to every dog as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. With puppies, I focus on consistency, positive reinforcement, and helping maintain any training routines you’ve started. For senior dogs, I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to their comfort, mobility, and any medication or special care needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, fun, and loving environment where your dog feels right at home. As a teacher off for the summer, I have a very flexible and open schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Pet care naturally fits into my routine because I’m home most of the time, making it easy to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and outdoor time are a priority, and I also make sure to include downtime for rest and cuddles. Because I’m not tied to a strict work schedule right now, I can be very responsive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific routine, administering medications, or simply giving extra love and attention. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked—they’ll be part of my daily routine and cared for like family. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly space where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, which allows for safe outdoor play, exercise, and fresh air while always being supervised. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so I can keep their schedule as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication, I follow your instructions closely and treat your pet like part of my family. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I ensure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on safety at all times, and provide updates with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and owners have complete peace of mind.

Parker was great! I booked her last minute due to my puppy having a cough and she couldn’t have made my first Rover experience any better! Parker took the time to get to know poppy and her schedule to make sure that she was properly cared for. She sent updates throughout the weekend and made the whole process super stress free!

About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and I learned how to attentively take instructions when it came to the care of an animal. I have dealt with dogs and cats that have digestive issues, as well as knowing my way around taking care of (oral) medication. I am also used to dogs or cats that need daily exercise or some that are very energetic and need a lot of attention. Before moving to New Mexico, I had two dogs, and I was always keen on keeping them safe + well taken care of, but most importantly, checking that they were always happy and healthy. And I would be honored to take care of your pet in the same manner. Because I am searching for work, all of my time is dedicated to Rover at the moment. I am available every day of the week. I have a two bedroom apartment and two cats, so I cannot board any fur babies in my home unless you are absolutely sure they are okay around cats. On the other hand, I can guarantee that I will keep an eye on any pets I take care of in a client's home, as well as provide updates based on your preference!

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience taking care of my own dogs every day. I have two friendly dogs, Bailey (a Husky/Aussie mix) and Berkley (a Bernedoodle), so I’m used to dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I know every dog is different, so I’ll follow your routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or just relax and get some attention. I’m currently a part-time college student and also DoorDash for extra income, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available most weekdays starting at noon or earlier, and I can often accommodate weekend requests as well. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and care while they’re with me. I’ll always communicate with you and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have two friendly dogs, Bailey (a Husky/Australian Shepherd mix) and Berkley (a Bernedoodle), who love meeting and playing with other dogs. If your dog prefers their own space or needs a slower introduction, I’m happy to keep them separated to ensure everyone stays comfortable and safe. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family! I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special care. :)

Sarah has watched my dogs several times now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. They absolutely love going to her house, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. Every time they come home, they’re happy, relaxed, and sleep so well that night—I know they’ve had plenty of love, attention, and playtime. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable dog sitter! 🐾❤️

FAQs for Boarding - East Peoria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in East Peoria on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 102 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Peoria. About 90% of East Peoria sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
