“Maddison was excellent!! She had wonderful communication and I felt like my boy, Ben, was in great hands! She updated me regularly and sent the sweetest pics. I will definitely use Maddison in the future! 😊”
“She took great care of my 2 cats, they are very energetic and she would play with them until they were tuckered out every day I was gone, I’d recommend Kat to anyone that needs their pets taken care of. Also the daily updates with pictures were cute”
About: 😊 I love animals and will treat them just like my critters 🥰 with love and patience. I may spoil with love and pets, I will not give treats without permission 😊 I'm willing to work part-time, can do more than 3 visits but will need notice, can arrange schedule, and I am able to check on them more often during weekends. I would prefer not to house animals in my home due to having pets myself who are skiddish and a 8 month child. I will however be able to do more visits daily if needed.
“Andrej and Sabina were absolutely amazing to our Nori🐈⬛!! They both kept us at ease during our entire trip. We were updated each and every morning (almost the exact same time) on how our Nori was eating, acting and adjusting to his new surroundings.. We would 100% recommend and have them care for your Nori whenever we are out of town or state. Thank you again, Andrej & Sabina!”
“Kalin is a fantastic pet sitter! She took great care of my cat and provided nice updates and communication with me about my pet every visit. I would recommend her services and use her again in the future!”
“Amber was amazing! She took care of my cat and did everything she could to make sure he was taken care of and loved. She also kept us updated on our trip which was a huge relief because we always miss our fur babies when we’re out of town. Definitely will rebook her for future trips. :)”
About: Hi! My name is Tiffany and I am an experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of experience. I am currently taking in new clients and expanding my business =) I am a stay at home mom and currently studying for my paralegal certificate. I am home all day except for the occasional errand =) I have a fenced in yard with a dedicated area inside and outside for my pups! Covered patio, access to a doggie door, turf and plenty of toys! I do require my pups to be crated at night for safety =)
“Tiffany was a wonderful sitter to our two cats, Sushi and Junior, while we were away. She provided detailed updates, clear communication, and lots of pics of our little guys. She went above and beyond and offered to take our mail in when we weren't home. The boys enjoyed her company and playtime whenever she dropped-in. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter in West PHX/Glendale!”
About: I am always taking care of friends cats, neighbors cats, my own cats, and my colony cats. Cats are LIFE! They are just pure joy - sometimes little turds- but that is why I am obsessed with them!! I work full time at an Electrical Engineering office. I can do pop ins after work on Monday - Thursdays after 5pm. I can do pop ins on Fridays after 3pm Available for pop ins any time on Saturday & Sundays! I can feed, clean litter boxes, fill water bowls, give meds, spend a little QT with all the cats! And make sure everything is safe and secure when arriving and leaving to ensure no animals gets out.
About: I've always had a natural connection with animals, and they seem to know pretty quickly that I'm an animal person. Even pets who are a little shy or unsure often warm up to me quickly—and honestly, earning an animal's trust is one of my favorite things. I've shared my life with dogs, cats, horses, goats and chickens and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs. I'm comfortable with positive-reinforcement training and reading body-language cues that can tell you when an animal is happy, anxious, uncomfortable or just needs a little space. My own animals have established care at home, so when I'm house sitting, your pets and their routine have my full attention. I work primarily remotely and make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with them. And you're trusting me with more than your pets—you're trusting me with your home. As a licensed real estate professional for nearly a decade, I'm accustomed to that responsibility. I'm familiar with basic household systems and emergency shutoffs and know how to calmly handle the unexpected. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without worrying about what's happening back home. Your pets get lots of love, their familiar routine, and someone who will genuinely enjoy spending time with them—and you get peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Since most of my work is done remotely and I make my own schedule I'm available most days for drop ins, as may be needed. I have been trusted with homes and pets alike. I follow detailed instructions, keep routines consistent, and treat every animal with love, safety, and respect.
About: About Me 😸 Hi, I'm Maggie! I bring extensive, professional hands-on veterinary industry (including ER) experience to every pet I care for. For me, pet sitting isn't a hobby—it is a commitment to providing the absolute highest standard of safety, comfort, and specialized care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walking partner or your senior cat requires a gentle, patient companion, I tailor my routine entirely to your pet's unique personality and medical needs. Why Choose Me? • Advanced Medical Knowledge: With my veterinary background, I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, topical treatments, and injections. I can expertly read animal body language to spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or medical changes before they become issues. • Special Needs & Senior Care Experts: I welcome senior pets, puppies, and animals recovering from surgery or managing chronic illnesses. I know exactly how to maintain strict care schedules. • Safety First, Always: My industry experience means I treat emergency preparedness as a top priority. You will receive regular, detailed updates and photo check-ins so you can enjoy your time away with 100% peace of mind. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet! Because pet care is my primary focus, your pet will never be left alone for long periods. • Boarding / House Sitting: I maintain a consistent, predictable routine. Pets are never left unattended for more than 2 to 4 hours at a time, ensuring plenty of potty breaks, mental stimulation, and companionship. • Drop-Ins / Walks: I offer flexible scheduling windows throughout the day. I arrive promptly within our agreed-upon time frame so your pet's feeding and medication schedule remains perfectly on track. Safety and respect for your property are my absolute highest priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care and maintain strict safety protocols to ensure your pets remain secure and comfortable in their own familiar environment: • Home Security & Vigilance: I strictly follow your locking preferences, arm security alarms precisely as instructed, and ensure all windows and gates are securely closed before leaving or going to sleep. I keep a low profile to ensure your home looks occupied and secure. • Escaping Prevention: I am incredibly vigilant about "door-darting." I use careful entry and exit barriers to ensure pets never have the opportunity to slip outside accidentally. During walks, dogs are always kept on secure, reliable leashes—never off-leash in unsecured areas. • Health & Behavioral Monitoring: I perform daily, subtle health checks (monitoring appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits). Because of my professional background, I can spot the earliest signs of stress, bloat, or discomfort and act immediately. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep the contact information for your primary veterinarian and the nearest 24/7 emergency pet hospital easily accessible. If an unexpected home issue arises (like a leak or power outage), I will handle it calmly and contact you immediately.
About: I’ve helped with animals since I was a kid. I have helped my mom run her own dog watching business that she did for 6 years. I have also taken care of a tortoise and some cats. I love all animals and will treat them like my family. I work full time so I can check in on the babies after work and can fully give them my attention on the weekend. If the animal stays in my home, they will get my attention before and after work, making sure they are well taken care of and loved. I live in an apartment but have a patio area they can go out onto. I will walk them outside for potty breaks. I have a 6 year old who loves animals and will enjoy keeping them company. I have a crate and can crate them if needed.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have hands on experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level. I enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets, overnight pet sitting works great and I will have plenty of time to care for the pets regardless of schedule. I take your pet’s safety and your instructions seriously. I make sure to follow your care instructions and household rules exactly as requested. For indoor cats, I’m especially careful when entering and leaving the home to make sure they don’t slip out. I’ll also follow any feeding, playtime, litter box, medication, and routine instructions you provide. For dogs, I follow your specific walking and care instructions and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need.
About: I work at an animal shelter and advocate for the care of my animals. I am also currently going to school for veterinary medicine and have also taken care of family and friends pets when needed! I am working full time at a shelter/vet hospital so I am mainly available on Tuesdays all-day and Wednesdays before 5pm! I can also drop in on weekdays after 4pm if needed as well. I have a love for animals and have professional experience so handling your pets will be no issue! I make sure my animals have a lot of playtime as well as enough socialization to get them through the day.
“I’m always nervous to leave on vacation because of a bad past with a pet sitter. Stephanie put my mind at ease quickly. She was attentive to what I asked for feeding my animals. My cats are used to a certain way of feeding and Stephanie followed the instructions perfectly. She rinsed the water bowls and kept the litter boxes very clean. I will rebook Stephanie again on my next vacation.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Peoria
Elizabeth did a fantastic job watching our three kitties while we were away. We were concerned about one of kitties due to a recent illness she had, and Elizabeth put our minds at ease assuring us that she would keep an eye on her. She sent us pictures every day. We would highly recommend Elizabeth as a sitter for your fur babies. We most definitely plan to contact her the next time we go out of town.
Kat was awesome! She came over for a meet and greet, followed all of my animals’ needs, took the cutest pictures, and communicated great through the whole process for a drop-in visit! 100 percent rebooking if we need her again! (Side-note, she didn’t let my dog’s jumping stop her from coming over and providing care, which is a plus!!)
Holly was absolutely amazing! We were really nervous about leaving our fur babies, but she quickly put us at ease. She showed up exactly when she said she would and followed every single direction given. She loved on our babies and sent lots of pictures and kept us up to date. We will definitely book with her every time we have to go out of town!
I have used Xianna several times in the past and I always know that Zoe will be well taken care of. She always sends details of each visit and pictures so I know exactly what's going on when I'm gone and Zoe looks forward to seeing her as well. I know I can trust Xianna to take care of Zoe as if she was her own and will not hesitate to use her in the future.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Peoria is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
