“Elizabeth was great! We just needed a few short drop in visits and our cats were totally comfortable with her by the end of the trip! Will definitely be rebooking next time we need someone to check on our cats!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Dieulange. She really truly loves and cares for animals. She went above and beyond for our two kitties. When one of them couldn’t be found during one of her drop in visits she came back later in the day on her own time to see if she could find him. When he still couldn’t be found she spent time on the phone with me checking every possible hiding spot in the apartment. She did not give up! We are so appreciative of her compassion and patience. She is also very communicative and responds fast. She put us at ease and made it possible to enjoy our trip out of town. I look forward to booking her again!”
“Sydney was amazing with our cats while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and provide me really detailed updates which we so appreciated! She was great at communicating and made sure our house and pets were secure. Our cats warmed up to her which reassured me that she was really spending time letting them get to know her and she played with and snuggled with them a lot. 🥰 we would definitely book with her again or recommend her to someone else!”
“We really enjoyed working with Kaela, our cats loved her and she connected with them instantly. We will book her services again and will recommend her to friends and family. Thank you, Kaela!”
“She was amazing! Went above and beyond making sure my fur babies were cared for while I was gone. She is a very calm person that animals gravitate towards bc they know they can trust her. Will book her again for my next time 100%!!”
About: I’ve been in the petsitting business for 10 plus years now, and I’ve never met an animal I didn’t like! With two cats at home, and being a regular sitter for my brother with a German shepherd and friend with a Golden and a Collie mix, I’m confident I’ll get along great with your pet, whatever their shape or size. I’ve got experience at giving out medications, making sure pups do their business on walks, and I excel at giving ear scratches and belly rubs. (: As a full-time worker (8:30 am to 5:30 pm, M-F), my availability is limited to early mornings and evenings. If you’re needing someone to check in on your pup or cat in the morning and around dinnertime, I’m your gal! During those times, I’m happy to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and fed. If I’m housesitting, I will stay overnight and give lots of cuddles! (: I completely understand that it’s hard to leave your home and pet! I will always respect your boundaries within your home and make sure I leave it better than I found it. A petsitter is often also a housesitter, and I will make sure I honor your space. With cats at home, I understand how quickly messes can accumulate, and I’m fully comfortable with cleaning even the grossest of them up. (:
“Kathy did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She communicated consistently and always gave me updates on how my cat was doing. I would definitely book again!”
“We're never stressed about the cats when we travel, because we know Morgan and Jeannette will take great care of them! Plus, we always get the Rover card updates with pictures of the cats enjoying play time and attention.”
“Great experience with Amasiah! We've hired him twice to watch after my Alaskan malamute and Chihuahua. He has a great demeanor with them and they enjoy him. He's punctual and follows direction which has made travel for us stress free.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a baby I’ve been around a variety of breeds ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to Great Danes as well as cats and other small animals! I currently have seven dogs and three cats of my own that are all rescues. In 2019, I did work at a doggy daycare where I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs that were not of my own in a safe, supervised environment. I truly do love any and all animals and will treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and will do everything I can to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra playtime, I’ll provide dependable care while keeping you updated with messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special requests you have. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. One of my own puppies survived parvovirus, and under my veterinarian’s guidance, I administered prescribed medications and subcutaneous fluids at home. That experience taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and following veterinary instructions closely. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“First time having Xianna care for my 3 cats. My cats are scaredy cats so I didnt expect them to come out for her (1 did one of the visits). She ensured they were fed, watered, and had clean boxes and even cared for my strays that I feed. Her communication was excellent from pre-booking to the end of her service. She showed up on time to the drop ins which was greatly appreciated!! I hope we are able to continue using Xianna’s services. Highly recommend.”
“Kimberly and Deanna took wonderful care of my kitties! They were thorough, responsive, and took time to try to play with them (one was super shy lol). They sent great photos also. I would definitely reach out to them again for pet care in the future😊”
“Cassandra was great with our kitty Machi! He really enjoyed her company while we were away. She was very thorough and thoughtful with her updates. Would definitely recommend!”
“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”
“Leslie is so great! She fed and administered meds to our two kitties for four days while we were away on a trip. We could tell right away at our meet & greet that she is very good with animals. Even our normally shy / skittish kitty came out of the back room and went right up to Leslie to greet her. When we got home my wife commented on how good our one kitty who receives meds looked, and they both were happy and relaxed; none of the complaining ‘I’m mad because you’ve been gone!’ Meowing that we used to get upon returning. Thank you, Leslie! Highly recommended, and we definitely will be booking her again if we can!”
About: As someone who has lived in a household animated by dogs for most of her life, I have many years of experience caring for them too. Whether your dog is shy or outgoing, active or more leisurely, puppy or adult or elderly - I'm confident I can provide safe, fun and affectionate experience for them while you're away. I'm happy to walk your dog and/or just visit with them at your home. I can bathe your dog, administer medications if needed, and send text/photo updates about my visit with your pet upon request as well. *Because i work full-time and only take Rover bookings on a part-time basis, I'm available during very early am (5-630am) or late afternoon (3-6pm) hours only. My own dog is an indoor dog and very much part of the family. We take special care with his diet and give him the daily walks/exercise he needs - I'll show the same care, concern and affection with your pup too!

Aimee is the best sitter you can ask for!! She went above and beyond for our kitties. She has so much experience and background knowledge about cats and animals in general. She was so loving to my kitties as if they were her own! She truly impressed me with being so thoughtful and considerate of the kitties and their environment to make sure they’re safe. She gave the cutest photos and updated with a sweet message about what happened at each visit. I cannot recommend her more!! Thank you!!
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.
Sydney was so wonderful, I would book her again in a heart beat! The cats loved her right away, they warmed up to her much faster than other sitters we have had. Sydney sent incredibly detailed updates and look such great care of our cats. I also swear our home was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left. Thanks for everything you did and for giving us so much peace of mind while we were traveling Sydney!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Peoria on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,937 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Peoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Peoria. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
