About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. From cats and dogs to ferrets and even chickens. I treat all animals with the same respect and responsibility and love. I also have experience taking care of others pets while they are out of town, from checking in every few hours to staying a whole week in their home with their little loved one. I am currently unemployed due to working through PTSD. I have complete availability from every day of the week to any hours. Holidays would not affect my availability. I can crate dogs. Give cats space. And focus on just simply doing my job if they don't want interaction. I can also bring a partner if you are concerned of your pet being too big for one person to care for. I can also bring my 20 pound friendly pup if yours would like a buddy during visits.
About: I have grown up around all types of animals. It is my passion to care for them and make sure they feel loved. I go the extra mile to make sure everything is good! :) I am currently unemployed, so I have a lot of time to care for pets. Of course not 24/7 because I need to love and care for my Marty! But, my availability is pretty open. I don’t currently allow other pets to come into my home, but I am able to stop by your home, if needed to check on/feed the pets.
About: I have always been the “go to” for all my family, neighbors, and friends when they are in need of someone to be lovingly attentive, patient, and dependable to their pet’s needs. I have many years of experience with rescue, senior, puppies and special needs dogs. I volunteer at a local dog/cat shelter and a farm animal sanctuary in my spare time. It is an absolute joy meeting new animals and getting to know their individual personalities. I have a safe and dependable vehicle for car rides as needed. My love of all animals makes this work deeply fulfilling and so much fun for me. I understand how difficult it can be to have someone else care for your pets when you have to be away. Keeping them happy, engaged and safe is what I’m best at! I am available most days to hang out and play with your pets. Lots of one on one time 😊 Playing outside, whether it be walking or hitting my local dog park, is one of my favorite things to do. With this summer heat, there will also be plenty of indoor play and mind engaging activities to enjoy as well. Snuggles and belly rubs are always on the table! I am a full time online student with plenty of time and attention to give your furry family members! I am an early riser and love a good walk or short hike to start the day off. I love being out in nature so any excuse to get out there is happily accepted! My only desire is to leave you and your pet fully satisfied with the time we spend together! That means any amount of time and attention they may need is what I’m happily available to offer. My “happy place” is with animals of all kinds so this really is just about making new furry friends for me and having some fun along the way 😊
“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!”
“Michelle was great with our pups! Responded last minute to our request for a drop in visit during a family emergency and she was great. Sent nice photos and pups seemed to like her. Will definitely use her services again! Thanks Michelle!”
“Emily is THE BEST. I had a stress-free vacation in terms of worrying about my dogs back at home. She understood our pups' needs and personalities and took such great care of them. She kept us updated on everything, sent reassuring pics, managed our packages/deliveries coming to the house while we were gone. I think she even did the dishes I accidentally left in the sink! Just above and beyond. I will absolutely be contacting her again if we take another trip. So happy we chose her as our dog sitter!”
“I am so glad I found Holly. She is excellent! My dog Simon loves her. She is reliable and responds very quickly. She takes her time with Simon walking him, giving him time outside and spending time loving on him. Her notes of the visit are detailed. FShe gives him alot of love. I highly recommend her !”
About: I have had dogs all my life, I have experience caring for and walking them. I use my dogs to help house break new puppies, I'm experienced with large dogs after having quit a fee myself, including a Bullmastiff. I just left my full time job, so I will be home all the time, doing pet sitting is something I always wanted to do. I have an 8 foot cinder block wall going around my large backyard, I have a pool, I am always in the yard with my new dogs.
“Alex was great with my kitties…I felt so comfortable to leave them for a week while on vacation. I got consistent pictures & updates, felt that my cats were taken care of, and will definitely be reaching out again when I need someone to kittysit :)”
“Katie went above and beyond very last minute. My pets were happy and well taken care of and happy when I got home. Would 100% recommend her and definitely would hire her again for my next trip.”
“Kalin is AMAZE!! I booked with her for drop-in visits for 2 small, very reactive dogs who are terrified of new people in their home — I’m normally very stressed leaving them with anyone for this reason but Kalin put my mind at ease. She is calm and patient with them and obviously cares a lot about animals — she left incredibly detailed cards and lots of pictures to update me. She noticed behavioral things about my doggies that I thought only I noticed about them, she administered cough medicine when needed, she checked on my other animals and just made sure everything was taken care of before leaving my home. I was able to really relax knowing that Kalin would do such a good job and by the second day, she had earned my dogs’ trust and they approached her to her to pet them and sat on her lap. I would 100% recommend Kalin and book with her again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies — and caring for them comes as naturally to me as breathing. Our home was always full of furry (and sometimes feathered!) friends, and that love has only grown over the years. When you trust me with your pet, you’re not just hiring a sitter — you’re choosing someone who will treat them like family. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company, your pet will be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away — your fur baby will be in warm, caring hands! 🔆😊 I work from home full-time, which means I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether they need extra playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll be there to accommodate their needs. Just let me know when you need me — I’m ready to help! I live in an apartment with my husband, our 2-year-old boy, and our dog who loves the company of other fur buddies! We have a dog park right inside our complex, perfect for safe, fun playtime and daily walks. It’s a calm, loving environment where your pet will feel right at home.

Peoria dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover, although I have several friends who have used it and had great experiences. I truly struck gold with Audra! From the very beginning, she was communicative and responsive throughout the booking process, which immediately put me at ease. My dog, Duke, is an anxious boy, but Audra’s calm, patient, and sweet demeanor won him over right away. Seeing how comfortable he was with her gave me complete confidence that he would be well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Audra to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their fur baby. I will definitely be booking with her again in the very near future!
Alyssa is awesome with my rescue girl, Twinkle! Twink is anxious and cautious around new people, but Alyssa quickly won her over, and she loves her afternoon walkies with her new friend. Alyssa is dependable and very responsive to messages and texts. When Twink is with Alyssa, I know that she is being well taken care of and having fun. 10/10 recommend Alyssa!
Overall, an amazing person very dry great communication went above and beyond my dogs were happy when I came home and I can see through the camera that I have at my house that she exercised the dogs by taking them to the park played with them and gave them great care
Kathy is wonderful and all my pets love her! She was very reliable, easy to book with, very kind, and reminded me of a loving family member stopping by instead of a stranger I found on an app. I would absolutely book with her again in the future! You can truly tell the love she has for animals, it shows in both her personality and in the interactions she has with your pets.
David! Thank you so much for all your help on taking care of my pets. David helped me at a very short notice, twice, back to back days. He was very respectful, kind, and followed all instructions. He was very sweet with my pets and sent me updates throughout the day. I’ll definitely be booking again
They are absolutely amazing, my dog loved his visits with them. They were happy to follow any small requests that were given and gave him so much love. He was always really happy in the days they stopped by, i couldn’t have asked for a better people to help me with my dog!
