“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 !”
“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!”
“Tiffany was a great dog sitter! She was punctual, communicative and took great care of my senior dog. The house was in perfect condition when I came back home. I would recommend her and welcome her back anytime!”
“Savannah was wonderful. We had an extraordinary circumstance needing help in our home with our dog in recovery from Valley fever in his brain. Savannah made herself available to us to help with him even though we were still home. She came and helped with feeding, medication and potty breaks. She even made sure we had chances to take care of ourselves.”
“I was worried about using Rover for the first time and having a stranger in my house while I was not there but Emily was everything I could have hoped for! She was very nice, quick to respond, on time, sent me pictures on every visit, and went above and beyond. 10 out of 10 stars for Emily. Thank you Emily for your professionalism and taking care of Ivy!”
“Kimberly and Deanna were fantastic! They took wonderful care of our cat, Greg, playing with him, interacting, and talking to him just like we do. They kept us well updated with photos and videos throughout, which gave us total peace of mind. They truly went above and beyond in providing loving, attentive care for our fur baby. We couldn’t recommend them more highly; thank you both so much!”
“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: Hello! I am a full-time pet sitter with a deep passion for, and extensive experience in, caring for senior dogs. Because I work from home, I can provide 24/7 supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a quiet, stress-free environment for older dogs. I have years of experience managing mobility issues, administering oral medications and supplements, and following strict vet routines. Whether your older dog needs slow, gentle walks or just a cozy lap to cuddle on, I am dedicated to giving them the golden-years TLC they deserve. Working from home allows me to seamlessly integrate my pet's care into my day by using my remote breaks for walks and feeding, ensuring my work and pet duties are perfectly balanced. I care for pets by strictly following your established routines for feedings, walks, playtime, and medications to ensure they remain safe, happy, and stress-free in their own environment.
“Patricia was truly amazing, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care. She took extra time to help my dog warm up and feel safe, which meant everything to me. My pup was extremely difficult at first, but Patricia was so patient, gentle, and kind- never rushed, never discouraged. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on long walks, giving medication exactly as requested, and even working with her on training (she helped her learn to lay down!). The constant photo updates were so reassuring and showed just how much love and attention she was giving. It’s clear Patricia genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such thoughtful, capable hands. Thank you so much, Patricia — you’re incredible, and I would trust you again in a heartbeat!”
“Kalin is a FABULOUS Rover! She went out of her way to accommodate our changing schedule and took great care of our Petite Golden Doodle, Oakley. I highly, highly recommend her!! She’s responsible, very kind & friendly, prompt and so good dogs!!!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from small pups to large breeds. I've also cared for dogs with special needs that required extra attention, patience, and individualized care. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. Whether that means plenty of playtime and walks, a little extra patience, or simply lots of attention and affection, I'll treat your dog like they're part of the family. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love while you're away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and of course lots of attention and affection. When a dog is in my care, I’m happy to adjust my routine around what they’re used to at home. Whether they need early morning walks, scheduled meals, extra potty breaks, medication, or just someone around to keep them company, I want to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I also enjoy staying active, so having a four-legged companion along for walks is always a plus! 🐾 Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special care your pet may need. I know some dogs adjust to new people and places right away, while others need a little extra time and patience. I’m happy to let your dog settle in at their own pace and give them the attention, playtime, exercise, or quiet time that fits their personality. Safety is always a priority, and I’ll keep a close eye on your pet while they’re in my care. I also know how reassuring it is to hear that your pet is doing well while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay. 🐾
“Issy is professional and trustworthy. She took great care of my dogs while I was away, and I felt I could relax, even knowing my pups are as crazy as it gets. Thank you Issy!”
“Mackenzie is an absolute professional and animal lover with a heart of gold! One-of-a-kind sitting experience. She dropped-in on my two cats during a two week span while we were out of town and the care they recieved was amazing. She follows instructions well and went above and beyond to entertain and look after our babes. Not to mention, she sends the best pics and updates!!! We didn’t have to worry for a single moment that they were happy and cared for. French Fry and Woodstock love their new bff Makenzie!!!”
“Smokey and Smooch were sad we were gone, but they were happy to see Jeannette and Morgan each day! They took great care of our beloved pets and we were so glad we found them! Jeannette sent pictures at every visit and gave us an update, so we knew our animals were in good hands! Thank you Jeannette and Morgan for a great experience!”

“Alex has been our go-to sitter for our kitties and we truly couldn’t ask for anyone better. Her daily photos and updates reassure us that our kitties are doing well at home while we are away and that peace of mind is everything. If you are looking for someone to ensure your kitties are well cared for while you are away from home, Alex is your person. Thank you for everything Alex.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Peoria
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!
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

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Peoria stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Peoria 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!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Peoria with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
