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!
“Maryann does an amazing job! She is punctual and accommodating to my schedule. I love that she communicates with me about Penny’s visits and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. We’ve always had pets growing up. I actually had the responsibility of having my own hamster at 10 years old. I currently have a very flexible schedule as I study for a license so what better way to earn little than to be around pets!!!! My pets are very spoiled! My cats have their own room as well as the whole house. Although my 4 pound Chihuahua is queen of the house
“SUPER late on writing my review, but still wanted to leave one saying Daela was wonderful with taking care of my mom's cats. Very flexible in that my mom has multiple. Daela made sure they were well taken care of while my mom visited over the holidays and sent us updates letting us know how they were doing. Apologies for the years-late review!! Thanks so much Daela!!”
About: Pet sitter with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. Reliable, loving, and attentive-I will provide every pet a safe atmosphere treating them just like family. I am also happy to provide regular updates including photos of your pets while you are away. I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule. I can coordinate what is best for your pet and situation to keep them happy and safe during your time away. If caring for a pet in my home, they will have a peaceful, calm, clean home away from home. The house is kept at 76 degrees in the summertime. For potty breaks there is a large real grass fenced back yard to be enjoyed. If cool enough outside I can introduce toys or balls in the back yard or covered porch, otherwise your pet will enjoy the cool indoors! I will aim to streamline your pet's normal routine to ensure a comfortable stay. If caring in your home, I will ensure we keep your pets normal routine while keeping them safe and settled. I will ensure any pet messes are tended to, making sure your pet is comfortable.
“Teresa and her husband were awesome! They went above and beyond when doing a drop-in visit with my 10 week old puppy. Teresa was prompt with messaging and followed our instructions perfectly. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years for friends, neighbors, and family members. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks or drop-ins, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding in my home, as my dog is not comfortable around new people or animals. However, this has given me valuable experience working with different temperaments and understanding how to read body language, manage boundaries, and create a calm, safe environment for every pet I care for. Because of this, I’m especially attentive and patient, and I prioritize making sure your pet feels secure and comfortable at all times. I’m happy to follow detailed routines and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I work as a freelance handyman, which gives me a flexible and self-managed workday. I’m able to plan my projects around drop-ins, walks, and visits to ensure pets receive consistent and timely care. Since I set my own schedule, I can be reliable with morning, midday, and evening visits, and I prioritize communication and punctuality. Your pet’s routine and well-being will always be factored into my daily planning. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and secure. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, play, litter box or yard clean-up, and any special instructions you provide. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and energy level. For more active pets, I make sure they get proper exercise and engagement. For shy or senior pets, I provide a calm, patient presence and move at their pace. I’m attentive to details like fresh water, secure doors and gates, clean feeding areas, and overall home respect while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: As a dog and cat mama for over 12 years (currently to Rocco, Panda Bear and Sir Leo DiCatprio), I would be so honored and overjoyed to care and love on your pet while you're away! I can give your pet as much or as little affection as they want, while ensuring they are properly cared for and looked after. *Comfortable and experienced with dispensing medication, handling grumpy, sassy, or nervous pets. I loveeeee me some pupper kisses! I've cared for senior pups, reptiles, kittens and cats, as well as dogs requiring medication or special dietary requests. :) I currently work remotely full time with flexibility during the day as well as free morning and evenings! I would easily be able to come over for walks/feeding, etc after dropping my son off to school or during lunch (because I set my own break), and am free all evenings! Will follow directions to your specifications on whatever is best for your pet. I'll always ensure gates/doors are closed and secured, harnesses are properly attached, avoid other dogs on walks if necessary, etc.
“Tamara was the best! Our pup loved her from the first second they met. She was prompt and consistent everyday and our Windy was excited to see her and go for a walk. We could not be any happier.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Peoria
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!

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 .

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.
