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.

About: I have had dogs all my life. Cats for over 30. I have fostered many dogs and puppies, from liters of 6 week olds to 120# newfoundlands. I consider myself a pet nanny and spoiler. My job is to keep your pets safe and happy while you are away. I currently consider a night as 8pm to 8am. If your dog needs more time than that let's talk about extended care. I have a level 1 fingerprint clearance card. I have a day job in pet rescue and work 10am-6:30 pm five days a week. I can not provide mid day care those days. I am happy to come to your home and love on your pets. I am happy to play with them, pet them, feed and light brushing. I try very hard to stick with your routine and keep them on your schedule.

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. 🐾

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedications to personalized care tailored to each pets needs. I ensure a safe, happy environment for the pet in the clients home. I just started a job at Burger King & will be sometimes needing to commute there for around 5-7 hours. Some dogs need more attention & care than I can provide. I apologize! In clients homes, I follow specific feeding schedules, provide exercise, grooming & health checks. I will keep the pets area clean & offer affection & attention to ensure comfort in their owners absence.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, giving me a lifelong love and understanding of what makes our canine companions so special. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of dog sitting for many friends and family members, providing everything from energetic playtime to calm companionship. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved! I’m currently a college student therefore I am not going to school in the summer. My schedule is very flexible no matter the day or time! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime preferences, and any medications or special care needs. I’ll also make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and interaction while you’re away. In addition to pet care, I’ll keep your home tidy and treat it with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to ensure both you and your pet feel completely at ease during my visits!

About: I have had responsibilities for many different types of animals. In my experience I have personally had dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds. Professionally, I have cared for dogs and cats, horses, goats, lizards, birds (both the household variety as well as falcons), cows and other various farm animals. I work a full time 7:00-4:00 job m-f. Depending on how close your home is to camelback or Bethany home I'm able to do drop in visits before I go into work. I am generally available everyday after 4:00 for drop-ins. My weekends are usually completely open. Due to having a shared living space and a dog that is sometimes overprotective I only offer care in your home. I am open to just doing quick stopping or if your pet requires more attention, I willing to do longer playtime or even full days if it fits in with my work schedule.

About: 20+ Years of Loving Dog Experience 🐾❤️ With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I’ve had the joy of caring for bully breeds and pups of all ages—from playful puppies to beloved seniors. I’ve also cared for a variety of breeds, personalities, and special needs, including providing long-term, personalized care. I’ve been a proud dog mom to a pittie from her puppy years through her senior years, as well as a senior Chihuahua. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, understanding, consistency, and, most of all, treating every dog with the love and care they deserve. Your pup will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, patience, and personalized care. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🐾❤️ I’m open during the week any time of the day and possibly weekends. Weekends preferably scheduled in advance but willing to take on last minute requests when available. I’m willing and able to adapt to the needs and requests for specific pets and their unique personality types, specific feeding instructions, play, or whatever may be needed.

I am not originally from here, I am from Washington and moved here to play college basketball. So there will be no animals in the house I am at now!! I am a collegiate athlete who is responsible, and has time on her hands looking to make some extra money to pay off my tuition! I have a fenced yard and a two story house with a couple of my teammates. I am able to go to your place or the animals can come to mine. Either works perfectly!

About: We're super excited about the opportunity to care for your dog and give them the vacation they deserve! We hope to be your choice for their special getaway! Hi everyone! My name is Erika. Our vet recommended we do Rover as a way to socialize our Thor puppy when he was only 6 months old and its now been almost 5 years of doing Rover dog boarding or as I like to call them "puppy sleepovers" and we absolutely love it! We get to share our home and get to spoil pups and give them their own vacation experience and Thor gets buds to play with. It's a win-win-win! Thor is a gorgeous 5yo yellow lab with the best temperament, he is super well socialized thanks to Rover, and he loves (more like obsessed) to play fetch! Thor is fully vaccinated and ask that your dogs also be fully vaccinated and up to date on their boosters. I work from home so I get to spend a lot of time outside playing fetch. Thor is very active and loves to play so we love having friends over for him to play with, so your pup will get plenty of outdoor time on their vacation! Thor is really friendly and does well with all types of dogs. He's super patient and really careful when playing with small pups. He's really good at respecting other pups boundaries when they don't want to play or when they need a break. He is such a good boy. He is super well socialized and plays well with all size dogs and has been exposed to all types of breeds. We're excited about the opportunity to care for your dog and give them the vacation they deserve! We hope to be your choice for their special getaway! Our pup parents always joke that they feel like their pups are on vacation too when they come stay with us so we have made it our mission to make them feel like they are on vacation too! I work from home so I am available all day. I work 7am-5pm M-Th and I'm off Fri-Sat-Sun, but my job is very flexible and I can step away whenever I need to. I play fetch daily with him between 12-1pm until he gets tired. I noticed that when we have other pups stay with us they are too tired from playing all day to play fetch for long but I like sticking to his set play time. I work from my laptop so most of the time I sit in the backyard watching the pups play. I have a fenced in yard with a dog run with artificial grass for pups to run and play as well as a dog friendly pool and patio area. The grass is cleaned and deodorized every Sunday. Pups will be inside our home unless they are supervised outside. We do not crate Thor or any pups in our care unless specificly asked to do so by their pet parent. We let them sleep where they feel most comfortable but my son loves having them sleep with him if it's ok and allowed by their parents. Can't wait to meet your fur baby!

Alyssa has helped me care for my Belgian Malinois female for over a year by providing mid-day walks. Alyssa is caring, compassionate, responsible and meticulous in going about her dog care responsibilities. She understands working dogs specifically Malinois’ and their unique breed characteristics. I am a Veterinarian (in public health) so I feel I am a good evaluator of people’s dog IQ’s and I rate Alyssa at the top of the hierarchy. She follows through with a text to me about every walk she completes. She is especially attentive if there is an issue with my dog that I am concerned about. Look no further if you need help with your dog. I completely trust her. Alyssa is awesome.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Peoria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Peoria is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 5,707 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Peoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Peoria. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Peoria after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Peoria. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
