“I was so happy with the care Kaela gave my three dogs while I was away. She administered eye drops to my one dog who is admittedly temperamental at times; she provided photos throughout her stay to ensure me that the dogs were alright; the backyard was picked up and water tubs were full; I believe she even cleaned my house! She is an absolutely trustworthy, respectful, and responsible individual. I will definitely call her to dog sit again!”
“Holly did an amazing job taking care of my pets. She did a wonderful job at following my pets routine and keeping me updated. All of my fur babies looked happy and healthy when I got home. Also appreciated all the photos she sent me of my pets. Would definitely rebook with her again.”
“Kalin was amazing ! We got to know her a bit before and felt at ease about leaving our pup for a few Days with her. We knew our Hildie was in good hands! Kalin checked in with us frequently and sent pics as well. It certainly put our minds at ease. 🙏”
“This is the second time Baylee has watched our pup, Zeus, and we couldn't be happier! She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while my husband and I were away for a week. Baylee took great care of Zeus and also looked after our home. We came back to a clean house and a happy, well cared for dog. We highly recommend Baylee and will definitely book with her again!”
“Sydney was wonderful with Daisey. This was her first time staying in our home, and she did such a great job caring for Daisey and making sure she was happy and comfortable. I felt completely at ease knowing Daisey was in such caring hands. I would definitely recommend Sydney and will happily have her care for Daisey again.”
“Monica was GREAT! She showed up a few minutes early which I appreciated since it was our first meeting. She was organized and listened (without judgment) about my quirky Tibetan Terrier who has separation anxiety. She sent photos during the short visit, which wasn’t really necessary but showed her diligence and caring. Will definitely ask her back!”
“Mackenzie is one of the best that I have had. She and my crazy, yappy schnauzer got along so well. She stayed at my house while I was out of town and my house looked as if I had never left. I will most definitely have Mackenzie back and wholeheartedly recommend her service.”
“Charisse far surpassed our expectation taking care of Izzi and caring for our home while we were gone. This is the first time we’ve used her and we can hardly wait to have her come stay with Izzi again. She is a great communicator and very detail oriented in her care. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Tonya T was amazing! It was her first time sitting with our 1 year old Jingles and she was very engaged in keeping Jingles busy and happy. He loved her. She texted us about what they were doing and sent pictures and videos. We will definitely rebook her!”
“We booked again with Richelle and she again took great care of Lola and our home when we were away. Lola’s sensitive stomach was acting up but Richelle took good care of her and kept us in the loop the whole time.”
“Gina was a great sitter for our puppy while on a weekend trip! Took great care of our house and our 6 month old puppy. Sent multiple pics each day and kept us updated with everything! Easy to communicate with and we felt very comfortable leaving our home and puppy in Gina’s hands! Will be our go to for future sitting needs :)”
“Dina is the greatest sitter she is responsible, easy to work with and takes great care of our babies. We never worry about our dogs when she is watching them. She is very dependable and trustworthy.”
About: I’ve loved dogs and cats from a very young age, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I care for every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also used to foster dogs, as well as volunteering at shelters for cats, which gave me experience working with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Through fostering, I learned how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable while helping dogs and cats feel secure in a new environment. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply needs someone to stick to their routine, I’m committed to providing personalized care that meets their unique needs. I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, trustworthy hands every step of the way. As a part-time online college student and solo esthetician, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. Because I create my own work schedule, I’m able to accommodate visits throughout the day, overnight stays, walks, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’m committed to giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and any medications or special care they need. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure and providing regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. I care for every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, happy, and never alone.
“Kathleen was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs. She was reliable and communicative. We appreciated the picture updates. We came home to two happy pups and a clean, tidy house as if we never left! Would absolutely book with Kathleen again.”
“Zadonna took wonderful care of Moo! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos!! She also took wonderful care of my home and made sure Moo had company while I was traveling!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for years. I started pet sitting in high school and have continued through young adulthood, caring for around 50 dogs in my community. Families rely on me because I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s routine and personality. I make sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent grad, with a full time work schedule, I’m able to provide walks, playtime, check-ins, and extended stays to make sure your pet gets consistent attention and care. My home has a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time if boarding is needed. I do live with roommates, so I'm unable to offer boarding at my person home. When possible, I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and secure. I focus on maintaining routines, minimizing stress, and creating a safe, calm environment.
“Taevyn is the best! She was super patient with my high energy Australian Shepherd and adjusted care to her needs perfectly. We got updates with photos every day, and she went above and beyond leaving our space clean when we got back from our trip. I genuinely think our dog misses her already, so we can’t wait to book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Peoria
I can’t recommend Aimee highly enough! I had just moved to town and was only a couple of weeks into a new position when I had to travel. Finding someone I could trust with my pets and my home that quickly felt daunting, but Aimee made it easy. She took fantastic care of Teddy Bear, my Irish Golden Doodle, and Elsa, my cat. I came home to two happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pets. She took just as much care with my home and left everything exactly as she found it. I trust Aimee 100%, and she is now my go-to pet sitter. If you’re looking for someone dependable and caring who treats your pets and your home as if they were her own, call Aimee. You won’t be disappointed! — Pamela
Susan is the best dog sitter we have ever had! She was so attentive to our dog and he became very attached to her! She left our house cleaner than when we left. She is completely trustworthy and enthusiastic about our dog. We will definitely hire her again when we go away. Not only is she very friendly and caring but also incredibly sweet and empathetic!
Holly was very personable and kept us in the loop while we were traveling. She did well with our male pitbull dog. She was reliable, kind and a good choice for pet sitting. She sent us communication and cute pictures daily which was appreciated. We would definitely use her again.
I couldn’t have been happier with the care she gave Tucker! She sent several photos and detailed updates a few times a day, and she was always very responsive. Our house looked exactly as we left it when we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Tucker was in such good hands, and we would happily book her again!
Maddison was amazing! Very personable, great with the animals and she sent a lot of updates. I knew our pups were in great hands which made our trip more enjoyable. Would highly recommend Maddison to anyone looking to help taking car of their fur babies. Will definitely use again!
Kaela was amazing. This was our first time using Rover and she put us at ease right away. Our initial introduction meeting to the dogs went great. She was right on time and very professional. When we were gone, Kaela sent us pictures of the dogs which always makes you feel better when missing them! The house was clean when Kaela left and the dogs really acclimated well to her. Highly recommend!
Sydney did an excellent job caring for our pets and keeping our home tidy (it can be hard sometimes with so many animals in the house)! We have a big crew and she managed effortlessly and kept us updated along the way. I would recommend her to anyone and will love to use her services again in the future!
We absolutely loved Madyson! We’re new to the area, and this was our first time leaving our Frenchie with someone here, so we were definitely a little nervous. Madyson immediately made us feel so comfortable! She was incredibly sweet with Gracie, super easy to get ahold of, and kept us feeling totally at ease while we were away. It was such a relief knowing she was being well taken care of. We’re so happy we found her and will 100% be using her again!
Daela has a big heart for animals! She is loving, responsible, and thoughtful. She took great care of our little 2 year old dog, who we left for the first time in her life. Our dog had anxiety and was so uncertain at first. Daela was patient, giving Goldie her space while always being available to her. I would highly recommend her!
We couldn't have asked for a better pet and house sitter! She stayed in our home for two weeks while caring for our dog, Kona, and gave us complete peace of mind the entire time. She sent constant photo updates, which made being away so much easier, and it was obvious from every picture how happy and well cared for Kona was. She truly went above and beyond. Not only did she make sure Kona was well-fed and even picked up more food for him when he needed it, but she also took wonderful care of his skin (bulldogs can be difficult!) and overall well-being. When we came home, Kona was happy, healthy, and clearly loved. She also took exceptional care of our home. It was absolutely spotless when we returned, and she even took care of extra household tasks like outdoor cleanup and taking out the trash. On top of all that, she left us thoughtful goodies, which was such a sweet surprise. She is reliable, communicative, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. We trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and home. We will absolutely be booking her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Peoria is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $86 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Peoria walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Peoria maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Peoria. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
