“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!”
“Adrian did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Russell! I could tell right away that Russell was comfortable and happy with him. Adrian was dependable, caring, and attentive, and he kept me updated while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated knowing that Russell and my home were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Adrian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking Adrian again!”
“Leslie was so great with my two pups while I was out of town for the weekend! She gave them a lot of attention and provided me with plenty of updates/photos to make me feel at ease. They had such a great time with her, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Alexandria is so sweet and flexible and she really cares about our dog. Leaving your pup while on vacation can be stressful but Alexandria sends so many updates and makes sure that I know pup is okay. She has always gone above and beyond for our dog. I can’t say enough good things. Thank you so much!”
“Avivah did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs over an 11 day vacation. When she came over a couple days later to drop off the house key the dogs were more excited to see her then when we got home! We will definitely request her as a sitter in the future.”
“We really appreciated the care our Rover sitter gave our two dogs while we were away overnight. He was available on short notice, responded promptly, and came by for a meet-and-greet very soon afterward, which we really appreciated. He communicated well throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. I had told him it was completely fine if he skipped our dogs' morning walk since we were only gone for one day, but he took them anyway, and I truly appreciated the extra effort. After we had already booked, I also asked if he could turn our leopard geckos' lights on and off, and he was happy to help with that as well. Most importantly, our two pups mean the world to us, so knowing they were well cared for gave us great peace of mind. They are an important part of our family, and we're very grateful for the excellent care and attention they received. Thank you, Jonathan!”
“We were VERY pleased with Roxie and look forward to booking her again for our dog. Roxie arrived when we asked, provided us with regular updates and pictures, gave medication as prescribed and left our home looking great. She even slept on the sofa one of the nites to help calm our dog during a late-nite storm. Over & above! We highly recommend Roxie & know our dog will be happy to see her the next time.”
“Sue was amazing - responsive, friendly, and punctual. A caring, wonderful sitter who genuinely loves dogs. We are very happy we found Sue and we can’t wait to book with her again. Thank you, Sue.”
“Such a great person and an even better sitter! My puppies loved her! She was so patient with them and gave great feedback during the day! Thank you so much!”
“Aimee house-sat our 3 dogs and our cat for several days. The experience was fantastic! She checked in every evening with pics and a quick rundown of the day. Our crew loved her. She even laundered the sheets & towels, swept the floors. Will definitely be contacting her when we need a sitter again 👍🏼👍🏼”
“Dina was a great dog & house sitter. She was able to accommodate our pet's walking schedule and left our home in perfect condition. I would highly recommend her and hope that she will be available for future bookings.”
“Richelle did a great job loving on my pups and cat while we were out of town. I was nervous to have someone new in my home but she was respectful of our space and was great at communicating every day.”
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.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and behaviors. I have a flexible schedule between my schooling and another position. Available mornings, evenings, and nights depending on the day. My experience has required me to stay with the pet overnight, i return to their home as often as i can throughout the day on weekdays. I can do anything that is needed for your pet, I am familiar with giving animals medicine as my dog requires it, dietary restrictions, necessary walks, etc.
“Amazing! I had a long trip planned and Nate was available, responsible, and communicated better than any sitter I’ve had! I came home to a happy pup and a clean home. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Peoria
It is obvious that Angela is very experienced, kind, and patient with her four legged babies. She arrived when she said she would, stayed as we agreed and I felt gave my little girl the best care possible, in my home. Her sense of responsibility and committment is very comforting.
Aimee house-sat our 3 dogs and our cat for several days. The experience was fantastic! She checked in every evening with pics and a quick rundown of the day. Our crew loved her. She even laundered the sheets & towels, swept the floors. Will definitely be contacting her when we need a sitter again 👍🏼👍🏼
Maddison was incredible! The pups and cat adored her, we will absolutely use her again! She communicated any issues and sent lots of updates, pictures and videos of what they were doing, and playing. The animals felt right at home with her and we felt very confident and comfortable leaving her with them and our home.
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!
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.
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 $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $87 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
