“Adrian did a wonderful job house sitting for our two pups. It was our first time ever using a service like Rover, and he was a great representative! Communication was timely and caring. He is very personable and also jumped in immediately to help us when our first sitter had to cancel with a medical emergency even before we had our meet and greet with her. We highly recommend him and plan to use him for future needs.”
“Cassandra will exceed all expectations every single time. There are truly no words to describe how happy we are that we found her. This is our third time using her and we will continue to book with her. It is so nice to go away on vacation and to not worry about our fur babies. She is a blessing.”
“Kaela was great with the dogs and communicated well. She updated us with pictures so we knew our dogs were happy and doing well. Thank you for giving us peace of mind, especially with it being the first time having you watch them.”
“Daela stayed with our dogs two nights in November. She provided us feedback frequently and answered our texts immediately Our pups were happy and health on our arrival home. We will use her again”
“Very conscientious and responsible. Dexter adores her and we know she will always follow thru when she commits. Helped us with dogsitting and housesitting for a long international trip.”
“Holly was AMAZING!! Gave me so many great updates and pictures of my fur babies while I was away. It’s never easy being away from my pets but my mind was at ease knowing they were in Holly’s care. My dog is blind and deaf and one of my kitties needed some medical care while I was gone - Holly handled it all with no problem. My pets were happy and healthy when I arrived back home ❤️”
“Angela was absolutely amazing! I felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home and care for our dog, Stevie. She was kind, responsible, and treated Stevie like family. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Angela followed our routine, took great care of our home, and went above and beyond to make sure Stevie felt happy and loved. As a newly adopted 1-year-old German Shepherd, husky mix with some quirks, Stevie needed patience and understanding, and Angela provided exactly that. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with both your pet and your home, but Angela made it easy. We would gladly have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Avivah was wonderful! She came in at the last minute when my normal sitter was unable to watch Nina. Responded right away to any questions. Sent me photos and updates throughout the trip. She even got my shy girl so comfy as to be able to send cuddling pictures. I will absolutely use Avivah again to sit for Nina.”
“I would absolutely use Leslie again to sit with my dogs. They have severe separation anxiety and she stayed with them overnight and was able to work from home at my house during the day. She completely changed up her schedule to accommodate and I couldn't be more thankful.”
“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.”
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.
“Tonya is amazing. My shy dog Lillie loved her from the minute they met. Tonya sent pictures regularly and my cat and dog looked happy and comfortable. I was able to enjoy my trip better without having to worry.”
“Mya is the absolute best!! Would highly recommend her. Our girl was well taken care of, and she went over and above to make sure she was happy and comfortable. So happy we found Mya!”
“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!”
“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.”

About: I miss having a dog, but would like to enjoy and benefit from the love of a dog by sitting with yours, currently restricted on owning a pet where I live please let me love your dog. I am currently retired so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. Just let me know your needs and I will deliver. I just spent two weeks caring for a standard poodle, we took daily walks, playtime, grooming, and scheduled feedings. I will abide by your dog schedule.

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.
Angela is the best!!!! I felt totally comfortable having her stay in my home and my pup liked her as well. I have a hard time leaving my dog, but not with Angela. She took great care of him and my house. Definitely five stars from me and four paws up from my pup.
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!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Peoria on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,347 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Peoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
