“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.”
“Kalin was FANTASTIC. I had a bad run with another puppy sitter that I found on Rover. And I was a bit nervous to go on another trip, but I was very thankful that I chose and went with Kalin, because the difference in care was so evident. I feel like she did go above and beyond. I know my puppy is young and has all the energy, and she made sure she was at least walked twice a day, and all the fetch. She picked up the poop after every go, and ensured the house was tidy. I do have roommates but it's very important to me not to expect them to take care of my new puppy. Feedback from my roommates was glowing as well. She messaged me lots of videos and pictures and kept me updated and reassured while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Kalin again. ❤️”
“Cassandra is AMAZING! She is communicative and plans ahead. She had the forethought to take our trash to the curb without us asking and verified what time we would be home. She even stayed a little later after we confirmed it was going to be late at night. Best of all - our two boys loved her! This is our first service from her but she earned a repeat customer for life.”
“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!”
“Sheyna was fantastic in every way! She was very communicative with us from start to finish, and took the best care of our 3 dogs. We will definitely be using her again!l in the future! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Roxie is the absolute best! Mocha loves her to pieces and I feel so comfortable knowing that she's taking great care of the house and my baby. Left the house immaculate, brought packages in for me and reported mishaps promptly. Mocha and I appreciate you!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 18 years, starting with family pets and continuing with my own dog for the past 8 years. I also frequently help care for pets belonging to family and friends. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routine comfortable and familiar. Please let me know anything your furry friend might need to feel comfortable while you’re away and I am happy to make it happen! I plan my day around pet care, making time for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I keep a consistent schedule so each pet gets reliable, focused attention. I follow each pet’s routine exactly—feeding, walks, play, and quiet time. I keep their space clean, safe, and comfortable and give consistent updates for peace of mind.
“Monica was absolutely fantastic! Our pups loved having her there, especially our dog who is terrified of fireworks. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be using Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Monica! ❤️”
“Susan was absolutely amazing! I wish I could rate her 11/10!! She stayed with my dogs as I asked and gave them lots of love and attention. I never worried once while we were on our trip. She sent daily videos and pictures and even helped water my flowers for me. Susan was prompt and had great communication. I can’t wait to use her services some more and so grateful to have found her!!”
“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 👍🏼👍🏼”
“Krystal was fantastic! She asked thoughtful questions when needed, followed all of our detailed instructions, and was very responsive throughout her stay. Most importantly, I felt confident that she cared for our home and our dogs as if they were her own.”
“Patrick is absolutely amazing! This was the second time he’s watched my dogs, and once again he did such a great job. One of my dogs can be a bit difficult, but Patrick handles him with so much patience and care—it’s clear he really understands animals. Both of my dogs adore him! He also left my house super clean, which is always such a nice surprise to come home to. Reliable, caring, and easy to work with—I’ll definitely keep booking him!”
“We had Corissa watch our 2 chihuahua pups for 3 nights. She kept in constant contact with us, sending pictures. Our dogs where obviously very well taken care of. We will most definitely use her services again!!”
“Rose was very patient with my very anxious rescue dog. She didn’t push my dogs boundaries and gave her the space she needed. I really appreciated her updates and honesty about how things were going. My cat loved her right away!”
“We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such amazing care of our boys while we were away and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in good hands. It’s always hard leaving them behind, but she made the whole experience so easy and gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and loves what she does, which means so much to us! We’re so thankful we found her and will definitely be reaching out to her again anytime we need someone to watch our boys. Couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️”
About: I love dogs. I prefer smaller to medium dogs. I like to go on walks, play and sit comfy on the couch with them. I’m not a fan of puppies who are still learning potty training and not to chew I work my regular job anywhere from 30-40 hours a week. I control my schedule, during the hours between 7am and 10 pm, which is helpful. I take weekends off but I am also able to take weekdays off. I can be available to step away from work pretty much at any time needed. I don’t have any other responsibilities, other than your buddy. I am very respectful and will follow all the directions you ask of me and I will make sure I’m asking questions to make everything clear.
About: Since 2022, I have been pet sitting for families in my community. While I primarily work with low to moderate maintenance pets of all ages, I do have experience administering medications and following specialized diets. My house sitting fee includes tasks like watering plants, checking the mail, and bringing in packages. Open to extended stays. I am available near full time for caring. I may run to the store or go to grab coffee with a friend but while on a job my priority is always a pets well being. I closely follow their schedule for walks, bathroom breaks, and meals. Through play I work to build rapport with a pup. I prioritize keeping leashes on for walks and stay vigilant for any possible threats. I have also taken a small educational course on reading dog behavior and assessing their body language.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Peoria is $50
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. On Rover, sitters 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 October 2026, there are 4,236 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
