About: I’ve been in the petsitting business for 10 plus years now, and I’ve never met an animal I didn’t like! With two cats at home, and being a regular sitter for my brother with a German shepherd and friend with a Golden and a Collie mix, I’m confident I’ll get along great with your pet, whatever their shape or size. I’ve got experience at giving out medications, making sure pups do their business on walks, and I excel at giving ear scratches and belly rubs. (: As a full-time worker (8:30 am to 5:30 pm, M-F), my availability is limited to early mornings and evenings. If you’re needing someone to check in on your pup or cat in the morning and around dinnertime, I’m your gal! During those times, I’m happy to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and fed. If I’m housesitting, I will stay overnight and give lots of cuddles! (: I completely understand that it’s hard to leave your home and pet! I will always respect your boundaries within your home and make sure I leave it better than I found it. A petsitter is often also a housesitter, and I will make sure I honor your space. With cats at home, I understand how quickly messes can accumulate, and I’m fully comfortable with cleaning even the grossest of them up. (:

“SUPER late on writing my review, but still wanted to leave one saying Daela was wonderful with taking care of my mom's cats. Very flexible in that my mom has multiple. Daela made sure they were well taken care of while my mom visited over the holidays and sent us updates letting us know how they were doing. Apologies for the years-late review!! Thanks so much Daela!!”

Getting a daily check-in with photos every day put our minds at ease knowing they were in such good hands. If you are looking for someone to ensure your kitties are well taken care of.

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. 🐾

She was so loving to my kitties as if they were her own! She truly impressed me with being so thoughtful and considerate of the kitties and their environment to make sure they’re safe. She gave the cutest photos and updated with a sweet message about what happened at each visit. I cannot recommend her more!! Thank you!!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of pets since I was about 9 or 10, I love animals so much, I always connect with them on a deep level and create unforgettable bonds with them. I’d love to be able to care for your pet when you need it. Your pet would be in the best hands at my home ! I'm available all week I don't work so I'm always here to tend to the dogs and make sure they get what they need . I live in a house with a back yard ans a nearby dog park, i have my baby girl Nona, she's about 5 years old and i take her to the dog park for the restroom or let her out in my back yard which is pretty spacious and would do the same for your baby. The dogs are allowed on my bed and can explore my house as they please, i do have Nona but can separate them if you prefer your dog to be alone! my dog is very friendly but also are kennel trained and I won’t mind giving your dog some alone time with me :) I love my dog with all my heart and would love to have her meet yours and create a bond💗 And for your home I’d follow the routine you normally do with your dogs!:)

About: Hi there! I’m a proud fur mama to my sweet dog, Ambrose her name means immortal, and she’s been my heart since the day we met. Ambrose is the happiest pup you’ll ever meet. She LOVES doing zoomies in the backyard, digging her favorite spots, and smiling at everyone she meets. Her favorite thing in the world? Belly rubs! When I get home, she “talks” to me letting me know about her day with little sounds and tail wags. She makes me laugh, keeps me grounded, and reminds me to slow down and enjoy the simple moments. Through Ambrose, I’ve learned so much about patience, unconditional love, and how every animal has their own unique, beautiful personality. I would be so happy to meet your fur babies and give them the same love, care, and cuddles I give my own. Playtime, belly rubs, walks, treats you name it, I’m here for it! Thank you so much for reading about me. If you have any questions, or if there’s something special your pet loves, feel free to share I’d love to hear about them 🐾🤍 ⸻ During the school year, I work as an instructional assistant, but with summer break coming up, I’ll have a lot more free time to spend with pets! I’m excited to fill my days with cuddles, playtime, and caring for fur babies. I take care of my own dog, Ambrose, every day though I’ll admit, during those hot summer days, we stick to early morning or evening walks and spend the afternoons enjoying the cool indoors with belly rubs and snacks! I’m all about keeping pets happy, comfy, and cared for in ways that fit their needs and the weather 🌵 When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible from feeding schedules to playtime and quiet time. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. If a pet loves belly rubs, toys, or just sitting nearby, I’m there for it! I pay close attention to their body language and mood, so I can adjust to what they need, whether it’s extra play, calm cuddles, or a nice nap spot. For outdoor time, especially during hot weather, I stick to early mornings or evenings for walks and make sure they have shade, water, and rest breaks. My focus is making sure every pet feels like they’re with family 🤍

About: From bulldogs to chihuahuas. I encourage lots of love and care and even know how to groom if necessary. I am home full time living with my fiancée, both of us are passionate about all animals. Both of us have or have had dogs of our own, I myself have worked with dogs in grooming, puppy daycare, and in a veterinary clinic. Each dog has their own unique personality, and it's important to cater to each dog and listen to them rather than assume you know what to do. All dogs deserve proper care and attentiveness and I can confidently say I can provide both and more for every dog I meet. Thank you kindly. Currently I am building my professional career working for vet clinics and rescues where needed, in the meantime I like to provide for my community by helping those with pet care when days get busy. After years working with pet parents and their critters, I know the importance of keeping them safe and happy. I like to build trust with a pet, reassuring them that I am someone they can feel comfortable with, here to help and not to invade their space.

This was my first time using a service like Rover. Shelby was very patient and helpful with making sure I and my dogs were set and safe while I was away. She was very attentive to my pets and gave them lots of love. Although my dogs are on the lazy side, she still made the effort to try to play and give them some stimulation during the 30 minute drop in's.

She always sends details of each visit and pictures so I know exactly what's going on when I'm gone and Zoe looks forward to seeing her as well.

This was my first time using Rover, although I have several friends who have used it and had great experiences. I truly struck gold with Audra! From the very beginning, she was communicative and responsive throughout the booking process, which immediately put me at ease. My dog, Duke, is an anxious boy, but Audra’s calm, patient, and sweet demeanor won him over right away. Seeing how comfortable he was with her gave me complete confidence that he would be well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Audra to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their fur baby. I will definitely be booking with her again in the very near future!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Peoria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Peoria is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $39 per visit. 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 6,255 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Peoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
