“Xianna is a gem & we felt so good about her taking such great care of our dog Blue. She truly loves animals & it was clear how much Blue enjoyed his time with her. Also great communication:) thank you Xianna!!! The best!!”
“Irene was amazing!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our kitten and guinea pig. Would highly recommend if you are in need of a good, trustworthy pet sitter. She kept us updated every day with pics and messages about our animals.She made us feel very comfortable and at ease.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Dieulange. She really truly loves and cares for animals. She went above and beyond for our two kitties. When one of them couldn’t be found during one of her drop in visits she came back later in the day on her own time to see if she could find him. When he still couldn’t be found she spent time on the phone with me checking every possible hiding spot in the apartment. She did not give up! We are so appreciative of her compassion and patience. She is also very communicative and responds fast. She put us at ease and made it possible to enjoy our trip out of town. I look forward to booking her again!”
“Averi was great with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel at ease while I was away. I appreciated the updates and knowing my cats were well cared for. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”
“Elizabeth was an amazing pet sitter for our two kitties! She made sure to not only give specialized play time with our younger cat, but also gave space to our older shy cat. Both cats seemed to love being around her and we would love to have her catsit for us again!”
“Great experience with Lauren. Very flexible with doing a last min meet & greet and working around my kitty’s medication schedule. Left everything tidy (both kitties are messy eaters). Judging from the photos/updates I could see that my senior furbabies were well taken care of and happy. Would def use Lauren again.”
“Brendan was great with our dogs who are very high energy. He was very communicative, reliable, and flexible which we really appreciated. We’re grateful our dogs were in his amazing care and services when we were away.”
About: I have two goldendoodles named Lacy & Prince. I also have an english springer spaniel / doodle mix rescue, Manny. Lacy is 9 years old, Prince is 5, and Manny is 2. I work for myself so I create my own schedule, so I would love to spend my extra time loving on someone else’s fur babies! I am a sucker for all animals as I grew up on a farm in southern Illinois. At one time we had 13 family dogs, numerous cats, goats, donkeys, horses, you name it- all running around! I was made for this 😌 I am a stay-at-home mom and small business owner, which allows me to create my own schedule and be flexible throughout the day. Because I work from home & control my hours, I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for and spend time with my own dogs every day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have three friendly dogs of my own and understand how important it is to leave your pet’s care with someone you trust. I treat every dog as if they were part of my family, providing plenty of love, supervision, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and routine, and I am happy to provide photo and video updates anytime.
About: I was in veterinary assistant school from Junior to Senior year of high-school, earning my accredited veterinary assistant certificate. I cared for animals within my schools care and had to follows schedules and administer medication when applicable. I do want to emphasize that assisting is BARE MINIMUM veterinary information so I will not be able to diagnose/prognose any animals. I have pet sit for my sister and my friend while they are away on vacation, providing daily pictures along with that. I'm currently working a part-time job that has too many workers. I'm seeking another job that I know I will be efficient and good at while also enjoying in the mean time. I have plenty of times during my weeks and am willing and able to hangout with your pets for majority of my days :) Due to my short work schedule, I am able to provide care for your animal for majority of the day (depending on which days I work). Thankfully, I am never working a full day at my job so your pet will never be left alone for more than a couple hours during the day.
About: As someone who has lived in a household animated by dogs for most of her life, I have many years of experience caring for them too. Whether your dog is shy or outgoing, active or more leisurely, puppy or adult or elderly - I'm confident I can provide safe, fun and affectionate experience for them while you're away. I'm happy to walk your dog and/or just visit with them at your home. I can bathe your dog, administer medications if needed, and send text/photo updates about my visit with your pet upon request as well. *Because i work full-time and only take Rover bookings on a part-time basis, I'm available during very early am (5-630am) or late afternoon (3-6pm) hours only. My own dog is an indoor dog and very much part of the family. We take special care with his diet and give him the daily walks/exercise he needs - I'll show the same care, concern and affection with your pup too!
“Amasiah was wonderful doing drop-in’s while I was away! All 3 of my fur babies loved him and he took good care of them and even cleaned up overnight accidents! I look forward to booking with him again in the future!”
“Tamara was the best! Our pup loved her from the first second they met. She was prompt and consistent everyday and our Windy was excited to see her and go for a walk. We could not be any happier.”
“Kathy is wonderful and all my pets love her! She was very reliable, easy to book with, very kind, and reminded me of a loving family member stopping by instead of a stranger I found on an app. I would absolutely book with her again in the future! You can truly tell the love she has for animals, it shows in both her personality and in the interactions she has with your pets.”
“Kimberly and Deanna were fantastic! They took wonderful care of our cat, Greg, playing with him, interacting, and talking to him just like we do. They kept us well updated with photos and videos throughout, which gave us total peace of mind. They truly went above and beyond in providing loving, attentive care for our fur baby. We couldn’t recommend them more highly; thank you both so much!”
“I am so glad I found Holly. She is excellent! My dog Simon loves her. She is reliable and responds very quickly. She takes her time with Simon walking him, giving him time outside and spending time loving on him. Her notes of the visit are detailed. FShe gives him alot of love. I highly recommend her !”
“Morgan and Jeannette were available on short notice to do a drop in on my two puppies and even came over to meet us the day before their drop in. It’s clear that they love animals and are flexible in handling your pets’ needs. I would definitely book again in the further.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Peoria
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!
Alyssa is awesome with my rescue girl, Twinkle! Twink is anxious and cautious around new people, but Alyssa quickly won her over, and she loves her afternoon walkies with her new friend. Alyssa is dependable and very responsive to messages and texts. When Twink is with Alyssa, I know that she is being well taken care of and having fun. 10/10 recommend Alyssa!
Overall, an amazing person very dry great communication went above and beyond my dogs were happy when I came home and I can see through the camera that I have at my house that she exercised the dogs by taking them to the park played with them and gave them great care
Regina came recommended by our usual sitters and we couldn't have been more pleased. She was wonderful with our cats, sent lots of pictures and even a few videos while we were gone. She communicated with us very well throughout the entire experience. I would definitely use her again! She even left us a thank you note and a little treat. How sweet is that?!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Peoria stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Peoria. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
