About: I have always been the “go to” for all my family, neighbors, and friends when they are in need of someone to be lovingly attentive, patient, and dependable to their pet’s needs. I have many years of experience with rescue, senior, puppies and special needs dogs. I volunteer at a local dog/cat shelter and a farm animal sanctuary in my spare time. It is an absolute joy meeting new animals and getting to know their individual personalities. My love of all animals makes this work deeply fulfilling and so much fun for me. I understand how difficult it can be to have someone else care for your pets when you have to be away. Keeping them happy, engaged and safe is what I’m best at! Lots of one on one time 😊 Playing outside, whether it be walking or hitting my local dog park, is one of my favorite things to do. With this summer heat, there will also be plenty of indoor play and mind engaging activities to enjoy as well. Snuggles and belly rubs are always on the table! I am a full time online student with plenty of time and attention to give your furry family members! I am an early riser and love a good walk or short hike to start the day off. This is my full time job so I will be there with your pet day and night! My only desire is to leave you and your pet fully satisfied with the time we spend together! That means any amount of time and attention they may need is what I’m happily available to offer. My “happy place” is with animals of all kinds so this really is just about making new furry friends for me and having some fun along the way 😊
“Nicole was amazing!! She took great care of Mason and he had everything he needed while we were gone. Nicole is reliable and such a delight to work with! I will definitely be a repeat customer!!”
“Dani was fantastic with my Bengal Yuki. Yuki has a lot of anxiety and as a kitty, does not do well boarding. This was our first time with a pet sitter and Dani made the whole experience very comforting. We got our Rover card daily with a photo of Yuki and a note of how he was doing each day we were gone. Dani was always easy to reach and during our initial meeting was very thorough with understanding exactly how to take care of Yuki. We trust Dani to take care of Yuki again next time we are out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Angel was wonderful with our babies. She was attentive, punctual, and very communicative. Our babies absolutely enjoyed spending time with her. We will definitely be booking her for future trips!!”
“Stephanie was great and our pups loved her! We originally booked for 3 days but our flights were changed and we needed to book 2 more days, she was extremely flexible and accommodating for the last minute request. She also came by our home for a meet and greet a week prior to our booking so I felt totally comfortable with her checking on our dogs while we were out of town. We will definitely be booking with her for our next trip!”
“Kathy did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She communicated consistently and always gave me updates on how my cat was doing. I would definitely book again!”
“Sydney was amazing with our cats while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and provide me really detailed updates which we so appreciated! She was great at communicating and made sure our house and pets were secure. Our cats warmed up to her which reassured me that she was really spending time letting them get to know her and she played with and snuggled with them a lot. 🥰 we would definitely book with her again or recommend her to someone else!”
“Mackenzie is an absolute professional and animal lover with a heart of gold! One-of-a-kind sitting experience. She dropped-in on my two cats during a two week span while we were out of town and the care they recieved was amazing. She follows instructions well and went above and beyond to entertain and look after our babes. Not to mention, she sends the best pics and updates!!! We didn’t have to worry for a single moment that they were happy and cared for. French Fry and Woodstock love their new bff Makenzie!!!”
“Dieulange was amazing with my kitten! She has great energy and knowledge, I would highly recommend booking with her if you’re needing a reliable sitter.”

“Elizabeth was amazing dog sitting both my dogs. She followed all the instructions and requests, she even went above and beyond sent pictures of my pups. Would definitely have her watch my pups in the future and recommending her to friends and family.”
“I would highly recommend E’Ana for pet sitting services. She was engaged & asked detailed questions during our meet & greet. I received thorough updates & plenty of great pics during my trip. Thank you for the wonderful service!!”
“She took great care of my 2 cats, they are very energetic and she would play with them until they were tuckered out every day I was gone, I’d recommend Kat to anyone that needs their pets taken care of. Also the daily updates with pictures were cute”
“Kim and D went above and beyond for our kitties for nearly 2 weeks. They're great at responding, providing updates, being flexible, and they are kind animal lovers. I will definitely be using them again and recommending them to everyone I know.”

Kat was awesome! She came over for a meet and greet, followed all of my animals’ needs, took the cutest pictures, and communicated great through the whole process for a drop-in visit! 100 percent rebooking if we need her again! (Side-note, she didn’t let my dog’s jumping stop her from coming over and providing care, which is a plus!!)
Holly was absolutely amazing! We were really nervous about leaving our fur babies, but she quickly put us at ease. She showed up exactly when she said she would and followed every single direction given. She loved on our babies and sent lots of pictures and kept us up to date. We will definitely book with her every time we have to go out of town!
I have used Xianna several times in the past and I always know that Zoe will be well taken care of. 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. I know I can trust Xianna to take care of Zoe as if she was her own and will not hesitate to use her in the future.
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Peoria on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,362 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Peoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 95% 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.
