“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.”
“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!”
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. (:
“I felt such peace of mind having Kaela take care of my senior cats. She did all that was needed and I felt my cats were very happy to have her come visit them. I would highly recommend Kaela to anyone.”
“Tamara was great. Our 2 dogs and cat seemed very happy with her. She did everything we asked and was always easy to communicate with. We will definitely use her again!”
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.
“Stephanie has been such a blessing and did a great job caring for my dog while I was away. She was flexible to extend the dates when I got delayed on my trip. I am so glad I found this service and picked her. My trust and confidence in the care of my pet is critical to me and she delivered exceptional service. I loved getting the updates and pictures daily!”
“Shelby was amazing! I was nervous about leaving my kitten for a whole weekend, but she made the process really easy and provided plenty of pictures/updates! Would 100% use her everytime!”
“Morgan is a miracle worker/magician!! My pup is anxious and hasn’t been walked by a dog sitter while I’m away. But, my pup was trusting enough with Morgan to go on walks. I’m so thankful to find Morgan! Absolutely the best dog sitter for anxious/nervous pups! If I could I’d give her a million stars.”
“Angel is genuinely and consistently amazing! This is my third time asking her to care for my elderly cat and dog and showed genuine care and patience for them and their quirks. This was my longest trip away from home, but knowing she was looking out for them made me feel confident and comfortable. You won't regret booking with her!”
“This was the first time using a pet sitter, and I was hesitant, but after meeting Dani, my mind was at ease. I like receiving the visit cards and pics on my phone. My Cali seemed so happy and taken care of too. I would definitely request Dani through Rover again. I will also tell friends. Thanks Dani! ”
“Issy listened to my needs when tending to my senior cat I even asked her to come over to my house since it been some time since she had watched my cats so I could go over my instructions on feeding my senior cat .my cat is a very difficult one takes forever to eat and has to be watched due to the other cat always wants to eat her food she sits for two cats one senior and one youngster the youngsters very outgoing and friendly while the senior is very shy I was happy to find out that my senior cat ate well while I was gone and even allowed her by the end of the three days for her to give her some love I appreciate her listening i baby my cats like they were my children and I appreciate her doing the same definitely Book her”
“Great experience with Amasiah! We've hired him twice to watch after my Alaskan malamute and Chihuahua. He has a great demeanor with them and they enjoy him. He's punctual and follows direction which has made travel for us stress free.”
“Xianna is truly amazing. I am still surprised how well my grumpy boy took to her. I am so happy and feel very safe with her caring for my boys. I am one thousand percent booking her again”
“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!!)”
“We were very blessed to have Savannah help us with our fur baby. She’s very kind, professional and communicates great. She has always been responsive and works great with any unique feedback or requests we had. Thank you Savannah! Everything was organized and clean, our pup was very happy and at peace when we got home. You can tell she got great attention as there wasn’t any pent up anxious energy. We’ll definitely book again with Savannah!”

Aimee is the best sitter you can ask for!! She went above and beyond for our kitties. She has so much experience and background knowledge about cats and animals in general. 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!!
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.

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.
