“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!”
“We really enjoyed working with Kaela, our cats loved her and she connected with them instantly. We will book her services again and will recommend her to friends and family. Thank you, Kaela!”
“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”
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. (:
“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.”
“Patricia was truly amazing, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care. She took extra time to help my dog warm up and feel safe, which meant everything to me. My pup was extremely difficult at first, but Patricia was so patient, gentle, and kind- never rushed, never discouraged. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on long walks, giving medication exactly as requested, and even working with her on training (she helped her learn to lay down!). The constant photo updates were so reassuring and showed just how much love and attention she was giving. It’s clear Patricia genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such thoughtful, capable hands. Thank you so much, Patricia — you’re incredible, and I would trust you again in a heartbeat!”
“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!!”
“Megan took care of my two Lab/Shepherds on very short notice while we were visiting Glendale. The dogs are very high-energy and high needs and a challenge for anyone but Megan was equal to the challenge and I highly recommend her for excellent dog sitting services. Thanks Megan!”
About: I have had dogs all my life, I have experience caring for and walking them. I use my dogs to help house break new puppies, I'm experienced with large dogs after having quit a fee myself, including a Bullmastiff. I just left my full time job, so I will be home all the time, doing pet sitting is something I always wanted to do. I have an 8 foot cinder block wall going around my large backyard, I have a pool, I am always in the yard with my new dogs.
“Avivah was great! Prompt communication and always reliable on each visit. My cat Frankie LOVED her - she’s so great with the animals. I would absolutely recommend booking Avivah, and she will be my first choice for my next Rover booking!”
“Savannah was very kind, responsive, and got along well with my pups! She sent me daily updates and pictures. She also left my pups a gift with a sweet card on her last day of sitting. Would book Savannah again!”

“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.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies — and caring for them comes as naturally to me as breathing. Our home was always full of furry (and sometimes feathered!) friends, and that love has only grown over the years. When you trust me with your pet, you’re not just hiring a sitter — you’re choosing someone who will treat them like family. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company, your pet will be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away — your fur baby will be in warm, caring hands! 🔆😊 I work from home full-time, which means I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether they need extra playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll be there to accommodate their needs. Just let me know when you need me — I’m ready to help! I live in an apartment with my husband, our 2-year-old boy, and our dog who loves the company of other fur buddies! We have a dog park right inside our complex, perfect for safe, fun playtime and daily walks. It’s a calm, loving environment where your pet will feel right at home.

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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Peoria is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 November 2026, there are 6,230 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 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:
- 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
