“She was a great person to come see my cats. I'd call myself and pets on the higher maintenance type of situation and she was able to hand it all like a champ. She had to medicate 2 of them and was successful, spending how ever much time she needed to get them to take their meds. Very communicative and able to follow directions!”


“Jess was amazing! She was very communicative the entire time and even sent pictures with updates. She was great with my pup and even stayed to play with her for a little bit, and ensure my dog had some food and water before leaving. Will definitely be booking with Jess again in the future!”


“Thank you so much for checking on my babies! I appreciate the updates, communication and pictures! So happy knowing they are safe and taken care of while I’m out of town!”


“I recently had the pleasure of hiring an incredible dog sitter, Erin, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Here's what stood out: Great Communication: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Erin's communication skills were impeccable. She was responsive, asked all the right questions, and updated me with regular messages, photos, and videos. Amazing with My Dog: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She showered my furry friend with love and attention, ensuring a comfortable and happy visit. Fantastic Photos: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Erin's photography skills were impressive. She captured wonderful moments of my dog, providing beautiful memories. In short, Erin is a gem. If you need someone who communicates well, loves your dog like family, and takes stunning photos, look no further. I highly recommend her services!”


About: I’ve had a Siberian Husky since I was 12 years old. The only time I wasn’t her primary caretaker was the 4 years I was away at college. I’ve seen her through the puppy phases and grow into a tame napper with bursts of energy from her youth. She lived with my parents when I moved back to the city until she crossed over the rainbow at 15, but I lived with my cousins 11 year old dog before coming to Peoria. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets before. Most notably a pug puppy that eventually moved in with a Chicago Cubs player for two weeks, a dog from Jerusalem with 3 cats and a lizard and a fish for a month, and many of my friends’ animals as well. I currently live in downtown Peoria. Depending on your pet’s needs, I am comfortable accommodating the amount of time you’d like me to spend with them, and often have more time at home/able to travel to yours on weekends. I’ve had family pets visit my place and have plenty of room to run around as well as relax. I keep an eye on them to make sure they are happy but also have the place “pet-proofed” if needed to step out. As per house visits I will stick strictly to the instructions left behind by the owner.

“***** I recently had the pleasure of having Parker step in as a substitute dog sitter, and I must say I am absolutely delighted with her service. While my regular dog sitter was unavailable, Parker seamlessly filled the role and provided exceptional care for my furry friend. From the very beginning, Parker exhibited a high level of professionalism and a true passion for dogs. Her friendly and accommodating demeanor immediately put me at ease, and I felt confident in entrusting my beloved pet to her care. Throughout her time with my dog, Parker provided regular check-ins, complete with adorable pictures and updates. It was evident that she not only cared for my dog's physical well-being but also their emotional happiness. Furthermore, Parker's punctuality and reliability were impeccable. She consistently arrived at the scheduled times and made sure that my dog's feeding and playtime adhered to our usual routine. In summary, Parker, as a substitute dog sitter on Rover, went above and beyond my expectations. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals were truly impressive. My dog not only received excellent care but also clearly enjoyed her time with Parker. I wholeheartedly recommend Parker to anyone in need of a responsible and loving dog sitter. I am grateful for her outstanding service and will undoubtedly reach out to her again in the future.”


“Patricia helped me out on very short notice, which was a great relief even before she began care. She provided care based on written communication, without our having opportunity to do a meet and greet. This was a first for me and my 70-pound, highly energetic dog. She pulled it off in exemplary fashion, as far as I can tell (my dog is alive and well!). She was punctual enough and, between my instructions and her intuition, there was hardly a hitch. I think you and your dog will be in very good hands.”


About: Hi, I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for my own pets every day. I’ve raised my sweet dog since she was a puppy—she’s now 8 years old and on a regular medication routine that I manage with care. I also have two cats, a playful kitten and a spirited 2-year-old, each with unique diets and habits I stay on top of. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I bring that same level of love, patience, and attention to every animal I care for. Whether it’s administering medication, managing feeding routines, or simply keeping your pets comfortable and happy, I’m here to help you feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m currently working mornings full time but free after 4:30 Mon, Tue, Thur, and Friday in Peoria. I am very flexible and available all day weekends for overnight stays so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! I follow detailed instructions tailored to each pet and ensure their overall safety and well-being. Open communication and updates are provided for peace of mind.

“Sarah was such a great sitter for my cat! She’s very knowledgeable about taking care of pets and would go above and beyond in keeping my cat’s space clean. Would totally book her again as a sitter!”


About: I love animals and have cared for many different kinds. I'm also a Pre-Veterinary student and trained Veterinary technician. I've cared for animals of all ages and can identify sicknesses and health issues. I'm currently a college student with only 1-3 classes a day. I have big gaps between classes and a lot of free time to check on your pets and play with them when requested! As a pet parent, i aim to provide for the best care for my animals. I have a dog, cat, and leapord gecko which receive great care. As a pet owner, I will provide the same love I give to my animals, to yours.

About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life. I have experience bathing, walking, and playing with Chihuahua , Dachshund, Yorkie, Coton de Tuléar, Pitbulls,Boxers, and so many more! **Prices accounted for Rover’s fee** My schedule is fairly flexible to meet you and your pet’s needs! I do ask for request to be submitted at least a day in advance. I ask for same day care to be submitted two hours before requested arrival. My interactions with the animal depends on your pet’s interactions with me. For example, if your pet likes cuddles and has alot of energy. I would match that energy with various games and of course snuggle with them. However if your pet is the complete opposite and like to relax all day, I can do that too!

About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many species of dog from small to large as well as cats. I love all breeds and I am open minded to all animals. Even the scaly ones. I have 3 cats and a dog with ptsd from their previous owner. I work nights but am more then able to adjust my schedule in order to pet sit. I will still be sure they are fed properly, played with, and taken out as needed. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, taken out and generally well looked after with lots of playtime. I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.

“Lynn was amazing!!! She stepped in very last minute and was so loving with our pups! She was great at communicating and sending pics. She followed the instructions to a T. I highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, but have been an animal lover all my life. While I started out just walking them, I began taking on responsibilities of bathing, training, and taking specific care of their health — I was always the first called over when my family’s late beagle, Calvin, was experiencing the seizures that came genetically. I am not just reliable and passionate, but experienced as well, and have an eight-year-old rescued Lhasa Apso named Yosef. Besides my job as a front cashier, I’m available during the late morning and the whole afternoon — to walk, sit, and take care of your pup. I am able to play with, walk, bathe, and administer oral medicines to pets. Special requests for their health or safety are no issue or feat for me!

“Parker was absolutely fantastic in taking care of our dog and cat! Her attentiveness and communication were top-notch, always keeping us in the loop with regular text updates of our pets's daily activities. This gave us great peace of mind during our time away. What stood out: • Reliable and responsible pet care. • Followed our requests very thoroughly! (We had very specific things that needed to be done!) • Excellent communication with frequent updates! • Handled both our dog and cat with ease! We were thoroughly impressed with Parker's service and will definitely be booking her again for our next vacation. She is a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
