Erin was fabulous! From the beginning she was warm and welcoming. She was very comfortable giving medicine to my cat and making sure she had everything she needed. I will book her time I travel for vacation or work travel!

Cassy is really great! She was very patient with me because this is my first time using Rover. She even helped us do extra work like cleaning the litter and cats’ throw-up on floor. Really sweet. We are 100% satisfied.

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.

So happy to know Kara! She took such good care of my 2 kitties - they were perfectly happy when I returned. I definitely recommend her services and plan to use her services again for sure! Thank you Kara! Knowing you were looking out for my fur babies really put my mind at ease. Your visit reports and cute photos were reassuring and fun to see! Best to you!

About: I have worked with dogs for a little over two years now. I love every dog that I meet and they are all good boys and girls in my eyes! I've worked with them all, from puppies to seniors! I make sure that they are well taken care of and are loved while their parents are away. Rowdy and crazy or calm and relaxed, I can't wait to meet your pup and give them love! I'm currently still in school and have a part-time job, so I am a bit more strict on when I am able to look after your pup, but I will always make sure to leave room for them! I can usually accept boarding any time on the weekends, however, on weekdays it would need to be after 3:30pm. I have a fenced in yard for your fur baby to run around in and a playful pup to keep them company! If your dog is crate trained/needs a crate, I can easily accommodate for that. I will make sure that your pup feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care!

This was our 1st experience with Rover and with Glen and we are very pleased. It’s nice to know we can plan an extended outing for the day and our dog can get excellent care from Glen. He sent us a couple pictures and our dog seemed happy and content when we arrived home. Will def book with Glen again!

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover through and through, with two wonderful dogs of my own who were both adopted. One came from a tough background, and I’ve had the joy of helping her grow into a happy, well-trained pup. I truly understand the patience and care that each dog may need. I work a flexible job during the week (Monday–Friday) and am usually home on weekends, which gives me plenty of time to care for and play with your pup! My home is very pet-friendly with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I have plenty of extra dog supplies like bowls, toys, and cozy spots to relax. My dogs are friendly and used to being around others. While I do crate them when I’m away for safety, I don’t require crates for your dog—unless they need their own space, in which case I’m happy to accommodate. I’d love to meet your furry family member and make them feel at home while you’re away! I currently work full time but I can leave work any time to stop home and check on the furry friends! I typically just work M-F and weekends I am home with the pets. I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups. I have all essentials extra dog supplies. I'm dedicated to meeting the dogs needs to feel comfortable in their new settings.

About: New to pet sitting, but not new to pet care! I treat every animal like family, and understand the love, patience, and responsibility it takes. :) I am currently working part-time! I am available on certain days throughout the week to do visits, walks, or daycare. I even can on some weekends! I have both a fenced and unfenced yard! I also have 3 siblings (6 and older) who love, enjoy, and have fun playing with all animals too! :)

About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many bteeds 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 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.

My wife and I had an excellent experience with Mayra! She took care of Pipinha (our lovely cat) for two days and did an amazing job. Communication was great — she sent daily updates, photos, and made sure everything was clean and organized when I got back. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away. We highly recommend Mayra to anyone looking for someone responsible, caring, and attentive. I’ll definitely book her again next time!

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.

Absolutely the best! Sara took such good care of my two cats throughout the holidays, enough to where my shy kitty even came out on her own within the week period. Sara was so responsive and kept me in the loop about my cats, along with catering to their special diets. I can't stress enough how wonderful she is - if you want someone who will take care of your pets like her own, look no further.

Alyssa went above and beyond for my pets. She came a few days before to meet them, and get training on what to do. Even though my cats were scared at first, she was very patient with them. On the day of the pet sitting, she sent pictures and explained what she did while she was here. I was very happy with her services!! It was great to know my cats were happy and cared for while I was gone.

Lynn visited my kitten while I was gone for the Labor Day weekend and ensured he was fully engaged, fed him his food/water, assisted with nail trim and fed him provided treats to ensure he was comfortable and happy. My cat was very affectionate and got along very well with Lynn. Will definitely request her services in the future.
