Rita was so good to our puppy! She took Ruby for a walk and handled her high energy expertly. She is extremely responsible, making sure all directions were followed. Rita was a past student of mine, and besides being extremely bright, she has a sunny love of all animals that is obvious in the way she cares for Ruby. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter with no reservations. I am sad that she will be heading back to college soon, but I know Ruby has a new friend for the future.

I had a wonderful experience with Ariel while she watched Gracie and Lucy for the weekend. She took excellent care of both my girls, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made sure they were happy, comfortable and well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my pups were in such good hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy dog sitter.

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: I have been caring for pets PROFESSIONALLY for 14 years. Experienced with small dogs and seniors who utilize pee pads or fenced yards for their needs. I provide attentive care for multiple pets while maintaining their existing home routines. Dedicated to safety and consistent communication. Gentle Leisure Walks / Potty Walks I currently offer calm, slow-paced neighborhood walks that are ideal for potty breaks, fresh air, and gentle movement. My walks are best suited for senior dogs, small dogs, low-energy dogs, or pets who enjoy a relaxed stroll rather than vigorous exercise. Walks typically include a short outing close to home at an easy pace, with plenty of time for sniffing, potty breaks, and comfort. I do not offer running, fast-paced exercise walks, or long-distance walks. I provide calm, gentle care and leisurely walks, some breed and temperament restrictions do apply to ensure the best experience for every pet. Exotics I have experience with exotics; rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, hamsters, tarantulas, birds, fish, hedgehogs, iguanas, bearded dragons, axolotls, lizards,and turtles. During the meet and greet we will go over the very specific needs of all your special babies. The only medication I administer is the kind that can be mixed into their food. Please make sure to always check not just my calendar. Also please make yourself acquainted with my cancellation policy. I value every pet and every visit I’m trusted with, and I always strive to be punctual and reliable. In the event of unexpected delays such as traffic, weather, or emergency situations (including other pet care visits or personal emergencies), I allow a reasonable grace period of up to 45 minutes per visit. During inclement weather, for everyone’s safety, visit times may need to be adjusted earlier or later depending on conditions. Communication is always a priority. In any situation that affects timing, I will provide updates as promptly as possible so you’re never left wondering. I appreciate your understanding that real-life situations can occasionally affect timing, and I remain fully committed to providing consistent, attentive care for every pet I serve. Available 7 days a week including holidays. All my visits begin at 9:00 a.m. And the last visits are done at 6:30 p.m.. Make sure you contact me and let me know exactly when you need me to make sure that I'm available. ​I maintain strict safety protocols, requiring secure fencing or a leash/harness for any outdoor activity. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked and secured. For my safety and yours, I require clear communication regarding who has home access.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.

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.

Sara is an absolute angel - she was able to book last minute due to a personal emergency and did absolutely wonderfully with my 2 cats. Sara earned the trust of my shy girl who usually hides for anyone other than me. 1000% recommend if you are looking for someone who actually cares for your pets as if they were her own.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Peoria on Rover is $14.43 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 246 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:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
