“Kandice is a fantastic dog- and house-sitter! She and our dog, Willow, had an immediate rapport. I felt very comfortable leaving on our trip knowing that Willow was in such capable hands. Every day (sometimes twice a day), Kandice sent pics to show me what they were doing. It was great to see Willow so busy and happy in our absence. We returned to a home that looked exactly as it did when we left and to a very happy, healthy, and excited dog. I would definitely have Kandice stay again.”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have grown up around dogs my whole life. I currently have two dogs at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving attention and cuddles, or just keeping them company. I love all kinds of animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone else, so I always try to provide updates and make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable. My goal is to make your pet happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away! Experience: Lifelong experience caring for dogs and being around animals Have two dogs at home (used to have cats) and understand daily pet care routines Experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving medications if needed Comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels Patient and attentive with shy, anxious, or high-energy pets Love spending quality time with animals and making them feel comfortable and cared for I’m currently a college student and will be a junior at Miami University this fall. Over the summer, I’m living at home with my family, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I work as an RBT, but I only work around 3 hours a day and I’m completely free on weekends, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and lots of attention throughout the day. Because of my flexible schedule, your pets won’t be left alone for long periods of time and will get plenty of care, playtime, and supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a safe, pet-friendly home with my family and have experience caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels. We have two friendly dogs at home, a Labradoodle and a Schnoodle, who get along very well with other animals. Our home also has a large open backyard with a pond, a front yard, and plenty of space for pets to play and explore safely. We also have a crate available if your dog is crate-trained or needs their own quiet space. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I will always treat your pet like part of the family. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Serenity had to handle quite an array of animals and personalities for us but all of them loved her… And she loved them! We have a giant dog with health issues that she handled perfectly and worked to maintain the schedule he needs. Most people are intimidated by his size, drool, and goofy personality but she snuggled right up with him and gave him lots of love. She also managed to keep our diva dog happy, which says a lot. Serenity was very communicative, attentive, and helpful the entire time. I think the dogs thought they were on their own vacation while we were gone!! We plan to use her again for the future and had a great first experience.”

“Christine was so patient and kind with our dog. She would not come out of the crate and Christine patiently waited until she was ready. Christine provided us with updates and photos every day. She spent the night at our place which gave us peace of mind knowing our anxious dog had someone with her. I would recommend Christine. She was responsible and caring.”

About: I've been taking pet-sitting for neighbors and friends since I was In high school, along with having many pets of my own. I have experience with a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, equine, fish, reptiles, and exotic animals. I adore what I do, and I'm committed to proper care and creating a relaxing environment, keeping your home safe for your furry friends while you are away. Im pretty flexible! I do work a full time job as a nail technician Tuesday-Saturday from 11am till 8pm, but it depends on how many clients I take that day as I do own my own salon and run my own business hours. So I am a little more free then some people working a full time, though I would consider that I do work full time if you have a pet that needs 24/7 care or frequent potty breaks. I feel comfortable doing practically whatever you might need from me, I can easily let pets out, exercise, crate, feed, and clean up after them. I did have an older dog myself (who unfortunately passed away feb 2025) but she took lots of medications and required lots of attention, so I'm comfortable pilling, or administering medication if needed. I’ve also taken care of diabetic dogs who have needed injections and other special treatments for special needs dogs and kitty’s! I am incredibly comfortable with any kind of pet with special needs or extra help as long as my schedule works okay with the pets needs!

About: i have taken care of some sort of animal since i can remember. My first best friend was Danger, a beautiful Pit Bull i potty and command trained at 5 years old. Since Danger i have raised a variety of dogs (big and small), cats (various breeds), my birds (Vickie and Victoria), one turtle, several fish, etc. My longest lived relative was Chewie (small dog) who recently passed away nearly making it to 20 years old! I am in the process of learning food and natural remedies that can extend the lives of dogs and cats as i truly love animals more than most people. Even having a few terrifying memories with animals, i still hold true to the fact no animal is ever evil or wicked, like some humans. If an animal is mean, it has a reason to be such a way, and all it needs to heal and become clean is a little Jesus love to let the small critter know, “You are appreciated.” This mantra and mindset has taken me very far in life, and enables me to be your Pet’s Next Best Friend! Don’t worry, Dogs are happy! Pets are my passion! i ensure you we provide everything your pet needs under one woof! Who is we? Me myself & i, i like big mutts and i cannot lie, but i love the pitter patter of tiny paws too! i know, i know.. “you had me at woof” but i cannot stress enough how pets are my passion. I am the top dog walker & caretaker, and i assure you we will fetch amazing results! Book with us! I double dog dare you! i currently work at a suit shop (Men’s Wearhouse near the Kenwood Mall) selling suits! I am in a transition period of trying to get my first solo dental practice up and running! Those are the two “jobs” which consume my time, but truly i tell you i consider neither real work as i love both as a passion. When i am not doing either of those things i am typically found deep in the Word of God, with my family, or out and about in nature or at a dog park. I have a very wide schedule as i prioritize every second of each day to maximize my time. You ever meet someone and think, “how do you do all that in a single day? Do you have more than 24hrs to work with?” If you have never met someone like this.. hello! Nice to meet you! I am happy to be the first! 🙃 I have the same approach well similar is a better word. My approach for pets in my home is simple. Treat pets as any other honored or distinguished guest. I keep a variety of snacks and treats at home, such as peanut butter, and a variety of other treats like 360 pet care freeze dried snacks, i have a few toys that seem to be popular among cats and dogs, a case of laser pointers, in case one stops working.. hate to be caught without one when the cats especially are having a good time! I try to stay as prepared as possible for any circumstance that may arise. At my clients home i do the same, and i pack a travel bag similar to the one i bring to the dog park when i frequent there. The prime difference between at home and at a clients home is i practice pet care with added, greater attention to detail. Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself, but i tell you (myself) love your neighbor greater than yourself, better than yourself, and you will do well! So with that in mind i try to always think of ways to do more, do better, and be better whenever someone graciously invites me to their home, and whatever i devise i later apply it to myself, so my overall abilities may rise, then i rinse and repeat!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I’ve been watching and caring for pets for friends, family, and others since I was around 12 years old. My experience includes overnight stays, daily pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I also have a little pup of my own named Gus, and he’s a weenie dog! 🐶 He’s definitely my best little buddy, and having him has given me even more experience with the day-to-day care, routines, and attention that dogs need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and love. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets, and I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care fits really well into my daily schedule! I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. Since I have my own dog, Gus, I’m used to keeping a consistent routine and making sure pets get the care and attention they need. I’m happy to work with each owner to follow their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of cuddles. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can know how your pet is doing while you’re away!

“Briasia was great! She helped us during a last minute sitter cancellation and was able to step in and help out on short notice. She took good care of both of our fur babes and kept us posted on how they were doing daily with pics and messages. She even helped care for my senior dog who needs a little extra TLC. Great 1st time Rover experience with Briasia! Will definitely yield use her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Peoria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,070 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Peoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Peoria walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Peoria maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Peoria choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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
  • 98% 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.
