House Sitting Peoria

“Caitlin took excellent care of our two rough collies! We felt we could never leave them before because the youngest has a seizure disorder and has a routine of medicine at night and in the morning. The oldest is 12 and has had some incontinence issues in the past. They both love Caitlin! The youngest had no problems taking his medicine. They both ate and went on many walks. When we returned, we were welcomed by two very happy collies. We are very thankful for Carlin and will definitely call on her again.”

“Jillian took great care of my two pugs. She stayed with them overnight for a week, since pictures and gave great feedback that they were doing well. I would absolutely recommend Jillian and I will definitely be utilizing her services again.”

About: My family and I have fostered dogs and cats for the last 12 years. Through this I have gained valuable experience with working with a variety of dog breeds. Although, my experience goes beyond this as my love for animals is one of my greatest traits. While working pastime at a childcare facility, I have enough time throughout the day to check on your pet, let them out for a potty break, or just keep them company! Depending if I have any other activities or events to attend to, I’m pretty much free all the time. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. For the dogs, we have a large, fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run and play. All of our dogs have leashes and collars to ensure safety for us and our pets. As for the cats, they each have their own litter box which is scooped daily and their own food bowls.

About: Hi! My name is Chesnut. I’m kind and compassionate and will love caring for your furry buddy. I have grown up taking care of my family’s dogs and have two of my own for the last five years. P.s. If you have a really active dog, I love taking dogs on runs or hikes or long walks. I work from home so available all week long. On weekends my husband and I tend to go hiking, so if the dogs enjoy hikes we will take them, but if not then we can adjust our schedules. We have an unfenced yard for potty breaks (leashed), but will take the dogs to the local dog park for exercise or on leashed walks/hikes.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, from horses to reptiles! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and some of the others throughout. We recently lost our dog to cancer at just shy of 13 years old, and I’m currently volunteering as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help fill that void. With the limited hours available there, I thought we could try this avenue as well. I work full time, but my daughter and I would love to find a dog to walk Wednesday through Friday evenings, or weekends! We are available some weekends for dog/cat care while you’re away as well. We love walking dogs, playing fetch, petting them, and providing lots of love. We enjoy playing with cat toys, and giving them plenty of attention as well.

“Bella did a great job watching our pup while we were on vacation for an entire week. Our dog has resource guarding issues and other quirks. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend her services.”

“Angel was timely, communicative, and overall the perfect pet sitter! We intend to use her services again and again. She sent lots of pictures, and took wonderful tender care of our post-op dog during his recovery.”

“Pheobe was super easy to work with and did a great job with our three cats. She handled kitty digestive issues and wild kitten energy with grace and even kept the house tidy in the midst of cat chaos! Would recommend ☺️”

Taylor C.

“Katy was an AMAZING dog sitter! Our pup is a little anxious and she was so sweet making sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent us updates and pictures and was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. She stayed at our place and was a wonderful guest. We came home to a super clean house and everything exactly as we left it. Wally was definitely super happy when he was with her and I would 1000% use Katy again to dog/house sit!”

About: Not only do I get along well with animals, I also understand the importance of being a great pet sitter. For me it’s about going above or beyond whether it’s sitting with the pet to ease their nerves that their owner is gone or taking them on their favorite adventure (my dog Gus loves to swim in creeks)! In addition, taking care of the home while the pet owner is away is a essential to my beliefs around pet sitting such as bringing in the mail or washing out water bowls. I am currently a student at Appalachian State getting my master certification in GIS. When I am not in class, I am looking to take care of your furry friend! While I have pets of my own in my home that does not allow me to care for pets in my own home, I care for pets in my client’s home by adapting to their pet owners needs and making it a smooth and reliable process!

“Any was wonderful! She took great care of our little zoo and she sent us photos. Great communication and I absolutely recommend her and will use her again ❤️”

Angelika P.

“Maranda house sat for me, caring for my two cats, while I was out of town for a few days. My girls warmed right up to Maranda, even my young cat who has been known to hide from sitters for a long time. Maranda even sent me videos of my young cat being silly and demanding pets. My home appears well cared for and I returned to happy, healthy cats!”

Katie L.

“Steven was a wonderful sitter. Took great care of our home and animals, was communicative, and dealt with problems that arose professionally and efficiently. Would definitely hire again!”

Sierra P.

“Steph did an amazing job with our dog and was very easy to work with. We would absolutely recommend her and use her again.”

“All I can say is Gad is awesome.we just completed a two week trip and Gad took care of our fur babies while we were gone . Our dogs loved him and he spent a lot of time with them. They are both senior dogs and need a lot of care . Pills twice a day etc… and Gad went over and beyond expectations. One of my dogs wasn’t eating for a couple of days and Gad even bought him chicken and grilled it on the grill for him . Well needless to say my dog ate . Gad is very respectful and very responsible. I would highly recommended Gad .”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8. I absolutely love spending time outdoors and visiting the dog park. I have always enjoyed spending time with animals, and have watched several pets besides my own. I currently attend App State as an IO Psychology Graduate Student, so I have a very flexible schedule. I frequently go for runs at local parks after work, and would love to bring your dog with! I have a backyard, but it is unfenced. However I am willing to take pets to any other locations, such as hiking trails or dog parks. I am able to spend time with pets because all of my free time is spent outdoors! Whether it's taking a walk around the neighborhood, running around a state park, or hanging out in the backyard, I enjoy being outdoors regardless of the weather. I am not able to take dogs into my apartment, however I have a car for easy transportation to nearby outdoor areas. There are so many great options in Boone, I will definitely find a great place to take your dog!

About: Hi! I’ve cared for pets, and made sure they were happy, well fed, walked, and comfortable as if they were my own! I’m flexible, organized, and focused on ensuring your pet is well cared for. Reach out to me for details on my availability and I’ll see what I can do for scheduling. This will help us ensure I will have plenty of time to care for your pet. I have plenty of space for walks outside, and many trails I can take dogs for longer walks. Nearby, we have plenty of friends who would love to play with your pet as well along with my supervision!

“We are so happy to have found Sydney. She was able to accommodate a late notice request and was the perfect choice for our fur kids. One of them is a recently adopted rescue, and he is still a challenge on several fronts. She is patient and loving and confident in her interactions with him. It is so nice to have the boys comfortable in their own home while knowing someone is looking after them who cares as much as we do. We will absolutely work with her again.”

Shawn S.

“Will definitely book again with Katelyn. She took great care of my fur babies. My house looked like no one had even been there. Thank you, Katelyn.”

About: Hi, I'm Heather! Thanks for stopping by. I've recently reopened my Rover profile after taking some time away, but I've spent the last 25 years working with animals in a variety of professional settings. I've worked as a dog trainer, groomer, veterinary assistant, pet sitter, and in boarding and daycare facilities. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs medications, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated while you're away. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, not something I squeeze in around other commitments. When caring for your pet, I strive to keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. Whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in yours, I pay close attention to their individual needs, preferences, and comfort level. My home is dog-friendly, with a secure fenced yard and dog door access. Pets staying with me are welcome on the furniture and bed if that is allowed in their home, though I'm happy to follow any household rules you prefer. When providing drop-in visits or house sitting, I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and mindful of both your pets' well-being and the security of your property. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets and home are in capable hands. Safety is always my top priority. With more than 25 years of animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing stress signals, managing introductions between animals, administering medications, and adapting care to each pet's individual needs and temperament. My household includes two friendly resident dogs. Because every animal is different, I carefully assess compatibility and can separate pets when needed to ensure everyone remains comfortable and safe. For boarding, I only accept dogs that are well-socialized and have no history of aggression toward other animals. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals beyond dogs and cats, including horses, goats, sheep, poultry, birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I am happy to care for multi-pet households and can also help with plants, gardens, and other basic home-care tasks while you're away.
