House Sitting in Peoria

About: I am a current vet student at OSU, and I have worked in a small animal general practice for about 3 years. I have house sat for families for about 6 years consistently. I am from Chicago and left behind our family dog, looking to fill the void with some new furry friends! Being a full time vet student can take up a majority of my time, but I adjust my schedule to adapt to the pets normal routine. I always adjust to owners schedule, to feed, take outside, or give medication at the right time. I am unable to house clients in my apartment, but I am comfortable staying at clients homes. I am more than willing to give baths or nail trims if supplies are available. I always like to meet new friends once or twice before my stay to build trust, and to get to know the day to day tasks of your furry loved one! I enjoy sharing photos to keep owner updated on their pet’s well being.

“Emily did great with my dogs & I would definitely use her as a dog sitter again. She sent pictures & kept in contact with me while I was away.”

“Great pet sitter. Elizabeth was very gracious with changes in time regarding my last minute trip. The house appeared in the same working order and the dog was left happy.”

Anastasia E.

“She was very flexible with me having to adjust my days and sent several pictures through the time she was there. Left the house as clean as it was when we left it. You can tell she is very experienced with animals. Highly recommend.”

About: I cater to a diverse range of pets, including senior dogs requiring special attention, puppies in need of training, elderly cats seeking solitude, and kittens requiring guidance finding their litter boxes. Additionally, I provide bespoke care services for working-class dogs and domestic pets, recognizing that individual breeds have distinct needs. My goal is to offer personalized experiences tailored to your pet's unique requirements. As an outdoor enthusiast with a passion for animal interaction, I am eager to transition from childcare to animal care. With three older children of my own, I am seeking a more enriching environment that promotes outdoor exploration and animal exposure. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in robotics technology. Additionally, I enjoy cooking and horticulture, which complements my husband's expertise in horticulture science. Communicate with the owner: Get a detailed list of instructions, including feeding amounts and times, medication schedules, and any known allergies or medical conditions. Prepare supplies: Ask the owner to provide all necessary items, such as their own food, treats, beds, crates, and toys, to help the pet feel more secure. Create a safe space: Set up a comfortable area for the pet, like a crate or a designated corner, away from any overwhelming noises.

“Marissa did a fantastic job taking care of our senior dog. Kept us up to date on how he was doing and accommodated his schedule. Will rebook.”

“Rosie did an AMAZING job taking care of my old girl, Stella! So much personal attention, daily reports and details about her activities and overall health and happiness. She was friendly, professional and truly cared about Stella's wellbeing, taking the time to ask questions, and make sure that her unique needs were met everyday. Thanks so much Rosie, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, 10/10 would book again!”

“My dogs took to Kate right away. One of them is shy around new people and even he felt comfortable with her within a few minutes of meeting her. She was on time, communicative, and left essentially no trace in my home. The dogs are looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

Kirsten S.

“Jaelyn was a pleasure to have to watch our dog! She was prompt, courteous, helpful, communicative and one with a positive and uplifting attitude. We received daily check ins on how our dog was doing without us which relieved our minds knowing she was being well taken care of at our home. We returned to a spotless house and a happy pup and we have already booked Jaelyn for another visit! Thank you so much for your love and care!”

“Sid is an absolute dream to work with! Throughout or trip we recieved pictures and updates and the whole process was so smooth. Our home and pups were so well taken care of i don't want to book with anyone other than sid. Very respectful of our home and their schedule we have three and things can get hectic but knowing they are in superb hands allowed us to truly enjoy our getaway.”

“Whitney was so good with my dog Grizzly, It was as if she understood Grizzly the moment they met. I had a scheduling mix-up and Whitney was more than accommodating to help me out by staying longer than what was scheduled on Rover. She sent me pictures of grizzly and told me how she exercised him which is really important for a growing Labrador. I would absolutely love to have Whitney come back and take care of him again. Five stars all the way around. And, she was good enough to strip the bed, you don't find that hardly anywhere anymore. Thank you Whitney did a great job.”

About: I grew up helping friends and family care for their pets; an experience that has fostered the love I have for animals now. Professionally, I have done overnight home stays, check-ins, and walks. I value strong connections with my clients and their pets and I am always happy to see returning clients. I work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs and give them consistent attention. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure to prioritize playtime, regular feedings, and enrichment throughout the day. For safety, I have a personal policy of never walking a client’s dog off-leash, and I always use positive reinforcement and praise to encourage good behavior. I understand how hard it can be to be away from your furry family members, so I make it a point to send daily photos and updates to give you peace of mind that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Absolutely amazing sitter. She was wonderful in staying with the animals and even helped in taking care of a crisis that came up while we were away. I highly recommend Kaitlyn!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. I’ve played fetch with them, trimmed their nails, and given them baths. I have a cat and bunny 🐰 that have stolen my heart ❤️. Cats, especially, want to sit in my lap or lay on me. My friends and family choose me because I am responsible. I am a teacher, so I have time in the summer when many are away on vacation. During the week, I have some long lunch breaks that allow me to come check on pets. At your home, I’ll follow your directions precisely to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible because stability is key. Either way, they’ll be played with, talked to, well-fed, and cuddled.

About: I’m a responsible individual who’s passionate about caring for pets. I have been working with animals personally and professionally my whole life. I have experience with horses, chickens, donkeys, goats, hamsters, cats, oh and of course dogs. I have dog sat for friends in the past, love to babysit my parents senior pup, and have experience with a variety of different breeds and temperaments. For the last year I have been volunteering at the Corvallis humane society and have completed their training allowing me to work with more difficult dogs. I greatly enjoy walking and playing with the shelter puppies! I am currently in a transitional period in my career and am looking for more full time employment. That means for the time being I have plenty of free time to give you pets all the attention. Due to unfortunate circumstances (my landlord) I am unable to pet sit at my own home. However I will diligently make sure to follow all expectations and guidelines you establish for your furry friends when watch/walk them at your place.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 9 years of experience in dog care and 2 years of experience working in veterinary medicine. I specialize in caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet seniors who need a little extra love. My veterinary medical background means I’m trained to administer medications (oral, topical, injections, and subcutaneous fluids) and identify early signs of illness or discomfort. I’m comfortable with special needs pets, anxious animals, and those on complex care routines. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet you and your furry family! I am currently working weekends at a veterinary hospital overnights from 3pm to 4am. I am able to offer pet care on weekends during the late morning, early afternoon. During weekdays, I am able to offer pet care in the afternoons to late evenings. M,W,F I can offer pet sitting throughout the day into evening. When caring for pets, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I exclusively provide care in the client’s home to minimize stress and ensure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. Additionally, I have pets of my own who aren’t comfortable around other animals, so in-home care is the best way I can offer attentive, personalized service. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and pets with the same respect and care I would my own. I maintain a consistent routine to minimize stress, follow your guidelines closely, and keep your home secure. I always check doors, gates, and windows, and I never leave pets unattended where they could get into trouble. Building trust is important to me. I communicate openly and regularly, sharing updates, photos, or any concerns. I want you to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and in capable hands.

“Zoe was awesome. She managed to win our dogs' and cat's hearts quickly and constantly kept us updated of their shenanigans and wellbeing as we had asked her to. I also think she left the house cleaner than she found it. We really want to work with her again in the future. Thank you!”

“Paula was so great with our pup. From the minute we met her, we knew she would be a great fit. She was polite, responsive, and sent great photos and videos of our dog while we were away. She was respectful of our home and flexible when our plans changed slightly. Highly recommend. We’ve already booked her for second weekend!”

“Anne was so sweet while taking care of my Frida! She sent pictures every day, was super communicative, and wasn't afraid to ask questions when the notes I left weren't clear (Sorry, Anne). Frida was happy and healthy when I got home and my apartment was just as I left it. I would book Anne again in a heartbeat!”
