“We are very happy with the care our cats got while we were gone. We will definitely contact Keri the next time we need a sitter. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter.”
“Emily is an excellent cat sitter! She was very professional and took great care of my babies while I was away. She’s very trustworthy and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing the kitties were in good hands. I will most definitely be calling her again!”
“She was a great person to come see my cats. I'd call myself and pets on the higher maintenance type of situation and she was able to hand it all like a champ. She had to medicate 2 of them and was successful, spending how ever much time she needed to get them to take their meds. Very communicative and able to follow directions!”
“Kara was amazingly responsive and jumped in to help me out in a pinch last-minute. She sent me a photo when she was snuggling with my girl, Z. I could tell my cat was in better spirits having had the drop-in while I was gone ? definitely will be reaching out again and would recommend Kara.”
“Regan is a wonderful pet sitter. He did drop in visits for us and was great at communicating with us and giving us updates. He took great care of our rabbit and everything was so clean when we got home. He took in our mail which was totally above and beyond. Absolutely booking with Regan again.”
“Noemi was great! She took care of our two Bengal cats while on vacation, and it was a huge relief to have our anxious boy be so relaxed when we came home. The litterbox was clean, and we received regular updates and photos. We highly recommend her!”
“Patricia helped me out on very short notice, which was a great relief even before she began care. She provided care based on written communication, without our having opportunity to do a meet and greet. This was a first for me and my 70-pound, highly energetic dog. She pulled it off in exemplary fashion, as far as I can tell (my dog is alive and well!). She was punctual enough and, between my instructions and her intuition, there was hardly a hitch. I think you and your dog will be in very good hands.”
“Thanks Heather for watching our two cats! Everyone was happy and healthy when we returned and Heather was very accommodating with a last minute change to the booking.”
About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many species 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 nights 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.
About: Hi, I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for my own pets every day. I’ve raised my sweet dog since she was a puppy—she’s now 8 years old and on a regular medication routine that I manage with care. I also have two cats, a playful kitten and a spirited 2-year-old, each with unique diets and habits I stay on top of. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I bring that same level of love, patience, and attention to every animal I care for. Whether it’s administering medication, managing feeding routines, or simply keeping your pets comfortable and happy, I’m here to help you feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m currently working mornings full time but free after 4:30 Mon, Tue, Thur, and Friday in Peoria. I am very flexible and available all day weekends for overnight stays so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! I follow detailed instructions tailored to each pet and ensure their overall safety and well-being. Open communication and updates are provided for peace of mind.
“Cassandra was absolutely wonderful for my two cats while I was away. She left such detailed updates, provided amazing pictures & and me feel as though I was still with them day to day. Couldn't have asked for a better Rover!!! Thank you 🙌🏽🐱🤍”
About: I have had animals my entire life from the time I was born to now. My first word was our dog at the time’s name, Heidi. I worked in the East Peoria PetSmart Grooming Salon for 3.5 years as a dog bather. I would love to meet your furry family member and get to look after them when needed. Thank you!! I have a full time job from 8 to 5. I am typically home most other times, rarely going out. I have a partner that lives with me and he is an animal lover as well and he often gets home before me by a couple of hours. I have 1 small friendly dog and 2 dog friendly cats. The animals are allowed in all areas and furniture of the house, however, I can crate if needed. I have a small crate in my house for dogs up to 20 pounds. I have a fenced in yard and can do daily walks as well.
About: Thanks for the interest! Let me share about myself; I've raised litters of puppies until adoption. Weening, training, bathing, and vetting. I have provided simple training up to service dog training. I've learned over many years how to interpret dog language and behaviours as well as a lot of cat language and behaviour. Before moving to Peoria, I had a well maintained large fish aquarium with a dozen different fish. Animals are a big part of my life and helping others care for their furry family members. Its my passion to teach and help and it would be my pleasure to lend a hand in your busy schedule. I come handy with my own treats, bags, and extra leashes if needed! Have any questions? Please let me know!! My schedule is flexible around my CareGiving work. I walk my own dog at the park as much as I can with her age. I also leash walk my cat! Any rules I am given are followed. I'm big on following directions when given, otherwise it's all about the pet! Do they want to play, just be pet, be left alone? I'm here to indulge them and lock up before I go.
“Edward seems to have loved his visits from Jennifer! He was happy when we got home and the pictures from his visit were adorable. He got his favorite belly rubs! I will definitely reach out to Jennifer in the future and would recommend her and Jean to anyone needing care for their pet. They even brought in our packages which was extra nice. We are glad to have met Jennifer and Jean through rover! We really enjoyed and appreciated meeting them before the visits too.”

From our first meeting, I could tell she truly cared and took the time to learn everything about my pet’s routine, preferences, and personality. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pet, who can be a little shy, quickly warmed up to Mayra a true testament to her gentle and kind nature. When I returned, everything was spotless, and my pet was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Elizabeth S.
“Honest, caring person who truly loves animals. She took great care of my cats while I was away on business. They don't come out and take to use anyone and she had them all loving her within 30 minutes during the initial visit. Just because they are cats, doesn't mean they don't need attention. She played with them, made sure they had food, water and cleaned the liter box. It's nice to have someone that you can trust. I had peace of mind knowing my babies were doing well while I was away and were well cared for. Lizzy is now our go to and takes the cats to vet appointments as well. So nice to know I can schedule someone that loves animals as much as we do. I definitely recommend if you want a trusting, caring individual who knows how to truly care for pets.”
