“Keri was wonderful with our boys. It was our first time leaving them with someone other than family. Keri was willing to meet and greet our Shepard and pug before our day away! Things went well and we will definitely be asking Keri to watch our crew again! 😃👏❤️”

“Absolutely the best! Sara took such good care of my two cats throughout the holidays, enough to where my shy kitty even came out on her own within the week period. Sara was so responsive and kept me in the loop about my cats, along with catering to their special diets. I can't stress enough how wonderful she is - if you want someone who will take care of your pets like her own, look no further.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of my fur babies. I loved all the pictures and updates. Great communication and prompt response time! I’ll definitely be in touch soon! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“Theodore is a wonderful pet sitter. We received regular messages and photos of our cats during our long trip. It was great to know they had a friend to keep them company while we were away. I highly recommend their services. Thanks again!”

“Amanda was wonderful! I reached out short notice while I was out of town and my wife had a longer day at work than usual. She did a drop-in visit for our two dogs and everything went smoothly. We’d happily book again!”

About: If you're a working professional who wants somebody to check in on your pet after you've left for work, during lunch time, and before you get home, then I'm the person you want to contact. On Saturday and Sunday if you need somebody to drop in and check on your fur baby while you're out shopping or at dinner with friends and family then contact me. 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.

Amazing with My Dog: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She showered my furry friend with love and attention, ensuring a comfortable and happy visit. Fantastic Photos: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Erin's photography skills were impressive. She captured wonderful moments of my dog, providing beautiful memories. In short, Erin is a gem. If you need someone who communicates well, loves your dog like family, and takes stunning photos, look no further. I highly recommend her services!”

About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many bteeds 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 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! My name is Rina, and I’ve always had a genuine love for animals. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, sticking to routines, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their needs, energy levels, and comfort cues. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calm cuddle session, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around feedings, walks, drop-in visits, and quality time, making sure each pet gets the attention they need. I’m reliable with timing, flexible when plans change, and happy to accommodate specific routines. Whether it’s quick check-ins or longer visits, I make pet care a priority and make sure every visit is calm, consistent, and stress-free. When caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I respect each pet’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or independent—and adjust my care to meet their needs. Cleanliness, safety, and communication are always priorities, and I make sure owners feel confident and updated while they’re away.

About: Hi! Hablo inglés y español. I work part time and spend the rest of the time adventuring with my toddler. I'm looking to spend time with and care for dogs, and as a former dog owner I know how hard it can be to find a good sitter. After I spent 3 years caring for a dog with a chronic illness, I am accustomed to all sorts of needs and am happy to accommodate them. I have also lived with and cared for a senior dog and I can work with dogs of all ages. I will only take one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family. I have a small yard and good neighborhood for walks, so can be active with your dog or let them spend the day sitting on my lap! Let me know if you have any questions! I work part time in the community. Since I make my own schedule, I can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s needs! My toddler also loves dogs. I have a yard and a home with plenty of space for dogs to roam. Dogs will be monitored at all times and all medicines, cleaning supplies, etc. are safely stored. If your dog uses a crate, that is also welcome but not necessary. I will only take one dog at a time.
“Aubry was wonderful to work with. She really cared for our pets. She helped take stress away while I was having surgery knowing our pets were being cared for. Thank you so much Aubry!”

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.
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.
“Myra did a last minute drop in visit for me! I have 3 dogs that can be alot especially getting to know their routine and food schedule. She took it on like a champ!! Thanks for the help again myra! Will definitely be booking again”

“Jenna has been awesome with our three month old Pyrenees mix! My only fear in sharing such a good review is that someone will snatch her at the times that I desire her help! LOL! No seriously, she does a great job!”

Peoria Heights cat parents share their Rover experiences
My wife and I had an excellent experience with Mayra! She took care of Pipinha (our lovely cat) for two days and did an amazing job. Communication was great — she sent daily updates, photos, and made sure everything was clean and organized when I got back. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away. We highly recommend Mayra to anyone looking for someone responsible, caring, and attentive. I’ll definitely book her again next time!

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.
