“Katelyn walks my dog weekly and also stayed overnight last minute. My dog is a bit needy and Katelyn responds so patiently to her! She sends pictures during her visit and is so kind. Leave your pets with her if you’re usually nervous about leaving them with other people like I am!!”
“Camryn is seriously the best and beyond reliable, she has helped me in multiple pinches while my work schedule has been hectic. She takes great care of my Stella girl every single time and is so easy to communicate with! I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“Erin did great with my kitties. Even the hesitant one meowed and loved on her! ? Erin was able to gently administer eye medicine to a scared kitty with no problem. I trust her completely and no longer worry when traveling. Just schedule and book. It was that easy.”
“***** I recently had the pleasure of having Parker step in as a substitute dog sitter, and I must say I am absolutely delighted with her service. While my regular dog sitter was unavailable, Parker seamlessly filled the role and provided exceptional care for my furry friend. From the very beginning, Parker exhibited a high level of professionalism and a true passion for dogs. Her friendly and accommodating demeanor immediately put me at ease, and I felt confident in entrusting my beloved pet to her care. Throughout her time with my dog, Parker provided regular check-ins, complete with adorable pictures and updates. It was evident that she not only cared for my dog's physical well-being but also their emotional happiness. Furthermore, Parker's punctuality and reliability were impeccable. She consistently arrived at the scheduled times and made sure that my dog's feeding and playtime adhered to our usual routine. In summary, Parker, as a substitute dog sitter on Rover, went above and beyond my expectations. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals were truly impressive. My dog not only received excellent care but also clearly enjoyed her time with Parker. I wholeheartedly recommend Parker to anyone in need of a responsible and loving dog sitter. I am grateful for her outstanding service and will undoubtedly reach out to her again in the future.”
“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.”
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.
“Sarah was such a great sitter for my cat! She’s very knowledgeable about taking care of pets and would go above and beyond in keeping my cat’s space clean. Would totally book her again as a sitter!”
“Mairin is beyond reliable, so great with communication and she takes great care of my Stella girl, and she’s just a sweetheart! It’s nice to have people who you know will treat your pup like their own, and I know Mairin does just that!”
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.
“Kaela did so well with my dogs! My older dog can be scared but he warmed right up to her! She was on time and kept me updated and sent pictures of the dogs during the visits! Will definitely book with her again!”
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.
“Jennifer is so responsible and responsive. Exactly what you need, especially with our unpredictable 8 month old pup who likes trouble. We did three dropins per day for a week and Dash did great! Would definitely use Jennifer again!”

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!”
