Selena was a great pet sitter! I had a lot of questions as a first-time Rover user, and she was very quick to respond to all my communications. My cats were in great hands with her while we were out of town.

About: I have had a family dog in my house for almost all of my life. Whenever family or neighbors need a pet sitter I’d always be willing to help out. I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs! Currently I have a 2 year old dog and 3 year old cat so I’m used to the young and energetic pets. I’m currently going to school for dental hygiene but would love to be in the company of cute pets! I have a lot of free time outside of school that I’d love to fill with taking care of some fun animals! I base my care for pets off of the detailed care instructions that are left for me by pet owners. I always leave the house exactly how I found it.

About: I have grown up with both small and large dogs as well as puppies. I also have a cat of my own for five years. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible! I can leave on breaks to go check on them or stay at your house overnight to watch them. I live very close to walking trails to take them on walks. I can stay at your place to make sure someone is there to keep them company. I am open to walk/play with them as much as they need. I will take care of them like they are my own pet.

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and a chinchilla! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! We currently work 4 days a week leaving Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to watch and care for your animals. My boyfriend is an early riser and I’m a night owl, so you’re pet will have plenty of time to get the care they need. We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

About: Hi I’m Reise!! I am experienced with caring for cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and hamsters. I have rescued quite a few furry friends over the years and found them amazing FUR-EVER homes! ❤️ I’m not looking to foster at this time but wouldn’t mind boarding a dog or two here and there while their people are on vacation or work trips! I could also do house visits as well as walking. I’m really down for anything and love animals. I have 2 dogs right now but I love animals so much it’s my passion to make a small difference and find animals close to home to work with and take on walks while their owner may be busy. I’m a stay at home mom, so when I say I have the free time I really mean it and would love to help. I hope you choose me to care for your pet, I really look forward to talking with and meeting you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!! :) I am free all the time!!! I’m a stay at home mom. Sundays we usually have family time for a few hours and like to have breakfast all together.. other than that I am free! :) My dogs have a fenced in yard and run to ensure their safety while playing outside. It’s not that I feel my dogs are unsafe, but you never know how someone else’s dog walking by might react when there are dogs outside already. I use StarMark collars on my dogs, these collars guarantee that they won’t and can’t really slip away, these collars are great especially if your dog pulls, my dog used to pull a lot and I was able to get him to do great while walking. I love being able to work with dogs 1 on 1 at first so they can get learn to trust me and feel safe!! Both of my dogs are extremely friendly. Bear is the most gentle giant and Daisy is just the sweetest girl ever. I would love to get to know you & your animals.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from playful puppies to mellow seniors. I’m comfortable with crate routines, medication administration, and high-energy breeds that need extra playtime or structured walks. Whether your dog loves belly rubs, fetch marathons, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs. I treat every pup like my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised while you’re away. I am home all day as I work remotely! I take several breaks throughout the day to make sure the animals are taken care of. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 18 chickens. Our animals are out and about all day in our home and our chickens have a coop outdoors. We are always outside with our animals to ensure safety.

About: I was a trained volunteer dog walker for 3 years while I pursued my undergraduate degree. In graduate school, for 4 years, I was the designated pet sitter for the graduate students, several faculty, and various people in Carbondale, IL. Now, I am the first person my friends, family, and acquaintances call when they need a pet sitter or someone to walk their dogs during the day. I've met many people in Peoria through recommendations to watch their homes and care for their pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, all types of cats with different temperaments and needs, and some experience with rodents as well. I have also made house calls to help bathe dogs, clip their nails (cats too if needed!), brush their teeth, and other grooming needs. I am committed to doing my absolute best to care for your pets in any and all ways needed whether that's a long walk several times each day, a hike, an afternoon cuddle, a dance session in the kitchen, belly rubs, chin scratchies, or just someone to constantly shower your pet with love and joy while you're away doing what you need! I am the owner of Radish Kitchen in Peoria, and my schedule is very flexible. I am able to step away as often as needed throughout the day as long as I have at least 2 days notice on what your pets needs will be. If I am staying the night at a house it is very simple to make my way there after work. If I am leaving in the afternoon or several times throughout the day I can do so. My schedule is flexible and can be as accommodating as needed with enough notice. I have a dog and three cats at my own home. We have a fenced in yard, but I also walk my dog at least 4 times every day. My cats have plenty of places to nap, run, play, and watch birds throughout our home.

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who loves pets of all species and sizes! I have 4 years of experience in the veterinary field with 2 years of veterinary technician schooling. I have had a dog since I was around 4 or 5 and ever since then I have loved animals beyond measure! I have pet sat for multiple people in my area. I can accurately feed, medicate, walk, bathe, bandage, recognize signs of emergency, perform CPR (in only the most extreme cases), etc for any pet needed I will soon be home a lot more often. While I do have to take care of my pets at home, I will be free most days through the week and I can do overnights on occasion. I am not comfortable bringing other pets into my home to meet my animals due to them being easily stressed. I will happily walk, spend the day with, snuggle your pets in your home or in public.

I recommend Dylan to care for any pets. She grew up with dogs and was always loving and took care of them. Adopted a dog from a shelter and took very good care of him. When we had to go somewhere over night she would come and take care of our two dogs with no problems.
