“Jenette was such a great cat & house sitter! She took care of our 2 cats in our home for a week and everything went so smoothly. Our cats were so happy when we returned. Such a relief to know that they were content & well taken care of while we were away for an extended period of time, especially since they are not always in good spirits after a trip! The house was spotless and she even watered our vegetable garden! 10/10 we will definitely be booking with Jenette again- thank you!!!”

“First of all, Yaritza, thank you a million times!! Yaritza took excellent care of my pets and my home! They kept great communication, with regular updates and lovely photos of our beloved dogs, cat and they even took care of our bird & fish! I can't say enough great things about Yaritza. They also kept the dogs pretty active, and the pets seemed very happy! Yaritza also took extra care during a storm, and checked in with me to see if there was any necessary steps to take on the terrace, and secured my outdoor cushions. That was incredibly thoughtful! My home was in perfect shape when we returned home. Great to get home and be able to just relax. Thank you again Yari! I highly recommend booking Yaritza, I will definitely re-book them for future needs!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years, from childhood through adulthood, and have personally cared for five dogs over that time. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, so I understand the attention, patience, exercise, and love that goes into making sure they’re happy and comfortable. My current dog, Reyna, is a loving 4-year-old Micro Bully/Frenchie mix with plenty of personality. Caring for her has given me even more hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit, going for a walk, or spending more time with them while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. I work remotely and have a very flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. Even on days when I have meetings scheduled, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with your pets. I do train a couple of evenings during the week, but it shouldn’t interfere with providing consistent and reliable care. Working from home gives me the ability to plan around each pet’s normal routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether your pet needs attention during the workday, a midday walk, or care while you’re away, I can be flexible and make sure they’re getting the time and attention they need. My home is already set up with pets in mind. My cats have plenty of comfortable spaces throughout the apartment, including a cat tower, a window perch, and different areas where they can relax or have their own space. My dog also has access to a dog park within my apartment complex, which makes regular exercise, playtime, and outdoor breaks easy and convenient. My dog and cats are all comfortable around each other and live together peacefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand how important it is to keep them comfortable by maintaining the routine and environment they’re already familiar with. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any other routines you have in place. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I grew up around dogs and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to give each dog the care and attention they need. I’m also comfortable following individual routines, instructions, and personalities because I know every dog is different. My goal is for every pup in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved — and for their owners to have complete peace of mind while they’re away! 🐾❤️ I have open and flexible availability throughout the week, making it easy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m available for weekday walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s needs and preferred routine. Whether your pup needs a quick midday walk, some extra playtime, or companionship while you’re away, I’m flexible and happy to help! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet stays on their normal schedule. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also giving them the space they need to feel comfortable. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands.

“Right from the very first message interaction, Mimi made me feel assured, confident and so happy we found her to take care of our two adorable cats. They hadn’t been left alone overnight for a few years so we decided to opt for housesitting and we couldn’t be more pleased! Mimi came over for an introductory meeting and both cats took to her right away! Her gentle and caring manner comes across immediately and our usually skittish cats felt safe and right at home with her. We sat talking about their routines while they rubbed up against her leg and purred loudly while she pet them! Mimi is thorough in her preparation, careful in reviewing and following instructions and so thoughtful. Our older cat takes a little CBD treat each night and Mimi easily got him to take it so that both he and our other cat were just calm and peaceful when we arrived home. Thankfully our cats don’t require any medication, but I know if they did she would deftly and properly administer it with care. Mimi also took care of our home as if it was her own! Our house was left in perfect condition! Throughout her stay, Mimi offered her well wishes that we have the best trip ever and she made sure we did because she provided updates and photos so we felt confident and informed. And those photos! You could just tell from the way the kitties were curled up waiting for their belly rubs that they had the best time ever! Mimi is now our go-to cat sitter and we began lining up next stays even before this trip was done! She’s simply the best! On a personal note, I’m so happy to have met this wonderful woman who radiates joy and sincerity. She’s truly a blessing, a genuinely caring person and we are so grateful she’s a part of our lives! We love Mimi and we know if you book her you will too!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and i believe this love translates in the love and care that i have given to my bestfriend’s furry one. I’ve taken care of my bestfriend’s dog for 3 years; I’ve loved him the very moment i saw him. He is family and I would do anything for him. I work from home full time; i have the time and flexibility to care and love on your furry ones. I live right next to the park so talking them on a walk won’t be a hassle. I’m pretty much home all the time and i would love the company of your furry ones! I have bowls and pee pads in my apartment for your furry ones to be comfortable. I love cuddles and playtime and walks. Dogs are extensions of family in my opinion, so i believe that they should have the best of whatever I’m having.

We have had many pet sitters over the years, and Nima stands out as one of the best. She is very friendly, considerate, and kind, both with us and with our puppy, Olivia. Nima sent us daily photos and videos with a quick update on how everything was going. Olivia is a very picky eater, but somehow Nima got her to eat every meal! Nima left our house clean and tidy. She was on time and communicative about arrival & departure and about when she needed to leave the house while caring for Olivia. I highly recommend her for pop-in visits with your pet or overnight stays.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bloomfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bloomfield is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 18,976 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bloomfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bloomfield walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bloomfield maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bloomfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
