“Natalie was great! There aren't enough stars to rate what a good job she did dog & house sitting for us. We were impressed from the very beginning with her prompt response to our request. At our first meeting to meet us and our dog she came prepared to work with her supply pouch including dog treats. While we were gone, she was super responsive sending us multiple pictures daily and keeping us informed when she came and went. We felt confident our dog and our home were in good hands. We will definitely call on Natalie again!”
“Bri took care of our 4 pets with ease and care. She was super communicative throughout the stay and was an absolute dream to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Ayalene was great! I have a high energy Australian shepherd that has some separation anxiety and can be reactive on leash. She handled everything with ease and followed all my instructions! My dog and cats were super happy, the house was clean when returning, and it felt great knowing my pets and house were safe! Thank you Ayalene for all your help! I would absolutely recommend her and book her again”
“Lilliana went above and beyond in watching our home and dog, giving us so much peace of mind and going the extra mile from meet and greet to when we returned from our trip! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“We could not have had a better sitter than Kelsea! It was very clear right at the get-go at our meet-and-greet that she was exceedingly competent at dog care thanks to her extensive history in dog rescue. She understood and followed all our instructions/requests with ease, such as with their diet since they needed to avoid gaining weight. She then went the extra mile by being extremely attentive to their eating habits, asking permission to alter meals so that they were eating better, which we really appreciated! Her attention to detail was impeccable. She also introduced new toys/treats for mental stimulation without causing them to gain weight (: Finally, she showed through plenty of pictures and updates how much love and attention the animals were getting! They looked so calm and happy when I returned home. If you want peace of mind that your animals are in the hands of someone who will love on them, Kelsea is your girl! Than you, Kelsea!”
About: I’ve always been the first to offer help when it comes to my family and friends dogs, although I’ve never owned my own because of my living circumstances I’ve always been extremely passionate about dogs and their behavior and I know quite a bit about them, including details about some breeds, mainly medium to large ones. Animals are a huge part of my life and I strive to treat every and anyone’s pets like they’re my own. I am a bus driver now and work MTWTF, off on the weekends. I do split shifts 6-9am and 2-5am but times may vary. I am perfectly okay fitting in your needs where I can. I will do my best to give your dogs my absolute full efforts to make sure they are happy and content. I have a lot of energy, so playing with dogs is never a problem. I can take them outside as much as needed and can provide the upmost care.
“Christina was such a great help for our three pets on short notice. We received regular updates and it was very clear from the first set of photos that our pets automatically clicked with Christina. 5/5, would re-book and recommend!”
“Tori watched our dogs while I was traveling for work. Every day when my wife came home, our dogs were relaxed and calm. That means so much to us! It was clear that Tori earned their trust, and has certainly earned ours, as well. Thank you for your conscientiousness with Carmen and Pasquali's medications. We'd be glad to recommend you and have you over to dogsit again!”
“Abigail was absolutely fantastic watching our dog Sadie! She was communicative, gentle, kind, and treated our pup with the same love we do. Abigail sent regular updates and photos, which let us know Sadie was in great hands and loving life! We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone needing a sitter and will definitely be reaching out for any future needs!”

About: Hello, my name’s Britt & I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was a little girl !! I’m well aquatinted with farm animals & pets, & have found myself to be the designated pet sitter for friends & family for most of my emerging & early adult years. I truly enjoy connecting to & taking great care of all kinds of furry friends. I enjoy getting to know an area on foot, so if your pet likes a good walk I’m sure we’ll make a great pair !! I have found myself in a transitional season of life, as I just received my undergraduate degree in Human Development & Family Studies. Apart from spending time with friends & family & riding my horse, my schedule is open & flexible for pet care !! I am a great observer & truly believe I speak an animal’s language. I’m great with sensing an animal’s body language & other cues to assure their well-being. I follow directions well & tend to an animal’s care in a timely & efficient manner.
“Jill was wonderful when we had her stay with our senior lab over Christmas! She gave regular photos, videos and text updates! This was our first time using Rover, and it was so comforting to know our pup was in such good care! Such a different experience from when we have had to board him in the past! We would definitely ask for Jill again! She was a perfect match for our family!❤️”
About: I have owned 2 dogs in my adult life. 1 was a chihuahua i had for 18 years. And 1 is the foster fail i have now. Having a dog for 18 years i was able to go through all life stages. I know how to deal with the puppy stage, the finally trained stage and the hardest one the senior stage. After losing my baby after about a year I was lonely but did not want to commit so I decided to foster. Having the patience and guidance to help a little orphan dog go through the transition of that scary time just made me attached and I kept him. I feel like going through all these stages has me ready for anything. I work from home so my dog Piggy and I go on about 4/5 walks a day. Some are short but 2 are usually over 2 miles. Pigs a Lil dude (pug/chihuahua mix) and hes the sweetest friendliest dude you will ever meet. Being a pet owner i understand how hard it is to let someone into your home. I totally get that is your safe space and to be honest i dont care about your home! I only care about your dog and giving them the care they need....Pig and I dont mind sharing our environment. Pig doesnt not have a mean bone in his body. Pig eats twice a day and goes out 4/5 times a day for walks and potty breaks. That is his routine but he doesnt mind bending to a different one if your dog has a strict routine. If your dog is not friendly I can come to your house and stay in that environment, or just come for walks. You can let me know your routine and I can stick to that. Pig and I play fetch, we go to the dog park we love walks. We can do all with your dog if allowed. I will treat your dog like its my own. I wont let anyone or anything hurt him/her and give them so much love.
About: I really enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs it's hard to find a dog I don't like so what I think you'd like most is that it as long as I'm enjoying it I'm pretty sure your dogs will enjoy it too, and I'm a very responsible pet owner myself. I've had dogs in my life since as far back as I can remember, when I was a child my father trained a German Shepherd mix how to count he could count up to 10 however many fingers you held up he would bark that many times. in my younger teens I had a paper route and my dog as a child learned my whole paper route and would follow me to do the Sunday paper. My current dog is a boxer mix and I trained him to work as a service animal just last year although he's no longer on duty he's one of the best dogs I've ever known. In addition to providing Services on rover I have spent a volunteer for the Marion County Dog Shelter for the last year mainly as a foster adoption ambassador. Dog care is all I do it is my main job I'm just finishing my certification in dog behaviorism I intend to train and care for dogs the rest of my life I live on a corner a lot with a large fenced yard I have a chihuahua, A husky who loves to play with everybody And I have a mini Australian Shepherd She is mainly a ball chaser.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Blooming is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $57 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 November 2026, there are 4,620 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blooming. 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 Blooming 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 Blooming 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.
Tip: 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 Blooming 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
