About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have fostered 5 dogs under a rescue. I’m always the family dog sitter for when family goes on vacation. I have a large and medium dog who are the loves of my life. I currently work from home so I am with the pets at all times during the week aside from small errands such as gym or appointments. My pets all live inside the home. I have a small yard accessible for potty breaks but I also take my dogs out to potty. I require meet & greets to ensure pets who stay get along with my own.
“This was my first time using rover and Lindsey was exceptional! We were out of the country for 10 days and she made sure our Belley girl was well taken care of. She was experienced to give medication, she cleaned the cat box and I even noticed she vacuumed and washed used pet dishes. We also got multiple pictures of our girl daily and it gave us peace of mind during our trip. We came home to a happy kitty and we will definitely be using Lindsay again.”
About: Dogs have been a particularly big part of my life. I grew up with a Chihuahua who had multiple litters, and I helped care for approximately four litters of puppies, including feeding, monitoring, and caring for them as they grew. I’ve also puppy sat a German Shepherd, Pit Bull mix, and Doberman puppy, which gave me experience handling young, energetic dogs that require confidence, patience, and plenty of attention. I’ve also had the experience of caring for a dog through her senior years. As my dog grew older, I became more attentive to her changing needs and learned the importance of providing extra patience, comfort, supervision, and gentle care for an aging pet. I have some experience with cats as well. While dogs have been my primary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats too and have experience handling and bathing them. I understand that cats have their own personalities and boundaries, and I’m happy to give them time to feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a full-time student, so I’m primarily available on weekends for pet care. I enjoy staying active and exercising, so going on walks and spending time outdoors with pets is something I genuinely look forward to. I also find being around animals relaxing and rewarding, and I love giving them attention, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect while following their normal routines as closely as possible. Before caring for a pet, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if applicable, and any special instructions. In my client’s home, I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are supervised and kept in a safe environment. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and let them become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕
“Quetzaly took great of my cat! He needs some medicine and special care and she did great handling it while I was away. Daily photos of them playing made me feel much better while traveling. I would absolutely have her watch my cat again!”
About: I'm very good at dog trainer and loves to take care of animals. I have had a very sick dog that I have care of for all his life. From there I have learn how to care for sick animals. I enjoy doing morning walks with my dogs and evenings walks. When it comes to food time sometimes I do enjoy working with them so hand feeding is big for me unless the dog doesn't like that. I like to have a list from the owners to know what their pets expect. Such as if there's a food schedule and walks schedule. I do take safety precautions with dogs I dont know.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs and all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I have my own small dog who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, and I love taking him on walks and to dog parks. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I also occasionally volunteer at local dog shelters, which has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. ❤️🐾 I’m a UCR student with a flexible class schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and provide care at a variety of times. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. 🐾 I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I’ll always prioritize their safety, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own space. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve sat for many different dogs since I was 13. Family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and apply any needed medications to their dogs. I’ve looked after small Chihuahuas to big Rottweilers, from ages 13 and under. I’m currently taking online community college courses on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m available all day on weekends and weekdays to look after your amazing dogs! I think it’s best that a dog stay in their own environment so they can feel more comfortable. I will follow the rules you give about your house and pets to make sure they feel safe and your house stays clean and secure.
“Grecia was the best experience we’ve had with a pet sitter to date! My cats were well taken care of and she went above and beyond in her care. I hope to hire her again in the future.”

About: I have owned dogs for nearly my entire life and currently have two of my own, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my daily routine. I have several years of pet-sitting experience and understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, loving, and dependable environment while their owners are away. I work a part-time job as a dental assistant mon-thurs 9-5. I’m free every other time besides that :). I love caring for pets and I am looking for extra money while i save up before going back to school so i thought why not put something i enjoy doing into a hobby! I properly care for my pets by making sure they always have water and are provided with a balanced nutritional diet. My pets also partake in their daily walks to get the exercise they need!
“There needs to be more stars for this review. Jordan went above and beyond for our lil baby Kiwi 🐱. Prompt replies, photo updates of our kitten and what she was doing away from us and ticked every mark of what you would need for a pet sitter. Highly recommend and would book again anytime. Appreciate the sitter so much we did not worry at all during our trip without our kiwi. We knew she was in good hands”
About: I’ve been working with my friends over the past few years with her rover dogs and I’ve had a lot of fun with them. I also had my own dogs over the years.

About: I believe our fur babies are more than just an animal they’re part of our family! I’ve had my fur baby for about 5 years now but before that I’ve always been an advocate for dogs ever since I could remember because I grew up knowing the importance of a dog, I’ve always felt very connected to every dog I meet! Im currently a stay at home mom to a fur baby and a human baby so I’m available anytime after 2pm Sunday- Wednesday and Thursday-Saturday I’m available all day! Although I don’t have a yard my house is perfectly secured I have a pet camera for when I’m not home when walking my dog make sure to take my pet corrector!
About: I have had almost every type of animal you can think of. From a cat to a horn worm. I can take care of birds, fish, hamsters, pigs, rats, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bunnies,chinchillas, chickens, and a lot more. If you have a pet I haven’t taken care of I am willing to learn.i can do anything from cleaning, feeding, bathing, playing, walking or anything else you need me to do. I am not afraid of any type of animal and love all. I am doing this because it’s the one thing I’m good at and don’t want to get a regular job that I really don’t care about. It also helps me spoil my animals like they deserve. I am pretty young but that doesn’t affect how dedicated I am to animals. I currently only work eight hours a week at my retail job. I am a college student full time but a lot of my classes are online so i'm home most of the time. Not only for my own experience, but also from my professional experience, I know that every pet has different needs. That can vary from diet, regular care, medication, walks, ets. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I am very serious about following your care instructions provided. The way that I would want someone to care for my own pets is the manner that I care for others pets.
“Elena was a great sitter for Princess. Our kitty is very shy, but she eventually came out and I am sure she appreciated that someone was there overnight. Elena's communication was good and she sent pictures which made me feel more comfortable about being away. I would recommend Elena! Thank you!”
“Rebecca was amazing! She watched my 3 bunnies (yup, bunnies) for a week and took great care of them! I’m pretty sure they weren’t all that excited to have me back ?. It only did she feed them, she changed litter boxes, spent time socializing, let me know when the house was a little warm (during this insane heat wave), went to the store and bought more fresh greens, took amazing photos, and gave them adorable treat bags. I will 100% be rehiring her when we need to leave town again. Bunny parents- shes’s your woman!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,889 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
