“Alyson was an excellent companion for my dogs! She kept me updated with frequent photos and details. The house looked great when I returned, too. I’d recommend her highly and 100% would book again.”

“What a lovely lady! She was amazing to our brand new puppy! We didn't plan to have a new fur baby, and we had already purchased $200 tickets to a show in Denver that we couldn't back out of. Juri saved the day and allowed us a little bit of reprieve after 2 solid weeks of puppy energy. She was prompt, responsive, checked in with us every hour with pictures, and she was truly a lovely person to meet. We plan to use her in the future and can't recommend her enough!”

“Elena watching our high energy one year golden retriever and cat with separation anxiety for 14 days while we were out of the country. We came home to a clean home and happy, healthy pets, which is everything we could have hoped for. Elena was prompt with communication and profession. We had a great experience and will definitely hire Elena again in the future.”

“Nick did a great job taking care of my dog and cats. He provided great communication and was reliable. I will be booking him again in the future. I would definitely recommend him to friends.”

“My family decided to use Rover for the first time and are so glad we found Edith to sit for our 3 kitties and puppy! We have 2 bengals, our bengal girl is pregnant and far along so we didn’t want to leave her alone at all. Edith did amazing keeping her comfortable and safe. She was able to build trust and a connection with our shy kitty, and provided stimulating play time with our highly energetic bengal boy. She sent updates and pictures of our furbabies which gave us great peace of mind! Followed instructions on each of our pets specific diets, asked questions, was responsive and provided excellent communication, was observant of pets behavior, and we greatly appreciated her flexibility and adaptability. We will definitely rebook with her in the future! We are grateful to have found a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”

“This is the third time Casey has watched our 2 dogs and house for us and we couldn’t be happier. Casey is reliable and friendly and very communicative with us while we are away. We know we are in good hands when Casey watches our dogs.”

“Laurie Beth is simply amazing! I have two vocal beagles, one of which has severe anxiety and is epileptic. This dog is very slow to warm up to people. It took a bit but Laurie Beth got her to come around and even got kisses! I was stunned. Laurie was very punctual and sent videos and pictures. She treated my babies and our home like they were her own. Going out of town is now much easier. She will be sitting for us in the future”


“We love Angellee, and so do our dogs! Angellee is professional, thoughtful, caring and wonderful with our dogs! We are happy with her service and look forward to working with Angellee in the future! Thank you!”


“Britney is fantastic! Really went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable, happy and cared for. Also a great communicator - sending me pictures and updates so that I had peace of mind each day. Would definitely recommend and hopefully book again :)”


“Anna was a wonderful pet and housesitter! She took excellent care of our dog and cat. Our dog is a rescue with some special needs and she bonded with her and cared for her perfectly. Her experience with animals shows. Our family highly recommends this caring, trustworthy, responsible petsitter!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Krystal provided for my home and my pets. She came over twice before I left town to meet the pets and talk through everything, and she made sure I felt comfortable and safe leaving my pets in her care. It’s always a bit anxiety inducing to leave your babes with someone you don’t know, but Krystal kept me updated with sweet photos and texts about the dogs and cats the entire time. She also left the home in perfectly clean condition. I will absolutely reach out to her in the future whenever I need an overnight sitter.”

About: Consider me a house sitter as well!! I have taken on additional responsibilities such as collecting mail, dusting, sweeping,watering plants, yard, moving vehicles. Your wish is my command. I currently work from home. I work for the County of San Bernardino so I went thru background and fingerprint for my current role. That also helps you feel comfortable watching your pet. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pup while on vacation. I will send photos throughout your vacation. I’m comfortable administering medication and caring for animals with special needs.
About: Hi, I'm Chelsea! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first with me. ❤️ I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your pets, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re with someone who will genuinely care for them like they’re my own. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently have animals of my own, including dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do for work, it’s something I truly love. I understand that no two pets are the same. Some want all the cuddles and attention, while others need patience and time to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, respect their boundaries, and take the time to learn their personality and what makes them feel safe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all different sizes, including large and strong breeds, and I understand how important it is to stay attentive and responsible on walks. Trust is also very important to me. I’ve worked with the same professional cleaning company for about 10 years, so I’m regularly trusted inside clients’ homes and understand the responsibility that comes with that. You can expect plenty of communication, photos, and updates while your pet is with me. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering if your pet is okay. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or caring for your pets while you’re away, they’ll receive the same love, patience, attention, and care I would want someone to give my own. Because to me, they’re never “just a pet.” They’re family. 🐾 I work part time and have a very flexible schedule to help with yours and your pets needs,most of the weekends im available as well! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow your care instructions carefully, provide plenty of love and attention, keep a clean and secure environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send regular photo updates for peace of mind.

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. 🐾💕
About: Hello! My name is Kody but I go by Julian 😊 I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets, from big and little dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies, and even a couple of hermit crabs! I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets while they’ve been away, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Most recently, I cared for my roommate’s two senior cats, teaching me the importance of being patient, attentive, and consistent with older pets and their individual needs. I also became comfortable helping one of the cats with her asthma inhaler and other medical care. Whether I’m caring for a playful pup, a senior pet who needs a little extra attention, or a shy animal who takes time to warm up, I bring a gentle, attentive approach and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, with a 1–1.5 hour break around 1:30 PM each day. I work fully remotely on Wednesdays, which gives me additional flexibility for pet care. I’m happy to provide care before or after my workday, during my lunch break when timing allows, and on weekends. During the summer (June 15–August 15), I also have Fridays off and am available throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable, cared for, and on their normal routine. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I never take the responsibility of caring for them lightly. I treat every pet with the same kindness, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and individual needs so they can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications and special instructions, and I’m careful to maintain a clean and secure environment. My goal is always for your pet(s) to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.
About: I've cared for many types of pets since I was 14 including large and small dogs, fish, cats, and reptiles. I have two dogs of my own. Can provide references upon request. Currently taking care of pets is my full-time focus. Available 24/7 for any type of care needed including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, ect. With overnight care, I spend time playing with the pets I'm caring for as well as making sure they have everything they need. I keep the house clean and I leave the place how it was left. I may leave for brief periods to make sure things are handled at my own home.
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for pets, starting from my early teens in a large family environment. I’m comfortable caring for cats and small to medium sized dogs, and I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and home cleanliness. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I prioritize calm, patient care so animals feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I follow instructions carefully and communicate clearly with pet parents for peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship, and I prioritize consistency so pets feel comfortable and secure. I always communicate clearly with pet parents if anything comes up. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, and household rules to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I move calmly around animals, respect their boundaries, and make sure their environment stays clean and secure at all times.
About: Hi there! I'm excited to tell you about my experience caring for pets, especially dogs. With two wonderful pups of my own, aged 2 and 5, I've learned firsthand the joy and responsibility that comes with being a pet parent. From daily walks to cozy snuggles, I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to furry companions. What sets me apart as a sitter is my dedication to meeting the unique needs of each dog in my care. I love helping young pups learn basic commands and develop good manners in a positive and encouraging environment. As someone who has raised puppies, I know the importance of early training. Additionally, with my older dog by my side, I've gained valuable experience in caring for senior pets. Whether it's gentle exercise, administering medication, or providing extra comfort, I'm committed to ensuring that older dogs receive the attention and care they deserve. As a pet lover and responsible caregiver, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every furry friend I encounter. When your pets are with me, they'll be treated like part of the family, receiving plenty of love, attention, and care. Currently not employed, my schedule offers ample time for devoted pet care. Each day is dedicated to ensuring the well-being and happiness of the furry companions I welcome into my home. Mornings kick off with energizing walks, providing exercise and a chance for fresh air. Throughout the day, play sessions and interactive activities keep tails wagging. I prioritize regular feeding schedules, tailored to the dietary needs of each pet. Whether it's a visit to the local dog park or a cozy evening cuddle, I cherish every moment spent with my canine friends. This period of flexibility allows me to provide the attention, care, and companionship that dogs thrive on, creating a harmonious and joyful environment. In both my home and my clients' spaces, the cornerstone of my pet care approach is safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. Living in an apartment, I ensure that the dogs under my care have the freedom to move about freely, fostering a sense of comfort and relaxation. Regular walks to nearby parks provide not only essential exercise but also a change of scenery and the opportunity for social interactions with other canine friends. Creating a safe haven is paramount; I meticulously puppy-proof and dog-proof my living space to eliminate potential hazards. Beyond physical safety, I prioritize building a trusting relationship with each pet through positive interactions, ensuring they feel at home and secure in their temporary abode.

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 Bloomington 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 Bloomington 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 Bloomington 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.
