“Edith was FANTASTIC! She did a great job looking after our girls while we were away and kept them safe and happy. She asked our communication preferences and did a great job keeping us updated on our dogs throughout our time away.

“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”

She as booked with us last minute on new years which was amazing help to us. My house was also how I left it. Would definitely book again. Thank you Mae.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds for over 20 years, starting when I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with puppies, high-energy dogs, and more calm or senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and unique needs—whether that means lots of playtime, cozy cuddles, or sticking to a structured routine. I truly enjoy building a bond with every pet I care for and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my presence.

I’m available for check-ins, walks, and quality time after my shifts, and I can also accommodate weekend care. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to making sure your pet’s routine stays consistent. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every home I care for. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure pets are secure at all times, whether that means properly leashing during walks or ensuring doors and gates are closed. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel at ease while you’re away.

From daily walks and playtime to administering medication and managing special diets, I’ve worked with dogs for most of my life. I've had 2 chihuahuas and currently 4 golden retrievers. I'm currently off work for the summer but work full time at the school district. I am available until August 11th for full time and once school starts, I will be available after 3:30 and all weekend long. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with careful attention to their physical and emotional well-being. I prioritize secure environments—whether in your home or mine—ensuring clean spaces, hazard-free zones, and constant supervision. Building trust with both pets and their owners is key, which is why I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences. With calm, consistent handling and a genuine love for animals, I create a comforting, stress-free space where pets feel safe, happy, and truly at home.
“Lynette was wonderful with my fur babies. Because my doggies are older and require extensive care, I am very nervous about leaving them. Lynette made me feel comfortable. She tended to their needs and provided the extra care they needed. She is also extremely reliable, which is hard to find. I appreciate her so much!”

“Felipe did a fantastic job taking care of our puppy, Bambino. From the moment he arrived, it was clear that he genuinely cared about Bambino’s well-being and comfort. He kept us informed throughout the entire stay, provided regular updates, and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Bambino was happy, well cared for, and received lots of attention. Felipe was professional, reliable, and very attentive to our puppy’s needs. We truly appreciated his communication and the care he provided. I highly recommend Felipe to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future bookings. Thank you, Felipe, for taking such great care of Bambino! 🐾🐶 5/5 Stars. Highly Recommended.”

“Renea is a wonderful sitter to our dog Rocket. Rocket can take some time to warm up to new people, but he warmed up to Renea faster than anyone I’ve ever seen! She is very caring, great with rescues and judging behavior, respectful of our apartment, and responsive. Thank you Renea!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bloomington on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,832 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bloomington. 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 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.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bloomington. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
