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 am also currently taking dog training classes to become a dog trainer. I’m available starting Friday afternoon and all day on weekends for onboarding sitting. Weekdays: Available for morning walks Available for morning and evening check ins 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: 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.
“Grace was so great with Harley, she took him out for walks and sent pictures. Her and him really hit it off Grace is very personable and was prompt and able to stay as long as we needed Definitely will be using grace again”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Tomas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in his own environment with someone who truly cared for him. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all of Tomas’s routine and instructions, and treated our home with respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and Tomas was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”

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.
About: Hi, I'm Chelsea! When you trust someone with your pets, you're trusting them with a member of your family, and that's a responsibility I take seriously. I'm an experienced pet care provider with a growing clientele and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic Bull Terriers and gentle giants like Great Danes and Great Pyrenees to shy, nervous, and reactive dogs, I've learned that successful pet care isn't one-size-fits-all. What sets me apart? I'm not someone who simply shows up, completes a service, and leaves. I pay attention to the little things: your pet's body language, energy levels, comfort, behavior, and individual needs. I believe in building trust with every animal in my care, especially those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I'm confident handling strong, energetic dogs and understand the importance of leash safety, environmental awareness, and recognizing potential triggers during walks. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. My experience doesn't stop with dogs! I've grown up surrounded by animals and currently care for my own dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles. I'm comfortable with multi-pet households and understand that different species require different routines, handling, and attention. Your home and your peace of mind matter, too. Alongside pet care, I have approximately 10 years of professional cleaning experience working inside clients' homes. I understand the importance of being dependable, respectful of your space, and trustworthy when you're not there. When you book with me, you can expect: - Attentive, individualized care tailored to your pet - Regular photo updates and honest communication - Patience with shy, nervous, or high-energy animals - Respect for your pet's established routines - A dependable professional who genuinely enjoys what she does My goal isn't just to provide a service. It's to become someone you and your pets look forward to seeing again. Whether you need a reliable dog walker, someone to check in on your pets, or a trusted sitter while you're away, I'd love the opportunity to earn your trust. Your pets deserve more than basic care. They deserve someone who pays attention, understands their needs, and treats them like 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.
“Isabel is an absolute gem!! She sat with our spoiled pups all day and they loved her! She is a great communicator, reliable and most importantly, it’s obvious she loves dogs! I will definitely hire Isabel again and highly recommend her!”

“Lynna was a wonderful dog sitter and houseguest. She communicated clearly, followed all directions, and went above and beyond in the care for our pup. There was never any doubt in our mind that our dog was well taken care of! We 100% recommend her and will be calling her back again.”

“Kimberly absolutely exceeded our expectations. I had arranged for a sitter and the morning of she never answered my messages or calls, leaving us with no one to care for our pup and a flight to catch. Kimberly quickly responded to my request and was so kind and accommodating. She treated our furbaby like her very own and sent pictures for updates. She asked questions about our pup and his routine which gave me so much peace of mind to know he was in caring hands. He was definitely spoiled by her. 110% satisfied snd won’t hesitate to book her again next time we need a sitter.”

“We were so grateful to have Cambria house sit for us and watch our two dogs while we were on vacation. She was communicative throughout our trip, sending daily updates and photos of the dogs. We were able to fully enjoy our trip, knowing that our dogs were happy and well-cared for by Cambria. She took care of everything we needed while we were gone, watered our plants and went above and beyond, cleaning the floors before we arrived back home! We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Susana is a fantastic sitter!! She is very attentive, puntual, and paid abosulte attention to my pup's needs while she was with them. I really appreciate here flexibility and her willingness to get to know my pup's quirks and cater to their needs. I would highly reccomnd her to family and friends as i can tell she also has a passion for pets.”


About: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄

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.

“Karley was not only incredible with the pups but was also so accommodating to our location and schedule. I would 100 percent recommend her as well as use her again. Also, I should mention that our senior chihuahua does not usually like being left with people besides us but she was so happy to be with Karley.”
“THE BEST, book her! My boy is a little monster (standard poodle) and she had so much love and care for him and his brother. And she left my home in pristine condition. Thanks Maiya!”

About: Hi!! I’m an animal lover since childhood! Grew up in a household with dogs and other pets. Gained 5+ years hands-on experience walking, feeding & caring for them. I volunteered at my local vet clinic for about a year. I am currently an online student and on my way to becoming a veterinary technician. 🩺🐾 I currently work a part-time job. I’m available in the mornings and after 6pm. I love being active, so walking yours pets wont be an issue! I’m available during the summer and winter for boarding and house sitting. My dog by the name geo, is sweet and playful. He is an inside dog and loves going on walks. He goes crazy for walks, treats, and playful activities. I make sure to care for his needs (food, water, bathroom, dental, physical activity, mental health etc.) My other dog, Baby, is a pitbull. I know when people hear that they become terrified but it’s a myth! She’s a sweetheart! They both get along very well. The best small and big dog combo 🐾💕

About: Hi! I'm an animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and other animals. I grew up with Golden Retrievers and was fortunate to help raise Golden Retriever puppies, so I have hands-on experience caring for dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. I also grew up around horses, which has given me a deep appreciation for animals and the patience, responsibility, and consistency that come with caring for them. I'm currently available on a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of days and times, including weekdays and weekends, and am highly dependable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I provide attentive, loving care while following the owner’s instructions and maintaining their pet’s normal routine. I treat each home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping things clean, secure, and comfortable for both the pets and their owners.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bloomington is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $68 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 2,804 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
