“Amber is super accommodating and flexible with all the odd requests that I have used her services for! She’s exceptional at listening to direction and helping with training!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a kid. Not only my own pets, but also neighbors, friends and family. Including cats, dogs, and even turtles. I work full time from 8am-4:30pm M-F. I am available to stop by before and after work. I am also free anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. Provide regular updates on pet(s). Familiarize myself with the vets location & hours. Make sure I am aware of any and all medical needs, house/pet rules, etc.
“Georgia was great! She communicated with us in a timely manner and did a great job of making sure our cats were well fed and had fresh water. We’ll definitely book her in the future if she’s available!”
“Gabrielle was great! She was available for me last minute. She kept me updated about the dogs and sent me photos that gave me a reassurance that they were in good hands! Highly recommend!”
“Martina is the best and Scout loves hanging out with her! She is open and accommodating to Scout’s needs. Whether it’s going to an open area to romp and letting him chase bugs to hanging out the porch couch cuddling; Martina is down. She is a true dog person. 🐶”
About: I have had at least one dog in my house for the last 9+ years. My mom leaves town often for weekends and holidays, so I am the go to baby sitter. My siblings and friends have also entrusted me with their dogs, and haven't had any complaints. I love all kinds of dogs (and cats) and would love to spend time with yours! I am currently working full time at Illinois State University so I am occupied from 8am-4:30pm M-F. However I am able to use my lunch break for check ins and aside from the work obligation, pet care is able to be my main focus To care for the pets, I will feed them on the interval you request, as I know some owners have different meal schedules than others. I will take for long walks and ensure plenty of exercise for the furry friends. If necessary I will also bathe the pet to ensure no mess is created in the home.
“Hannah was so amazing! Milo loved when her and her kids dropped in for visits! She was always flexible with me and my schedule! She had great communication about everything! We cannot thank her enough for the great care she provided our puppy!”
About: I have been a pestsitter since 2018. From just a simple check-in to in-home sitting for 4 months, I've had a wide variety of experiences. I am available early morning, short afternoons, and evenings. I can provide morning and evening check-ins, in-home care, and walks. I work full-time, so any afternoon care would be during my hour break. With in-home care, I ensure I get as much information needed to properly care for the pet(s) and the home. I do my best to provide the pet(s) with nearly the same care they receive normally. I always make sure to eat my own food and clean the home before my departure.
About: I have owned dogs since I was a kid and still do. I have had experience with many different breeds and ages as well. I have experience with cats but I have been attacked and they make me nervous but with the appropriate introduction I am just fine. I care for my neighbors dogs quite often as he’s a firefighter and I have been doing that for over 2 years. I have trained many young dogs but i’m not a dog trainer. I go to school full time but only attend 3 in person classes, but I can let you know my school schedule upon request. I also work part time at night starting at 4, again I can provide a schedule upon request. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities during every walk and drop-in visit. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for. During walks, I use safe leash-handling practices and pay close attention to our surroundings. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your home, and to provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. 🐾😊
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have many years of pet sitting experience, 3 years working in a veterinary clinic, and 4 years at a boarding facility. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra TLC, they'll be in caring and experienced hands. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. Working a few days a week at a local boarding facility gives me in tune and allows me to gain more experience every day! Keep in mind, I am a full time student at ISU, meaning I will have classes here and there throughout the week, but I am still available plenty throughout the day to care for your fur babies in every way possible! I'll care for your pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine day to day. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress free while you're away.

“I can’t say enough good things about Tiffanie! I was so at ease knowing she was looking after my pup. She’s extremely trustworthy and great with pets. She provides great notes, feedback, and pics during her drop ins.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Bloomington is $18
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
Leaving my three cats for two weeks while traveling internationally was a little nerve-wracking, but Calli made the whole experience so much easier. I always felt like my cats were being well cared for, and coming home to happy, healthy cats was the best feeling. Thank you for giving me such peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book with Calli again!
Jill was prompt, attentive and patient with our fur babies! I loved that she kept us posted on how they were doing our entire time away. She is passionate about caring for our babies and definitely is an animal lover. Our fur babies gave her 5 stars for the care and attention she devoted to them. We will definitely be contacting her again for future pet sitting needs. Thank you Jill, this is definitely your calling!
Jaclyn was fantastic. She provided detailed updates and photos that reassured us our kitties were in good hands. She gave our needy boy extra attention and snuggle time. She even earned the trust of our shy girl. We will definitely be using Jaclyn again in the future.
My first time leaving my kitten with someone other than family had me really nervous but Katrina made it really easy, even with the last minute scheduling. She sent me lots of pictures and updated me on how much he ate. I would definitely come back to her in the future
Kaylor was my primary sitter for my beloved cat who just passed away. I could always know that she’s in the safe hands with Kaylor. For the last year my cat was ill, and Kaylor was amazing with medication. She would also spend extra time. Communication was fast and easy. My cat only allowed ONE outside person in her entire life to pet her. it was Kaylor. I cannot thank Kaylor enough for being there. Please book with Kaylor without any concerns. You can’t find a better sitter.
Highly recommend Amy! She is kind, attentive, prompt and truly has a passion for cats. I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my fur babies. She provided great photo updates and notes for each visit. This was the least stressed I have ever been going away.
Bianca was so sweet and professional with our baby kitty, Lucy. This was the first time we had used Bianca and were so pleased. She sent a report card every day and pictures or videos which gave us such peace of mind and really became the highlight of our days. Bianca is loving yet professional and we already plan to use her again on our next trip.

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.
