“Melanie has been so wonderful with our 6 year old husky! Very responsive, sends lots of pictures, takes her for walks and gives lots of cuddles. She treats Mavis like family and we couldn't be more thrilled having Mavis stay with her!”
“We love Deb!! She the best sitter we have ever had and we will continue to use her!! The care that she gives Bandit is incredible and we never have to worry about him when he’s with her!! She also sends the cutest pictures of him!”
“Sheila did a fabulous job with my senior Lab and nervous Goldendoodle. She sent lots of updates, and I could tell my dogs were wonderfully cared for and loved the giant yard.”
“Justin and Trung took wonderful care of Luke and Leo for the third time, and the boys were absolutely thrilled to see them! We truly appreciated being kept updated daily with photos and videos of L&L. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy and well-cared for. We will definitely be trusting Justin and Trung with Luke and Leo again for our next vacation”
“Amber took care of my puppies for two weeks. And she did a great job in caring for them. My dogs enjoy the companion of Amber’s dog too. She kept update me time to time, sent pictures of them (since I was in overseas and had a hard time to have a video call with my pups due to time differences). I will definitely use her service again in the future.”
“We were incredibly happy with Julianne’s care of our two dogs. She was very transparent and communicative, providing regular updates while our dogs were in her care. We were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about them. Julianne went out of her way to make our older dog (who is a bit cranky and doesn’t like other dogs) feel safe and comfortable. She was very accommodating of her needs. Our younger dog got along well with her dog, which was also great. We would definitely use Julianne’s services again if we go out of town and need a safe and fun environment for our furry family members!”
“Kat was very accommodating and we were very pleased with her services. It sounded like Abbey got along very well with her pets and the other dog she was sitting for that day. We were grateful that she was willing to take Abbey along with her other booking!”
“I 100% recommend Alysa!! She did an amazing job watching my high maintenance pup in her home while I was on vacation. She is incredibly kind, responsible, and my dog loved her. She followed all my instructions, including giving daily medications, to a T. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and her dog Oatmeal. I definitely recommend Alysa and would use her again.”
“Rae & David are wonderful dog sitters. They cared for our two dogs in early January 2023 and our dogs were so much happier with them than staying in our home with someone stopping by to care for them. They enjoyed the feel of home with people around, a fenced yard and playing with cute puppy, Winston. Very caring and thoughtful pet sitters. Loved getting the photos & updates. Definitely booking in the future. Thanks so much Rae & David.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Luna received! Chris and Erika were attentive, loving, and kept me updated with photos. Luna came home happy and healthy! Highly recommend!”
“Karan was amazing. He watched our Garfield sized Cat and was truly wonderful. Smart, responsible, kind and loving to our fat feline. I can’t recommend Karan enough. He has an adorable 15 lbs perfect dog as well that will get along great with any dog or cat. Nice place as well, so you are leaving your furry friend in the best of hands. Thanks Karan. We will use your services again for sure.”
“Bill has taken care of our cat on two occasions. He does a great job sending us pictures and updates on how our cat is doing. He follows the instructions very well and replies quickly to our messages. We will definitely contact him again for future visits”
“Justin was fantastic! He and his family treated Charlie as their own. Justin had great communication throughout and was very accommodating. I will definitely be requesting sitting for Charlie again.”
“Rylee was absolutely amazing with Grizzly and he seemed to be immediately at ease with her. As a truck driver who spends almost every moment with his dog at his side it was so nice to see him instantly become comfortable with Rylee. I will be using her services again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Lyn was really kind and Bailey warmed up to her really quickly. That’s how I knew she would have a great time with Lyn. Lyn was reassuring and sent pictures of Bailey running around in her big backyard which is Bailey’s favorite thing to do. Overall great experience!”
“Amy was wonderful to work with in watching our English Setter. She kept us posted regularly with how he was doing and he was obviously very comfortable in the pictures she shared! She was very helpful in working with us and making sure of his needs. Can’t say enough about the care Amy showed and we will be in touch with her for any future sitting needs. Thanks so much again Amy!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 25 years, from yorkies to German Shepherds . Senior care expert with thorough knowledge of administering meds to the pickiest of pups. On a daily basis I might have to leave my home for 2 hours. Very rarely am I away more than 4 hours. If your pup requires continuous care, please inform me in advance. I work from home and can be flexible to meet most schedules. During the summer months, don’t walk doggos outside if it’s too hot, but I am happy to take your treasured friend on a field trip to an indoor space for exercise. My home is my cozy and comfy respite from the loud world. Rest assured that your friend(s) will have the royal treatment, all the play and snugs they wish. We will go on a walk to the park or if you have a baby in their golden years, let’s take a nap all day and/ or stroller ride around the neighborhood 🐾Pups are welcome on all furniture, cool AC, soft beds, and have access to fresh filtered water 24/7. Yard is mostly rock, and 100% fenced in with a shaded back porch and dog bed outside for those who like to sunbathe ☀️
“Highly recommended! Our 5 month old puppy was so well cared for, and we could tell right away that she felt comfortable and happy. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos—it gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover stay and will definitely be booking again.”

Our dog was with Amber for 7 days. I was worried about leaving her that she wouldn’t do well. But, she did great with Amber. She made sure she updated me and sent pictures often to help me feel at ease. I would leave her again in the future with no hesitation. Thank you Amber for taking such good care of her.
Keandra warmly welcomed my pup into her family while we were away and instantly understood her shy but fun loving personality. Communication as well as pickup and drop off arrangements were easy, despite our slightly shifting time frames. We will definitely return to her for future dog care :)
Our dog Lola stayed with Elena B for overnight boarding and settled right in like she was with familiar friends! we received lots of pictures of all the fun she was having and love and care she was receiving. Elena took Lola on two walks, even though she spent a single night there. Elena was also a great communicator before and during Lola's stay. We will definitely reach out to her if we ever need boarding services while we're in town visiting family. Highly recommended!

We absolutely love having our girl stay with Rae and David. I know they will take excellent care of her. Winston is an amazing host dog, and River just loves him. It's such a blessing to know that she's getting the best possible care, and having a great time too! I can't recommend them enough!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Bloomington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bloomington on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 107 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Bloomington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Bloomington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bloomington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bloomington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Bloomington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
