About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes & personalities. I’m not shy to specialized care needs and love to play, walk & give belly rubs! Services include drop in dog walks and play sessions and overnight pet sitting for short or long terms. I’ve cared for two large fluffy dogs with special needs for two months at a time. I also looked after a high energy chihuahua for three weeks, routinely walking three or four times a day to burn some extra energy! I work full time in Bloomington from 9-6, Monday - Friday. Walks will take place as late as 8am or earlier, during lunch break if you’re home is within 15 miles of Bloomington, and after 6:30 pm on weekdays. Weekends are flexible and I am comfortable transporting the dogs to a dog park or swimming spot if they do well on field trips! I’m more of a homebody and love to play and interact with animals in their home. Your house rules & pet care needs will be met with respect and understanding. Your dog’s boundaries, safety and needs will be prioritized. I appreciate cleanliness and will respect your home as if it’s my own.

About: All cats deserve love. From cleaning their litter box daily to playing with their toys or feeding them on a consistent schedule, I try my hardest to ensure my cats or any cats I cat sit have all their needs taken care of. I'm currently working part-time throughout the week as well as having Sunday and Monday off. My work schedule is flexible which allows me to focus on pet care. I have a ton of cat toys and cat scratchers around my home as well as two cool cats who would love to play with any new friends. I am extremely adaptable to any requests you have to make sure your cat is as comfortable as they can be.

“Kaylor had filled in for my current walker who had to cancel a walk unexpectedly. I was so appreciative of her quick responses to my messages and of her flexibility. She handled my highly anxious fur-baby very professionally. Can’t wait to use her again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child and love animals. I currently don’t have any pets of my own because since we just put our two old poodles down I’m currently retired and have an open and flexible schedule. Weekends, weekdays, mornings, middays, and nights. I’m generally not available from midnight to 6 AM As a retired pet lover with a flexible schedule, I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I stick to their normal routine—meals, walks, playtime, and even meds if needed—to keep things low-stress while you’re away. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and always treat your pets and your home with respect. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, I provide the same loving care I’d want for my own pets

About: I am an Animal Science Major at ISU and worked at a vet clinic recently! I am looking forward to having process in my career and loving what I do best! I am full time in school and the rest of the day throughout homework and studying I’m up and about with my animals fitting in their needs and care. I value their space when giving me signals of stress and being overwhelmed as very excited with them when that is what they need. Full energy dogs are so loving and we have the best time as well as calm and old souls who needs more naps.

About: I grew up caring for my own pets and watching others, so pet care has always been part of my life. I’ve cared for both playful puppies and elderly dogs, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adjust care to each dog’s needs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on comfort, safety, and trust. I work part-time as a barista and am a full-time student, but I intentionally build pet care into my routine. I’m available between classes and before or after work to care for your pets, and I can provide reliable care any day of the week. I respect your home and your pet’s routine as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, medications, and house rules. I make sure pets are always secure, doors and gates are checked, and their environment stays clean and calm. I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for in your home.

About: I have volunteered at the Animal Protective League for many summers, so I have lots of experience with cats/kittens, puppies, and dogs big and small. I have a sweet Shih Tzu-schnauzer named Lexi, and she is 12 years old. I adore working with animals, and have taken care of many furry loved ones. From friends to family, they have trusted and relied on me to take great care of their furry friends! My schedule is flexible to your pet needs. Throughout the school week I find time to spend with your furry friends and mine. On weekends I get up early and have ample amounts of time to check in, or walk your pets when needed! I have a large fenced yard, with my very friendly dog Lexi. She can roam, and use the restroom freely (since I pooper-scoop my yard daily), and she has lots of room to play. If your dog needs to be put in or taken out of a crate, I can do that. My main goal is that the pets are safe, loved, and keep their tails wagging!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bloomington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Bloomington is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 293 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bloomington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bloomington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bloomington. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
