About: Please only request if your dog is crate trained! They will only be in there briefly if I have to leave and overnight while sleeping (my two dogs take up most of the bed, so it is hard to fit a third unless they are tiny).

I have a pretty big fenced in yard that is perfect for any dog to run around in! I can also provide lots of toys for inside, and the dogs are free to run around the house and play wherever they’d like. As for dogs or cats in your home, I am entertained easily and can sit and enjoy their company if they prefer a quiet environment, or I will play with them if they want to do that. I can adjust to their preferences.
About: Throughout my pet care journey, I have been fortunate to share my life with remarkable furry companions. As a devoted caregiver, I had the privilege of caring for Dani, a beloved dog who brought immense joy to my childhood. For ten wonderful years, I walked her faithfully, provided daily nourishment, and created cherished memories together until she passed away from cancer. Today, my pet family includes two delightful kittens who bring boundless energy and affection into my home. I take great pleasure in feeding, playing, and nurturing them, ensuring their well-being and happiness. With a professional approach and genuine love for animals, I am committed to delivering exceptional pet care experiences. The lessons learned from Dani's companionship and the joy my kittens bring inspire me to provide attentive and compassionate care to every furry friend entrusted to my care. I work as a night-shift nurse only 3 times per week! I have lots of availability in my off time. Pretty flexible schedule. Can take care of during the day. I have an SUV, can transport myself and pets if needed! As a devoted pet caregiver, I offer exceptional care both in my own apartment, which includes a large common outdoor space, and in clients' homes. With a deep love for animals, I prioritize their well-being by providing a safe, nurturing environment. Whether it's engaging in interactive play, maintaining feeding schedules, or administering medications, I am dedicated to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. My passion for this job stems from a genuine understanding of the special bond between pets and their owners. With my reliable and personalized care, I aim to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, giving them peace of mind knowing their furry companions are in capable hands.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
Calli is so very thoughtful and kind! My pup usually takes a lil while to settle around new folks but she *immediately* loved up on Calli who was gentle but confident and exuded warmth through and through. He took her on two long, sniffari walks and she came back happy and tuckered out - the dream! Callie also met and played with BOTH of our kitties, including our lil girl who usually takes about a week to honor new people with eye contact let alone pets. Calli is a pet-whisperer and we can recommend him enough!!
Vicky is wonderful. She is dependable and always responds promptly. She has walked my dog several times. She always sends pictures and I feel confident that my dog is well cared for by Vicky and enjoys his time with her. Vicky is trustworthy and I feel very comfortable with her going into my home when I am not there to care for my dog. I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Bloomington on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Bloomington.

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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bloomington. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
