“Adam was wonderful at communicating with us and has such a kind and caring personality. We loved all of the funny photos we received and felt at ease while we were away, especially since Katsu does have rather meticulous medication needs. Adam was also clearly very mindful about keeping Katsu happy and comfortable, and respecting his needs/boundaries/quirks. We look forward to working with him again for future pet-sitting needs!”
About: Hi! I’m Michelle, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had rescue dogs and cats, and caring for them has been one of the greatest joys in my life. I’ve raised and cared for several of my own rescues. I’ve also fostered and occasionally foster failed before ultimately adopting. Through those experiences I’ve cared for pets with very different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve worked with animals ranging from tiny kittens to gentle giants like Great Pyrenees. I’m a dependable, detail-oriented person who understands that every pet has their own routine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and loved. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being treated like one of my own. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the week. I keep my schedule organized so I can provide reliable, dependable care. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the workweek, as well as weekends, and I’ll always communicate clearly if I have any scheduling limitations. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, especially while their family is away. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.
About: I have taught my dog multiple tricks and continue working on separation anxiety and reactivity. Since getting my dog I have learned a great deal about dog food, behavior, and training. I've always had love for animals, and have had a dog in the house since I was 4 years old ranging from small dogs too big dogs. Growing up I would binge animal planet and had hopes of being a veterinarian. Now as an adult, I have had Midas for 3 years. I treat every new dog I meet with respect, and of course love. I've learned to be able to adapt my energy and interactions with different dogs depending on their personality. I would love the opportunity to be of service to you and your lovely fur-baby! I will be un-employed from my seasonal lawn and landscaping job starting December 12th. I will be returning to that job sometime April 1st. I also plan on starting an odd jobs side hustle during the winter months. So if i become too busy from odd jobs I will adjust my availability accordingly and stay available for constant communication to ensure no scheduling conflicts. Christmas and new years (December 22nd- January 2) will be limited availability. February 14-21 i will be on a trip to Arizona. I take my dog for a jog every morning, at least one walk, to our little dog park at the apartment two times per day, and the big dog park a couple of times per week. We go on adventures together and explore different walking paths and nature trails. We feed him once a day and ensure he does a series of tricks and waits for the "ok" command before he can eat. We feed him a three way mix of fresh pet, Dr. Harveys, Meats, and Kibble. I intend to provide a healthy and fulfilled life full of play and love for my dog, and I will treat your dog the same.
“It was wonderful having Samantha as my cat sitter. She followed my instructions thoroughly and communicated with me in a timely manner. I was very rest assured thanks to her visit. She does take care of my kitty. I would definitely ask her again in my future trips! 5 stars!”
“Sarah saved our lives! We moved to Bloomington shortly after getting married and dont know anybody in town to watch our cats who are basically our children. She really goes above and beyond.”
“Shaun was phenomenal! He followed all the instructions we left and even went beyond them. He took perfect care of our baby and sent the best updates throughout. 5/5 would definitely recommend his services!”
“Brittney was professional, courteous, punctual, and friendly. I was extremely happy with the care my two cats received from her while we were out of town, and would happily book her again in the future.”
“Sara is fantastic! Dependable and super sweet with my dogs. Sam is an anxious pup and Sara is wonderful with him. Lilly is lazy, but Sara seems to motivate her to go for walks! We will definitely have Sara back again!”
“Madison was great with our puppy, she did drop in vista. While caring for our dog, she played fetch with her while allowing her plenty of time to do her business outside. She was great with sending pictures and very responsive with text messages.”
About: I have been around dogs and multiple cats ever since I was 5, but have been pet sitting for a year as additional income. I have dog sat a range of breeds from german shepherds to Maltese's. My routine when I go on walks is as needed for the dog, but on average 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon, night) if you live in a neighborhood/condo, may vary depending on location. Please feel free to ask questions! I am currently a senior at Indiana University, and I have classes on Tuesday and Thursdays. So, I will have plenty of time for your pets! I love to go on evening walks with my roommates, play lacrosse, read, and attend IU football games! Ideally I would go to/stay your home so that your pet(s) are as comfortable as possible! I will cater my routine to your pets personality, if they are an early riser, so am I. If they like to lounge and watch 101 Dalmatians, so do I. I am here to make you and your pets lives easier!
“Kalee could tell I was nervous about leaving my cats for the first time. She was great - spending high quality time with them, sending me great pics. It put me at ease. I highly recommend Kalee.”
About: Hi I am Parker. I am a student with a need to help out pets and their owners. I love to assist whenever I can with neighbors pets. I have had many pets over the years and love pets of all kinds. Every time I pet sit I become friends with every pet I take care of. I hope you will understand what careful love and care I give to every pet I care for. I hope to be your choice in pet love and care. My family had a severely diabetic dog for 7 years and we took great care of her. I love pets so much and try to keep them apart of my family as much as possible. I have pet sit for about 16 years now for animals of all types, from farm animals to house pets. I am a student with lots of availability in mornings, afternoons and evenings. I work a few times a week a week for about an hour and a half at a time. I have plenty of space indoors, but no yard. Close to many parks and walking spots. Lots of great areas for dog walking close by.
About: Hello there! I currently have a cat! I have had 4 dogs and 4 cats in the past and have a knowledge for administering medications and taking care of injuries. My friends and family know they can rely on loving and caring for their pets. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and curate a plan that works for you both. I enjoy getting outdoors and getting my steps in. So I’ll be playing or walking your pet depending on preference. I work after 4 or 2pm so anytime before then I’m available to walk or care for your pet! I follow any rules you have at your home that you request and I will respect them. I treat your pet as if it were my own and don’t feed table scraps and stay to their treats and food provided for them. I make sure food/water bowls are cleaned/ filled when required. I like incorporating play time generously through the day to keep them occupied.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Bloomington is $18

Lucinda took care of my cats when we were away for a week. She was very communicative, not only fed them and clean after them, but also administered one of my cat’s medicine regularly. Thank you very much Lucinda! We greatly recommend her and we will hire her next time again.
Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! This trip was the longest I have ever been away from him and I was a little bit worried about how he would handle it, but Lauren kept him well fed and gave him plenty of attention. She followed my instructions perfectly and even kept my plant alive! My cat was in very good hands while I was gone and I would gladly book with Lauren again.
Got it, here's that same style cleaned up with no dashes and the correct details: --- Kasey was fantastic with our pets! She followed our care instructions closely and took the time to play with them and make sure they felt loved while we were away. She also sent photos and a thorough daily report with every visit, which made being away so much easier. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes the job seriously. We'd book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter. 😊
We are new to the area and when we decided to go out of town we needed someone new to check in on our cats. Adam was a huge help and relief. Our shy cats warmed go him quickly and were well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you so much for taking care of Salem and Benny while we were gone. Will look to book again when we go out of town again.
Patricia took the best care of our cat Nike for the week we were gone! Nike can be needy (and sometimes will throw up) and Patricia had no problem giving her plenty of attention and cleaning up her throw up the one day she did. I can tell Nike was extremely well taken care of and there is no doubt I’d have Patricia take care of her again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bloomington on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
