“Chelsea did a fabulous job taking care of our dog. We also appreciated her quick communication and willingness to watch our dog as a last minute booking and to add on a day when we wanted to extend our trip. Highly recommend.”
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Mary Jane took great care of my foster dog Eclipse while I was out of town! I'm so glad she had new doggie friends to play with was able to meet cats. They have a great yard for the dogs to play in, and Eclipse had her very own cozy room to relax during the day and at night. Thank you Mary Jane!”
“Celsei did a great job with our cat Apollo. She sent regular pictures and had a good process for helping him get acquainted with her house. We will definitely have Apollo go back to her if we ever need to board him again!”
“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”
“Trista took great care of our dogs! We have a high energy 5 month puppy and a 3 year old small dog. We were nervous about boarding them or sending them somewhere but Trista did amazing with them! We got updates daily on how the dogs were doing and they seemed to really enjoy their time with her family. Will definitely be using her again next time we leave town!”
“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”
About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the biology department at IU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and more). I have experience with small and large dogs, hyperactive/nervous dogs, as well as senior dogs so you can be assured that I know how to handle just about any dog personality. I am very responsible, considerate and dedicated to making sure your pets are happy and healthy. I consider it an honor to be welcomed into your pet’s life and take my job very seriously. Please feel welcome to ask me any and all questions you might have. Thank you so much for considering me! I cannot wait to hear from you and your pet! I have fairly flexible working hours as I largely can make my own schedule. I am available during the week and weekends as well as holidays. I have a fenced in yard if you would like your pet to stay with me, but I am also happy to take them for walks in addition to letting them play in the backyard. I have three dogs of my own that are all very friendly and I have ways to separate dogs from each other if need be so they don’t all have to interact at the same time.
“Kelly took great care of our Indy boy! He spent 7 days with her and her family and he came home happy and worn out! She sent pictures and videos daily and gave great updates. We will be booking with Kelly again!”
“Kelsie was so sweet to my dogs and they made themselves right at home. She sent me lots of pictures which was great. I really appreciated her taking them at the last minute on Memorial weekend! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I am a proud mom of a shih tzu and and a little sassy cat. I have volunteered for animal rescues and would love to watch your fur babies. I work a corporate job 9-5 and I take my lunch to walk my dog. The weekends are usually chill and spent hanging out with my family. I have a fenced in front yard which is shared by the building and a small Shih Tzu to keep your dog company. My schedule is flexible and I can hang out with your pet most of the day/night. We have 3 bedrooms and can give your pet their own space if needed
“Deborah and Cheesney are amazing!! I can’t say enough positive things to express this! My 2 dogs (one is a puppy) loved their time there. Deborah is so understanding, accommodating, and flexible! She took superb care of them and I can’t wait to use her again!”
“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”
“Shy came back happy, bathed and sleepy— I would absolutely trust Tawny with Shy again. She even came back with the cutest paw print ornament for the holidays, too cute!”
About: I love animals so much that I made it my career! As an Animal Sciences graduate with 12 years of experience in Veterinary Medicine, 3 years of fostering rescues, and 5 years of raising farm animals, you can trust that I have seen it all. My expertise includes medical management, basic training for puppies, senior care, and working with shy or high energy puppers. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities which means your pet will receive the individualized care they deserve. *I am also available for livestock, pocket pets, avian or exotic animal care. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby 🐾 I'm currently working nearby (15min) in a flexible job where I can create my own schedule/hours. This gives me the ability to go in late, leave at lunch to let pets out/ give mid-day medications, or leave work early. If I have to go into work or leave the house, I have comfy dog beds, toys, and peanut butter Kongs to keep your fur baby cozy and happy until I return. If your pet prefers to be kenneled, I can provide a small or large kennel. Pet cameras are also installed in the house to give you the extra peace of mind that your dog is monitored even when I am away. Our home is on a quiet gravel road that borders the forest, so your pet can enjoy some tranquility while being entertained by wildlife. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. Both dogs have had years of experience with foster dogs in our home and being around other animals in the veterinary clinic. My daughter also lives in the home and is an animal lover like me. She has grown up learning how to give animals the care and space they need. My daughter shows yearly in 4H Obedience and Agility and would love to play with your pet if they desire a human playmate. While she may be around your pet(s), she will never be left alone or responsible for them. We have cameras in the yard and home to monitor the pets while we are away. Pets can be separated by rooms or kennels on request or if I need to leave for work or an appointment. I can provide kenels from small-large size and/or a private apartment for those that need their own quiet space.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
Mariah was an excellent sitter for our girl Millie. She sent us lots of pictures, and Millie looked so happy and cared for. She got lots of walks and hikes, as well as indoor playtime with doggy games and puzzles. She was also generously flexible with our pickup time. We are extremely satisfied and will definitely be booking with Mariah again!
We knew our dog Pepper was in great hands when we left her with Katie for the weekend! Katie clearly adores animals and treats them as if they were her own. She sent us several updates and photos, and it was clear Pepper was living the good life while we were away. Will absolutely be booking Katie again!
We did a weekend boarding, and my dog got along great with Isis's playful dogs during the first meet and greet! But she may have been overwhelmed during the weekend stay because she had multiple accidents in Isis's house and got into the trash can. Although it's not in the sitter bio that you can expect pics or updates, future clients would benefit from receiving photos or updates throughout the stay. I did get one photo after asking though!
Elena had good communication, a clean environment, and friendly disposition. It was my first time leaving my pets. They’re very small and young so I was nervous. Upon arrival, I felt comfortable to leave them in her care. When I picked them up after they stayed for two nights, they seemed happy and healthy just as I’d left them :)
If it were possible to leave 8 stars, I would do it... Yann and Deqi (and Shadow) were superb. My dog was a COVID puppy, and didn't get the normal socialization as a little one, and she's always been very unsure of other dogs and somewhat tentative about new people. They have changed that: she is now much more eager to meet new friends, both human and canine - she even has a new bark... a happy, greeting yip when she sees new dogs. All that aside, Deqi and Yann were great caregivers and hosts, and sent lots of photos and videos, and my pup is eager to go visit again. I couldn't recommend them any more highly. Manny thanks!
Melissa and David always take excellent care of my puppy. Loved all the photos and videos they would send while I was away for a week. Chili Dog needs a lot of stimulation and loves to chase Milo around so I always feel like she's in great hands with them! Appreciate that they have a fenced in yard she can run in and they took her on nice walks at Bryan Park! 5/5 stars highly recommend

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 117 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 IN 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.
