About: I've had dogs and cats in my home since the day I was born. I've grown up taking care of our pets, as well as pets of family and friends. I will always give your pets tons of attention and love! I'm a college student with a very flexible schedule. I can largely work around your needs and be available accordingly, AM or PM and overnight if needed. My dogs sleep in my room, I feed them first thing in the morning, take them out for a morning stroll and bathroom time, walk them in the afternoon, and feed and take them out at night before bed. I also play with the dogs regularly (inside and outside), give ear rubs and belly rubs, and make sure they have water always.

Naturally, from birth I have been very fond of & connected to animals.* I ensure that when your pet it is in my care they are treated like family. The way it is meant to be ❤️ I enjoy caring for all animals and know the kind of love and care they require. I have trained each of my dogs from when they were a puppy, at just ten years old I had an Australian cattle dog placing first in obedience at my county fair. 😄 I am highly experienced and I take pride in this field of work. It would be my pleasure to help care for your furry friend. I stay at home full time & have a very flexible schedule. I would be honored to help care for your beloved pet, at the most convenient time for you. I have a 2 acre yard for your pup to explore.

About: I have dog sit for multiple people and loved it! I’ve had dogs all my life and I always walk them, at the moment I have 2 large dogs a pitbull and a hound and I walk them almost daily. I also have a cat who I love! Yes! I wake up let out my dogs and feed them I then take them on a walk and feed them and let them out again that night. I always make sure they have water and food and make sure they get out then they need to. I’ll play with them if they want to play and make sure they get any medication needed.

About: I’ve been around countless of animals since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of my friends’ cats more times than I can count as well as their dogs throughout the years. I’m very caring, a quick learner and very attuned to detail. Your pet will be in great hands! I just move into town so my availability is pretty open. I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pet with the schedule that works best for you! I always make sure that all animals that I take care of have every single one of their needs met. If they need extra play time, a specific way that they need to take their medication, or if they have a preferred way to approach them. Making them feel comfortable is my top priority. :)

“Samantha is friendly, punctual, and our usually disinterested senior dog went right to her during our meet & greet! We did a trial drop-in visit to ensure there were no issues while we're out of state. She arrived on time, let our dog out and played with him a while. Everything went smoothly! Definitely recommend and plan to utilize Samantha's services in the future.”

Chelsea went above the bare minimum for my Reggie. Including visiting beforehand to introduce herself to Reggie, to staying longer when he was hesitant to go walking. In the end, Reggie opened up her which is a testament to her care toward him.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Bloomington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bloomington is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 377 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bloomington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

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

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Bloomington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

sitters 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 sitter.
