About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have always had a genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I've fostered dogs in the past. I'm able to provide plenty of time and attention to pets in my care after work and on weekends. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I'm happy to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible to help keep them comfortable. Your pets safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment. I am happy to follow your pets usual routine, house rules, feeding instructions, and any special care needs. I always make sure doors, gates, and outdoor areas are secure and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a dog and other pets and have lived with friends who have dogs. I am a former cat owner so I understand the importance of taking care of animals and the love and attention they need. I am willing to do some physical activity such as hikes or fun at the dog park or walk around the block. I love to play with animals. I am attentive to feeding schedules and experienced in administering oral medicine to animals as well. I think overall, I have a great ability to connect with dogs and cats and care with compassion. I am respectful of boundaries and am willing to pick up and bag poop which I know many people just do not like to do. I am an uber driver and delivery personnel so I have availability most of the time since I set my own schedule. I would be available for a normal schedule starting at 9am or 10am. I can follow protocol if dogs need to be crated, cats need high level of play in order to sleep at night. I pay attention to detail.

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 󠁺 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” 󠁺 Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. 󠁺 Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕‍🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).

About: I have had up to 6 dogs at one time. I used to volunteer at the Bloomington animal shelter and was a dog walker. I’ve fostered and rehomed many dogs, as well as done dog sitting for friends. My cat and dog both get along with dogs and love having friends play and snuggle with. I am a social worker who works out of my home. I do travel for work some days, but never over night. I have a flexible schedule and days where I do not travel at all. I’m home most weekends and evening. I have a 7 year old son, so work around school hours. I’m the owner of a lazy fluffy cat and a very loving and playful husky who loves making new friends and having someone to run and play with. I have a large addition in the back of my home, including a kid room, as well as many areas where dogs can stay separated if needed. I also have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for dogs to play. I have very few rooms with carpet, so accidents are never an issue (because they happen!)

About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent years caring for them. Growing up, I regularly looked after stray animals in my home country by making sure they had food, water, and care whenever I could. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I’ll take the time to make them feel comfortable and follow their routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I’d want for my own pet. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is happy and safe. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I can work around classes and accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits whenever possible. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, feed your pet, refresh water, clean litter boxes, play with them, and make sure they receive plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll always communicate clearly and send updates so you know your pet is doing well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I’ll respect their routine and let them interact at their own pace. I’ll carefully follow all feeding and care instructions, keep your home clean and secure during visits, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I’ll also send photos and updates after each visit for your peace of mind

Mariah is invaluable! We really appreciated her thoughtful care of our cats while we were away. They were mischievous during our absence and Mariah was very gracious and had a great sense of humor about their antics. She was communicative, friendly and clearly cares a lot about animals. We felt much better about being away with them in her care.

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.

Vivian took great care of our cat! She clearly made the effort to really give him all of the attention and playtime possible during the drop-in and that's easily the most interaction he has been given by a pet sitter. He can be a little shy but warmed up quick.

Kathryn was very attentive and flexible with my dog, Goose. We just moved to the area so people, places, and things felt very new to him. Kathryn did a great job easing into his surroundings and making sure he was comfortable. She took the time to play, walk, and give him treats. Thankful for Kathryn’s communication throughout the week that gave this “first timer” peace of mind!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 386 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bloomington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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 dog, 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.

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:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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.
