About: I’ve grown up with pets most of my life and am currently a cat mom to a 2 year old tabby named Ringo. Spending time with any animal, big or small, is a huge joy of mine! I go on walks daily, so adding in your furry friend would be seamless and absolutely nothing but a treat for me! I also work remote several days a week, so can stop by to check on your pet when needed. I like to ensure that any pets I interact with are at peace and safe. I would actively seek out any boundaries that your pet is displaying and ensure that our interactions are comfortable for them.
“Savannah was great this week with my little dog, Chloe. She was prompt and communicative. Chloe normally takes some time to warm up to new people but made fast friends with her.”
About: I've been caring for pets for 10 years, and I genuinely love what I do. Every dog or cat I sit for gets treated like part of my own family. I'm reliable, attentive to detail, and easy to reach, so you'll always know exactly how your pet is doing while you're away. I send regular photo updates, stick closely to feeding and medication schedules, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and exercise. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who'll treat your home and your pet with respect, I'd love to help. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I'm a grad student at IU, so my schedule is flexible and I'm home a lot more than someone working a typical 9 to 5. Between classes and studying, I have plenty of time throughout the day for feeding, playtime, and check ins, plus I'm usually around in the evenings and on weekends for longer visits or overnight stays. My schedule isn't rigid like a traditional job, so I can adjust to whatever your pet's routine needs. When I care for pets in my home, I make sure they have a calm, comfortable space to settle into, with a cozy spot to retreat to if they need some alone time, plus plenty of playtime and cuddles on their terms. I do slow introductions and pay close attention to their comfort level so they feel safe in a new environment. When I care for pets in your home, I stick closely to their normal routine, same food, same schedule, same spots for litter boxes or toys, so there's as little disruption as possible. I make sure doors and windows are secure, follow any specific instructions you leave, and spend quality time with your pet so they don't feel like anything's out of the ordinary while you're away. Either way, you'll get regular updates and photos so you can see your pet is comfortable and well cared for.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your home respectful, and provide regular updates and photos while you are away. I am currently enrolled in classes at IU, so Mondays and Wednesdays are my busiest days, although I am still available during those evenings. I have flexible daytime and nighttime availability the rest of the week, including weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I live in a comfortable apartment with convenient access to dog parks and several local parks for walks, exercise, and playtime. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and safety instructions while keeping pets comfortable and supervised. I will also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy.
About: I have spent half of my life watching, caring for, and spending time with animals. I love playing with pups and if I could I would do it everyday! I am not in the right place to have my own as I tend to travel. So pet sitting has been a great medium for me. I have done many overnight pet sits for both cats and dogs. I pride myself in my ability to understand what animals want/need. I love spending time outside so walks and playtime outdoors come naturally to me. No one could ever replace you while you’re away. However, I will treat your animals like my own making sure to provide the love and care they need. That way your goodbyes won’t be as hard and you can rest easy wherever you go! I tend to be more of a home body already, so I’m able to be around as much as needed. I’m an early riser too so morning walks or feeding isn’t an issue. I am a firm believer of leaving things better than the way you found them. You can trust me to take care of your home. I will create a welcoming and clean environment for you when you return from your time away.
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!
About: I've been caring for dogs for eight years! I started in high school when I regularly looked after my neighbor's three dogs for anywhere from a few days to a couple of months at a time. I quickly learned each dog's individual needs: their walk schedule, bathroom habits, eating preferences, and how to get them to take their meds. They were all different sizes and breeds, and I loved every minute of it. Since then I've expanded my experience through Rover, caring for multiple dogs across a variety of households. When I visit, I'm responsible and thorough. I make sure water bowls are filled, each dog gets real playtime and attention, meals are portioned correctly, and everything is secure before I leave. Honestly, animals are just a huge part of my everyday life. I have my own gray cat named Pluto, who I've had for six years and who is absolutely the light of my life. Between my sisters and my closest friends, I'm around anywhere from two to six cats on any given day, so pets are my life. I would have had a dog too if my parents had let me! I treat every dog I visit like they're my own. There's something so special about bonding with a pet since they're each so unique, and getting to make new furry friends through is an absolute joy. I just finished my undergraduate degree so I'm on summer break before I start my graduate program in August. This means that I am completely flexible and can come in on any days at any times to care for your fur babies! For drop-ins, I cover all the basics: food, water, cleaning up messes, bringing in the mail, making sure everything is locked up tight. But what I care about most is that each pet actually feels loved while their owner is away. I take my time with every visit and give each animal real attention, not just a quick pass-through. When pets are worried, anxious, or want to play, I like to spend a lot of extra time with them so they can feel safe and loved.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had experience with pups of all walks of life. As I got older, my friends got cats and I love a good kitty snuggle. I’m the friend that checks on the animals when you have to go out or hit up vacation! I work full time but work from home partially through the week! Usually available most weekday evenings after 5pm and would be available on set weekends for additional care beginning in the afternoons. I have a large fenced in backyard and work from home part of the week. I also have a separate area for crating, if needed. My own pup, Cricket, would love to have a buddy even now and again!
About: I've loved animals and had a childhood dog (a suspected spitz mix). But as a junior academic who can't stay in the same place forever, I don't have the stability to have my own dog these days. I would love to help others take care of their babies! I am very patient and love taking walks. During the summer, I'll be working part time teaching Korean in the middle of the day. I am available in the early morning, late afternoon, and evenings Mondays through Thursday, and all day most Fridays and weekends. I am very mindful of pet safety--my cat is indoors only and he's never escaped or gotten lost (except for a 30-second adventure when he was a kitten), and I'm very patient with dogs on leashes and won't let them pull or run off.
About: I've taken care of dogs since middle school, whether it be dog-sitting or going for walks. I've owned dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I am a student at Indiana University, so outside of class time I am free! There are days throughout the week I am not available, but most of the time im happy to work! I am happy to work with dog owners in any situation, whether it be going on a simple walk or house sitting for a bit.
“Rigby and Polly have a great time with Celsei! They love their walks and always come home happily worn out. Celsei is very kind and accommodating, and a true dog lover! Thanks for taking such good care of ours, Celsei!”
About: Coming back home from college I have been working with my reactive dog, so I am confident with any dogs. I am a positive and patient walker. I am a big animal lover, I am also very active so pet walking a a breeze for me. I am a college student so my time out of class would be walking. I have raised a reactive dog at home, so I am familiar with taking care of pets that require more effort than others typically would.
About: Ive had my own Doggy Babies and taken care of doggies for 20 years!! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, bathe, sit overnight and care for their pets. Im currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups!! Ive always loved doggies and love to play and have fun or just sit and chill together!! I have a fenced in yard where our doggies run and play. We have one small guy named Cooper. And one medium girl named Sage. Cooper is Morkie (maltese-yorkie) and LOVES every other animal and humans.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
Savannah is great with my Scout which has special needs. He loves every minute he spends with her. He is blind and reactive to most dogs. She is very dependable and gives Scout his needed good long walk every morning. I am so glad I have her to help me and Scout.
Scout has special needs. He is blind, diabetic and is reactive to dogs. Mirte has been excellent with walking him. She has also worked with his quirks that makes him difficult to walk. I noticed a difference when I walk him only after 2 weeks. It is a pleasure to have someone dependable and attentive to my needs. I needed immediate help due to a fall with him.

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.

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