“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.”

About: I have several years of professional experience working in pet stores, which has provided me invaluable hands-on experience with a wide variety of species. However, I hold myself to a much higher standard than what is typically expected in a retail setting. My passion for working with animals is rooted in deep empathy and a continuous commitment to self-education. I am capable of administering medications, providing first aid, and accommodating pets with disabilities. I am also trained in identifying common health issues such as fleas, ringworm, heat stress, and others. Other relevant experience include years of dog walking and pet sitting for friends, 4-H rabbit projects, volunteer work for the National Park Service, a letter of recognition from a former governor for promoting animal conservation, and a certificate in rat tickling from Purdue University. My schedule is very flexible for any time of day, any day of the week. I am open to working holidays. I can usually work around last-minute arrangements and schedule changes. Foremost, I am respectful of your personal property and privacy. Hygiene/cleanliness for your pet, your home, and for myself is also a priority. I understand if you have cameras in your home for peace of mind. I am happy to regularly check in with you and send photos as well.

About: I’ve taken care of different sizes and breeds of dogs since I was 4! I also work at Three Dog bakery and work with dogs all the time. I usually will volunteer my free time to help at local shelters! I’m currently in school full time at IU Bloomington. I am willing to travel to pet sit/house sit when I don’t have classes. I adore being around animals, so trust they will be loved and cared for! I own a black labradoodle and I’ve had many pets in the past that lived their full lives. I’ve always been passionate for animals and will always advocate for them!

About: I have owned pets since I was small and have been pet sitting professionally for 5 years. I am completely trustworthy in your home and with your pets. I will do all tasks to your specifications and understand that each pet owner has their unique way of doing things and will keep it the same. I will keep your house very clean while you are away. I wash pet dishes each day, change all water dishes each day. I am up for walks and playing with toys and will give as much petting as your pet prefers. I will keep you in close contact with daily updates and photos. I am fine with senior dogs and giving medication as well. I am a mom with grown children out of the house and will be solid for you. I have a flexible schedule and will work with your preferred times for me to come. I don't do overnight stays (but can recommend someone who does) but can come several times a day if that works for you and your pet. In your home I will always check that all doors are securely locked when I leave and always do a quick sweep of the home to make sure nothing is amiss and that the pets have not gotten into any trouble. I am completely trustworthy and would never take anything from your home or even look in your cabinets. I will keep your house clean, pet dishes cleaned each day, litter boxes cleaned twice a day, and anything else you specify for your pet. Pets will get my undivided attention while I am with them and utmost care.

About: Patient, Attentive, Problem Solver, Caring, Love Each Pet Like My Own, Punctual and Consistent, Communicative, Will Understand Each Individual Pet’s Needs, Comfortable Administering Medicine, Fun! My schedule fluctuates throughout the year depending on how many hours I am working and what my classes look like. For the summer, I am pretty flexible, I do have a part time job in the evenings, usually Thursday-Sunday 4-anywhere from 8-11pm. Definitely message me about evening bookings within those days so I can check my schedule or work with my other job to accommodate to you! I also have a campus job in the summer, so throughout the week I have short shifts in the morning/early afternoons sometimes, but those are pretty easy to work around. Let me know if you have any questions! I would love to be given a run down of your pets regular daily lifestyle and what I should watch out for or what will help them get comfortable with me! I will follow directions attentively and keep up on whatever schedules you have your little friend on already to make your lives as easy as possible.

About: FOR HOUSE & DOGSITTING: - I work remotely full-time so I'll be staying with your dog(s) in your house the whole time aside from normal outings (e.g. grocery shopping, grabbing dinner with a friend, etc.). - I have cared for several local friends' dogs and homes over the past 15 years, and have done pet & house sits in other states via TrustedHousesitters since 2023. - I'm allergic to cats so only interested in sitting for dogs. - I'm happy to look after your plants, but I'd like instructions because I have been known to get overexcited with the watering for my own plants. Ha! FOR WALKS & DROP-IN VISITS: - My remote schedule is usually quite flexible so I'm happy to work around your pet's normal schedule. For housesitting: I work remotely full-time so I'll be staying with your dog(s) in your house the whole time aside from normal outings (e.g. grocery shopping, grabbing dinner with a friend, etc.). My work is usually quite flexible so I can probably let them out or take them for a walk on their normal schedule. I'm happy to walk and feed your dogs, and give them attention and affection and play. I'll provide you with photos and videos. I'm not able to host dogs in my own home due to rental specifications.

About: Gotten into dog/cat/fish sitting within the last few years after getting tired of working in fast food. My Roommate/best friend is also a dog sitter and dog trainer. I'm currently only getting summer hours at my night job, so being able to help others by having fun or hanging out with their pets by going to the park is kinda the dream?? I have a chunky cat that would rather cuddle your furbaby and chill on the couch then run around but I have a big back yard and neighborhood with lots of trees to be on. Plus I just hit 30 so I need a reason to walk around in the daylight hours.

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.

About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!

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 always loved animals and have plenty of experience caring for them. I regularly take care of my sister’s dogs for multiple days at a time, and I’ve also looked after my teachers’ pets. I have a dog of my own, and during the summer I walked my mom’s friend’s neighbors’ dogs. I love playing with animals, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m a full-time student at Indiana University, so my schedule varies a little. I’m available before 4 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I’m available anytime Friday through Sunday. I’m happy to work around your schedule when I can! One thing I love to do is take cute photos of your fur babies and send them to you throughout the day! I know it can be hard being away from your pets, so I want you to have that extra reassurance and be able to see that they’re happy, comfortable, and having a good time.

“We were in a pinch, needing someone to walk and feed our dog while we went in a day trip. Haley responded to my booking request promptly and was free. Upon meeting her I found her to be very friendly and warm and it was obvious that she is very comfortable around animals. She asked good questions and, though it was my first time using a service provider through Rover, I felt completely comfortable and confident in leaving my dog in her care. I will book her again for future pet care needs!”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bloomington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Bloomington is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 384 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Bloomington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bloomington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

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

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
