“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: Hi! I’m Alana 😊 I provide reliable, attentive care so your pet can stay comfortable while you’re away. I started volunteering at a humane society in middle school and later gained hands-on experience shadowing veterinary technicians at IndyVet. This helped me learn how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care. Growing up, my family had golden retrievers, pit bulls, cats, bunnies, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets and personalities. I now have three miniature dachshunds of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own! I work full time throughout the week. I am typically available during the evenings on Monday - Thursday, and then all day on Friday - Saturday! Because I have three dogs of my own, I prefer to have your dogs come to my home for overnight sitting. I understand how important our furry friends are and how difficult it can be to be away from them. That’s why I like to learn as much as possible about each pet ahead of time. Knowing their routines, preferences, and personality helps me create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away.
“Thank you Katherine! Thank you for accommodating Penne Linguine during our visit to Bloomington! I appreciated all the extra efforts..I think Penne wants to stay with you guys!”
About: College student available for part time help. Missing my dogs while at school!! I am a responsible, springer spaniel lover, and have been lifelong dog owner and carer most of my life. I am a senior in the Kelley School. Able to walk your dog mid-day or end of day most days throughout the week. Available on the weekends (around the football schedule!) I love to keep dogs company, get them moving, play with them. I like to make sure they’re comfortable and have their space, whether close or far from me.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up taking care of my own pets as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I was also raised around farm dogs, cats, and large farm animals, which made me very comfortable and confident around all kinds of animals, big or small. Over the years, I’ve done overnight stays, in home pet sitting, and daily care. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I currently don’t live with my two beagles and three cats (they’re at my family home with my parents), and I truly miss being around animals every day. That’s a big reason why I joined Rover, I love the companionship pets bring, and I’d be excited to care for yours while also picking up some extra work. I’m reliable, hardworking, responsible, and genuinely caring. You can count on me to show up, follow instructions closely, and give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. I’d love to meet you and your pet. I currently work six days a week from 3:30pm-9:30pm. I am fully available all other hours of the week. Also if given two weeks notice am happy to adjust my schedule to your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals from very friendly to shy or anxious so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and specific needs. I will always follow your instructions carefully and completely, because this is your pet and your guidance matters most. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. I truly believe pets are family members and deserve attentive, compassionate care. At this time, I do not have a fenced yard and am unable to host overnight stays longer than one night. However, if you’re looking for a quick Saturday night sitter, I do have a pet and child free home. There are no unsafe items within reach, and if your pet is crate trained, we have plenty of space to accommodate them comfortably but I also don’t mind a cuddly pet who prefers to sleep on the couch or bed as well. That said, I generally prefer staying overnight in your home, where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I also have references who can attest to my respectful and responsible nature when caring for pets in others’ homes. Having walked my two dogs together for years, I’m confident in my strength and stamina your pup will be safe and secure on walks with me. You can trust that your pet will be cared for as if they were my own.
“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for several years. Neighbors and friends rely on me and I make everyone happy with the care. I am currently work part time so I have plants of time to take care of the pets. I usually get up early and have a standard schedule of everyday. I have a apartment which is allowed to have pets and big enough for small and medium dogs to have fun.i love play with dogs and cats!
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animal companions for 20 years! I worked on a Farmed Animal sanctuary and took care of chickens, goats, turkeys, cows, and pigs. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and specialize in both senior care and puppies. I’m great at training pups and love to be active. If your dog needs a good hike, I’m your guy! I’m currently working the early morning shift and have plenty of time after work to care for your babies. I also have weekends off so go on that day trip you always wanted to and leave it to me. My dogs are my children. I take them hiking, swimming, walking, and/or to the dog park at least once a day. I’m just starting out as a personal trainer so if your dog needs a jog around the block I can do that.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs, Ludo and Lucy, received from Kimberly! Our dogs were in wonderful hands, and we could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Kimberly was loving, attentive, responsible. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Ludo and Lucy were being treated like family. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely be using Kinberly again!”
“Becky was SO GREAT. I was nervous to leave my girl as she hadn’t been around other dogs for a few years. Becky Is very knowledgeable about behavior and socializing. You can’t go wrong with leaving your pet with her! Tons of photos and excellent communication! ❤️”
“Laura was great with our puppy. Her home is set up safely for pet sitting. She was flexible with the needs of an energetic puppy. She sent us pictures and update as well. Very happy with this experience.”
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 grown up around dogs and work in the pet care industry professionally since 2021. I work in boarding and training aspects. I am professionally certified as a canine training and behavior specialist. I am currently taking daycare requests but my schedule changes weekly so it would be requests and then I would let you know which days/times I could do daycare. I’m planning on running daycare from my house once my fence is built this summer. I work part time and can spend a large majority of the day taking care of pets. I do have my own pet which requires time and care herself. I also am a student but I’m completely online so I can do my work from anywhere. I work in a boarding/training facility and feed, medicate, potty, and play with dogs. I can do basic grooming and have some skills learned on the job dealing with nervous or reactive dogs. I have worked with people and dog aggressive dogs. I’ve worked on minor resource guarding with dogs.
“Victoria is very nice and I really appreciated that she met me and our pup prior to the date of the stay. She sent me plenty of photos and I could tell that our pup was made to feel like she was "home". No complaints at all about the services we received!”
“Melinda was amazing! She dog sat our senior dog w medication needs, poor hearing and eye sight and was outstanding! She provided updates, photos and peace of mind allowing us to enjoy our visit to Nashville, IN. Looking for a rockstar sitter - look no farther - Melinda is the best!”
“Stephanie saved us at the last minute when the plans I made for my dogs fell through. She was flexible as things continued to change and my boys came back happy and healthy!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Bloomington is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She took them to the park, ensured they received plenty of attention and exercise, and sent us daily updates. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. She was kind and helpful with Smoosh, who needed to wear a belly band, and was incredibly patient with Camila and her unique personality. Chelsea truly cares about the pets she looks after and took the time to understand their needs. She was reliable, communicative, caring, and easy to work with. As a bonus, her house is fully fenced with a big backyard, giving our fur babies plenty of space to play safely.
My dog Gus received excellent care with Mary Jane. She provided frequent updates and was flexible when my pick up plans changed. She provides a safe and loving environment with opportunities to explore outside and cozy places to rest inside. I highly recommend her services.
The BEST. ♥️ I cannot say enough good things about Katherine and the experience my dog had staying with her. She was exceptionally warm, thoughtful, attentive, compassionate, loving. Beyond being nurturing, Katherine was clearly experienced in caring for dogs. My dog is 14 and Katherine went above and beyond in making sure the environment was comfortable for her. She sent photos throughout my pup's stay, and my pup was relaxed and happy in every photo. I think my dog wanted to live with Katherine after her stay. She was SO HAPPY when I brought her home. She was looking at me like "thank you so much for this vacation, mom" -- seriously. Katherine went far beyond making sure my dog was fed and safe. She was spending quality time with her, playing, and treating her with kindness and lots of affection. Leaving a dog with someone new can be a bit stressful, Katherine immediately made me felt at ease and I knew my dog would be in wonderful hands while I was away. You could not ask for a better sitter. 🐺 🫶
Sam is phenomenal! She is very knowledgeable about cats and cat care and you can tell that she really loves animals. Her home is basically a cat paradise! She kept us well-informed with pictures and other updates. She took such great care of our cat and will definitely be using Sam again in the future!
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 :)

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 Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
