About: I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs whenever they need a helping hand, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I love taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I also volunteer at an animal shelter every weekend, where I walk shelter dogs and spend time helping them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, or some company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! ❤️🐾 My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to coordinate anytime to fit your pet’s routine and needs. I’ll work with you ahead of time to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pet! love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention! 🐶 I’ve regularly helped care for friends’ dogs and enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and walking style. Whether your pup loves a long walk, a relaxed stroll, or stopping to sniff everything along the way, I’m happy to follow their pace and routine. I’ll also make sure they have access to water and stay hydrated, especially on warmer days. Most importantly, I’ll always make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and having a great time!
“Adam was wonderful at communicating with us and has such a kind and caring personality. We loved all of the funny photos we received and felt at ease while we were away, especially since Katsu does have rather meticulous medication needs. Adam was also clearly very mindful about keeping Katsu happy and comfortable, and respecting his needs/boundaries/quirks. We look forward to working with him again for future pet-sitting needs!”
“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.”
“Brittney took care of my two cats when I was away for 2 nights. She was easy to communicate with, sent us a picture when she visited them. We will hire her again in the future.”
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, chickens, and a bunny for my family and friends throughout my life. I like to socialize my dogs by taking them on walks and playing with them! I am currently a nursing student. I have Monday mornings open, most Tuesdays off, and Thursday evenings. Then I have Fridays- Sundays open! When I have free time, I will gladly walk your dog and keep them company! I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, food, and love. I’ll also make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away!
“It was wonderful having Samantha as my cat sitter. She followed my instructions thoroughly and communicated with me in a timely manner. I was very rest assured thanks to her visit. She does take care of my kitty. I would definitely ask her again in my future trips! 5 stars!”
About: I've have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all pets and I am very flexible and willing to learn how to best take care of your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your pets, I will dedicate my time to loving them. I've had 5 energetic dogs throughout my life. My family has had everything from small to really big. We had a papillon, papillon mix, pomeranian, pitbull/boxer mix, and a pitbull/german shepherd mix. My dogs were always the larger ones and I can handle walking very large dogs easily since my dogs weren't the best on the leash. Currently we have two dogs but I learned how to take care of them when they were babies, to when they were having old age problems. So, I can work with any range of age. I also have a cat in college now that I love taking care of. I am a student-athlete currently, but I always have time in the evenings to dedicate to taking care of a pet. I am available for drop-ins on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. When you are home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I am a student-athlete at IU Bloomington, so my schedule is a little packed but I miss my pets and I also love to walk, so this sounded like a great option. I am free on Saturday after morning practice, all day Sunday, mostly all day Tuesday, and all day Thursday. :) I would care for my client's pets like they were my own. I can handle giving them constant attention, feeding, walking, watering, and everything else. I am 6'0 ft tall, so I can handle big dogs if necessary.
“Sarah went above and beyond caring for our cats when we were gone for two weeks! She was very proactive, and we really appreciated how she stuck to our cats regular feeding schedule and routine. It gave us peace of mind during our trip knowing our cats were being so well taken care of.”
“Madison was great with our puppy, she did drop in vista. While caring for our dog, she played fetch with her while allowing her plenty of time to do her business outside. She was great with sending pictures and very responsive with text messages.”
“Patricia took great care of our cat while we were away. She was very responsive to communication and gave us thorough reports for each visit. We really appreciate the time she took to give our cat plenty of playtime and cuddles!”
About: I have cared for our loving dogs and cats for over 30 years. I know the stress of travel and vacation. I want to take that stress away by caring for your loving pets in your home or mine. I will work carefully to give your pet a calm relaxing environment. I specialize in dogs and cats. I have also cared for fish in the past.. I understand through my own observation that my pets are calmer and happier when I have employed a pet sitters so I want to provide that same support to my clients. I have the background of taking care of animals with diabetes, blindness, hearing loss as well as many geriatric dogs and cats. Please consider me as your experienced support system while you are away. Thank you.
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 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.

Emily was more than AMAZING!!! She checked in on my boy while I was gone for a day and was so helpful, detailed, and sweet to him! I received updates and with dueces detailed schedule, she was able to do everything I asked. I would 10/10 recommend her for your pet needs.
Ragan was so good with our kitties! She went above and beyond in making sure that they were well-cared for while we were away. It’s never easy having to go out of town, and she made us feel so comfortable knowing our cats were being taken such good care of. We would absolutely book with her again!
Sarah went above and beyond caring for our cats when we were gone for two weeks! She was very proactive, and we really appreciated how she stuck to our cats regular feeding schedule and routine. It gave us peace of mind during our trip knowing our cats were being so well taken care of.
Lucinda took care of my cats when we were away for a week. She was very communicative, not only fed them and clean after them, but also administered one of my cat’s medicine regularly. Thank you very much Lucinda! We greatly recommend her and we will hire her next time again.
Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! This trip was the longest I have ever been away from him and I was a little bit worried about how he would handle it, but Lauren kept him well fed and gave him plenty of attention. She followed my instructions perfectly and even kept my plant alive! My cat was in very good hands while I was gone and I would gladly book with Lauren again.

As of September 2026, there are 410 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
