Dog Walking Bloomington

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child. I have worked in the veterinary field for the past 3 years, and recently got a promotion to be a vet assistant at my clinic. I am a working college student who is in a veterinary nursing program. I have experience with young animals, as well as seniors. I currently work part time, though in August I will be a full time college student again. I recently got a promotion at the vet clinic I work at to become a veterinary assistant full time. But for now, I am very free! I do not offer services at my home, as I have pets myself. But I am trained in taking care of your animals to ensure that they are as stress free as possible. Having a fenced in yard would be fantastic, but if you do not have one that is fine too!

About: I have been taking care of dogs other than my own since I was about 8. Family, friends and neighbors have always relied on me to care for their pets whenever they need. I am comfortable with any size, age, or breed of dog there is! I have went through training with my dog, so I know what its like to take care of any dog from highly energized to very lazy, untrained or highly trained. I have taken care of two litters of puppies at the same time - 16 total puppies! - so I can handle whatever is thrown my way. I am currently taking online college classes full-time and working part-time, so I have plenty of extra time to spend with your pets, whether that is going on walks or just hanging out while I do my schoolwork! I have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old doggo at home if needed to keep your pet entertained. I also have a dog park and plenty of room to go on walks or runs with your pet. I like to stay active so I try to take my dog out on 1-2 walks a day since he needs his exercise!

About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!

About: I have had a love for pets since I was a child. I have house/pet sat for years now and would love to expand that. I can do pet sitting, walking, baths, anything your pet needs!! I take online classes and just recently got laid off so my schedule is wide open! I would love to come hangout with your furry friends! At my house I have a 4 year old pup who loves to chill. In your home I would love to learn about what works for you and the guidelines you have, I try my best to go above and beyond when meeting those!

“Jenny is always the best! My dog and my daughter’s dog love her! I know they’re in great hands with her!”

About: I’ve been in love with animals for as long as I can remember, I grew up with multiple dogs in my home along with a few cats and fish. I even bought my own dog as soon as I moved out! I currently watch my own dog, my household family pets at my dads, and my household family pets at my moms when they are out of town. I am a full time state licensed esthetician, leaving my schedule to be very flexible. I’m happy to visit your fur babies whenever is best for your schedule, whether that’s feeding, walking, or cleaning your pets while you’re at work or off on a trip. I will gladly send photos or videos updates on your fur babies. I am also happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don’t mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions while I’m there. Again I am a full time online college student and I work a part time job maybe 3-4 days a week mostly night shifts, being 4 pm-closing time. I have family pets and both my moms household and my dad’s household that I’ve cared for when I lived in both homes and while my family is at work or away, plus I also bought my own dog when I moved out which I care for on a daily basis.

About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.

About: In my past I have handled small and large dog breeds. I have also worked with training puppies, so I am used to an active animal! Pet care is perfect for my daily routine, because I am a student so when I have free time taking care of animals is the best! My job is to care for your pet and make them happy! I keep a calm and kind demeanor, because every pet deserves a smiling face!

About: I’ve lived with pets and taken care of my own for years. I have a careful attention to detail great for catching any issues that might come up. I also have experience giving medication to stubborn animals. I am currently home for break so I can dedicate most of my time to taking care of your pet ensuring the best experience possible. I will make sure your pet is comfortable and in a clean, safe environment. I will also ensure that they feel their boundaries are respected.

About: I've always loved dogs and had them in my care my entire adult life. As a kid I grew up with dogs in our family. I enjoy the company and unconditional love they give us. I'm looking to service families who may have busy schedules that need help with care. I'm available to walk or care through the week. I understand schedules can change depending on the time of year and my option through the week is flexible. I am also available for dog day care on weekends. Weekend schedules are flexible as well. I have plenty of room for play. I live near serval parks. I am offering my time for the joy of playing and caring for your dogs. If you need any assistance please contact me as a provider. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet with your and your pets needs in mind.

“With my schedule being busy my foster pup needed someone to take him out in some adventures. He loves walks so wanted to try a dog walker. Bruce did great with Essence and really enjoyed going for a walk with her. Definitely going to continue booking Bruce to help get his exercise. Recommend Essence for sure! She did amazing with Bruce! She kept us updated and she took pictures of him! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I've been an animal lover since I was four when my first dog came into my life :) I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was around ten, and it's been something I've loved doing ever since. I've cared for all types of pets - from puppies to senior dogs, cats of all personalities, turtles, fish, and even some farm animals! I have no problem giving medications - I've given insulin injections to diabetic dogs many times and understand how important it is to stick to medication schedules. I understand how pets thrive on their familiar routines and environment. I'll make sure to maintain their schedule and send you updates with plenty of photos while you're away :) I know firsthand that there’s nothing better than seeing your pets happy and relaxed when you can't be with them! I work remotely and choose my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m a bit of a night owl naturally, so I especially love taking fur babies for evening walks, but any time I get to care for an animal is a great time :) I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and everything in between for over ten years now, so I have experience handling almost every situation that could come about :) I’ve administered insulin via injection to dogs, fed both cats and dogs pills, cleaned up after them if there are any accidents, placed them in (and taken them out of) crates gently and calmly, and generally whatever was necessary to ensure that every pet in my care is happy and well taken care of.

About: Since 2018, I’ve been the go-to Rover sitter for pet parents who want peace of mind and pups who want nonstop love and attention. 🐶 I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs. I keep them safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.” I trust dogs more than I trust most humans, which makes this more than just a side gig for me. Caring for your pups is something I genuinely enjoy. Why choose me? • 🛡️ Safety first: Your dog’s wellbeing is always my #1 priority (and mine too, because let’s be honest, no one wants a Rottweiler deciding I look like a chew toy). • 🏃‍♀️ Active & alert: I’m quick on my feet, tuned in, and ready to spring into action if a situation gets “ruff.” • 🧠 Dog smarts + intuition: I have a natural ability to read dogs’ body language and moods, whether I’m meeting a nervous Chihuahua or a 120 pound gentle giant. • 📸 Peace of mind updates: Expect photos, videos, and proof of tail wags so you feel like you never left. Over the years, every dog I’ve cared for has left a paw print on my heart (and sometimes a little slobber on my shirt). Big or small, shy or spunky … I’ve worked with them all, and I strive to make every pup feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. If you want a sitter who will love your dog like family, treat safety like sacred ground, and sprinkle in a little humor along the way, I’m your person. 🐾 Taking care of dogs isn’t a side gig for me . Definitely a lifestyle. I already have my own little wolfpack, so loving, protecting, and spoiling pups is second nature. When your K9 is with me, they’re not just “watched”… they’re family. Think of it as a WIN/WIN: your dog gets unconditional love and adventure, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and thriving. I can’t wait to meet your best friend (and claim them as my new sidekick).

About: I'm a 22 year old in college studying Sonography. I’m currently married to the love of my life with a baby girl. I’ve dog sat my entire life whether It’s for my parents friends or foster homed dogs from the humane society. I was going to school to be a licensed Veterinarian and open my own clinic, but life had other plans :)! I will send photos and update you on everything If you want :)! I love taking selfies with your dog while cuddling. I look forward to meeting your cuddly pet. I will take the best care of your dogs as If they're my own. I know how to handle, administrate medicine, IV's, surgeries, etc. I will take the best care of your pup! I don’t provide any dog boarding or daycare at the moment. That is due to me living in an Apartment right now. I do apologize for that. I only offer dog walking. Thank you have a great day :)

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by cats and dogs, both my own and others and have an intense passion for caring for animals the right way! I have basic care skills, but can ensure diligence, active and engaging time spent with your animals, timely care, and commitment to following care guidelines to a T. I know what it’s like to leave your animals in the care of someone else. My personal pet sitters are accustomed to abnormally and intensely detailed printed guidelines with care instructions for my animals, so regardless of how detailed your care instructions are, I have the aptitude to follow them in their entirety plus more to the best of my abilities! I am a medical student in my first year, so I do have the ability to have more control of my schedule. I will continually update my time availability to be accurate weekly. I will not commit something that I cannot guarantee availability for! I will only be able to give care in your home due to living in an apartment complex and having animals of my own. But in caring for my own animals, I am quite neurotic in how detailed and specifically I care for them. I make sure my animals have daily mental and exercise stimulation through playing with toys, walking, and engagement with me and each other. I am adamant about giving my animals affection, and provide them meals in a timely and measured way. I brush all of my animals teeth daily, walk my dogs daily, and clean my cats litter box at least twice a day. I am very attuned to subtleties and changes in my animals behavior to ensure that they are in good health! I want to give my animals the best life and care possible just as I will do for your animals!

About: I’ve taken care of pets, especially dogs since my parents brought home my first dog when I was a little kid. I’m used to the responsibility of taking care of animals and making sure they are fed, walked and happy. I’ve also walked looked after dogs for relatives and neighbors who were away since I was a kid. I work from home on the weekdays. I work for myself as well and like to take breaks by walking around my neighborhood so it’s easy for me to find time for your pet. I’m available most the weekend as well unless something unexpected comes up. I have a one room apartment near college hill park, it’s an ideal location for dog walking, as it’s a very safe and walkable neighborhood. Being in a small space makes boarding a little difficult (which is why I charge more for it) but it is doable.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8, starting from aquatic pets, reptiles, to common furry in-home pets. I bathe, walk, feed, play, monitor, etc. Your fur baby will be in great hands. Flexible, stacked throughout the day 10am - 9pm Scheduled visits fit daily Pet care in time blocks/Pet care around my day Structured daily pet visits I follow each pet’s routine with feeding, fresh water, potty or litter care, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while providing updates to owners.

“Sophee has been amazing with our pup. She always communicates and updates us on walks and has been available for us last minute! I definitely recommend her to anyone using Rover.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 5 when I fully trained my Cocker Spaniel dog. I potty trained her and taught her to climb stairs when she was only a puppy. After that I learned tricks and educated myself how to feed them correctly. My family and friends trust me their fur babies to bath them and walk them when they don’t have the time. I also clip the nails and play the groomer with small and medium dogs. I enjoy playing with them but I also practice discipline with dogs. I am a freelancer working from home which means I always going to have time to play with your pups! For boarding I am available all week whenever you need. If my availability ever changes you will be notified. I live in an apartment with a green area where dogs can play. I will be moving to base housing soon so they will count with a big yard to run and play. I have a whiny dog to keep your dog company. They are free to spend time on furniture and beds.

About: Trained in dog walking and grooming. Recently moved to back to KS and looking to find pet friends. Also an RN by trade, looking to be more involved in the animal world. Currently, unemployed due to just moving here. I am an RN, but looking to transfer over the to the animal world. I also do yoga! Yard is not fenced, but I live in a gated community. All walks would be on leash by my apartment. I will happily take dogs to a dog park or park to play. Lots of walks!
