“This was our first time using Rover and Ben meet with us beforehand to talk about the care for Josie. He was excellent at communicating with us each day and sending us photos. He did all the tasks we asked of him and Josie seemed to really like him. He made this entire experience easy and we would book him again.”
“Amy is a great cat sitter! We just adopted our cats and left them for the first time, I was very nervous and anxious of leaving them alone but Amy made us feel more relaxed after seeing how responsible and great she was with them. She followed all instructions and showed up on every visit, she sent plenty of pictures and responded quick to messages, she was very nice with our cats and they liked her right away. I definitely recommend her and trust her to take care of our cats again!”
“I highly recommend Shannon. She was intentional about a meet and greet to get to know us, she had thorough updates for each visit and even helped administer insulin for our diabetic cat. She has a warm, kind energy that any animal would love!”
“Josephine was amazing! My pup is very shy and sometimes stand offish to new people but he warmed right up to Josephine. We had a very late request for in-home visits and Josephine was able to accommodate for us and was very timely with her responses. She provided updates at every check in and even took our pup for a short walk on most visits! Can’t thank you enough Josephine, we will be requesting your help again in the future!!”
“Ed really goes the extra mile, not only for the pets for whom he is caring, but also with keeping their “parents” entertained with stories, puzzles, and humor. We look forward to each time he sits for us!”
“Rob was great! We needed to book him last minute for a weekend out of town and he was super quick to jump in and his reports were thorough! He gave great updates on the cats :)”
“Clara took excellent care of my kitties while I was away! Great communication and response time. I would recommend Clara for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Lucy was wonderful as always. She was able to do a last minute check in on my pups, and they adore her. She’s wonderful at communication and is a very patient person with both dogs and me!”
About: I am a registered nurse in Minneapolis who is looking to pet sit/walk on my days off. I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life, and I was one of the main caretakers for them. I also sit for my coworkers, family, and friends when needed. I am very active and love to bring pets on long/short walks and runs. I work as a registered nurse who works 2-3 12 hour shifts a week. I have many off days to care for your pet for the entire day. I have a fenced yard and safe neighborhood for walking. My house is very clean and decluttered so no animals would get into anything to harm them.
“Renee is such a lifesaver! She has helped us out when we have been in a crunch and has been extremely reliable! We and our puppy love her! She has been an amazing caregiver for our dog! I would totally recommend her and so grateful we get to keep her on board for regular puppy sitting!”
“Alyssa was attentive, loving, and communicated really well! She was quick to notify us of any changes with the cats and made an effort to engage our shy or hiding old cats. Thanks so much for taking care of our fur family while we had to be out of town! ❤️”
“Lauren did an amazing job with our pets! We needed our cat Franklin + 2 geckos looked after while out of town, and she took care all of them like a pro. Communication was great, and consistent with every visit we had scheduled. She paid very close attention to every detail in our care instructions. It was a pleasure working with you, and we would love to have take care of our them again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
Josephine is so diligent and faithful with taking care of our animals. I am so appreciative of her communications and updates and addressing special concerns and needs. She reassured me that all was well with my cat’s health — a constant worry of mine since several emergency visits to vets over the years.
Emma Rose went above and beyond for our pets! Right from the get go, I was impressed with her thoughtful communication, attention to detail, and genuine desire to make our cats as comfortable as possible while we were away. She is clearly passionate about providing the best care possible and loves ALL animals. We highly recommend her services!!!
Rachel did an AMAZING job taking care of our kitties while we were gone on a 2 week trip! My cats are normally very shy, but they very quickly warmed up to Rachel. She was also very communicative and it put our minds at ease knowing our kitties were taken care of so well while we were gone. I would recommend her to anyone ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bloomington on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
