“Anna was great with Tillie. We received wonderful updates and didn't have to worry about her being taken care of while we were away. We will definitely check to see if Anna is available the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“I've hired Annika multiple times to take care of my cat Nala and she always has done a great job. In addition to taking care of Nala she has consistently helped with other house-sitting tasks. I look forward to working with her in the future!”
“Josie meets every expectation we could have for our first time "Drop-in" Daily caretaker of our two big boy cats, Jondular and Tonga. This is the first time we have used Rover and we are thrilled with the outcome. Before we always took our cats in carriers to places where they sat in cages and they were very unhappy so we were unhappy too. When we discovered Rover we were so relieved. Josie has had plenty of experience with cats and was top notch all the way! Thank you Josie and we will be asking you back next time which may be soon.”
“Patricia was a great sitter to my two cats! I will 100% book her again. Gave great updates, and pictures of my cats while I was gone and followed all the directions I left for her.”
“I’m so glad we booked Sarah to watch our two cats while we were traveling for a week! It’s clear she loves animals, and she really went above and beyond in caring for ours. Communication was always super quick, she followed all the care instructions, and sent cute rover cards with lots of pictures. She even wrote a card and drew little pictures of our kitties, was very cute to come home to. We will definitely book Sarah to look after our kitties next time we go out of town!”
About: I've had dogs and cats and fish all my life. Currently have a 9 yo lab we've had since he was a puppy, two senior cats and uncountable fish including a 55 gallon tank and too many guppies and shrimp. Comfortable with administering meds, special care and playful pups. Very flexible week day schedule between 7a-4p. Long night time walks after 9 can be tricky with my family schedule but we can usually find a good way to work it out. I'll treat your babies like they're my own. Whether that's getting good pets and play time or enforcing your rules to sit/stay/okay before meals... I'm willing and able to work within what your pets are used to and expect.
About: Hi! My name is Phouthavone, but I go by Kat! 🐾 I’ve been around and cared for dogs my entire life. I currently have a 7-year-old rescue dog who’s been part of my family for five years, as well as a 2-year-old cat—so I’m very familiar with caring for both dogs and cats and all their different personalities! Both of my fur babies have sensitive stomachs, so I understand how important it is to follow feeding instructions, dietary restrictions, and routines carefully. I’ll make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and well-fed while they’re in my care. I also have previous experience as a human caregiver, which has taught me a lot of skills that transfer naturally into pet care—patience, attentiveness, responsibility, following routines, and making sure the person (or pet!) in my care is comfortable and safe. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your fur babies like they’re my own. Whether they want playtime, walks, company, or just lots and lots of cuddles, I’m happy to give them all the attention they need. 🐶🐱💕 I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I currently work part-time, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your fur babies! I’m available throughout the week and can work around different feeding, walking, and potty schedules. I’m also happy to spend extra time playing with them or just keeping them company and giving them lots of cuddles. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’ll always follow any instructions you leave for me. I’m very attentive when it comes to feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medications, walks, and anything else your pet may need. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I know how nerve-racking it can be trusting someone else with your babies! I’ll treat them like I would want someone to treat mine and keep you updated while you’re away.
“She did a wonderful job with my guinea pigs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of when I was gone. I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period of time as they are older guineas pigs, but she did better than I could have expected. I would highly recommend”
“Caitlyn did a great job looking after our cat while we were gone! I was nervous because it was our first time taking a trip and leaving Luna home alone, but she warmed up to Caitlyn right away and it looks like they had fun while we were gone! Caitlyn sent pictures every time she visited, which I appreciated.”
About: I know there is nothing harder than leaving your pet when going out of town. I do my best to make this time away as easy as possible by providing plenty of photos and updates. I know that each pet has their own indevidual needs and habits. I know that a change in routine can be difficult for them. I am as calm and gentle as possible to make them comforatable until their favorite humans come home! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and activity levels, including reactive dogs. I am home and available most weekends for round the clock pet car! Week days are a little harder as I work 7-3pm, so pets would need to be ok with being home alone for 8 hours for boarding or house sitting requests. I have a fenced in yard, live on a quiet street and no kids or pets in the home. We are smoke free home and are responsible about pet proofing our space.
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic!! I couldn’t have picked a better sitter to make my cat feel comfortable and happy! Lauren went above and beyond with photos throughout every visit and A+ communication. She followed all directions as well as administered meds flawlessly. Thank you, Lauren! - Spice”
About: As an animal lover and pet owner myself I know how stressful leaving your pet in someone else's care can be. As an experienced pet sitter I will ensure that your fur baby receives above and beyond, the love and attention they need while you are away! To help keep your mind at ease, I love sending my clients pictures/ video updates of their pet/s!!! Why me?! [C]attitude I am a very friendly, positive, easy going person that enjoys being outdoors and staying active. I am hard working, reliable and will always show up with a good attitude and ready to spoil your pet! Availability I currently work from home as a Freelance Artist, so my availability in regards to time and attention are quite flexible. I am available for in-home visits and/or walks Monday-Friday 8am-10pm Communication To me, good communication is the key to success! I want to make sure the service I am providing, is relieving any stress you may have about leaving your pet home. To help achieve this I would be happy to provide you with a text or call upon my arrival and/or departure, as well as send you a recap of my walk, check in or day-care. Respect I will always treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care. Maintaining the safety, security and trust of your space is something I take very seriously and will absolutely uphold. I do have 2+ years of experience working for a house cleaning company as a Supervisor, where I was in charge of customer keys, access information, lock box/ alarm codes etc. and ensuring every home was properly locked and secure before leaving. Again, maintaining the safety and privacy of your home and its contents will always be a priority. Experience Animals have always been one of my greatest passions in life. Despite not growing up with a dog or even owning one as an adult thus far in my life, I have gained knowledge and experience caring for dogs through dog sitting for various family members and friends over the last several years. Anyone that knows me knows how much I love animals... and that if I am not actively playing, petting or interacting with a pet, I am usually talking about them. Art bonus! I am a freelance artist with a BFA in photography and I also specialize in cut-paper art! The majority of my work is nature and animal based- because that is what I love. I also create one of-a-kind, handcut paper, pet portraits! Feel free to contact me with any questions about getting a custom portrait of your own pet made! I'm a freelance artist with a flexible schedule, so I am available all day for any pet care needs. I walk my own dog daily in rain, snow or shine. I play with my cat multiple times a day, as she demands it. My flexible schedule allows for plenty of spoiling throughout the day for everyone! I live on a quiet cul-de-sac. I have a large fully fenced, private yard with lots of space to run and explore. My dog Maeve gets along well with other dogs and will gladly play chase if that's what your dog enjoys. My cat, Bitta, gets along well with dogs, provided they don't bother her too much. However, she's not shy about letting a pup know when they've crossed the line though she does not have front claws (I did not declaw her!). Our home is quite spacious, allowing us to easily keep the puppies separate indoors if necessary. However, if all the dogs are comfortable with each other, our house is pet-friendly, and that includes allowing them on the couch. As I work from home, I can easily monitor all the animals throughout the day.
About: I have been taking care of my own pets as well as my friend’s pets for several years now. Little doggos have a special place in my heart, but of course I love all dogs and pets! I would love to have the opportunity to take care of yours! I’m currently working from home, so I have all the time in the world for your adorable pets! I love to go for walks and can be available anytime for your little animals :) I used to be an au pair for a couple years, taking care of a small boy of a single mom at their home, so I’m very good at assimilating into other’s spaces and helping however it’s needed!
“Jade is awesome! She checked in and gave updates throughout her stay with Cleo and also sent photos. It's obvious how much she loves animals, and I can't wait to book her again soon!”

Once again, I am so grateful to Josephine, who follows through with chores in a timely manner, communicating with me about how things are going each visit, with pictures included. She’s so positive and understanding about everything. Thank you again for giving me a worry-free trip!!❤️
This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to get Anna! She’s communicative and we absolutely loved the kitty updates we got throughout the weekend! It is clear she loves cats, and has been consistent in showing up for our cats and giving them the attention they need!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bloomington is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 of October 2026, there are 2,840 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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 , 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 sitter.
