“Anna was the perfect choice for taking care of our cats for a long weekend trip! She was attentive, responsive, considerate and wonderful to our four kitty cats. We loved her detailed updates and pictures. Her level of care was top-notch!”
“Tori did such a wonderful job with the house visits for my two cats when I went out of town. She's friendly, kind and my cats loved her. I will definitely be re-booking with her in the near future!”
“Sara did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats while I was away. They took to her right away . We really enjoyed Sara’s detailed notes and many photos at each drop in. Our cats loved when she came over. I will hire her again.”
“This was my first time leaving on a trip since I got my cat, but booking Ali was the best decision and was the biggest relief! She was very loving to my cat, gave him the best care, and was timely with her visits. She left detailed descriptions and followed all of the instructions I left. My cat is extremely shy but he warmed up to her quickly. Highly recommend!!!”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
“Natalie was wonderful! She was communicative and friendly, and I love that she's a true neighbor. The kitties were in good hands, and I would happily leave them in her care again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with two cats and a dog who needed special care in her later years. I adopted 2 cats with FeLV, both having to eventually be put down after years of vet visits and medications. I am comfortable with higher maintenance pets, administering medication, and monitoring their well being. Over the years, I’ve dog sat for neighbors, helped potty train and puppy train my parents’ dog, and even fostered a very sick kitten who couldn’t stay at the shelter. I’ve fostered 2 cats in total, and I’ve had 3 cats in my adult life. These experiences have deepened my love for animals of all kinds and given me the skills to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I currently volunteer at pet haven weekly and plan to continue fostering cats with them. At the shelter I administer many different medications and help cats be comfortable in a not so comfortable setting. I am working full time 7-3:30 but it is flexible and can adjust a little if needed! I don’t have many extracurricular things going on so other than work I am 100% free. I keep an extremely clean environment and am very respectful when I am in a home that is not mine. I have been trusted by many to house and pet sit in the past.
“We absolutely love having Jessica care for our puppy! She is attentive, reliable, always on time, and has great communication. She makes sure Sully gets plenty of playtime, is fed, and receives his medications as needed. We especially appreciate the photo updates and knowing he is in such good hands while we’re away. Most importantly, Sully absolutely loves Jessica! We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and dependable for their pets!”
About: I'm currently working full-time, but | have plenty of time for evening walks on the weekdays and full availability on the weekends. I will always make time for a furry friend! I LOVE being outside with the animals. We do have 2 cats at home and new friends stress them out. Due to this, I am unable to care for pets at our home, but I am excited for the opportunity to meet your furry friends! I work full time and I am a mom, but I will make all the time necessary to make sure your fur family gets the best care that they need before or after work and on weekends! I prefer to take care of pets in their own space so that they have the comfort of being in their home and only introducing a new person! I will do everything in my power to make sure they are well taken care of while you are away!
“We went on vacation for a week. I was very worried about our cat, George, who isn’t doing very well. I looked forward to the daily reports that we got when we were gone. She made a point of looking forward George each day, and we got daily pictures of them (even though they were only of them hiding under the bed). Shannon did everything that I asked, including bringing in the mail. Although we have no immediate plans to go on another vacation, I would definitely use Shannon’s services again.”
About: I've been helping my mom with her pets for more than 10 yrs. From appointments, medications, walks on the parks, playful afternoons, all the love they can receive is always present. I do it with my heart, I always think that pets are angels hiding their wings. Taking care of pets is one of my favorite things in this world. I work in a very flexible job, I can adjust my schedule accordingly. Very easy going with the hours and days. Always open for flexibility. I live in a apartment complex with a beautiful friendly dog. No matter where your pets is gonna be, the attention is gonna be 100%.
About: I'm an animal lover- I've grown up with dogs and currently own two cats, and am excellent at following any instructions you might leave.

If you have any questions or want to know more, please just message me! I'd love to chat and get to know your needs. I look forward to talking with you!

About: Hi! I’m an animal communication researcher with a B.A. in psychology and biology, and I’ve been passionately caring for dogs, specifically rescue dogs, since I was 13 years old. I currently live with a senior rescue dog, so canine companionship is a central part of my daily life! My scientific background gives me a unique perspective on dog walking and care: I understand canine body language, stress triggers, and behavioral signals, allowing me to create a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment for every dog. As I currently work full-time, I would be available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Monday through Friday's from 6 am-8 am and 6 pm-8 pm. I am also available anytime on Saturday and Sunday. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is keeping their regular routine intact so they feel safe, calm, and happy while you’re away. Safety & Routine First: I closely follow your instructions for feeding, routines, pet medications, and house rules. I will make sure doors and gates are secure, entryways are clear, and your home is kept neat and respected. Dog drop-in visits and walks: - Tailored Dog Walks: Walks are adapted to your dog's age and energy levels. From structured and mentally stimulating walks for energetic dogs, to slow and gentle strolls for senior dogs, I have experience with a wide range of dog personalities, activity levels, and ages. - Behavior-Conscious Care: Using my background in animal communication research, I monitor body language for signs of heat exhaustion, anxiety, or leash reactivity, ensuring every walk is low-stress and positive. - Post-Visit Updates: After every visit, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos, including notes on bathroom breaks, water bowl top-offs, energy levels, and any fun highlights from our time together! Cat drop-in visits: - Feeding & Fresh Water: I strictly follow your feeding routines, medications, wash bowls, and ensure fresh water is always available. - Litter Box Maintenance: Regular, meticulous scooping and area cleanup to keep your cat's environment clean and comfortable. - Play & Mental Enrichment: Interactive play sessions using feather wands, puzzle toys, or laser pointers for energetic cats, or quiet, gentle company and brushing for seniors or introverts. - Behavior-Conscious Care: Using my background in science and animal communication research, I recognize subtle stress signals, environmental triggers, and comfort cues, ensuring your cat feels completely safe and relaxed while you're away. - Detailed Updates: After every visit, you’ll receive a thorough report message complete with photos, notes on eating/litter box habits, and highlights of our hangout time.
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.
“Miriam was great with Taro! He enjoyed the company while I was out of town, and she gave him all the cuddles he needed until I got home. She was also very easy to communicate with and accommodating to my requests.”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bloomington is $18 per visit as of November 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.

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 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.

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 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.
