“Joanna did a great job checking in on my kitty Peaches. She reliably showed up as promised, communicated well, shared pictures and my cat loved her. She was good at telling with Peaches was in the mood to play or in the mood to cuddle and gave her all the love she craved. I will definitely have Joanna look in on Peaches again in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Eva K. was very accommodating and I'm so grateful that they were able to help me out! My guy is a social eater so having Eva there ensured that he would at least eat something while I was gone.”
About: I’ve taken care over many different kinds of dogs and enjoy it! I love anything outdoors and fitness so I thought this would be a perfect fit. I’m currently self employed and have the freedom to make my own schedule so I am always available to take care of other things. I have a son who loves to go on walks. I have a fenced porch as well as many dog parks near me. I have a clean apartment for overnight stays and very spacious too.
“Jessica did a great job with our new puppy, Frankie! She sent lots of photos and updates during her visits. Frankie was a happy pup when we returned!”
About: I have been taking care of friends and families pets for over 5 years, always being the first that they call! As much as I wished, my family never had any dogs so I have plenty of love to give to others! I am in my off season for my job as an artists/athlete, working part time as a dance teacher and have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I live in an apartment complex that has easy access to our backyard full of grassy area. I live in a residential area with plenty of sidewalks and trails to walk.
About: In the last 15 years, I've cared for a variety of pets including chickens, bunnies, chinchillas, reptiles, dogs, and cats. I really enjoy snuggles and walks. I have experience giving medicine to both dogs and cats, doggie diapers and belly bands, and gentle leaders. Today, I have two senior pets of my own, a dog named Lola, and a cat named KitKat. Both are rescues that I trained myself and we've come a long way the past 7 years. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I'm working remote contract positions right now and my schedule is really fluid. If you have reliable internet, I'll happily work from your home so your pets will have more company throughout the day. Trusting your sitter is important, that's why I do everything possible to make sure they are happy, healthy, and secure while you are away so you can relax and enjoy your time away from home.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pup needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I’m reliable, responsible, and will always treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’m committed to providing a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend! I am currently working full time, so weekends and evenings work best for me to care for your pet. I am sometimes free to walk or check in on your pet during weekdays from 12:00pm to 12:45 I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection while also checking that they’re safe and comfortable. During walks, I prioritize your dog’s safety while giving them the exercise and mental stimulation they need, adjusting the pace and distance based on their age and energy level. For overnight stays in your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible to help them feel relaxed while you’re away. I’ll provide companionship, meals, walks, playtime, and lots of love, while also keeping your home tidy and sending regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“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 :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was little, from small to big, I have experimented with a range of different dogs and even cats! I’m a student but have time for dog walks in the evening and on the weekends, I can provide drop in services on the weekends as well. Your dogs safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any care instructions closely, use secure leashes and harnesses, and stay alert to my surroundings at all times. I treat every dog as if they were my own and provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while your pup is in my care.
About: -My own friendly dog loves hosting and provides great company and socialization for your pup. -A fully secure, fenced-in yard means worry free playtime. -Whether your dog needs high-energy puppy supervision and routine reinforcement, or a gentle, patient hand for senior medication and slow walks, I adapt my home to their specific life stage. -You’ll get daily photo and text check-ins so you never have to wonder how they are doing. Because I work from home very limited hours, pet care is seamlessly woven into my entire day. Your dog will have constant companionship and supervision. My routine revolves around the pups: we start the morning with a potty break, then breakfast, and a fun play session in my fenced yard. Throughout the day, I will play fetch or let the dogs out for a sunbath. Evenings are reserved for neighborhood walks, dinner, and wind-down cuddles on the couch. Because I am always here, your dog will never have to wait long for a bathroom break, a fresh bowl of water, or a belly rub. Your dog will be treated like a member of the family during their stay. They will have full access to a comfortable, climate-controlled home and a large, fully secure, fenced-in backyard. Safety is my top priority, so I always do a thorough sweep of the fence line before any new guest arrives, and I never leave dogs unsupervised in the yard.
About: I grew up with a cutie cat. I currently have a 90 pound pup and two cats. I am comfortable around large breeds and understand respecting them. I have much flexibility currently. Usually I can do walks throughout the day and evening except 4p-8p. I am able to do several visits as well. I would treat your pets as my own. I understand large breeds as well and am confident in walking them even if they pull. Cuddles always welcome!
“Jessica came to our hotel room to walk our dog while we were out for the day. She was very prompt with all communication and Hobbes enjoyed his walk with her. I would definitely use her again if in the area.”

We have a fenced-in back yard, which provides ample space for playtime with Nessie. We are semi-retired, which means we have ample time to provide attention to your four-footed friends.
“Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She’s always on time, communicative, friendly and so caring to the dogs. Will always use her for our dog sitting needs!!!”
“Lucy is a very kind person, and my dogs love her. She comes and walks them twice a week when I’m busy with school and they are SO happy to get to spend some time outside with her. She sends photos and gives me little updates on them, and it makes me feel better about leaving my big, grown up babies.”

Dana was available last minute for a weekend of drop-ins. She was very attentive and on time, dogs were so happy and well cared for! She even tried to dry them up after some rain (which is quick the feat). Very thankful for her willingness to care for our girls!
Highly recommend Heidi!! This was our first time leaving our two dogs without a family member to take care of them and she kept them happy and very well cared for. I appreciated her detailed notes after each visit and felt I had left my dogs in very good and capable hands.
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!
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!!
Kelly immediately became such a special part of ours and our mini golden doodle, Lewis’, routine! We are so grateful for Kelly’s flexibility with our (sometimes unpredictable) schedule. We have had to make several last minute changes and Kelly is always responsive and adaptable. She’s intentional and takes several photos each time she visits Lewis and gives a thorough description of their time together. She plays with him and wears him out for when we return from work. Kelly is great to work with and so friendly!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bloomington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bloomington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
