About: I have experience caring for newborn puppies, as well as dogs and cats with special needs or medications. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I also have experience house sitting, so I’m comfortable staying in a client’s home and making sure both their pets and their home are well cared for while they’re away. I’m very attentive and flexible, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m new to the area and currently looking for a full-time position, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can easily work pet care into my daily routine. I’m flexible with timing and locations and am happy to accommodate different schedules and the individual needs of each pet. I love having the opportunity to spend my extra time caring for animals, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions their owner gives me, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them some extra attention and love. I know every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and what makes them comfortable. My goal is to make sure they feel happy and cared for while their owner is away and to give the owner peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.
“Amanda was great!! She was very communicative during our entire long trip, and sent great updates and pictures of our kitties every day. Our kitties loved her right away and we felt so comfortable leaving them in her care.”
“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!”
“Haley took great care of our two cats while we were out of town! She had great communication and follow through and I could tell by the photos from her visits that our cats enjoyed her! I would book with Haley again in a heartbeat. 😊”
“Breana was great. She was efficient and timely with her drop-in visits to care for my cat twice a day. She sent a daily photo so I could see that “Billy” was safe and healthy and happy!! Thanks Breana!! ????”
About: I became a dog lover when I was 6 and my family got our first bulldog Rufus (best dog breed in my opinion). I’ve taken care of my own dog and friends and family members’ dogs that have come in all different breeds and sizes. I have availability all throughout the week and can accommodate whatever time works best for you. I just graduated college, so I’m doing dog care while I look for a job. I will listen to your pet’s body language to make them as comfortable as possible when meeting them and assure that they are safe and secure before leaving.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years. Purebred goldens, Corgi’s, Aussie Shepherds, and a variety of rescue dogs to name some. I work from home and have a fenced in yard. I really enjoy having visitors. I have a 3 day in advance cancellation policy. I’m minutes from the airport and many clients use me for longer stays during International travel. I’m able to give guests great attention. Love to show them a good time balancing entertainment, exercise, and rest. I’m usually able to do meet and greets. I have a fenced in yard and generally go outside with them or keep a close eye through the windows. I’m protective given the predators in the community.
About: I have loved owning and training dogs my whole life, but unfortunately have one child allergic. I can't wait to meet your amazing pup of any size, and get them the needed exercise, and training if needed. I have a full-time job in hockey, which affords me a lot of free time in the spring and summer months, especially during the day. I will provide whatever is needed, whether it's a short or long walk. I'm also a runner, and happy to jog with them. I pride myself on being able to work with any kind of dog and training them to be easy and reliable on a leash.
“Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s and family’s dog(s) throughout the years. From overnight stays to short walks, I am able to provide these services effortlessly. I have had my cats for 4 years now and know how to handle their rambunctiousness and understand their needs. I wfh part of my days so I am able to do short walks or visits. On weekends I am typically free and will be available for other pet services if needed. If the pets do not get along with cats, I am able to provide a separate space for them where no interaction can occur. I am neat and tidy in my space and will respect client’s homes as if it were my own.
About: I have always had a special way with dogs. From training and caring for my childhood golden retriever, to starting a neighborhood dog-sitting business with my sister, to walking dogs part-time ever since. I have over 15 years of professional experience walking and boarding dogs of all sizes, breeds, needs, and ages. I promise to provide individualized care to cater to your dogs specific needs! I’m currently available full-time to provide pet care. I am between jobs at the moment, giving me all the more time to spend with your dog! Generally, open availability 7-days a week. I am currently unable to board dogs at my home. But, I am available full-time to sit at your home and/or provide drop-ins and walks. I provide a very loving, attentive, and safe environment for animals. I am highly adaptable to the specific needs of each dog I care for. My years of on-leash experiences with all different dogs have built a confidence in safe handling and training strategies.
“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: Animal lover here, excited to care for your pup! I have experience with many breeds and can't wait to share adventures on our time together! I work 8-5 mainly with a shorter workday Friday. I have weekends off and I am looking to spend some time keeping your animals company. Typically don’t have a long lunch, but can potentially be flexible if needed. Grew up with dogs around me and have plenty experience watching peoples pets. Love following list of needs so they feel most comfortable when they aren’t with their parents!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
Cassidy came over to feed our dogs and spend some time with them while we were out for the afternoon and night at a wedding. She fed them, let them out, and hung out while they played. Having her come by allowed us to enjoy the evening without worrying about getting home at a specific time.
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!
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 .
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 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.

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.
