“Wow! Ed has been just amazing. I came back from knee surgery and just wasn’t able to walk my dog . Ed has been so kind. Consistently prompt and incredibly dependable, Ed always was flexible when I needed a schedule flex. He offered really helpful insights for my dog’s aging (he’s almost 17), was always on time and so thoughtful. Ed even brought me a cookie and hauled my empty and full garbage cans to the curb and back! My dog really loved him and I appreciated the updates. I’ve so enjoyed having Ed’s assistance with walking and would highly recommend him for any help you may need with your pets.”

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.

About: Im currently a stay at home mother with two boys, we have a dog named sitka however he’s spending some time with his grandma in Wyoming. Use to volunteer as an animal foster parent for a short amount of time but within those few months I never went a day without a loving animal in my care. I was able to excel in pet care, nourish some with the medical help they needed or emotional support till they went to their new homes. I have a lot of free time on my hands even with my kids who loves to meet new fur friends! I want your baby to feel safe and sound while you’re away even just for a little while. We love to go out on walks since we’re cooped up in an apartment. Being a homemaker I’m definitely available majority of my day, I would love to fill in my free time watching or taking care of fur babies! I want not only the owners but pet to feel safe/ comfortable in the surrounding environment we are in. My goal is to make your pet feel home away from home! Even if it’s for only a short time! They will always be well taken care of and their needs/ wants will be met.

About: I’ve always had such a strong love for animals both dogs, cats and more! I grew up with both cats and dogs in my family and have experience with animals of all ages including puppies & kittens and senior dogs and cats. I have experience in providing medicine, treatment, nail trimmings, and more to both cats and dogs in a gentle and careful way! I am very caring and will always make sure your animal is my #1 priority I currently work from home going in the office once a week so I have lots of flexibility to do drop in during lunch time, before or after work and weekends. Since I work from home I am always available at anytime in case of an emergency as well. I currently have two cats that I care for like they are my children (because they are!) both cats are rescues with very different personalities and comforts. Litter boxes are cleaned daily and deep cleaned weekly. They are fed half wet feed half dry food diet and fed portion sizes, not free fed. We have pet insurance so take them to the vet as we see fit - more than yearly! When I lived with my parents and their dog we would do daily walks/hikes and I also helped train him!

About: I have been surrounded by animals for my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I currently care for two cats and one dog, and I have also owned a bearded dragon, a hamster, a bird, and several fish. While my strongest experience is with cats and dogs, caring for a wide range of animals has helped me develop a strong understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I have a genuine passion for animal care and believe every pet deserves to be treated with the same love, patience, and respect as a member of the family. I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care and am committed to ensuring every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, and that falls into the morning of my weekdays. My job does not take up a lot of my time, I have loads of space to include caring for your wonderful pets.❤️ In my home, we have a fenced in backyard so my dog can run around as much as he wants. I am active with him and we run and walk a lot during the summer. My cats have towers of scratching posts, sprinkled with catnip, and hanging toys. If you and your cat/dog are comfortable, I would love to walk them any time of the day to provide good support to their physical/mental health. Of course treats and water will be provided to ensure a healthy, happy pet!

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog walker and pet sitter professionally for 5 years, and my experience spans all shapes, sizes, personality types and abilities. I’ve been caring for pets since for 10 years, so I’ve pretty much seen it all! Whether it’s giving meds, taking extra-special care of elderly pups with arthritis or dry noses, or helping out with supportive harnesses, I’m here to make life easier for your furry friend. I’ve also worked with dogs who need a little extra TLC, like those with hearing or vision loss, or even pups who need inhalers or eye ointment. I will be starting a new recruiting position that requires a lot of travel. Therefore, I am not taking new clients at this time, but would be happy to try to accommodate previous clients. I will not be offering boarding at this time. I care for pets in my clients home like they are my own and will treat them with kindness and care. I know having new visitors in the home can be stressful for some animals and will be empathetic and gentle. I love to play with all pets and will keep them safe, walked and fed per the client's instruction. I have worked with pets who need special diets and was able to help the owner reach some of their goals.

About: What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience and medical knowledge. I’ve been dogsitting for 7 years, volunteered at animal shelters on and off for the past 4 years, and worked at a dog boarding facility and as a doggy day care attendant for about 1 year. I currently work as a vet assistant at an emergency clinic with almost 2.5 years of veterinary experience. I’m trained to spot early signs of pain, stress, or illness, stay calm in stressful situations, and handle medications and special needs. My biology degree with a psychology minor also helps me understand dog behavior, so I can read body language and help anxious or shy dogs feel safe. Owners can count on me for reliable updates and attentive care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’ve dogsat for 7 years and work as a full time vet assistant at an ER clinic, so my schedule is consistent. I work 7am-7pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus a couple of rotating weekend shifts each pay period. I’m available on Mondays, Thursdays, and most weekends, and I can confirm exact dates in advance. I treat every pet like my own and every home with respect. I follow the owner’s instructions on feeding, medications, routines, and house rules, and I keep dogs safe, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I’m trained to notice signs of stress, pain, or illness, and I’ll update owners with photos and messages during the visit. I always leave the home clean and secure.

About: I’m a full-time student who just recently had to rehome my dog to give him the life he deserves. Dogs are my favorite and I would love to spend my free-time taking your pup for a walk while also helping me hit my daily step goal! You help me and I help you! 😊 I am a full-time student currently on break from school so I have all the free-time possible to take your pup on daily walks whether it’s once a day or three times a day! I unfortunately live in an apartment therefore, I would be unable to bring your pups into my home. I do also do not offer housesitting.

I am happy to discuss with you any specific needs your animal may need. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility and will be able to ensure they get plenty of potty breaks, have fun, get exercise, and are cared for while you're away. I will make sure to be careful with your dog and cautious while taking them on walks or to the dog park to ensure they don't get hurt or in any type of danger.

About: I have taken care of other's dogs, cats, and horses since I was about 11 years old, apart of taking care of my own pets. These connections where for neighbors, friends and family. Breeds have ranged to small dogs to large dogs. I was mainly responsible for feedings (any medications that were needed), walks, and yard/litter clean-up. I work remotely so I am able to be with the pets during the day with any walks during breaks if needed. I have 3 animals, 1 lovable dog and 2 kitties. I usually bring my dog out 4 times for potty and a walk daily. My husband and I also play with our cats daily as they need daily stimulation as well. I would treat your animals as they were my own. Again, I view client's animals as if they were my own. I make sure while you are away that your house is left comfortable and safe for each dog based on their individual needs. I aim to keep their routines the same while you are gone on your adventure!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bloomington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Bloomington is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $30 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,494 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bloomington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bloomington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bloomington. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
