“Iris was fantastic! She was able to help out last minute, even though we had never met before, and she immediately put me at ease. She showed up right on time, took great care of Tussey, and sent plenty of pictures during the walk. It was such a relief knowing Tussey was in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”

“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: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine passion for animals combined with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I specialize in both puppy training and senior dog care, which means I’m not just here to watch over your dog I’m here to support their well-being at every stage of life. With puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping them build confidence, learn basic commands, and feel safe in new environments. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to their comfort, health routines, and any mobility challenges they may have. I also prioritize clear communication with pet parents, keeping you updated with photos, messages, and detailed notes so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Above all, I treat every dog like family—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I organize my days around making sure each dog in my care gets the attention, activity, and comfort they need—whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply quiet companionship. I set aside time every day for exercise, training, and one-on-one interaction to build trust and keep pets happy and mentally stimulated. On a weekly basis, I plan for grooming needs, restocking supplies, and adjusting routines to fit each pet’s personality and preferences. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where each animal feels comfortable and cared for. In My Home: I maintain a calm and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and explore. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and preferred activities. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure personalized attention and a peaceful atmosphere. In My Client’s Home: I respect your home as if it were my own and follow your pet’s established routine to keep them as relaxed and happy as possible. I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and emotionally cared for. I also keep the space clean, send regular updates, and can handle light home tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants if needed. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I treat them like family—with patience, love, and reliability.

About: I’m a mother of two, who has had a lifetime of pets and animal experience. I know the anxiety of trusting your fur baby with a stranger, so I look forward to building a relationship with you and your animals and providing care as if they were my own. I have decades worth of experience with dogs, cats, small mammals, and birds. I also have experience with special needs animals, specifically administering insulin to diabetic cats. Now that both my kids are in school full time, I am creating that next chapter of my life. I have been a full time care giver for the last 10 years to my babies so I’d like to continue my work of caregiving and give back to my community by helping with our beloved pets. I am a responsible and experienced mother to both humans and fur babies alike with over 30 years of caring for my own cats, dogs, and small mammals.

About: I’ve been a loving and hands-on dog owner for the past 8 years. We welcomed our dog into our family when she was just 4 months old, so I’ve been there for every stage of her life—from puppyhood through adulthood. I took her to puppy training classes and have experience with regular vet visits, baths, and caring for allergies, including cleaning her ears when she needs extra attention. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with the less glamorous parts of pet care, too! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I can be flexible around your pet’s routine and needs. I love having the opportunity to spend my time caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to their routines, behavior, and individual needs, and I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, allergies, or other special care. In a client’s home, I’ll treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own home. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye out for anything that could be unsafe, and give pets plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away.

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 have had dogs and cats in my life since i was born. i trained my dog since she was 10 weeks and she wound up having very good recall and other skills like “touch” and “kennel”. she crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years ago and i’ve been needing some dog time since. she was very reactive and anxious at times so i have a very firm grasp on dog body language, and how to make them feel safe and comfortable. i have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes and am always happy to help with training and maintaining skills. I work night shift in the ER so depending on the day I’m either sleeping during the day or up later in the day. On my days off i’m usually free between 12pm and 11pm. On the days I work I’m free usually between 4pm and 9pm. I work every other weekend and alternating weekdays. I love making any pets feel comfortable and safe, and I do this by paying attention to their body language and the messages they’re sending me. I make sure my pets are well fed, well exercised, and feeling content with their living situation.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets my entire life — cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, hermit crabs, etc. That includes care for kittens and puppies as well as senior animals who require special care and/or medication administration. I’ve helped family members and friends with their pet care needs as well, and I am looking forward to using my skills and love of animals to care for your pets as I would my own. ❤️ I am currently between jobs, so my schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m able to make myself available whenever needed. I have some other non-W2 related commitments, but again, nothing with strict time constraints. I have experience working with shy and/or unpredictable animals, and I’m willing to take whatever time is necessary to become acquainted with your pet so that it’s an enjoyable experience for both of us! I feel comfortable working with shy, rowdy, big, small, young and old animals, and will treat each as I would my own.

About: I have one large energetic Aussie. He taught me a lot about how to work with dogs that have aggressive tendencies. I also know how to groom pets and give them baths even the ones that don't like water. I trained him to do many tricks as a puppy and worked with obedience. I love high energy dogs that need long walks/ playtime or runs. I am taking a gap semester and am available full time. I plan on trying out new things and seeing new places. My schedule is flexible and am just trying to navigate a new place. I take care of pets by taking them out for multiple walks per day, making sure they have water and food. Playing with them and giving overall 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: My pet care experience is really just time spent with animals. All through my life I have had cats, right now I have sweet girl Lexi. We've also had gerbils, a guinea pig, frogs, and mice (yes, as pets)! Although I have never owned a dog, I am blessed with many friends who do. I definitely have lots of "time spent with dogs" hours under my belt. On a fun side note, I have a couple friends who live on farms with horses, chickens, dogs, etc! My occupation title right now is "stay at home daughter," lol so I have lots of open availability. With the open availability comes a lot of flexibility! I am hoping to create my own life path someday, so for now just doing remote work and odd jobs here and there. And hugging doggos :) Growing up in the cat world, I learned quick that pets have boundaries and may need time to gain your trust. A huge part of safety for the pet is being able to read behaviors and guess their next move. They're all so different! My cats are the same breed. One LOVES her back scratched, the other one hates it and will let you know to stop. Beyond attending to my pets basic needs, I love playing with them, making new toys or new environments to play in. Its so entertaining for both of us!

About: With over 20 years of experience in the pet industry, caring for animals isn't just my passion—it's a way of life!

Some weekends might be available as well depending on what I have going on I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply lounging and getting extra cuddles, I make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home.

I am long overdue in leaving a review for Christina. She has been walking my dog twice a week* for the last year and she is awesome! She is super reliable and always shows up, rain or shine, snow or ice or subzero temps. My dog eagerly awaits her arrival and is so excited to see her!! *When I was super busy at work, she offered up additional days during the week to walk my dog which was a life saver! Christina loves and cares for my dog as if he were her own. During walks she tries to teach him new tricks and is eager to share what he learned. She often checks in after our vacations and holidays to see how he is doing and to let me know how excited she is to see him again. I feel so fortunate to have her to take care of my energetic pup!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bloomington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Bloomington is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 5,448 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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 Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
