“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.”
“Rob was an excellent sitter for our cat. He responded quickly to messages and was willing to adjust based on additional requests we had and gave us information on how he saw our cat Nephi was doing. Very grateful for him and highly recommend him.”
“Josie meets every expectation we could have for our first time "Drop-in" Daily caretaker of our two big boy cats, Jondular and Tonga. This is the first time we have used Rover and we are thrilled with the outcome. Before we always took our cats in carriers to places where they sat in cages and they were very unhappy so we were unhappy too. When we discovered Rover we were so relieved. Josie has had plenty of experience with cats and was top notch all the way! Thank you Josie and we will be asking you back next time which may be soon.”
“Highly recommend! It was obvious from the fabulous photos that Gabriella made my cat feel extremely comfortable and cared for. Her in-depth reports gave me immense peace of mind while I was out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Patricia was excellent with my cat! Bucky ran right up to her and was very comfortable with her, judging by the pictures! She played with Bucky, gave her lots of pets, and followed all instructions. I would book Patricia again in the future.”
“Lauren was great to work with and very communicative! We felt comfortable with her taking care of our cat, Beau, and will definitely book again if we need help in the future. We loved all the pictures we received too!”
“Carla was amazing looking after our fur babies! Easy communication and very friendly and reliable. This was our first time leaving them for the weekend. So glad we found her!”
“Clara took excellent care of my kitties while I was away! Great communication and response time. I would recommend Clara for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Val is incredibly responsible and a good communicator! So thankful we found her—her flexible schedule and experience with dogs who are high energy/anxious was so great!”
About: I have been around and worked with many different dog breeds and a good few age differences. I have been around dogs off and on throughout so many years, I miss a few old pets that I’ve spent years with at a time. A lot of times having to watch them or do things that the dogs need like playing, walking, feeding and so on. So I’m pretty comfortable with learning how these dogs like to be cared for and played with! I work part time but in looking for full time, but I have a lot of free time when I do not work to take care of dogs! Well I don’t hope to have to take too many home offers, unless mainly walks, because I prefer any of my clients home environment just so it’s more safe and trusting for the dog and I, but I will say that I’m very respectful when it comes to anything that isn’t mine. I would just live specified details on what the client would prefer for whichever service is being take care of!
“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!”
“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 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 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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Bloomington is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
Josephine is so diligent and faithful with taking care of our animals. I am so appreciative of her communications and updates and addressing special concerns and needs. She reassured me that all was well with my cat’s health — a constant worry of mine since several emergency visits to vets over the years.
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!
Emma Rose went above and beyond for our pets! Right from the get go, I was impressed with her thoughtful communication, attention to detail, and genuine desire to make our cats as comfortable as possible while we were away. She is clearly passionate about providing the best care possible and loves ALL animals. We highly recommend her services!!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bloomington on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,804 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bloomington. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
