“I've hired Annika multiple times to take care of my cat Nala and she always has done a great job. In addition to taking care of Nala she has consistently helped with other house-sitting tasks. I look forward to working with her in the future!”
“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!”
“Carla is the best! I totally trust my precious girls with her! She provides timely updates and pics and is always willing to help- this trip she kept an eye out for packages on my front steps. Highly recommend!!!”
“Tori took great care of our cat for 5 days and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back to take care of Mr T again. I appreciated receiving photos while I was away. Tori is great to work with!”
“My boyfriend and I had Ed watch our cat and dog while we were traveling, and Ed was nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and flexible in working with us to meet our pet's needs. Ed clearly enjoys being with animals, and naturally spoils your pets like they are his own. Highly recommend Ed to anyone, as myself and my boyfriend anticipate asking for his assistance in the future!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Julia is absolute gold. From the moment I booked her, I felt completely at ease — and that peace of mind is priceless when it comes to my cats. Merman and Calpurnia were happy, relaxed, and clearly so well cared for while I was away (which tells you everything). Julia is dependable, communicative, and genuinely loving with animals. She sent thoughtful updates, followed instructions perfectly, and treated both my home and my cats with so much respect. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book her again — she’s the kind of sitter you hope to find and then never want to let go of. Highly, highly recommend!”
“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: Lifelong dog lover and now the proud owner of a standard poodle. Experienced in providing enrichment activities for dogs of all ages! Including long walks/hikes, trick training, puzzle toys and just plain old goofing around! Currently working on a career change into IT with a flexible learning schedule! So I am proud to offer flexible scheduling including weekends, and any odd hours! I will always take your wishes and instructions to heart for how to handle your pets! Their safety will always be my number one priority while under my care.
About: I have two golden retrievers who I both love dearly. One of my dogs is blind, so I’ve developed a gentle and attentive approach to help her feel safe and confident— whether it’s at home or in unfamiliar environments. My other golden and I were a certified therapy dog team for six months, which gave me the gift of seeing the greater good that dogs can do. Whenever I’m not at home with my own dogs, I am sure to find another furry friend because there’s no such thing as too much dog time! I can help on the weekends as well as early mornings and late afternoon/evenings throughout the week! I am free for occasional visits as well as more regular visits. I have a 13 year old dog who is still pretty energetic, but also takes more time for naps. He will sometimes try to escape on walks, so I make sure to be present when we’re outside. My other dog is blind, so I take extra precautions to ensure her safety in the home/outdoor environment.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since my younger years. I currently have one dog and two cats. They are all almost 10 years old. I work remote and my availability is very flexible. I can do drop in visits throughout the day. My schedule makes me available more often to take care of your furry family member. I would love to visit your pets , feed them, take on walks or just play. Can administer medications as well. Good at trimming cats nails

Once again, I am so grateful to Josephine, who follows through with chores in a timely manner, communicating with me about how things are going each visit, with pictures included. She’s so positive and understanding about everything. Thank you again for giving me a worry-free trip!!❤️
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!
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 of Pet Sitting in Bloomington is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 5,731 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
