“Anna did an amazing job with our two cats, especially our diabetic cat who needs insulin twice daily and potassium. She’s very responsive and communicates well after each visit.”
“I really appreciated how thorough Allison was in her communication with us prior to the drop-in visit and also the note that she provided afterwards. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable, active dog walker who loves spending time outdoors with dogs of all sizes. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, exercise, or just some extra attention while you're away, I'll make sure they're safe, happy, and well cared for. I proudly travel by bicycle, allowing me to provide reliable, eco-friendly dog walks with a focus on my local community. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I’m available 7 days a week and offer flexible scheduling to fit your dog’s needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a weekday walk or weekend care, I’m available to help! Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines. During visits, I'll make sure your dog has fresh water, exercise, attention, and plenty of affection. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved spending time with them. I’m a very active person and enjoy being outside, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I will meet your dog at their level, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy dog or enjoying some chill relaxation together. I can also help with basic training and reinforce good habits. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time as an engineer, but after recently moving to a new state, I’ve been missing having animals around. I decided to join because I’d love to spend time with pets and give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m up early and often up late, and I’m able to check in around lunch during my workday. I’m also available after I get off work at 4 PM, when I can spend more time with your pet, take them for walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. On weekends, I’m available all day and can dedicate as much time as needed to caring for your pet. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secure. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and leaving everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!
About: I have been raising my two Labradors since they were puppies and have also cared for older/elderly dogs of my friends and family. I have lots of energy so can handle energetic dogs. My daytime job is flexible and I often have time in between tasks so that I can be available during the workday, evenings, and weekends! One of my two Labradors lives with me (the other lives with my ex-partner, but he visits from time to time). While we no longer kennel/crate, I do have a crate set up in my living room, if needed. I don't have a fenced in yard, but love taking the dogs to dog parks to run, play, etc.
“Rob was great! We needed to book him last minute for a weekend out of town and he was super quick to jump in and his reports were thorough! He gave great updates on the cats :)”
“Tori did such a wonderful job with the house visits for my two cats when I went out of town. She's friendly, kind and my cats loved her. I will definitely be re-booking with her in the near future!”
“This was the first time we hired someone to watch our cats that wasn’t a friend or a neighbor, but Ben was great with our cats and we will definitely have him take care of them the next time we are out of town!”
“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!”
“Patricia did a great job with my nervous little dog, Allie, who warmed up to her pretty quickly. She was very understanding of/compassionate toward Allie. I will definitely be booking her services again 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!”
“Josephine, was wonderful with my kitty. The pictures she sent everyday gave me so much peace of mind seeing how happy my kitty was to see her and that he was safe! 12/10 would book again.”
“Ed was diligent, punctual, and reliable. He was extremely patient with our senior cat, whose care can be challenging, and used creative problem solving to manage her quirks. His communications were detailed, entertaining, and filled with humor. He clearly enjoyed providing care to our two cats and we would have him back in a heartbeat.”
“Clara did a fantastic job of taking care of my two cats, when I returned they were the same happy cats as when I left. She was great about communicating about what was going on with the cats and I got to see pictures of them frequently, which assured me that they were in good hands. I highly recommend her services.”
“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!”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for animals, dogs have truly been a lifelong passion of mine. I also have professional experience as a certified dog trainer with Petco, giving me a strong background in canine behavior, body language, socialization, basic obedience and enrichment. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels and personalities, including puppies, seniors, shy or anxious dogs, high-energy dogs and dogs who simply need a little extra patience. After years of providing full-time dog care, I am now intentionally focusing on a smaller number of boarding guests at a time. This allows me to provide more individualized attention and create a comfortable home-away-from-home experience rather than a busy daycare environment. I also offer dog walking and care in your home for pets who are happiest in their own environment. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I tailor my care to the individual dog rather than expecting every dog to fit into the same routine. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits and overall comfort, and communication with pet parents is extremely important to me. Your pet isn't just another booking. I want to get to know who they are. 💜 Pet care has been a major part of my daily life for years, so my schedule is built around the animals in my care. For boarding, I intentionally accept a limited number of dogs so I can provide plenty of individual attention, potty breaks, outdoor time, enrichment, play, rest and affection throughout their stay. I do my best to maintain each dog's normal feeding and sleeping routine so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. I also offer walks and in-home visits throughout the week. These are customized around your pet's routine and can include walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, enrichment and companionship. Whether your dog is staying with me or I'm coming to them, my goal is quality time and individualized care rather than simply checking a box on a schedule. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I take time to learn each pet's personality, routine, boundaries, medical needs and comfort level before deciding what their care should look like. Dogs boarding in my home have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of space to play, explore or simply relax. Because I now keep my boarding numbers intentionally small, I can closely supervise interactions and give dogs space and downtime when they need it. I never assume that every dog wants to socialize or play the same way. Introductions, activities and interactions are based on the individual dog's temperament and comfort. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your home and your pet's established routine. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, doors, gates, crates and household safety.
“Carla goes above and beyond to care for our furry family. She is warm, reliable, and always makes my young daughter smile with her texts about how our dogs are doing each day. Highly recommend!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
We had such a great experience with Jada! She was prompt, incredibly kind, and took great care of our husky, Bosco. I really appreciated that she sent pictures during every visit—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her! 🐾❤️ Sorry for the late review!
Josephine is so reliable, responsive and a great communicator. She cares about the animals and does a stellar job with all the chores every time. Because my husband’s travel schedule is often last minute, I can’t plan ahead on my needs for cat and bird care, so I appreciate so much how she jumps into action at the last minute to take on my needy household!!
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!

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 September 2026, there are 5,815 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.

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.
