“As always Alexandra goes above and beyond to be sure my cat is doing well, even offering to make a second visit one day to ensure she is eating ok. I have no worries during my absence: Alexandra's reports are detailed and helpful; photos are great. I already have her booked for a later trip. Thanks Alexandra!”

About: I've cared for many cats and dogs, from pit bulls to terriers to English bulldogs. I have experience with puppy training, senior dog care, and oral medication administration. I'm a patient and compassionate pet owner, and I promise to treat your fur babies with the same love and care I would my own. I'm also a graduate music student in case your pet might want to be serenaded by a french horn :) I'm a musician and graduate student at Bard. My schedule changes quite a bit, but I always have a good idea of what my schedule will look well in advance. In addition, I am generally free most mornings, and can often be flexible. I'm very happy to provide your dog(s) with walks, food, brushing, bathing, and medication. I love to play fetch with dogs, go on walks or hikes, visit dog parks, cuddle, practice tricks, or any other enriching activity. With cats, I love to cuddle, play, and practice or try new tricks with treats.

“Nicole was great! It was so nice knowing that my dog was well taken care of and comfortable while I was on vacation. I won't be using a kennel or boarder ever again. My jack russel mix can be a handful at times but Nicole handled him very well and kept me in the loop with how he was doing. Overall wonderful experience.”

“Andialisa was phenomenal! I have a special needs cat so I get very worried about leaving him. She was always on time, gave detailed updates, sent pictures, and took the most amazing care of my Loki. She followed all of my directions and was so kind and gentle. Loki is a big scardey cat so the fact he was sitting outside of the closet and engaging with her is still crazy to me haha. She even was willing to come meet him prior to caring for him that weekend so he could familiarize himself with her scent. 15/10 will absolutely be booking with her again. I’m so happy I found her!”

About: I enjoy working with all types of animals, Small, Medium and Large types. Places like parrots, fish, non venomous snakes and of all types critters. My schedule is very open and flexible do to my availability as a disabled veteran. My day starts at 4 am and ends as needed bases. At home, I usually free range my dog on a 50ft tether when he isnt snuggled on the couch corner, my cats usually get a vertical climb and horizontal run time. #Zoomies, multiple litter boxes with weekly care. Bird feeder outside for there viewing and chatting pleasure. Ive taken the pleasure of not wearing smells that disrupt respiratory systems to exotics and other animals like reptiles.

About: I have experience with many different dog breeds with different energy and health needs. I give all of the animals under my care the same treatment. I would take care of a super senior cat with the same dedication I would a golden retriever puppy. I'm not squeamish at all either, I'm comfortable dealing with body fluids and administering injection and medications. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters so i've seen it all! Currently, my only commitments are helping to babysit younger family members, which is flexible schedule and only part-time. I have lots of time to not only take care of your animals, but also play with them and give them good entertainment My own dog is a runner, so I am hypervigilant about making sure animals don't dart out doors. I always make sure I physically see the animal and watch them to make sure they look healthy and happy, I don't just leave food and water and go home. I'm more than happy to give daily updates on animals i'm watching there are owners out of town and take pictures

“Oona took such good care of our cat Charlie and our home while we were in the hospital for the week giving birth to our daughter. She was flexible with the days/time given our situation and kept in contact to let us know how Charlie was doing. We returned home to a super clean house, she even watered the plants and took in all our packages. Charlie seemed happy, was brushed and well fed. Highly recommend her to take care of your pet/home, we will definitely reach back out to her as needed.”

My cats quickly warm up to Jen so I know she has some special aura that puts them at ease. They were all well taken care of and she gives great updates. I’ll definitely see if she can watch them again in the future.

We're so thankful for Jen's great care of our 15-year-old tabby cat. She's communicative, compassionate, and reliable. Our cat loves her and we know that he's in good hands.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Bloomington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 125 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

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

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 83% 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.

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.
