About: I have always been an animal lover. As a kid, I had a guinea pig and a dog, and I spent a lot of my time at a farm, riding and caring for horses. Aside from taking care of my family dog, I have looked after the pets of friends and acquaintances. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I have volunteered in animal shelters and sanctuaries, and previously worked with a dog groomer, bathing and drying dogs. I work a part-time 11am-5pm job, mostly on weekends, along with some special events. I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule, so I can arrange it to fit with other responsibilities, such as pet sitting needs! I have a fenced yard, perfect for playing! I currently do not have any pets. I love to provide pets with the entertainment exercise they need, and I'm always happy to give cuddles if your pet likes physical affection, or space if they prefer to keep some distance.
“Bridget is great! She is always on time, follows my instructions carefully and is very communicative. And most importantly she is fantastic with my dog. My dog has weird little quirks and can be very excitable and Bridget is great about it all. No notes, I’m glad to have found her.”

“Katherine far exceeded any expectations I had for my dog’s care. Katherine always changed the water and put out a lunch I would leave for my dog as well as a biscuit when she left…Katherine gave nice long walks and was always on time and usually gave more than the normal 30 minutes! Sadie loved her…I’ll be using Katherine again!”

When I am not caring for animals and house sitting I am a nursing student and child care professional. I will give your fur baby plenty of care and affection!

My goal is to offer a comforting environment to your pet while you are away. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility needed to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I’m available some weekends as well. Hi, I’m Rosalia! Animals have been a central part of my life for over three decades. Over the past 30+ years, I have raised, trained, and loved dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I train my own dogs using positive reinforcement, which means I understand canine body language, boundaries, and how to encourage good behavior.Whether your furry family member is an energetic puppy who needs consistent routine and patience, or a sweet senior who requires gentle care, medication, and a slow pace, I know exactly what it takes to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: I've had animals most of my life and genuinely love fur babies. Friends and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, board, and care for their pets of all different breeds because of my love for animals and my attention to each animal’s unique needs. I currently have two pups, Mr. Milo and Bellarina, and have personally owned dogs of different life stages, from puppy to elderly. I have experience with adult and elderly cat care as well. I started on Rover to be able to care for as many dogs and cats as possible, since my schedule affords me that freedom. I can’t get enough! I’d be honored to care for your fur babies with the care and attention they deserve. I currently work mostly from home, with two days per week in the office. I'm available for boarding Thursday through Sunday morning (early morning pickup), and dog walking almost every day of the week. I have a fully fenced in yard and a sweet puggle named Milo who gets along with dogs, cats, and babies. I have a spare bedroom if your furry friend needs to be separated from Milo and plenty of room for your crate or other beds, toys, etc.

About: Hi! I’m a proud dog mama to two wonderful dogs—a Pit Bull/Lab mix and an Australian Cattle Dog. 🐾 I’m familiar with using flat collars, prong collars, and slip leads, and I understand the importance of using the right equipment safely and appropriately. I’ve also taken several dog-training classes with my own dogs, giving me a good foundation in leash handling, communication, basic obedience, and training techniques. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family in the past, caring for dogs in their homes and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I currently work full-time, but I’m available Friday evenings and have flexible availability throughout the weekends. I’d be happy to work with you to find a time that fits your schedule and your dog’s needs. Since I don’t have a fenced in yard, I’m used to providing my dogs with structured exercise and supervision. My older dog is leash-walked, while my younger dog is allowed off-leash using an e-collar in appropriate settings. We incorporate training throughout the day, along with plenty of playtime, exercise, and mental stimulation. This routine has given me experience balancing safety, structure, training, and fun while caring for dogs with different ages and energy levels.
About: I grew up around animals, from birds and hermit crabs to cats and dogs, my household has always been filled with pets.

I currently work part time and I’m a full time grad student, but I have my own transportation so my schedule is open and flexible. I will schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet to learn all about their unique quirks, likes, dislikes, and routines prior to beginning services with them. I ensure a safe environment by using non-retractable leashes on walks and will send you updates while I am with your pet. Your pet's safety is my top priority.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 759 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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
