About: I believe that pets should be treated like your own family member. Exercise, affection, grooming and good nutrition are all important to a Happy pet. I've had pets all my life, both cats and dogs as well exotic animals. For the past 15 years, I've had friends, family and co-workers seek me out to care for their pets. They trust my ability and love. I can be there at anytime you need me. Thanks for your concentration and I hope to hear from you soon.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, caring nature and experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’ve dog and house sat for my mom’s friend and other families multiple times, giving them peace of mind while they are away. I treat every furry loved one like family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My schedule is very flexible since I currently only am in two classes and work 2-5pm everyday. This gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. I also have plenty of breaks throughout my daily schedule, or walk-ins or daily walks. I always make sure each dog feels secure and comfortable, whether they’re used to crates or prefer open space. Your furry loved one’s routine and comfort will always come first.
About: I am no stranger to giving both oral and injectable medications. I have owned cats most of my life and have pet sit for as long as I can remember. I am capable of taking care of small animals as well. I’ve also owned rats, mice, hamsters and guinea pigs. Any questions, please ask! Also, please note that a booking is not confirmed or saved until you accept the booking on your end. Without doing so, your dates will not be reserved. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! I currently have an open schedule for all your pet care needs! I can provide temporary pet care as well as extended pet care needs. I currently have 2 cats who are my babies. One of them is on oral meds twice a day. Happy to follow all of your instructions so meet your pet care needs!
About: I have always loved dogs and always wanted one. So since I can’t have one I would love to take care of yours! I have taken care of many dogs of the years. I have watched dogs through house sitting. The longest I watched someone’s dogs was a month. I’m very comfortable around dogs and love them very much. They would get all the love from me! I’m a teacher, so I’m able to take care of your animals on the weekends! I love showing off the pets I get to take care of. Let me show off your fur babies! :) I always clean up after myself and your dog. I make sure your and your dogs needs are always met. I don’t have space for a dog at my own house though.
About: I've been taking care of various kinds of dogs since I was seven years old. In the past two years, have been raising my own hound-mix puppy who I adopted at 8 weeks old. She is now almost 1 year-old. I have experience in feeding, potty training, playing, training, walking, and overall pet care for dogs of any age. I currently have extra time to play to dedicate to playing with your pups! I have availability for Home Visit and Walks weekdays with open availability. Depending on age of your pup, I can easily create a puppy and keep up with supervised visits in your home to ensure they do not get up to any trouble. I can feed, bathe, play, and take your pups on walks! I can give all the pets and cuddles needed as well.

About: I grew up around tons of dogs. I love all types of dogs. I love to treat and snug dogs. I love taking dogs on walks and making them feel loved and happy. It is really important to me that dogs feel comfortable around me so we can enjoy our time together. I cater to all needs and do whatever dogs tell me. Dogs know that is their world and we are leaving in it. I am high energy and loving. I would be great to have as a dog sitter because I love going out and exploring. I can be your dog's new best friend. I will always send you pictures of your dog through out the know so you can stay updated on them!
About: I have always had a dog in my house since I have been a kid. A house is not a home without a dog. I will treat your dog as if he/she were part of my family. I am working part time and want to spend some time with your dog. I work every other weekend as a nurse, and have some free time during the week to check in on your dog while you are away. I can provide walks, medications as needed & play time for your dog. I can groom your dog (if they like it), too! Looking forward to meeting him/her.
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.
“Glen is doing wonderful job with our Sasha. She is more playful and happier in general. She makes him work to start but than enjoys the fresh air and is ready for nap when they get back. Couldn’t be happier!”
“Madison is fantastic, attentive, and goes the extra mile!! Cleo LOVES walks with Madie and her tail wags as soon as she sees her. She has been so reliable and consistent with her help and we appreciate her SO MUCH!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington Heights
Showed up timely, did everything I requested without reminders or assistance. Took several photos and updated us. Did an excellent job adjusting the schedule and watching out for our dog in the extreme heat. Definitely will use Emerson’s services again. Highly recommend.
Amanda is kind, thoughtful, and an absolute lifesaver! Despite it being about twelve million degrees outside, she helped us out SO MUCH by taking our girl out for long walks during a busy work week. Our pup Lettie adores Amanda who is a definite dog-lover; she was playful and caring with Lettie who adored Amanda the second they met. I can’t recommend Amanda enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Bloomington Heights is $11 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $17 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 306 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bloomington Heights. 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 Heights. 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 Heights 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 Heights. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
