“Hao was a wonderful dog sitter and took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly very kind with animals. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Communication was smooth and he kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Hao to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Christine is amazing! She communicates well, is very pleasant, flexible and I am so happy to have her watch our dog. He had a great time, they walked, played, cuddled and it was nice to get photo updates. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone and will definitely be taking our boy to her in the future.”
“We had such an amazing experience with Tsz. She went above and beyond while we were on vacation, consistently sending pictures and videos that gave us so much peace of mind. It really meant a lot to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. At the end of each day, she also provided detailed updates and notes about feedings, activities, and how everything went, which we truly appreciated. It showed how attentive and organized she is. Our 11-month-old Golden Retriever absolutely loved her, and it was clear she treated him like her own. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. 10/10 would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Mahan took such great care of our girl, Twix, this weekend. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Twix was in such good hands. You can tell Mahan genuinely cares — we came home to a happy, well-looked-after doggy. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”
“I wanted to thank Dommond and Hilda for taking excellent care of our 2 year old Havenese dog Rocky! We left Rocky in their care for approximately 8 days for day care then 11 nights while we were away on vacation. It was our first time leaving Rocky and it was very difficult for us. Dommond and Hilda were simply fantastic with Rocky. We received daily photos and updates. We picked her up last night and she was a happy dog! Thank you Dommond and Hilda once again for taking great care of Rocky! We will see you again.”
“Simba had an amazing stay! We could tell he was happy, well cared for, and enjoyed his time. The daily updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, and we really appreciated the care and attention. We’ll definitely be boarding our fur baby here again. Thank you for taking such great care of Simba!”
“Lisa and Kam were phenomenal and meticulous sitters! My dog Penny, is on a raw food diet and they took the time to understand how she needed to be feed. After picking her up, I realized they washed all her pre-packaged meal boxes (20!) that I had prepared. It was a gesture that I hadn’t requested nor have other sitters done before. Penny had a great time playing with the other dogs and I also appreciated the daily pictures and videos they sent.”
“Our husky Basha had a great stay with Xintian and family. Although he had some separation anxiety and some nervous behavior due to an encounter with a different dog in the days prior to him staying, Xintian and family were so patient and understanding with him and kept us up to date with pictures, videos and messages to keep our mind at ease! Would definitely recommend to have your dog stay here. They truly gave him a home away from home!”
“Milo (the puppy) was treated with great care and concern by Lucy, who was amazing. Every day, Lucy gave me multiple updates on his care and socialization with other dogs. I couldn't ask for a better person to care for Milo while we were on vacation. I am certain that I will be using her services in the future. I would highly recommend Lucy. 5✨”
“Melissa is awesome, super flexible and relaxed. Our pup Ray has stayed with her 2X now and each time it is effortless and no stress. We don’t have to worry about a single thing when it comes to her being cared and loved for. We definitely recommend Melissa for all your pet sitting needs! Thank you Melissa for taking care of Ray! We thank you so much!”
“Excellent experience with our Husky staying with Kelly for 2 weeks while we were traveling! She was well cared for, and was happy, and calm when we returned. Would chose Kelly again, and highly recommend.”
About: 🐾 Service available in English & Cantonese (廣東話) Hi! I’m Katrina. I live with my family and our sweet 7 year old Bichon Frise, Tofu. My family and I have spent the past seven years raising Tofu and caring for dogs belonging to our friends and family, and I’d love to welcome your dog into our home too. My mom is home full-time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. We live in a quiet neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard, and we only host one family’s dog(s) at a time to provide a calm, personalized experience. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your dog happiest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, and my mom is home full-time, so there’s almost always someone home to keep your dog company. We are also home on weekends. We’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, most importantly, stick to the routine they’re used to. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We will ensure your dog’s regular routine is followed to make them comfortable away from home. Our home is clean, dog-friendly, and designed with your pup in mind. We have plenty of toys, cozy places to rest, and baby gates available if a dog needs their own space. We live in a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. Our home is shared with our 7-year-old Bichon Frise, Tofu, and because we don’t have young children and only host one family’s dog(s) at a time, we provide a calm, low-stress environment. You’ll also receive regular photo updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“I boarded my cat Nova with Lisa for a few days. She did an amazing job caring for Nova and providing updates throughout the day. Nova definitely enjoyed her stay. Thank you Lisa.”
“Xi always takes care of Lemon as if he were her own dog. She is truly amazing—she sends lots of photo and video updates, which always gives me peace of mind. Lemon always comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It really feels like a second home because of all the love, attention, and care he receives. Thank you so much, Xi! We appreciate everything you do.”
“Jin took excellent care of our little dog, Boba. We were initially anxious about leaving her behind but we appreciated how Jin sent us an update and photos immediately after drop off to let us know that our fur baby was settling down nicely. This gesture put our minds at ease and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Additionally, Jin sent us updates and photos multiple times a day. Honestly, Boba may have looked happier in Jin's care than ours. She was smiling brightly, asking for belly rubs, hanging out with Muffin (Jin's dog), and frolicking in the backyard.”
“Chloe was a very happy dog when we picked her up and was talen care of very well. There was lots of communication, pictures and vedios while we were away so we were at ease Chloe was doing well!”
“Diana and Kris did an excellent job. They took good care of our toy poodle Luca who is an active dog and likes to be the centre of attraction. Diana went above and beyond because she was able to teach some tricks to Luca. They consistently sent photos and videos while we were away for 4days and kept us informed about Luca’s well being. It really gave us peace of mind because she was comfortable with them specially with their kids. We were so fortunate to have found a reliable pet sitter for Luca. We highly recommend them!”
“Poppy had a wonderful time staying with Angela. She provided frequent updates to ease our minds since this was our first time leaving Poppy with a sitter. Our dog was so happy to play with Quentin so much that she didn't want to go home when we came to pick her up. We will definitely be boarding here again the next time we go on a trip!”
“Yue did a wonderful job with our puppy. It was our first time leaving her and she did so much to re -assure us our puppy was in good hands. She sent us updates and pictures and was so loving and kind. Thanks so much Yue. We will definitely be booking with Yue on our next trip away.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
I had a wonderful experience with Allyson! She was excellent with communication throughout Luna’s stay, regularly sending photos and updates on how Luna was doing, which really put my mind at ease. Her home was very clean, and her dog was an absolute sweetheart! Luna also seemed to really enjoy spending time with Allyson’s daughter. Allyson was very accommodating and flexible when I needed to make slight adjustments to the drop-off and pick-up times, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, Luna seemed to have a fantastic time and came home happy! I would definitely recommend Allyson and would happily book with her again.
This was our first time boarding our dog, Arlo, overnight, and because he can be a bit of an anxious dog, we were naturally nervous about leaving him. We weren’t sure how he would adjust to being away from us, but from the moment we met Nan, we felt reassured. It was immediately clear how much she genuinely loves and understands dogs, and her experience and calm, caring nature gave us confidence that Arlo would be well looked after. What meant the most to us were the regular updates throughout his stay. Nan sent photos and videos every day, and seeing Arlo looking relaxed, happy, and comfortable was such a relief. As anxious dog parents, those updates helped us feel connected to him and gave us peace of mind knowing he was settling in and enjoying himself. Nan treated Arlo like one of her own. It was obvious he was getting lots of attention, exercise, affection, and patience—something that is especially important for a dog who can be a little anxious in new situations. She took the time to make him feel safe and comfortable, and it truly showed. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and completely at ease. Seeing him so content after his first overnight stay away from home meant everything to us. We are so grateful to Nan for taking such wonderful care of Arlo and making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. ❤️🐾
Pei-Shan was an amazing sitter for Winston. Along with her furbaby Albus they hosted Winston for a fun weekend. Winston is usually very shy and anxious, but Pei-Shan made Winston feel at home. I received lots of updates and photos of their hangout. Thank you for having Winston!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bloomington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Bloomington
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
