“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”

About: From puppies to seniors, I spent the last 15 years helping raise two adorable labs and I’ve been caring for animals since I could basically walk. These days, I share my home with Jepsen, my 4.5 year old cat, who loves waking me up in the middle of the night by turning on my HomePods when she thinks it's time I feed her... Whether it’s a high energy pup or a chill senior cat, I understand what each stage of life needs - patience, play, and plenty of care. I work from home, so I can give your pet the time, attention, and belly rubs they deserve. I’ve got a soft spot for animals of all kinds—honestly, how can you not love them, even when they’re being a little chaotic? I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine with relative ease. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or overnight stays, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m caring for pets in your home, their comfort and safety come first. I always follow your instructions closely. Whether it’s feeding routines, medication, crate time, or quirky habits that make your pet feel secure. For walks and drop-ins, I stay alert and focused, making sure your pet is safe and happy. For overnight stays, I treat your space with respect and keep things calm and consistent so your pet feels at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel cared for, and for you to feel 100% confident they’re in good hands.
“Anne was great and my cats Miki and Nola loved her! She spent time playing and bonding with them and everything was clean and taken care of, including the mess that Miki made of the litter. I appreciated all the pictures and updates as well! I definitely recommend Anne and will be contacting her in the future!”
“Daniel was great with my dog Pepper. He did a meet and greet with her prior to my trip to ensure they started out as fast friends. Pepper enjoyed her time with Daniel as easily scene in the many photos he provided. I had no concerns with him dropping in on Pepper my home and I appreciated his short-notice availability and flexibility. I hope to use Daniel again very soon.”
“Emily was so great for our kitties during our recent absence! One of our kitties had been sick and was still receiving oral medication, so I was very nervous about leaving her behind. Emily put my mind completely at ease. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring. We felt so lucky to have found her and will absolutely reach out for drop-in visits again.”
“Jessica was fabulous! I can't say enough about how prompt, communicative, and accommodating she was with our cat. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right, and her updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I’m incredibly thankful for her care and will absolutely be using her again without hesitation!”

About: I’ve owned cats my whole life, but I love animals of all kinds! I have experience working with dogs cats, rabbits, reptiles, birds, and other small mammals. I started petsitting for my neighbors when I was 12, and I started volunteering at the Animal Humane Society when I was 16. I’m comfortable with administering medications, specific diets, and special needs of any kind, including senior pets. I work full time in Bloomington. My schedule is 10:00-6:30, Monday through Thursday, and 8:30-5:00 on Fridays. I am free before and after work. I have open availability on Saturday and Sunday. I will treat you, your pet, and your home with kindness and respect. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and your space exactly as you left it.
“Amy took amazing care of our cat Stitches while we were away. She was very communicative and attentive when he had an upset tummy. I felt confident he was in good hands with Amy. In my opinion she went above and beyond my expectations for drop in visits. Highly recommend Amy!”

Eddie W.
“Eddie has been amazing with our 5-year-old Aussie Doodle, who is truly the most important part of our lives (no judgment!). Our pup can be anxious around new people (especially when they come into our house without us), so we're extremely careful. From the start, Eddie had a calm and gentle presence that immediately put him at ease...something that’s pretty rare. What we love most about Eddie is how attentive and in tune he is. He knows when our dog wants to play, when he needs a slower walk, or just some quiet company. He’s patient, caring, and totally trustworthy. Our dog absolutely lights up when Eddie shows up, which is the best reassurance we could ask for. We don’t trust many people with our dog, but we trust Eddie completely. He’s been a wonderful part of our dog’s life, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter or walker.”

Cedar-Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was fabulous! I can't say enough about how prompt, communicative, and accommodating she was with our cat. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right, and her updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I’m incredibly thankful for her care and will absolutely be using her again without hesitation!
Anne did a terrific job of taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. Above and beyond the usual tasks of feeding them and cleaning out the litter box, she played with them, brushed them, and took cute pictures of them. We could tell from the pictures that they were happy while we were away, and could tell right away when we got home that they had been well cared for while we were gone. We'd definitely hire Anne again.
Sarah went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy. Sarah watched our 8 month old kitten for our first trip away. She jumped in and helped out with a jammed auto feeder, administered meds, and played with kitty cat non stop! I felt a lot of peace leaving our cat in such great hands.
Samantha was amazing! She went above and beyond with our two cats. She did everything we asked and more. She was great at communicating the whole time and seems to have good experience with cats. We would highly recommend Samantha and would personally use her services again.
