“Georgia was available on somewhat short notice to look in on our two older cats while we went away for the weekend. She was always on time and gave them attention when they needed it. Was able to give insulin shots with no issues. She was great with communication and showed respect to our home and property. Will definitely keep her in mind for our future cat care needs!”
“Amber is super accommodating and flexible with all the odd requests that I have used her services for! She’s exceptional at listening to direction and helping with training!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a kid. Not only my own pets, but also neighbors, friends and family. Including cats, dogs, and even turtles. I work full time from 8am-4:30pm M-F. I am available to stop by before and after work. I am also free anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. Provide regular updates on pet(s). Familiarize myself with the vets location & hours. Make sure I am aware of any and all medical needs, house/pet rules, etc.
About: I have owned dogs since I was a kid and still do. I have had experience with many different breeds and ages as well. I have experience with cats but I have been attacked and they make me nervous but with the appropriate introduction I am just fine. I care for my neighbors dogs quite often as he’s a firefighter and I have been doing that for over 2 years. I have trained many young dogs but i’m not a dog trainer. I go to school full time but only attend 3 in person classes, but I can let you know my school schedule upon request. I also work part time at night starting at 4, again I can provide a schedule upon request. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities during every walk and drop-in visit. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for. During walks, I use safe leash-handling practices and pay close attention to our surroundings. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your home, and to provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. 🐾😊
“Gabrielle was great! She was available for me last minute. She kept me updated about the dogs and sent me photos that gave me a reassurance that they were in good hands! Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tiffanie! I was so at ease knowing she was looking after my pup. She’s extremely trustworthy and great with pets. She provides great notes, feedback, and pics during her drop ins.”
“absolutely the best! when Jaclyn is booked for my cat, i always feel confident when going out of town. she’s prompt, courteous and accommodating and i know my cat trusts her! 😊”
“Alyssa was amazing! We were so nervous to leave our 4-month-old kitten at home while we were on vacation. We have an 8-year-old cat as well, who loves alone time…but our kitten needs a lot more attention! Alyssa sent so many pictures and detailed updates. We felt at ease knowing she was there! (:”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and reptiles since I was young. I have several years of experience pet sitting for family and friends, including caring for pets while their owners are away on vacation and providing regular daily check-ins. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I always make sure pets receive plenty of care, attention, and love, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week, including weekends and overnight stays. I have 2 short classes MWF from 10-10:50 and Tues/Thurs 2-3:15. But, I am available before and after class and can easily work around your pets routine and needs! I will care for your pets in your home by following their routines, feeding, walking, and giving them lots of love and attention! I am willing to stay overnight when needed to keep your pets company and will always send regular updates throughout my visits.
About: I have been a pestsitter since 2018. From just a simple check-in to in-home sitting for 4 months, I've had a wide variety of experiences. I am available early morning, short afternoons, and evenings. I can provide morning and evening check-ins, in-home care, and walks. I work full-time, so any afternoon care would be during my hour break. With in-home care, I ensure I get as much information needed to properly care for the pet(s) and the home. I do my best to provide the pet(s) with nearly the same care they receive normally. I always make sure to eat my own food and clean the home before my departure.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have helped care for pets for friends, neighbors, and family for many years. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and larger breeds, and I enjoy making sure they get plenty of exercise and a consistent care. I’m a student and nanny with flexibility for daily walks and drop-ins. I keep a consistent schedule and communicate clearly with pet parents. I am relocating to Bloomington on August 24th, and will have early mornings through evenings (5:00am-10:00pm) fully available for several weeks. As a nanny, I’m dependable and attentive to routines. I respect each client’s home and follow your pet’s care instructions closely. I’m happy to provide drop-ins, walks, and photo updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
“Hannah was so amazing! Milo loved when her and her kids dropped in for visits! She was always flexible with me and my schedule! She had great communication about everything! We cannot thank her enough for the great care she provided our puppy!”
“Michele was great! She dropped in over 4 days to feed, administer medication to and clean up after my 4 cats. My cats were well taken care of and happy. Michele is also very responsive to messages and I was never worried. Would definitely recommend her services.”
“Bill (and his wife Marie) went above and beyond in caring for our cats, house, and garden. They sent pictures and updates and we felt so comfortable with them in our home. Thank you both so much!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes & personalities. I’m not shy to specialized care needs and love to play, walk & give belly rubs! Services include drop in dog walks and play sessions and overnight pet sitting for short or long terms. I’ve cared for two large fluffy dogs with special needs for two months at a time. I also looked after a high energy chihuahua for three weeks, routinely walking three or four times a day to burn some extra energy! I work full time in Bloomington from 9-6, Monday - Friday. Walks will take place as late as 8am or earlier, during lunch break if you’re home is within 15 miles of Bloomington, and after 6:30 pm on weekdays. Weekends are flexible and I am comfortable transporting the dogs to a dog park or swimming spot if they do well on field trips! I’m more of a homebody and love to play and interact with animals in their home. Your house rules & pet care needs will be met with respect and understanding. Your dog’s boundaries, safety and needs will be prioritized. I appreciate cleanliness and will respect your home as if it’s my own.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Downs. On Rover:

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
