Cat Sitting Sanders

“Kalee went above and beyond with our two cats while we were away! She was very flexible and really put our cats first to make sure they were getting the attention and care they needed while we were away. We would love for her to watch them again in the future.”

“I am more than just satisfied - I am absolutely thrilled that Emily took care of our kitty while we were on vacation! First of all, Emily responded to my request very quickly, which was incredibly important since we were leaving for our trip just two days later. She was so attentive and professional that even our not-so-affectionate cat started seeking her attention and cuddles. Emily even brought a tablet with games for cats, opened the balcony so Sonic could enjoy some fresh air, and gave him plenty of attention, care, and love. We also received lots of wonderful photos after every visit, it made us feel connected to Sonic while we were away. Everything she did truly went above and beyond our expectations! We will definitely be booking with Emily again and highly recommend her!”

“We were on a cruise so we were unreachable. When we got back I got all the pics and updates that Lauren sent. I’m super glad we found someone that took good care of our boys.”

“It was wonderful having Samantha as my cat sitter. She followed my instructions thoroughly and communicated with me in a timely manner. I was very rest assured thanks to her visit. She does take care of my kitty. I would definitely ask her again in my future trips! 5 stars!”

“Katherine was excellent with the boys. She gave daily updates and photos and was quick to understand the personalities of my cats. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi! I’m Jenna, a lifelong Bloomingtonian and best friend to every dog I’ve ever met! I am a stay-at-home mom to a preschooler and I also help manage a national non-profit rescue for French Bulldogs. I have deeply loved many bulldogs in my lifetime, and as such am very adept to handling brachycephalic breeds and their particular needs. (Though it should be noted I tend to regular-nosed breeds with the same loving care!) As a former medical assistant, I am very comfortable caring for animals with moderate medical needs, those with disabilities, seniors, those requiring medication administration, etc. I have cared for hospice dogs, dietary restrictions, Mega-esophagus, Colitis, deafness and total blindness. You could say that special needs are my specialty. I have over 20 years of experience helping folks take care of their animal babies, from Pugs to Cane Corsos, several kitties and even some reptiles in between. Dogs have always been my best friends and luckily, lots of humans pick up on that when they meet me. Most of my experience has been private house sitting and in-home pet care for coworkers for periods of a few hours up to a few weeks. I am new to Rover, but very experienced. I currently work for a dog rescue remotely and am otherwise a stay-at-home-mom to a preschooler. I also provide daily care for one resident special needs rescue French Bulldog. I care for pets in the way that is safest for them, regardless of where that is. In my home, dogs are under my constant watch. We live far from the road (about .15 miles) but pets will be kept leashed beside me outdoors since my yard is not fenced .

“Wren took excellent care of my fur baby! She left thorough notes and was prompt with her check-ins. I really appreciated her kindness and attention to detail!”

“Sara did a great job taking care of our three kitties while we were away for vacation. She provided nice photos each day. They were just like their normal selves when we returned!”

About: Growing up, my mom was always finding strays to add to our family. I've been responsible for the feeding, cleanup, and exercise of countless dogs since I was a kid and have learned how to work with any personality and temperament. I work full-time but spend my afternoons working remotely at home. I am available for drop-ins and walks after 2pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. :) Due to HOA rules I am unable to fence my yard so I spend plenty of time walking, swimming, and running with my dog, Oy, at the nearby lake. He roams my home freely but I do have experience crate training puppies.

“Haley was FANTASTIC. My cats are very shy around strangers, but she managed to get two of the three to come to her, with one even climbing on her lap. She was very observant, reaching out when potty timing seemed off, which I really appreciated, and went above and beyond—vacuuming around the litter boxes (something we hadn’t requested or discussed). She was honestly the best pet sitter I’ve ever worked with.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so I understand their different needs, behaviors, and routines at every stage. Growing up, I cared for several of my neighbors’ pets and have been pet sitting in my community every summer since. I’m currently a senior in undergrad, so my class schedule is pretty light and flexible. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets, and I’m very active, so I love going on walks and spending time outside with them. I live in a neighborhood with a dog park, easy access to a trail, and sidewalks that are perfect for walks. While I don’t have a large yard or crate, there is plenty of space in my home to accommodate one if needed. Dogs are welcome in any room and on furniture, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times.

“Sarah saved our lives! We moved to Bloomington shortly after getting married and dont know anybody in town to watch our cats who are basically our children. She really goes above and beyond.”

Brooke S.

“Daila did a great job with our kitties and went above and beyond for us! She was super punctual and communicative, and we returned home to happy cats :) Would be happy to have her back!”

Colleen C.

“Patty is fantastic! She gives such great pictures and notes that it feels like I’m not even away from my cat. She is thorough, kind, and communicative.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with both cats and dogs helped foster a lifelong love and appreciation for animals and their unique personalities. Today, our family shares our home with three dogs, so caring for animals is simply a natural part of my daily life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same kindness, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm and dependable companion while you’re away, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have full-time availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day, evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed. Because I have the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules, I can offer consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and care for your pets. Whether you need regular visits, or last-minute assistance, I strive to be responsive and available to meet your pet care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. During drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, meals if needed, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. I can also administer basic medications according to instructions and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages. For dog walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and enrichment. I tailor each walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and needs, whether that’s a leisurely stroll, extra exercise, or time to sniff and explore. I always use secure leashes and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. For house sitting services, I provide overnight care in your home and maintain your pet's normal routine. I may leave throughout the day for work, errands, family time, etc but I always ensure your pet receives the care, attention, potty break, meals, exercise, and all the snuggles they need. If your pet requires a more constant-care schedule, please discuss those needs before booking. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in caring and reliable hands. My goal is to ensure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Always grateful to have Abby take care of my cat. Very attentive and communicates very well. It is clear my cat is well taken care of when I return from a trip. Also snaps the best/silliest photos of my cat while I'm away :)”

“Jessicah was very communicative and took good care of our cats!”

About: I love to be around your pets! I'm away from my own a lot right now so dogsitting is how I get to be around fur babies I am in school and I work, but my weekends are usually quite open! So I'll prioritize spending as much time with them as I can, especially in the mornings on week days before leaving. I don't currently offer services in my home due to my lease restrictions but I am happy to check in on or stay with your pets.

“Savannah is great! She truly went above and beyond for my pup. Would highly recommend her!”

Kayla K.

“Daniel was excellent. Took care of my kitties while I was out of the country for 2 weeks and constantly kept me in the loop and sent me pictures of them daily. Would highly recommend him.”
