“Chelsea did a fabulous job taking care of our dog. We also appreciated her quick communication and willingness to watch our dog as a last minute booking and to add on a day when we wanted to extend our trip. Highly recommend.”
“Smokey Joe had a great time with Nora. He enjoyed playing with Scarlett the boxer so much and seemed very happy. We'll definitely be contacting Nora again when we need a dog sitter.”
“In Bloomington for my mother-in-law’s birthday. Mika enjoyed her stay at Mary Jane’s place. We had a virtual meet-up the day before, and they kept us updated with pictures and Mika’s status. Grateful for their care while we’re away.”
“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”
“Celsei was so kind and sweet! Our dog seemed to feel comfortable as soon as he jumped out of the car. Celsei met us outside with one of her dogs and the meet up when great. We didn't worry about our dog once while he was in Celsei’s care. She sent us video and pictures at least once a day and kept us updated on how he was adjusting each day. It was great to see him having so much fun while we were on vacation! We will definitely use Celsei again in the future!”
“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”
“Trista did an amazing job with our girls again. She sent us updates and pictures throughout their stay with her and was open to our concerns about one of our girls.”
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Super understanding when our elderly boy was just too anxious to be away from us for a night. Debbie’s home is spacious, with lots of yard space for exercise. Their sweet and lovable pup Chesney was ready to greet and befriend both of us upon arrival. With her experience and sensitivity, your pet will be safe and well-cared for in Debbie’s capable hands.”
About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the biology department at IU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and more). I have experience with small and large dogs, hyperactive/nervous dogs, as well as senior dogs so you can be assured that I know how to handle just about any dog personality. I am very responsible, considerate and dedicated to making sure your pets are happy and healthy. I consider it an honor to be welcomed into your pet’s life and take my job very seriously. Please feel welcome to ask me any and all questions you might have. Thank you so much for considering me! I cannot wait to hear from you and your pet! I have fairly flexible working hours as I largely can make my own schedule. I am available during the week and weekends as well as holidays. I have a fenced in yard if you would like your pet to stay with me, but I am also happy to take them for walks in addition to letting them play in the backyard. I have three dogs of my own that are all very friendly and I have ways to separate dogs from each other if need be so they don’t all have to interact at the same time.
“I believe my pups had an awesome time at Kelli’s during the long Thanksgiving weekend. Kelli sent me pictures and kept me updated on their stay which made me feel so comfortable. I didn’t worry much about them because I could tell they were well looked after. Kelli has great price and will definitely use her in the future.”
“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”
“Tawny once again came through for us and our last minute trip. I very much appreciate the prompt communication and flexibility. Finn is well cared for and came home happy. Thank you!”
“Ziggy can be very anxious around new people so I'm always nervous leaving him but Kelly was great with him and with building his trust! I also loved all the photos and updates. He came back happy and tired from playing with all the dogs”
“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”
About: I've been providing reliable, loving pet care since 2017, with most of my experience caring for pets in their own homes where they feel comfortable and secure. As I expand my services to include boarding in my home, I'm excited to offer a warm, safe, and welcoming environment for your furry family members. I'm a proud dog mom to three friendly girls, each around 25 pounds, who love making new friends and sharing their home with visiting pups. They are well-socialized, enjoy playing with other dogs, and are always excited when a new guest comes over for a sleepover. Whether your pet is staying overnight or for an extended visit, you can count on them receiving plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care—just like one of my own. 🐾 I work full-time, so my schedule closely mirrors a typical Monday–Friday routine, which can help provide consistency for pets that are used to being home during the workday. My three dogs are crate-trained and comfortably spend time resting while I'm at work. I also have opportunities to work from home on occasion, allowing for extra supervision and interaction throughout the day. If your furry family member needs a midday potty break, I'm happy to come home during my lunch break to accommodate their needs. Outside of work hours, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship as part of our daily routine. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that feels as close to home as possible. 🐾 I provide a safe, structured, and welcoming environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard, and all dogs are supervised during outdoor time, whether they're taking a potty break, exploring, or enjoying playtime. Safety is always my top priority, so pets are never left unattended outside. Inside the home, pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and opportunities to relax and play. I work to maintain a routine that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while they're away from home, ensuring they get the care, exercise, and affection they need throughout their stay. 🐾

“Excellent cat care! I think this has got to be our fourth or fifth time booking Shaun, and he continues to take amazing care of our cats. He goes above and beyond, even bringing extra supplies when we miscounted before leaving for vacation. I would highly recommend Shaun to anyone in the Bloomington area. Our cats love him, and we appreciate his dedication!”
“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.”
“Matthew & Ellie were great! They included adorable notes about our kitties each day, one time specifically saying they swore Binx responded with a literal “yes” when they asked her if she was hungry haha! Would definitely have them look in on our little ones again!”
“Sara did an amazing job with both of our cats! She was extremely attentive, sending a lot of pictures each day, and updating me on their wellness. It was a relief to have someone like her take care of them. I highly recommend her!”
“Paul was great watching our house and two cats for a week! He sent pictures and updates every night, asked questions about anything we'd forgotten to put in our notes, and bonded well with both cats. Even from the meet-and-greet, it was clear he was going to be a good fit, because our cat that is scared of strangers didn't feel the need to go hide from him; and it was clear from the updates that she got very comfortable with him while he was staying. When we got home, the cats were happy and healthy, and the house was spotless. Thank you, Paul!”
“Deborah is awesome. My Frenchie puppy loves her and she is consistent and reliable. Communication is easy and she replies back quickly as well. I would highly recommend her :)”
“Lucy did a wonderful job with our pack of kitties and provided frequent updates. She was wonderful and patient with them all, and did a great job managing the medicine schedule for one. We look forward to having her back!”
“Madison was great with our puppy, she did drop in vista. While caring for our dog, she played fetch with her while allowing her plenty of time to do her business outside. She was great with sending pictures and very responsive with text messages.”

About: As a retired teacher, I’ve spent my life nurturing, encouraging, and caring for others, and that same patience and dedication extend to every dog I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm companion nearby, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. With years of experience building trust and creating positive relationships, you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved pet is receiving plenty of attention, affection, and gentle care. I look forward to treating your dog like one of my own! 🐾❤️ I am available to watch your dog for you if you need a short-term doggy daycare option or someone reliable to care for your furry family member while you’re on vacation for several days. I have a fenced-in yard and two fur babies to keep your fur baby company while you’re away. We will have regular yard playtime and potty breaks, every 2-4 hours during the day. I am also happy to come walk your dog for you if you prefer that.
About: My fiancé and I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Our experience includes feeding according to dietary needs, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. And let’s not forget, all the cuddles your pup will allow! Pet care fits seamlessly into our weekly routine, as both my fiancé, Renas, and I work from home. I work part-time and he works full-time, which means one of us is always home to provide attentive care. Renas shares my love for animals and is always actively involved in caring for the pets we welcome. Our schedules are flexible and fully adaptable to meet your pet’s unique needs. While your pet is in our care, we will follow any schedule/routine that fits your pets needs. We will also ensure proper feeding/watering and any dietary restrictions. Pets will have regular walks and playtime as well as proper physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in games or activities that cater to the pet’s personality and energy level. If games and activities aren’t your pets cup of tea, we can be great couch potatoes and cuddle buddies as well. Maintaining a clean pet environment is a priority ensuring their space is free from hazards. Any basic grooming needs will also be provided. Last but not least, we are happy to keep pet owners updated regularly through messages, pictures, or videos to provide peace of mind. (Pets are allowed on furniture and are welcome to sleep in bed if preferred 😊) Side note- We live in a two story home on a half acre lot that backs up to a wooded area. Our yard is not fenced in so dogs will need to be leashed when going outside. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with tree lined streets and sidewalks on both sides. There’s also several trails nearby that’s great for dog walking and adventures!
“Kelly really saved me in a pinch and did exactly what I had in mind my for 2 dogs experiencing doggy daycare for the first time! I gave her a brief overview of their personalities and my expectations for the day and she provided an easy, stress-free day for me! She was also flexible with my drop off and pick up times possibly changing and was incredibly kind/understanding about me not being able to give her an idea of drop off/pick up. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Tawny was relaxed and good with my dogs. She wasn’t put off by my Shepherds size or talkativeness. On the other hand, I was nervous. First time leaving my dogs with a new sitter. Tawny thought to send pictures of my dogs with some new friends without me asking, which was a relief. My dogs were happy and tired when I picked them up. They had had a great day. They even got a very sweet card from Tawny’a own dogs. Very nice touch”
About: I grew up with several small dogs and I currently have three, so I have experience with taking care of their needs and giving attention to multiple dogs at once! I’m available for boarding and dog sitting on weekends and weekdays. I’m home most days so my schedule is fairly open. When I'm available, I rarely leave the house for more than an hour at a time. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to safely enjoy fresh air! I also have two small crates and the ability to segment off parts of the house with baby gates if the need arises.
About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.

“Our dogs loved their time at Kelli's! She is very friendly and obviously loves dogs. Kelli provided photos and updates during the day and is really communicative. Her fenced-in back yard provides a great opportunity for the dogs to romp around. Our dogs were worn out from playing and having such a good time! I would definitely love to use Kelli again.”
About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house.

About: You're not just hiring another pet sitter; you're entrusting your beloved dog to someone whose life has been filled with canine companionship from day one. Growing up with dogs wasn't just about having pets; it was a hands-on education in understanding their nuanced body language, anticipating their needs, and fostering genuine connections built on trust and affection. This lifelong immersion has instilled in me an intuitive understanding that goes beyond standard training, allowing me to provide a level of care that feels less like a service and more like an extension of the loving home your dog already knows. I am currently a stay at home mom so will have plenty of time for your pets , love doing outdoor activities with the dogs also love cuddling and loving on all the animals I will take your dog out on leash every couple hours unless they need more, I have a chiweenie and German shepherd that loves having friends to play with and my children are amazing with animals as well.
About: I have cared for many animals growing up, my mom and I were both adopters of all kinds of strays. But I have been loving and caring for my very own sweet girl for 9 years! We adopted our baby from the humane society at 3 months old and worked through potty training, leash training, and command training. Please allow your pet to be my outlet so I stop asking my husband for another dog 😬 I am a homeschool momma so I am home or outside adventuring most of the day. I have a nice sized yard, however, it is not fenced in so if your fur baby likes to run off from time to time we may not be a good fit. I have 3 small kiddos (and myself) who would love nothing more than to snuggle on your pup! And our Vega girl enjoys running and playing with other doggos so your pup will get plenty of love and exercise! We do have 11 chickens who stay in their coop (we do let them free range from time to time, but they will be kept in their coop while you pup stays with us). However, due to having small children and chicks we will require a meet and greet before your precious pup comes to stay with us.
About: I have had dogs for the past 40 years and cannot imagine my house without them. I have one dog currently, Toby. He is a very sweet boy who loves all dogs and people. I would love to pamper your fur baby! I am retired and have all day to take care of your special fur baby. I would love to play with your dog and make them feel special. I have a fully fenced in yard with a privacy fence, and also a doggy door, so your pooch is able to go out and in as they wish. My dog, Toby, is very social and friendly so your baby will have a playmate.

My schedule fluctuates throughout the year depending on how many hours I am working and what my classes look like.

Definitely message me about evening bookings within those days so I can check my schedule or work with my other job to accommodate to you!

Let me know if you have any questions! I would love to be given a run down of your pets regular daily lifestyle and what I should watch out for or what will help them get comfortable with me! I will follow directions attentively and keep up on whatever schedules you have your little friend on already to make your lives as easy as possible.
“You can tell Catherine really loves dogs! She took such good care of my Georgia girl. Taking her on long walkies and even wiping her down afterwards to get all the snow and dirt off. We look forward to future walkies!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had experience with pups of all walks of life. As I got older, my friends got cats and I love a good kitty snuggle. I’m the friend that checks on the animals when you have to go out or hit up vacation! I work full time but work from home partially through the week! Usually available most weekday evenings after 5pm and would be available on set weekends for additional care beginning in the afternoons.

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).
“Morgan has been the best walker we could have found for our pup. She takes extra care in making sure he gets a nice walk every day and shares plenty of photos each time. She has great communication with us as well. Highly, highly recommend! So glad we found her.”
About: I have been around and loved dogs for my entire life. One of our family dogs had two litters while I was in high school and I helped take care of and raise the puppies. I also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends. Last year my wife and I adopted a puppy from Puerto Rico who we adore. I look forward to giving your pets the care and love they deserve! I do freelance work as a musician and dancer, so I have a fairly unpredictable schedule. Currently I am available on weekdays from 8 AM to 10 PM but I can be available on some weekends. I am happy to play with your dogs in their home or yard, to work on training as needed (our dog has been in training courses for around six months), or to do whatever else your dog will enjoy! I also enjoy walks and am happy to take your dog around the neighborhood or to nearby parks.

“Savannah was great this week with my little dog, Chloe. She was prompt and communicative. Chloe normally takes some time to warm up to new people but made fast friends with her.”
About: I have been around dogs and multiple cats ever since I was 5, but have been pet sitting for a year as additional income. I have dog sat a range of breeds from german shepherds to Maltese's. My routine when I go on walks is as needed for the dog, but on average 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon, night) if you live in a neighborhood/condo, may vary depending on location. Please feel free to ask questions! I am currently a senior at Indiana University, and I have classes on Tuesday and Thursdays. So, I will have plenty of time for your pets! I love to go on evening walks with my roommates, play lacrosse, read, and attend IU football games! Ideally I would go to/stay your home so that your pet(s) are as comfortable as possible! I will cater my routine to your pets personality, if they are an early riser, so am I. If they like to lounge and watch 101 Dalmatians, so do I. I am here to make you and your pets lives easier!
About: I have babysat for 5 years and on the side I would always pet sit, also with all of the families I have watched I would also be taking care of their pets!

About: I have done in-house dog sitting for others, as well as had my own pet dogs growing up. I have experience with a range of breeds and sizes. I am Cat and Dog First Aid certified.

I can’t wait to meet your pets! I am available throughout the week and on weekends, offering flexible scheduling to provide your pets with consistent, reliable care whenever you need extra support.

I am well versed in canine first aid and wound care. I am also a foster volunteer through the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I do not currently have a foster dog. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and kind. I can’t wait to meet your pets. I am a doctoral student, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m booked up until 6pm on Wednesdays, but have more flexibility the rest of the week. I can take your pup for walks around the neighborhood, campus, or the many parks Bloomington has to offer. I have a comfy dog bed for canine visitors to lounge in while I’m studying.
About: I have plenty of experience taking care of animals growing up. I spent some time caring for my family's disabled dog, so I am not afraid of tackling some extra conditions. Friends and family have loved me as a top choice for petsitting. I can work weekends pretty consistently. As long as I have a notice ahead of time (preferably two weeks), then I am able to accommodate most times. I do best with specific instructions. I do not mind spending a little extra time hanging out with them because I know how lonely they can get when they miss you!

“Smokey Joe had a great time with Nora. He enjoyed playing with Scarlett the boxer so much and seemed very happy. We'll definitely be contacting Nora again when we need a dog sitter.”
“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”
“Celsei was so kind and sweet! Our dog seemed to feel comfortable as soon as he jumped out of the car. Celsei met us outside with one of her dogs and the meet up when great. We didn't worry about our dog once while he was in Celsei’s care. She sent us video and pictures at least once a day and kept us updated on how he was adjusting each day. It was great to see him having so much fun while we were on vacation! We will definitely use Celsei again in the future!”
“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”
“Trista did an amazing job with our girls again. She sent us updates and pictures throughout their stay with her and was open to our concerns about one of our girls.”
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Super understanding when our elderly boy was just too anxious to be away from us for a night. Debbie’s home is spacious, with lots of yard space for exercise. Their sweet and lovable pup Chesney was ready to greet and befriend both of us upon arrival. With her experience and sensitivity, your pet will be safe and well-cared for in Debbie’s capable hands.”
“I believe my pups had an awesome time at Kelli’s during the long Thanksgiving weekend. Kelli sent me pictures and kept me updated on their stay which made me feel so comfortable. I didn’t worry much about them because I could tell they were well looked after. Kelli has great price and will definitely use her in the future.”
“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”
“Tawny once again came through for us and our last minute trip. I very much appreciate the prompt communication and flexibility. Finn is well cared for and came home happy. Thank you!”
“Ziggy can be very anxious around new people so I'm always nervous leaving him but Kelly was great with him and with building his trust! I also loved all the photos and updates. He came back happy and tired from playing with all the dogs”
“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”
“I can't recommend Danielle highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute to provide specialized care for my cat after an incident just days before vacation. We so relieved knowing my pet was in such capable hands. Being a vet med for over a decade she is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and confident handling medical needs. Danielle took the time to ensure my cat, Jelly, was comfortable and well cared for, and they kept me updated throughout. It's not easy to find someone with this level of experience and compassion. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable pet sitter.”
“Becky, Hands Down is a great, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. I have a young Italian greyhound, Peach, who is very timid and nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations. Every time I have booked Becky, Peach has been relaxed, taken care of and in good spirits when I pick her up which is important for me. Becky is always easy to get a hold of, she regularly sends updates, including videos and photos of how my dog is doing, and has been so accommodating to a variety of care items (medications, etc) in the past. I have trusted Becky with my dog for multiple stays and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”
About: Ive grown up with a variety of pets. I love animals, and enjoy taking care of them and keeping them happy while they’re missing you! I have a cleaning business that keeps my weekly schedule flexible, but varied. My availability is not always the same each week but it gives me a more flexible schedule than some. I’m happy to care for your pet however you would do so normally to keep them in their routine. At home I have other pets they can play with or they can remain separated. I have plenty of yard for them to enjoy.
