Personalized care for your dog or cat - Freeman
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Freeman
“Nora is great. Kia is an older dog and set in her ways. Nora was so patient with her and took top notch care of her. I got daily updates. Kia wouldn’t eat for the first couple of days and Nora found a solution to get her to eat. Your dog is in good hands with Nora.”
“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.”
“Tawny was fantastic! She sent us pictures everyday, which is a big win for our little one. She treated him so well with lots of love and cuddles and took him with her to visit family. She made sure he stayed cool in the heat and made us feel very confident that our pup was being cared for well. Will definitely be booking again!”
“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.”
“Celsei and “team” were amazing!! Rudi had fun!! It’s like he was on vacation too with his new friends!! We are from out of town so having Rudi stay with Celsei was a blessing. She communicated regularly which was wonderful peace of mind. When we come back, Celsei will be our first pick!!”
“Mary Jane is one of my close colleagues and has always shown a genuine care for her animals. This made me comfortable enough to ask her to watch my 9 year old Shih Zu/Lhasa Apso mix. I needed someone to watch him while I was out of town for class and a job interview. Mary Jane happily accepted my request, even opening her schedule to days she originally did not have availability. She followed all my directions for the keeping and care of Max. She sent me daily updates and pictures which helped me feel that Max was safe and happy. Her home is set up perfectly, allowing Max to have his own private room if he wanted. But luckily he enjoyed the company of her loving cats and dogs. When I came to pick up Max you could tell he was well cared for. He was in no rush to leave! With that said I am comfortable leaving Max with Mary Jane any time now. He loved her the entire visit and I recommend anyone looking for a sitter to check out Mary Jane. She is honest, trustworthy, and so kind. You can’t help but to feel at ease with her services. Thanks Mary Jane!!!”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
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.
“What a great experience! Kelli and her husband Curtis are the nicest people I've ever met! Check-ins and photos made it clear they really cared for my dog and made her feel at home. The country setting was ideal. My dog Cassie loved it!”
“Trista did a great job with our girls as always. She sent photos and daily updates to us so we knew how the girls were doing. She had them all packed up and ready to go for us when we got there. We will definitely continue to use her as our dogs’ sitter.”
“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.”
“Deborah is very friendly and has a great location for my dog to run around and play. My poodle had a really fun time playing with her dog! Took great care and fed my dog plenty while being boarded. Will be booking again.”
“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”

Cat caregivers near you - Freeman
“Brittney took care of my two cats when I was away for 2 nights. She was easy to communicate with, sent us a picture when she visited them. We will hire her again in the future.”
“Kristen was wonderful with our cat. We always get a little worried leaving him when we go on longer trips, but Kristen was incredibly communicative. She checked in with questions at appropriate times and sent great updates and pictures. We didn’t even end the current trip before we booked her for our next trip!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Makayla was fantastic! She was communicative and even went above and beyond to help us after an address mix-up on our end. Would trust her with any of our pet care!”
About: I have been around cats my whole life. I’ve made friends with the cats that others say, “oh she’s not too fond of people” like magic! And I’ve given oral medications to cats handfuls of times.
“Patricia took the best care of our cat Nike for the week we were gone! Nike can be needy (and sometimes will throw up) and Patricia had no problem giving her plenty of attention and cleaning up her throw up the one day she did. I can tell Nike was extremely well taken care of and there is no doubt I’d have Patricia take care of her again!!”
About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets when you are not able to. I myself have grown up with dogs my whole life and would pet sit my neighbors animals all the time. Now, I have my own little zoo of 2 dogs, 3 cats, and some geckos. I spent one year in a vet tech program so i know the basics of animal medicine, 6 months taking care of the marine mammals at Shedd Aquarium, and I also have a bachelor's degree in Zoology. I understand it is hard to leave your pets unattended for hours on end and stressful when you come home to an accident but they can't help it. I want to help alleviate that stress for you and your pet by giving them the best care possible. I can only provide check-ins and walking services. I am looking for some supplemental income to help support my little family. I have a 3 year old and an 8 month old but have recently gotten a full time job in the Bloomington area. I am available during early evening hours and weekends. They are family so they get treated with respect and love and I will treat yours like I treat mine to make sure they are happy and living their best life.
About: Hello my name is michkayla im a single mom that’s unfortunately between jobs I do lots of handyman type side work but not quite cutting at the moment i recently just got my puppy Rufus who was a stray when I found him and it reminded just how hard leaving a pet alone at home all day can be so I figured with my love for pets I’d give this thing a shot im very patient and know how to handle dogs and other pets safely I did 3 yrs of animal science in high school and have 25 yrs of owning pets I’m currently job searching and full time parenting a three yr old im always available from 9-3 for any pet kid friendly anytime before or after those time I ask pets to be kid friendly as I’ll most likely have my child with me I give pets time to get used to me before approaching I’ll often follow up with common training and of course lots of love and some possible treats (with approval from parents )
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I’m currently a student at Indiana University and I am home for the summer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard and I have had a dog my whole life and have dog sat and dog walked for many friends and family members.
“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.”
About: I've had a dog for as long as I can remember. I've watched over dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I have had all sorts of pets from cats to dogs to birds. All have been lovely companions and precious members of my family. Each one has held a special place in my heart! ☺️ As a student living away from home, I deeply miss the daily joy of caring for dogs. Back home, I looked after an Australian Shepherd and a terrier mix, so I am very comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping them happily exercised. I also raised a sweet coonhound/basset hound mix, giving me a soft spot for gentle hounds. I am excited to bring that same love, patience, and dedicated care to your fluffy family members! My priorities for pets are Hygiene, Routines, and Care. Making sure pets are clean and comfortable, well fed, and well rested is most important! Ultimately, you know your furbaby best, so I am always completely open and attentive to any specific instructions or routines you request!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Freeman
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.
“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”
“Augie had a wonderful time with Mary Jane and family. This was the first time we left Augie with anyone; Mary Jane made us feel reassured and calm. We had a terrific get away and Augie had a great day! Thank you, Janine & Bruce”
“Kimberly was so kind and accommodating. Mia had a great time playing with her and her dog. She has a larger property with plenty of room to roam and play which was great for our golden. We will definitely have her dog sit for us again if ever needed in the future. Thanks!”
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: 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!”
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.

About: I am a loving trustworthy pet sitter with 10 years experience watching family, friends, and neighbors animals. My experience in training, exercise, play time, boarding, and spoiling set me apart and provide your animals the best care possible while you are away! I watch dogs full time. I am able to devote any range of attention and care that your animal needs. I can come to you or your pet can come to me. I have a loving home with lots of toys to fit your animals needs. I keep the animals inside and prefer to let them be free and comfortable. I have found that using a blanket, shirt, or bed from home usually helps when boarding that they can cuddle with, or I can use a crate if your animal is more comfortable that way. I have the ability to separate animals if your animal requires one on one love :) I do this full time and just started an in home kennel! I can do home visits, doggy daycare, and boarding at any time or day that fits your schedule! I have home on 3 acres out in the country with 2 fenced in areas, along with an outdoor inclosed kennel. I take animals on walks and we love spending time outside when the weather permits! I always keep them on a leash when we’re outside for the safety of the animals.

“Tawny was fantastic! She sent us pictures everyday, which is a big win for our little one. She treated him so well with lots of love and cuddles and took him with her to visit family. She made sure he stayed cool in the heat and made us feel very confident that our pup was being cared for well. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Celsei and “team” were amazing!! Rudi had fun!! It’s like he was on vacation too with his new friends!! We are from out of town so having Rudi stay with Celsei was a blessing. She communicated regularly which was wonderful peace of mind. When we come back, Celsei will be our first pick!!”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“What a great experience! Kelli and her husband Curtis are the nicest people I've ever met! Check-ins and photos made it clear they really cared for my dog and made her feel at home. The country setting was ideal. My dog Cassie loved it!”
“Trista did a great job with our girls as always. She sent photos and daily updates to us so we knew how the girls were doing. She had them all packed up and ready to go for us when we got there. We will definitely continue to use her as our dogs’ sitter.”
“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.”
“Deborah is very friendly and has a great location for my dog to run around and play. My poodle had a really fun time playing with her dog! Took great care and fed my dog plenty while being boarded. Will be booking again.”
“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”
About: I’m currently a Junior in college and I miss my dogs at home, which is what made me want to become a sitter on rover. I have two bernedoodles at home. One is 4 year old and one is 6 months old, so I’ve had experience training both of them and caring for both of them. I also walked a neighborhood golden doodle frequently in high school. Last summer I nannied a family with an adorable pitbull that I cared for in addition to the children. I also had a golden retriever growing up for 12 years. I love all ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I have a summer class from 9-12 every morning, but other than that I can be home all day. I spend most of my time studying at home, but love to go for walks as study breaks and I live a very active lifestyle, which dogs would fit into perfectly. I also love being outdoors and I live alone so I’d love the company of a furry friend. It really depends on the client and how they want me to care for their pet. I want to do as much as I can to make their dogs feel at home and at ease. I’ve seen how hard it is for my own dogs back at home to adjust to a new environment, so I want to provide a healthy environment for other people’s dogs. When I get clients I make sure to ask them about their dogs routine, so I can do my best to mimic that.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and understand that some animals need special care. I live in a quiet neighborhood with great walking paths! I work a Monday through Friday normal schedule, going into work around 6am and coming home around 3pm each day. I love going on morning, afternoon, and evening walks with my dog, Toby, and he loves to run around our backyard too. Weekends are meant for fun! Sometimes we go to the dog park or a walk through downtown. I care for them by giving them attention, sticking to a nice schedule, and understanding that every animal is different in their own, unique way. Some require more care, others are very chill like my own dog!
“Kelly was absolutely amazing. My dog Luna stayed with her for a week and Kelly kept me updated regularly and took great care of Luna. I will use Kelly’s services again and would highly recommend others to do so.”
“Absolutely wonderful with my two dogs; they were taken very good care of, and I got daily pupdates! She was very responsive and understanding to the times I needed to drop off/ pick up my dogs. I will most certainly be boarding my dogs here again when needed.”
