About: We brought home our 1st puppy when our eldest daughter was 8 weeks old. Everything since then has been easy! Currently have an 8yr old Golden Retriever with a fenced in backyard. Each of our grown children took in a dog or puppy once they had their own homes. We have had cats, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs over the years. I'm recently semi-retired and my daughters have used Rover for their dogs in far away states. I thought it would be a nice way to give our dog a playmate every once in a while. We have a large fenced in yard which your dog can run around or hangout with our dog if they'd like. Our house is split level so there could be 6 stairs at time to go up & down. I love to walk our dog & listen to books or podcasts.
“We are new to the area and we’ve always had friends or family watch our pups. This was the first time we needed to use Rover. Nancy gave us a great first experience and I’m so glad we have someone we can trust to leave our pups with if we ever need to board again! She asked great questions to get to know our pups before us dropping them off and she kept us up to date everyday with plenty of pics and videos. Nancy was very responsive as well. We will certainly be reaching out to her for future needs. Thanks again Nancy!”
“I have to say this with a warm heart that I absolutely agree with the other reviews. Latoya was professional, and kind. When BJ entered her home, I knew that I didn't have to worry about him. Latoya is amazing. I can't wait to book with her again.”
“Elizabeth was great! She sent plenty of updates during our dog’s stay, which was greatly appreciated and followed all instructions when it came to him. She was also super sweet and her family was just as sweet, we felt very comfortable leaving Meechie with her.”
“Peanut was in the best of hands with Rita. Our flight wound up being delayed and Rita was so kind and understanding that we had to extend our puppys stay. She went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you so much!!!”
“Coleen was great! This was our first time boarding with rover and we chose Coleen because our dog is older like hers(9 &10 yrs) and she had a big fenced in backyard. She text us and sent photos letting us know how our dog was to ease our minds(our dog stayed 8days). From the photos of our dog sleeping all over Coleen's house, we could tell she was comfortable there and would definitely recommend and use Coleen again. An added bonus is that Coleen works from home so you know the dogs are never left for extended periods of time.”
“It’s always nerve racking trying to find a new sitter when the old one falls through but Chyann was great! Addressed all concerns and kept great communication while we were away. Best of all our husky didn’t come back home with bad habits which happens a lot. 10/10, I definitely recommend”
“Totiyana is so patient and caring! Our Blu is a big ball of energy, especially around other dogs but she could handle him. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you!”
“Could not recommend enough!! Kelly and her family treated Tobi like one of their own. She was spoiled every day - from special homemade treats, to making new dog friends and playing in their kiddy pool. She had an amazing time. Kelly was very responsive, helpful and sent really great updates. Thank you so much!”
“We left our tiny little shih tzu puppy with Bethany and her pitbull, Star, for the weekend. The two not only got along great, but I understand Pookie harassed Star at length and got nothing but cuddles and patience in return. Bethany was very nice and made everything easy for us. She returned our messages promptly and made us feel at ease while we were away. Next time we need a sitter, Bethany will be our first call. ”
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“Such a great experience for my dog, who can be a bit anxious. He’s especially bad at overnight boarding, but Joseph takes such great care to assure a comfortable environment and experience for the dogs. I am so grateful, and I know where I’ll be sending my dog if I ever need him boarded again!”
“Absolutely fantastic! They took great care of Dofus. Alexandra texted me updates and pictures. I was able to enjoy my time without worrying about him. Thank you. Highly recommend!”
“Andre was wonderful. Wilbur had diarrhea while we were gone and Andre took great care of him and prepared a bland diet until he was better. We were away for our son’s graduation and unable to get back. We are so grateful to the care Andre provided!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Bear is $55

Claudia did an amazing job looking after my puppy! I highly recommend her! This was the first time leaving my puppy with a pup sitter and I could not have asked for anyone better than Claudia to look after her. The daily updates through pictures and videos helped me feel at peace and also know that my puppy was in great hands and very well cared for. Thank you so much again, Claudia!
Our pup loved her stay with Latoya, definitely felt right at home from the start! Latoya did a great job with communication and sent us pictures that showed our little fur babe enjoying herself and being at ease in good company! Latoya was able to administer meds as well. Would use Latoya again and definitely recommend!
Susan was wonderful! She clearly knows dogs and did everything to make Cheyenne's transition smooth and easy. I felt so comfortable leaving her with Susan because I knew she would be loved and in good hands. She was communicative and flexible and I know Cheyenne is looking forward to lounging in the yard again!
This is the second time we have used Elisabeth. Her and her family are so sweet and treat the dogs they watch like their own! She watched our dog for 2 weeks which is the longest we’ve been apart, and Elisabeth was amazing with sending us pictures and updates. It made us feel so much better! We will definitely book again!
Veruchka was nice enough to do a last minute booking. When I picked Cardi up she was very happy. I could tell she must of been playing a lot. Also got a lot of pics of Cardi. She has an adorable 3 year old that Cardi seemed to really have fun with. Will definitely be booking with her again.
Blue had an amazing time! Was taken care of and well loved. Multiple walks and playtime were amazing for him! He was definitely tired after he got back which was so awesome. Nicole made sure to take care of him in an extremely professional manner. Would definitely recommend Nicole and be using her in the future

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bear is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 941 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bear. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Bear can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bear home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bear.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Bear sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in DE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
