Susan took such good care of our sneaky hound, it seemed like she was on a vacation of her own. Susan made sure our pup was entertained, happy, and provided her with plenty of belly rubs. (Though our pup would insist on more, I’m sure haha.) We looked forward to her messages throughout the booking, as she shared photos, funny stories, and the sweetest check-ins. We’ll definitely send our girl back to stay with her new BFF next time and for all the trips in our future.

Totiyana provided such a loving experience for our fur baby, Emmie. She is not used to being around other dogs especially big dogs but Totiyana help her get comfy and before you knew it Emmie was settled. We appreciate Totiyana’s flexibility and being able to take our last minute request! Such a blessing! We appreciate her care so much we booked two weekends in a row! Looking forward for future bookings for boarding our needs.

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!

Where do I start!? This was our first time going away and having to leave our Megan! She’s an elder fur baby and we couldn’t think of anyone who would properly take care of her. We turned to rover and it may sound strange but when I saw Barbra picture I knew she would be perfect! She sent pictures, and updates constantly! Our Megan looked so happy and taken care of! I am so pleased with her service and I will definitely be using Barbra in the future! Thanks a MILLION Barbra we appreciate you more than you know!

This was the first time my dogs stayed with a non family member so I was a littler nervous to leave them. Enrica took EXCELLENT care of my two Yorkies! She sent me updates and photos the entire time I was away which I absolutely loved. My dogs had so much fun with Enrica that the one had no interest in coming home, he just sat on her couch and looked at me. There was a nice fenced in yard to explore and it was clear they were spoiled. I would definitely send my dogs to stay with Enrica again! Thank you for taking such good care of my fur babies!

Lindsey is an amazing sitter!! She shows a lot of love to Chico and he loves her back. Chico came back to us clean, well fed and with no issues. Lindsey's children are very fond of him too. And I appreciate the fact that she sends me pictures of him at play with his furry friends every day. That keeps me at peace to know he's having an enjoyable stay.

We are so grateful for the wonderful care Nikkita provided for our dog, Pepe. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure Pepe was comfortable and happy during his stay. She was also very flexible with our pick-up and drop-off times, which made things so much easier for us. We loved receiving regular updates and pictures, which helped us feel connected and at ease. It’s clear she truly cares about her furry guests, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

This was our second time booking with Jill and Thomas, and once again, we had a wonderful experience! They took care of cucu for an entire week. They were incredibly responsive, provided daily updates (which gave us so much peace of mind), and were always quick to answer any questions we had. It’s clear they truly care about the pets they watch. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with our pup, and we’ll definitely be booking again! :)

Dolly and Dena had a wonderful time with Beth! We loved all of the communication we received, especially the pictures and videos. They reassured us that our girls were together and happy and having fun. In the videos, we could see the pups interacting with Beth the same way they interact with us - tails wagging and confident of getting affection. We will definitely book them another stay with Beth!

Latoya took wonderful care of my Morkie, Cam, for two weeks while I was away. She sent photos and videos which gave me peace of mind. Cam looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Latoya patiently handled all of his little quirks. She made him feel at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Latoya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Finn stayed with Susan for 2 weeks this time and we were so relaxed and confident in her care for the entire vacation. Updates, photos and check-ins but more importantly, an understanding and desire to help us as owners to continue Finn on his development path. The definition of above and beyond. Thank you.

Grateful yet again for Elisabeth’s care, Pluto stayed for 8 days and you could just tell that he loves being at Elisabeth’s house. He has a lot of medication to take care of and needs extra pampering and he gets it all here, goes shopping and does a bunch of different things which is just above and beyond of a normal boarding experience. I am just so very thankful 😊🙏

Paige is absolutely incredible! If you’re searching for a home away from home for your furry friends, look no further, Paige is the perfect choice. She excels at communication, providing regular updates with pictures and detailed descriptions of what the dogs have been up to, ensuring peace of mind at all times. Paige has also been very flexible in accommodating our schedule. She made sure our girls were well-fed, walked, and, above all, showered with love and snuggles. Our dogs enjoyed their stay so much that one of my huskies even tried to go back inside when we came to pick them up! I couldn’t recommend Paige highly enough!

FAQs for Boarding - Bear

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bear on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 954 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

93% of Bear sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Bear landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bear home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.

Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
