About: I’m not able to have a dog of my own so it would be nice to have experience with different dogs throughout the week so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on spending time with pets. I’m a second grade teacher who is off for the summer and major holidays. I would like to have something else for me to do to keep busy during the long summer days. Being able to spend time with your pet would be an honor and I’m so excited to play with care for them in anyway you need me to. I’m also studying to be an elementary school teacher so if you ever need some babysitting I can do that as well. I work as an elementary teacher so I am available throughout the summer and major holidays. I can also make accommodations for Saturdays if needed. I am able to provide any care necessary if provided and shared by the owner. Just let me know everything you need to take proper care of your fur baby and I will make sure to deliver.

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner since the age of five and currently share my home with two lovable dogs, Nelly and Thanos. They enjoy welcoming new furry friends, and we truly believe the more, the merrier. As someone who travels often, I understand how reassuring it is to know your dog is in caring, reliable hands. Dogs have always been a constant source of joy in my life, and I treat every pup as if they were my own. I’d be honored to care for and spoil your fur baby while you’re away. I do work full-time. However, my schedule is really flexible which allows me to spend quality time with your fur baby as well as my own. There will be plenty of time for outdoor and indoor play which will get us ready for some nighttime snuggles. I have a fenced in yard and I watch my pets as well as yours to ensure safety. In addition, I can crate your dog, if needed, but I have two friendly fur babies that enjoy other friends.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. My dog recently passed away so your pet will be there only one in my home. Friends and neighbors have relied on me for pet care, walking and sitting. I can’t wait to give attention and belly rubs to your treasured pet! I have a flexible schedule to accommodate all of your needs. I am available for walks, drop ins, doggie daycare at my home, and pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard. I live in a nice neighborhood with a park for easy and safe walks. Dogs are allowed on the couch, but not the bed. Your dog will enjoy 1-2 walks each day, depending on energy levels, as well as time with me outside and inside snuggling. If you prefer I stay in your home with your dog, I can arrange that as well.

Jenna is a true pet whisperer! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our fur babies. She was always punctual, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our cats felt loved and safe while we were on vacation. Jenna's dedication to ensuring our kitties had plenty of playtime and attention was truly heartwarming. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

My wife and I were very happy with how Coleen did watching our dogs. Coleen did a total of 3 drop in visits to take our dogs outside, give them food and water and so they could have some time out of their crates. She was was very professional and got along great with our dogs when with met with her. During the drop ins Coleen sent picture updates showing us how well our dogs were doing. Overall it was a great experience for us and our 2 dogs.

About: 🛑 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING🛑: I own 2 cats. Even though my Cats have their own room your dogs must be ok with or have been around cats and knows basic commands. If your dog is medium or large size you MUST bring a cage. I will only use the cage for when I'm at work and I need to let the cats out their room. But when i'm home the dogs have free range even on my bed 😂 Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.

About: I am a very active and energetic person and love seeing the joy in all dogs. I have a 4 year old rescue who is also very energetic! She keeps me on my feet! Dogs love me because I love giving them attention all the time, I like to spoil them because that is what all dogs deserve! I am a great multitasker so I can give your dogs all the attention they need. I treat all dogs as if they are my family. I am currently working part time at UD and I work from home, so I will have plenty time for your pets! Also dogs make me the happiest! The way I care for pets is showing them lots of attention when they want it. I play with them physically and mentally. I have simple games that can stimulate your dogs mind.

About: I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own, so caring for animals is a part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and treating them like my own while keeping owners updated and worry free. My schedule is pretty open and flexible, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and be as accommodating as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. That includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure their space stays clean and I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I grew up with two funny little dogs, Kiwi (a Peekapoo) and Tegan (a Bichon Frisé), whom my mom and I trained from puppies. I’m now the proud cat mom to an orange tabby named Ari! I’m calm, patient, loving, and consistent with animals. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who required daily medication by injection, and I’m happy to provide that same gentle, attentive care for your pets if needed. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply curl up for cuddles, I’m happy to follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. :) I have a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive plenty of attention and companionship! I have a flexible schedule and am often available for same-day bookings! Starting in August every Thursday, I will nanny for a wonderful five-month-old baby while also caring for her family’s two dogs and two cats. Outside of Thursdays, my schedule is very open. Because of my flexibility, your pets can receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I keep my availability up to date, communicate promptly, and strive to make every booking reliable, stress-free, and personalized to your pet’s needs. Every pet is unique, so I always begin by following the owner’s instructions and learning their routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise and playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they seem happy, comfortable, and healthy. If medications are needed, I’m happy to administer them as directed. Before I leave, I’ll make sure your pet is settled and I’ll send you an update with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Ive had family dogs since I was born. Looking to make some extra money while I’m in school. Don’t mind if the dogs pull a lot/ reactive, just need a warning. I’m in school so I’m really only available all day for Saturday and Sunday but other days can work for one walk depending on the time. I would walk them and feed them. I have to study so I don’t mind hanging out at the house/apt in between walks.

Violeta has been absolutely amazing with my toy poodle, Bentley. She is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about him. As someone who works long hours, having someone I trust completely with my little guy means everything. Violeta always keeps me updated, makes time for Bentley, and treats him with so much love and attention. It’s clear that she truly enjoys what she does, and Bentley is always happy to see her. Knowing he’s in such caring hands gives me tremendous peace of mind while I’m at work. I honestly couldn’t do this without her, and I’m so grateful for everything she does for Bentley. I highly recommend Violeta to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy person to care for their pet! 🐾❤️

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Bear

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Bear on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,888 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bear. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bear stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bear choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Bear with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bear. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
