About: I’ve had furry family members since the age of 12. Family and friends have relied on me to feed, walk and care for their pets for years. Having had both dogs and cats for many years in the past, I have plenty of hands on experience with both. Experience includes caring for elderly cats and dogs, as well as administering medications. I am a full time remote employee and have a flexible schedule. I am available to care for your furry loved one every day of the week. I can feed, walk, crate or play with your dog. I am also available to care for cats. This includes feeding and scooping/changing cat litter.
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’ve spent years caring for and training dogs, including raising and training four Australian Cattle Dogs—a breed known for its intelligence and high energy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to read canine body language, reinforce good behaviors, and confidently handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked dogs for several of my mom’s clients throughout the Hockessin and Wilmington area. My focus is on providing safe, reliable, and personalized care while treating every dog as if they were my own. I am home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and affection. Being home full-time also allows me to closely monitor each dog’s well-being, maintain their routine, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your dog will be cared for like one of my own in a safe, loving home environment. I have a fully fenced 0.6-acre yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. They’ll also have the companionship of my three friendly, well-socialized dogs if they enjoy being around other dogs. Throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of exercise, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and affection. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My shifts are short consistent, allowing me to have a concrete schedule to work around to best meet the needs of all dogs and cats. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.
“Jenna is such a great cat sitter! Our cat Sebastian is very shy and cautious with anyone who isn’t us, but he loves Jenna and looks forward to her visits when we are away. She did a great job keeping an eye on him, doing his daily tasks, and giving him lots of love and attention. Jenna is reliable, responsible, and easy to work with. We highly recommend her and appreciate all of her work!”

About: I have had dogs in my home my entire life who have ranged from sedentary to pulling you down the street! I take time to understand each pets unique needs and make sure that our time together is well spent from the owner's perspective and the pet's! I work full time from 7-4pm Monday to Friday. My availability is anytime after 4pm but before 9pm on weekdays and anytime after 8am but before 10pm on weekends. I live with my fiance who is a veterinary nurse, our 10 year old dog, and 8 year old cat in an apartment. We have easy access to a large park with walking trails and can easily find fun routes around New areas!
“Adriene was AMAZING with our two dogs, Chole and Luna! She gave them such love and attention. She communicated with us while we were away. This made us feel so comfortable. We knew they girls were being well cared for. We highly recommed Adriene!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a child, but I also have a few years of professional pet sitting experience as well with both cats and dogs. Big or small, young or old, I have cared for them all. I work from home so as long as I have a wi-fi connection, I can care for your pet and your home for as long as you need. Overnight stays are available I will always keep your pet in my sights and be aware of their needs throughout the day. I will keep you posted with constant updates throughout the day as frequently as you wish.

About: Hi! I’m Lindsay. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without one. Growing up, my family always had a dog, so caring for them has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. When my fiancé and I bought our first home together, one of the first things we did was welcome our golden retriever, Margo, into our family. She truly has become the best part of our day, and caring for her has only strengthened my love for dogs. From daily walks and playtime to training, grooming, and plenty of cuddles, I understand how important it is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive lots of love, patience, and personalized care so you can have peace of mind. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM in Wilmington, which makes me available for evening drop-in visits and walks after work. I know how important it is for dogs to get a potty break, exercise, and some companionship if you’re working late, have dinner plans, or simply can’t make it home right away. I’m also available on weekends and am happy to accommodate visits whenever possible. Since weekend plans can vary, I appreciate a little extra advance notice so I can make sure I’m available for your pup. I always strive to be reliable, communicative, and flexible, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own pup. I will always treat your home as my own to create the best experience possible for you and your pup! At this time I will not be offering services in my home.
“Took good care of my baby boy while I had to be away, and he was immediately very comfortable with them, which made me feel good and less anxious about having to leave him home. I’ll definitely use Jenni’s services again in the future.”

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 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.
“I booked Shawn a little last minute right before my vacation, she is amazing! This is my first time using the app and having a sitter for my babies! She went above what I expected and truly was so much help, such an attentive sitter. I definitely recommend booking her to take care of your fur babies! Truly the sweetest women!”

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 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.

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.
“Coleen was excellent! She was great at communicating and updating me at each visit. This was first time leaving my pets alone so I was nervous, but Coleen made me feel much better.”

I treat every pet like my own, whether in my home or my client’s home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bear
Claudia was on time and so nice at our initial meet and greet 2 weeks before needing her to pet sit our 21 year old cat and 6 1/2 year old dog. She was professional and incredibly loving with our fur babies, and had no problem administering medication to our cat. She was on time every time for every drop-in visit (9 total) and she sent many pictures and details of each visit. Highly recommend Claudia!

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! 🐾❤️

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 .

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.

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.
