Ivi did such a great job watching our pups! She was with them for 2 weeks and sent lots of pictures that they looked very happy and well loved in. She was very responsive any time we reached out and also went above and beyond caring for our home. Thank you Ivi!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight. Not only my own personal pets, but also those of friends and family members. I do not currently have any pets, but I love animals, so this is my way to interact and spend time with them! I currently attend school, but my classes are spread out and only on certain days so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice, long walk. I'm really good as being able to tell if an animal is comfortable in a situation or not, so after our first walk, I can find the most enjoyable route for your dog!

The trio was very happy when we got home they loved their walk which we weren't expecting them to get because our 3 are a lot. We love them but know they are a lot so we were very happy for the walk

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Since I was a kid, I could never walk past a hurt or stray animal without stopping to help. I’ve fed and looked after stray cats and dogs, reunited lost pets with their families, and even taken in animals until they were safe. One of my earliest memories is rescuing an injured bird from kids who were trying to hurt it and nursing it back to health. I’m currently a senior high school student that has lots of free time after school so doing pet care after my school business will be no such problem at all! Every since I was young I’ve always had love for animals and now that I can willingly take care of them for people I’m need of help I’m super excited to show the skills and care I offer to their pets!

Lori is excellent working with and walking my dogs. She has taken the time to get to know them both individually. She knows what helps motivate them on the walks. I truly appreciate finding her to help with dog sitting and regular dog walks.

We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our girls. They loved Morgan immediately. When Morgan arrived today, the girls greeted her tails wagging '. We came home to two very happy pups. Thanks Morgan.

Kayla did such an amazing job house-sitting and taking care of my two dogs during two different trips for the holidays. Both of my doggos, including my 16+ year old senior mix who has some special needs, were happy and healthy and calm when I got home and the house was exactly as I left it. She was easy to communicate with and clearly did a great job taking care of our pups and keeping them at ease while we were gone! We'll definitely be booking with her again and recommending to friends!

About: “From tail wags to soft purrs—and even tiny paws and eight legs—I love helping pets feel happy and cared for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets, including ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, and even tarantulas. I’ve walked, bathed, and trained animals (including a dog that became a service animal), so I know patience, attention, and trust are key. Every pet in my care gets love, safety, and companionship, just like they’re part of my family.” My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to provide walks, playtime, or overnight care whenever your pet needs it. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. “I deeply care for every pet in my care, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep their space clean, comfortable, and secure, and I pay close attention to their needs so they always feel nurtured and well-cared-for.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bear Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 299 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bear Creek. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bear Creek walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bear Creek maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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 Creek 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!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
