“I had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She originally agreed to keep my dog overnight, and when my plans unexpectedly changed and i needed an extra day, she graciously agreed without hesitation. It meant so much to me and allowed my family to relax and enjoy our time together. My dog was well cared for, and I truly appreciated her flexibility and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“We needed someone last minute after our plans fell through and they were able to take a Koda in and luckily their drop off and pick up times fit right with our schedule. They had no problems giving him his medicine and were in communication with us to make sure they were giving the proper dosage. We also received pictures during the stay which put us at ease about how the stay was going. Ariana and Alex were great!”
“Thank you, Yoshi, for taking great care of my Junior! I am so happy I found you and I don’t have to worry about anything when I need a boarding place and loving hoooman for my girl 👍❤️🐶”
“Katherine was excellent. She regularly texted me pictures of my dog and she looked happy! When I picked her up, my little dog wasn’t overly excited to leave, she was calm, which I think was because she was comfortable at Katherine’s house. We also got a parting gift, a framed picture of my little dog, so cute!”
“Amanda was fantastic. I made a mistake on my booking and was definitely optimistic on my return time. I got home late but she was very gracious. My dog was well cared for and I received updates throughout the time away. I’m grateful for Amanda’s care of my dog!”
“Left my 2 pups for 3 days, first time I've left them with a sitter. I received pictures and videos everyday with little update on how they were doing. There was a beautiful gated yard for the dogs to roam which was a must for me. I will definitely use Huina in the future.”
“Wendy took amazing care of Zeus during his stay! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated that she took Zeus on walks and hike, his absolute favorite! It was great to see him having fun and making new friends with Bella and Bruno. Highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a caring and active sitter!”
“Hello, my name is Mara, and my name is Recipe. We want to give Lika four paws up and a sassy tail wag because our stay with her was sweeeeet! We had a ball at her house! LITERALLY! We like Lika and would party at her house again anytime!”
“Fantastic dog sitters and dog lovers. We could tell our dog Raya was super connected with Patricia and Rick, and super well taken care of with lots of walks and snuggles. They really cared about her as their own and shared heaps of pictures throughout the short stay. We also appreciated that it was a last minute booking and they were able to take Raya in. If you’re in Big Bear and need a sitter, please check this beautiful family’s availability!”
About: I consider myself as a mature animal watcher and responsible for their needs. As a kid growing up I've had the privilege to be apart of having different dogs and cats around me. I've always loved being around them. My wife also does rover and I help watch after her animals as well as we work as a team. I work from home, so my schedule is very much flexible to where I'm able to give the much needed attention to the pets . Get $20 off your first booking with Rover! Use code CHRISG91201 I have a secure fenced yard and a caring wife and loving daughter who loves pets company as much as I do. We make sure they are well fed, using the yard for potty breaks 3-4 times a day . And asleep at a reasonable time.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up helping care for many pets and am comfortable with different needs, personalities, and routines. I have a 5-year-old Pomsky named Bailey (half Husky, half Pomeranian) who is my best friend.I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I’m a recent nursing graduate with more free time. I already go on daily walks and love taking dogs on hikes or to the park. I enjoy bonding with animals and can be flexible to meet each pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog who gets along well with others. I give pets lots of attention, playtime, and stick to their routine. I can take them on walks or just watch them while you’re away!

“I was really nervous about leaving my dog for boarding, but April made the whole experience so much easier. From the start, she was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. She even sent me a video while I was away, which helped ease my mind and showed me how happy and well-cared-for my dog was. I truly appreciated the communication and care she provided. I highly recommend April and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Hana was great. She took care of my little kitten like her own. She kept updating me with pics every few hours. She answered all of my messages fast. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is on top of things I recommend her 100% percent. :)”

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
98% of sitters in Apple Valley Highlands 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 Apple Valley Highlands 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 Apple Valley Highlands.
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 Apple Valley Highlands 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 CA 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
