“Amazing dog lovers!!! Hugh and Mary are wonderful people and truly loved my 2 dogs while in their care. They have a secure setup with lots of room to walk and sniff around and a doggy door for doggy autonomy haha. They sent pictures of my happy dogs and put my mind at ease. Thank you, Hugh and Mary!”
About: I can’t imagine living a life without being a dog mom. I’ve had dogs since my childhood and practically my entire adult life. I’ve had heartbreak from losing them because they were so loved. I’m retired and home mostly except for when I travel. I’m available to walk dogs and to play with them in fenced yard. I have a soft spot for all animals. My dog Holly is mostly an inside dog but always has access to fenced backyard through doggie door. The same would apply for any dogs I care for.
“Amanda was very communicative, she would constantly send me pictures and give multiple updates through out the day. She cleaned and helped heal his eye when he had a small scratch. She had very open availability to work with my schedule, we had no problems. My dog was very happy through the entire time she was caring for him and would hire her again in the future,hopefully she would accept it. Thanks Amanda.”
“Savannah was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She was so sweet, caring, and loving toward them, which made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated often and sent lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well taken care of. It was such a relief not having to worry about them while we were gone. We would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch our pups again!”
“Melissa was the absolute best. She took the best care of Kevin and went above and beyond to help me with logistics. Certainly our best experience on Rover so far. Thank you!”
“Caesar was awesome!! This was the first time we left our dog Dolly?. He communicated with me while we were gone. She looked so happy in the picture he sent❤️ We would definitely take her there again.”
“Our furr babies had a lovely summer camp ? at Lacey’s place. It gives us a piece of mind to find someone that we can trust to take care of our pets while we’re away from our home. We highly recommended Lacey’s service and we would love to use her service again in the future.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for my Doberman puppy! Marinee has so much experience with Dobermans, and it really shows. It was comforting to know my Ruby was in the hands of someone who understands the breed’s unique energy and needs. Marinee treated my Ruby like one of their own, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and care. The updates and photos they sent were a bonus and showed just how happy and well cared for my pup was. I highly recommend Marinee to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable sitter, especially for Doberman owners. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“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!”
“Erika was a beyond great sitter! She not only kept me updated but asked any necessary questions to make sure everything was an easy transition and did such an awesome job at trying to keep his schedule as consistent as possible. Thank you so much for everything !”
“Melanie went above and beyond to care for our doggie. She took care of her a week after having surgery. We trust Melanie with our dog and know she is going to be well taken care of.”
“Phyllis was a great help with our dog. Genie loved all the walks and attention she got while we were out of town. We got videos and photos daily and she looked very comfortable and relaxed. Phyllis even helped meet us since we were a little far. Definitely would use again despite the distance from our home. Makes it worth it to know everything went well. Thank you!”
“Once again, a seamless stay with Nina. We are so fortunate to have found her- we know Hula is taken care of and happy and we never have to worry about a thing when she’s with Nina. We love the pictures and videos we get of Hula while we’re gone and so appreciate all the love Hula gets from Nina and her dogs when we’re away.”
“Heater was great with the pups. It was their first time with her and it went well. Heather is very communicative and provides lots of updates. She took the time to let us know how they were doing and asked great questions about their regular habits. Great experience and I recommend her services.”
“She was great Bella is almost 16 never had been left with a stranger, she seemed so happy when I picked her up ❤️ we will dwfinetly use Alena for any future needs”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Big Bear City on Rover is $62.16 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 .

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.
98% of Big Bear City 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 Big Bear City 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 Big Bear City 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 Big Bear City.
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 Big Bear City 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.
