“I’ve used rover for many years but Hugh & Mary were the best dog sitters I’ve ever had. They are fun loving people who genuinely care about your dog and that you are at ease while they are watching them. They have a great yard and will cuddle your dogs and play ball with them or whatever else they like! I got regular updates and upon pickup got a little gift from them. I will rebook if I’m ever in their area again (I was traveling and close by for a music festival). They are TOP NOTCH, probably the best couple on Rover!”
“Great couple, positive vibes, very polite and understanding when I was running late for pickup. My dog didn't want to leave, he had alot of fun playing with the other dogs. I will definitely book again.”
“Amazing stay! we got pictures throughout the stay and our dog enjoyed it :) She was also very kind and accommodating to our schedule when we had to change the drop off/pickup times last minute. Will definitely trust her to keep our fur baby again!”
“Thank you Melissa for taking very great care of our gur baby Hina. We appreciated the constant updates and pics sent to us letting us know Hina was ok. I would definitely recommend Melissa if you need someone to take care of your fur baby if you’re in the Big Bear Lake area!”
“Great guy very down to earth and seemed to have a lot of knowledge on handling and training dogs. Our dogs had a great time would recommend Caesar to anyone. Thank you!”
“Lacey is great! Amazing property for the dogs to run around at, thoughtful processes, walks, kind treatment, clean facilities, and overall great family business. Will 100% rebook with her when I need Rover again!”
About: I am currently a dog bather, used to be a dog trainer and have experience with multiple dog breeds and temperaments, I know how to approach timid dogs as well as puppies or older dogs. I am currently a dog trainer so I know how to care for dogs and their individual needs. My current dog has a lot of different medical needs as well. Depending on what the animal needs are, I make a specific care plan for them and follow it exactly. If it works, why change it? We always want what’s best for pets.
“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!”
“Kelly is a wonderful person and very attentive to my needs and the needs of my puppy. She sent lot's of pictures of Honda daily and walked her a few times a day. Kelly, thank you for being a blessing. I will use you again😊 Sooner than you think 🤣🥰”
“Erica really has been a god send! We are so sad she won't be in our area anymore but she was absolutely great with our dog! We used her serveral times and she even went above and beyond to monitor/help with his anxiety! Would highly recommend!”
“Yoshi is truly a dog whisperer. Moxy boarded with Yoshi and her dogs for 4 days. We (and Moxy) knew the minute we met Yoshi and her dogs that the care would be warm and loving. Thanks Yoshi!”
“Marinee took excellent care of my dog over the weekend. She was communicative and sent pictures and videos of my dogs stay with her daily. From drop off to pick up, the process was straightforward and easy. Marinee was very nice to work with. Will definitely use her services again! Thank you Marinee!”
“Kodi and her family are extremely nice and welcoming. I was receiving updates from Kodi daily about Charlie, our miniature Schnauzer, and she and her kids gave him plenty of love and outdoor time. I recommend Kodi and will definitely put Charlie with her next time we’re out of town”
“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”
“Pickles had a great stay with Air! He was such a happy, relaxed boy the whole time, which says a lot. Air sent frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear he was well cared for and got plenty of attention. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend Air to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”
About: About Me: Animals are my life’s work. My background is unique: I spent 20 years as a commercial airline pilot, a career built on extreme reliability, safety protocols, and being dependable under pressure. I bring that same disciplined "cool head" to pet sitting. Whether I’m managing a pack on a mountain trail, caring for a senior dog, or tending to a barn, your animals’ safety and your peace of mind are my priorities.R Rehab, Healing & Holistic Expertise: For over 15 years, I have specialized in rehabbing dogs with behavioral challenges. My approach is a blend of structured positive reinforcement and intuitive energy work: Behavioral Rehab: I have extensive experience with "difficult" cases, rescues, and high-needs temperaments. Energy Work & Reiki: I am trained in Animal Reiki and Emotion Code. This allows me to help animals release trapped emotions and settle into a calm, balanced state—perfect for anxious travelers or rescues with a traumatic past. All Species, All Breeds – No Discrimination I welcome all animals regardless of breed, size, or status. I am comfortable with "power breeds," giant breeds, and intact dogs, provided they are social and well-mannered and trained. The "Adventure" Standard: For my canine guests, we go on at least one long hike or intensive walk daily, often including outings to the lake and local trails. Farm & Livestock Care: Having run a farm animal rescue, I am experienced with horses, goats, sheep, cows, pigs, and poultry. I am happy to provide farm-sitting services for those who need a caregiver who truly understands livestock. Why My Experience Matters From the cockpit to the farm, I’ve spent my life being the person people count on. Whether your animal needs a high-energy mountain guide, a calm healing presence, or a knowledgeable farm hand, I have the experience and the heart to provide it. Feel free to ask me for a multi-animal discount! I am home full time dedicating my life to my animals. We typically head out for our long walk or hike in the morning after which everyone is having their meal. The exercise in the morning ensures a calm and happy pack for the rest of the day. My property is fully fenced in and dividable into three sections: Front yard, porch and backyard. The animals are my priority and are typically never left alone.

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.
95% 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.
