“Cali had a great experience with Hugh and Mary! They were reliable, communicative, and clearly love animals. My dog was happy, well-cared, and even got some extra playtime. I really appreciated the updates and photos, it gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend and would definitely book again! Thank you Hugh and Mary for taking good care of Cali! 🐶”
“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!”
“Bamboo, the 1.5 year old energetic pitbull, had a great time staying at Lacey's! She was tired out for a whole day afterward, indicating she had a lot of good play time. :-) Great communication, highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Melanie took fantastic care of Bella! She sent updates with pictures and videos. I could see Bella spent quality time with Melanie and her kids and Bella being comfortable with them. Bella came home happy and tired! Highly recommend Melaine!”
“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!”
“Katherine took a good care of our dog during his extended stay. She also sent pictures on daily basis so we felt at ease knowing that our dog is cared for. Thanks for bathing our dog and sending him home with some treats. You are such a wonderful person, Katherine. We won’t think twice about leaving our dog with you again. Highly recommended!!!!”
“Edith was wonderful! The boarding request was last minute and she graciously accepted the booking. Lucy was well cared for during her stay. Edith even washed Lucy’s bed before I picked her up. Thank you!”
“Absolute sweet people to the core. just off brief interaction i felt i could trust them with our boy, of whom can be a bit nervous with new people. They had other dogs but our pup got along just great and came home super excited and happy and had a fantastic nap afterwards. Will definitely be looking for them to petsit again when we need”
“Second time booking Kelly. She is amazing and keeps me updated on how my girl is doing. I know Tuna loves her because my girl is very shy but she is so comfortable with her now. Thank you Kelly. Would 100% recommend! & would absolutely book her again and again and 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!”
“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!”
“Karyn was great! She watched our two pups for a long weekend and they were well taken care of. Karyn sent us updates, took them on walks, gave them treats, played lots of fetch with our hyper active border collie and made sure to follow the instructions I gave her at drop off. Her home was perfect for what we were looking for and we’ll be sure to have her dog sit in the future.”
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.
“Heather was an amazing sitter for our Chubbs. She made sure he was treated like part of her family. She made necessary adjustments if she saw he wasn’t sleeping or eating to his liking. Very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updated us often. I would absolutely use Heather again and recommend her.”

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.
100% 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.
