“Hugh & Mary were very caring of our senior dog. Their yard is secure and clean and their own dogs are friendly. They sent photos of our dog to reassure us that she was enjoying her stay. I highly recommend Hugh & Mary.”
“I had a great experience! They took wonderful care of my husky girl and gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I really appreciate the time and attention they gave her, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I would definitely book with them again! 🐾❤️A”
“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!”
“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.”
“Vanessa and her family were really great with our dog Millie! She sent regular updates and pictures while we were away. Millie was very happy when I picked her up and she clearly loved the family.”
“Cheryl was awesome with our guys. It was the first time left them for a few days. Cheryl kept in constant communication with us letting us know know they were doing. She even took them on a little field trip :) We felt totally comfortable with Cheryl and will be using her 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!”
“Alena has assisted us with our furry baby twice, and I must say, she has been incredibly helpful and responsive. Whenever I ask about our furry baby, she promptly sends me pictures. I can confidently trust her with our baby every time. Thank you so much! 😊”
“Larry took great care of our pet. This is my first time using a sitter instead of boarding and she was much happier and received his undivided attention. Lots of photos and great communication.”
“We honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience! She is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she has been so caring, attentive, and thoughtful with our babies. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands while we’re away. She keeps us updated, follows their routine, and you can truly tell how much she cares about them. Seeing how comfortable and happy Lucas and Maui are with her means everything to us. We are so grateful for all the love and care she gives them. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our babies.”
“Juliann has a nice little boarding facility in her home. Juli took great care of my special needs dog (blind, neurological issues) while she was there. Juliann has the ability to keep her dogs separated from the boarding dogs or to integrate them depending on needs.”
“Very pleased with Nuvea. Did a great job communicating, including updates and photosduring the boarding. Explained how she would transition my dog into her home with her drugs and cat. Would definitely rebook.”
“April asked many questions on how to best provide for my dog's needs and provided the opportunity for a pre-stay meet and greet. She provided frequent updates and had no problem administering his medicine. She spent time with him and provided a safe environment for him to feel comfortable with her pets.”
“Maribel was nothing but AMAZINGGGG! She treated my Milo like her own. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the weekend which made me feel comfortable. On top of all that, she continued his training and even trained him on new commends. I have no hesitation to leave Milo with Maribel, I will definitely be using her again!”
“We are very thankful for Kara and her family for loving our dog, Elvis, as their own. He loves their home— which is evident by the aggressive tail-wagging when we pull into their driveway. :) Great family”
“Our dog Winston had a wonderful stay at Nina’s place for a week. Sent constant updates and he was very well taken care of during the duration of our stay. We will definitely be using Nina again or text dog sitting need.”
“Kelly, thank you so much for taking such good care of Doby. I can tell in your disposition how much you care about dogs/animals in general and concern for making sure Doby was safe and well. Your regular updates and great communication gave me great peace of mind during my trip. Thank you for going above and beyond with Doby! 🐕🐾”
“Leticia was a great sitter. She sent me pictures everyday and my dog looked very happy. She has a big yard for the dogs to run around and he always looked like he was having so much fun. Leticia answered her phone promptly and was easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend her and will definitely book with her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Big Bear City
Wow! Patricia and Rick are clearly dog lovers and good big-hearted people. Their home and backyard are welcoming and lovely. Moreover, Scout (my 21-month-old, 48-pound pup) instantly connected with Patricia during the meet and greet. Even better, after Scout’s first sleepover, I noted that she was fond of Rick and Holly as well (Holly is Patricia’s and Rick’s fur-baby). During the meet and greet, Holly was a bit standoffish, but when she greeted Scout for the first sleep-over, Holly’s tail was wagging, and she eagerly ushered Scout into the house. Patricia took Scout and Holly on a hike and sent pictures of their outing (Patricia kept Scout on leash). I felt so secure knowing that my baby girl was loved, well-cared for, safe, and having fun with Patricia, Rick, and Holly. So … I just booked Scout’s next stay at her new home away from home. Thank you, Patricia, for choosing to become a Rover sitter!
Eli absolutely loved his stay with Ismara and her fur babies! Not only did he find a new bestie in her Chihuahua Pedro but we had lots of correspondence and photographs and video from Ismara all day as much as I wanted. She reassured me and showed me what a great time he was having. I completely trust her with Eli.! and will definitely be booking again when we go away! Thanks again. 🥰
Janeece is a wonderful dog sitter. From the meet and greet through Zoey's stay, she understood her needs and was kind and patient. She looked for ways to engage Zoey, played with her, and slowly coaxed her into longer walks in a new neighborhood. It was so great to find someone to take care of Zoey that understood an older dog with a little anxiety. I'm very thankful.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Big Bear City is $62 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $77 per night.

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.
97% of sitters in Big Bear City 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 Big Bear City home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
