“We’ve used Hugh and Mary many times now and they always take excellent care of our Luna! She has so much fun and is always sad to leave. Luna’s found a second home in Big Bear!”
“We have used Amanda 2 times now . And one was a long stay . Amanda sent pics and communicated with us daily. Piper loves being there ! Walks treats and play activities. She’s definitely our dog sitter ! 5 stars ! ⭐️”
“My dogs are always happy to see Caesar. Leaping out of the car when we pull up. I have a 15 year old Staffie mix and an 8 month old puppy that he's been watching for the last four to five months. The puppy tangled with another dog recently, but Caesar was on the phone immediately to let me know and doing the things Jack needed to feel better. I would definitely recommend him for your pups”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“I was packing up Rainbow’s things to drop him off this weekend and he was so excited, because this time he knew that meant he was going to Lynn’s! I know my buddy is in the best hands when I’m away, and I love to visit with Lynn at drop-off and pick-up. Another great stay for Bow. Thank you, Lynn!”

“Jessica took such wonderful care of my pups! Not only was she kind to them, but she was wonderful about updating me about how they were doing, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. Very grateful for her help!”
“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!”
“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 👍❤️🐶”

Another successful visit to Hugh & Mary! Normally I’ve booked them for day trips but this time I needed the overnight stay. They send multiple photo updates and messages which I absolutely LOVE. She is always smiling having the best time hanging with them and the friends. She’s on medication which was handled with care. Sophie always comes out happy, healthy, and enjoys going back each time we come. We recommend Hugh & Mary any day! They are so kind and caring to my sweet girl. They provide great communication. And always send her home with a to go party bag. So grateful for these two!
Hands down the most amazing dog sitter we have ever experienced. He is just an absolute gem and the most friendly/attentive to your dog and their needs. From asking about feeding to potty break schedules, you can truly tell how much he cares about your lil guy. He kept us updated with our dog and even took him on some awesome adventures! He even sent us the CUTEST photos of our doggo! We feel extremely lucky to have found such an amazing dog sitter. I would recommend him 1000x to anyone looking in the big bear area. We hope to book with him again in the future. Thank you Michael!
Jessica was an excellent sitter. She was also very patient with me despite being over an hour late from our initial meet time due to an issue with the address. She sent me updates with pictures to keep me up to date while she was watching my dog. I would absolutely recommend her.
