“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!”
“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.”
“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 !”
“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.”
“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.”
“Shane took such amazing care of my dog, Bruno. I’ve honestly never had someone look after him this well before, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. You can tell he genuinely cares, and Bruno came back happy and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.”
“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!”
“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!”
“EXCELLENT CARE, EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY! There is no one that loves my Sissy more than her Papa... but Rachel may have just convinced me that God put Rachel here to prove me wrong! Thank you so much for the love and care you give Sissy. She has made you and you family part of mine. So, we're looking forward to regular bookings in the future... and adoption if anything ever happens to Papa Rick.”
“Adam and Franny are amazing! They took very good care of my pup. He loved spending time with them and they are phenomenal at updating and sending pics. I was sad/nervous leaving my pup but Franny and Adam really made me feel at ease knowing how well taken care of Rolly was. I’m the future I would use them again in a heart beat. ☺️”
“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”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“This was the first time we used Rover, and it was the first time that we ever left our dog with anybody. I was a little nervous, but I was more than pleased with the way everything was handled. They treated her the same as we would have treated her ourselves. She came back, happy healthy and I would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you Martin for an outstanding job.”
“As always, Darlene sent ton of pictures to keep us updated. Penny has so much fun. Darlene was even able to take Penny for an extra day when our flight was changed the day before our trip. We will definitely be using her again for our next trip.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Big Bear Lake on Rover is $61.05 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 543 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Big Bear Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Lake 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 Lake 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 Lake 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 Lake.
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 Lake 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.
