About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for a very long time within my personal life but I am new to caring for pets professionally. I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes & ages of dogs & cats. I have extensive experience with a variety of pet behavioral issues as well as pets with health issues. I also know pet first aid & cpr if it was ever necessary. I have had many rescue dogs & currently own two dogs myself. I treat my dogs as family & I will do the same for your pets. My schedule is very flexible. I do work other jobs but I make my own work hours & days so I’m available even with short notice. I can dedicate all the time needed to care for your pets and accommodate their schedule without it interfering with my other responsibilities. I’m available to pet sit at your home including day time pet sitting, overnights, or just drop ins. I will follow your pets feeding & walking schedules along with any special instructions or needs your pet may have. I will care for your pets as if they we own fur babies
About: *Pet CPR Certified through RECOVER* ✅ Hi! 🐶 My name is Chloe, and I come from a family of dog and cat lovers. I have a lifelong love for animals and am currently working towards obtaining a Wildlife Biology degree. I want to give you peace of mind by ensuring that your fur baby's needs are met with care and compassion every time that you are away. If you own birds, reptiles, insects, or small mammals, I'd be more than happy to care for them as well! -Volunteer experience - Big Bear Alpine Zoo, Big Bear, CA HALO Animal Rescue, Glendale, AZ I am currently in between jobs and have full availability until further notice. 😊 I will be starting school again soon, so my availability may change in the next couple of months. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I monitor pets closely, keep doors and gates secured, and only use leashes outdoors. I follow all owner instructions regarding diet, medication, and routines. I maintain a clean environment with access to fresh water and a quiet resting area. I will never bring pets into crowded or unsafe environments. I respect my clients’ homes and privacy when providing in-home care. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos throughout the stay or visit.
“Ria is the best! The reports and photos she sends us give us peace of mind that our boys are safe and happy. They always welcome her and spend time engaging with her while she is here, sure signs from cats that they are happy.”
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.
“Brooke was awesome, stopped by the house before hand to make sure the dogs were comfortable with her. She asked about any issues or things she should be aware of as well. Came by on time and communicated with both my wife and I letting us know she was their and the dogs were good. Thanks Brooke!”
About: Dog lover since childhood. Reliable, caring, and experienced with dogs from friends and family. Treating every dog like family, with patience, love, and attention to every dog’s needs. I’m a full-time online student, so pet sitting provides the flexibility I need while allowing me to spend time doing something I love. I’ve cared for pets belonging to family and friends, following their routines closely to provide consistency, comfort, personalized care, and plenty of love while owners are away.
About: I've always had friends with dogs and have done house and dog sitting for many years without any issues. I also have a saint Bernard, Banks! I'm currently looking for a new job after I was laid off from my former job. I have a lot of time on my hands currently so I have open availability. I take my doggo out on walks every day! We're also lazy from time to time but we're usually more active. I'm very engaged with my dog as he can be very energetic so I can definitely handle bigger dogs with a lot of energy.
About: I taken care when I was very young even taking care of ill/sick animals. I'll nurse them back to health when vets couldn't do it. I bottle feed and take them to the restroom when they are babies. I been taking care since 10 years old. I'm very open with my schedule and love to be around animals. I work from home working as a editor and have lots of free time. I have a gate area for all animals. I always have them on a leash and make sure we walk in the morning or evening. It's too hot for their paws if you have booties for them even great. Always have water on me and poop bags. I never have anything laying around for them to eat or play with. I'm always outside with them when need to go potty and play.
“Cassidy is absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend a better pet sitter. From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my pup. She cared for her in my home for a full week, checking in twice a day and even staying overnight when needed. Cassidy is thoughtful, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. My pup was happy, well cared for, and honestly a little spoiled with her new routine! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Cassidy is a wonderful, hardworking, and genuinely kind person. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet as if they were her own, don’t hesitate to book her. She is truly exceptional. :)”
About: I have a 7 year old ‘puppy’ Jaxon who is my reason for loving dogs so much. I often pet sit for my family for their 2 labs, and my sister in law’s beagle. It’s important to me as a dog mom & travel lover that my own dog feels at home with whomever he stays with when I travel & I want to offer you that same peace of mind and comfort. I am attentive to each dog’s needs and make sure that they receive enough exercise and play time so that they are happy and occupied. As they say, a good dog is a tired dog! I’ll make sure your pupp receives all the exercise and attention they need. :) I currently make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pupps. I can be available for multiple drop-ins, for walks, structured play time & potty breaks. I offer drop-in visits. I am happy to stop by and walk your dog multiple times a day, depending on their needs and energy level. I’m used to my high energy dog, who needs lots of exercise and play - he loves fetch. I am willing to care for your dog as if they are my own, making sure they get all the attention & love they need :)

“Randy is awesome! He made a point to come and meet our girls he night before, to make them comfortable. The next day, he arrived on time, took the dogs on a substantial walk, and sent pictures, which was comforting. I would highly recommend Randy and will definitely seek his services next time we are in Big Bear!”

“Melissa was willing to help me out with a last minute request when other plans fell through. I was staying in Sugarloaf for a ski weekend and the person I had lined up to walk my puppy, Alfie, canceled his Sunday walk on Saturday. I reached out to Melissa Saturday afternoon to see if she could help, and she responded almost immediately. During their walk, Alfie was so curious about the smells on the walk that he forgot to go potty. Melissa stayed long enough to make sure that he went. She was awesome. 100% recommend.”
“Rachel did wonderful job and took great care of our two boys, one being a large Labrador and one being a poodle. The two absolutely loved her and you can see them so happy in the photos she sent. We are so grateful to have found someone so responsible and caring for our pets. Our poodle takes meds and it was no problem for her to administer them. She cared for them as if they were her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Big Bear Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
