“Fantastic dog sitters and dog lovers. We could tell our dog Raya was super connected with Patricia and Rick, and super well taken care of with lots of walks and snuggles. They really cared about her as their own and shared heaps of pictures throughout the short stay. We also appreciated that it was a last minute booking and they were able to take Raya in. If you’re in Big Bear and need a sitter, please check this beautiful family’s availability!”
“Our pup Elsa is a happy repeat vacationer - she has a blast playing with other dogs and snuggling with Hugh and Mary, and we have peace of mind that she’s safe and loved while we’re away.”
“Thank you Melissa for taking very great care of our gur baby Hina. We appreciated the constant updates and pics sent to us letting us know Hina was ok. I would definitely recommend Melissa if you need someone to take care of your fur baby if you’re in the Big Bear Lake area!”
About: Hi! I’m Erin, Graduate Gemologist & Jeweler, that works from home! I am a pet owner also. And love all breeds of animals. I have a mixed breed rescue dog (all shots and healthy) and two rescue cats. My three amigos! I have always owned large dogs, and am experienced with larger breeds. But I also adore the teeny tiny ones as well! If your pet comes to my home, they must accept cats as I have two indoor kitties. I have a large Enclosed yard they can run and play in, all day if they want. a large crate of needed , and I’m home full time. I can do sleepovers in your home, if not frequent, or extended stays. My pets and husband might get jealous! 🤣 *PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT board cats in my home, only dogs and caged animals. Sorry. I work from home and have the flexibility of scheduling work around my fury friends! I am available to accept any pets starting at 8am on weekdays and weekends. We take 1-2 walks each day. Your pet is allowed on furniture, so my home will become their home comfortably. I have a large backyard that is fully enclosed. It is a brick wall of decent height but I will need to know if you own a reindeer that can fly over a wall! 🤣
“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!”
“Lacey was so sweet. My pups loved their stay! She sent many pictures & it helped me enjoy my trip, knowing they were in good hands and very happy. I will definitely be using Lacey again.”
“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.”
About: Hello! I am Woody’s Owner ( 2 yo, m, Aussie, 55 lbs) and you got a friend in me! I am communicative, positive, and flexible with your needs. I am high energy, loving, and helpful. Here’s a little about my pet experience: I have volunteered at animal shelters since I was fifteen years old. I have experience with reptiles, birds, cats, and dogs. I enjoy backpacking, hiking, trail walks, and simply crocheting at home with the tv on. I like to watch the next Netflix drama hit, obviously. I have activities to do with high energy dogs and even low energy ones. See you’ve got a friend in me. I’ve got you through the highs and lows. I have open availability most of the week. I am open to any routines owners would like me to continue for their pets. This can be related to food, exercise, medication, and so on. My dog is kennel trained, so he can be separated from any other dogs I’m sitting if the dog I am sitting is not socialized. However, my dog is socialized and will be happy to have a playmate. I can take your pet out as often as you require and I can transport dogs to the dog park if that is okay. I also have extra feeding and water bowls, as well as toys and treats for any dog I am sitting. I also have a fenced yard.
“Michelle was a great sitter who took care of our furry baby kindly and considerately! Our Orson came back happily and we're happy too 😊 We definitely would love to have Michelle take care of our dog again! We highly reccomend Michelle! :)”

I have a fully fenced yard and three friendly dogs—Balto, Henri, and Sarabi—who love to play and socialize. I always make sure introductions are done calmly and safely. I also have a separate room available for your fur baby if they need quiet time or prefer their own space, especially during cold, hot, or rainy weather. Crates are available if your pet is crate-trained or finds comfort in having their own cozy area. My goal is to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible while making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and at home.
About: With 6 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and needs. I’m also a proud owner of three dogs, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels, including large breeds such as Rottweilers and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, as well as smaller dogs. I’m comfortable managing multiple-dog households, maintaining separate feeding areas to prevent resource guarding, and following medication schedules and special care instructions. I especially enjoy working with active dogs that love walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime. I also understand that senior dogs and smaller breeds may need a slower pace, additional breaks, and individualized attention. My home features a fully fenced property with separate backyard areas, allowing dogs to enjoy supervised outdoor time while providing separation when needed. My priority is always your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I treat every dog with patience, affection, and respect for their individual needs, and I strive to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I currently work as an electrical designer engineer. I also run an Airbnb with my partner and we both do Rover together. I work from home Wednesday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday my schedule is flexible. I have a fully fenced home this includes the front of house as well. The outside of the house has cameras to ensure the property is safe. We also have outdoor lighting. We also have two separate backyards one for our pets and the other for your furry friends.
“Gaius was absolutely wonderful with my girl Lilith! I was so worried about her during the holiday but she had such a good time. Even made a new friend with his adorable dog He sent pictures and videos and kept me informed of how she was doing.. Prompt with pickup and drop off. Will definitely use him again.”
“Louella was an incredible dog sitter. I am so grateful I chose her to take care of my dog Merlin. I was gone for 3 nights and I’ve never been away fe him that long before. She was in consistent communication and sent some of the best pics of him I have ever seen. He was clearly a very happy boy! It was basically like he was on a vacation and I can’t help but feel he was a little disappointed when it was time to go. I can’t recommend Louella enough!”
“This is the second time Air has boarded our cat MacGuffin and both times she has been amazing! Each time he is so calm and happy when he comes home 🥰 Air is so communicative and provides detailed logs about how he's eating and playing which gives us real peace of mind when we are out of town. MacGuffin LOVES her and she is definitely our first choice sitter!!”
“Andrea and Jennifer were fantastic! They watched our dog Roxxy for 9 days and she had a blast. They sent us daily photos and videos and we were really happy with the care they gave Roxxy. We will definitely use them again.”
“We loved Johna. She was so patient and caring dealing with our two very old dogs. I felt like they were getting the best care possible. She provided reports 3 times a day and let us know how our antique fur kids were doing. You can tell when someone truly loves animals and it's clear that Johna does.”

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
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.

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.
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.
96% of sitters in Sugarloaf 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 Sugarloaf 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 Sugarloaf.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sugarloaf. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
You and your Sugarloaf 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
