“Onyx loves to go to Hugh and Mary's house. She is very comfortable there and very loved. She is part of the family. I know she is safe and loved when she is there.”
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.
“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!”
“Lacey is an amazing dog caretaker! She's watched our "nervous nellie" pup for both daytime and long-stay boarding care. Our pup got plenty of playtime with dogs she got along with as well as quiet time when she needed it. Lacey really pays attention to the individual needs of the dogs which we value so much. When we arrive our dog is happy to be there and spend time with Lacey and her family.”
“Amanda was awesome! Highly recommend. We have a young husky and senior Shih Tzu that is very needy and can be a bit much. She and her family did great with both of our dogs. We received daily updates and pics and videos. Which we appreciated as this was the first time leaving them. Our husky is a rescue and can be very skittish but somehow she didn’t have an issue with Amanda. Will definitely be leaving our dogs with her again.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my terrier, Laidy. She has severe separation anxiety and becomes very depressed when she's away from me, so leaving her for a week was something I was really worried about. From the moment Laidy arrived, it was clear she was in caring and capable hands. Savannah was incredibly diligent, observant, and compassionate. She paid close attention to Laidy's needs, made sure she got plenty of walks, and did an amazing job helping manage her anxiety. Most importantly, she gave Laidy so much love and attention that she truly felt at home. The updates and care she provided gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'm beyond grateful for the kindness and dedication Savannah showed my dog. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Marinee was great! Kept me informed on Harley and Harley seemed to have a great time there as well! She was exhausted when we got her home, so that tells me she had a blast! She’s a high energy 1 1/2 yr old dobie so it takes a lot to wear her out. So thankful for Marinee, we will definitely use her again!”
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. I am currently a dog trainer so I know how to care for dogs and their individual needs. My current dog has a lot of different medical needs as well. Depending on what the animal needs are, I make a specific care plan for them and follow it exactly. If it works, why change it? We always want what’s best for pets.
“I’m sure I’m like most dog moms- i worry that my dogs will be stressed while I’m away. This definitely was not the case with Katherine. My small lap dog that never plays actually played with Katherines dog! That made me very happy. When you drop her off, she doesn’t even look back. Shes very comfortable. My larger dog likes to lay at Katherines feet and from the many pictures I get from Katherine it is obvious that she is comfortable too. My dogs are happy and safe and what more could you ask for.”
“Not only was this my first time using rover but it was also my pups first time away from home. Knowing my dog, I was worried he would drive Erika and her pup wild. Within a short time, I received a text from Erika saying he's settled now. I imagined him running and jumping all over the place but then a picture followed with him laying with a big ol smile on his face. After that I had zero worries and now my trip has been great and enjoyable. If she can handle my german shepherd I think she will do great with your furry friend.”

“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.”
“Kodi took a very good care of our dog Barley. He got lots of pets and cuddles. She provided daily updates and was very responsive to my texts. Barley looked very happy in all the pictures and when we picked him up, it was clear he was well taken care of and had a great time!”
“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.”

“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.”
“Madison was fantastic! She was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared for our pets like they were her own. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our energetic Vizsla/GSP mix George and our bossy tortie cat Kitty Musgraves can be quite the duo, and Madison handled them both beautifully. She truly went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely book with Madison again. Highly recommend!”
About: We had family cats when I was young and I had some of my own as a young adult. I currently own dogs but I like cats too! I have professionally cared for my former boss’ cats as well. He had 3 cats & I did drop ins along with overnights for him often.
About: *Pet CPR Certified through RECOVER* ✅ I have around 4 years of experience caring for cats of my own, but have had cats around for most of my life! I have also cared for young kittens, senior cats, and have experience administering oral medications.
About: When I was very little we always have animals in our households. Taken them in and caring them. Caring for new born, bottle feeding them, cleaning them up after we help them go to the restroom, cleaning litter boxes. I have 4 cats that I love and take care.
“Nicole was great! Our cat had a great rapport with her and seemed to eat better than usual when we were gone. Getting the daily reports and pictures was reassuring, too. Next time we're gone, we'll book Nicole again.”

About: I’ve taken care of both large and small breed dogs and currently have a cat of my own. I also grew up caring for reptiles, specifically snakes and lizards. I’m a full time student, but I am available on the weekdays in the morning and in the evenings! Some days I am able to spend afternoons as well. I currently have a domestic short hair who is both outdoor and indoor, but she usually just follows me wherever I go. She gets fed twice a week and her litter is cleaned continuously throughout the day. I also have a snake who I feed weekly where she receives a cleaned habitat and water when in her feeding cage. When I am able I try to handle her often to keep her familiar with human touch.
“5/5. Kimberley is fantastic. We’ve used her numerous times to take care of our two days and I’ve never had to worry that they are being taken care of and loved. She is an animal lover and it clearly shows. Thank you Kimberley!”
About: Since I was born there was always a dog in the house. I have grown up with dogs wether they were mine or my other relatives. I have grown such love for not only dogs but other animals as well. I have had bunnies to hamsters to fishes all throughout my life! I just recently moved to the area and while I search for employment, I would love to walk your dogs🥰 I love animals so I thought this would be perfect for me! I do not currently plan to house others animals at my home because I do have two fur babies of my own. I do have a full backyard that is all fenced it though.
About: I worked at a veterinarian for 3 years as a kennel assistant, receptionist, and vet assistant. For a brief 6 months I worked at a small organic pet food store. I also worked at a dog daycare for 3 years as a yard attendant and front desk lead. I can take care of any of your pets needs! Working in the veterinary field gave me the fundamentals of animal care. Working at a pet store that promotes optimizing your pets diet for their needs compliments the medical background I have with dogs to encourage overall healthy living. The dog daycare gave me my overall understanding of socialization between dogs and recognizing unfavorable behavior to prevent any injuries during play time. I love enjoying the outdoors with dogs!
About: I am a whole-hearted dog lover, who understands how hard it is to take vacations or even work long hours without the chance to make time to give your dog the love and care they need and deserve while you're away. Let me take care of your pet while you take time away from home. With my care, I assure you, you will come home to a happy dog! Big Bear offers so many opportunities to get our dogs outdoors, where they can get lots of stimulation and playtime. I have experience parenting my own dog, extended family’s dogs as well as friends’, and clients’ pets as well. I’ve administered medications, adhered to schedules and even been a “puppy midwife”. I understand how important our furry family members are, and I wouldn’t leave my own dog with just anyone. I know how wonderful it is to have peace of mind, and I always take that into consideration while spending time with your pet.
“Taylor was a joy and our dogs were in such great hands. Taylor was very responsible with our fur babies and sent updates and photos by text all night. She also left a prompt report of the evening. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life! So I’ve have a deep understanding and love for them that I don’t think I could ever get over. I’ve owned a cat myself and she was my best companion ever and even brought me a litter of 6 more little companions! I’ve got a lot of experience with administrating medications, and all the necessary deep-cleaning techniques to make sure that your furry companions are safe, healthy and comfortable.

“Hugh & Mary were awesome & super accommodating. I had a last minute request and they responded very quickly & were excellent communicators. They have a great backyard for the dogs to hang out and play together. Throughout the day they sent updates & pictures, letting me know how my puppy was settling in. I would absolutely call them again if I’m back in the area. Location is super convenient for Big Bear & Summit.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Savannah! She took great care of my Yorkie and treated him like he was her own. She was reliable, caring, and made sure he was comfortable and happy while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: About Me: Animals are my life’s work. My background is unique: I spent 20 years as a commercial airline pilot, a career built on extreme reliability, safety protocols, and being dependable under pressure. I bring that same disciplined "cool head" to pet sitting. Whether I’m managing a pack on a mountain trail, caring for a senior dog, or tending to a barn, your animals’ safety and your peace of mind are my priorities.R Rehab, Healing & Holistic Expertise: For over 15 years, I have specialized in rehabbing dogs with behavioral challenges. My approach is a blend of structured positive reinforcement and intuitive energy work: Behavioral Rehab: I have extensive experience with "difficult" cases, rescues, and high-needs temperaments. Energy Work & Reiki: I am trained in Animal Reiki and Emotion Code. This allows me to help animals release trapped emotions and settle into a calm, balanced state—perfect for anxious travelers or rescues with a traumatic past. All Species, All Breeds – No Discrimination I welcome all animals regardless of breed, size, or status. I am comfortable with "power breeds," giant breeds, and intact dogs, provided they are social and well-mannered and trained. The "Adventure" Standard: For my canine guests, we go on at least one long hike or intensive walk daily, often including outings to the lake and local trails. Farm & Livestock Care: Having run a farm animal rescue, I am experienced with horses, goats, sheep, cows, pigs, and poultry. I am happy to provide farm-sitting services for those who need a caregiver who truly understands livestock.

Feel free to ask me for a multi-animal discount! I am home full time dedicating my life to my animals. We typically head out for our long walk or hike in the morning after which everyone is having their meal. The exercise in the morning ensures a calm and happy pack for the rest of the day. My property is fully fenced in and dividable into three sections: Front yard, porch and backyard. The animals are my priority and are typically never left alone.

“I enjoyed seeing Loki’s picture updates especially playing with other dogs. Cesar was great with picture updates and at the end of the day Loki was exhausted of his fun day.”
“Jessica was very friendly and easy to communicate with! We are visiting for the week from Arizona and wanted a place for our pups for a few hours while we did some activities at the lake. My dogs were nervous at first as it was a new place, but Jessica sent lots of updates and pictures letting me know they settled in just fine, even making friends with Jessica’s dog! Will be using her again in a few days during our stay!”
About: I've had dogs growing up, as an adult I owned a lab pit mix from being 4 days old to when she passed not too long ago at the age of 12.

About: After years of caring for all my friends pets when they go out of town I decided to give this a try! I love all animals and now that I work part time at home I am always available. I am a very active person and love the outdoors so I have no problem spending time outside with your pet. Living in Big Bear there are plenty of trails and dog parks available to visit within walking distance of our home. We also have a doggy door and a fenced in backyard.

About: Dogs of all sizes and personalities are welcome here—I truly love them all. What makes my care unique is the environment I provide: a fully fenced ½ acre yard with multiple play areas for fetch, running, and exploring. We’re just a short walk from both the village and the lake, which means your dog can enjoy safe, scenic adventures every day. Inside, pups are treated like family with full furniture privileges—whether they want to curl up on the couch, stretch out on the rug, or join me on the wrap-around deck for fresh air and sun. I believe in letting dogs live their best life, both indoors and outdoors. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special needs pets, so I can adapt care to match your dog’s stage of life—whether that means extra patience with potty training, gentle support for mobility, or a little extra playtime to burn off puppy energy. My approach is always loving, consistent, and safety-first. Your dog won’t just be supervised—they’ll be engaged, cared for, and made to feel at home. Pet care isn’t something I “fit in” around other tasks—it’s my top priority. From the moment your dog arrives, they will be treated like family. I structure my day around feeding times, play sessions, walks, and rest, making sure every dog has the attention and care they deserve. Whether that means extra belly rubs, sticking to a familiar routine, or paying close attention to their unique needs and behaviors. I’m always tuned in to the little things: how much water they’re drinking, how energetic they seem, or if they just need some quiet cuddle time. Because I live in a dog-friendly environment with a large fenced yard and plenty of outdoor space, it’s natural for me to build in multiple exercise and play breaks throughout the day. I’m also flexible, so I can match your dog’s routine as closely as possible to what they’re used to at home. In short, pet care isn’t just part of my schedule—it is my schedule. Your pup’s happiness and comfort are always at the center of my day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. I provide a secure, fully fenced ½ acre yard where dogs can run, play, and explore without worry. The space is divided into multiple play areas, so I can tailor the environment depending on a dog’s size, age, or energy level. Whether it’s a high-energy game of fetch or a quiet sniffing stroll, every pup has a safe place to enjoy themselves. Inside my home, dogs are treated like family with supervised free roam and furniture privileges—no being tucked away or left alone for long stretches. The wraparound deck allows for safe outdoor lounging and plenty of fresh air, while still keeping pups secure. I build trust by maintaining a calm, attentive presence. I carefully monitor interactions, body language, and energy levels to ensure every dog feels comfortable. For puppies, seniors, or dogs with special needs, I adjust activities and rest times to meet their unique requirements. With me, your dog will be in an environment designed to help them thrive, relax, and feel at home.
About: Hi! My name is Persia. I have been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for pets. I currently have one small dog at home- as well as two cats. I make sure all pets’ needs are met through daily feeding, walks, playtime, attention, and affection. I am patient, gentle, and dedicated to making small dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Hi! I am a college student back home in California for the summer. I am an animal lover in need of something to keep me busy over the summer, so this is what i chose to do! Spend time with animals and care, as i am very experienced and have grown up having pet animals. I am very experienced with pets, knowing the risks they take (running off, eating random twigs on the floor), so I will be a very attentive sitter. Your pet will not be lonely or left unattended by me! He/she can walk safely with me and be safe in my home. My yard is the largest in the city, and i have a dog play pen. They can run around in the dog pen! My house is also a free range for your pet.
“Always a great place to leave my Lola! They're dependable & kind, it's also nice that our pup gets the chance to play with other dogs there. Always love the pictures she sends me. It makes me feel good that she comes home exhausted!! Wonderful place to leave your poocher!”
“Moriah provides outstanding doggy daycare! Her property is expansive, allowing dogs to be able to run and play in the safety of a well fenced yard. My fur babies got to play with several other dogs in a large yard in safety. She and her family supervise all the dog play both inside her home and out. We look forward to having Moriah provise doggy daycare again. Highly recommended!”

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.

About: I’ve always had animals around while growing up. I don’t think I can recall a time I haven’t had a pet. I even insisted on rescuing my dear Daizie May when I was 12 from the pound. I’ve helped raise several litters and rescue any dog I see in need. I have to actively stay off Facebook as to not fall into fostering or taking in any animal in need. My boyfriend calls me a Disney Princess with the way I communicate with my animals. It’s all about body language, respect, and patience. Trust is extremely important. I currently work a flexible schedule in my family owned business and am looking for side jobs that I also am passionate about. Any time that I’m needed I can usually make it work. I’m ready to follow and assist in whatever systems are set up in your family and household. Whatever your fur family is used to! Photos are VERY important and cherished.

About: I have taken care of many animals since I was around 12 years old. For years, people within my community have come to me to take care of, or spend time with their sweet (and sometimes not so sweet) pets while they were away, and because I am so used to caring for children, I have a special place in my heart for pets of all kinds. I am very patient and nurturing and have many pets of my own back home in GA where I grew up, but because I am away from my own fur babies, I am hoping to have the opportunity to spend time with yours, just as if they were mine. :) My typical full-time job is within the film industry, which is shut down for the time being due to a writer’s strike that has forced thousands out of work for an unknown amount of time. With that being said, I’m spending a lot of time at home and have a completely open schedule for pet care! The writer’s strike likely will go on for months, so I am fully available now for full-time pet care and will still be available part time once the film industry is back up and running! I have always felt comfortable having pets on my furniture as well as in my bed, as I grew up with three “lap dogs” who crave constant attention and cuddles. I understand that not all pets prefer to be touched or held, but I like to give pet owners that option. :) I am a pretty active young adult, so I love dogs that like to go on hikes or walks around our nice, friendly neighborhood. (or yours!) I never let my own animals’ food or water bowls go empty, so I make sure that the pets are always well maintained and taken care of. I am attentive, caring and patient and I’m eager to share my love with your pets!
About: Hello! As a devoted dog mom myself, I understand the importance of trust, safety, and individualized attention for every fur baby. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special care needs, I’ll treat your furry friend like family! I’ve been blessed to have pets in my family my entire life. I adopted my own large pup three years ago and I adopted my kitty in 2014. I trained my puppy and have also trained my cat (yes, it’s possible). I am good with all dog sizes and all cats! I’m currently working full-time but I have a flexible schedule. I can work around the needs of your fur baby! I am free most early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Long walks, extra cuddles, and lots of love. My fur-babies are my children. They are so spoiled and I carry myself the same way in caring for others!
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. Animals are a major part of my life and I have a special bond to them. I have experience with dogs, cats and other critters. I am certified in pet first aid and have walked/sat over 100 dogs and cats. To say that I’m passionate would be an understatement! 🐾 I’ve worked for a pet sitting company for over a year before deciding to work independently. I currently volunteer at Grateful Heart Animal Sanctuary. 🐄 🐓 🐖 I hope to meet you and your furry pal soon! 😊 I am a full time sitter/walker and part-time certified massage therapist. I’m also a college student. I specialize in drop-ins, dog walking, boarding and cat care. I’m very detail-oriented and give my all to every pet. Big Bear Schedule: Sunday evenings - Friday nights Rialto/Fontana/Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga Schedule: Saturday mornings - Sunday mornings I have a fenced yard with a gentle giant named Athena. She’s a Great Pyrenees rescue who is great with animals of every size. She is trained and an absolute teddy bear. I have two spare rooms for animals who’d prefer a more quiet atmosphere or sleeping environment.
“Melissa is a rock star dog walker! 🤘😎❤️🐾 My Goldem Retriever was desperate for a walk and it started raining — this did not stop Melissa from giving my dog the most fun walk in the rain ever! ☔️🐕 My dog is so happy and I’m very grateful!”

About: I’ve taken care of both large and small breed dogs and currently have a cat of my own. I also grew up caring for reptiles, specifically snakes and lizards. I’m a full time student, but I am available on the weekdays in the morning and in the evenings! Some days I am able to spend afternoons as well. I currently have a domestic short hair who is both outdoor and indoor, but she usually just follows me wherever I go. She gets fed twice a week and her litter is cleaned continuously throughout the day. I also have a snake who I feed weekly where she receives a cleaned habitat and water when in her feeding cage. When I am able I try to handle her often to keep her familiar with human touch.

“Onyx loves to go to Hugh and Mary's house. She is very comfortable there and very loved. She is part of the family. I know she is safe and loved when she is there.”
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.
“Lacey is an amazing dog caretaker! She's watched our "nervous nellie" pup for both daytime and long-stay boarding care. Our pup got plenty of playtime with dogs she got along with as well as quiet time when she needed it. Lacey really pays attention to the individual needs of the dogs which we value so much. When we arrive our dog is happy to be there and spend time with Lacey and her family.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my terrier, Laidy. She has severe separation anxiety and becomes very depressed when she's away from me, so leaving her for a week was something I was really worried about. From the moment Laidy arrived, it was clear she was in caring and capable hands. Savannah was incredibly diligent, observant, and compassionate. She paid close attention to Laidy's needs, made sure she got plenty of walks, and did an amazing job helping manage her anxiety. Most importantly, she gave Laidy so much love and attention that she truly felt at home. The updates and care she provided gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'm beyond grateful for the kindness and dedication Savannah showed my dog. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Marinee was great! Kept me informed on Harley and Harley seemed to have a great time there as well! She was exhausted when we got her home, so that tells me she had a blast! She’s a high energy 1 1/2 yr old dobie so it takes a lot to wear her out. So thankful for Marinee, we will definitely use her again!”
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. I am currently a dog trainer so I know how to care for dogs and their individual needs. My current dog has a lot of different medical needs as well. Depending on what the animal needs are, I make a specific care plan for them and follow it exactly. If it works, why change it? We always want what’s best for pets.
“I’m sure I’m like most dog moms- i worry that my dogs will be stressed while I’m away. This definitely was not the case with Katherine. My small lap dog that never plays actually played with Katherines dog! That made me very happy. When you drop her off, she doesn’t even look back. Shes very comfortable. My larger dog likes to lay at Katherines feet and from the many pictures I get from Katherine it is obvious that she is comfortable too. My dogs are happy and safe and what more could you ask for.”
“Not only was this my first time using rover but it was also my pups first time away from home. Knowing my dog, I was worried he would drive Erika and her pup wild. Within a short time, I received a text from Erika saying he's settled now. I imagined him running and jumping all over the place but then a picture followed with him laying with a big ol smile on his face. After that I had zero worries and now my trip has been great and enjoyable. If she can handle my german shepherd I think she will do great with your furry friend.”

“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.”
