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.
“While looking at dog boarding options I sent messages to several people on Rover that fit my dogs needs. Caesar was the first to reply and was very welcoming and helpful. When we went to do a meet and greet prior to leaving our dog for 4 days we instantly became 100% comfortable leaving our dog with Caesar. He did a great job and we will happily request his services again the next time we need help with boarding. Thank you Caesar!”

“We are so thankful to have found Marilyn! She took care of our Mini Poodle while we were gone for the weekend, and I know he had the best time. He was in great spirits when we picked him up, and she sent the sweetest updates. Her home is so cute and set up perfectly. We will definitely be reaching out in the future. Marilyn is a gem! Thank you!”
“Karyn has been such a wonderful sitter for our two pups! We’re sadly moving away and will really miss the ease and comfort of having Karyn nearby. She watched our pups for 7 different trips including two stays that were a week long and she was constantly updating us and taking such good care of our babies. 11/10 would recommend Karyn as a dog sitter!!”

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!

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.
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.

“This was our first sitting experience and it went so well. Jessica was very responsive and let us know our nervous girl was content and sent us a picture of her laying on the couch. Our girls were happy when we picked them up. I would rebook with her again. We had a last minute request for a later pick up and Jessica had no issue keeping them a little longer.”
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. I have experience with small and large dogs I am living full time in Big Bear Lake, I am flexible on your dog sitting time needs. I am available for anything from short walks to week long sitting keeping your dog in my home. I I prefer to watch in my home. My home is dog-friendly, and you are welcome to do an inspection of my home. I have a completed fenced in large backyard that is well maintained.
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. We do not have pets of our own but look forward to meeting and caring for yours! I know leaving pets can be stressful but rest assured your pet will be happy and cared for.
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.

“Moriah was able to take Marlow with short notice during our family crisis. She sent pictures and a video of Marlow having a great time, one less thing for me to worry about. Marlow had a great time running around the yard or resting inside out of he heat. Moriah was very flexible with my husband dropping her off and me picking her up. I would definately book with her again.”
“The dogs came home tired and happy! She also took precaution to separate our smaller dogs from the bigger ones at the start till they were more comfortable which I really appreciated :)”

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.

I love animals and am willing to take all the steps to make sure your pet is happy and safe! I love meeting new pets and making sure I am providing owners great service so they can have a peace of mind while they are away from their babies. I am responsible reliable and very easy to work with. Look forward to meeting you!
About: Hello! My name is Taylor, and I am an animal lover with 15 years of experience caring for my own cats and dogs. I have been walking dogs professionally for about 3 years. I'm offering all services available through Rover (walking, stop-ins, overnight sitting, etc.) to help you and your fur babies! Thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I hope to be seeing you and your pup as soon as possible. :) My work is flexible and remote, so I am available at any time. I can provide all Rover services weekends and weekdays, day and night. I have a fenced patio for fresh air, and an unfenced yard in front of my apartment for relief and play. My senior dog, Bronson, loves to make friends and welcomes company.
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.
“Caesar is so knowledgeable and patient with my Mastiff and Boston terrier. My mastiff is not typically comfortable with men and Caesar has been working with him, taking him on walks and after a couple of visits their total pals! Caesar knows a lot about dog psychology and has helped me a lot with how I work with my dogs. I highly recommend using Caesar for all of your pet sitting services.”
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: 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.
“While looking at dog boarding options I sent messages to several people on Rover that fit my dogs needs. Caesar was the first to reply and was very welcoming and helpful. When we went to do a meet and greet prior to leaving our dog for 4 days we instantly became 100% comfortable leaving our dog with Caesar. He did a great job and we will happily request his services again the next time we need help with boarding. Thank you Caesar!”
“Buddy, our dog, had a great time playing. Erika took him in many walks and allowed him to play which he needs. We appreciated the updates throughout his stay. Thx for everything!”

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. Why My Experience Matters From the cockpit to the farm, I’ve spent my life being the person people count on. Whether your animal needs a high-energy mountain guide, a calm healing presence, or a knowledgeable farm hand, I have the experience and the heart to provide it. 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.
“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.”
“Ariana was absolutely amazing! Coco and Biscuit my two dachschund puppies needed care on a weekend, which was a holiday and I had family coming and they had special needs. And she was just fabulous! Thank you so much!”
“Elizabeth was very kind and accommodating to our medium sized dog for two nights while we visited Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree National Park. Her property has plenty of outdoor space and is well-fenced in and secure. She was a generous caretaker for our pup, and we will certainly keep her in mind for our future trips to the area. Thank you!”
“Nina was a great host! She took the time to separate the dogs and slowly introduce them to our 9yr old husky. She also sent pictures throughout the duration of the stay. I highly recommend booking with her, and I will come back with if I need lodging for my husky.”
“Cheryl was really great! She was so accommodating I had to switch my times a bit cause I was running behind and she completely worked with our schedule. She was able to squeeze in a quick meet and greet in such a short notice. While my baby was there she sent us some pics of her going on a walk and communicated with us the entire time. I will definitely be taking my baby back and will feel 100% comfortable leaving her with Cheryl.”
“Marinee and her family took fantastic care of our two pups! We were grateful to receive photos and updates while we were so far away. Our dogs came back happy and tired from their adventures. I would not hesitate to book again and would highly recommend. Thank you again!”
