“Hugh and Mary are the best! They took such good care of our dog while we were away. I appreciated the communication and photos I received from them, assuring us he was having a great time! I would definitely recommend them and plan on booking them for his next vacation (cuz that’s how it felt, like he was getting a vacation too) They are dog lovers and it showed in how they treated him🥰”
“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.”
“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!”
“Being new to Rover, we're very glad to have had Rachel as our first dog sitter! She is very responsive, accommodating, and kind. Rachel provided photo updates every day and made us feel at ease while we were out of town and away from Cooper. We'll definitely be coming back to Rachel again in the future!”
“Excellent experience with Jasmine! She treated our furry kid just like her own. Really appreciated the photo updates, and seeing that our girl was happy, comfortable and was enjoying her new friends. We will absolutely be requesting Jasmine the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Our first time using Rover and we had an excellent experience with Amanda. Very caring and sent us updated messages thru Pipers stay. Very happy and will definitely use Amanda again !”
“Very pleased with Nuvea. Did a great job communicating, including updates and photosduring the boarding. Explained how she would transition my dog into her home with her drugs and cat. Would definitely rebook.”
“Dakota was great with our baby girl Gigi! She was patient and really caring! I loved that she sent updates throughout the weekend and lovely pictures. This was Gigis first time without mom and dad and Dakota definitely made her feel right at home. We now have someone we can trust to leave our baby girl with. Thank you so much Dakota 🩷”
“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!”
“So glad Janeece was available to care for Indy! He can be a nervous fella on first visits but he was calm and at ease since the vibe was very caring! Highly recommend for all of your precious pals!”
“Melanie took fantastic care of Bella! She sent updates with pictures and videos. I could see Bella spent quality time with Melanie and her kids and Bella being comfortable with them. Bella came home happy and tired! Highly recommend Melaine!”
“Shane was so helpful and great with my dog. He sent multiple videos to me everyday. He has a backyard where my dog could run around and he sent me videos of him walking my dog too. I highly recommend Shane!”
“Jazmyn took great care of our doggies. She kept us updated on how they were doing. The bonus part having them stay there with her is she has two beautiful friendly doggies. They all had a great time with their new friends. Definitely will have Jazmyn watch them again!!”
“Darlene is hands down the best sitter we’ve found on here! She took such amazing care of our kitty and we could tell he was super well cared for. And she actually sent so many pictures and updates, we had such peace of mind on our vacation. We will absolutely be booking with her again any time we need to!!”

“Hugh and Mary were exceptional hosts for JoJo Diego! They were very warm and friendly to us and JoJo, and showed genuine love and attention to our furry loved one. :) They were very communicative and responsive also, and very accommodating for a last minute reservation while we went swimming and explored Big Bear. Their house / huge backyard is exceptional for dogs to play and roam also! I highly recommend Hugh and Mary!! We even got a gift bag for us and JoJo when we left :)”

We look forward to having Moriah provise doggy daycare again. Highly recommended!”

“We stayed in Yucca for spring break and we had a few days planned with activities that required doggy day care (zoo and JT national park). I am so glad that we found Juliann. Pickles was so excited every morning when we dropped her off. she got a lot of play time and attention. Juliann checked in with us during the day to update how she was doing and sent pictures. We would definitely recommend her for pet care and will use her again the next time we visit. 😊”

About: I’ve had cats & dogs all my life of all different breeds. I recently lost my beagle of 13 years & my schnauzer of 17 years, and I’m ready to be a special part of your pet’s life in whatever capacity needed. I’ve cared for both healthy pets as well as those needing medication, and I respect that each animal has a unique personality with specific needs. I am excited to meet and care for your precious 4 legged (or three!) family members. I’m very flexible and generally available for even same day check ins and walks. I’m available weekends, weekdays, morning to night based on what is needed for boarding or sitting. I currently have 2 indoor friendly cats. I totally understand if your dog is not used to cats, they have their own area/room where they stay so I’ll make sure they don’t have to interact. Outside I have a large fenced in yard. For walks and check-ins, I will take extra care in keeping your pet secure and safe at all times. I know what it’s like to leave a pet family member in the care of someone else when having to be away. I also know some animals are more needy than others and just want someone there for them during the day.

My animals have always come first.. they eat before I do, every single time. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. Working with animals has taught me patience, situational awareness, & how to understand the quiet, nonverbal ways they communicate. I believe every pet deserves to feel loved, safe, and understood while their family is away. I would be honored to earn your trust, care for your furry family member like my own, and hopefully become their new best friend. This is more than just a “hustle” to me, it’s my passion. 🥰 -I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule to attend to your dog's needs. - My home is completely fenced in - safe for your dog to roam and run around supervised. -Can easily crate or separate the dogs if needed. - Neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly - No kids or cats in my home - Have my A/C on constantly (necessary with the summer heat!) - Usually only book 1 client at a time to ensure I give your dog the best attention.

I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I dont want anything to happen to any of their stuff or their furbaby.
“Tara gave my dog an excellent walk! He came back well exercised and she sent plenty of pictures. I would definitely work with Tara again! She also made time for me on a very last minute appointment. Thank you Tara”
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.
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 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 :)
About: For the last two decades, I have dedicated myself to house sitting and pet care for those closest to me. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle giants and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC. Because I’ve worked with dogs of all different sizes and temperaments, I know how to read their body language, respect their routines, and give them exactly what they need to feel at ease. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I'm available for day or overnights during the week and most weekends. I am very loving and hands on type with pets. We can play in the yard if it's fenced and/or go for walks. I am comfortable to administer medication if needed, as I have cared for many senior foster and my own pets.
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’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!

“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.”

I would love the opportunity to meet your pets and become someone you can trust whenever you need care! 🐶🐱🦎 As the owner of a local pet waste management business “Pawsitive Patrol” I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to truly focus on giving your pets the attention, care, and love they deserve! 🩷 🐈🐕🦜🦎🐟 I have a fenced back deck for your pups to run around and sunbathe at my home. But I also have no problem taking care of your pet at your own home.
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.

“Hugh and Mary are the best! They took such good care of our dog while we were away. I appreciated the communication and photos I received from them, assuring us he was having a great time! I would definitely recommend them and plan on booking them for his next vacation (cuz that’s how it felt, like he was getting a vacation too) They are dog lovers and it showed in how they treated him🥰”
“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.”
“Being new to Rover, we're very glad to have had Rachel as our first dog sitter! She is very responsive, accommodating, and kind. Rachel provided photo updates every day and made us feel at ease while we were out of town and away from Cooper. We'll definitely be coming back to Rachel again in the future!”
“Excellent experience with Jasmine! She treated our furry kid just like her own. Really appreciated the photo updates, and seeing that our girl was happy, comfortable and was enjoying her new friends. We will absolutely be requesting Jasmine the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Dakota was great with our baby girl Gigi! She was patient and really caring! I loved that she sent updates throughout the weekend and lovely pictures. This was Gigis first time without mom and dad and Dakota definitely made her feel right at home. We now have someone we can trust to leave our baby girl with. Thank you so much Dakota 🩷”
“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!”
“Melanie took fantastic care of Bella! She sent updates with pictures and videos. I could see Bella spent quality time with Melanie and her kids and Bella being comfortable with them. Bella came home happy and tired! Highly recommend Melaine!”
“Shane was so helpful and great with my dog. He sent multiple videos to me everyday. He has a backyard where my dog could run around and he sent me videos of him walking my dog too. I highly recommend Shane!”
“Jazmyn took great care of our doggies. She kept us updated on how they were doing. The bonus part having them stay there with her is she has two beautiful friendly doggies. They all had a great time with their new friends. Definitely will have Jazmyn watch them again!!”
“Darlene is hands down the best sitter we’ve found on here! She took such amazing care of our kitty and we could tell he was super well cared for. And she actually sent so many pictures and updates, we had such peace of mind on our vacation. We will absolutely be booking with her again any time we need to!!”
“Sahula, was great.She made me feel very confident when I was leaving my dog Kylie with her. This was the first time I used this service and I was glad I found her, thank you.”
“Lacey was fantastic! She took amazing care of our golden retriever and we look forward to using her services again. We received constant photo updates and she was communicative, reliable and made the entire process so easy. Thank you!”
“Paige was wonderful — she was accommodating with drop off / pick up times, and sent great updates with pictures throughout Laz’s stay. I’d highly recommend her to anyone in the area!!”
“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!”
“Amanda was amazing, she followed every rule I left for my three babies and sent updates while I was away. During this time she made sure to call and ask questions if she was unsure about anything. This was Nala, Simba, and Zoe's first time away from home and I was really on edge but Amanda made the experience comfortable for me and my babies I would definitely use her again. Thank you Amanda for your love of animals and the respect you showed for my babies. You were great! Danette”
“Kara and her husband were wonderful! Quick to respond, sent pictures and videos during the stay, and understanding. My dog looked like he had a blast and still wanted to hang out when I went to pick him up.”
