“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!”
“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”
“Edith was fantastic!! We left our 16 year old dog with her for a week and were super nervous because we were hundreds of miles away, but Edith gave us so much peace of mind and constantly sent us updates with pictures and videos! Our little dog looked so content and spoiled! I would highly recommend trusting your pets with Edith! Thank you so much!”
“My dogs are always happy to see Caesar. Leaping out of the car when we pull up. I have a 15 year old Staffie mix and an 8 month old puppy that he's been watching for the last four to five months. The puppy tangled with another dog recently, but Caesar was on the phone immediately to let me know and doing the things Jack needed to feel better. I would definitely recommend him for your pups”
“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!”
“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.”
“Melanie went above and beyond to care for our doggie. She took care of her a week after having surgery. We trust Melanie with our dog and know she is going to be well taken care of.”
About: I’ve taken care of my pets for the last 25 years. And volunteered with k9connection, a non-profit organization to help at-risk teenagers train dogs for rehoming. I am a psychotherapist and work from home. Other than daily errands and the occasional evening out I am here almost all of the time. I have a dog-door from my bedroom that leads to a fenced-in 10’x12’ area and a 3000 sq. ft. corral with a covered horse shelter.
“Heather was an amazing sitter for our Chubbs. She made sure he was treated like part of her family. She made necessary adjustments if she saw he wasn’t sleeping or eating to his liking. Very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updated us often. I would absolutely use Heather again and recommend her.”
“My dogs loved hanging out at Shawna’s! We were in town visiting from the east coast for a friend’s wedding. Shawna helped me out by watching Maeby and Merle overnight while I was attending the wedding. It was their first ever sleepover without me, so I was a little nervous. Shawna made me feel at ease by discussing expectations before the trip. Once I dropped the dogs off at Shawna’s I knew they were in great hands! Her space is so dog friendly and spacious. She updated us with videos and photos and even gave us the cutest hand written doggy report card afterwards! I would definitely bring my dogs there again next time I am in town! Thanks again Shawna :)”
“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! :)”
“Alice was amazing. We left our 3 dogs in her care for a week while on a cross country trip. Her home is perfectly set up to keep animals safe and we felt completely comfortable with her.”
“Rachel was attentive, loving and made my two dogs feel at home. She communicated with me throughout the week to put my mind at ease. I will use her again without hesitation when I need a dog sitter. Lovely home and family that all pitch in the care for the fur babies.”
“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.”
“Johna took great care of my little fur baby for 4 days. She sent photo updates throughout the day which made me feel so reassured. I will 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. 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.
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.
“Felice is such a wonderful boarder. She genuinely cares about the animals placed in her care. My Huskey, Balto, who has separation anxiety, loves going to spend time with Felice. She has a real love for the pets she cares for and my Huskey Balto knows it. He does so well every time he stays with Felice, and when he's happy that makes me happy too.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlands
Wow! Patricia and Rick are clearly dog lovers and good big-hearted people. Their home and backyard are welcoming and lovely. Moreover, Scout (my 21-month-old, 48-pound pup) instantly connected with Patricia during the meet and greet. Even better, after Scout’s first sleepover, I noted that she was fond of Rick and Holly as well (Holly is Patricia’s and Rick’s fur-baby). During the meet and greet, Holly was a bit standoffish, but when she greeted Scout for the first sleep-over, Holly’s tail was wagging, and she eagerly ushered Scout into the house. Patricia took Scout and Holly on a hike and sent pictures of their outing (Patricia kept Scout on leash). I felt so secure knowing that my baby girl was loved, well-cared for, safe, and having fun with Patricia, Rick, and Holly. So … I just booked Scout’s next stay at her new home away from home. Thank you, Patricia, for choosing to become a Rover sitter!
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. 🥰

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Woodlands is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 364 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Woodlands. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
97% of sitters in Woodlands 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 Woodlands 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 Woodlands.
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 Woodlands. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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 Woodlands 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.
