About: I have had dogs all my life, I currently have a four year old frenchie who is looking for playmates. We have a big back yard and a doggy door set up. Please do not book if your dog is not fixed. My dog isn’t fixed so two in tact males in the house might not be the best idea. I am home full time so your dog will never be alone. I can pet sit all days of the week, including overnights and weekends. We have multiple doggy doors in our home and our backyard is fenced in. Water will be provided indoors and out doors and we will always leash your pet on our walks.

“This is the second walk. Ryan was available very last minute, super-flexible, and he is so kind that feel immediately at ease knowing Shiloh is in his hands. Will definitely continue contacting him.”

“Brooke was responsive, friendly, and flexible, all of which are super valuable in a dog walker/sitter! Groot had a great time with her and she was able to take care of him on very late notice. On future trips to Big Bear, we’ll definitely be reaching out again :)”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor — a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to ducks, chickens, and even horses. I grew up surrounded by animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your furry (or feathered!) family members. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some cozy company, I care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to share updates and photos while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the love and care they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and I am more than happy to make accommodations for each client based on their needs as well as their pets needs. I always ensure that prior to taking care of someone’s animals that we have an initial conversation of expectations and requirements. I understand the level of trust that is involved when caring for another persons pet and being responsible and respectful in a clients home.

“The first time Sarah and I met. Sarah did a great job, and I will use her again.”

“Ria was wonderful! Communication was quick, booking was easy, and we could tell our doggo got some good exercise on his walk. Ria also left detailed notes and plenty of pics for us and we could tell he was getting plenty of attention. We felt completely comfortable leaving our furry family member in her care and highly recommend her.”

About: I have always been an animal lover. I have a BS degree in Biology with an emphasis in Zoology, and I managed a veterinary clinic for seven years. We currently have a German Shepherd, a Great Dane, and one large fluffy cat who are our furry kids. I am a very compassionate and empathetic person. I have been in social services by trade, and I love connecting and developing relationships with people and have a particular love and connection with animals. Even in my work both Child and Adult Protective Services, I always found myself drawn to protecting and caring for animals as well, to try and be their voice and an advocate. Working with people and pets seems like a natural progression, as it plays to all of my strengths!

“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 had puppies my entire life up until around 2 years ago, and I’ve had cats my whole life. I can provide the best possible care for your baby, just as I do for mine! I currently am waiting to start work, so I am home all day with my kitty and sometimes my neighbors dogs. Since im waiting to start work I would like to make some side money to help pay my bills and this sounds like the perfect way for me to do so. I personally have a cat her name is ash she’s around 3 years old, and she was very shy so i learned a lot of patience with her. I do very well at reading dogs and giving them space or attention that they need, and would love to give your baby a safe space so you can attend to whatever life has going for you, and I love any and all animals anything you need just ask

About: I can love your pet like you do till u get back! Started as shelter volunteer, as a kid, love all animals! Brisk walker, able to groom & understand different animals personalities & will adapt to your pets special needs! Animals gravitate to me, I never met an animal that didn’t warm to me right away! If your pet is shy or afraid o will exert extra effort needed to comfort him/her! I’ve done dog training so if I have a puppy, I can offer that service during their stay! I’ve done dog training, sitting, grooming & walking for over 40 years! Clearly I love animals and your pet will be in competent and safe hands and you can relax knowing that is lovingly handled!

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.

About: I have two anxiety ridden, large street dogs so any behavior problems with your pet I’m sure I’ve seen before. I don’t mind if they are well behaved either all dogs are good dogs to me! I have a break from school so your pets will be safe with me during all your exciting holiday trips. No need to worry about them. I can crate your dog when I leave, section them to a certain part of the house, or leave them be. Whatever you’re comfortable with.

About: We love animals! And we have an extra soft spot for senior dogs. I am located in Big Bear City and will arrange to meet your pet before our first appointment to ensure that they are comfortable with me caring for them. I work part time and am always happy to fit a pup or cat visit into my day. If your animal has a specific time they prefer to visit, just let me know. We are happy to walk your pup or play with them at your residence. Cats will be nuzzled and loved in your safely within your home.

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.

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!
