About: I have been a dog lover and dog mom all of my adult life. I grew up with different types of dogs, from small to large breed dogs. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years now and have established a beautiful home in Big Bear on a very secure fenced in quarter acre where I am always watching my dogs roam, play and live their best life. I would love to have your dog(s) stay with us and enjoy a playful and fun vacation while you are also doing the same! :) I work remotely from home, I am always home and it is my favorite place to be. I have plenty of time to care and play with your dog(s) and have no problem keeping them entertained and loved. My entire property is a securely fenced property and I have 2 very friendly and loving dogs of my own who will be excited about yours! In the evening, I close the front yard off and we are outside in the backyard which is very private, very secure and is also quite large. I am home all of the time, please let me know any instructions you have with your dog(s), I want to give them the same loving care they are used to from being at home with you.

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.

“Stephanie was great with our special needs dog and parents!”



“Nicole was great! On-time, was very careful to follow feeding instructions, and extremely responsive to any questions or tweaks to instructions. She is a friendly and caring person who will take great care of you precious four-legged family!”


“Katie was so helpful in taking care of our shy cat while we were away on vacation, giving us tons of updates, pictures, and even offering to take out the trash so we had one less throng to do when we got back. So great!”



“Sarah has far exceeded our expectations with our animals and clearly cares about them. Her updates made us feel comfortable with being gone to the extent we extended our trip by two nights (which she immediately agreed to). We cannot recommend Sarah more and now know who our pet sitter will be on future vacations!”


“Melissa was willing to help me out with a last minute request when other plans fell through. I was staying in Sugarloaf for a ski weekend and the person I had lined up to walk my puppy, Alfie, canceled his Sunday walk on Saturday. I reached out to Melissa Saturday afternoon to see if she could help, and she responded almost immediately. During their walk, Alfie was so curious about the smells on the walk that he forgot to go potty. Melissa stayed long enough to make sure that he went. She was awesome. 100% recommend.”


“Randy is awesome! He made a point to come and meet our girls he night before, to make them comfortable. The next day, he arrived on time, took the dogs on a substantial walk, and sent pictures, which was comforting. I would highly recommend Randy and will definitely seek his services next time we are in Big Bear!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs since a very young age. I have a very genuine love for animals and I will do anything to provide a safe, fun, and enriching environment for pets. I also have experience in dealing with older dogs as well as puppies who are full of energy. I’m currently working a part time job so I will be having lots of down time to play with and walk your pups. I’m available pretty much any day of the week. I will feed, walk, and play with your pet according to their normal routine. I will also provide loving attention and socialization, and will keep them company throughout the day.


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.

“Carrie is very professional and friendly, and is great with our dogs. She was on time every day, and even stayed a bit longer to let the dogs have time outside. She sent great pictures every time and was very accommodating to the times that we needed help. Will definitely book 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.

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.

Charles S.
“Charles helps me take care of my daughter’s elderly maltepoo, a precious dog who needs a gentle touch. I am always surprised how secure even little dogs feel with Charles. They cozy up to him, and he quickly becomes their favorite even if other people are in the house. And, I am always surprised how warmly he shows he feels about them. Even the wild burros in Big Bear City seek him out. Such a gentle and competent caretaker.”


Rebecca B.
“Rebecca has been a great dog sitter for our 3 very high energy dogs. She has watched our pups multiple times and they are always very happy to see her when they sense we are going out of town. That is something that has really put us at ease as pet parents when we have to leave our fur-babies behind.”


Ismara G.
“Ismara is an animal lover all around, she’s been a fur mom as long as I’ve known her and that’s over a decade now, from adopting to rescuing she’s welcomed home all different kinds of pups and loves them all equally and cares for them all extremely. Whenever I need an overnight sitter or last minute house call she’s there for my chihuahuas or big boy husky no problem or questions asked. I couldn’t recommend anyone more than I would ismara. Your pets will be looked after like they were her own and they’d be in very communicative, considerate and caring hands.”

I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for sure. Gini D”

Lizzie C.
“We have 2 cats and 1 dog, all high maintenance, and Lizzie has been our go-to petsitter for the last three years. Actually I don't know what we would do without her. We're frequent travelers, and it's such a relief to know she's there when we aren't. She handles walks, feedings, cat boxes, playtime and more than her fair share of accidents (we have pukey cats). Lizzie is great at keeping us informed, and she always makes sure we don't come home to any surprises.”

“As a Rover sitter myself I know when others have a knack for caring for animals. Leah is a good friend and she stepped in to take care of my cats when I had to fly back to MN last minute. Super attentive, hard working and helpful. Highly recommend.”

Brooke was incredible!!! She went above and beyond taking care of our husky, who is a strong and reactive gal. She gave us updates and sent photos and made our first time using Rover a dream. We’re new to the neighborhood and I can’t say enough good things about Brooke and finding someone close to home who cares as much as we do.

Mallory was the best!! She made sure I knew my dogs were well taken care of and they loved her!! Will definitely be using her help again when we need it next!
