About: Hi, I’m Ismara! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m based in Big Bear and the Coachella Valley, and I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving when it comes to your pets. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, elderly, or has special care instructions, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also the proud co-owner of Pawsitive Patrol LLC, a local pet waste management business. Pet care is a part of my everyday life, and my experience has taught me the importance of responsibility, cleanliness, reliability, and paying attention to the little details that keep pets happy and healthy. A little about what I offer: 🐾 20+ years of hands-on pet care experience 🐾 Loving, individualized attention for every pet 🐾 Experience with feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special requests 🐾 Comfortable caring for pets in your home or mine 🐾 A secure fenced deck at my home for safe outdoor time, sunbathing, and play I also have experience caring for reptiles and amphibians and have some of my own! I absolutely love unique animals and would be excited to care for your scaly, feathered, or unusual family members too. From reptiles and birds to chickens and other special pets, I think every animal deserves the same patience, attention, and love. As a small business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to truly focus on the pets in my care. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment because I understand that your pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. 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.

They eat before I do. Their happiness, safety & comfort are the first things on my mind, & when your baby is in my care, they become part of that same love <3 & I truly understand they’re not “just pets” - They are family. They know your footsteps. They find you when you’re sad. They understand silently, better than most. I understand why leaving them with someone takes so much trust & faith. That’s why I care about the little things. Whether they’ve eaten, whether they’re comfortable, whether they need to burn off some energy or just have someone sit beside them. Working with animals has taught me how to listen to the things they can’t say out loud. I would be honored to earn your trust. I want them to have someone who notices, who understands & somewhere they can rest easy ☺️ -I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule to attend to your dog's needs. -My mother stays with me, 4 eyes - instead of 2:) - My home is completely fenced in - safe for your dog to roam and run around supervised. -Back Door Screen is always open so they can go in and out when they please. -Can easily crate or separate the dogs if needed. - Neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly -Ac/heat on 24/7 for your babies ensured comfortability. I have a fully fenced yard, and two very friendly dogs. If needed, my pups definitely can be separated in a different section of the house, or crated. I have always put full dedication to keeping an eye on your pups constantly:) In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I don’t want anything to happen to any of their stuff, or their furbaby.

About: I taken care when I was very young even taking care of ill/sick animals. I'll nurse them back to health when vets couldn't do it. I bottle feed and take them to the restroom when they are babies. I been taking care since 10 years old. I'm very open with my schedule and love to be around animals. I work from home working as a editor and have lots of free time. I have a gate area for all animals. I always have them on a leash and make sure we walk in the morning or evening. It's too hot for their paws if you have booties for them even great. Always have water on me and poop bags. I never have anything laying around for them to eat or play with. I'm always outside with them when need to go potty and play.
About: I don't just care for pets as a job, animals have been a core part of my life. I have personally owned both dogs and cats, giving me years of firsthand, real-world experience. I deeply understand the unique dynamics of both species, from reading a dog's body language on a long walk to respecting a cat’s independent boundaries.Because I have raised and cared for my own animals, I know the exact level of trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I treat every client's pet with the same patience, safety-first mindset, and individualized care that I gave my own. I am currently a college student and am not working a traditional job. This means my schedule is highly flexible and structured around my classes! Because I balance my time between my studies and my passion for animals, I can offer your pets consistent, reliable care. This setup allows me to easily accommodate midday walks, extended playtime sessions, and dedicated check-ins without the rush of a typical 9-to-5 workday. I'll be walking dogs but I'll be sure that they get adequate food and water before , during and after walks so that your pet stays happy and healthy

I also have cared for dogs with diabetes, who were blind, and have cerebral palsy. I work full time (Mon -Fri) in the lower dessert, live in JT. I’m home around 4/4:30pm each day. Of course your baby will be the first one that I see once I’m off of work and before I go into work. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I prioritize each animal's well-being and comfort while following your specific instructions. I ensure they receive regular feeding, fresh water, and ample exercise through walks or playtime. I’m attentive to their unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, maintaining a routine, or simply providing companionship. I also keep their environment clean and safe, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets are not just animals; they’re family, and I’ll treat them with the love and care they deserve!
“Mariah was GREAT! She watched our cats while we took a holiday trip this Thanksgiving and she was very attentive, caring, kind, and even sent us photos of our babies while we were gone! It was so reassuring knowing they were in such great hands! She is an animal lover who is currently studying to work with animals as well! We loved her care so much that we booked her for another vacation where we will be out of town! She will treat your pets the way you would treat them, it comes very natural to her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Big Bear City
Madison is the absolute best and has officially become our go-to sitter! She took such great care of both our dog and cat while we were away in Mammoth, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re happy, comfortable, and in such good hands while we’re gone. She’s reliable, communicative, thoughtful, and has truly been a lifesaver for our family. We’re so grateful to have found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat!
Cassidy is absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend a better pet sitter. From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my pup. She cared for her in my home for a full week, checking in twice a day and even staying overnight when needed. Cassidy is thoughtful, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. My pup was happy, well cared for, and honestly a little spoiled with her new routine! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Cassidy is a wonderful, hardworking, and genuinely kind person. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet as if they were her own, don’t hesitate to book her. She is truly exceptional. :)

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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
