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.
“Amanda has been wonderful with my mom’s dog, Freddie. Also she has been extremely flexible with my requests which has been a lifesaver with my mom being in the hospital and now in board and care. I highly recommend Amanda for your furry friends.”

“Excellent experience overall. Paula was great with our dog. She gave us regular updates and even took him for a walk. That's above and beyond in my book and earned her a tip and a first call whenever we need a sitter again.”
“Rachael was recommended to us by our friends. She is seriously the best! We never left our dog alone for more than a few hours. We were a little nervous leaving him but once we met Rachel she eased our minds. I received pictures daily with an update on how our pup was doing. Our dog seriously did not miss us one bit! Once we picked him up my dog was done for the whole night. He was even asleep with his tongue sticking out from how tired he was. And that's hard to do. You can tell Rachael is amazing and loving. Definitely only going to her from now on. Thank you Rachael!!!!”
“Phyllis was an amazing sitter for Trixie and Ginger! She had great communication from start to finish, keeping me updated and making the whole process seamless.

Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”

“Karyn has been such a wonderful sitter for our two pups! We’re sadly moving away and will really miss the ease and comfort of having Karyn nearby.

“I have had the good fortune of finding Rebecca to pet sit for me on several occasions. It is difficult to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats. The dogs are a handful because we have two Shepards and a Chihuahua. They are young and rambunctious. She has taken care of them when I’ve had to go out of town for weeks at a time. It’s nice not to have to worry about them when I’m gone. She has always taken excellent care of them. Not only does she feed them and take them out for walks, she plays with them too. They are always happy to see her. She is reliable and responsible. I wouldn’t use anyone else and highly recommend her :)”
