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.

About: Hi! 🐶 My name is Chloe, and I come from a family of dog and cat lovers. I have a lifelong love for animals and a dream of one day owning or working for a wildlife rehabilitation center. I want to give you peace of mind by ensuring that your fur baby's needs are met with care and compassion every time that you are away. If you own birds, reptiles, insects, or small mammals I'd be more than happy to care for them as well! -Volunteer experience - Big Bear Alpine Zoo, Big Bear, CA HALO Animal Rescue, Glendale, AZ I'm currently in between jobs and have full availability until further notice. 😊 My partner and I share a car for now, so that is the only thing I may need to work around. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I monitor pets closely, keep doors and gates secured, and only use leashes outdoors. I follow all owner instructions regarding diet, medication, and routines. I maintain a clean environment with access to fresh water and a quiet resting area. I will never bring pets into crowded or unsafe environments. I respect my clients’ homes and privacy when providing in-home care. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos throughout the stay or visit.

“Caesar is so knowledgeable and patient with my Mastiff and Boston terrier. My mastiff is not typically comfortable with men and Caesar has been working with him, taking him on walks and after a couple of visits their total pals! Caesar knows a lot about dog psychology and has helped me a lot with how I work with my dogs. I highly recommend using Caesar for all of your pet sitting services.”

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs my whole life! Neighbors could always count on me when they went out of town to feed, watch over and take care of their dogs. I do accept same day bookings but I can’t always accept depending on my schedule. I work part time, so whenever I have a free time I try and find side gigs. And I love animals My dogs are apart of our family. They are well behaved so of course we would like to hang out with your dog! I have 2 dogs of my own. They are friendly and have a feeding routine. And both are potty trained. We don’t have a fenced in yard but we have a deck and they still are able to go outside and play when supervised.

About: Hello! My name is Taylor, and I am an animal lover with 15 years of experience caring for my own cats and dogs. I have been walking dogs professionally for about 3 years. I'm offering all services available through Rover (walking, stop-ins, overnight sitting, etc.) to help you and your fur babies! Thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I hope to be seeing you and your pup as soon as possible. :) My work is flexible and remote, so I am available at any time. I can provide all Rover services weekends and weekdays, day and night. I have a fenced patio for fresh air, and an unfenced yard in front of my apartment for relief and play. My senior dog, Bronson, loves to make friends and welcomes company.

“Excellent dog walker! Thank you Ryan”

About: After years of caring for all my friends pets when they go out of town I decided to give this a try! I love all animals and now that I work part time at home I am always available. I am a very active person and love the outdoors so I have no problem spending time outside with your pet. Living in Big Bear there are plenty of trails and dog parks available to visit within walking distance of our home. We also have a doggy door and a fenced in backyard. We do not have pets of our own but look forward to meeting and caring for yours! I know leaving pets can be stressful but rest assured your pet will be happy and cared for.

About: Since I was born there was always a dog in the house. I have grown up with dogs wether they were mine or my other relatives. I have grown such love for not only dogs but other animals as well. I have had bunnies to hamsters to fishes all throughout my life! I just recently moved to the area and while I search for employment, I would love to walk your dogs🥰 I love animals so I thought this would be perfect for me! I do not currently plan to house others animals at my home because I do have two fur babies of my own. I do have a full backyard that is all fenced it though.

“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 :)”

“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: Dogs of all sizes and personalities are welcome here—I truly love them all. What makes my care unique is the environment I provide: a fully fenced ½ acre yard with multiple play areas for fetch, running, and exploring. We’re just a short walk from both the village and the lake, which means your dog can enjoy safe, scenic adventures every day. Inside, pups are treated like family with full furniture privileges—whether they want to curl up on the couch, stretch out on the rug, or join me on the wrap-around deck for fresh air and sun. I believe in letting dogs live their best life, both indoors and outdoors. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special needs pets, so I can adapt care to match your dog’s stage of life—whether that means extra patience with potty training, gentle support for mobility, or a little extra playtime to burn off puppy energy. My approach is always loving, consistent, and safety-first. Your dog won’t just be supervised—they’ll be engaged, cared for, and made to feel at home. Pet care isn’t something I “fit in” around other tasks—it’s my top priority. From the moment your dog arrives, they will be treated like family. I structure my day around feeding times, play sessions, walks, and rest, making sure every dog has the attention and care they deserve. Whether that means extra belly rubs, sticking to a familiar routine, or paying close attention to their unique needs and behaviors. I’m always tuned in to the little things: how much water they’re drinking, how energetic they seem, or if they just need some quiet cuddle time. Because I live in a dog-friendly environment with a large fenced yard and plenty of outdoor space, it’s natural for me to build in multiple exercise and play breaks throughout the day. I’m also flexible, so I can match your dog’s routine as closely as possible to what they’re used to at home. In short, pet care isn’t just part of my schedule—it is my schedule. Your pup’s happiness and comfort are always at the center of my day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. I provide a secure, fully fenced ½ acre yard where dogs can run, play, and explore without worry. The space is divided into multiple play areas, so I can tailor the environment depending on a dog’s size, age, or energy level. Whether it’s a high-energy game of fetch or a quiet sniffing stroll, every pup has a safe place to enjoy themselves. Inside my home, dogs are treated like family with supervised free roam and furniture privileges—no being tucked away or left alone for long stretches. The wraparound deck allows for safe outdoor lounging and plenty of fresh air, while still keeping pups secure. I build trust by maintaining a calm, attentive presence. I carefully monitor interactions, body language, and energy levels to ensure every dog feels comfortable. For puppies, seniors, or dogs with special needs, I adjust activities and rest times to meet their unique requirements. With me, your dog will be in an environment designed to help them thrive, relax, and feel at home.

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!

“Tara gave my dog an excellent walk! He came back well exercised and she sent plenty of pictures. I would definitely work with Tara again! She also made time for me on a very last minute appointment. Thank you Tara”
