Doggy Day Care in Big Bear Lake

“Hugh and Mary were great! They sent us a load of photos, played with our pup, and genuinely care! We plan on rebooking with them the next time we visit Big Bear!”

“Jessica was very friendly and easy to communicate with! We are visiting for the week from Arizona and wanted a place for our pups for a few hours while we did some activities at the lake. My dogs were nervous at first as it was a new place, but Jessica sent lots of updates and pictures letting me know they settled in just fine, even making friends with Jessica’s dog! Will be using her again in a few days during our stay!”

“Mikayla was great with my two cats! She was attentive, communicative and flexible. I really appreciate her taking up this last minute booking - she was a great host and my pets loved her!”

About: Your dog(s) will be treated as part of the family. They will be inside, but able to go play in the back yard, any time they want. We have a gentle husky. He is kind to both large and small dogs. They will have fun together. You can go enjoy your day, and know your dog will too! I’ve had large dogs my whole life, and feel comfortable with all breeds. My dog is my baby, so I understand how much yours means to you. After working 32 years as a paramedic, I’m now retired. With the exception of a short errand, I will be home at all times. My schedule is very flexible to help you enjoy your time. In our home, all dogs will be inside. They can go outside into a fenced back yard, any time they want to. There is also a heated dog run in the back yard. You can go enjoy your day, knowing your dog is happy and safe.

“My husband and I love BB and we love to take our dogs but there are times you can’t and that’s where Ceasar comes in. I came across him in Rover and read all his review, called him and we spoke for about 45 min( lol we both can talk) He made us feel very comfortable. We dropped the dogs off and normally our Goldendoodle barks like crazy, he barked at Ceasar once and then went with him. I picked up my dogs everyone was happy, and we now have a dog sitter every time we come to BB. Thank you Ceasar you’re the best Chuck and Dayna Moore”

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’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I loved spending sweet, slow afternoons with my last dog when she grew older — but also had a blast training my current American Dingo mix, Denali, from 8 weeks old. Over the years, I’ve build a strong understanding of dog behavior and body language. Building trust comes naturally to me, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Each pup is different — which is what makes them so lovable and fun! Working from home means I’m flexible year-round for both Big Bear locals and visitors. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a quick drop-in, or some love and attention while you work or hit the slopes — I’ve got you covered. Can’t wait to meet your sweet pup! I’m a work-from-home solopreneur, which means I make my own hours and have fully flexible availability. I also live in Big Bear year-round, so I’ll be able to care for your dog in any season. Whether your dog needs a quick check-in while you work during the week, a fun adventure while you go skiing in the winter, or some love and attention while you’re out of town — I’m here to help! I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and play. My own dog is a bit wary of new humans, but LOVES to make new dog friends and play. If needed, I’m always open to meet-and-greets to introduce our dogs before they visit. I’m also familiar with all the dog-friendly spaces and trails in Big Bear and can spoil your pup with an adventure they’ll love. And if you’d rather let your dog stay at home where they feel most comfortable, I’m happy to visit and keep them company while you’re away. Whatever works for you and gives you peace of mind!

“Friendly and welcoming”

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.

“Annie and Sunny made our Yoshi feel comfortable right away. In less than 15 minutes, she sent me a picture an adorable picture of Yoshi hanging out with Sunny. Yoshi was happier coming home and then going in, which told me he had a fun time there. Thank you Annie!”

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!

“Teri was so flexible, communicative and genuine. I left my dog for the day while I went boating with friends, and I was at peace after seeing how loving and playful Teri was when I dropped him off. She went the extra mile by having doggie treats, and water and food bowls ready, and sent us off with a little gift. If you’re in the Big Bear area and need a loving and accommodating sitter, reach out t Teri!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and many other animals since I was a kid. My family loves to be outdoors and the dogs tag along most days! Our pets are family. I’m a stay at home mom with many pet animals. I enjoy caring for animals and making your pet feel loved while you are away. I have a fenced yard and dogs are allowed inside with us. I have three dogs, three cats and chickens(they are kept separate) we are animal lovers and have plenty of time for exercise, play and cuddles.

About: This isn’t just a business, it’s also a big family! I am super excited to meet you guys hehehehe!!!! 🥺🥰💞 I plan to become a veterinary surgeon or cardiac surgeon and subsequently I have a huge passion for helping animals and people. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and other species for over 14 years. And thus far, everyone has described their experience with me as comfortable, convenient, reliable and fun! I’m looking forward to not only meeting you but also becoming very close. I absolutely love what I do which is why I am fully committed to pet sitting full time. Woohoo there’s nothing more liberating and fulfilling than doing what you love! My care depends on each clients preference. I think this is important because some people have strict pet rules in their home and I wouldn’t want to turn your pet into a troublemaker when they return home. I personally don’t have any strict rules at all, but I will do my best to follow any specific instructions that you give me!

“Mallory took care of our crazy one really well with a lot of attention and love ❤️ Thank you! ?”
