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 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.

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 work part time, so whenever I have a free time I try and find side gigs helping the people in the wood streets area. I don't do pet care in my home, but I'm more than willing and available to help in the clients home if needed for play dates or baths.

“Brooke was very caring and wonderful with my pups and taking the time to earn their trust in addition to taking the extra time to make sure they got their walks every day. Highly recommend 🙂”
“Sarah is an incredibly reliable and enthusiastic sitter! She is very dog savvy and very flexible working with changing schedules/care plans. My 11wk old puppy loves having her around, and I am able to have peace of mind throughout the day knowing he's getting plenty loving attention--esp with all the awesome photos AND videos! What a super caretaker.”
“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!”
“Our dog is a rescue, and is wary of new people. Katie had an intuitive understanding of Echo’s needs and made friends with her in record time! She also otherwise took excellent care of Echo. We’re admittedly nervous dog parents, and Katie kept us in the loop with updates, photos, and amusing videos. Highly recommended! We will definitely try to book Katie the next time we travel!”
“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!”
“Abby is a wonderful pet sitter! She was very responsive, caring, and flexible. We loved getting photos of Coda and knowing that she was well taken care of. We highly recommend Abigale!”
About: After many years of asking my dream came true of owning a dog. My first dog, Summer, was an Australian Shepard x Heeler, and boy was she sassy. At the age of 12, I thought I was a dog trainer, and Summer was my first subject. Over the years, Summer and I locally competed and trained in dog agility. Summer inspired me to love dogs, to care deeply, and fall in love with their intelligence and joy for everything. I would be happy to care for your canine companion with this same intention! I am currently on summer break from teaching elementary-aged students, thus I have plenty of time to care for animals. Please let me know how I can fit in with your schedule. I am naturally cautious, especially when it comes to caring for others. I have spent many years baby-sitting, and approach animal care with a similar mentality. That mentality being to be safe, patient, and kind.
“Rachel did wonderful job and took great care of our two boys, one being a large Labrador and one being a poodle. The two absolutely loved her and you can see them so happy in the photos she sent. We are so grateful to have found someone so responsible and caring for our pets. Our poodle takes meds and it was no problem for her to administer them. She cared for them as if they were her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Rebecca B.
“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 :)”
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.”
Jennifer D.
“We have used Jennifer on 2 different vacations, 3 overnight stays on each vacation. Our dog Gus is a rescue and sometimes gets nervous but he took to her right away. She followed his routine, walked him regularly…fed him all his favorites…he came back a happy guy. She even sent us pictures each day. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for sure. Gini D”
Taylor G.
“I have had Taylor care for my 2 cats and dog on several occasions. She is extremely reliable and responsive. My pets are always happy to see her and I know they are in wonderful hands when I’m away. Not only is Taylor caring but she goes above and beyond to do the little extras to be sure my guys are comfy and safe. A+ recommendation here!”

Ismara G.
“If you are considering hiring a pet sitter I would give Ismara G. my highest recommendation. ismara is prompt and courteous with both owners and pets. She has an excellent work history in the “animal field” and her own ownership of several pets speaks to her love of animals. It is such a relief to know Ismara was caring for our pets, in our own home. She understands that they are our babies, our kids, and treats them as such. My vacation was much more enjoyable knowing that my pets were receiving Ismara’s loving kindness. Ismara has established a business that will thrive once the word spreads. She runs her business with professionalism, integrity and high quality standards. Without a doubt she has become a business that I will frequent with regularity. (The dogs say her husband makes delicious doggie cookies too!) -Enedina G.”
