Doggy Day Care in Fawnskin

“Hugh and Mary are AWESOME. My fiancé and I had anxiety about leaving our little girl, but she was so well taken care of and she had a BLAST. Our Day-Z can a lot of anxiety when she’s not in the best environment, but she didn't have any here! Hugh and Mary were accommodating, communicative, and so welcoming - the ideal doggy sitters. They even gave us some parting gifts! Thank you for the love and the goodies, Hugh and Mary!”

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: I have taken care of many of my friends and family’s pets. Although new to Rover, I am not new to caring for fur babies. I have plenty of time and affection to devote to your beloved fur baby. I genuinely love tending to a variety of pets in need, showering them with care and attention. It's my passion to create a nurturing environment where every pet feels cherished and appreciated! I have a charming little cabin in Sugarloaf, complete with a lovely yard perfect for playtime. My neighborhood is calm and welcoming, making it an ideal place for leisurely walks with your dogs. I can’t wait to share the beauty of this serene environment with you and your furry companions!

About: Hi, I'm Rylee! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, birds, and kittens. With over 10 years of experience caring for pets and more than 5 years of training and pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal care, especially when it comes to dogs. I specialize in dog behavior and body language, including recognizing signs of stress or overstimulation. I’ve trained puppies and have extensive experience with puppy sitting, helping them feel safe, stimulated, and supported as they grow. I’m passionate about giving pets the highest quality of care. I’ve completed multiple courses in dog training, body language, and nutrition to ensure I’m educated when it comes to caring for dogs. I prioritize dogs' well-being with mental and physical stimulation. In addition to dogs, I also have experience caring for cats and kittens. I have a 4-year-old cat and a 4-month-old kitten that I have raised since they were newborns. I provide a safe environment for your cat, and I understand that some cats need their space. Whether you need drop-in visits, overnight staying, or walking, you can be at ease that your pet will be in great, trustworthy hands. I am dedicated to making your pet feel safe, respected, and treated like family. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and provide the thoughtful, attentive care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible! I'm currently looking for a part-time job but in the meantime I have lots of time to care for your pets. In My Home: I will follow your pets same routine like walking and feeding but just in my own home. My house is fairly small so I won't be able to board more than one pet at a time. I have a deck that they can sit outside and sunbathe (with supervision). I will provide them with toys and puzzle games. I have a small dog named Rocky, at first he barks at other dogs but once he gets to know them he enjoys their company. I also have two cats that aren't fond of new visitors so I will keep them separated from your pets. In Your Home: I treat your space with the utmost respect and maintain your pet’s routine so they feel safe and at ease. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and I always clean up after feedings, potty breaks, and playtime. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel confident while you’re away.

“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!”

About: Caring for animals is my calling in life! I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University. As a dedicated veterinary technician and docent for the Big Bear Zoo, I have the privilege of providing exceptional care to a wide range of animals and pets. My commitment to the wellbeing of all animals goes beyond just a job; it's a lifelong passion! I'm currently working full time at an emergency animal hospital off the mountain. However, I work double shifts to allow myself some days off during the week and look forward to making some new furry friends! Caring for pets in a client's home is a responsibility I take very seriously, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away. My approach to in-home pet care includes: Meet and Greet: I begin by meeting with the client and their pet(s) to establish a rapport and understand their specific needs and routines. Feeding and Hydration: I adhere to the provided feeding schedule, ensuring that pets receive the right amount of food and fresh water. Special dietary requirements are noted and followed diligently. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise and playtime are essential for a pet's physical and mental well-being. I engage in activities tailored to the pet's age and energy level, whether it's a spirited game of fetch or a leisurely walk. Medication and Health Monitoring: If the pet requires medication or has specific health needs, I administer treatments as prescribed by the veterinarian. I also monitor their overall health and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Grooming and Cleanliness: Maintaining the pet's cleanliness is a priority. I provide necessary grooming, including brushing, bathing, and litter box cleaning, to ensure they are comfortable and hygienic. Affection and Companionship: Pets often thrive on companionship and affection. I spend quality time with them, offering cuddles, petting, and positive reinforcement to alleviate any separation anxiety. Security and Home Care: I maintain the security of the client's home by ensuring all doors and windows are locked, and I handle any mail or packages. This gives clients peace of mind while they're away. Daily Updates: Regular communication with the client is crucial. I provide daily updates through texts, photos, or videos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being and activities. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained, experienced and prepared for unexpected situations, including medical emergencies. I have contact information for the client's preferred veterinarian and am beyond qualified for basic pet first aid. Respect for Property: I treat the client's home with the utmost respect, leaving it as clean and tidy as I found it. Overall, my goal is to create a stress-free and nurturing environment for pets in the client's home, allowing them to thrive in their familiar surroundings while their owners are away.

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.

“Caesar was awesome with Zeus and really helped put my mind at ease while we went skiing all day. He was responsive and a great sitter. Will rebook and recommend!”

“Very communicative, would definitely take my dogs back here.”

“We are so happy we found Chris on Rover to allow us an opportunity to mountain bike while we were visiting Big Bear with our dog. Our pup is blind and it was reassuring to know she would be looked after carefully. She got to explore the property, snooze in the sunshine, and enjoy couch cuddles. Chris’ pup Mookie was such a well behaved gentleman who was respectful of Sugar’s small size. We won’t hesitate to opt for day care with Chris and neither should you!”

“Kaitlynn met Teddy for the first time and really treated him like she knew him. We were heading on a trip with some friends close by and needed someone to watch or dog for a few hours and we're so glad Kaitlynn was able to watch him and we wouldn't have had a better choice for a sitter. If you are in need of a sitter I highly suggest her :)”

Daniel M.

“Thanks again to Melissa for her great care for Jack. He always comes home happy and healthy.”

“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!”
