Doggy Day Care in Heart Bar Campground

“Uno had so much fun and we enjoyed many pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease when we were separated. Hugh and Mary are dog lovers through and through and we felt so comfortable leaving our fur child with them. We hope to bring her back next time we hit the slopes.”

About: About Me: Animals are my life’s work. My background is unique: I spent 20 years as a commercial airline pilot, a career built on extreme reliability, safety protocols, and being dependable under pressure. I bring that same disciplined "cool head" to pet sitting. Whether I’m managing a pack on a mountain trail, caring for a senior dog, or tending to a barn, your animals’ safety and your peace of mind are my priorities.R Rehab, Healing & Holistic Expertise: For over 15 years, I have specialized in rehabbing dogs with behavioral challenges. My approach is a blend of structured positive reinforcement and intuitive energy work: Behavioral Rehab: I have extensive experience with "difficult" cases, rescues, and high-needs temperaments. Energy Work & Reiki: I am trained in Animal Reiki and Emotion Code. This allows me to help animals release trapped emotions and settle into a calm, balanced state—perfect for anxious travelers or rescues with a traumatic past. All Species, All Breeds – No Discrimination I welcome all animals regardless of breed, size, or status. I am comfortable with "power breeds," giant breeds, and intact dogs, provided they are social and well-mannered and trained. The "Adventure" Standard: For my canine guests, we go on at least one long hike or intensive walk daily, often including outings to the lake and local trails. Farm & Livestock Care: Having run a farm animal rescue, I am experienced with horses, goats, sheep, cows, pigs, and poultry. I am happy to provide farm-sitting services for those who need a caregiver who truly understands livestock. Why My Experience Matters From the cockpit to the farm, I’ve spent my life being the person people count on. Whether your animal needs a high-energy mountain guide, a calm healing presence, or a knowledgeable farm hand, I have the experience and the heart to provide it. Feel free to ask me for a multi-animal discount! I am home full time dedicating my life to my animals. We typically head out for our long walk or hike in the morning after which everyone is having their meal. The exercise in the morning ensures a calm and happy pack for the rest of the day. My property is fully fenced in and dividable into three sections: Front yard, porch and backyard. The animals are my priority and are typically never left alone.

“This was our first sitting experience and it went so well. Jessica was very responsive and let us know our nervous girl was content and sent us a picture of her laying on the couch. Our girls were happy when we picked them up. I would rebook with her again. We had a last minute request for a later pick up and Jessica had no issue keeping them a little longer.”

“Moriah provides outstanding doggy daycare! Her property is expansive, allowing dogs to be able to run and play in the safety of a well fenced yard. My fur babies got to play with several other dogs in a large yard in safety. She and her family supervise all the dog play both inside her home and out. We look forward to having Moriah provise doggy daycare again. Highly recommended!”

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: Hi! My name is Persia. (My profile information says I have 4 pets- I do, but live with none of them currently. So your pet will have my full attention). I have been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for pets. I currently have two small dogs back home- a 4-year-old Chihuahua and a 4-year-old French Bulldog—as well as two cats. I make sure all pets’ needs are met through daily feeding, walks, playtime, attention, and affection. I am patient, gentle, and dedicated to making small dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Hi! I am a college student back home in California for the summer. I am an animal lover in need of something to keep me busy over the summer, so this is what i chose to do! Spend time with animals and care, as i am very experienced and have grown up having pet animals. I am very experienced with pets, knowing the risks they take (running off, eating random twigs on the floor), so I will be a very attentive sitter. Your pet will not be lonely or left unattended by me! He/she can walk safely with me and be safe in my home. My yard is the largest in the city, and i have a dog play pen. They can run around in the dog pen! My house is also a free range for your pet.

“Johna made our trip to Joshua Tree so much fun!! It was awesome to be able to go hiking while knowing our two dogs were well taken care of. She is such a kind and caring person, and showed our dogs so much love. She figured out exactly what they liked, and ended up giving our puppy her favorite toy at the end of our trip. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
