Pet Sitting in Lake Arrowhead

“Lynnette is a lifesaver to me. I urgently needed a sitter for Vika. When we first met, Lynnette looked very calm, kind and loving. It seems she has so much experience with dogs and can do her job easily! She took great care of Vika. I am definitely coming back to Lynnette whenever I need a sitter for my dog!”

About: I offer patient, personalized care with experience in senior pet support, and shy or anxious animals. I treat every pet like family, with love, structure, and attention to detail. I am self-employed, and my schedule is open. I prefer to schedule walks from 7am. I live in Lake Arrowhead, and am open to Crestline to Running Springs. I treat them as members of my family. I believe that all animals should be treated with respect and recognized as individuals. Getting to know your dog is half of the fun for me!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 4 years old, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. My own dog is now a senior, and through the years I’ve learned how to provide him with specialized care, patience, and attention to his changing needs. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, and giving plenty of love to pets at every stage of life. I also volunteer at Friends of Upland Animal Shelter, where I care for both dogs and cats, gaining valuable experience with different temperaments and needs. Your pets will be in caring, capable hands with me! I’m currently working a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet sitting. For the next 3 months, my schedule is open and consistent, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. Whether you need daily visits, walks, or extended care, I’ll be available to fit your pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines to ensure they feel secure and happy while you’re away. I closely follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and provide plenty of supervised play and affection. On walks, I use secure leashes and stay alert to surroundings to keep your pets safe at all times. I also make sure their environment stays clean, calm, and stress-free, whether we’re indoors or outside. You can trust that your pets will be cared for with patience, responsibility, and lots of love.

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.

“Kristy was a fantastic sitter for my cat Hal! She sent photos every day and stopped by around the same time. Hal seemed very at home with her while I was away!”

“Chad and Francesca i’ve done quite a few droppings at my home. At the time I had three dogs and they are quite messy. Sharon and Francesca are very good about replacing the potty pads and cleaning up any messes. They take the dogs out for walks, show up on time. And are very good at corresponding with me about them and sending pictures. It makes me feel good to know that my dogs are well taken care of while I’m gone. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.”

“Elma is such a dream! Our dog Stevie just adores her and she is so communicative and lovely. I am sure Stevie will be disappointed to see us walk through the door instead of her 😉”

“I feel so blessed to have found Ivy. She was always on time, took care of my chickens exactly how I would, and I can tell she has a beautiful and kind heart. She went above & beyond and put my worries to rest. I wish I could give 10 stars. I highly recommend her and cannot give enough praise. Thank you Ivy! ❤️”

“Kenzie was phenomenal. She was always on time, communicative and very gentle taking care of Josie. Kenzie provided great updates per visit as well as photos each time. Would absolutely book her again and recommend to anyone else in the Lake Arrowhead area.”

About: I’m a dog mom of two chihuahuas, although I love cats as well! I’ve had my first fur baby since I was 11, the other I adopted a little over a year ago. I love taking them on adventures, pampering them, & of course giving them all the love! I can assure you, your fur babies are safe with me. I only work weekends, I have a very open schedule. Which means I have plenty of time to care for & play with your pets. I am available for pet sitting Sunday-Friday at 2pm. (on Friday’s I work night shift) I am very attentive & will make sure any needs will be met for your fur baby! I’m very good at following instructions. I look forward to pet sitting for you:)

“Sarah worked with our schedule changes without issue. She arrived at the times agreed upon. She took care of all the fur babies in the house. She stayed and spent time with them even though we only asked her to make sure the food and water dishes were full. I did appreciate the photos provided.”

About: I have lived and taken care of dogs of all sizes since the age of 8. I specifically prefer working with bigger breeds and love to teach and reinforce training for animals. I can sit out in the yard playing for hours if need be and am passionate in caring for dogs and making them relaxed around me. Currently able to take dogs 24/7 as of further notice. All day and night it doesnt matter to me, I do have the ability to do so. I have a fenced in grass yard, a variety of toys that I clean after another dog uses them. I am patient, understanding some dogs are super excitable. I will respect the wishes of the owner, for example if they have a training regiment I gladly will take care to enforce it to keep the dog regular with the tricks.

“Karissa did a great job checking in on my cats even the day after a snow storm! Karissa came in clutch, and I really, really appreciate it!!”

“Dawn was fantastic! We could see when she came and went (on our front door security camera) and we know Parker was well taken care of. She spent time with him during her evening visits and sent us lots of pictures. We're hoping to use Dawn anytime we leave town and he can't come with us.”
