We have a beautiful fenced back yard and a cozy warm house and your pet will have the run of it all, beds and couches included. We have a large crate if ever needed. Our home is between Snow Summit and the Village.
Home
Information Hugh & Mary R. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know if your dog has any special needs. We only accept dogs that are friendly with people and other dogs when they are off leash. Don't confuse that if your doggie displays signs of aggression while on leash between other dogs. That is very common, as is a quick growl, saying "give me a few minutes until I get to know you". We need to know your dog's dietary needs.
A typical day
Lots of back and tummy rubs are a daily staple in our home. We have a big 6' fenced back yard that all dogs love to play in. We have 2 doggy doors so your pup can go in and out as they please. Our dogs will teach them how to use them! We carve out a "doggy racetrack" that winds around our back yard when there's lots of snow and the doggies love it! You're welcome to bring your doggies bed, but most of our guests much prefer to sleep with us in our beds.

Retired couple pet lovers.
Pet care experience
Sitting your dog is not a "side hustle" for us as it is for so many. We don't do house-sitting, drop-in visits, door dash, or drive for Uber. We just have a love for all dogs and will never leave your dog alone! On your first visit, you will be invited into our home to see where your doggy will be staying, and then watch your pup meet our dogs in our beautiful back yard. Of course, your welcome to come by anytime to visit or pick your pup up for any dog friendly outings that Big Bear has to offer. We're both retired and have had dogs our whole lives and we want to treat yours as family members. Hugh is a retired Fire Captain/EMT instructor experienced in Dog CPR, and Mary is a retired owner of an air freight forwarding company. We are very close to Snow Summit and the Village!! We'd love to have your doggy join our family!
Reviews

Super nice couple send update pictures very often will definitely rebook next time I need my pup watched!

Great service and professional. Took great care of my dog Max. Will be booking again!

They are the best thing happened to my dog while we were out there in Big Bear, i would highly and highly reccomend anyone whos looking for boarding go to them, they will send you daily photos and videos how ur furry friends doing and their behavior with other dogs as well. Thanks again will use it again.

We had such a wonderful experience with Hugh & Mary! They were absolutely phenomenal, and I had zero worries leaving Mowgli in their care. He can sometimes experience separation anxiety, but Hugh & Mary made him feel completely at home from the moment he arrived. They were incredibly responsive, communicative, and thoughtful throughout his stay, sending us regular pupdates and keeping us in the loop. They were also super flexible with timing, which made everything so easy and stress-free. And sending Mowgli home with some goodies was the sweetest touch! 🐾❤️ I highly recommend Hugh & Mary to anyone looking for wonderful, trustworthy pet sitters. We’ll absolutely be using their services again next time we're in Big Bear!
