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!

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!
