“So glad Janeece was available to care for Indy! He can be a nervous fella on first visits but he was calm and at ease since the vibe was very caring! Highly recommend for all of your precious pals!”
“Fantastic dog sitters and dog lovers. We could tell our dog Raya was super connected with Patricia and Rick, and super well taken care of with lots of walks and snuggles. They really cared about her as their own and shared heaps of pictures throughout the short stay. We also appreciated that it was a last minute booking and they were able to take Raya in. If you’re in Big Bear and need a sitter, please check this beautiful family’s availability!”

About: ✨ A little name note: My profile says Leslie, but everyone calls me Nicky! My home has a backyard and a designated dog run, giving dogs a safe space to get outside, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I’ll treat your pet like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m very outdoorsy, so if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d love to take them along! Depending on their needs and your preferences, I can offer neighborhood walks, lake walks, hikes, and other outdoor activities. Of course, I’m just as happy caring for a pup who prefers relaxing at home and getting lots of attention. I have a 5 1/2 year old son that would love to give your pup some extra love if that is something you and your pup are okay with. If not, that’s totally okay and I can keep them separated. As far as the pets on furniture- we usually do not allow that. However, if you have a pet that is more comfortable and request it, I can make an exception. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and companionship while they’re with me! They’ll have lots of interaction, plenty of opportunities to enjoy our backyard and dog run, and lots of time to play or relax. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel happy, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I have a fully fenced yard and a designated dog run, giving your dog plenty of secure outdoor space to play, exercise, and relax. We do NOT have any pets at home, so your pet will not have to share a space and it’s safety, comfort, and individual needs will always come first.
“We had a great experience with Lacey! My dogs loved being with her and her pack and they came back very happy and very tired :p The property is adapted for the dog needs. Lacey is very flexible and adjustable with the schedule. And she took us with a very short notice. We will use her every time we are in the area.”
“Melissa was the absolute best. She took the best care of Kevin and went above and beyond to help me with logistics. Certainly our best experience on Rover so far. Thank you!”
“Heather was awesome! My dog looked very happy the moment he arrived and when get got back he was tired from all the attention and activities he got to do! It was a safe and healthy environment that I would definitely recommend!”
“Katherine was excellent. She regularly texted me pictures of my dog and she looked happy! When I picked her up, my little dog wasn’t overly excited to leave, she was calm, which I think was because she was comfortable at Katherine’s house. We also got a parting gift, a framed picture of my little dog, so cute!”
“We honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience! She is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she has been so caring, attentive, and thoughtful with our babies. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands while we’re away. She keeps us updated, follows their routine, and you can truly tell how much she cares about them. Seeing how comfortable and happy Lucas and Maui are with her means everything to us. We are so grateful for all the love and care she gives them. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our babies.”
“Edith was wonderful! The boarding request was last minute and she graciously accepted the booking. Lucy was well cared for during her stay. Edith even washed Lucy’s bed before I picked her up. Thank you!”

“I highly recommend booking Madison. She was so easy to communicate with and made me feel at ease from the start.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Savannah! She took great care of my Yorkie and treated him like he was her own. She was reliable, caring, and made sure he was comfortable and happy while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again!”
“Janeece is one of the kindest sitters we’ve ever had. She is very thorough - asks a lot of (good) questions and wants to know everything about our dogs; this makes us feel secure and helps us to trust that our furbabies are in the best care. Our dogs fell in love with Janeece and her comfortable home quickly! She sent us lots of updates with photos and videos which were great. We look forward to booking with her again!”
About: I can’t imagine living a life without being a dog mom. I’ve had dogs since my childhood and practically my entire adult life. I’ve had heartbreak from losing them because they were so loved.

He kept me informed on Remingtons stay throughout the day with photos and messaging. Remy was delivered back to me in high spirits and tail wagging. I'll book Caesar anytime I'm back in Big Bear!”

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.

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.

Every place is available for the pups with beds, cool pads, pillows, etc. backyard and the pools is gated off. My dog was overwhelmed though as there were more dogs then he is used to. He liked Heather I could tell. She is very attentive and asks the right questions in order to provide the best care for your pup”

About: I’ll love your pets as deeply as I love my own🐶💕 •Lifelong dog owner, with experience as a trainer, wrangler, pet sitter, foster, & caregiver. Worked in dog boarding facilities & with private pet owners, while volunteering at shelters, rescues, ranches, and stables. • Home 24/7 – Your pet will always be in my care and never left wondering where I am. • Single story home with a secure yard for safe play and relaxation. • Two friendly dogs of my own who love making new friends & can provide great companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. (can be definitely separated, if needed) • Experienced with animals of all sizes, ages, personalities, puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. My animals have always come first.. they eat before I do, every single time. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. Working with animals has taught me patience, situational awareness, & how to understand the quiet, nonverbal ways they communicate. I believe every pet deserves to feel loved, safe, and understood while their family is away. I would be honored to earn your trust, care for your furry family member like my own, and hopefully become their new best friend. This is more than just a “hustle” to me, it’s my passion. 🥰 -I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule to attend to your dog's needs. - My home is completely fenced in - safe for your dog to roam and run around supervised. -Can easily crate or separate the dogs if needed. - Neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly - No kids or cats in my home -Ac/heat on 24/7 for your babies ensured comfortability. - Usually only book 1 client at a time to ensure I give your dog the best attention & safety precautions. I have a fully fenced yard, and two very friendly dogs. If needed, my pups definitely can be separated in a different section of the house, or crated. In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I don’t want anything to happen to any of their stuff, or their furbaby.

About: I don't just care for pets as a job, animals have been a core part of my life. I have personally owned both dogs and cats, giving me years of firsthand, real-world experience. I deeply understand the unique dynamics of both species, from reading a dog's body language on a long walk to respecting a cat’s independent boundaries.Because I have raised and cared for my own animals, I know the exact level of trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I treat every client's pet with the same patience, safety-first mindset, and individualized care that I gave my own. I am currently a college student and am not working a traditional job. This means my schedule is highly flexible and structured around my classes! Because I balance my time between my studies and my passion for animals, I can offer your pets consistent, reliable care. This setup allows me to easily accommodate midday walks, extended playtime sessions, and dedicated check-ins without the rush of a typical 9-to-5 workday. I'll be walking dogs but I'll be sure that they get adequate food and water before , during and after walks so that your pet stays happy and healthy

I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle giants and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC.

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.

About: I’m a lifelong cat owner and crazy cat lady! I have two special needs cats so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I’ve cared for cats of all ages and I love getting to know the unique personalities of each and every one. I'm experienced in giving medications, including pills, liquids, inhalers, and injections. I’m well versed in cat body language and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust, respect their boundaries, and make sure they're healthy and happy while their people are away. I don't mind staying a bit longer for visits if need be, especially for shy cats who need time adjusting to new people in their environment. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for drop-in’s after I’m off work at 6pm. I don’t work on weekends and have flexible availability Saturdays and Sundays. I will follow your care instructions to a T. Whether it's something as routine as simply feeding and playing with your cats, or more complex, like providing care for special needs, I will always make sure your cat feels safe and comfortable in your home.
About: I am currently a dog bather, used to be a dog trainer and have experience with multiple dog breeds and temperaments, I know how to approach timid dogs as well as puppies or older dogs.

About: Hello! As a devoted dog mom myself, I understand the importance of trust, safety, and individualized attention for every fur baby. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special care needs, I’ll treat your furry friend like family! I’ve been blessed to have pets in my family my entire life. I adopted my own large pup three years ago and I adopted my kitty in 2014. I trained my puppy and have also trained my cat (yes, it’s possible). I am good with all dog sizes and all cats! I’m currently working full-time but I have a flexible schedule. I can work around the needs of your fur baby! I am free most early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Long walks, extra cuddles, and lots of love. My fur-babies are my children. They are so spoiled and I carry myself the same way in caring for others!
About: I've always had friends with dogs and have done house and dog sitting for many years without any issues. I also have a saint Bernard, Banks! I'm currently looking for a new job after I was laid off from my former job. I have a lot of time on my hands currently so I have open availability. I take my doggo out on walks every day! We're also lazy from time to time but we're usually more active. I'm very engaged with my dog as he can be very energetic so I can definitely handle bigger dogs with a lot of energy.
About: Hi, I'm Ruby! I love all things dogs. I have two dogs, One Cocker Spaniel and one Cocker mix named Bailey and Oliver. In the 21 years I've been around I have never not had a dog. I occasionally go to the dog park for fun whether I have my dogs or not. I am a part time student without a full time job. Usually I am home every day of the week. I'm not all that into running but I probably should be doing something active so I am willing to run with your pet if that's what you want. We can motivate each other. I am Organized, Energetic, Patient, and Loyal. Also willing to watch your cat(s), fish, and bird(s). Thanks for your interest.

“Best dog care for a high energy puppy — really appreciate the great welcome and play time given to our dog. Thank you to Savannah and her two pups for being so gracious and welcoming to Scout 🐾”
“Rachel B is a wonderful Rover sitter!! She had my two fur babies for 5 days and they had a great visit! They were so well cared for and I felt so relaxed knowing they were in her care. Rachel sent us pictures of the happy pups and texted updates as well. She has a well equipped large space for dogs to play safely. They were treated like family. We will definitely call Rachel again for boarding!”
“Fantastic dog sitters and dog lovers. We could tell our dog Raya was super connected with Patricia and Rick, and super well taken care of with lots of walks and snuggles. They really cared about her as their own and shared heaps of pictures throughout the short stay. We also appreciated that it was a last minute booking and they were able to take Raya in. If you’re in Big Bear and need a sitter, please check this beautiful family’s availability!”
“Great couple, positive vibes, very polite and understanding when I was running late for pickup. My dog didn't want to leave, he had alot of fun playing with the other dogs. I will definitely book again.”
About: ✨ A little name note: My profile says Leslie, but everyone calls me Nicky! My home has a backyard and a designated dog run, giving dogs a safe space to get outside, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I’ll treat your pet like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m very outdoorsy, so if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d love to take them along! Depending on their needs and your preferences, I can offer neighborhood walks, lake walks, hikes, and other outdoor activities. Of course, I’m just as happy caring for a pup who prefers relaxing at home and getting lots of attention. I have a 5 1/2 year old son that would love to give your pup some extra love if that is something you and your pup are okay with. If not, that’s totally okay and I can keep them separated. As far as the pets on furniture- we usually do not allow that. However, if you have a pet that is more comfortable and request it, I can make an exception. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and companionship while they’re with me! They’ll have lots of interaction, plenty of opportunities to enjoy our backyard and dog run, and lots of time to play or relax. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel happy, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I have a fully fenced yard and a designated dog run, giving your dog plenty of secure outdoor space to play, exercise, and relax. We do NOT have any pets at home, so your pet will not have to share a space and it’s safety, comfort, and individual needs will always come first.
“We had a great experience with Lacey! My dogs loved being with her and her pack and they came back very happy and very tired :p The property is adapted for the dog needs. Lacey is very flexible and adjustable with the schedule. And she took us with a very short notice. We will use her every time we are in the area.”
“Heather was awesome! My dog looked very happy the moment he arrived and when get got back he was tired from all the attention and activities he got to do! It was a safe and healthy environment that I would definitely recommend!”
“Katherine was excellent. She regularly texted me pictures of my dog and she looked happy! When I picked her up, my little dog wasn’t overly excited to leave, she was calm, which I think was because she was comfortable at Katherine’s house. We also got a parting gift, a framed picture of my little dog, so cute!”
“Gaius was absolutely wonderful with my girl Lilith! I was so worried about her during the holiday but she had such a good time. Even made a new friend with his adorable dog He sent pictures and videos and kept me informed of how she was doing.. Prompt with pickup and drop off. Will definitely use him again.”
