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. I’m retired and home mostly except for when I travel. I’m available to walk dogs and to play with them in fenced yard. I have a soft spot for all animals. My dog Holly is mostly an inside dog but always has access to fenced backyard through doggie door. The same would apply for any dogs I care for.
“Our furr babies had a lovely summer camp ? at Lacey’s place. It gives us a piece of mind to find someone that we can trust to take care of our pets while we’re away from our home. We highly recommended Lacey’s service and we would love to use her service again in the future.”
“Amazing dog lovers!!! Hugh and Mary are wonderful people and truly loved my 2 dogs while in their care. They have a secure setup with lots of room to walk and sniff around and a doggy door for doggy autonomy haha. They sent pictures of my happy dogs and put my mind at ease. Thank you, Hugh and Mary!”
“Caesar was awesome!! This was the first time we left our dog Dolly?. He communicated with me while we were gone. She looked so happy in the picture he sent❤️ We would definitely take her there again.”
“Amanda was very communicative, she would constantly send me pictures and give multiple updates through out the day. She cleaned and helped heal his eye when he had a small scratch. She had very open availability to work with my schedule, we had no problems. My dog was very happy through the entire time she was caring for him and would hire her again in the future,hopefully she would accept it. Thanks Amanda.”
“Savannah was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She was so sweet, caring, and loving toward them, which made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated often and sent lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well taken care of. It was such a relief not having to worry about them while we were gone. We would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch our pups again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and also the first time leaving our dog with anyone, so a bit nervous. Jayne and Gary were amazing and took our Doodle at the last minute. They took great care and kept us updated. We will definitely reach out to them again.”
“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!”
“Heater was great with the pups. It was their first time with her and it went well. Heather is very communicative and provides lots of updates. She took the time to let us know how they were doing and asked great questions about their regular habits. Great experience and I recommend her services.”

“Thank you, Yoshi, for taking great care of my Junior! I am so happy I found you and I don’t have to worry about anything when I need a boarding place and loving hoooman for my girl 👍❤️🐶”
“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!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for my Doberman puppy! Marinee has so much experience with Dobermans, and it really shows. It was comforting to know my Ruby was in the hands of someone who understands the breed’s unique energy and needs. Marinee treated my Ruby like one of their own, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and care. The updates and photos they sent were a bonus and showed just how happy and well cared for my pup was. I highly recommend Marinee to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable sitter, especially for Doberman owners. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Kelly was a fantastic sitter. She was available for me last minute and was very gracious and kind. She treated both of my dogs very well and I had no concerns during my time away. If you have the opportunity you should book with Kelly! I know I will the next time I need a dog sitter. Thank you Kelly!!”

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.

I have a mixed breed rescue dog (all shots and healthy) and two rescue cats. My three amigos! I have always owned large dogs, and am experienced with larger breeds.

I have a large Enclosed yard they can run and play in, all day if they want. a large crate of needed , and I’m home full time. I can do sleepovers in your home, if not frequent, or extended stays. My pets and husband might get jealous! 🤣 *PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT board cats in my home, only dogs and caged animals. Sorry. I work from home and have the flexibility of scheduling work around my fury friends! I am available to accept any pets starting at 8am on weekdays and weekends. We take 1-2 walks each day. Your pet is allowed on furniture, so my home will become their home comfortably. I have a large backyard that is fully enclosed. It is a brick wall of decent height but I will need to know if you own a reindeer that can fly over a wall! 🤣
About: I've had dogs growing up, as an adult I owned a lab pit mix from being 4 days old to when she passed not too long ago at the age of 12.

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.

About: Dogs of all sizes and personalities are welcome here—I truly love them all. What makes my care unique is the environment I provide: a fully fenced ½ acre yard with multiple play areas for fetch, running, and exploring. We’re just a short walk from both the village and the lake, which means your dog can enjoy safe, scenic adventures every day. Inside, pups are treated like family with full furniture privileges—whether they want to curl up on the couch, stretch out on the rug, or join me on the wrap-around deck for fresh air and sun. I believe in letting dogs live their best life, both indoors and outdoors. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special needs pets, so I can adapt care to match your dog’s stage of life—whether that means extra patience with potty training, gentle support for mobility, or a little extra playtime to burn off puppy energy. My approach is always loving, consistent, and safety-first. Your dog won’t just be supervised—they’ll be engaged, cared for, and made to feel at home. Pet care isn’t something I “fit in” around other tasks—it’s my top priority. From the moment your dog arrives, they will be treated like family. I structure my day around feeding times, play sessions, walks, and rest, making sure every dog has the attention and care they deserve. Whether that means extra belly rubs, sticking to a familiar routine, or paying close attention to their unique needs and behaviors. I’m always tuned in to the little things: how much water they’re drinking, how energetic they seem, or if they just need some quiet cuddle time. Because I live in a dog-friendly environment with a large fenced yard and plenty of outdoor space, it’s natural for me to build in multiple exercise and play breaks throughout the day. I’m also flexible, so I can match your dog’s routine as closely as possible to what they’re used to at home. In short, pet care isn’t just part of my schedule—it is my schedule. Your pup’s happiness and comfort are always at the center of my day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. I provide a secure, fully fenced ½ acre yard where dogs can run, play, and explore without worry. The space is divided into multiple play areas, so I can tailor the environment depending on a dog’s size, age, or energy level. Whether it’s a high-energy game of fetch or a quiet sniffing stroll, every pup has a safe place to enjoy themselves. Inside my home, dogs are treated like family with supervised free roam and furniture privileges—no being tucked away or left alone for long stretches. The wraparound deck allows for safe outdoor lounging and plenty of fresh air, while still keeping pups secure. I build trust by maintaining a calm, attentive presence. I carefully monitor interactions, body language, and energy levels to ensure every dog feels comfortable. For puppies, seniors, or dogs with special needs, I adjust activities and rest times to meet their unique requirements. With me, your dog will be in an environment designed to help them thrive, relax, and feel at home.

I absolutely love unique animals and would be excited to care for your scaly, feathered, or unusual family members too. From reptiles and birds to chickens and other special pets, I think every animal deserves the same patience, attention, and love. As a small business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to truly focus on the pets in my care. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment because I understand that your pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. I would love the opportunity to meet your pets and become someone you can trust whenever you need care! 🐶🐱🦎 As the owner of a local pet waste management business “Pawsitive Patrol” I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to truly focus on giving your pets the attention, care, and love they deserve! 🩷 🐈🐕🦜🦎🐟 I have a fenced back deck for your pups to run around and sunbathe at my home. But I also have no problem taking care of your pet at your own home.

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. I’m retired and home mostly except for when I travel. I’m available to walk dogs and to play with them in fenced yard. I have a soft spot for all animals. My dog Holly is mostly an inside dog but always has access to fenced backyard through doggie door. The same would apply for any dogs I care for.
“Our furr babies had a lovely summer camp ? at Lacey’s place. It gives us a piece of mind to find someone that we can trust to take care of our pets while we’re away from our home. We highly recommended Lacey’s service and we would love to use her service again in the future.”
“Amazing dog lovers!!! Hugh and Mary are wonderful people and truly loved my 2 dogs while in their care. They have a secure setup with lots of room to walk and sniff around and a doggy door for doggy autonomy haha. They sent pictures of my happy dogs and put my mind at ease. Thank you, Hugh and Mary!”
“Caesar was awesome!! This was the first time we left our dog Dolly?. He communicated with me while we were gone. She looked so happy in the picture he sent❤️ We would definitely take her there again.”
“Savannah was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She was so sweet, caring, and loving toward them, which made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated often and sent lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well taken care of. It was such a relief not having to worry about them while we were gone. We would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch our pups again!”
“Heater was great with the pups. It was their first time with her and it went well. Heather is very communicative and provides lots of updates. She took the time to let us know how they were doing and asked great questions about their regular habits. Great experience and I recommend her services.”
“Melanie went above and beyond to care for our doggie. She took care of her a week after having surgery. We trust Melanie with our dog and know she is going to be well taken care of.”
“Thank you, Yoshi, for taking great care of my Junior! I am so happy I found you and I don’t have to worry about anything when I need a boarding place and loving hoooman for my girl 👍❤️🐶”
“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!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for my Doberman puppy! Marinee has so much experience with Dobermans, and it really shows. It was comforting to know my Ruby was in the hands of someone who understands the breed’s unique energy and needs. Marinee treated my Ruby like one of their own, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and care. The updates and photos they sent were a bonus and showed just how happy and well cared for my pup was. I highly recommend Marinee to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable sitter, especially for Doberman owners. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Erika was a beyond great sitter! She not only kept me updated but asked any necessary questions to make sure everything was an easy transition and did such an awesome job at trying to keep his schedule as consistent as possible. Thank you so much for everything !”
“Chelsea was a wonderful sitter for our foster pup! She was quick to respond from the start and provided pictures over the day we had our dog boarded with her. She had some fun outside time during her stay and was happy girl when we picked her up in the evening. I highly recommend and will definitely be using Chelsea’s services in the future!”
“Once again, a seamless stay with Nina. We are so fortunate to have found her- we know Hula is taken care of and happy and we never have to worry about a thing when she’s with Nina. We love the pictures and videos we get of Hula while we’re gone and so appreciate all the love Hula gets from Nina and her dogs when we’re away.”
