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.

“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!”

I want to give you peace of mind by ensuring that your fur baby's needs are met with care and compassion every time that you are away. If you own birds, reptiles, insects, or small mammals I'd be more than happy to care for them as well! -Volunteer experience - Big Bear Alpine Zoo, Big Bear, CA HALO Animal Rescue, Glendale, AZ I'm currently in between jobs and have full availability until further notice. 😊 My partner and I share a car for now, so that is the only thing I may need to work around. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I monitor pets closely, keep doors and gates secured, and only use leashes outdoors. I follow all owner instructions regarding diet, medication, and routines. I maintain a clean environment with access to fresh water and a quiet resting area. I will never bring pets into crowded or unsafe environments. I respect my clients’ homes and privacy when providing in-home care. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos throughout the stay or visit.

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.

“Hugh and Mary are absolutely amazing. You can truly feel how much they love and understand dogs. They sent us photos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mika was doing well. They even surprised us with a treat for her! Mika literally runs to the door every time we drop her off, and that says everything. What more can I say? We felt completely comfortable leaving her with them while we went skiing. We will definitely be coming back to Mary and Hugh the next time we visit Big Bear. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾❄️”
“Jessica was very friendly and easy to communicate with! We are visiting for the week from Arizona and wanted a place for our pups for a few hours while we did some activities at the lake. My dogs were nervous at first as it was a new place, but Jessica sent lots of updates and pictures letting me know they settled in just fine, even making friends with Jessica’s dog! Will be using her again in a few days during our stay!”
“Cesar was awesome! Our husky girl got to play in the snow with his pack while we went skiing for the day. Doesn’t get much better than that! Will definitely be reaching out to Cesar the next time head up to 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. 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.

We look forward to having Moriah provise doggy daycare again. Highly recommended!”

“Alexis was an absolutely amazing caretaker I would 100% book with her again and probably will do so in the near future. The amount of care, dedication and attention left me feeling so relieved that my two pups were in great hands even if one of my pups was a bit skittish and had boundaries with strangers it was clear he was able to relax in her home. She took plenty of pictures and her notes were so detailed I felt completely sure that they were having a great time. They had plenty of long walk’s, enrichment activities and made sure they were fed well and full. Its clear she has a great skill set that allows her to understand dog behavior exceptionally that makes her perfect for taking care of your pups, I was able to learn even more about my pups during their stay with Alexis. Cant recommend enough!”
About: Caring for animals is my calling in life! I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University.

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.

About: I have a 7 year old ‘puppy’ Jaxon who is my reason for loving dogs so much. I often pet sit for my family for their 2 labs, and my sister in law’s beagle. It’s important to me as a dog mom & travel lover that my own dog feels at home with whomever he stays with when I travel & I want to offer you that same peace of mind and comfort. I am attentive to each dog’s needs and make sure that they receive enough exercise and play time so that they are happy and occupied. As they say, a good dog is a tired dog! I’ll make sure your pupp receives all the exercise and attention they need. :) I currently make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pupps.

Water will be provided indoors and out doors and we will always leash your pet on our walks.
About: I’ve always had animals around while growing up. I don’t think I can recall a time I haven’t had a pet. I even insisted on rescuing my dear Daizie May when I was 12 from the pound. I’ve helped raise several litters and rescue any dog I see in need. I have to actively stay off Facebook as to not fall into fostering or taking in any animal in need. My boyfriend calls me a Disney Princess with the way I communicate with my animals. It’s all about body language, respect, and patience. Trust is extremely important. I currently work a flexible schedule in my family owned business and am looking for side jobs that I also am passionate about. Any time that I’m needed I can usually make it work. I’m ready to follow and assist in whatever systems are set up in your family and household. Whatever your fur family is used to! Photos are VERY important and cherished.
“Caesar is so knowledgeable and patient with my Mastiff and Boston terrier. My mastiff is not typically comfortable with men and Caesar has been working with him, taking him on walks and after a couple of visits their total pals! Caesar knows a lot about dog psychology and has helped me a lot with how I work with my dogs. I highly recommend using Caesar for all of your pet sitting services.”

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.
“Tara gave my dog an excellent walk! He came back well exercised and she sent plenty of pictures. I would definitely work with Tara again! She also made time for me on a very last minute appointment. Thank you Tara”
About: Hi! 🐶 My name is Chloe, and I come from a family of dog and cat lovers. I have a lifelong love for animals and a dream of one day owning or working for a wildlife rehabilitation center. I want to give you peace of mind by ensuring that your fur baby's needs are met with care and compassion every time that you are away. If you own birds, reptiles, insects, or small mammals I'd be more than happy to care for them as well! -Volunteer experience - Big Bear Alpine Zoo, Big Bear, CA HALO Animal Rescue, Glendale, AZ I'm currently in between jobs and have full availability until further notice. 😊 My partner and I share a car for now, so that is the only thing I may need to work around. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I monitor pets closely, keep doors and gates secured, and only use leashes outdoors. I follow all owner instructions regarding diet, medication, and routines. I maintain a clean environment with access to fresh water and a quiet resting area. I will never bring pets into crowded or unsafe environments. I respect my clients’ homes and privacy when providing in-home care. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos throughout the stay or visit.
About: After years of caring for all my friends pets when they go out of town I decided to give this a try! I love all animals and now that I work part time at home I am always available. I am a very active person and love the outdoors so I have no problem spending time outside with your pet. 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. We do not have pets of our own but look forward to meeting and caring for yours! I know leaving pets can be stressful but rest assured your pet will be happy and cared for.
“Ria was wonderful! Communication was quick, booking was easy, and we could tell our doggo got some good exercise on his walk. Ria also left detailed notes and plenty of pics for us and we could tell he was getting plenty of attention. We felt completely comfortable leaving our furry family member in her care and highly recommend her.”
“Was communicative and provided great recap of the walks with pics!. Our spoiled ones aren't thrilled to walk in the rain.. but she got em thru it 😀.. super easy to schedule with while out for a few days on vacation . Thanks,!”
“Melissa is a rock star dog walker! 🤘😎❤️🐾 My Goldem Retriever was desperate for a walk and it started raining — this did not stop Melissa from giving my dog the most fun walk in the rain ever! ☔️🐕 My dog is so happy and I’m very grateful!”
About: I have always been an animal lover. I have a BS degree in Biology with an emphasis in Zoology, and I managed a veterinary clinic for seven years. We currently have a German Shepherd, a Great Dane, and one large fluffy cat who are our furry kids. I am a very compassionate and empathetic person. I have been in social services by trade, and I love connecting and developing relationships with people and have a particular love and connection with animals. Even in my work both Child and Adult Protective Services, I always found myself drawn to protecting and caring for animals as well, to try and be their voice and an advocate. Working with people and pets seems like a natural progression, as it plays to all of my strengths!
“Brooke was responsive, friendly, and flexible, all of which are super valuable in a dog walker/sitter! Groot had a great time with her and she was able to take care of him on very late notice. On future trips to Big Bear, we’ll definitely be reaching out again :)”
About: Since I was born there was always a dog in the house. I have grown up with dogs wether they were mine or my other relatives. I have grown such love for not only dogs but other animals as well. I have had bunnies to hamsters to fishes all throughout my life! I just recently moved to the area and while I search for employment, I would love to walk your dogs🥰 I love animals so I thought this would be perfect for me! I do not currently plan to house others animals at my home because I do have two fur babies of my own. I do have a full backyard that is all fenced it though.

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. I am currently a dog trainer so I know how to care for dogs and their individual needs. My current dog has a lot of different medical needs as well. Depending on what the animal needs are, I make a specific care plan for them and follow it exactly. If it works, why change it? We always want what’s best for pets.
“Nina took very good care of my senior Chihuahua. On the drive home my dog cried when I put her in the carrier, something she never does. I think she wanted to stay at Nina‘s house forever!”
“Lacey was so sweet. My pups loved their stay! She sent many pictures & it helped me enjoy my trip, knowing they were in good hands and very happy. I will definitely be using Lacey again.”
“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!”
