Camp Cooper: Your Pup's home away from home
Professional Pet Sitters
If you are anything like us, we aren't comfortable going somewhere unless we know our dog is well taken care of, and hopefully in a home where she gets lots of attention. Pet sitters don't replace Mom or Dad, but we always give your pet extra loving while you are away. Al & Barbara Pet Sitting was honored to receive the 2018 "Best of Indio Award" in the Pet Sitting/Boarding category by the Indio Award Program.
We specialize in sitting smaller pups, under 40 pounds. Many of our clients schedule visits that last three to four weeks - some visits are only a day or two. We require a "meet n greet" prior to scheduling and are not able to accommodate daycare request.
Mission Statement
To love and treasure each and every pet in our care as if they were our own, because they all become part of our family.
The Couple Behind the Business
“We have always had dogs and cats throughout our marriage, but never considered we would have so much fun with a pet sitting business in our later careers.” Al is a retired remodeling contractor, and recipient of “The Pasadena Beautiful Award.” In Big Bear, his company remodeled cabins and houses, and was the contractor for Phase 1 of the Big Bear World Mark time share. Barbara’s career was advertising and publishing, where she worked for “House & Garden Magazine” as well as several trade titles. Prior to moving to the Coachella Valley, she owned and published Big Bear Magazine for more than a decade.
Our Family/Our Pets
Living in the mountains, and parenting three animal-loving kids, there was always a great story, and a dog or cat that became our pet.
Bridgette
Such a sweet terrier mix, that our eldest Julie discovered needing a forever home at a neighbor’s home. Timing was right, so to be sure we would take in another dog, Bridgette came with a bow to Al for Father’s Day.
Sam
Was our black kitty in Big Bear, selected by Amanda. In fact, the moment she laid eyes on Sam, she knew he was the one she wanted. Sam became a long-time family pet, occasionally bringing us “treats and gifts” from fields around our home.
Bugle
Our beautiful Boxer, was another favorite rescue. Bugle, an abused dog, came to our house daily, for food and treatment of his wounds. He had no license or name tag, but wandered freely around the area we lived. We sent a note around his neck, which read: “I visit the Scharnhorsts often...what is my name?” The response came back “Bugle.” Little by little, Al nursed him back to good health, and also gained his trust and confidence. When we moved to Pasadena, it’s not hard to guess who jumped in the car with us. Bugle lived a long and pampered life under our care.
