House Sitting in Calistoga

“David has been a big help for our family. He's really flexible, neat and our dog loves him. David is on our favorite list and we will be hiring him again. Our dog can be hard to deal with and David wasn't intimidated and handled everything like a pro! You will not be disappointed!”

“Jenny is an accomplished dog groomer and caretaker. She has a passion for the well-being of those little creatures. She has many many photos of all the adorable little doggos showing that she very much shows pride in her work and loves to show the adorable doggos she has taken care of”

“Our dogs are very comfortable at Deborah’s house. They are calm and happy when we pick them up. She does a great job - highly recommend!”

“Orrya took very good care of the animals and did an excellent job dealing with the storm and loss of power to the house while I was away.”

“Heather did a great job with our two dogs. One of them had an eating issue and she handled it with common sense and kept in communication with me about it. She sent photos and texts with amusing stories about the dogs. She left the house neat and clean and even washed the linens she used. I would highly recommend Heather and hope she can take care of our dogs again.”

“Sarah is dependable and caring and will take care of your pet like if it was her own. I would highly recomend Sarah to watch your personal pet.”

“Valerie was amazing, she came 15 minutes earlier than requested and then she was an AMAZING help with the wedding ceremony. Valerie also sat outside in the hot sun with the two dogs, all while taking the dogs out and giving them water. She grabbed the dogs from the ring bearer and flower girl when needed and then fed and watched the dogs throughout the night in the bridal suite. ALSO she helped me get the dogs dressed for the big day, holding them while I got them dressed. There is no one I could trust more than Valerie and she was so considerate and such a team player. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE book her! She is such an amazing sitter.”

“Stephanie is a hardworking, empathetic animal lover who is the first person I would want taking care of my pet. She is patient, loving, and energetic. She loves walking and running with pups and will do a great job as a Rover caregiver.”

“Adriana did a fabulous job taking care of our dogs, cat and house! She clearly knows animals. We have a large livestock guardian dog who is reserved with most people but warmed up to Adriana very quickly. She sent me updates with photos. She left our house in immaculate condition. We couldn't be happier!”

“Karyl is the best pet/house sitter. I feel very lucky to have found her. My pup is very happy when I come home, she’s a great communicator, very flexible, and so helpful w my home and garden. I highly recommend her.”

“Kate did a great job sitting for us, can't wait to have her back again! Thanks Kate”

“Cambryel is a sweet person who treats my 15-year old bichon with care and understanding. I highly recommend her for day care or overnight stays.”

“Lindsay was the first person to watch our dog, Leni, who is a 1 1/2 year old sweet little guy but has never been away from us. She watched him for about 4 hours while we had dinner with friends. She arrived on time, sent us pictures to let us know it was going ok (but I’ll bet it was challenging), and did a fabulous job. We are so grateful that she has took this on. Thank you, Lindsay!”

“Mindy was prompt, communicated well and took good care of our dog and our home. Would use her again and recommend her.”

“Brooke is a smart, mature, fun & intuitive young lady. She has been with dogs all of her life. She is responsible, kind & cares about others & their pets. She worked as a soccer referee & camp counselor for under privileged youth. Brooke is compassionate & a young entrepreneur working to meet her college & future goals. You're lucky if you are able to have Brooke!”

About: As a kid in school my fun fact was always that I had 26 pets. We had chickens, ducks, a dog, cats, birds, and bunny rabbits! I probably spent more time with animals than people. I cannot provide any training services but will treat your pets with the utmost of love, care, and attention. I grew up in St. Helena, and moved back after graduating college. I recently quit my full-time job at a psychiatric facility and will be going to grad school (MFT program) in the fall. I will be fully available to care for your pets for the rest of this spring and summer! I am currently unable to board pets at my house. In caring for pets at a client’s home, I can engage them in play, walks several times a day, and lots of love!

“Barbara is the best person I've ever had take care of my dogs. She won over my shy girl Zelda to the point where I received a photo of Zelda snuggled up and giving Barbara her look of love. And she accepted Jasper's generous affection. J & Z got lots of play time, walks and love while she stayed with them. I was able to fully relax and enjoy my trip knowing Barbara was taking care of my fur kids. Her communication before and during my trip was thoughtful and thorough as well. I count myself very fortunate to have connected with Barbara and know you will too.”

“Dexter enjoyed his time with Jason and was well cared for. Jason even brought some very healthy joint chews to make Dex more comfortable. The house was left clean while we were away. He also sent some cute pix of Dex to us. Thanks, Jason!!”

“Hello Rover, I was with Gary when we went to the animal shelter looking at dogs and was surprised when he picked a minpin senior estimated at about 10 years old at the time. He took excellent care of Spike who enjoyed at least 6 more years of loving care and walks everyday. As he got older Spike you could tell Spike loved being outside but not able to walk as far. Gary would walk Spike a little bit slower and then carried him the rest of the way when Spike got tired. I would let Gary watch my dog anytime and trust they would receive the best care.”

“My dog, Penny, is so old and slow, but she still needs to get out of the house. Dominique was so gentle and patient with her, she gave her all the time she needed to get plenty of sniffs in on her walk. Penny doesn’t usually get along well with new people, but perhaps Dominiques calm demeanor and good attitude was enough to win her over.”
