Cat Sitting in Calistoga

“Michelle is amazing! She did drop in visits for our cat while we were away for 2 weeks. She always sent updates and was super responsive. You can tell that Michelle loves animals! She even checked on our chickens for us to make sure that they had enough food. We are so grateful for her excellent care!! We will absolutely use Michelle again in the future!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. I have experience with both small and large breeds. It will be all love and play that your furbaby won’t even notice you’re gone! I work full time on weekdays (11am-6pm), with a 30 min commute, and am available early mornings and evenings. On weekends I am free almost all day. I have a dog at home and cannot care for more at my place due to limited space. I am happy to care for others at their home.

About: I am a former Zookeeper and Vet Assistant, with a degree in Zoo Animal Technology. Now providing loving, reliable care, and let's not forget adventures, for your critters. Puppies, kittens, seniors; housesits, walks, drop in's, administering medications, I've got you covered. I am currently taking care of pet friends full time. I do my best to adhere to their routines, to ensure a safe, fun, stress free environment. If a pet schedule needs to be altered, it will be discussed with you first. When in pet client homes, your rules and preferences will be followed. And since I am a full time critter sitter, the fur kids will be given lots of attention. I was also reminded on a daily basis growing up, that I wasn't raised in a barn. No messes will be left!

About: I know how important routine and comfort is for pups when their human(s) go away. Staying consistent with the day to day norm is so important. I am committed to treating your dog the way you would while you are gone. A little more about me: I was born & raised in farm country with cows, horses, geese, chickens, cats, dogs ... you name it. I've been an animal lover from a young age and i've had / cared for horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, birds etc. I started dog / house sitting in my late teens for friends and family. What sets me apart? Dogs of all sizes have stollen my heart but none more than the big breeds people often shy away from. I love Canes, Danes, Rotties, Pitties, Mastiffs, Dogos, Presas ... the bigger the dog the bigger the heart! Having been a mom to a papered Rottweiler as well as a Rottweiler rescue I can say no one dog is easier than another, they are all so unique and individualistic just like us. After rehabilitating and training my rescue Rottie to be a service dog I began helping others train their dogs as well (by referral only). It's been 1.5 years since my last Rottie love transitioned to the rainbow bridge and though I am not ready for another one of my own I do have the time and love to give to the pups of others. If there is anything else you'd like to know feel free to message me! My schedule is my own. I'm a self employed business development consultant. I help female entrepreneurs go from idea to launch and provide social marketing strategy post launch. Most of my work is done on my laptop & cell phone. I am committed to treating your dog the way you would while you are gone. I know how important routine and comfort is for pups when their human(s) go away. Staying consistent with day to day norms is key!

“She is the best dog person ever. It was a miracle that I found her. She knows so much about dogs. She helped me with advice on training and took the most beautiful pics of my dog . . She is one of the best on here. So grateful.”

“Siarra was great. She checked on our two older cats over a weekend for us. Spent time with them, emptying litter boxes, feeding them and sending us some good pictures. I would definitely recommend her, and I’m sure we will use her again.”

“Lindsay has been amazing over the past couple of weeks - looking in after our Twilight kittie while we had to be away. She has been so communicative, responsive, and caring. We are lucky to have found her.”

About: Hello pawrents! Thanks for considering our family. My husband Cesar and I provide in-home dog boarding on a private vineyard in Calistoga, CA. Dogs stay in our home and are integrated into real family life — with structure, supervision, fresh air, and plenty of rest. Our days are simple and consistent: frequent potty breaks, time outside, and daily walks morning and night around the property. We love dogs with big personalities, shy dogs, curious dogs, seniors, puppies — all breeds are welcome. The goal is always the same: a safe, predictable routine where dogs can settle in quickly and feel secure. Harley’s Dog Sitting was inspired by our beloved dog Harley, who shaped the way we approach care — patient, attentive, and respectful of each dog’s personality. That philosophy continues today. For additional details and For additional details and FAQs, we keep everything updated on IG and more. OUR HOME This is a busy, real household with young children and visiting dogs, so we prioritize boundaries and consistency. Dogs are welcome on furniture during the day, but dogs do not sleep in bed with us. We also have a Mini Australian Shepherd rescue, Ginger. She’s a sweet part of our home but prefers distance from new people. You may hear her when you arrive — that’s normal — and we always manage greetings carefully. EXPERIENCE & SAFETY Mandi has cared for dogs for 17 years and has emergency/animal CPR training, plus experience with medications and senior dogs. Cesar has been walking and caring for dogs for years as well. We work remotely, so someone is usually home during the day, but we do not offer constant care — dogs must be comfortable being left alone for a minimum of 2 hours. Insurance note: Rover’s protections apply to Rover bookings. We also carry additional third party insurance. OUR POLICIES (Quick Version) 1. Spayed females only (exception: puppies under 4 months). Unneutered males are welcome. 2. Pick-up & drop-off by appointment only between 8:00am–6:30pm. Please text/call 15–30 minutes before arriving, then text upon arrival. 3. Dogs must be current on vaccinations and on flea/tick + heartworm prevention. Vet records required for new clients. 4. We may post photos from stays on our website/social/Rover. By booking, you agree to photo use. 5. Crates are required overnight and during meals. This supports routine, reduces stress, and is important in the event of an emergency evacuation. 6. Please do not pack toys. (We keep a controlled toy setup here to avoid guarding issues.) NEXT STEP If you’d like to request a stay, click “Contact Mandi M.” and send a booking request through Rover. You can message with questions first — nothing is confirmed until both sides approve the booking. WHAT TO PACK Please bring: food + feeding instructions, leash, and a collar/harness. We provide beds and bowls. If your dog uses a specific crate style/size, you’re welcome to bring it — otherwise we have crates available. Mandi and Cesar work from home full time. This enables us to enjoy spending time with your dog with frequent vineyard views and potty breaks. However if your pet needs constant care, please let us know before booking. We have a large outdoor space at your dog's paws. Between the vineyard and the river, there's a wonderful world to explore! The vineyard is partially fenced, however, we keep dogs on leashes during their outings at all times unless they have reliable recall at the owner’s discretion. We utilize crates to keep dogs separated during mealtimes and when unsupervised (at night). We also have a gate setup outside as an extra barrier. In addition to Rover's insurance, we have a 3rd party insurance policy because your dog's care is our priority.

“Natalia took great care of our animals. You won't regret hiring her to take care of your fur babies.”

“Luna is amazing! We had never used Rover before, but she made us feel so comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She was thorough, consistent, and communicated with us throughout the time we were out of town so we never had to worry about a thing. Luna is also very clearly an animal lover, which was really important to us because we knew she cared about our pet's wellbeing. We cannot recommend her enough!”

About: Ever since I can remember i’ve been surrounded by many different animal personalities. From the doggies I have loved, the puppies i've been blessed to bring into my home, and the many other creatures i’ve been able to care for. I have had 8 dogs and 6 cats in my lifetime and a plethora of other fun friends along the way. I sat beside my beautiful Golden as she delivered 2 litters of puppies and cared for them until other families had that privilege. Animals have always been a passion of mine, and all dogs and cats I get the honor to care for are loved just as I would love my own. I have dog sat and taken care of many animals of my friends and family, and I’m excited to expand my caregiver passion. I’m currently on my summer break from college, and I’m pretty much free all the time! Once school starts up again I can work around my schedule. But I am always available Friday-Sunday! I am able to do whatever is necessary for specific pet care in anyone’s home. I am very respectful of clients environments and personal expectations.

“Barbara is experienced, intuitive, dependable and very caring. Our very picky cat responded well to her and she seemed to know exactly what he wanted or needed. She came twice a day at the times we agreed upon (even over the holidays) to feed him, give fresh water, change litter and take care of whatever else he was accustomed to. And to play with him, a lot! It was our first time leaving him with "strangers" , and of course we were nervous. But it all worked out very well and we were quite pleased with her. We're going to book Barbara again for another trip this year.”

“I can highly recommend Maddie. She is reliable and easy to communicate with. She came by midday daily while I was away.to play with my elderly dog who is used to having me home much of the time. My dog loves her too.”

About: I have been dog sitting and caring for pets for over 10 years. I have always felt such an affinity for animals and I have an extreme amount of empathy for them. Several family friends and relatives have been reliant on me for pet care for as long as I can remember. Sitting, bathing, walking, feeding, you name it I can do it. I currently only work one day a week as a nanny, so I have a very open schedule and would be available most all days. I currently am just looking to sit at clients houses due to my cats territorial issues. I would love to discuss expectations as a sitter/walker and I am very respectful of boundaries made by clients.
