Dog Walkers in Calistoga, CA

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since the age of 5 years old. I’ve had 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 guinea pigs to be exact. My roommates are welcoming to all kinds of animals. Friends and families have relied on me to take care of all of their companions. I am a flexible student attending Sacramento State University. I am taking online classes and in person classes so I accommodate to your needs anytime. If you need long term stays, care over the weekends or just a quick walk and visit, I am available to do anything. I live close to neighborhoods that have parks close to the area for extra walking if needed. I have no problems with pets in my home, I live with all girls so that extra attention would even be offered at no cost. My main focus is to do my job and take great responsibility of your pet as if it were my own.

About: I've had a way with animals that brings a calming energy throughout my life. As a young child I would call the bulls over and pet them on the head. The rancher would call my grandmother; stating I was on the fence again with the Bulls! Reiki is a way of calming and the energy knows what to do. I've worked with horses who are passing and calmed animals who are scared. Its in my nature to bring the intention of nourishing. loving, care to your pets. I work a flexible schedule as a Massage Therapist which allows me to also care for pets. I have worked with small and large animals from horses, pups ands felines. I follow the routines of the families, keeping the schedules I would want followed when my pets are being cared for. This includes their feeding, exercise, and sleep routines.

About: I have two dogs that I have raised and trained since they were puppies. I love going on long walks/hikes and am used to strong dogs. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule and can provide extra cuddles/support as needed - and I have a large fenced yard for playtime! The home is myself and my husband (who also works from home) and our two dogs. To see more photos of Birdie and Bear (my dogs), check out their Instagram Griffs_BirdieandBear I work from home pretty standard business hours (Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm) but can take breaks during the day as needed. I live in Calistoga and am usually pretty open on the weekends. I walk multiple times a day and am happy to walk more! I have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs. My dogs are 4 and 7 years old and love to play. I can also house sit or provide care at your home.

About: Your little guy/gal is my priority and will receive all the care and love you can imagine. I pet sit for my family and absolutely love dogs. Lost my little guy about 1 year ago. My one wish is that I could adopt every homeless and neglected dog and bring them home with me. I walk 2 miles everyday and would love a companion. A walk in a beautiful park right up the street from me. Or we could sit here and watch tv all day. I am a retired bachelor with a very flexible schedule. With enough notice I can work around your schedule. Available any day of the week. I have no pets at this time or children. My priority and total attention will be given to your pet’s needs. My place is 1400 sq. feet.

“Olivia has been absolutely wonderful with my dog. From day one, she made him feel safe and cared for, taking extra time to ease his anxiety and make sure he was comfortable. She’s thoughtful, dependable, and truly treats him like her own. She even surprised me by drawing a picture of him — such a sweet, personal touch that shows how much she cares. Knowing Olivia is with him gives me total peace of mind, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

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.

“Lindsay was such a good sitter for my little yorkie boy, Monty Banks! Super caring and attentive, making sure he was happy!! I explained that he is ALWAYS with me and may not be very engaging and just miss his mama, but she took him for an awesome walk and kept him busy and he even snuggled a bit. The photos were so cute and made me feel safe, as this is only our second time using Rover…what a great experience!! I was visiting wine country for a girls trip and decided last minute to grab a mud bath…so happy to have someone so special to puppy sit!!!”

About: I’ve had neighbors, friends and family rely on my to take care of their kids and pets since I was about 16 but I didn’t start really doing it a lot until I was about 18 and driving. I’m used to taking care of kids and animals at the same time so just taking care of animals would be pretty easy for me. I currently only work weekends 11:15-5:15pm other than that I’m fully available. I do play in some soccer leagues but I’ll only be gone about an hour and a half of the days I play. I am comfortable putting dogs in crates, picking up after animals, feeding them, letting them out and giving them as much love as they will take lol.

My house is totally set up for all dogs to have an amazing time with us. 1/2 acre fenced backyard with redwood trees to smell and lots of adventure and space to run around and just relax under all the redwood trees. Dogs can be walked out my front door to a very quiet road with few houses and lots of trees following a year long running creek. My house also has air conditioning for those few hot summer days here in Sonoma County. Dogs will have a wonderful time and be loved while staying with us I am retired and have a Bernese Mountain dog so time for nice long walks out my front door thru redwoods and a year running creek on property Dogs will be in air condition home and lots of play time in 1/2 acre of fenced backyard.

“I had to go out of town and booked Lynne at the last minute for day-time walks when no one was home. Her responses were always prompt, her communication was effective and clear, and I felt absolutely comfortable entrusting my pups to her. I also ended up extending my stay last minute and she was fully accommodating. I had let her know that two of my dogs may be a little shy at first, but they apparently were very fond of Lynne, and after just a few days of being walked by a new human, they are more friendly in general to strangers! Thanks Lynne, for taking great care of my pups. I would absolutely recommend Lynne To anyone needing the services she offers.”
