Pet 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!”

“I booked Jacqueline at the last minute & gratefully she was not only available, but delivered big time, for my older shy guy (terrier). She followed up with photos of what she had completed..very thorough and responsible!”

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.

“Thank you Gary!!!”

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’ve had experience caring for dogs and cats through people in my life and have always been really comfortable around animals. I’m confident with walks, feeding, and general care, and I try to make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’ll always follow your instructions closely so everything stays consistent for them. I currently work remotely from home, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for walks and drop-ins. Aside from going to the gym, I’m home throughout the day and able to be consistent and reliable with timing. This makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine and give your pet the attention they need. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible by following all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific care needs. I pay attention to their behavior and energy so I can adjust as needed and make sure they’re comfortable. In your home, I’m very respectful of your space and always leave things clean and as I found them.

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.

About: I’ve trained and cared for my own family dogs for years and become my neighborhood’s preferred pet sitter. Experience with large dogs, multiple animal households, puppy and senior dog car. I love dogs and cats. Enjoy your time away knowing your pets are taken care of at home. I can give plenty of time to devote to your pets. I am available on weekends and typically am in town for holidays. I work at a winery and have a yard at our home. My husband and I are very active and commonly go on long walks. Working as a personal assistant and property manager previously, I am experienced in household management. Your home will be tidy and set for you to unwind when you return.

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!

About: I've grown up with at least 5 dogs in my family for the last 30 years. They ranged from German Shepherds to Minarure Australian Shepherds to Yorkies to Corgis. The list goes on. Life is always better with a dog in it and I would absolutely love to help take care of yours! If you are looking for a loving, happy person to be around your dogs, I will happily take them off your hands whenever you need!
