Highlights
Pet care experience
Confident care for your dog
A retired couple with 40 years of dog guardian experience, who now lives in the California wine country, albeit without a dog. I am a retired woman with 40 years of dog guardian experience. I took one Lab through the breed ring, field trials, and obedience. I won several legs but no Masters. I presently have no dogs. My son lives with me partîmes. Our house is in a community in which are located several dog parks. We have a large fenced in back yard. My dogs are recently deceased and i have yet to replace them. I have the facilities and the compassion to host dogs. It is an obvious way to gain exposure and experience with multiple breeds. About this sitter: I live in Calistoga and I pet sit dogs. I am physically able to deal with medium to small dogs. I enjoy walking for exercise. I am reluctant to care for more than 2 dogs daily. Why I love dog sitting Casey, my wife and I, have had dogs in our house since 1973. Mostly Labs, but there was also a Dalmatian. In 1996 we purchased a breed puppy and trained her for the ring. Her X-rays revealed elbow problems at 1 year so I switched to Field Trials and obedience. Lot's of leg awards but no Masters. In 2004, while living in France, we adopted another Yellow Lab, so then we had Macchu and Picchu. We brought the whole gang home to San Francisco in 2007, where both animals died of old age. Meet my pets We have no other pets in the house. Sometimes we will sit 2 dogs, however, it is only with the agreement of each pet parent. About my yard The back yard is aprox. 100X100 and is completely enclosed with a wooden 6 foot fence. The surface is rock gravel, cement, and redwood chip. There is ample protection and shade for the dog. My experience administering medication Yes we are. This eventuality will be discussed in our "meet and greet."

Fabulous home away from home with a loving and caring pet sitter. Feels good to know your fur baby is being loved and having fun adventures. Definitely 5 ⭐️ !
Casey took great care of Rory while we were in town visiting. We received updates and knew he had a great time. Thanks so much! We’ll definitely rebook when we’re in town next.
Casey was so kind and caring with my min pin who has separation anxiety. She was able to get her to relax and my dog enjoyed walking and spending time in her backyard. And cuddling!
Fabulous service, Casey is so sweet. Her place is clean, well apppointef and has a nice yard. I recommend her!
I am so happy with the daycare that Casey provided to my 2 Labradoodles on their first visit and I have booked her again for several more days next month. Her quiet home setting, big back yard and tree-lined street for shady walks are just right for my pups. I highly recommend Casey.
Casey was the best!! My dog took to her immediately and so did we. She is very intuitive, warm and inviting as a host. She was very attentive to our pup and I could tell when I picked him up that he had a lovely time. They walked and bonded over a weekend time. I would highly recommend Casey for a worry free pet sitting experience!

Dogs are welcome to share my entire home and garden. They will have a clean and safe environment. They sleep in my bedroom to help them feel secure.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We live in a small village, with very little vehicular traffic, and lot's of green space in parks and adjacent to sidewalks. I walk a lot, and everywhere, so this activity is second nature. There is also a fenced dog park, separated by size of dog. This is fine for training, exercise, and securing the dogs from traffic. Your dog's sleeping arrangement My preference is to have the dog sleep in a crate, either in our bedroom or the porch adjacent to our room. This depends a lot on the wishes of the dog's guardian. We sleep with a door open to the back yard, and the dog would have access at any time. After several months experience with Rover dogs, we find they sleep on their own bed and often walk into the yard during the night. Time I'll spend with your dog I am retired and have few obligations. I will be with the dog all day, every day.
