Your Dog's Dream Vineyard Vacation

Pet care experience

Hello pawrents! Thank you for considering our family. My husband Cesar, our Boston Terrier Harley, Mini Aussie rescue Ginger and I would love to care for your pet while you are away. We live on a private vineyard in Calistoga, CA with plenty of room to play and run around. We take daily walks morning and night around the property in addition to frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Harley is an eight year old Boston Terrier who loves to play as much as he loves to nap. So whether your dog is a high-energy breed or a relaxed senior, Harley will match your dog’s energy level. He can be your doggo’s BFF or give them space as needed. He loves a fellow squishy face and often falls in love with the pugs that stay and play with us. He loves to make friends and will be as excited to see you as your dog during pickup. Harley works as much as we do to take care of your dog by frequently requesting potty or stretch breaks outside, enforcing meal times, warming up doggy beds for guests, and digging plenty of toys out of the basket. He has been a dog sitter himself nearly his whole life. Harley has three sisters who have joined our pack. We've adopted a young Mini Australian Shepherd named Ginger. She's super playful, but she is still very fearful of other humans. You will probably not meet her, but you might hear her upon your arrival. We are working to build her confidence and help her to feel safe. Thank you for your understanding during this training! Harley also has two human sisters! Both are still quite young, and we have procedures in place to everyone safe while ensuring all of our dogs are integrated into our family with our home-style of sitting. Mandi has been caring for dogs while their pawrents are away for 17 years. She has emergency/animal CPR training and experience with medications and senior dog care. Cesar has been a dog walker for 7 years in addition to caring for dogs in our home. With our schedules, typically someone is always home, but if that is a requirement for your dog’s care please let us know ahead of time. In addition to Rover's insurance, we have a 3rd party insurance policy because your dog's care is our priority. OUR POLICIES 1) Sorry ladies, spayed females only (exception: puppies under 4 months) | Unneutered males are welcome! 2) Please coordinate with us and book an appointment. We don’t allow pickups or dropoffs before 8:00am or after 6:30pm. Please text/call 15-30 minutes before arriving for pickup or dropoff. Text upon arrival. 3) Must be current on all shots, flea/tick and heart medications. Vet records requested. 4) Photos of your dog taken at our home during their stay will be posted to our social media, Rover and used for promotion. By booking with us, you agree to allow us to share your adorable dog's photos! NEXT STEP: If you would like to book an upcoming stay with us, simply click the “Contact Mandi M.” button above and follow through Rover’s booking portal. Rover offers a safe way to book, pay and communicate with us. The stay is not booked until both the Rover sitter and the dog pawrents confirm. So if you would like to chat more with Mandi before booking, you can do so by sending me a booking request via the “Contact Mandi” button. Please contact Mandi with any questions! WHAT TO PACK: Please bring a collar/harness, leash and any clothes if needed (sun shirt or coat) and food. We have plenty of beds, bowls and BarkBox toys to keep your dog happy and comfortable. If your dog is crate trained, we have a few of our own crates.

My dog always loves his time with Mandi and Cesar. I am a repeat booker with them since I know Jefe is well cared for and always tuckered out after some active time there!

Safety, trust & environment

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. We utilize crates when needed to keep dogs separated during mealtimes and when unsupervised. 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.

Information Mandi M. would like to know about your pet

We would love to know if your dog has any allergies, medical or behavioral concerns. Don't worry—these concerns will not deter us from sitting your dog. We just appreciate the heads up so that we can be prepared to provide the best possible care for your dog. We would like to know if your dog is spayed (required) or neutered, potty trained, crate trained and any fun tricks they can do. We would also like to know your dog's current schedule for feedings, walks and potty breaks so that we can be mindful and stick to their schedule. Lastly, if your dog has any special needs or preferences.

A typical day

We are looking forward to hanging out with your pet! We take daily walks around the property. If your dog is a swimmer, your pup is welcome to join us in our private pool (with pawrents approval of course). We are monthly BarkBox subscribers and always have the latest dog toys. Dogs are allowed on furniture, but we are happy to accommodate any rules that you maintain at home. We are insured by a 3rd party provider in addition to Rover's insurance because your dog's care is our priority!
