“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 grew up with dogs and recently lost my best friend, a corgi, Teddy. As a long time dog-owner, I understand how much anxiety goes into leaving your dog with someone else. I will treat your dog/s as if they were my own. I have much experience with aging / elderly dogs and dogs with special needs (dogs with leash aggression, anxiety, allergies, and prosthetic limbs/wheel chairs). My goal is to get to know you and your dog, and provide tailored service to meet your wants and your furry loved one's needs. I am happy to provide updates and pictures of our time together too! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Please reach out if you have any additional questions for me! Thank you! I work from home, which allows for frequent walks, potty breaks and play time! Both the dogs and myself appreciate the breaks within the day! I have a fenced in yard and multiple ring cameras to ensure everyone's safety. Neighboring houses do not have dogs; it is a quiet and peaceful environment.

About: Thank you for considering me. I have grown up with several pets, some being dogs, cats, birds, rodents, various farm animals and even my family’s tortoise. Through my junior and senior years of high school I volunteered then worked at a vet a boarding clinic; there I cared for numerous dogs and cats including newly born kittens. I am available for drop in visits, dog walking, and overnight and or full day care. I am able to care for animals of all ages and breeds (including dog bully breeds). I love caring for animals, and your pets health and comfort is my top priority; under my care, your pet will feel the same love and care you give them every day I am actively an online college student so my schedule is quite open. I am available weekends and weekdays. I am open to same day scheduling though it is not guaranteed, but i will do my best to fit you in. I offer only the best care, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you are away. I will always follow your pets routine and keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages. I know the stress of finding a pet sitter, that’s why I work on yours and your pets schedule.

“Here’s a smoother, more polished version: Kara was amazing! This was Plato’s first Rover experience, and he had such a great time with her. She met us at the location and took wonderful care of him. Kara is incredibly kind, communicative, and attentive. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby!”

About: Hi, my name is Mollie! Growing up with a household of rescue animals taught me the joys of pet care, and I understand the patience and love some furrever friends need to feel safe. I've been caring for pets of my own and others for 2+ decades. Rest assured, I have a wealth of love for animals of all shapes and sizes, regardless of their needs. I currently have a 9 yr old mini aussie named Olive, she's my sidekick and we do everything together! I rescued her as a puppy and had the opportunity to train her from infancy. She is a ball of fun and happy to tag along on visits if you feel your pet could use some socializing or a little help with training (our puppy clients love to learn by olive’s example, and senior clients find she’s a fantastic snuggle partner). I guarantee safety and security for pets of all sizes, and Olive and I are accommodating to any regimen/schedule your furry friend might be accustomed to. I just moved from LA to Napa and I’m in the process of pivoting careers so while I’m between full time jobs, I have extra time to spend with your furry friend! For extended stays, I request that my sidekick, Olive, tags along. Olive is an excellent companion and loves animals, people, and fuzzy toys (she hugs them like a friend) ! She can snuggle with your senior, run/play with your puppy, she even leads by example and can be helpful to some clients who are in training with their pups!

“Julie is GREAT! She’s proactive, a great communicator, super sweet, and takes amazing care of my pup, Archer. She always sends a lot of pics to put me at ease and for our enjoyment! 😊 Highly recommend Julie for your pet care needs!”

About: Hi there! My name is Jesse, I'm a young professional working from home full-time, so I can provide around the clock companionship and care. I love having some extra company! I love to get outside and go for walks and hikes, but I'm always happy to laze on the couch a bit too. I have one dog, Minnow, a year old, 30 lb mixed breed dog who is very friendly and loves to play. As a teenager I worked in boarding facilities and veterinary offices for a combined 6 years. I've experienced working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and with all kinds of medical conditions and behaviors. I understand dog body language and psychology quite well. I have experience administering oral medications and insulin, basic grooming, obedience and reactivity training, and puppy/senior care. I have previously fostered puppies in my home, and raised my dog Minnow since she was 8 weeks old. I love all breeds from small to large, and anywhere in between! I have a very flexible work schedule. I often have weekend plans but am able to accommodate with notice. I do have one dog who I am the primary caretaker of. I live in St. Helena and love to take walks in the vineyards surrounding my neighborhood or over to Crane Park. I live with my boyfriend (pictured) who often helps provide care. I am comfortable crating, doing basic training, administering medication, and handling reactive or timid dogs. My goal is always to establish trust, and I'll always give time for your pet to warm up to me first. I'll do my best to meet special requests and make sure your pets are comfortable and happy while you're away! I am able to stay overnight in your home with advanced notice. I can bring my dog or leave her home.

About: I am an avid dog lover;I have shared my entire life with Dogs and love that i can build a special bond with them. I believe in structure, trust and of course fun! Furthermore, I love spending time outdoors, going on walks/adventures that expand dogs experience and provided needed exercise! My dog traveled all over the world with me, and I wouldn't change it for the world. Finally, I am a professionally trained Chef and love to share my skills & knowledge by cooking for dogs and creating treats that are nutritious, safe and fun; I am currently working part-time and therefore have a lot of free time to spend time with your furry friends and work-in exercise as well, if needed. I love detailed instructions from pet owners so that I do not disturb their pets routine and standards. I am, however, great at thinking on my feet and understanding dog body language. Additionally, I am experienced in setting up routines as well and following-thru consistently in order to help where it is needed most.

About: I have two dogs of my own & would love to have more. Caring for other dogs lets me do just that! I love to play, walk & give ❤️ to other dogs! 🐶🐕‍🦺🦮🐕🐩 I work remote & am home most of the day. Taking breaks to help other pets lets me get away from my desk/work & get some exercise. I have flexible time / availability too! We have a nice outdoor deck & nearby parks to play at. I keep dogs on leash when away from my home. And can follow any other needs pet owners may have.

About: I grew up taking care of my family's dogs (feeding, bathing, walking, playing with) and I started cat sitting for neighbors when I was ten. I am currently working a part time job from my home, so I have a lot of flexibility to walk, feed, or watch your pets overnight. I won't be able to board animals in my house but because I have two dogs of my own I understand how precious our animals are and promise to treat your animals with the same love and care I treat mine with.

“Spencer has been amazing with our husky, Robin. From day one, he showed great dedication even taking Robin to the park, which Robin absolutely loves. He’s caring, reliable, and you can tell Robin adores him. We feel very comfortable with Spencer and highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve owned and lived with pets since I was a little girl. I love being around both dogs and cats and couldn’t imagine my life without animals. I’m currently working a full time position at a local coffee shop. I can make room in my schedule however to care for your pets. I have a large, fenced, property with lots of animals and lots of room to run around and play. Regarding clients homes I like if there’s a routine to go by

About: I grew up with two dogs with both behavioral and health issues, so I am experienced in caring for pets! I have also worked with animals outside of the home—I’ve worked at wildlife hospital as well as on a ranch! I am a recent college graduate getting settled into a new chapter of my life and looking for some fulfilling part time work. I currently take care of my dog at home and love going on walks, so I know I’ll enjoy working with other people’s pets. I am very adaptable and easy going, so will gladly work to meet your pet’s needs. I find myself to be kind and patient, which are some of the most important things when working with animals!

“Siarra was great! She took care of our dog Vinny like he was her own. I will definitely be booking Siarra again in the future. I would also recommend Siarra to any dog owner. We were even able to book her on short notice so that made our crazy life a little easier.”

Roberta M.

“I contacted Ronald last minute because I couldn't walk my dog, and even though we didn't have a chance to do a meet and greet, he was patient with my dog. We're excited about more walks with him in the future.”

Janine S.

“Marley was fantastic!! She was punctual, flexible, and very capable of taking care of my large breed dog! I would absolutely work with her again”

About: Hey there! I'm a gal who doesn't own a dog (just 3 cats!) who works from home some days of the week and is happy to take care of your pooch! I joke with my friends and family that I'm a kennel for their pups when they go out of town - why not help out other local friends! I have owned dogs my whole life but just don't have the time to own one currently so I'm happy to help out those that need someone to watch their fur baby! We have a wonderful large fenced yard in a quiet part of St. Helena. Your dog can have free access to the home and our fenced in yard. Quiet neighborhood next to vineyards where the pup can play! Happy to help you out - bring on the dogs! I love them all and am a fun and active person who will take wonderful care of your pet ( just ask my friends how obsessed I am with my cats Grover, Fat Freddy & Ralph!!). Thank you! I work from an office most days with the exception of event weekends and some evenings. I do sometimes have to leave during the day but your dog would be in a secure home with us. Fenced yard on the vineyard and close by lots of walking and vineyards. We do have 3 cats so I prefer your dog to be cat friendly or be able to take some hissing from them.

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.
