Dog Walkers in Saint Helena, CA

About: I am a former Zookeeper and Vet Assistant, with a degree in Zoo Animal Technology. Now providing loving, reliable care, and let's not forget adventures, for your critters. Puppies, kittens, seniors; housesits, walks, drop in's, administering medications, I've got you covered. I am currently taking care of pet friends full time. I do my best to adhere to their routines, to ensure a safe, fun, stress free environment. If a pet schedule needs to be altered, it will be discussed with you first. When in pet client homes, your rules and preferences will be followed. And since I am a full time critter sitter, the fur kids will be given lots of attention. I was also reminded on a daily basis growing up, that I wasn't raised in a barn. No messes will be left!

“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: 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: 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.

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: 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.

“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: 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.

“Michaela is great with our pups. She’s punctual and responsive. We’ll continue to work with her.”

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.

“Sarah is thoughtful, diligent, and generous with the picture and video updates. We’re so lucky to have found her!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats since I was 5. We had medium sized dogs, 2 terrier mixes Benz & Benjamiah, and a poodle named Tracy. My grandparents had Irish Setters, Brandy & Rusty, who I spent my summers running and swimming with. We had a Siamese cat Coco, a domestic short haired named Butterscotch, a longhaired named Gati, and had 4 cats at one point- Strider, Waldon, Keelee & Kara. I even owned guinea pigs Albert & Lilac, a hamster I took over for a roommate named Einstein, and a beta fish Bebe lol. Do sea monkeys count lol? I give animals 100% attention, and make sure they feel loved and cared for. I love playing with cats with feather wands or laser pointers, and playing fetch and tug of war with dogs. I feel comfortable with animals to make sure they feel safe and am willing to try and help out with unwanted behavior. I have my cat Gizmo, who is more in retirement mode lounging about at the ripe old age of 20. I am currently able to pet sit full time. I have 2 regular clients that I walk their dogs 3 times a week, 1 client’s dogs I walk 5 times a week and 1 client’s dog I walk twice a week. I do my schedule every week and make it around the pet sitting, so they have priority, so it works for everyone. I make sure to get and follow instructions at my client's home for their pets. I let the pets sleep on the bed with me, and can drive dogs to different places to go for a walk if allowed. I can bring toys for cats if they don't have any to play with, most love catnip if allowed. I bring a collapsable water bowl for dog walks. I give them a lot of attention and love playing with pets. I make sure I know the commands the owner's use so I use the same ones. I give pets a lot of affection, and being a massage practitioner, I do give good rubs and pets, feeling where they could use it, and where they like it as well. They usually look forward to my return, remembering the time I spent with them with their tail wags and excitement on my return. I can send photos of pets, even videos, and don't mind client's checking in while they are gone. I am detail oriented and pay attention to what the pets are doing, like habits, and share that with the owners. I’m used to cleaning dogs paws or drying them off if its been muddy/rainy. Also getting off any eye crust.

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.

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!

“From the moment we met Peter, we immediately felt at ease. He has a calm, confident energy and quickly tuned in to our boys’ personalities and temperament. Peter asked thoughtful questions and paid attention to the details to make sure he could provide the best care possible. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: I have experience in dog and cat sitting for multiple nights for about two years now. I have experience with dogs that require long walks and cats that need to be monitored during the day. I currently work part time, therefore I am available most week days. At the moment, I am only available to walk dogs on my free time and house sit if necessary. I like taking dogs on long walks or runs if they are capable. I usually give pets their space when they are relaxing at home.

About: I’ve been an animal owner and lover my entire life! I’ve cared for many breeds of dogs, cats, chickens, goats, horses, llamas, and more! I’ve also volunteered for a local rescue organization and fostered many animals. I’m comfortable giving medications and would love to take your dog on walks, runs or hikes! I’m self employed as a photographer so my schedule varies greatly but I have lots of flexibility! I’m a professional and will treat your pet’s care as my best client! Since I work for myself, I control my schedule so I can accommodate yours! Anyone that knows me knows that I care for my animals like my family! I will care for yours the same way! I’m communicative, organized and will treat your home with the utmost respect!

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.
