Pet Sitting Saint Helena

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 has been amazing over the past couple of weeks - looking in after our Twilight kittie while we had to be away. She has been so communicative, responsive, and caring. We are lucky to have found her.”

“Siarra was great. She checked on our two older cats over a weekend for us. Spent time with them, emptying litter boxes, feeding them and sending us some good pictures. I would definitely recommend her, and I’m sure we will use her again.”

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; Until the first week of August i am only available from 6 am - 1:30 pm for walks, drop ins and potty breaks. I can do a drop in and potty break after 9 pm as the last break before bed time, if needed. After the week of August, my schedule will be open. 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’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: My calm, compassionate demeanor brings me lots of animal buddies. Lifelong lover of cats and dogs and a curiosity for all other pets and wildlife. I’m a certified California naturalist with a strong understanding of our natural world. I’m a digital nomad so I’m very flexible with my schedule. It’s easy for me to give priority to your pet’s schedule for optimum care. I’m a trustworthy, conscientious person who will treat your home and pets with respect, care and a loving heart. I will do my best to make your pets feel at ease while you are away, and to follow their established routine.

“Jacqueline was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsive and timely, and she spent real quality time with my cats — you could tell she genuinely cared. The photos and updates she sent truly made my day while I was away. I cannot recommend her enough! I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands.”

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.

“Marion was very responsive and took great care of my pup! Would definitely recommend Her if you need pet sitting. So thankful to have met her and will definitely book again next time I am out of town or want to give my pup some activity when I am working long days.”

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.

“Luna is amazing! We had never used Rover before, but she made us feel so comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She was thorough, consistent, and communicated with us throughout the time we were out of town so we never had to worry about a thing. Luna is also very clearly an animal lover, which was really important to us because we knew she cared about our pet's wellbeing. We cannot recommend her enough!”

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 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 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.

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 previously worked at a specialty vet clinic that provided rehabilitation/physical therapy services to both cats and dogs. I cared for paralyzed canines, created care routines for geriatric animals, and became versed in a variety of different medical conditions. I also worked at a doggie daycare facility preparing specialty meals, administering meds, and controlling behavior in play yards. I am highly experienced in caring for animals and have owned cats and dogs my entire life. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own. I’m currently working part time while getting my Masters Degree at SSU. In Fall, I’ll have class Monday and Tuesday evening, as well as Thursday afternoon. I work at a school, so I’m available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings during the week and all day on weekends! I typically care for pets as if they are my own, unless there are specific instructions from you! This means taking time to play with them and getting their energy out so they’re not bored all day. Anything I can do to make them feel safe and calm, I will do to the best of my ability.

About: I have had pets in my home during my entire childhood, both dogs & cats! I have had 5+ years of experience with dogs & 10+ years with cats! I can help with longer pet sitting or just a quick midday walk! Im self-employed so I have a flexible schedule for pet feedings/walking & care! My main preference would be on weekends or weekdays before 10am or after 4pm! I dont have any other pets in my home so your fur baby will be safe! It would be perfect for a pup/cat that needs to be cared for individually! I have a fenced in yard as well for outdoor time!

“Barbara is experienced, intuitive, dependable and very caring. Our very picky cat responded well to her and she seemed to know exactly what he wanted or needed. She came twice a day at the times we agreed upon (even over the holidays) to feed him, give fresh water, change litter and take care of whatever else he was accustomed to. And to play with him, a lot! It was our first time leaving him with "strangers" , and of course we were nervous. But it all worked out very well and we were quite pleased with her. We're going to book Barbara again for another trip this year.”

About: I have over 15 years experience in the pet industry. I owned a dog daycare and grooming salon in Marin County and served 1500 dogs per week. I am mature, reliable and flexible. Flexible rates and loving care for your pet. I am returning to my first love of pet care after 13 years working in the culinary industry. I miss spending time playing with and nurturing animals. I am available for hourly pet companionship. When caring for your pet, I let them lead the way until we get to know each other, working with their comfort and sense of security. As we get to know each other, the relationship develops as all relationships do.

About: "Hello there! I've been an enthusiastic pet owner and animal lover throughout my life. Currently, I share my home with two wonderful dogs, Bean and Sprout, who have been my loyal companions for 16 and 12 years. While traveling or being away from home the care and attention our dogs get is a priority. I've been in situations where I thought I had to board Bean, and it turned into an epic disaster. At that moment, I wished there was a platform like this one to connect with trusted pet sitters. I believe in the significance of trusting someone with your cherished animals, and I'm here to provide the same care and love to your pets as I do for my own. Let me be your go-to pet sitter for peace of mind during your travels!" Care is based on your pet and their needs! I’ve had lazy pets that just want snuggles and active pets that need lots of walks and runs or I’ve cared for dogs with sever anxiety during thunderstorms - every pet has different needs. My schedule is their schedule! Having elderly pets I completely get that sometimes the best thing is for them to be in their own environment. If they stay with me, we treat them like our family!
