Beautiful, comfortable Napa home
Introduction
We've always had family members house sit for us, however, they have gone off to college or moved away:) Someone suggested we try Trusted Housesitters, so we thought we'd give it a try. We live in Napa Valley. My husband grew up here and I grew up in Santa Clara, CA.
Show more...Home & location
Our house is in beautiful Napa Valley. We have a fabulous neighborhood, everyone is friendly and it's very safe. It feels like you are in the country, but the house is close to everything. We are just outside the city limits of Napa, 1 block from the Napa Valley Country Club. We are on a hill so the views are wonderful. You can see Mt. St. Helena. There is a pool and a garden that you could enjoy!
Show more...Responsibilities
We have 1 lab and 2 cats. Our dog will need to be fed twice a day. Once between 6-7:30am and once between 3-4pm We usually excercise her twice a day, either walking her or throwing the ball. She sleeps in our bedroom on her floor cushion. Cats are very self reliant. They have a cat door, self feeder and drink out of the dog bowl outside. Mostly just need to give them lots of pets and cuddles. Water outdoor pots every other day. Bring in the mail every day and take trash cans out on Wed. In the summer, we'd ask that you enjoy the fruits & veggies of our garden and the pool!

Hilary and her family were a real pleasure to interact with – easygoing, accommodating, and communicative. Hilary provided ample instructions in advance and responded to real-time questions as they arose. Their bright airy home is in a lovely hillside setting. I looked out over a vineyard while washing dishes and loved hearing cows and chickens in the distance as I worked. The grounds provide plenty of space for their two lovable, amusing, and energetic labs. Young Blaze is aptly named. I couldn’t believe how quickly she darted up the hill after the balls I chucked and then down the hill when she dropped them at my feet and I wasn’t quick enough to pick them up. She’s young enough not to know her own limits, and as soon as she caught her breath from one session of fetch, she was ready for another! And she so adored attention that she prioritizes that over food and had a rapt look whenever I pet her head. Where Blaze is the goofball, Shouka is the portly elder statesman. Hilary’s two little kitties loved to rub up against his chin, something I rarely see. While he couldn’t last as long as Blaze, Shouka was still game as often as she was to play fetch. And I was touched how he wanted to be wherever I was. He’s a sweet, super soft, appreciative, but completely undemanding fellow. I thoroughly enjoyed caring for the gang and highly recommend the opportunity to others.
