Cat Sitting Dehesa

“Sarah will be staying this weekend for dog sitting and I wanted her and him to get used to each other. He was a bit nervous but she stayed with him and tried her best to make him comfortable. They will be friends eventually!”

About: Been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager. Experienced in pets, cuddles, mess clean ups, walks and giving medicine as needed! Can't wait to meet your pet! My schedule is open for helping take care of your critters! I am available throughout the day most days to provide the needed care for your cats and dogs! When caring for pets in someone else's home, it is really important to follow the standards set forth by the pet owners. Most pets have a set routine and it is important to stick with their routine while providing lots of love and attention.

About: I grew up with many pets and learned how to care for them exceptionally well. I understand giving them boundaries and having fun playing with them are both keys to great care. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as I am a very active person who loves exploring as much as your dog does! When I started pet sitting about 15 years ago I found I had a gift for helping dogs and cats who have a hard time adjusting when their owners are away. I also specialize in senior care as I’m willing to do anything needed to help your dog or cat be comfortable, eat well, and feel loved. I interact with each one as the unique individual they are. Let me know all about your pet’s personality and special needs so I can be the closest thing to having you at home as possible. I’m currently in school a couple days a week and have flexible work which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups during the week and on weekends. I only care for pets at your home. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule to be there when needed. I can also do overnight house and pet sitting if needed.

“Kaitlyn was amazing with my cats while I was out of town! She went over and above and was communicative with me while I was gone. I’d recommend her to anyone! I’ll definitely be using her in the future.”

“Marla was a super kind and caring drop in carer. She was responsive and sent me great photos of her with my baby. She was on time and professional with me! Would 100% use her services again.”

“Michaela is awesome!! She is very in tune with my dog’s behavior. She is kind and takes lots of cute pictures of my pups. And great at leaving detailed report cards.”

Rachel T.

“Melissa did a great job taking care of Daisy. This was her first time being watched by a cat sitter alone since our sweet Elmer passed away. Melissa made sure to find her every visit and send me pictures of her hiding spots. She was very communicative every step of the way and it was a huge relief for me to be able to rely on her to look after Daisy while I was gone.”

Alyssa K.

“Bree, was very thorough she came in on time played with Birdie and took care of everything requested. I will definitely request her services when I leave for my next vacation.”

“Our first time with Bobbie and she was great. Very attentive and communicative. We already booked her for another trip. Could not recommend more !”

Larry A.

“Nate and Ray are the absolute best! I feel so much peace at work knowing that my pups are being taken care of. I have one dog with pretty bad separation anxiety and having Nate and Ray stop in has been life changing. I used to dread coming home from work and cleaning up the destruction from my dogs, but now I come home to two tired pups with no accidents in the house. Thank you so much!”

“Tahniiyah was very communicative and responsive to the needs of my senior cat. It was clear that she wanted to ensure I had peace of mind while I was away from home.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have over 9 years of experience training service dogs of all ages. Through my training experience, I have worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, helping them build confidence, learn new skills, and receive the care they need. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with a wide variety of dogs and my ability to adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. I have also cared for my own foster dog, which taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment for every animal. I am comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy while you're away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, medication, or simply lots of love and companionship, I am committed to providing the highest quality care. I pride myself on being warm, friendly, dependable, and attentive. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like family and receive plenty of affection, enrichment, and personalized care. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free. 🐾 I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to play with pups! I’m super flexible and can fit in almost anything in my schedule! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious home with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have an 8-month-old service dog in training who is extremely friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys being around other dogs. With over 9 years of experience training service dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, reinforcing positive behaviors, and providing attentive care. I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and make sure each dog feels comfortable in their environment. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication administration, and any special requests. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners while providing regular updates and communication throughout their stay.

About: Leaving your pet can be incredibly stressful, and leaving them with someone unknown can be even more so. I remember having a puppy and feeling so guilty going to work, always checking pet cameras to make sure she was okay, and then sighing when I saw her potty accidents that I'd have to clean later. I've had dogs my whole life from chihuahuas to pitties so I've learned a ton when it comes to animals. To me, each dog has a personality and I love learning about each one. Luna (white dog) is sassy, loud, and energetic whereas Aria (tan lab) is a huge (literally) lap dog who sleeps all the time. I'm very well equipped to handle dogs with medical circumstances as I have a blind senior chihuahua who has a seizure disorder and takes daily medication. I like to meet dogs before drop ins/walks/stays to not only learn their personality and preferences, but ensure they feel comfortable around me too. I will check in with you on how you want me to keep you updated: lots and lots and LOTS of pictures or maybe just one here and there so you can enjoy your day. I like to maintain your and your dogs boundaries and respect while providing an enriching environment with lots of attention so they feel okay without you there. If you have any questions or concerns I am always happy to talk more (: I am a new masters student at San Diego state university for psychology and as much as it would help to pay for school, it also gives me a huuuge stress reliever throughout the busy weeks. I only have classes in the afternoon and work a second part time job, so my hours are mostly on weekends (for your weekend trips!) with some flexibility during the week. I enjoy having some time away from my computer for a walk and fresh air and your dog is welcome to join! Communication is key, as they say! You know your pet best and I like spending some extra time learning about their personality, preferences, and party tricks! I've had some behavioral training with dogs and reactivity so I like to respect boundaries to ensure there is no bad moments with your pet. I have house sat numerous times and keep a clean place, especially if it's not my own space. For walks, I've had a reactive dog in the past and know how scary some moments can be. Safety is my highest priority for you and your pet, easily followed by having a blast.

About: I grew up with a dog and a cat and recently have got a dog of my own who is very much like a son to me. I absolutely love taking care of him and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans a few months ago, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 Right now, dog sitting is my full time job so I am dedicated to giving your pets the most attentive care I can. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for the past 6 years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🥹 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.

About: I grew up with two dogs and my parents currently own a cat, I’ve always loved animals since I was a child. My favorite things was learning training for puppies and staying consistent as they grow, and learning how to take care of dogs when they get older and making sure they have comfortable oldie years. I work Tuesday-Saturday until 2:30 and am off Sundays and Mondays. I can fit pet care in the evenings those days and any other time on Sundays and Mondays! I always make sure I know their routine, favorite activities and foods, any training specifics families have, and that they are always in the best care.

“I've had Kat come visit my pets several times and she is just GREAT! My 70-pound dog goes nuts with excitement when visitors come and Kat took him in stride and was able to get him calmed down pretty quickly. When she's stopped in to visit my shy kitty she was able to coax him out of hiding in just a few minutes. She knew exactly how to deal with the two very different personalities!!”

About: I've had pets my whole life, and I've always been considered the animal whisperer of my family. I've owned and cared for cats, dogs, birds (parakeets + cockatiels), freshwater fish, toads, ferrets, and event rats! I'm very in tune and informed on common health issues or changes in behavior that may indicate health problems I just recently moved to the El Cajon area and would love to care for your pets :) My availability is currently fully open! Feel free to message me with any concerns or questions! I'm currently job searching since I'm new to California, so my schedule is very open/flexible to any odd times you may need. I'm comfortable with adapting to however you would prefer your pets are looked after and cared for. I'm also happy to help accommodate any current training you may be implementing to help the process. Rest assured your pet will be cared for as if they were my own.

“Ashley is AWESOME. We’ve trusted her with our kitties a few times. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin shots - Ashley is so knowledgeable, and we feel so comfortable leaving our kitties in her care. We’re so fortunate to have her support.”

About: Your dogs will be able to go to the dog park and given treats for good deeds. They'll be able to play with toys and have a constant water supply. I am open to washing and grooming the dog as well if you ask. They will get all my attention. Regarding to my schedule, I go to college everyday at 2pm and I arrive home at different times each day. I am completely available during the weekends. I have had experience before of dog sitting and the owner can vouch for me that I did a great job. I walked the dog, cleaned up their business, made sure the house was tidy, I grabbed their mail when they asked, and more. Your dog will be well taken care of.
