Pet Sitting in El Cajon

“Maureen is beyond helpful, kind and knowledgeable when it came to taking care of my cat Kolo. I received very detailed updates on how he was doing and many useful pieces of information to better take care and make him more comfortable. Maureen really went out of her way to make Kolo feel comfortable, and even brought him toys, treats and a gift that I will cherish for a long time. I will be using her services again and feel very blessed to have had her take care of my cat. Would highly recommend to anyone!!”

“Trinity took in our request for drop in visits for our 2 dogs while we were away for the Memorial weekend. She did exceptionally well and did things the same way we do with our dogs with their daily routine. Trinity gave us the peace of mind while we were on our trip and kept us updated on how our dogs were doing. She even went the extra step to grab something for us at the store to treat our dog. Highly Recommend using her services and would definitely be using Trinity’s services again. Thank You Trinity.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for caring for dogs. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15 years old, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior companions. I’ve personally house trained all of my own dogs growing up, so I’m very comfortable with helping reinforce good habits and routines. In addition to puppy training, I’m also attentive to the special needs of senior dogs, including slower-paced walks, medication schedules, and making sure they’re comfortable and well-cared for. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine! I have a hybrid work schedule, which means I'm home most of the week and only go into the office two days. This allows me to be present and attentive, giving pets the love, care, and attention they need throughout the day—whether it’s for walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love incorporating pet care into my everyday life. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I tailor my care based on the pet’s routine and needs, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, giving medication, going on regular walks, or simply spending quality time playing or cuddling. When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. For in-home visits or house sitting, I’m respectful of my client’s space and aim to keep things as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible to help reduce stress while their owner is away. No matter the setting, I focus on clear communication, reliable care, and lots of love to give pet parents peace of mind.

“Makenzie was great! She was eager to help and very responsive via the chat. I booked her several weeks before I needed her to come help out and made the time to meet in person right away. She reached out to me a week before our scheduled visits to make sure everything was still good to go. She’s very organized and motivated. During her visits with my pups she was detailed with notes and sent tons of photos. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: Being around dogs since childhood, I'm very sensitive to their needs. As a prior dog owner myself, I've dealt with several situations, in working with dogs during rehab, caring for a dog with special needs and adapting to senior care. I have also taken care of dogs for friends and coworkers. For the time being, my services come as a package deal. Please only book if your dog is for certain comfortable with toddlers. My child has been exposed to different dogs, including larger dogs such as a lab, and he knows to be respectful and give them their space. There will be no tail pulling, taunting or any other form of bullying permitted while we are with your pet, as we are to be gentle with all animals. For shorter drop-ins or walks I can have my child secured in a hiking backpack. Currently, I/we are best available for weekend sits, though weekend or evening walks and check-ins are also available. We are also available for longer stays if your pet is used to you being at work during the week. We'd love the opportunity to get puppy love when when possible. First and foremost, I understand that every pet is different, with unique needs, temperaments and personalities. Some are just fine while their owner is away, while others may display anxious behavior during this time. It is my goal that no matter what they experience, that they be as comfortable as possible. Of course I would be mindful of what your pets are and are not allowed... in my own experience, I was never one to give my dog human treats unless it was a very special occasion, so I can be respectful and understanding of any rules specific to your preference for your dog(s). I am happy to take them outside, drive them to a nearby park if that is something you are comfortable with, I think communication when it comes to your loved one is key.

About: Hello, my name is Angela. I live in the El Cajon area. I have had several cats, a miniature dachshund, and now a 8 year old black lab named, Wallie! My dachshund lived to be 17, was blind, and had several health issues towards the end of her life, so I have experience and can care for senior animals and blind dogs or cats. I am available and flexible on most weekends to care for your cat or dog (or both) for either drop in visits and/or daily walks. I will gladly take care of your pet morning and night. I can do walks, play time, and of course meal times. I have done various house visits to family and friends to care for their fur babies when needed. I will send you pictures and videos while you are away to ensure you that your pet is cared for.

About: I have had pets my whole life and I have learned to feed them and take care of them. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to walk their dogs and also watch out for them when needed. I currently do not have a job so I will be available any day to walk or take care of any dogs. Things might change once I get a job but for now I am available any time. I have a fenced yard and many treats I give to my dogs when needed. I have care with food and water bowls as well as dog walking experience.
