Cat Sitting in Winter Gardens

About: I grew up around both dogs and cats and have always genuinely loved animals. I’m an active person who enjoys long walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the amount of attention and affection I naturally give animals — I’m actually a pet portrait artist because of how much I love pets and connecting with their personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to each dog’s individual energy level and needs. I work part time as a pet portrait artist, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to include pet care throughout the weekdays. Because I create artwork from home, I’m able to provide dependable walks, check-ins, and attentive care during the day rather than only evenings or weekends. Spending time with animals is genuinely one of my favorite parts of my routine, so I enjoy making pet care a consistent and meaningful part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals, and affection based on their individual needs and energy level. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine, and I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and any special instructions you provide. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. From feeding my extended family’s pet to walking dogs and staying over night as an adult. Pet care is always a part of my daily routine. I have 2 indoor cats and 2 stray cats that come everyday to eat and lay around. I can easily make time to tend to other pets I tend to other pets with love attention, make them at ease as it can be a stressful time for pets when human parents are away from home.

“Kaitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She was there everyday I requested and did everything I asked during each visit. Loved the pictures! I would highly recommend her. Thank you, Kaitlyn!”

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.

About: Hello! I’m a sitter in Lakeside offering loving, attentive care! I’ve been a cat and dog mom my entire life and a foster parent for dogs of all ages and sizes for over 5 years—from gentle giants to tiny pups. I’m passionate about daily walks, potty breaks, and providing love and care. If your dog needs medications, I’m experienced and comfortable administering them safely! Happy to do a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! Best, Angelina Darling I’m a student learning from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day! Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, I will always provide walks, playtime, meals (and medication as needed) making sure your furry friends feel safe and loved!

About: I have about 10 years of house sitting experience. I am comfortable with all types of animal. From dogs and cats to turtles and chickens! I currently work in education on Monday-Friday 7:30-4pm. I am excited to do walks after work and snuggles in the evening. And lots of love and playing of the weekends. Safety is a top priority for me as well as updates. I love sending pictures of what we are up to and the fun we are having.

“Best Rover experience ever! Loren is amazing and flexible. I was impressed with how quickly Loren connected with my needy and special 100+ pound dogs. She sent lots of updates and pictures and allowed me to truly relax while on vaca, knowing they were cared for.”

About: I have been taking care of animals from small critters all the way to larger animals like horses for over 20 years. I am reliable and highly responsive. I will send photo updates, and make sure your pets are happy and well taken care of. I work part time outside of pet sitting and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to make sure your animals have the attention they need. I am able to care for your fur babies at your place, so they feel comfortable. This also minimizes stress instead of staying in a new environment

“Shelby and her husband Dalton were outstanding when sitting my two cute kitties for 10 days. I was very nervous to leave them for so long but Shelby was willing to meet them in advance which gave me peace of mind getting to know her prior to the scheduled dates. She was familiar with my neighborhood, understood my alarm system, and was great with my cats. During my time away, they were prompt, communicative, and responsive when I checked in. They took cute pics and played with my kitties. I could tell from what they sent me that my babies were happy when they visited. I’m truly thankful to have found someone who is reliable and accommodating. Especially since my furry loved ones are so important to me. I’d highly recommend Shelby and Dalton and will be continuing my relationship with them in the future.”

“Took very good care of our two cats while we were out of town. Really put effort into getting the shy one to come out of her shell.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have raised and helped raise multiple dogs from puppyhood, with experience across all sizes and energy levels. I’m confident caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors who may need extra patience and structure. What sets me apart is real-world experience and reliability. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. This flexibility enables me to provide dependable, attentive, and consistent care for your pets while accommodating scheduled visits as needed. At this time, I offer dog walking and drop-in visit services. I focus on providing safe, attentive, and enjoyable care while following each dog’s individual routine, energy level, and specific needs. My goal is to make every visit a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your pet.

“Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!”

About: I'm very accustomed to all kinds of dogs! From pups to elderly dogs, small to large I'm the right guy for the job. I've raised all 3 of my dogs from puppies along with helping friends with theirs. I have tons of experience in cleaning and keeping them busy so I am more then happy to help with watching pups! I also have experience with elderly dogs that require medical treatment, as long as I get a detailed explanation on the steps to help I'll be able to follow them perfectly. I also live with very large dogs so I have all the experience with how to handle them no problem. I'm currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to look over your pets! I am very willing to work weekends, weekdays, and holidays. I have 2 very friendly dogs while my third is pretty territorial so while I can make sure your dogs are safe and acclimate them to the others, I feel it would be best to stay at your house.

“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: Hello! I am 27 years old and I have a range of experience with many different breeds, personalities and sizes! In my past, I’ve had a Golden Retriever, a Lab, three Pitbulls, a Pit/Husky mix, an English bulldog and a Miniature Schnauzer. I have very personal experience with a reactive and anxious pup and am more than willing to take my time to build that trust. I've also obtained a Certification in Veterinary Assistance and with my range of experience combined, I'm easily able to navigate through emergency situations and regular daily medical routines. Though I no longer practice Vet Med, I continue to stay updated with new techniques and treatments in order to stay proficient. I am currently in Pilot Training here in California to become a Commercial Pilot. Due to my training, I am unavailable my schedule changes weekly but able to give a notice a week in advance. I'm otherwise super flexible and am willing to come out same day! I unfortunately can't keep any pets in my home but willing to drive to you! My personal experience with the different breeds of dogs I’ve had in my lifetime has made me more than qualified for this position. I’m just looking for a part time job that I can enjoy, nothing better than being around a furry friend! ***For July dates and on, I am at the end of my training here in San Diego and will be relocating after. Because of that, I will not be able to give a set answer on my availability until mid June*** I'm currently unemployed during training so I'm basically free almost everyday. I get my schedule a week in advance so I'm able to give that much of a notice or if far enough in advance, I'm able to put in a request in my training schedule to accommodate to your pet's needs. But I have many hours after to spare throughout the week for a long walk or a drop in! If in dire need, I can walk/drop in around 6am. Please try to give a 2 hour notice just in case for traffic reasons 😊 Again, I unfortunately cannot have any pets in my home but I'm more than happy to drive out and take my time to ensure that your pet gets all the attention and exercise they need!

“Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)”
