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.
“This is our second time with Kaitlyn. She watched our puppy last time and this time she watched our cats while we were out of town. She sent us updates everyday with lots of photos. She is very reliable and took great care of our cats. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“Loren was so great and helpful while we were traveling! She was responsive the entire time we were gone and she gave our kitty the meds she needs every day. She gave them treats and looked after them with lots of care, we will absolutely contact her again should the need arise :)”
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.
“Another amazing trip because of Shelby and Dalton taking care of our fur babies. We never have to worry because they take extra care of our cats. They are so scared of everyone and they were holding our little girl before the trips end!”
“Jordan was amazing! Our cat was clearly very well attended to, and it showed. Never before have we gone on a trip and NOT been violently accosted upon entering our home. Ginger is usually not satisfied until she has drawn my blood, and she is instead purring and headbutting me lovingly. Only affection from this fuzzy demon, which means she was well looked after.”
“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!”
“Mariela did a phenomenal job taking care of the doggies. She is professional, on time, and goes beyond expectations. We will definitely ask for her again. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I’ve had about 13 dogs of different breeds in my lifetime. Every dog that I’ve had in my life still carry on in my heart. I was responsible for all of my dogs and made sure to attend to their needs in a safe manner. I’m able to work any day of the week as long as it’s 8-3pm. I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.
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.
About: Hey everyone! My name is Donatella and I grew up with animals, they are not only a part of my life but my family. I adore dogs and cats for I have 2 of each and they are a blessing. My goal is make you feel sure and safe that your companion is in safe and capable hands with me. I will provide them with all the love and care they need. I will make sure to provide exercise, play time, feeding and that they are comfortable in my home. I adore dogs and it will be such a great opportunity to be able to take care of your pets. I hope to hear from you guys soon and please know they will be in great hands.
About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs, and have raised my own for the last 15 years! I love animals of all kinds, and spend my free time bringing my dog wherever he can go- the beach, hikes, parks, you name it! I would treat your beloved fur babies the same way I treat mine. My dog also gets along great with other dogs, just happy to have someone to play with. My neighbors in my courtyard also all have dogs, and they often all play outside together. I am a teacher, so I get home before 4pm every day. My days are quick, and I'll be home with the dogs for hours on end. On the weekend, I will spend my time outside reading, while the dogs play and bask in the sun. I live in a new apartment building in El Cajon. Im a teacher so I’m home for the summer, and I love bringing them on long walks.
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.
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: Hello! I’ve house sat and cared for animals of all ages, including households with multiple cats and dogs, as well as exotic pets. I grew up with a pet husky and miniature poodle, and have experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work in the morning/ early afternoon as a Barista ~20 hours a week. I am generally free early morning (before 8am), and afternoon-nighttime. I am off ~3 days a week (usually between Monday-Thursday) during which I can give extra time and attention to pet-care. I have years of experience caring for and walking all kinds of dogs and am very attentive to the emotions and needs of each animal.
“Amber was absolutely awesome. My 2 Dobermans felt so comfortable with her, she gave me updates every time she was there feeding/walking them, also sent updated pictures of them. We are so grateful and happy to finally found someone to care for our pups while we are away. 10 ⭐️”

Ashley is my go to cat sitter! I appreciate her flexibility, love and wisdom for animals, and her kind personality. Sola loves her! She takes pictures - keeping me abreast of what’s Sola is up to. I love the cuddle pictures… warms my heart knowing Sola feels safe, loved, and comfortable when I am away. I’m grateful that I’ve found Ashley -knowing Sola is in good hands lessens my worries when I travel!!
Rubie did a wonderful job taking care of my boys while I was away. She made sure they were fed every day, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing with them so they stayed happy. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. I will absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
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!
Shelby and Dalton were amazing! They did an initial meet and great with our cat prior to the scheduled drop in visits. They were thorough during the visits and were very good sports when our cat was being feisty. They even brought out/in our trash bins when asked. Would definitely recommend.
This is the first time I used Rover. We were very last moment and Sabrina was awesome. I have 3 cats with one needing insulin twice daily. Everything went perfectly. She worked with us to time the medication and feeding schedule. She was able to get my 2 skittish kitties to play with her and not run and hide as they usually do. I would definitely recommend her and will try to rebook her in the future.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Winter Gardens on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
