Cat Sitters in El Cajon, CA

Jae

Jaelyn did a great job and provided much love for our pups. Jaelyn was very communicative and self sufficient and followed our requests. We came back to a very clean home and tired pups!

Patricia

Patricia is the best! I think this is her 5th sit for us? She’s super reliable and I know the kitties are in good hands while we’re away.

Tiffany

Tiffany was a delight, it was obvious she had a deep love of all animals. My menagerie of dog, cats, horse and cows were all well taken care of and happy. We would welcome her back to housesit in a heartbeat.

Shruti

Shruti was amazing!! We've never seen our puppy get so excited to meet someone before. :) She was very communicative throughout the stay, took Chowder on long walks, and sent lots of great photos. We'd love to have her stay again!

Kevin & Sarah

Kevin and Sarah have taken care of Linus and Cooper multiple times. They are officially, their second set of parents. Through sickness and in health, they have taken excellent care of them (the dogs’ health, that is). There are no more superlatives to use- they are simply the best!

Galen

Galen far exceeded our expectations with our pup! He went above and beyond in his care for our dog. He took him to get groomed and even worked on Cujo’s training and ability to follow commands. We could tell they formed a real bond. He was very responsive, sent updates, and our house was spotless upon our return. A thousand percent would work with again.

Grant & Monica

Grant and Monica were very communicative and their experience showed through in how organized they were! Frankie and Gizmo were well taken care of and Grant made sure that I had no concerns. They were patient with my shy pups and gave them the space and time they needed to get comfortable. I would absolutely hire them to watch my little ones again!

Martha

I loved having Martha. She herself being cat mom helped being able to do handover very smoothly and she communicated with me very well and often. Most importantly she sent me many cat pictures and videos which I love about with sitter quality. I’d have her anytime again!! Thanks Martha!

Sabine

Sabine was a fantastic sitter! She took great care of our two cats and sent very cute updates. She was easy to coordinate with and was flexible when we had a last minute scheduling change to our trip. She went above and beyond to leave our house in excellent condition. Highly recommend Sabine and would love to have her sit for us again!!

Christie & Vienna

Christie and her husband and daughter took great care of Jules and Gus. They accepted the sit last minute, met with us in person the day before we left for our trip, and sent us pictures of the cats while we were away. They left the house spotless and even washed the bedding they used. While I was not able to meet them in person, my husband was and said they were a lovely family. We would be happy to have them pet sit again!

Kelly & Matthew

10/10 great sitters!

Makayla

Juana helped with the sit with Makayla, and she was absolutely fantastic!! She took such great care of our pets and our house, had great communication, and was very self sufficient! She was so friendly and sweet, we knew our pets were in such great hands while we were gone. We came home to a very clean house and happy animals :) we’d recommend her to anyone!!

Marcus

Abby was absolutely amazing! A super last minute sit and she was really accommodating, communicative, clean and helpful!

Would 100% ask Abby to sit again and definitely recommend to others!

Ana Margarida

Colin is an experienced, reliable and excellent sitter.
The communication was easy, clear and organized from the very beginning. He was able to meet us the day before our departure, which we think is important for a smooth transition. 
He send us detailed updates and photos daily. We were relaxed during the holidays, knowing the cat was doing great. 
Our international flight was changed last minute and Colin was very kind to accommodate this.
When we came back the cat was happy and relaxed and the house was perfectly cleaned and organized. Colin also took great care of our plants and was so kind to receive groceries we order online the day before our arrival.
Colin is a detail oriented person. What makes him different from most sitters we have met before is that one can tell he puts great care and love in his work as catsitter. We would have been very lucky to meet Colin again in the future. Highly recommended!
