“Lissi was very caring and thorough in taking care of our 10 month old puppy today. She was attentive to Gracie's needs and even took her for a little run and did some training, which was above and beyond. And she stayed a few minutes late because I was delayed in getting home from my state park job.”
“Jack was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for our Annie girl. This was the first time we had ever used Rover and Jack made this the best possible experience. He provided lots of updates, sent us lots of pictures and we could tell that he genuinely cared for and loved our girl while we were gone. Not once did we worry about how she was doing while she was in Jack's care. We came back to our apartment looking better than when we left it, could not tell we had a sitter there at all, more like we had a house cleaner come by. Would recommend Jack to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, loving and responsible dog sitter. Will 100% book with Jack again when the time comes.”
“Riley is amazing!! She went above and beyond. 45 minute walks twice a day for 2 dogs. The house was exactly as we left it. She sent tons of pics and videos. Very communicative. Would absolutely recommend and will ask for Riley’s service again!”
“Kat is the best! She has stayed at my house with my senior/special needs dogs twice. I always feel very comfortable knowing my special babies are being taken care of. She is great about sending picture updates and asking questions if something isn’t clear. She even feeds my neighborhood feral cats for me. She is also respectful of my house and I have never had any issues.”
“Vyanh is a wonderful dog sitter. She sat for us for 3 days. She is responsible, punctual, kind, reliable, cleans most important our pups loved her. I will be requesting her services again. She provided updates and made an effort to walk our pups, play with them and connect with them!”
“My dog took a liking to Ali right away! I did also and feel she genuinely cares and is knowledgeable about animals. She sent cute updates and was clear in her schedule and communication. She was respectful of my space and I felt at ease knowing my pet was in good hands.”
“Becca is the best! She was very accommodating & flexible with our last minute housesitting request. She took great care of our pets & provided our dog all her medications per specific instructions. They received lots of attention & cuddle time. We felt more relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were being well taken care of by Becca. Thank you!”
About: I adopted a dog when I was 8, a pomeranian, took care of it and raised it since he was 1 month old. Now I don't have access to him since we moved out, someone else adopted him because we didn't have the ability to keep him. Them adopted other two puppies, huskies, the same story happened as we tend to move a lot. 1 year ago I adopted a frenchie and currently raising it, on a healthy 24 pounds and very active and energic, trying to work on his hyperactivity so I won't be able to take him with me if requested. I'm a Uber driver, so I would always be able to attend any reservations outside of this times: ●Monday to Friday 11:30am - 2:30 pm, 5:30pm - 6:30 pm. ●Weekends negotiable, standard would be 11 am to 3 pm. I feed mine twice a day, depending on activity of the day I might rise the amount he eats just a little to make up for it. Then daily training of 10- 30 minutes with split treats to not over feed.
“Gileen was very caring and loving to my dog who is often anxious with strangers. I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her. She will be dog sitting for us again tomorrow and in the future. Gileen is great! 👍🏼 ☺️”
“I was thoroughly pleased with Cheryl! She was honest, responsive, and very kind. This was my first time using Rover so I had asked her to meet with me before I even booked. She used her time to come and meet with me and my dog which put my mind at ease. Cheryl kept in contact with me sending sweet pictures and any concerns she had for my dog. She went above and beyond and cleaned my home before she left. This was the first time I’ve ever gone on vacation and was completely comfortable that my dog was being loved and well taken care of. I will definitely use Cheryl in the future.”
“My fur babies LOVED Sue! She was very communicative, sent a lot of pictures, and made sure they were well taken care of. She did an overnight stay for my two huskies and cat. They can be anxious and a little wild, but she did a wonderful job. 5 stars!”
“Amanda looked after my two dogs and house for 12 days and did an incredible job. She sent photos every day and when I returned the house was spotless. Will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend.”
“Michelle was great with our little 10 week old puppy. She was able to step in at the last minute and watch him for an evening. He’s young so he can be a handful but came home to an excited puppy who didn’t seemed stressed at all and was well taken care of. Very professional and would recommend!”
About: Pending on parents wishes, we take walks, play, I will have doggie toys or they can bring their own. I can do medication, including injections, give them breakfasts and snacks pending parents bringing what the babies like Im currently available everyday, once I start my daily job, I can still stay at your homes, and walk, feed and play. And all day onweekends, mindful that I am available now 24/7 I have a fenced yard, no other doggies on property. I always say less is more when it comes to meeting a new pup no matter the age. This is to gain trust with myself and them.
“Logan took awesome care of our dog over 5 days and left our house spotless. She was dependable, responsible and communicative. Our dog is a senior with some medical needs and a specific schedule, Logan handled everything perfectly. I’d highly recommend her for housesitting!”
About: Im a life long pet owner with experience sitting all sorts of animals. Ive taken care of the smallest puppies to giant breed dogs as well as indoor and outdoor cats. I have fostered future service dog puppies, guinea pigs and rabbits too! I know when owners leave the house it can be stressful for the animals, thats why I stay at the owners house so the animals have the least amount of change possible. I love animals and am so excited to work with your pets! I am a college student who takes most of my classes online. This makes my schedule pretty flexible and only requires me to go to school two days a week. This allows me to be with your pets for the remainder of the time and give them all the love and care they need! I am available all major holidays but book up fast! I'll take care of your pets in your home. I know that leaving home can be stressful for both you and your pet that why I aim to keep your pets schedule the same as much as I possibly can. I will also update you about how your pet is doing a couple times a week so you know your pet is getting the best possible care!
About: Hello, I currently work at a doggy daycare named St. Tropawz. It can become quite busy, meaning I'm familiar with caring for up to 15 dogs at any given time. I'm particularly fond of Dobermans and high energy breeds like Huskies. I understand how to work with a dogs temperament to keep everyone safe during sudden unforeseen events. I work part time at a doggy daycare located in Rosemead California named St. Tropawz. Outside of that I'm a student, currently learning Linux and cybersecurity after having been in the cannabis industry for 7 years. I'm familiar with how to approach pets that are unfamiliar with me but would greatly appreciate meeting your pet alongside you to help establish trust. I currently have a senior Husky named whiskie who is ten and a half years of whom I take for daily walks while riding my longboard. That way he gets to stretch his legs and go for a nice run or jaunt jog. While working at the doggy daycare, I will at times look after dogs who are a bit skittish. I understand the importance in giving a dog space and allowing them the time and patience needed to warm up to new individuals. I also was taught by my parents to respect another persons home. I like to think the way we interact with the world around us is a reflection of how we were raised and a mirror to our inner world. With that in mind I will pay careful mind to your space, your instructions and your pets!
“We have rebooked Kayla multiple times because she not only great with our cat and dog but she also keeps us updated consistently. Getting photos and videos throughout the trip always helps us relax even more! Plus the pets are so excited to see her every time. Will Rebook soon!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Artesia is $63

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable and confident leaving our dog in Jack’s care. He was incredibly kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly treated our dog like their own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute of their time together. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be using him again!

Alivia took wonderful care of our 2 dogs--giving them their daily medicine, taking them on just the right amount of walks (one of ours is a young active dog and the other is a senior dog with arthritis). She also sent us lots of updates and photos. Will definitely book again!
This was the 2nd time Nansi watched my BB. She is very professional, communicative and sweet. My dog loves her and it really shows how much she loves dogs! She sent me videos and pictures to keep me updated and she took good care of my house. I would definitely ask Nansi to pet sit for me again!
Wow! This surpassed every expectation I had; Glasgow was so happy and at peace for the 9+ day overnight trip while we were overseas. We've never had a formal house / pet sitter before, and we are so happy we found Denger — we're already re-booking them for future trips. :) Thank you for giving us the confidence and care...we're so thankful!
Michelle was fantastic with our little girl. Usually Bella barks at strangers, but immediately took to Michelle. She took excellent care of Bella and even helped to potty train her to pee outside. Michelle is the perfect dog sitter. She stayed at our house and left it immaculate. Hopefully she’s available for the next 15 years or so to watch Bella every time we go out of town.
We had such a great experience with Sue and are incredibly grateful! She stepped in on very late notice and truly saved our ski trip. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. Our German Shepherd can be a handful, but Sue handled her with confidence and care. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with regular walks, and it was clear she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave her.
Nicole is amazing. We did a few short visits for the dogs to get to know her before our week long trip away. She picked up on our dogs’ personalities very quickly and adapted her energy to match to make it the best possible scenario. She was polite and respectful to both our dogs and our home while we were away. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis for all our sitter needs!
Candy is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, which shows in everything she does. Candy kept me updated and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to happy, relaxed pups, which says it all. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Candy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and wonderful dog sitter.
Tayanna was amazing! She made my kitty feel so comfortable and loved on while I was out of town and gave me updates throughout the entire time. I’m very protective and particular with who watches my girl, and I know I absolutely made the right choice with Tayanna.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Artesia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Artesia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Artesia choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
