“Lissi was great and very attentive with our pups. Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos to us during her stay. My pups were very happy when we got home, they looked like they really enjoyed their time with Lissi!”
“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”
“Sabrina was great. I was quite nervous leaving my dog but she sent me photos and updates everyday which really helped. She took care of everything I asked and when we got home the house was just as we left it. I would highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Riley was very communicative and an excellent house guest. She sends lots of pictures and videos and took Teddy on lots of adventures. She also went above and beyond leaving the home tidy for my return. I will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Kat! She took wonderful care of our dog Luca while we were on vacation. She kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him, and we came home to a happy pup. We would absolutely have her again and we will recommend Kat to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Kat! 🐾💕”
“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: Relocated animal caregiver from Hawai’i looking for new families to support! Long time foster parent and special needs caregiver at Aloha Animal Sanctuary in Kaneohe, O’ahu. Where I was a caregiver weekly for over 6 years. Trained caregivers, lead tours and fostered Stevie the goat from his bottle and diaper days, Ducklee and Eve their ducks, Sushi a Polynesian Piglet and several quails. Also, was the overnight caregiver many times for the internet famous “Bala” abandoned baby goat on the hill before he got adopted. Have had long term relationships with common domestic pet owners to non traditional pet owners, such as pigs. Have had experience with after surgery care, senior pets, blind/deaf and administering medication. Happy to now bring that knowledge and care to OC. Currently working on some projects remote so my schedule is quite flexible at the moment. If my schedule changes I would schedule around commitments made and always update families for future scheduling. I am always open to abiding by the natural routine of the pets, mirroring as closely as instructed. I make sure to keep the environment clean, that rubbish and recycling are taken out and that the pets remain as comfortable and safe as possible.
“My dogs and kitty were just as happy and healthy as when I left. Karen was very communicative and responsive with any questions and left my house in good shape as well. Thanks again for taking good care of my little zoo!”
“Alexis was absolutely wonderful with the dogs, on time, and very reliable. We maintained excellent communication before, and while he looked after our pets. Alexis was very accommodating, pleasant, respectful, trustworthy, and would choose him 100000% every time I would need to trust someone to look after my fur babies. Very, very happy ???”
About: I’ve always been responsible and thorough when taking care of dogs and I treat them like my own. I’m patient and helpful with all types of dogs I currently have open availability and do gig work as well so I’m sure I can make time to take care of your pets I can keep your dog safe inside or outside of the house and I can make sure they are cool, fed, and out of trouble
“Jennifer was the perfect puppy sitter for our dog! Besides being wonderful with our buddy she was flexible and kind and very conscientious of what we needed. I highly recommend her!! Five stars for Jennifer”
“Isabella took care of our pup while we spent the day at a theme park. She was able to come last minute to be with our dog in our hotel room while we were at the park. Our dog was anxious being alone so last minute we decided to find him a sitter to be with him while we were gone. Isabella had great communication and texted us photos of our dog while we were at the park, as well as sent us text updates when she let him out, how he has doing, etc. She was able to accommodate the time frame we gave her and was flexible when it took us a bit longer to get back from the park. She was great with our dog and took great care of him! Would highly recommend her to other people needing a pet sitter!”
“Haylee was wonderful and kept us apprised of everything throughout the day. She’s very professional, friendly, caring and we felt very comfortable with our kitties in her care. She also left a cute Christmassy blanket for us…Thank you,Haylee!”
“Kat has always been great and my 14 yr old dog just loves her. My dog is still very active and loves her walks in Bellevue Park. I know she is getting lots of belly rubs and Kat makes sure she stays healthy while I am away on long trips.”
About: I’ve spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks I’m used to juggling a hundred things at once while staying calm, warm, and on schedule. Turns out that’s great training for dog care too: reading personalities fast, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone (two legs or four) feels comfortable in a new environment. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know the drill: the 6am zoomies, the separation anxiety whining, the food that “definitely doesn’t cause gas.” Whether your pup is a couch potato, a chaos gremlin, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like they’re already part of the household. Ten-plus years in hospitality means I’m used to following exact protocols and communicating clearly, and I apply that same discipline to pet care. Safety and consistency come first, in my home or yours. I keep a calm, predictable environment because cats do best with routine, so I stick to feeding times, litter maintenance, and any specific instructions you give me exactly as written, no improvising.
About: The house I grew up in always had animals. At times we had 4 dogs and a cat. In fact I can’t remember a time not having animals in the house. I’m the proud owner of a chocolate lab named Seamus who has taught me a lot about training and dog behavior. I am currently working part time, so on my time when I’m not at my other job I will take care of either dogs or cats. I take care of my animals by making sure they are well exercised and fed and giving them plenty of love. I also make sure the pets go potty.
“Jasmine was amazing with Penny. She always gave me updates with pictures which made me feel at ease while away. She was very attentive to Pennys needs and kept her routine very comfortable and consistent. I also enjoyed that Jasmine played and walked Penny daily. She’s awesome! 😊”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Artesia is $63

Jenn took EXCELLENT care of our girls while we were away on vacation! One of our girls has chronic kidney disease and Jenn administered her medication correctly and consistently. Additionally, Jenn followed all instructions for our girl's kidney-friendly diet. Both girls were walked consistently and well taken care of. They're obsessed with Jenn and get excited every time they see her!
Can we do 6 stars? Denger was an absolute dream and took such amazing care of our fur babies while we were gone. I actually think our pups were disappointed when we came home that Denger wasn’t going to be staying! The puppies absolutely have a new best friend in Denger. They sent multiple pictures each day, fun updates throughout the day as well which made us feel so at ease. If and when they had questions, they didn’t hesitate to ask either. When Denger came over for yhe meet-and-greet I knew right away that we were leaving our puppies safe hands: they had a clipboard with multiples pages worth of questions and notes to make sure all bases were covered. We can’t wait to have Denger come and stay with us again!
I really hate to leave a good review for Jack because someone will snatch him up when I need him the most! I think Harlie, Prince and Rio had a really good time because they were not stressed out at all when I got home. In fact, they weren’t all that excited to see me when I got home. I think they missed Jack. I felt my fur babies and my house were well taken care of. Will definitely be using him in the future.
Lissi is absolutely amazing! Soleen was so well taken care of and got lots of TLC and belly rubs ❤️. Lissi is great at following the instructions we left for both our home and furry baby- proactively asked all the proper questions. Left our place just as we left it, very thoughtful. We look have her back. 🫶🏻
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!
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.
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.

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.
Tip: 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
