About: I’ve basically lived in a zoo since I was a child, ha! My family always had a variety of animals, including dogs and cats. I’m new to Rover, but have so much love for animals! I’m a doctoral graduate student, but on summer break! My availability is pretty open, and I’m always happy to spend time with fur babies! My dogs are completely spoiled! They’re family members and treated as such. Plenty of loving, belly rubs, and I’m a proud professional ear scritcher! They sleep inside (usually on top of me in some way). I walk them both daily, but it’s usually more like they walk me, ha! Also, my youngest has separation anxiety and my older dog is completely terrified of loud noises (fireworks, cars backfiring, etc.), so I’m also very patient with dogs that need a little bit of extra love and care.
“Lissi was super warm and excellent with our pet. She was flexible, punctual, very communicative, and provided welcome updates throughout the booking. Great job, it was a pleasure working with her.”

“Brionna was easy to communicate with, shared lots of photos of our pups, and was very caring with both our dogs. Upon returning home, it was clear the dogs enjoyed being with Brionna (even our grumpy senior dog!). Felt very at ease knowing our dogs were in experienced hands. Looking forward to booking with Brionna again soon.”


About: Hello everyone! I’m an enthusiastic amateur photographer with a serious passion for capturing the unique personalities of dogs, cats, and all kinds of pets. I’m actively working to expand my pet photography portfolio and would love to create beautiful, heartfelt images of your furry family members. Whether it’s playful action shots in the park, cozy in-home portraits, or candid moments during a walk or playtime, I bring patience, treats, and a camera everywhere I go. I’m still building my collection, so I’m happy to offer very affordable (or even complimentary) photography sessions when you book me for dog walking, pet sitting, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m gentle, reliable, and genuinely love animals — your pets will be happy and relaxed while I snap some amazing shots you’ll treasure. From goofy zoomies to sweet sleepy cuddles, I aim to freeze those special moments in time. If you’re open to a sitter who also doubles as a pet photographer, let’s team up! Message me to chat about your pet’s personality and what kind of photos you’d love. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged friends and add more adorable images to my growing portfolio! 📸🐶🐱 I'm a retired veteran who has a lot of free time on his hands. I fostered animals while serving in the military and wanted to get back into caring for animals Always flexible with animals and the level of care/attention they require. More than willing to be out and about for a while or stay in because they're home bodies
“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.”


About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with a strong background caring for both cats and dogs. I have three cats of my own, including one with asthma, and I regularly administer his medication and closely monitor his health and behavior. I’m very attentive to routines, cleanliness, and making sure cats feel comfortable and secure. I also have an AKC-trained dog, so I’m familiar with reinforcing basic training, structure, and daily routines. I’ve pet sat for others in their homes and am experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and following care instructions carefully. I’m also a pet photographer, which has made me especially patient and observant of animal behavior. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day for pet care. My schedule easily accommodates feedings, walks, medication, playtime, and check-ins without pets being left alone for long periods. I also do photography on the side, which gives me additional flexibility in planning my day. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication in every home I care for. I carefully follow all instructions and maintain a calm, clean environment for pets. I have reliable transportation and my own car, allowing me to travel easily for drop-ins, house sitting, or emergency needs if they arise. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, attentive to behavior and health changes, and committed to providing dependable, thoughtful care at all times.
“Olivia is the best dog sitter in town! Truly a gem! We were so blessed to have Olivia care for our Teddy while away on a 6 day vacation to Hawaii. She was always available and provided all of Teddy’s needs. I can’t express my gratitude with just words. She went above and beyond caring for our Teddy while away. Teddy has found a new best friend in Olivia. My trip was care free because I left my pup in good hands. Theres nothing better than to have peace of mind that my Teddy was being fed, walked and played with daily. I recommend Olivia for your furry friend. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Olivia! 🐶”

“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!”

About: I grew up and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve been cat sitting for friends for years. I love all animals but have the most experience with cats and dogs. I have open availability and here to help. I have open availability at the moment. So even if it’s last minute I can help. I am reliable and as long as I’m not booked up I’m willing to help. I will care for the pets in their client’s home. I think it’s best for the pet to stay in their environment and to have familiarity. Especially when first being introduced to someone new.
“Kayla watched our home and pup for a few days. She was overall great. She asked us in detail about our dogs care and needs as well as provided many updates with photos. Our dog loved her and even cried when she left. We would highly recommend her!”

“Jessica is the best! Great communication, and calming presence with our very energetic dogs! We have a 2 year old German Shepherd and 1 year old Rottweiler, shepherd mix - Jessica was great with our big dogs.. assertive, and confident handling. Highly recommended!”


“Mabel loves Jack so much! He does such a great job keeping her routine, he very attentive to her and always makes sure she is taken care of no matter what is going on. He always takes such good care of her and she is so comfortable with him because of it. He also did a great job sending me lots of pictures and videos which helped me relax while I was away.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat every pet as if they were my own while also focusing on building a real bond and understanding their individual personality. I don’t just provide basic care—I take the time to earn their trust so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m also very comfortable with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, medication reminders, gentle walks, and a calm, reassuring presence. I am also happy to reinforce basic training, provide mental stimulation through play and enrichment activities, and accommodate senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I am not here to just take care of your pet while you’re away I’m here to treat it as my own and that requires real bonding and giving it so much love that I would want for my own fur baby . I’m currently not working as why I decided to look into something I love doing. My dream has always been to work with animals as I grew up drawing horses, dogs, and cats ! I always knew it is something I aspired to be around :) I have a dog of my own he is 8 years very friendly but can ask for his own space as he is older although he is obsessed with tiny dog haha! My fur baby is potty trained and does not use a crate. He can be wherever he likes wether it’s the couch the bed or the floor if he prefers. if u crate train your pup I can work with that for you. Caring for a pet in your home I will do as u please me to. If you have a specific routine for your pets I am willing to do whatever it takes to make u feel satisfied and happy that your pet is being cared for in the comfort of your own home ! <3
About: I’ve been with dog since I was very young and adopted mine own on 2020 July from a rescue center in Henry, CA. I’m so lucky to have him (Noodie) with us since then. He’s our youngest family member and definitely got spoiled. =) Just let me know in advance and I’ll try to accommodate. I am working from home so could be flexible. Pretty early morning and late afternoon and evening to avoid excessive heat. My Noodie has been spoiled for sure. He used to be having separation anxiety however after those past year confidence and trust we build among everyone in this family, he’s right now totally fine with stay home on his own.
“Karen was great!! She was punctual, listened and carried all instructions about my little anxious dachshund. Karen sent photos and communicated with me throughout this first stay at our home. I was able to relax and have a great time on our weekend away knowing my dog was in the best of hands. I would not hesitate to have her stay here again. Thank you Karen!”

About: I used to have three maltese poodle mixed dogs at home and I have dog sat many dogs in my lifetime. I am available to dog-sit and dog-walk. I believe that dogs need constant care and love and therefore, I am here to offer my services. I am a responsible, dedicated post grad student who genuinely loves to love dogs and cats. My schedule is very flexible and I have reliable transportation. Moreover, I have experience in babysitting in family homes with dogs. I am confident to say that I am qualified and honored to participate in this app and I would love to meet any new furry friends. Thank you for taking the time to reading this and I hope you consider me as your trusted dog sitter. It is my routine! I love caretaking in general. I am extremely patient & disciplined when it comes to maintaining pets & also having fun! I love being their fun auntie! I don't want to be a stranger & I want them to feel comfortable + safe. I love sending pictures to their owners to keep them updated as to how their babies are doing.
“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.”
About: I’ve had a dog before and I started loving all kinds of animals since I was little. I also have some fish (most were goldfish, and right now I have a Betta fish), a rabbit, etc. I am pretty much free except for when there is a home nhl (hockey) game I love them so much that I’m currently in school to become a veterinarian. Your pet or loved one will be in safe hands with me. I will also do my best in making your love one feel comfortable and loved when your at work or on vacation and can not bring them with you. If you have a very active pet it is fine with me and if you do not that’s fine with me too. I currently work part time and during my down time I would love to broaden my career with my veterinarian degree and passion for them. I will always make sure they are secure and safe before any walks. If I see any other fur buddies coming our way during our adventurous walks I will cross the street (when safe) to make sure everyone is comfortable. Your fur buddy will have tons of belly rubs, lots of play times multiple walks and potty breaks throughout the day. Also if okay they will also get positive reinforcement with treats.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Artesia is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Artesia
If I can rate 10 stars I would. Lissi was so amazing with our dog, cat and fish. She walked our dog and gave plenty of pets to cat and dog. The updates we got while we were gone were amazing and made our time away easier. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Lissi!!

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!

Riley was great! She left our home tidy and clean. She sent us lots of pics to update us which we really appreciated. Very easy to communicate with and she is quick to respond. Our girl Kita loved her. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again 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.

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.

Matt is great! He stayed at our house with our two doodles for the past week while we were on vacation. He sent updates and photos daily. It was just enough to give us peace of mind, knowing that our dogs were comfortable and still enjoying life while we were away. One of our dogs can be temperamental, but Matt is so good with him, we were not concerned one bit. It’s been a couple days since we got back home and I’m pretty sure our dogs are missing him 😂. Matt is trustworthy, respectful, and down to earth. We definitely recommend Matt and will use him every time!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Artesia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Artesia on Rover is $69.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 15,208 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Artesia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
