“Lissi was exceptional! She was very communicative, professional and friendly. This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch my two cats. She provided plenty of updates and was even able to win over my shy/avoidant cat.”
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.

“We always feel at ease when we have Adriana come over to take care of our 4 cats and bunny. She takes the time to make sure they get love and attention. She even brings our bunny some fresh greens from her garden. And she’s not afraid to clean up cat puke. (Sorry!). Thank you Adriana!!”
“I booked Sue for a last-minute trip, and she was quick to respond and took wonderful care of my cat, Oreo. He’s usually independent, but he absolutely adored Sue and would look forward to her visits! I’m so grateful for her care and would gladly have her watch Oreo anytime.”

“We had a great first drop by with Allycia. I know I sent way too many instructions/details, but she handled everything and took a lot of stress off of us. She knows how to handle the dogs and we appreciated the updates and the pics. Thanks Allycia!”
“Mariah did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Raisin, while my family and I were on vacation. Raisin can be a bit shy at first, but Mariah took the time to make her feel comfortable and gave her all the love and attention she needed. She kept us updated with regular messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I could tell Raisin was well-cared for because she was happy and calm when we got home. Mariah went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thank you, Mariah! Would definitely book with you again in the future!”

About: I have my own dog at home, he’s turning into a little senior but because of my constant day to day care with him, other people around me have asked me to help! I’ve helped sit anywhere from a pug to a puppy Great Dane! I’m very playful with dogs and like to give affection, as well as be someone in their life that makes them feel safe when their owners are away! Im currently working as a weekend nanny and go to school for respiratory therapy! My schedule does change slightly every 10 weeks due to me being in an advanced program, but I have time throughout my day to play around, get out some energy, or even study while having a cuddle session. I prefer being in the environment of another pets home so they feel safer! Caring for pets in a clients home means understanding where they go in terms of sleeping, playing, as well as their limitations inside and outside of the house. Not only keeping the pet safe, but keeping someone’s home watched over is important to me.
“V was very patient when doing a drop in with my barky girl! She earned her trust by hand feeding her for a while then took her on a quick walk. She followed all instructions, left my dog safe, and locked up the house. I appreciate her help!”
“Jasmine helped us with a last-minute request, giving us peace of mind to enjoy our event, knowing our new dog was taken care of. She communicated well before, during and after her visit.”

I’m mindful of boundaries, follow the owner’s instructions, and always leave the home and belongings exactly as I found them.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who had the privilege of caring for my own dog for 14 amazing years. Through that experience, I learned how important patience, attention, and love are when it comes to caring for pets. I understand that dogs are family, and I will treat your pet with the same kindness and care I gave my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I want your dog to feel safe and happy while you’re away. My sweet dog recently passed away after 14 years together, and caring for other dogs is a meaningful way for me to continue sharing that love. •Dog Care Skills• 🦴🐾 Feeding and maintaining pet routines Dog walking and exercise Sending photo and video updates to owners Providing companionship and playtime Quick communication with pet parents •About Me• I am currently a college student and a huge dog lover. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I understand how important pets are and how much care they need. I enjoy walking, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I always follow your pet’s routine and send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets throughout the day. I enjoy going on walks, spending time playing with dogs, and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I make pet care a priority in my daily routine and plan my schedule so that pets are never left without proper care and supervision.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for pets now is second nature. I raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, giving me hands on experience with everything from potty training and basic commands to daily excersise, enrichment, and routine care. As a marathon runner, I am especially well suited for active and high energy dogs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, runs, hikes, or plenty of playtime, I am happy to help them get the excerise and attention they need. I also grew up with two family dogs and currently help care for my roommates cat, so I am comfortable with different personalties, energy levels, and care needs. Beyond dogs and cats, I've cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, and reptiles. At one point, I was responsible for 8 pets at the same time, which taught me how to stay organized, attentive, and reliable when managing multiple feeding schedules, cleaning routines, and individual needs. My goal is to treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in loving and capable hands. I am currently on summer break from UC Davis and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I am available for drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and will do my best to work around your pets routine. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I will be extremely thorough and follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, excersise, training, and household rules. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets secure at all times, and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and enrichment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Artesia
Bronte was wonderful. She made 2 visits a day to check in on my two cats for 3 weeks when I was away. She was always on time, communicative, thoroughly dependable, professional, and great with the cats. There were a few other small unexpected issues that arose with house related stuff - entirely unrelated to the pets - that she graciously took care of for me in my absence. Highly recommended and I'd gladly request her services again!
We’re so glad we found Andrea! She took wonderful care of our three cats during our trip and made the experience much less stressful for us. Our cats are sensitive to changes in their routine, and one of them has special needs and lives separately from the others. Andrea handled their different needs with patience and attention, kept us updated with photos, and was always responsive and accommodating when we had additional requests. We especially appreciated that she took the time to interact with our cats rather than simply completing the basic tasks. One of our favorite moments was seeing photos of Leo affectionately rubbing his face against her hand. It was reassuring to see him so relaxed and comfortable with her. What touched us most was something Andrea did entirely on her own. When she learned about Tom, a stray cat we feed outside our home, she offered to leave him some food and made sure he had fresh water. We never expected her to take on that extra responsibility, and her thoughtfulness meant a great deal to us. Andrea is dependable, considerate, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We’re grateful for the excellent care she provided and would happily book her again. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! ❤️🐾
Asmita was amazing! She was great with the cats and took exceptional care of them. She took detailed notes at the meet and greet and we felt confident leaving them with her. She handled their food, water, litter box, treats, playtime and even walking our cats in their stroller. She treated them like family and was attuned to their needs. She also thought to bring a barrier to keep them from escaping out the front door (as they try to do). We had complete trust in her and we especially appreciated her detailed notes, pictures and videos. We highly recommend booking her and will definitely do so again for our next trip.
We love Serena! From the moment our pets met her they were at ease and happy! We felt immediately too that our dogs were going to be in great hands with her. She is incredibly responsive as well! It’s not always easy to find someone you trust to care for your pets but Serena is awesome! Highly recommend !!!
We first used Dolores's services a couple of years ago, but unfortunately, we missed the window to leave a review on Rover. We really regretted that because she absolutely deserved a wonderful five-star review even back then! So my husband and I were truly happy to have the opportunity to entrust our three cats to her care again. This is especially important to us because our cats are quite sensitive to stress, and their comfort and peace of mind mean everything to us. We were so happy to see that they remembered Dolores, weren't afraid of her, and felt comfortable around her. In fact, their bond with her seemed even stronger and more affectionate this time! Our situation is a little unusual, as one of our three cats has special needs and lives separately from the other two. This means caring for our cats requires extra attention and an individual approach. Dolores is extremely conscientious, responsible, and attentive in everything she does. But what means just as much to us is that she doesn't simply take care of the basic tasks — she genuinely spends time with each of our fur babies, respecting their different personalities and habits. It's clear that she truly enjoys being around them, and they respond to her with trust and affection. While we were away, Dolores sent us photos of our cats, shared sweet little stories about her interactions with them, and responded to our messages. This helped us not only know that our cats were doing well, but also see how comfortable and happy they were in her company. It meant so much to us, especially since we missed our fur babies terribly! When you have to leave your beloved pets for several weeks, knowing they're in the hands of someone you can truly trust is incredibly important. We feel very fortunate to have found Dolores, and we're sincerely grateful for all the kindness, care, and attention she's given our cats! We wholeheartedly recommend Dolores to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter! ❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Haleigh was absolutely wonderful! She came to my home while I was out of town to check on my two cats and my dog, and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable having her there. She made sure all of my pets were fed and taken care of, and she even cleaned up the messes they made while I was gone. 🐶🐱🐱 It gave me such peace of mind knowing my fur babies and my home were in good hands. Haleigh was dependable, caring, and respectful of my home. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their pets! ❤️
Emily took such wonderful care of our pets! We were especially worried because one of our dogs is a senior, but she gave them so much love and attention that we were able to enjoy our family trip without any worries. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions carefully. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will definitely ask Emily to watch our pets again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!
Shana is great! I hired her to take care of our tortoises that live outside while we were gone for 9 days. Not only did they need daily food and water, but their house also needed to be cleaned regularly. They’re pretty large tortoises so they also make big messes. She updated me every day, took pictures, and I came home to a spotless tortoise enclosure which was a dream. She really cared for them the way we do and I knew she bonded with them from her messages. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy and extremely caring, hire Shana!
Jennifer was kind, caring, and compassionate. She treated sunny with care and love. In addition, she gave us daily updates on how sunny was doing. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner. Sunny is usually afraid of strangers, but she immediately warmed up to Jennifer . Jennifer was asked to administer a complicated set of instructions for care of sunny, including handling medication and specific food. She did this very well and we are well pleased with her.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Artesia is $25 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 21,219 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Artesia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
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.
