“Lissi is a wonderful sitter! She took care of our senior pup like her own for 2 weeks while we were away. Our pup loves her and so comfortable with her. She’s punctual and did everything written on the care instructions. She sent us updated pictures and videos throughout the drop-in which we really appreciated. Whenever we have a trip next time, we would definitely book her again. Thank you”
“You could not ask for a more kind, loving sitter/walker then Stefanie R. We will definitely ask her to stay with our pups again. She is good with people as well as dogs. She made us feel safe and relaxed to go away knowing our dogs and our house were on good hands. A++++ Greg”
“Nicole took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. Not only did she walk and care for our dog daily, she communicated regularly and checked in whenever she had questions. She is personable, attentive to details, and a total natural when it comes to caring for pets. We would totally ask Nicole to care for our pet again and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Yasmin was super awesome! She took excellent care of my senior kitty. It is hard to leave our baby, but she made us so comfortable. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
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.
About: Owning two dogs who are both 10, I’ve had lots of hands on experience taking care of dogs of any age. I have experience with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and most importantly I want every dog I take care of to feel loved! I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to take care of your puppies! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, so I have a super flexible schedule. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any house rules to help keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep the home clean and tidy, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect as I would my own.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have one dog, and three cats at the moment. I love how they show their love and how they can really brighten up our days. I work at a school as an instructional assistant. So the pet care will have to be before and after work. I have weekends off. I care for my pets at home by walking my dog, playing outside with my dog, playing inside with my cats and their toys, they love the laser toy. I feed my animals morning and night and sometimes they get an afternoon snack. I love to relax with them on the couch while watching TV. I also allow them on my bed when it’s time to go to sleep.
“Angela does so great with my dogs. She updates me all the time and keeps my dogs happy. This is the second time Angela has taken care of my dogs and I will continue having her take care of my dogs.”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. Big dogs, small dogs, playful dogs, and shy dogs. Whether your dog prefers to run around or take a leisurely stroll, I am willing to accommodate. I have no issues administering medication if necessary! I’m a full-time worker at the hospital and a part-time student, but my mornings are free most weekdays! If you need a weekend as well, I’m sure I would be able to accommodate given ample notice. I have a friendly dog and cat in my house and a fenced yard to make sure your pet is in a safe environment. I have no issues placing pets into crates if necessary.
“Adriana T. was FANTASTIC. Our 1 cat & 4 foster cats were very well taken care of! Adriana T. is a detailed person who also is a problem solver. Our usually shy cat took to Adriana and was so happy and energized to see her! She was very thorough and also provided a great log and pictures too! I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ADRIANA T.”
“Lindsay took very good care of our lab during a long weekend. She was prompt with her visits and provided great communication with photos. We would definitely not hesitate to use Lindsay's services in the future.”
“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.”
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
“I would be asking her again when I need help. She was wonderful. I had many requests during a one hour visit and she did everything! My baby also seemed she had a good time with her. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs and they are my happy place. I’ve had my furbaby for the past 3 years and would love to extend my love to other furbabies as well. I am a very patient and caring person and love volunteering to transport of foster dogs. I’m currently not working so I’ll have plenty of time to dedicate my time energy and attention to the dogs I am entrusted with. My world revolves around my dog. I have a friendly dog that I care for as if he was my baby. Dogs mean so much to me and would love to share the love I have for dogs.

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.
Bronte took a last-minute booking to look after our cat Pacho, which we really appreciated. She had no issues handling his picky eating and daily routine. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We would recommend her without hesitation to other pet parents!
Hana took excellent care of my dog while I was away for four days. She was always punctual, followed all feeding and care instructions carefully, and made sure my dog got regular walks and attention. She provided prompt updates and was very responsive whenever I had questions. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable and caring hands. I would definitely use her services again.
We’ve used Michelle twice now, and she has taken great care of our two cats both times, including a week-long stay recently. She is responsible, dependable, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We appreciated knowing our cats were being well cared for and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future
This is my second time booking with Asmita to take care of my two cats, and once again, she provided amazing service. She is very easy to work with, attentive, and always made sure my cats were well taken care of. She regularly refilled their water, followed all of my requests and instructions, and even helped take care of my mail and packages, which I truly appreciated. What I appreciated the most was the constant updates through pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind while traveling and being away from my cats. Most importantly, she spent quality time with them and made them feel comfortable and cared for. I will definitely continue working with Asmita whenever I travel, and her service has always been 100%.
Evan was absolutely wonderful with Morrie! From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and clearly a true animal lover. Morrie came home happy and relaxed, which tells me everything I need to know. Evan sent updates that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I never had to wonder how things were going. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Evan is your person. We’ll definitely be booking again!
OMG! I cannot even BEGIN to say how GRATEFUL I AM to have Jessica watch my furbabies! This is my 1st time using Rover & I wasn't worried for one MINUTE that they weren't in the BEST CARE! She made sure my guy got his insulin shots on TIME & even THOUGH the Princessa didn't HONOR Jessica with her presence, she was still so happy to see me when I got home & was no worse for wear! I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, responsible person to take care of your precious babies, Jessica is it! You won't regret it!
I wanted to tip more but the app limited me? Brionna did a great job and she really helped out by picking up a few more days when I was stuck in Barbados airport with all flights canceled for 3days! Crazy East Coast weather! I recommend using her services as she is professional and thorough. Thank you Brionna!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 21,562 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Artesia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Artesia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Artesia. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
