Top rated Artesia cat sitters

“Alexis was amazing! She took care of our kitties and somehow even got those little scaredy-cats to play with her! Assuming she’ll keep us, she is now our go-to to take care of our anxious fat floofs.”


“Paige was an amazing pet sitter for my two kittens. When she met them for the first time they felt comfortable coming right up to her, which is saying a lot because they’re usually shy with new people! It was clear that Paige has a lot of experience with animals and that they were in responsible and caring hands. Paige sent me updates and photos that put my mind at ease while I was away, and when I returned my pets were happy and well taken care of. I’d recommend Paige for all of your pet care needs!”


“Always love having Mary come to take care of our babies. She is always transparent with time scheduling, attentive to our babies needs, and follows instructions very well! Highly recommend!”


“Erin did a great job dropping in to visit and feed our 2 cats while we were out of town. She had great communication and provided a thorough recap of her visits. I really appreciated that she also met with us prior to us leaving town so she could meet the cats and learn where everything was located in the house. Would definitely recommend!”


“Alexis took excellent care of my cat while I was away for a family wedding!!! I had just recently moved, and my cat is still traumatized by the move. Alexis ensured that he was eating and drinking. And she provided continuous updates, which helped my anxiety about leaving him. Thanks to Alexis I was able to enjoy the wedding!! I won’t hesitate to reach out to Alexis if I need a sitter again.”


“Callie was very good with our cat, Shadow. She sent lots of pictures and made sure that all his needs were met and also made sure to keep us updated throughout his stay. Definitely would recommend to anyone who needs a sitter!”


“I've been using Christine to watch my cat just about every time I go out of town for the better part of a year now and she's awesome! Takes great care of my baby and is super responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommended!”


About: I have two years of experience working as a kennel tech where I was taught how to Give oral medication, and I have vet tech training assisting a vet in examination procedures, surgery prep, surgery recovery. In October of this year, I will have two years of dog grooming experience with a variety of small to large dog breeds including older, blind, and deaf dogs. I love being outside and I work out regularly so I can keep up with your fur babies. I am currently a dog groomer so my work days vary in time depending on how many dogs are scheduled that day so pet sitting is something I enjoy doing on the side during the evenings and weekends. In my home I have a feeding scheduled that I follow for my own pets. My senior cat gets a special cat food for his life stage. I have two boxes of toys for easy access, my vets number is on my fridge, and I have leash and harness trainined one of my cats for when they want to go outside to get some sunshine. In a clients home I follow there instructions for time outside, walks, and feeding. Otherwise I give there pets lots of love and make sure to clean up after them like I would my own. I love cuddles and playtime.

About: With 9 years of pet sitting experience, I provide reliable and loving care for pets of all kinds. I have experience bathing, walking, and feeding to ensure your pet is well cared for. I’m currently a full time student but have plenty of breaks between classes. I’m available at some point everyday in the week to check on and take care of your pet. I will ensure to provide care depending on the pet and the owners request. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pet, offering personalized attention and care tailored to each pets unique needs.

About: I’ve had a family dog for over 6 years and have helped to train her and take care of her! I also have dog sat for neighbors and friends all throughout high-school and a few times so far in college! I’m currently in school but my schedule does allow for daily drop-ins or staying overnight! I would love to be able to accommodate requests to the best of my abilities! Anything that is asked of a pet parent I am willing to do for the care of your animal! I can take walks, simply check in with your pet, or stay overnight if you’re away!

“Anna always sent pictures at each visit and was great with my cat Bluto. Would definitely rebook her!”


“Austin is great! Clearly super knowledgeable and familiar with pets! The cats took to him right away, which I always consider a good sign. Will definitely book again!”


“Taylor took great care of our cats. She sent pictures with every visit and took the time to sit and give them some company. She really helped ease my worry for the first time we've been away from home for a significant amount of time since adopting them as kittens!”


About: I work at Shaggy Hound where we treat your dogs just like our own. I take care of dogs from 3 months to 17 years old. I can administer medications and keep them on a regular schedule. I can also start training your dog basic commands while they are in my care. I believe what sets me apart from other people is my knowledge and experience. I used to work at a vet clinic for four years and now I work as a Kennel Tech. I have gained so much confidence in my ability to handle and work with animals. Pet care fits into my routine because it’s what I do for work, i work with dogs and then I come home and get to spoil my own dog and cats. I have a passion for caring for animals because they can’t do it for themselves. Your pets depend on you and that is my motivation to be better for them everyday. I care for other people’s animals with the same genuine love as I do my own. Pets are apart of the family and deserve to see love and respect always.

“Anna, was a perfect fit for Dolly and Lucky. Sweet kind and fit all my needs💞”


“Maya did an excellent job taking care of my cat. She got my instructions perfectly and kept me posted on my cat status every time. I will definitely ask her services again since she was so reliable!”


About: Hello! I have been a volunteer with the Humane Society since 2018 and have experience doing all sorts of things! I have overseen meet and greets with new owners, fed/watered dogs on a schedule, cleaned yards, walked dogs, watched over playtime in the yards with multiple dogs, dealt with puppies, trained puppies, handled senior dogs, and handled cats as well. I went through orientation and training in order to be in this position at the shelter, so I have a good understanding of animal behavior and treatment. I also have two dogs of my own back at home and have been around dogs my whole life. (I’m okay with snakes too, I’ve had one of my own). I have been a pet sitter for family friends as well and have been told that they love the way I care for their babies! I am an avid animal lover and plan to become a veterinary surgeon. I am currently at Mississippi State University in the pre-vet concentration of my animal and dairy sciences major! I am home from college for the summer, so my schedule is super open! I work part-time and shifts are only about 4 hours, so that leaves me plenty of time to give your pets the quality time that they deserve! I will be very dedicated to giving your fur babies the best care possible. My own dog is super active and she gets walked for an hour in the mornings, another shorter walk mid-day (weather permitting), and then another hour long walk in the evenings with plenty of play time in between! I will send daily updates and photos if you are away from home and I am doing drop in visits! I know that when pet parents are away, pets can become lonely and feel left out but I am here to make sure that they have fun and have a happy time! I have such a great passion for helping pets and will treat your babies like they’re my own!

“Such a wonderful, sweet person, and the dogs love her -”
