Top rated Artesia pet sitters

“Alexis took great care of my pups! My pups were taken care of amazingly, and Alexis provided great communication about them while I was gone. I will definitely rebook!”


“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!”


“Mary is an amazing person and Petsitter! She takes excellent care of our dogs and cats and will help out with anything we ask her! We highly recommend her!”


“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!”


“We had a great experience with Alexis while she did drop-in visits for our dog Miso. She was incredibly thoughtful and flexible. She agreed to meet Miso twice before our trip so he’d feel more comfortable, and even added an extra visit when our travel plans changed unexpectedly. She was also attentive and reliable, and handled Miso’s behavioral quirks with ease. He can be high-strung and pushy and it gave us peace of mind to know he was so well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend Alexis and would be happy to utilize her again for future care!”


“Christine sent excellent photos of the cats and their food, water and litter box with each visit. She was also very flexible, making an extra visit for us even after a late plane flight, bringing in packages and checking for damage after a storm. We'll happily book her again!”


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.

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.

“Callie was very thorough and attentive to our two dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs loved her from the first time they met her! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”


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 did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. They loved her immediately upon meeting her and I noticed that she did not back away when they jumped on her to greet her. She was reliable and took great care of them while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will be using her again in the future!”


“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!”


“We have 6 animals and if that’s not enough to handle 2 of them are special needs. Taylor was amazing. It is hard to find reliable help with so many pets and we are thankful we found Taylor. Highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies.”


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💞”


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!
