House Sitting in Artesia Beach

About: I’ve had and been around dogs all my life, from free roaming farm dogs to the most spoiled Pomeranians. I’m the guy who has treats and a leash in his car just in case I see a loose dog running around or hear there’s one nearby. I’m the guy who will remember your dog’s name, but probably not yours. I’m the guy pet owners warn that their dog is anxious of people, only to watch their dog sense my immediate love for them. I work as a freelancer, so my availability is mostly wide open outside of some specific appointments and projects that will be noted in my profile. In your home, I will follow any patterns and schedules you request to maintain a consistent experience for your dog. I have three dogs in my home consisting of two puppies and one senior, so I will not be hosting any appointments here at this time.

“Jenna did great with all 7 of my animals- including a medically needy dog that needed monitor with food/water intake/and medications. Jenna kept the house clean, helped with extra stuff, as well as dealt with house malfunctions. Will definitely use and recommend Jenna to care for your animal needs.”

“Ceana was booked at the VERY last minute as our original sitter ended up ill. She was able to come the night before we left to meet the dogs and get familiar with our home. She stayed 3 nights and everything went very well! No complaints and will definitely use her again!”

“Rowan was a fantastic dog sitter. He was very friendly and accommodating and kept up really great communication. Our dog was very well cared for and we will absolutely be looking to hire him again.”

“Sarah is the exact person you are looking for to care for your pet while you’re away. They are enthusiastic and ask important questions. They also send updates and photos while you’re away. We will use Sarah to watch our dog whenever we are away and they have availability.”

“We had Bryanna stay at our house to watch our puppy for a few days. She did come by to meet us and Luna ahead of time to get to know Luna and her schedule. Bryanna did a great job with our puppy Luna. She communicated back and forth as well so we were able to know how things were going while we were away.”

“Great experience! My very timid pup seemed very at ease and comfortable upon return. Will definitely hire Cheri again for pet sitting! Thanks Cheri!”

“Alex was truly a dream! The BEST Rover experience we have had. Dishes done, house immaculate and most importantly Maisy LOVED her. We hope that she will stay with us for a long time!”

“Hannah did such a great job with our cat and dog. Our dog tends to be very skittish and afraid, and Hannah knew exactly how to handle him. Thank you Hannah and Rover for taking great care of our beloved pets!❤️”

“We were on the road to Florida and our pet care fell through. I have never used this service, but my daughter told me about it as we were driving. Rather than turning around and canceling our trip, i began digging in to find care. But, a complete stranger in my home for 10 days!?!? The search was on!! It was reassuring that Rover completes background checks on all care givers. After searching, and contacting many employees, I reached out to Gabriella, and she responded so timely. She was on board and available to help me with our Boxer. Galadriel (Ellie), who is truly a love but not good with other dogs. This service and Gabriella, saved our trip!! She was very responsible, trustworthy, and went over and beyond what her responsibilities were. She brought in packages without being asked. She also cared for our Bearded Dragon, Ozzy, because she saw the need. She stayed the night, and basically took care of the house in our absence. I will definitely be referring this service and reserving Gabriella in the future!!! Thank you Gabriella, truly you took a weight off my shoulders at the start of our trip, and kept it off by taking such great care of our Ellie!!”

About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors needing extra support. What sets me apart is my comfort and training with medical needs. I can confidently give oral medications and administer insulin injections. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cared for in the comfort of their home I have the luxury of working from anywhere, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. This allows me to adjust to your pet’s routine—whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I can even stay overnight without disrupting my own work, making it easy to keep pets comfortable in their home while giving them consistent love, attention, and any special care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines closely so they feel secure and stress-free. I keep a close eye on their environment—making sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are refreshed, and any medications are given correctly and on time. I also provide updates and photos, so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 2 husky mixes and 3 cats in my childhood home and I currently have 1 cattle dog and 2 cats. I also had the pleasure of house sitting for a few families consistently while they were away on vacations. I work early mornings so I have plenty of the daylight to spend time with your dogs! I’m available after 1pm to do daily walks, checks ins, and will have hours available for boarding. I have a fully fenced in yard and a 2 year old cattle dog that loves to make friends and play but also understands boundaries. I have a cat as well but I have a two story house so she can be separated from your dog if need be! I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. I am very flexible and accommodating to whatever your fur baby needs to feel comfortable and safe.

“So wonderful!!! Alexis was able to help me out with a very last minute booking to house sit with my two pups. So grateful to have found her! Excellent communication and gave me complete peace of mind that my boys were happy and in great hands while I was out of the country. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: I have a deep love and understanding of pets coming from a lifetime of pet ownership and a "pet family" background. Having rescues has taught me many things and provided me with experiences working with food aggressive, animal aggressive, malnourished, and unhealthy animals. My dog has recently gone through extensive leg surgery allowing me to learn how to rehab and work with disabled pets. As a pet owner, I know that pets are family and treat them as so. I own a large breed dog so am familiar with working with pets over 100 pounds. I am a teacher which demonstrated my patience and compassion, even in difficult situations. Just as a teacher creates a positive learning environment for children, a calm and supportive atmosphere is created for pets. This patience is important when working with pets, particularly those who are shy, anxious, or have behavioral quirks. I can following instructions and adapt to each pet's routine, ensuring a seamless experience for pets and owners. As a teacher, I am done working by 3 pm allowing for lots of playtime and walks after school. I enjoy getting up early as well. Currently, I am on summer break so I have lots of flexibility. When pet owners leave, I understand the importance of routine and consistency for dogs. I am very good at following directions and can easily adapt my schedule to meet the needs of your pet— whatever that may be!

About: I have had pets since I was a child. I grew up with mainly German shepherds but also have a dog of my own! I do have basic training skills from observing trainers while I worked at Petco. I work 2 jobs so this is an opportunity for me to unwind and connect with animals in my spare time. My usual work schedule is first shift so I am available after 3pm M-F for anytype of pet care. I live in an apartment with 2 cats and snake. I am willing to take a night out of the week to spend with your pet if need be in your home. They will get lots of play time and love! You can be worry free knowing that your pet will be treated with the same love and care that my pets receive.

“Kyndall is an excellent dog sitter! Very flexible with times and sent update pics throughout the day. I could tell when we got back that my Winston was well taken care of and the house looked exactly like how we left it. will definitely be booking again in the future! :)”

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of dogs, as well as have been involved in dog shows, AKC pedigree events, canine good citizen training, and am patient with dogs while being tolerant to their antics. I am pretty flexible as I can wake up early, take care over my lunch, and late at night as well as I stay up late. I am careful but easy going with pets. I follow details for feeding, hygiene, and medication if needed. I require a meet and greet before providing services, to ensure I can properly handle the needs of your pet, as well as your pet getting along with me -- as you never know who they may like or dislike -- and want to ensure safety and proper care is given. I will record details of feeding, hygiene and medication to ensure I am consistent on their needs.

“Autumn did a wonderful job, she was very attentive to our dogs needs, we would definitely recommend Autumn.”
