Stephanie sat with my dog and cat for a weekend. She was absolutely AMAZING! She patiently accommodated all my requests and was attentive to all instructions I left regarding my home. And my babies just LOVED her. I will definitely reach out again!

This was our first time for Jaden to take care of our four legged crew. She was very accommodating with excellent communication. Our furbabies were of course happy to see us, but also acted as though we were coming home from any other Saturday outing and for me, that is the true test 😊

What a blessing it is to know your pet is comfortable and happy when you receive a video of them interacting and playing with the sitter like they were playing with you. Anyu is awesome! She took great care of our high energy dog, handled the late night barking and bonded with her like one of the family. We were comfortable when we first met you and able to relax on our vacation. Thank You again Anyu we will definitely be thrilled to have you house sit/pet sit for us for our future vacations.

About: My name is Abbie, I have had a passion for animals my entire life. I was a vet tech for four years and then went on to use that knowledge to manage a well known pet store for several years. During this time I have owned two dogs (my literal children) while fostering over 15 dogs. I recently lost my oldest baby at her young age of 16 and I’m looking to fill that hole in my heart by giving some of my love to some pups who may need a little! I currently manage a dog training facility and hope to provide love and care to your baby just like I do in my career. I currently work full time but have a lot of flexibility with my hours. I want to let out a few babies a few days a week! I care for my animals with all my heart. I provide them with the love, care and time that they deserve! Lots of scratches, kisses and play time.

About: Pet sitting is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can. I'll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. Prior to Good Dog, I would pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. They deserve the best care even the little rambunctious ones. I have been working and volunteering in pet care for years. Interacting with any animal makes me happy but bunnies will always have a special place in my heart. Regardless of whether they have fur or scales I treat my pets, and other’s pets as family members who need just as much love and emotional care as they do physically. Thank you for this opportunity

About: Hello! I have always been a huge animal lover and have cared for many in my past and currently have 4 of my own! I have grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have three dogs of my own, Stormie, Maisy, and Lola, and one cat, Bean. They’re my absolute world and I could not imagine my life without them! I am available to house sit, check on your babies, walk them, and spend time with them. My schedule is quite flexible after 5:00 pm during the week and I am available most weekends, so just let me know what times and dates are needed and I can more than likely make it work! I cannot wait to meet your sweet babies! I’m currently working full-time from 8 am until 5:00 pm during the week. I can make sure to come check on your babies before I begin work, after work, and however many other times needed into the evening! I am available most weekends and holidays, as well! If you live nearby, I can also come check on your babies during my lunch break! I am highly experienced with taking care of animals of all ages, breeds, and size. I always ensure each animal has everything it needs (and wants 😊) while they’re in my care and of course give them all of the love and pets they want! I’m always observant and aware of an animal’s behavior in order to meet their needs but also know when to respect their space if they’re a bit shy!

About: I love working and meeting new dogs. Being able to provide one-on-one time with your fur baby is important to me and I look forward to forming new bonds. I have time throughout the day and evening for drop ins and walks. Ensuring your pet has attention and is loved is the number one priority for all visits. When caring for a pet in a client’s home I like to ensure the pet has an enjoyable time. I am flexible to do walks and rubs to keep your pooch smiling.

About: Thanks so much for giving my family the opportunity to be the “home away from home” for your precious pets! I am married with a 19 year old animal loving son (who pops in occasionally from college) and a husband that is in the medical field which is an added measure for health safety when dogs are staying at our home. We share our home with our two female Dachshunds that live for car rides. I am an active volunteer with the National Great Pyrenees Rescue and foster Great Pyrenees rescues so I am used to all types of behaviors/personalities with different dogs and helping them to all get along together under one roof, even if just temporarily. I have plenty of experience as well as good instincts and judgement where dogs are concerned; thanks to so many years of rescue work and a lifetime of having dogs in my home. I live in south Bossier in a small and quiet gated subdivision. I have 6 foot vinyl fencing around my backyard which provides a safe area for visiting dogs to be able to run around and play. We also have a small doggie door. My family does everything possible to make sure that every dog that comes to our home is comfortable and as happy as can be. They will get the run of the house and can lay/sleep anywhere that they want... just like our own dogs. We have plenty of toys, chews, and treats for our visiting dogs. At my house, we work together as a family to take the best care of your dogs because we know how much they mean to you- just like our dogs mean to us: they are our world! My husband is in the medical field so he is able to assist with any special needs that a visiting dog may have. I am a stay-at-home mom to a teenage son which means I have a very flexible schedule and I am home with dogs most of the day. Safety is always my main priority when I am with your dogs. Whether your dog is staying at my house or I am doing drop-in visits at your house, I am focused on their safety.

About: I have 4 dogs of my own and one cat. I have cared for pets as long as I can remember. My dogs are all house trained and crate trained they also are well mannered and like other pets. I can house train and also train dogs to do certain tricks. I'm 27 years old and own my own home with a large fenced in back yard. My house has no carpet so accidental pet messes can be cleaned easily. I have my own transportation to house sit or dog walk any time I am needed. Thank you for considering me for taking care of your pets I currently work full time split shifts so I can take care of animals between shifts before shifts and after shifts. I have reliable transportation to and from also I have a large fenced in back yard and I currently work in the animal field so I am trained on medication management and also have vet tech experience.

About: Hi there! My name is Madison, and I’ve been caring for pets for years. From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who just want a little extra love and patience, I truly enjoy every moment I get to spend with animals. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with all kinds of pets, personalities, and routines. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing lots of affection. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate, a calm companion, or someone to keep their routine consistent while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own, keeping them comfortable and cared for every step of the way. It’s always such a joy getting to know new animals and their unique personalities. I hope you’ll give me the chance to spend time with yours and make their days a little brighter while you’re away! I’m a teacher, so I’m only away for part of the day and love having the company of pets. Since my schedule allows me to be home alot, your pets will get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I When caring for pets—whether in my home or in a client’s home—I always focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. If pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel right at home from the start. I provide a cozy, safe space with plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and rest. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule closely and make sure they get the right balance of exercise and downtime. I also love spending time outdoors when possible, so pets can enjoy fresh air and play in a safe, secure area. If I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything consistent with what they’re used to—feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. I know how comforting familiar surroundings are, so I give them all the love and attention they need while respecting your space and your pet’s habits. No matter where I care for them, I always make sure each pet gets personal attention, plenty of affection, and lots of communication with you so you know how they’re doing. My goal is to make every pet feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Live Oak

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Live Oak on Rover is $40.83 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 96 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Live Oak. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Live Oak walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Live Oak maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Live Oak choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Live Oak. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
