“Stephanie was the best!!! My pups seemed totally chilled and happy when I got home after being gone for almost a week. I would definitely use her again!”
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.
“Stephanie was phenomenal with taking care of our two dogs! She was vigilant and went the extra mile with everything. She also took really good care of our home. We highly recommend her and can’t thank her enough!”
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: 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.
About: What sets me apart is my rigorous attention to detail and a background in health and wellness. I understand that your pet’s health isn't just about feeding and walking; it’s about monitoring their well-being, strictly adhering to dietary or medication requirements, and ensuring a safe, clean environment. Whether it's managing complex care instructions or simply keeping a keen eye on their health and comfort, I bring a level of professionalism and vigilance that ensures your peace of mind while you are away. I also provide consistent photo/text updates so you have peace of mind while being away from your pets. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to be highly attentive and present throughout the day. This means I can offer your pet more companionship, frequent check-ins, and a stable routine that minimizes stress while you're away. Because my time is dedicated to being home-based, I can ensure your pet receives the extra playtime, consistent feeding times, and reliable care they deserve, giving you total peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, I am highly experienced in safely managing outdoor time using a leash to ensure your pet gets the necessary exercise and potty breaks in a secure, controlled manner. I am also comfortable with crating and strictly following your established house rules to maintain your pet's comfort and safety. Furthermore, I am completely flexible and happy to provide pet-sitting services directly in your home, allowing your pet to remain in their familiar environment, which is often the most stress-free experience for them. I do not have any animals currently of my own.
“We were thrilled with the attention and care Maddie gave our three dogs while we were on a week long vacation. She kept us updated on all of the pups and sent pictures of them during our trip. She has a very good personality and the dogs warmed up to her quickly.”
About: We have a warm, loving home and are very nurturing. We also have luxury vinyl flooring which makes accidents an easy clean up lol. We don’t currently use our third bedroom so there’s plenty of room for a crate if your pup is crate trained. I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for 16 years and am on this site because I simply want to do more of it on a consistent basis. I work close by our home 8am-4pm Monday-Friday, but I can come home to let out pup(s) whenever needed. My daughter goes to bed by 6:30 most nights so plenty of evening time at home. I have a sweet tea cup yorkie to keep your pup company during the day. I work close to where I live with a flexible schedule, so I can let pup out as much as needed. Our yard is fenced in also. But we like to go for walks around our neighborhood as well.
About: I've been rescuing dogs and cats and anything else I could get my hands on since I was a child. I worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and a shelter for 4 years. I've fostered many dogs and cats for local rescue organizations and have lots of experience with animal care and behavior. I provide a happy, home environment for your pets at an affordable rate! I will keep you updated with lots of photos and videos every day. My family loves all breeds and sizes of dogs. When they are with us they are family! Our home is their home. We also keep small, caged animals..ferrets, Guinea pigs, etc. Many vet references and personal references available to you upon request. Thank you for your consideration! I always have plenty of time and love to give to your furry family members while you relax and enjoy your time away from home. I have a secured fenced yard for play time and potty time. They will never be left unattended outside. They will have free roam in my pet friendly home or they can have their own quiet kennel space if needed.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
