Dog Sitting Live Oak

“Couldn’t be happier with Jan! She took care of our precious boy with visits twice a day, despite the freezing weather. She visited ahead of our departure to familiarize herself with our house and meet our pup, and during our absence, dripped the faucets the night the temps really dropped. Photos provided of our boy each visit, with a report of his activities. Highly recommend Jan!!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was 14 years old. I have years of experience in dog walking, bathing/grooming dogs and cats, pet sitting, and have trained my family dogs for years. I am currently working until 3pm during the weekdays and am free all weekend for all your pet care needs, whether that is dog-walking, drop in care, baths, or pet sitting. I have a friendly husky puppy that can keep your dog company that is crate trained. I can also crate your dog if needed during their stay.

About: My wife and I have fostered for San Antonio Pets Alive since 2021, are the first people our friends ask to watch their animals, and have 2 fur babies of our own. We’ve watched neonatal kittens, puppies, senior dogs, and about everything in between. We know what it’s like to need a safe place for your family member to stay while you’re away and want to offer our care for those who need it. We only book one animal / family at a time, so you can trust that when you leave your pet with us they will be getting our full care & attention. We both work hybrid jobs which allow us to be home with your pet almost the whole day, every day. This means that pets with higher exercise needs, behavioral concerns, medication schedules, and more can be safe with us! My wife and I both work hybrid jobs which allow us to be home whenever needed. We can provide potty breaks all through the day and supervision of your pet is guaranteed. We offer boarding in our own home and would be able to provide walks up to three times per day plus potty breaks in our backyard as much as needed.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat of my own! Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m new to the area and excited to meet other pet lovers in the community! In addition to caring for my own pets, I regularly pet sit for family members when they travel, so I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their usual routines while their people are away. I also have experience administering medications and caring for my dog with epilepsy, so I understand that some pets need a little extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I’m happy to work with you to understand your pet’s individual needs and make sure they receive thoughtful, reliable care. I’m open to all kinds of pet care, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while you’re away! Whether your pet is an energetic pup who needs a good walk, a senior pet who needs a slower pace, or a shy kitty who just needs some company, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know firsthand that pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱💕 I’m currently a master’s student and work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m home with my own pets most of the day and typically don’t leave them alone for more than 2–4 hours at a time. Having a dog with epilepsy has also made me especially mindful of providing attentive, consistent care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual routine and needs, whether that means daily walks, drop-in visits, daytime companionship, or caring for them while you’re away. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved! In My Home: I have a fenced-in backyard and three friendly dogs who may be happy to have a new playmate! I’ll make sure any introductions are safe and appropriate for your pup’s personality and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playing with other dogs or prefers relaxing and getting one-on-one attention, I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs and keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. I want your pup to feel at home while you’re away! In Your Home: I’ll follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. Whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to provide the care your pets need. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your furry family members, and I’ll treat both with respect and care!

“Micah loves Maria. If I even say her name around him he goes crazy! She takes excellent care of him. She really goes above and beyond.”

“Skylar was absolutely amazing taking care of my old girl. She was always on time and took a lot of photos. It meant everything to me knowing my pet was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you Skylar!!”

About: I have experience caring for mostly small to medium sized dogs, and often I am the one my family and friends call to take care of their dogs while they’re away! I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions carefully to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, daily walks, playtime, and giving plenty of attention and affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I strive to provide dependable, loving care and treat every dog as if they were my own baby! 🐶 I’m currently available full-time to take care of fur babies! I will be going to school sometime in August so that’s when my schedule will change a bit. My current routine allows me to provide attentive and dependable care for your babies! I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they need throughout the day. I am able to follow your pet’s normal schedule, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I believe keeping a pet’s routine consistent helps them feel comfortable and happy while their parents are away! I do have an orange cat that will be put up in his room while I take care of your babies, so no need to worry about interactions. I also have a fenced backyard so plenty of space for them to run around or go potty. And I live in a neighborhood with good walking trails.

“Best sitter! She took care of my 3 cats for 5 days. Followed all food, water, litterbox, and play instructions. Lots of pics and videos sent. She even cleaned up the glass my cat broke! And she fed my aquarium with shrimp for me. Definitely will hire again if I need another sitter before I move :) Thanks, Casey!”

“So grateful to find Ana! Incredibly sweet and great communication, 10/10 will book again!”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was five years old. My love of animals means your pet will be well taken care of. I am currently working full time but with my boys being all grown I have plenty of free time at nights and on the weekends. I provide safe loving walks, lots of playtime and lots of love to animals. Pet’s have always been a very large part of my family.

About: I love playing fetch and all fur babies! I’ve always had dogs around growing up, from Pomeranians to huskies and even black/yellow Labs. My own dog Sache has a history of seizures, so I am familiar with giving oral and pill medications. I’ve potty trained and crate trained both of our dogs. I’ll be very thorough with any services you hire me for and will send all the pics and updates needed. Feel free to even video call when you’re on vacation! I am currently enrolled in an online course, so I am flexible and can assure your pets will get the attention/interaction they need throughout the day. Generally home all days except for certain dates that’ll be blocked off. Preferred to get a request at least a day in advance. Prefer to do walks before 6pm. Pets have full access in my home. It is very dog friendly. We have a large fenced in yard area as well. There’s also a dog park very close by(walking distance). Dogs will have their own room when it’s time to go to bed or can sleep in my room with me. I am also ok with dog beds or crated, if that’s what they are used to. Dogs are allowed on furniture at my home. Will be sure to send pics and be available for check ins via FaceTime. Please ensure you have proper instructions of feeding schedule, sleeping schedule/area/crated or not, how long they can be left alone if boarding, etc.

“Kristen was absolutely wonderful! We needed a drop in sitter last minute and she was very responsive and came right over. We had constant communication and updates the whole time and they made this a wonderful experience for us. Will definitely be calling themagain!”

I've also dog sat for family and friends, handling feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away.

I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I'm currently a university student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate each pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, afternoon visits, or evening check-ins. I'm happy to communicate with owners to find a schedule that works best for both them and their pets. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions provided by owners and make sure pets stay on their normal routine. I'll always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

Sometimes my school schedule may change but I'm always going to communicate changes to my schedule! Weekends are available if needed. I have a system with my babies, they eat twice a day in the morning and evening. I usually let them run outback and they play with the dogs on either side of my house. One cat likes to go outside occasionally, but otherwise they stay with me and I'll play with them while I do schoolwork or relax. I love taking my dogs on walks and playing with them as well.

About: I’ve cared for dogs in every stage of life, from a 6-year-old rescue to puppies I raised and trained myself. My dogs are housebroken and crate trained, and I’m comfortable reinforcing structure and routines. I’ve also provided overnight care for large dogs with specific medication needs and frequent walk schedules, so I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. I’m patient, calm, and respectful of each dog’s personality. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m flexible and able to plan my day around scheduled walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m organized and punctual, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for on time, especially when they’re used to a consistent routine. Since I provide care in my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and household rules. For walks and drop-ins, I prioritize leash safety, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets have fresh water and a calm environment before I leave. During overnight stays, I maintain their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them feeling safe while their owner is away.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I have experience with boarding facilities and providing attentive, compassionate animal care. For the past 18 years, I’ve worked at a high level as a landscape designer and installer, a career that has taught me to be responsible, dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working hard. This year, I decided to take some time away from my career to slow down, pursue a better balance in life, and spend more time doing things I genuinely enjoy. Caring for animals is something that brings me a lot of joy, and I would love the opportunity to help care for yours. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. Also speak Portuguese, please call me G. I’m currently on a sabbatical. So I have tons of time to take care of yours pets. Also I got a 15k step day challenge thing, I would be happy to take your dog or cat on a walk. I have a fenced in yard and pretty pet safe. My own dogs have never scaled so there’s that. I am pretty adaptable, so if your pet requires extra care and as long it’s safe to do, I got you!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends for years, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s long walks with an energetic pup, quiet cuddle sessions with a shy cat, or making sure every pet feels safe and loved in my home, I treat every animal like family. My goal is always to give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their companions are happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Expect a warm, low-key environment where pets are treated like family. Dogs get daily walks, play sessions, and lots of affection; cats enjoy a peaceful home with enrichment and gentle attention. I keep a consistent routine so your pets feel secure, and I’m mindful of any special needs, feeding schedules, or medications. You’ll receive regular photo and text updates, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and genuine care. My goal is for your pets to come home happy and for you to return feeling relaxed knowing they were in good hands. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my space they get cozy spots, walks (for dogs), and gentle attention; in your home I stick to their familiar routine and surroundings. I always prioritize their individual needs, keep things clean and calm, and send photo updates throughout the day so you have complete peace of mind.
