“Kelsie hid a great job taking care of our dog. He is big and can be challenging and managed his with ease! She even watered our plants while we were gone and sent us pictures of our boy everyday. She was great at communicating! We will certainly use her again!”


“This is our 4th or 5th time having Jada stay with Gracie and each time has been amazing! She sends lots of pictures and has great, quick communication. I can tell by the photos and Gracies demeanor when we got home that she was happy and comfortable. And i swear our home is even cleaner than when we left. We will definitely be using Jada again soon.”

“It's hard to invite a stranger into your house when leaving town, but Matt gave us the confidence to do so. He took great care of our anxious dog, as well as our home, and kept in regular communication. We look forward to booking him again.”

“We’ve used Rover now a dozen times and never felt less worried than when Taryn was at our house with our pups! She was extremely professional, personable, and just overall wonderful!! We loved the questions she asked and her attention to detail in looking after our fellas. She was able to administer medication for our one dog, gave us plenty of updates (with fun pics), and even kept our house just as we left it somehow! Taryn is absolutely our go-to sitter now and we couldn’t recommend her more!!”

About: We’ve always had animals as part of the family - from cats and dogs to fish and birds. I’d love to take great care your animal family members too! I work Monday through Thursday so I can do evening visits and anytime visits on the weekends. I am able to spend either the thirty minutes or the full hour! Depending on the care you need, I’m happy to work with you and your pet to keep them as safe and happy as is possible
“Katherine and Sundeep took great care of our dog, Bodhi. During meet and greet, they were thorough with their questions so they would only reach out for daily updates. They wanted us to truly be on vacation! They asked where our cleaning supplies were so they could wash the sheets and towels before we got home. So generous and unexpected! It was wonderful to come to happy dog and clean house. Bodhi was pooped out from playing all weekend 😊”

About: I love all animals I have experience walking, bathing and playing with all kinds of fur babies. I am a high energy person and enjoy playful pups and taking walks. I am currently available every day of the week and I am flexible with last min booking and cancellations. I am also able to stay at clients places if needed. I will be caring for pets at my clients homes however they indicate me to do so. I am able to assist with training and will take extra precaution with any special needs. I will ensure your baby’s needs are met! I done believe in the just feed and water to their bowl I want to make sure they get to play and not feel so lonely. I will prioritize gaining your and your pets trust.
“Alexis came to the rescue again! Our pups love her and get so excited when they get to spend time with her. She will treat them like her own and send you updates constantly! your pups are safe with her❤️🥰”

“Good service: Good communication and promptness, excellent rates, and my dog seemed pleased. I’ll definitely use Soraya again if needed in that area (probably in 2 months from now).”

About: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life and professionally work in veterinary medicine, where I care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities, ages, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine. My veterinary experience has also taught me to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall well-being. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, attention, and the same love I give my own. My schedule gives me flexibility for pet care, especially evenings, weekends, and days when I’m not working. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and make sure I only accept bookings that I can give my full attention to. I’m especially interested in weekend boarding, drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I take pet safety seriously and treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My veterinary experience has taught me to be attentive to behavior, health changes, medications, feeding routines, and individual needs. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, provide regular updates, and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable in a safe environment. I also have a small fenced in yard.
About: I have owned animals most of my life. I had my first horse when I was 10 and my first dog when I was 12. Since then I have always had 1 and up to 4 pets at a time. I have had both dogs and cats, and still do. I have raised several puppies, but now I only adopt older dogs. When I travel, I always prefer for someone to come to my house where my pets feel the most comfortable and safe. Therefor my services are to stay with your pet/pets at their home. I am semi retired and need to stay active and engaged. I strive to schedule everyone's needs, but will not over promise and under deliver. Currently I am open 7 days a week for walking, sitting or play dates. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I live in a condominium with a small yard for the dogs to enjoy. Nevertheless, they still need more activity and stimulation so they still get daily walks. Olive the cat, comes and goes as she pleases, but is well fed and knows her love is here. All of my animals come from a rescue organization or the Animal Defense League. They are well loved, fed 2x a day, sleep on furniture and my bed with me, and of course taken on walks daily. I also, have a groomer that comes to the casa to bath and manicure them as they feel most secure with her than going to a grooming location. All of my pets are female, and have regular visits to the vet for the necessities.
“Kadence is an amazing sitter! I have four adorable fur babies, and they can be quite challenging, but Kadence handled everything with ease. I can't wait to book her again for our pet care needs she's simply the best!”

About: I’ve had experience with many different breeds and have owned a few different breeds myself, from a chihuahua to a pitbull to a Great Dane. I’ve dealt with a variety of personalities and can handle them all! I’m currently in 2 schools, but am very organized and have a lot of spare time on my hands that would make perfect time to care for your pup. My house has a fenced yard if it was ever needed to bring your pet to my home & I am also very reliable when it comes to the way your pet has its routine in your own home.
About: I've had dogs every since I was 10 years old, I have an eye for detail and care for them as they were my own. I'm basically free whenever is needed as I'm sorta out of a Job right now so if you need a sitting just let me know! I have a fenced Backyard as well as my neighborhood is pet friendly with trails to walk dogs and parks nearby for them to play in.
“Gabrielle was amazing! Kept in communication, sent tons of pictures and provided great updates on Tyson and Tess. She left my house spotless and did a wonderful job keeping up with the litter boxes AND their food.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I don’t just stop by to feed them or take them on a walk, I spend time getting to know their personality, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ve been caring for pets since I was in high school through dog walking, pet sitting, and house sitting, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters. As a pet owner myself to both a French Poodle Toy and a cat, I understand how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your furry family member. I’m dependable, patient, and detail-oriented. Whether it’s sticking to your pet’s routine, cleaning up after them, refreshing water bowls, scooping litter boxes, or giving them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently earning my graduate degree through a fully online program, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available every day for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care. Because my classes are online, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, so I always do my best to keep them on their normal routine. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed and instructed), and any special routines your pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, secure, and tidy. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for until you return home.
About: Located in Universal City, TX. I love dogs and I love meeting new dogs! I have 2 of my own and have previously had 3 pets at once- a chihuahua, pitsky, and a cat. Now I have a chihuahua and an American bully. They are my life. They have also taught me more patience than I can express 😅 so if you have a dog that needs a little extra attention, I got you. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me but if yours is the exception then I’m happy to work with your doggy to build trust. This is a part time job for fun and extra money. I have a part time job from 8pm-12am. I’m a night owl so my hours will mainly be in the evening and afternoon. Mornings don’t mix with me so I will rarely be available then but exceptions can be made. I can take your pooch for walks, play time, potty breaks, medication administration, or just chill out with them to keep them company! I will never provide a service I am not comfortable with for myself and your doggy’s safety. I do not provide grooming services for safety reasons. I do not provide boarding services.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Live Oak
I cannot recommend Gessika highly enough! I had a last-minute emergency while my husband was in brain surgery and couldn't make it home to care for our golden retriever, Sailor. Gessika jumped in without missing a beat. She kept us updated with frequent photos and texts, giving us complete peace of mind during a critical moment. She is reliable, compassionate, and truly amazing. Thank you, Gessika!

Nancy was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have been happier with my experience. She left my house the same way I left it and made sure all my furry children were cared for like her own! We even had a problem with our heat and she was very accommodating helping us get the problem situated and made sure our house was safe during a terrible rain and wind storm. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you again!

Morgan is such a gem! It's usually hard as a dog (and home) owner to trust someone new to look after them when you need to leave town for travels but Morgan put my mind fully at ease when she came over for a meet and greet with my pup. We chatted for a while when she was over and she's very personable, caring, knowledgeable, and very well prepared to look after your animals and space. Thanks again Morgan for all of the updates and taking care of the place too when you were here! I would love to have you back next time I'm in need of a sitter. In fact, I'm already planning another trip now that we're super comfortable Waffle has a good person to look after her and she'd be in good hands. Will keep in touch, hope to see you again soon. Thanks for everything!!
Alexis has been the best house sitter. She's absolutely wonderful with our girls and very good with updates. I'm always excited to see pictures of the pups. Our 3 dogs get along very well with her. She has very good energy which I think makes our dogs so comfortable.

Love love love! Jasmine was an angel! She came to sit for us while we were already out of town. We unfortunately did not get to meet her, but our dogs loved her right away. She was sweet to them, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond the call to make sure our poochies were taken care of. Do not hesitate to hire her.

Stephanie is incredible with both cats and dogs! She asked all the questions she needed and followed our routine beautifully. This truly helped especially with keeping up my dog’s training. She sent plenty of photos and was a joy to work with. Thanks again Pink Paws Lady!

Josh was a wonderful dog sitter! He took such great care of both of our pups with very different needs. He kept our 2-year-old active and got lots of walks and playtime in, and he assisted our senior dog with mobility issues to use the restroom multiple times a day, including carrying him in and out. He also made sure he ate his food and even fed him when needed. Josh took great care of our home, too; everything was tidy and spotless. He even washed used towels and folded them nicely. He kept us updated with plenty of photos throughout the stay as well. Highly recommend Josh - he is kind, attentive and takes wonderful care of pups and your home!

Makala was amazing with Terre! She was reliable, communicative, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What stood out most was how much Terre loved her. I got to spend some time with her myself, and Terre kept going over to cuddle with her, which says a lot because he’s usually pretty attached to me. It was obvious that he felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Brittany was absolutely amazing to my dogs while I was away. She provided detailed updates with pictures and videos throughout her stay at my home with my dogs. She even left a daily activity log outlining my pup’s potty breaks and eating schedule. She provided them with lots of love can care! I will be booking with her in the future.

Pamela was an absolute lifesaver while I was away! She took care of my dog, Zildjian, and my cat, Olive, for five days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she completely relieved my stress by being reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She came by three times a day like clockwork, making sure both of my pets were happy, fed, and well-loved. What really stood out was how thoughtful she was with updates—she sent regular photos and messages that gave me total peace of mind. Even during a horrible thunderstorm, she went above and beyond to check on them and make sure they felt safe and comforted Because of Pamela, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my vacation, knowing everything at home was in the best hands possible. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly dedicated, Pamela is the one. I would absolutely book her again without hesitation!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t be happier with the care Mora and Raylan received! From the moment we met, it was clear Dawn truly loves and understands dogs. Mora and Raylan were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned, which says everything. We received great updates and photos, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable, loving hands. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring — we would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!

Ka'rynne was wonderful, checking in regularly and sending pictures and video. My dogs were very relaxed and displayed regular behavior, playing, etc... She was very respectful of my house and left it in the same condition I left it. I will use Ka'rynne in the future without hesitation.

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!

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.
