“Kelsie was the perfect sitter for us! She was extremely professional, our pups loved her, and that was exactly what we were hoping for. She sent photos often, which made us smile and reinforced our decision to work with her. All communication was clear and occurred with perfect frequency. We will most definitely be asking for Kelsie again. She was very respectful of our home and has a great personality. Many thanks from us and of course peanut and Annie 🩷”
“Jada has stayed at our house several times and always goes above and beyond. She is very communicative, always on time, ensures the pups are well loved (and gives them lots of treats), and always leave our house clean. We highly recommend Jada.”
“Alexis was absolutely amazing! The care, love and time she spent with our fur babies was amazing. It is so nice to be able to go on vacation and not have a worry in the world about what’s happening at home. We already booked her for our next vacation. Will be using 100% again in the future.”
“Briannah did a great job cat sitting! She sent updates regularly along with pictures of all the babies. She also did amazing with the kittens in quarantine, making sure the space was clean, potty was scooped, and kittens were medicated. Very reliable!”
“Alexis is a fantastic sitter. Our dogs love her. She is very diligent at giving us reports on how they are doing. We are very grateful to have found her and will continue to have her anytime we have a need for a sitter.”
“Ruth did an excellent job caring for our fur babies. We had a dog that recently had surgery and we were concerned about leaving him alone. Ruth was able to also administer his medication. Our babies really enjoyed having her. You could tell how caring and attentive she was to them the moment she walked in the door.”
“Ben did an amazing job watching Luna. We got lots of updates and adorable pictures! My husband and I were able to relax on vaca knowing our baby was being well taken care of and having fun. Best part was bringing her home and having her sleep all day, and the next! :-)”
“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!”
About: I've grown up around dogs and currently have three of my own, so caring for them has been part of my daily life for years. 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 understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. 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.
“Elizabeth is amazing! :) She truly cared for our fur babies like they were her own. Even when a rain storm came in, she took a few extra steps to help them relax as they get very anxious. She sent lots of communication and photos and made us feel completely at ease the entire time we were gone. It felt like we had someone from our own family watching them and it’s obvious the pups LOVE her! We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Avrielle was an absolute delight to house-sit for us while we were away. She made sure all of our pets (2 dogs, 3 cats) were cared for and loved and sent us regular updates via text/photos about their daily activities, including walks, feeding, etc. She even kept all of my outdoor potted plants watered and fountain full during a summer heat spell. Our home was kept very clean, which I also appreciate. There’s nothing like returning to a clean, cared for home. I will not hesitate to hire her again for all our future house-sitting needs. Thank you so much, Avrielle!”
“We are so grateful for Jill! She stepped in last minute to care for our two dogs and cat over the holidays, and she did an absolutely wonderful job. From the moment we met her, we could tell she was kind, professional, and truly passionate about animals. Our pets were well cared for, happy, and relaxed when we returned. Jill kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her and will definitely reach out next time we need a sitter!”
“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).”
“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!”

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!
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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Live Oak is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $59 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,793 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
