Live-In Pet Care Services
Around-the-clock care for your pets in their own home. A dedicated sitter stays with them while you are away, maintaining their routine, administering medication, and keeping your home secure.
Live-In Care for Every Situation
For 27 years, Cathy’s Critter Care has provided professional live-in pet care for pet owners across San Antonio, Schertz, New Braunfels, and surrounding communities. A trained, background-checked sitter moves into your home for the duration of your absence. Your pets keep their routine. You get daily updates with photos. The house stays occupied and secure.
Standard live-in care – Your sitter stays in your home 24/7, handling all pet care and home maintenance duties. Most common for trips lasting three to seven days.
Extended absences (week+, month+) – Multi-week or multi-month coverage with consistent sitter assignment. The same person your pets already know stays for the duration, with team backup if needed.
Holiday coverage – Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, spring break, summer vacations. Team-based scheduling means coverage is available during peak holiday periods when solo sitters are fully booked.
Last-minute and emergency arrangements – A sudden work trip. A family emergency across the country. Because Cathy’s Critter Care operates as a team rather than a solo operation, capacity is typically available even with short notice.
