About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. Also I’be work at different vet clinics through my life.so I have the experience to take care of your animals in best way possible. I’m currently a bather at my clinic so if baths and nail trims is something you want added on that is something I can do for you as well. I do work during the week but have weekends off and if it close to work during the week I can stop by during my breaks to play and let them out to potty. I have my own furry babies that are super friendly to play with if you want that environment or they can have my divided attention.
“Britney was the sweetest person! She was great with my girls and they were very relaxed with her even though they just met her. If we are ever in her area again, we would definitely use her again! I highly recommend her.”

“Vernelle took great care of our three dogs while we were out of town for a few days. One of my dogs is terrified of of strangers and she did great with her. We got updates and cute pictures and she even brought the mail in for us and washed the dogs bowls. 10/10 would not hesitate to have Vernelle watch the critters again!”

About: I have had a dog or cat in my life for over 5 decades. My parents raised dogs and taught me early in life how to care for pets. My heart has always belonged to some sort of pet from rabbits, guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Big dogs, smaller dogs and everything in between. I have loved them all. I am confident in my love and ability to care for all pets and appreciate my time with them. I feel pets are an essential part of my every day life. I am a Doggie Mama to 3 Basset hounds and a Rat Terrier who thinks he is a Basset hound. Our life is really blessed and very good and we wouldn't change a thing.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life! I grew up taking turns potty training, walking and trick training our dogs. I also have experience bottle feeding puppies. I have partial experience caring for senior fur babies. I also have partial experience giving oral medication. I know some dogs have their own preferences for medicine taking, whether with cheese, meat or peanut butter. Just let me know what works for them and I’ll do it! We didn’t have our senior dog for very long but I am more than willing to learn what your baby needs and will do whatever it takes to make them happy and comfy! I’m excited to meet, love and care for your pup! I currently work, mostly, full time. Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings are my free time during the week, but I am also willing to work before or after work on the other days! Also, my Saturdays are entirely open! I unfortunately cannot offer boarding but I can come to your pet and give them the best care I can! Depending on what your pet needs I can let them out to potty in a fenced yard or I can walk them then crate them after, if called for. I can stay for as long as needed to accommodate their potty break and/or if they need play time or just some company! I will follow whatever schedule you have set up for them!

“Christina did a great job taking care of my dog. She even spent extra time with her when she saw my dog was missing me. I would definitely use her again if I need to go out of town.”

“Ashely was absolutely great! She not only took great care of my cats but definitely took the time to get to know them, even though they are shy. Kept me informed and provided pictures each day. Definitely recommend!”

About: I am the proud owner of 3 little Shi Tzu's. My husband travels with his work so there are lots of time I am by myself at home. I would love to help with your fur babies needs. We are a very dependable and honest couple that is originally from Louisiana but have lived in Texas for almost 20 years. My entire life I have had animals of all kinds but mainly dogs. We have had big dogs to very small pets. I have a sister that was a assistant Vet for about 30 years and she has taught me a lot about how to safely care for their health and maintain a good diet and exercise. Love All types of Pets !!! Your pet will be able to run with ours and I take mine outside all throughout the day. If you would prefer them to be created I will provide them with any rules you would normally do at your home. I promise your pet will be loved and cared for as if they were my own.
“Mickenzie is a fantastic dog sitter and a flexible one as well. She is happy to make sure our pups needs our met and gives detailed status reports on their health and playtime.”

“Alex dropped in on my insulin dependent kitty while I was on vacation. Her updates were very thorough and always included cute photos! I really appreciated the details she sent over and I knew my kitty was in excellent hands, so that I didn't have to worry during my vacation.”

“My fur babies are happy and healthy, and Marti was in constant communication with me regarding their care during my week away. Everything went smoothly and I would definitely recommend her to care for any and all fur babies!”

“Shawna was fantastic with our dogs and cats, she has a very calm and relaxing demeanor which I think helps the dogs having someone new take care of them.She was very informative while we were gone on what was going on and how they were doing. Would definitely recommend having Shawna take care of your animals!”

About: Aside from taking care of my pups, I have also worked with other family and friends fur babies. My family used to breed Bull Mastives, so newborn pups are not a problem either. I am currently an online college student looking for work. I would love to have this be my only source of income while I finish my studies. I have a very open and flexible, the only non-negotiables are church times! We obviously start with food and water, but we try to do baths at least twice a month. We do daily walks and mobility exercises for our older pup. I love having grooming sessions and making our pups feel like they are the most important thing to walk on earth!
About: Hi! I’m Ebony, a 20 year old college student born and raised in Texas, living in the Longview area. I’ve always loved working with animals and in the past I’ve had four dogs and three cats. But I currently have two dogs and one cat at home! I also used to volunteer regularly at the Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center, so I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and personalities. I’m quick to respond and always happy to help with last minute bookings, walks, and check-ins. I’d love to connect with local pet owners and help care for your pets like they’re my own! I’m a full time online student at Lamar University, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. I walk, feed, entertain, and love my own pets every day, and I’ve taken in stray animals in tough situations for years. I’m great with energetic or hyperactive pets and love keeping them happy and engaged through play and attention.
About: I have been taking care of cats, dogs, various rodents, and birds since I was old enough to reach the sink to fill their water bowls! My professional dog walking and pet sitting experience began in 2012 when my employer at the time needed someone to watch her three dogs, two birds, and several needy houseplants while her family took a two month long vacation out of the country. I enjoyed the experience so much that I found a pet sitting and dog walking service to work for and was with Mutts of Greenwich for two years before I began to do pet sitting in my hometown of New Canaan, CT. I offered cage and aquarium cleaning services for my clients as well, which they loved! Having moved to Colorado Springs, I look forward to creating a great relationship with new clients (and their owners!) here in town :) As a full-time student with online classes, my schedule is extremely flexible which makes petcare a great fit. I am able to set appointments and do my schoolwork around them. There is nothing like a good walk with a cute doggy to help reset my brain after a hard assignment! My fenced in yard is safe and provides my 3 cats and 1 dog (and multiple squirrel and bird families) with a little piece of heaven. I also love being able to care for my pet friends in their own homes where they are already comfortable and safe! I have cared for ferrets, parrots, guinea pigs, peacocks, rats, hamsters, dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes and even snakes. I am also experienced with giving medications and assisting special needs and elderly dogs and cats.
About: I have had many dogs for most of my life since I was 5, from big to small. Friends and family have called upon me to watch and love on their babies whenever needed. I'm currently working full time 8-5, M-F so iam available for walking your babies anytime after 5 and in between lunch 1230-2. Available for in house sitting,drop ins and walks on weekends and holidays! I am able to travel to Gladewater, White Oak, Longview and Tyler area and pretty flexible I can maintain a fun and clean environment while I stay in your home and I believe staying in the animals home can be more comforting for them!
About: Hi, I’m Alyviah! I’m 24, a veteran, and a lifelong animal lover. My crew includes two mini schnauzers, two cats, and a banana ball python, so caring for different personalities and species is part of my everyday life. I’ve had dogs big and small throughout my life. For the past 4 years, I’ve provided walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and boarding for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I’ve also rescued and fostered stray animals and volunteered with local adoption centers. Life can be unpredictable, so I’d love to help when you need an extra hand. I would love to create new memories with your furry, feathered, and scaly babies and hopefully become your go-to gal! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days, including weekends, allowing me to provide reliable care when needed. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and following their routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make their time away from their owner as stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I also believe communication is important, so I like to provide updates and photos when possible. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 59 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gilmer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
