“Shelley is absolutely amazing! We feel so lucky to have found her to care for our dog, Opie. She truly loves him and treats him like a king every time he stays with her. Opie always comes home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for, and he gets so excited every time he gets to see Shelley again! It gives us such peace of mind knowing Opie is with someone who genuinely cares about him and treats him like her own. Shelley is dependable, loving, attentive, and simply the best. We could not recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their furry family member. Opie absolutely adores her, and so do we!”
“Tracy was great with our dog Bo. He now has a new extended family. Her communication was great she is very responsive and kept in touch with us while we were out of town through pictures and text. Really 5 stars are not enough for the attention and care she provided while taking care of Bo. I would highly recommend Tracy and will use her again.”
“Justin is hands down the "pawfect" dog-sitter in Texas. He responds quickly and made me very comfortable during my first boarding with my puppy. Lilly loved Justin and felt right at home with him. He let Lilly sleep next to him and played with him in his yard. I loved receiving photos and videos of Lilly while I was away. Thank you so much Justin-”
“We LOVE Lexi! She’s watched our fur babies many times and always sends pictures and updates throughout their stay. They basically run inside when we drop them off (which is such a good sign) and are always happy and healthy when we pick them up. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Eliza was just simply fantastic. I found myself in a position where I needed to have another sitter for the boys literally the last minute. She replied almost instantly and really helped me out. When I arrived I simply knew that she cared deeply about providing the best experience for my furry family members. Highly recommend her and I will not hesitate to rebook in the future. Thank you again”
“Joe could not have been a better caretaker for my dog, Hutch, while I was at a convention. The communication couldn’t have been better, and he will be my choice for any and all dog boarding needs in the DFW area”
“Jerry took excellent care of Milo for us last minute this holiday weekend, and I loved the frequent photo updates. We will definitely use him again next time we are in town.”
“OMG! Monica is the best! This is the first time we have used this service for our girls and we will never use another again. She took such good care of our girls and gave us updates daily including pictures. The girls had a great time! Thank you Monica! ?”

“Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. He was so happy and comfortable with her that I don’t think he even missed me! 😂🐾 I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 💕”
“Bailee’s communication is phenomenal! She responds fairly quick and gave us constant picture updates of our fur baby’s progress. Ozzy seemed to have made himself at home and had fun there because he came back sleepy, which is good for us! :)”
“We had an excellent experience. George was well taken care of and thoroughly enjoyed playing with Shelby's sons. I'll definitely go back to Shelby when I have travel plans where George can't go with me. Many thanks to Shelby for taking the worry out of traveling.”

“Anniyah was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Hexton! From start to finish, she was incredibly communicative with me, providing regular updates that kept my mind completely at ease while I was away. It is so clear how much Hexton loves her, and she took such wonderful care of him. I highly recommend booking Anniyah if you want top-tier care for your pet. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: I am currently a student of the University of Texas Arlington working on my Master’s degree in Social Work and I am hoping to make some extra money to help pay for some of the college expenses. A few fun facts about me are that I love playing sports, having movie nights, and cooking. Growing up, I had a ton of animals and currently I don’t have any pets so I miss loving on all the fur babies. I love spending time loving and playing with dogs and I believe this is a great opportunity for me to be able to do that, make a little extra money, and get some exercise in as well. I am working full time from 8:30am to 5pm, however, I would be open to doing a walk and check in during my lunch hour and anytime before or after work. When the pets are in my home, they are allowed to roam free and play all they want as long as they are potty trained. In the clients home I respectfully abide by the owners instructions left for me.
About: I've babysat my sisters Pet Pitbull for over a year, I have loved animals pretty much all my life! I can't wait to meet your furry little friends :) I've also babysat my cousin Aarons cat for a few months, and equally love cats as well. It would fit in perfectly. I am Available all days of the week. My schedule is not entirely that buzy so i have alot of time I would care for them in my home. I will provide food and water if needed. Unless, you want to pick that out. Just let me know!
About: I live in Whitehouse with my husband Casey and our 2 little dogs Parker and Wally. We both work from home full time, which leaves us with plenty of availability to have dog friends come stay with us! We go walking regularly, have a secure yard, and our house is very dog friendly. Both my husband and I work from home full time, so we are home all day long. We are able to accommodate regular potty breaks in our large fenced backyard, and typically do walks in the morning or evening. I have lived in Whitehouse my entire life and am very familiar with the surrounding neighborhoods. I am very careful with my own dog (never unleashed, supervised backyard time) and will do the same with others pets. We treat our dogs and other dogs like family, ensuring the dogs are comfortable and safe when at our home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kilgore on Rover is $22.2 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 104 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kilgore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kilgore home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kilgore.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Kilgore sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
