“Wonderful experience! Great communication, kind, and caring. Panther was well taken care of, and we truly appreciated the peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Tracy was amazing with our dog who can be very anxious. This was the first time ever that we have picked him up from boarding that he was completely calm and didn’t seem stressed at all. Tracy sent pictures and communicated all weekend. I would recommend Tracy to anyone. Our little guy was treated with care and love just like he was one of their own.”
“As always, Stella had a wonderful stay with Justin & Echo! We love the daily pictures & videos while we're away. It's great to see how much our Stella loves being with you both, and we can tell she misses her friends when she comes home. Thank you, Justin, for taking such good care of our little one! You are the best!!!”
“Eliza was amazing! She took great care of my dog, kept me updated, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Brittany was so easy to work with, great communicator and provided regular updates. Moxie had fun, but did come home with an upset tummy. That can happen in any boarding situation.”
“Monica was very easy to work with. Kali, one year old English Cocker, is very attached to just us as we travel a lot for our job. She was a bit tentative but Monica worked with her and took great care of her. By the time we picked up Kali from the long weekend I’m not sure she wanted to come home with us. Would use Monica again if we need a Sitter.”
“Duke came back very happy. Joe was very helpful. He sent me several pics and videos of Duke playing and walking. I 💯 recommend him for anyone. He did a wonderful job of calming my hyper pup. Thanks again!!”
“This was my first boarding experience and one of my dogs has abandonment and anxiety issues. Jerry responded quickly to any questions that I had and supplied pictures daily and let me know how they were doing. He even made one of the dogs that wasn't eating some chicken and ground beef which I really appreciate. I felt like my dogs were in good hands and will be a returning customer. Thank you Jerry for making this nervous mamma feel at ease.”
“We LOVE Lexi! I can’t count the amount of times our pups have stayed with her. We have a senior dog and a hyper mutt but both come home super happy and well taken care of. Lexi sends plenty of pictures throughout their time with her and keeps us updated during their stay. We’ll continue to send our pups to Lexi as long as she’ll have us!”
“Shelby did amazing watching our puppy! Our puppy was well taken care of and most likely did not want to leave lol. They spoiled her and did their best to spend the most time with her! Shelby notified me every time they were doing stuff and made sure to check in! Shelby is amazing and I will definitely let her watch my dogs in the future!!”
“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! :)”

“Jordan is amazing! She kept me updated with daily updates and pictures. And my dog was so happy with her and her family. My dog was very well cared for with Jordan. She definitely takes care of your dog as if they were her own. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Susan did an amazing job helping us through the whole process. She kept us up to date about our dogs status and even sent us pictures! I highly recommend her!!! She has her own crates and recommends bringing their favorite thing for comfort. Love that!!”
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.
“I can't say enough good things about Luke. I boarded my dog, JD, with him for 6 days while I was out of town, and the experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I would 100% recommend Luke.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kilgore on Rover is $22.2 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 100 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.
