About: Experience: I have taken care of dogs, large and small, since I was born. I have experience from training puppies, all the way to tempermented and incontinent seniors. I also have experience with cats, beta fish, hamsters, hermit crabs, rabbits, goats, horses, cows, deer, and donkey. I am willing to walk, feed, brush your pets, and more. For pets I don't have prior experience with, I am a quick learner, good at following instructions, and always eager to branch out. (I will not work with snakes.) Let me know what your needs are, and I'll be more than happy to work with you. Schedule: I do work full time, Monday-Friday with occasional On-Call weekends. My schedule is flexible where it does not always have to be 8a-5p. My monthly schedule is half travel (near Longview), and half work-from-home. While house sitting, as long as I can connect to your wifi, I might not have to leave your pet at all. The dates/times I travel change each month, and I try to keep my Rover Calendar updated accordingly. View my rover calendar for my availability. Let me know what dates and times you're needing help, and I'll do my best to accommodate. Services: •House Sitting includes me staying at your house over night with my car in the driveway so no one thinks the house is empty while you're away. I will feed, play, and keep your pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will also bring in your mail, water your plants, and take out the trash if it gets full. •Drop In Visits are great if you have something come up that day where you'll be gone for a longer time than usual. For example, if you're going to be gone for 12hrs, and you know your pet can't hold it more than 8hrs, I can drop in to check on them, let them out to potty, feed them, etc. This is a 30min visit. If you need more than one drop in per day, it's cheaper to book me over night, as it also saves me gas money. •View the Services Tab for pricing. •For out of town families, over 15 miles away from me, I will be charging a one time fee of $30 to accommodate for gas. (NOT a daily charge.) Depending on the location and amount of nights, I will also need to talk to you about my personal pets. I would love to discuss this in further detail at our initial meet-and-greet. Safety/Trust: Unfortunately I am unable to host cats, dogs, and other larger animals in my home. Living in a rental, it's too much of a liability. Plus, it puts my own pets at potential risk of a safety breech. However I am willing to keep your beta fish or other small animals here as needed while you are out of town. As far as tending to your fur babies in the safety of your home, where they are the most familiar and comfortable, I am trustworthy and a quick learner; I am great at following all safety instructions custom to your space and pets needs. (Ex. Don't leave the gate open, keep them on a leash when outside, etc.)
“We were very pleased with Hannah and our first time using Rover! She handled our big bully like a pro!! Hate that it rained so much they didn’t get to enjoy the dog park!”
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 cared for many dogs in my life. I have cared for friends' and family's dogs, as well as my own, ranging from chihuahuas to great danes. I have yet to meet a pooch who doesn't like me. I will provide individual quality care to each pup and will willingly help with any extra pup related requests (Baths, brushing, and medications). I am also always available by phone if you would like to ask any questions about me or how I will help take care of your precious pup. I know that each pup is an important member of the family, and assure that I will take the best of care of the pup or pups. I'm Alexis and I will be your pup's best friend! I'm a college student so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. Perfect for all your dog's needs! I always open and honest about my schedule and will never cancel last minute. My goal is to keep your pet happy and maintain their routine. I'll always have my eyes on your dog whether it's at home, on a walk, or at a dog park. I also strive to keep your home how you left it though if you need a few chores done I don't mind helping out.
About: I have plenty of free time to walk and play with your dogs and cats and keeping both you and them happy. My schedules are super flexible and I can housesit your pets whenever when you’re off to work. I can also bathe them if they have been playing in the backyard, rolling in the dirt, and gets too stinky. I do have two cats, the black one is named Happy and the orange one is named Teo. They are super sweet and I’m pretty sure our pets will get along super well! I will have a dance party with your little best friends. Oh fun fact about me is that I used to be the chaplain of FFA in high school, so I know a thing or two about animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play and walk with your fur babies. I’m available most of the time, just shoot me a message! I currently don’t have any pets in my house, so it’s perfect if your fur babies are shy or don’t do well with other pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve always owned pets and taken care of neighbors pets when away. I enjoy being able to provide them with their personal necessities i.e walking, taking to go potty, administering medications, and playing. I am not working and I am available most days of the week. I am always up for work so feel free to contact me. I prefer to do work in a clients home typically pets are more inclined to behave as regular! I am very clean and any accidents will be handled promptly, I am NOT a smoker, and am constantly checking up on pets activities and taking care of their needs.
About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.
“Kathryn was very attentive to our puppy Loki. During their walks Kathryn made sure to take pictures and keep us updated throughout their time. She is super sweet and easy to work with, we are grateful that Kathryn was able to take care of our puppy.”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kilgore. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
