Dog Walking Kilgore

About: When I was younger we had 3 dogs, they were my best girls! Over the years we had rescued 8 cats, one of our cats may have some autism but she is so gentle and just needed some love. The trick is to let them come to you so they see you as a safe space! I currently work part-time but I am not working as much this summer, I may have a few softball lessons since I play college softball. My morning and afternoons are mainly free, in the afternoon is when I workout but I am very flexible! We used to have a fenced in area in our backyard for our dogs and a pool deck (no pool) but had to tear down our deck and now we have a beautiful grassy green area with lots of plants! Our home inside is very pet friendly we have cat and dog toys as well as cat and dog food/treats!

“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: I have been in the veterinary field and pet sitting field for over 10 years, I love animals so much! and will care for yours with love and respect, as if they were my own. I am a full time veterinary technician, but make time for part time pet sitting and pet transportation. I will usually do check ins between 7-8am on the weekdays and Night time check ins around 9pm depending on the week. one week I'll work Friday-Sunday and my check in may be later at night, and the next week I have the weekends free and check ins can be anytime of the day. Depending on distance from my work I can do mid day check ins. I also do over night stays, and have a spot open for 1-2 small animals- same family for boarding. I follow every instruction that is left for me, go above and beyond to keep pet happy. I take pictures and send updates always. I make sure my pets are always left comfortable and safe, well fed and happy. I have a separate, very spacious room where i can safely board 1-2 cats of the same family, or one cat and one small dog, same family. I do have cats of my own but they do not have access to that area. I also accept small critters- reptiles as well. Cage and supplies will need to be provided.

About: Former zookeeper with 12 years of experience. I grew up riding horses before I could walk and having a variety of dogs and reptiles and birds as pets. I am comfortable taking care of most domestic, exotic and farm animals. I can give oral and basic injectable medications. I am currently working part time remotely so my schedule is very wide open. I am generally a night owl but I enjoy early morning walks as well. I currently live in an rv park close to Lake Cherokee. I am comfortable taking care of your babies in my space; however, it is an RV so space is very limited and I have no fenced in area. As for your home, I enjoy providing quality peace of mind that both your space and your pets will be extremely well looked after.

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.)

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 6 years of hands-on pet sitting experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m also a proud dog mom to my three babies: Koda (Standard Goldendoodle), Bentley (Mini Goldendoodle), and Roxy (Mini Aussie), so caring for dogs is truly part of my everyday life. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I’m experienced with maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, handling high-energy dogs, and making anxious pets feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important communication and trust are, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to create a fun, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away! 🐶✨ Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m home the majority of the day. I typically work out in the mornings, which allows me to dedicate the rest of my day to giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. I occasionally go to dinner with family or friends, but overall I have a very flexible schedule and enjoy making pets a priority in my day-to-day life. I care for every pet as if they were my own by creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, exercise, and a comfortable space to relax. I’m very mindful of maintaining their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable by keeping their routine as consistent as possible while also respecting and caring for the home. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

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 love all animals and helping people so this is a unique way to get to love on and take care of your fur babies and help you out at the same time! I have 1 Lab Mix male dog who is neutered and is super sweet and loves to play with other dogs. I also have 1 female corgi who is the exact same. I have 2 cats as well and my dogs do well with cats. My cats usually hang out outside or hidden in the house so they don't ever really make contact with the dogs but they like dogs too. All the dogs and cats sleep with us at night so they really do get along well. I've had animals my whole life. I grew up in a multiple cat and dog home and also birds and reptiles. I've done years of pet sitting so I have experience taking care of people's beloved pets. I work 7am-3pm M-Th. So I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off. I have cameras as well to keep an eye on the fur babies until I get back home from work. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space to play. I take dogs on walks around my neighborhood. I follow feeding schedules according to their owners preference.

About: Growing up I have always been an animal lover. At my house we have always had all types of animals dogs, cats, pigs etc etc. I am very good with all types of animals and I will treat your dog with the same amount of kindness and love you would treat your dog. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with a stranger especially in this day and age where people can be really scary and not trusty worthy- which is why if you trust me you won’t be let down! your fur baby will be in good hands :) I don’t think of it as a job it makes my heart happy knowing that i can help you ease your mind and help take one thing off your plate when traveling :) I currently work part time at the olive garden in longview but I pretty much am able to make my own schedules so i can be available whenever I am needed :) I live on property that is gated so your animal will not be able to run out. I have 4 other dogs that are very well behaved and love to meet and play with new animals however if that doesn’t fit for your dog i also do have secluded areas where they can be kept away from other dogs.

“Catom did such a great job walking my sweet pup! She walked him, played with him and gave him snuggles to help with his separation anxiety. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have been a military working dog Handler and trainer for 12yrs. I worked in special forces and have a robust amount of experience with the care, upkeep and training of dogs.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was younger and growing up as a child about 11 years old. Neighbors and friends relied on me to take care of their dogs or cats even fish, turtles, bird, guinea pigs, hamsters. From 2-6 only had up to 2 dogs when it came to overnight. I work mainly during the daytime and go to work until 2pm and go in at 8am and I will be able to work with my daughters schedule. I have 3 cats and they are strictly indoors. And if it's another cat I will have it separate in beginning depending on how long he or she is staying and dogs will be separated unless know ahead of time that they are friendly with cats. I feed them all at 6:40am clean litter boxes. And if I am off work I will do it again at 11 or 12 then again around 6pm dinner time. If it is just dog walking or cat sitting at clients home I will figure it out to where it works with my schedule.
