“Kasie has been great with our berner! He’s older and never had drop in visits so he’s been a little hesitant with her but she has been great and so patient with him, we appreciate her time and effort!”
“This girl is awesome! My parents are elderly and my mom was there for one of her visits and she still made sure to communicate everything necessary. She played with my younger hyper male and snuggled my senior when she felt he was missing us. I will definitely b rebooking her in the future.”
About: Hi! I have been taking animals for the majority of my life. I have an 11yr old Sheltie of my own and I grew up on a ranch with horses, goats, dogs and various other animals. I house sat/ dog sat throughout college. I trained my own dog and have helped train various other dogs. Hi Yall! I’m located in East Texas, willing to travel for sittings if needed. My schedule is very flexible, if I don’t have a date available it’s due to being busy at that time but please still reach out and I can see what I can do :) I have one friendly fur baby, she’s 13 and loves to go on walks if your fur baby ever needs company! If your dog isn’t friendly, she doesn’t mind being left at home to sleep! I can crate, feed/water, exercise and help you take care of whatever needs your fur baby has! I love being outside hiking, so if your dog needs to get outside and adventure i’m your girl to help :)

I will make them my priority in all my free times. Able to follow your instructions to the order.The more information you have to share the better! I want you to leave feeling safe and secure!

About: Hi! I’m an International Professional Dog Groomer working with animals since 2019. Caring for pets is more than a job for me — it’s truly my passion. I’ve worked in both veterinary hospitals and professional grooming salons, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and individual needs. As I do have a professional background in grooming. When appropriate and discussed within your booking, I’m happy to incorporate grooming care to ensure your pet is not only feeling there best but looking there best! My goal is always to provide services where your pet feels loved and well cared for.

I structure my days around the needs of the pets in my care to ensure they receive proper attention, supervision, and timely services. Throughout the day, I schedule time for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, grooming appointments, and rest periods. I am intentional about not overbooking so each pet receives the quality care, patience, and one-on-one attention they deserve. My weekly routine is flexible to accommodate both grooming and boarding clients, while still maintaining a calm and structured environment. This allows me to provide reliable, attentive care and adjust as needed based on each pet’s individual needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, while I maintain open communication with pet parents through updates, photos, and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. Following your instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, walking preferences, and any special care needs. For grooming services, I use a gentle, low-stress approach, allowing pets to feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I take my time and adjust based on each pet’s behavior and needs.
About: I have had dogs my whole life until I got horses at 13. At one point in my life, I was taking care of 4 dogs (almost 6), a bunny, and 6 horses. Over the years, I have lost some of my animals, so now I care for 1 dog and 4 horses. I love animals; I honestly can't imagine my life without them. Also, I worked at a vet's office as a kennel tech for 3 years. So I am very comfortable with anything that your pet might need within reason. I'm currently doing online classes in college. My schedule is flexible, and I will communicate if it changes. Weekends can be free, but I love spending time with my family and having my own time to do whatever I need to do. When I go to someone's home, I like to ask questions that will help me better understand their pet. I am very patient, willing to go at their pace. I am good at following instructions. I will be there on time, make sure they have everything they might need, and communicate if I can't find it, if your pet may need something, or if I have questions. Also, I will tell you if I see anything out of the ordinary
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: Hey! My name is Stefanie and I have been taking care of animals for almost my entire life. I have experience with both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets for you. I hold myself to the same standards that I would expect from my own pet sitters. I can handle animals of all shapes and sizes, even your giant breeds! I have experience in the veterinary field and have cared for pets with all types of dietary restrictions, medical needs, and temperaments - so if your pet needs some special attention, I'm your gal! I have had dogs for almost my entire life. As a child my family had a Lhasa Apso, and he lived a long and happy life with us. I have had pets of my own since 2014, and all my pups are seniors now - they have a special place in my heart! I also have two sweet young cats and would love to check on your feline kiddos. I am a full time mother so I am readily available for drop in visits, overnights, and walks. Please note that my infant son will be with me during all visits. I will of course assume responsibility for my kiddo being safe around your pets, but please be mindful of your pets' temperament with children when booking! My ideal scenario when caring for your pets is to adopt their current routine - I find that keeps them the happiest while their people are away. I'm happy to visit on whatever schedule is best for you, and I'm happy to do overnights as needed.
“I always enjoy Kathryn being around Marley, she is truly amazing on what she does. You can see the love she has for dogs. I was comfortable knowing that she will do a few drop ins with Marley while we were at Disneyland. I totally recommend her. Can’t wait for the next one, Marley loves you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kilgore
Mikalah P. was fantastic! Her love of animals shines brightly and my lab absolutely adored her! We used her for walking while we were out of town, and she was so creative in thinking of fun and different things to do to keep Bonnie stimulated! She is flexible and willing to do whatever you need. I highly recommend!!
Wow! What an amazing, dedicated young woman! She went past above and beyond. Our dog is a Malinois mix, and extremely territorial. Mikalah is such a dog lover, she got dog kisses on her first visit. On top of that, our dog was on at least 6 different medications. Mikalah handled this flawlessly. To make matters even more challenging, there was a HUGE snowstorm. I almost didn’t go on my trip, but Mikalah reassured me she would be there rain or snow. Schools and businesses closed, but she made it morning and night to our dog. So grateful to have found her!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kilgore is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 299 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kilgore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitter.
