Highly-rated overnight sitters - Kilgore
“Communication was absolutely impeccable from start to finish, and I always felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. She truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. It’s clear that Shelley genuinely care about the dogs she looks after. I highly recommend anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog daycare!”
“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”
“If you’re looking for a top tier 5 star dog sitter then Joe is your man. He took the best care of our pup while we were out of town. Joe sent us multiple videos of our pup and how well she was doing her entire stay with him. I can’t recommend him enough.”
“Monica gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for 9 days on a cruise. Chance had trouble sleeping and she helped calm him down with essential oils. We are grateful for her and her boys...I can tell that Chance was well loved while we were away. I highly recommend her! We received updates and pics the whole time as well!”
“she was wonderful, brittany took great care of our pup lots of photos and videos of him playing and getting lots of attention and treats he had a few accidents bc he was nervous about a new home and she took excellent care of the situation and highly recommended to anyone that wants the security in know your pets will be well loved and taken care of.”
“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.”
“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.”

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.

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.

Unless, you want to pick that out. Just let me know!

“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.”
“Kasie was great at helping take care of our kitties! She sent updates about her visit and also provided pictures of our cats upon her visit. She also went above and beyond to try to assist us with catching a sick stray kitten on our property.”
About: Over the past 5 years we had cats come to our home, found them on roads, and found them around my old high school. We have 8 kitties, 1 outside , 7 inside. I have cleaned 6 of the 8 cats myself when we rescued them, I am currently in college so I was not around when we rescued the 2 newest kitties. I took 5 of them to the vet and administered flea and worm medicine to them. Some of them also had eye/ear problems and I would take care of them by giving them eye/ear drops with no problem (I gave them treats so they would feel better!)
About: With a lifetime of experience growing up with dogs, including a Dutch Shepard named Rita whom I taught tricks, I am comfortable with all types of animals. In fact, my dad was a dog trainer, which provided me with additional insight into proper pet care techniques. I’m fully free after work to spend all the attention on your special friends. 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 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 always loved cats, and had always been around them in some capacity growing up; Had outside cats, inside cats, befriended neighborhood cats and fed strays. I knew at a very young age that cats were just different and you needed to earn their trust and respect at their pace. I started working professionally with cats at my first veterinary job back in 2008, and it made me love them so much more. My first cat I adopted as an adult was a 16 year old tabby named Lincoln who was about to be euthanized for being bullied by the other 9 young cats at home. I said "absolutely not!" And I took him home, loved him, learned so much more about cats and he lived to be about 20 years old. I started working with rescues, with TNR projects, raising litters of kittens. I am just passionate about them. I'm patient, I understand their behavior and their language. I'm comfortable administering medications in any form (oral, injectable, etc.). Im comfortable caring for healthy cats, as well as those with special needs, and of course hospice kitties as well. I'm also always happy and ready to help with kittens. I have a deep understanding of feline medicine and will always be passionate about feline health.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life. I grew up with them and continued to take in some of my own. I work at an animal hospital therefore I’m experienced with handling and giving medication. I’m experienced in reading cat body language and will be patient with your baby. :)
About: I’ve fostered several stray cats and kittens over the years and currently have two male cats of my own. I’ve also completed drop-in visits for cats through other pet care platforms, giving me experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, routines, and needs. Through fostering and pet sitting, I’ve learned how to work with social cats, shy cats, former strays, and cats that simply prefer to do things on their own terms. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, keeping litter boxes clean, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm environment while their owners are away. One thing I’ve learned from years of caring for cats is that it’s a cat’s world and we’re just living in it. Every cat is different, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust, respect their boundaries, and provide care that matches their individual personality.

“Monica was prompt, helpful, and accommodating when i needed a last minute dog sitter. My dog, Honey Bear, hung out with her in her home, where Monica treated HB like one of her own pups. HB was only there for the afternoon, but i’m happy Monica was able to watch her while i had business in Longview! I would work with her again in the future, and suggest that you do, too!”
About: Hi! My name is Lexie. i have two dogs, Astro and Stark. Those two boys are what got me into the pet care environment. Searching for a sitter or dog walker for them made me realize I would only want the BEST for my two boys. So I decided to become one myself. I have years of experience with dogs, cats, birds, horses, goats, chickens, exotics including hedgehogs, snakes, guinea pigs, fish and many more. I am a freelance dog trainer and groom my own dogs so if your pooch needs a little spiffy up while you’re gone don’t worry! I worked in animal rescue for many years and now do dog sports so I have experience with nearly every breed of dog imaginable. My own dogs are very high energy and need both mental stimulation and physical exercise so that’s why I also offer dog walking services. Contact me if you have ANY questions or want to meet me before booking an appointment. I’ll be happy to oblige. I am usually at home caring for the dogs! I am a dog trainer so I am available to play with the dogs and let them out most of the day. I have 1 acre fenced in. If your dog is an escape artist like mine, they will be leash walked or supervised in the backyard. I do utilize a crate if you provide it. If you prefer your dog to not be in one that is respected!

“Shelby is a wonderful pet sitter who took great care of our furry girl. We had a great first impression when we met her. Amora is usually shy and doesn’t interact much, but I was surprised when I heard that she was playing with Shelby’s kids. I’m so glad that Amora’s first experience went smoothly. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Now that I have my own home, our pets are truly our babies.

“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: 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!
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: 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: 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: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.

As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to details and am experienced in recognizing changes in health or behavior. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household routines.

You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

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.

“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.

Thank you again”

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.
