About Pet Sitting in Killeen
Killeen is the Fort Cavazos Gateway — a Central Texas city of approximately 153,000 in Bell County, situated adjacent to Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood), home of the 1st Cavalry Division and one of the largest military installations in the world. Killeen's identity is deeply intertwined with its military community, creating a city with a strong culture of service, community resilience, and family values.
Stillhouse Hollow Lake, a 6,430-acre reservoir on the Lampasas River south of Killeen, provides the region's premier outdoor recreation destination — with swimming beaches, hiking trails, fishing, and camping along the rocky limestone shores of Bell County's most scenic lake. The lake's surrounding parkland and trail network offer Killeen families and their dogs access to the kind of wide-open Central Texas landscape that defines life in this part of the Hill Country corridor.
The Nolan Creek Greenway is Killeen's primary urban trail corridor, a linear park system following Nolan Creek through the city's core neighborhoods with paved walking and cycling paths. Lions Club Park and Conder Park provide neighborhood recreation destinations throughout Killeen's established residential areas, while Harker Heights' Comanche Canyon and Southwest Park add additional options for the greater Killeen-Fort Cavazos community.
