Dog Boarding in Alton

“Highly recommend using Tami to care for your pet! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone for the first time but she made me feel at ease and took great care of my dog! She sent me pictures and texts to ensure me my dog was doing great!”

“Racheal took very good of my baby & I could tell he had a wonderful time! He was so worn out when he got home! He really didn’t want to leave, he loved having playmates! Racheal kept me updated on how he was doing & I loved how she did a slow introduction with her current dogs. You can tell she priorities safety & keeps a watchful eye on the doggos. They have plenty of space to play & the set up was really nice! Will have to bring my baby back when I go out of town again & he can’t come with me.”

“Danielle was wonderful and I would love to book again. Definitely recommend her. She took wonderful care of Sonoma and was great to work with!”

“Ebony has been our go-to sitter for Chloe for a few years. She is incredibly responsive and caring. Additionally she always checks in with pics while we are away. There is no one else that we would trust our fur baby with! She loves hanging out with Ms. Ebony and Biscuit.”

“She sent me pictures every single day and reassured me my fur baby was happy and safe. We would use her services again and I highly recommend her”

“Phenomenal job. Looked and cared deeply over my dog. Kept me updated and had her at her happiest. I will definitely be using Truess again for future bookings.”

“Kyleen was absolutely wonderful. We unexpectedly needed week long care for our 2 dogs over the Christmas holiday and feel so lucky to have found Kyleen. Our dogs were so happy and well taken care of and will definitely contact again when we need somewhere for our dogs to stay. Her communication was amazing. Kyleen sent daily updates and photos on how our dogs were doing. That first day she sent multiple updates which I very much appreciated.”

“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”

“Laronna and her Mom were great sitters! Mocha is a senior dog and wears diaper but they were able to accommodate her. Mocha was comfortable and happy. We love the pictures and videos update. We highly recommended her and will definitely use her service again. Thanks again Laronna!”

“Great stay! Both dogs had a blast and you could tell they were all tired out from running around. Sarah was even able to help my Cassie with her injured tail and medicine, no problem. I would definitely book again.”

About: Hi, I’m Gabbi, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for other people’s pets! I am new to Rover, but I have multiple pet sitting references that I can provide from customers that have had me hired me for years! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes from Great Pyrenees to Chihuahuas. I’ve also handled many different temperaments, so I am fit for anything. I’ve watched dogs who need vigorous exercise, as well as the opposite. I’ve cared for puppies and kittens, seniors, and every age in between. I’ve watched a litter of kittens that were still nursing. I have experience with cats and dogs affected by cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness, and other special needs. I am experienced in administering multiple forms of medication. I also volunteer for an animal shelter, which gives me a lot of unique situations and experiences! I have a relatively flexible schedule. I work part time at a dog grooming salon. My shifts are rarely ever more than 6 hours and I only work up to 3 days a week. I do sometimes have other commitments that are unlikely to take more than 4 hours at a time. I am currently only taking one online college class so that does not interfere with my availability. For people interested in boarding, I have a fenced yard and a 9/yo, 15 lb Shih Tzu who is very friendly. He is laid back and prefers dogs who are also laid back, but has never shown aggression with high energy dogs. I typically walk the dogs I watch at least once a day, but that can vary on the age and/or the activity level of the dog. I can also take them to a park, weather permitting! I always try to keep the pups experience as stress-free as possible, so I listen closely to everything you tell me about your pet. I try to stick to any routine that you guys share, whether that be feeding times, walking times, or anything else! I live in a quiet neighborhood where your dog will be safe with me.

“Really good sitter! She sent me a lot of photos of my pet and was overall really great! Highly recommend.”

“Tim and his wife have lovingly cared for our two labradors many times over the past two years. Tim and his wife are highly professional, as well as thoughtful and deliberate in their caretaking. Each time we leave the dogs with Tim, he makes sure to spend ample time with our dogs during the day. He does not simply let them out and crate them, he makes sure they are supervised and receive human interaction and playtime. The dogs are happy to see Tim and his wife. The level of attention and care they give to the dogs is obvious. We have left the dogs for both short weekends and longer periods of time. Most recently, Tim cared for the dogs for over two weeks. While we were away, they provided updates when requested in a very prompt and attentive manner, but also are very mindful that we are on vacation. I was thrilled with how seamless and stress-free our experience was during this extended period of time, just the same as during shorter windows of time that Tim and his wife spend with the dogs. The dogs are very happy when we come home. They are clearly well cared for, clean, and very happy. Their coats are shiny and they have a big smile on their faces, letting me know they received lots of pets! One of our labradors is very calm, and the other is very high energy. Tim is able to handle both dispositions and both dogs. I am always impressed with the overall kindness and thoughtfulness that Tim and his wife show to all living things.”

“Natalie was awesome. She kept me in the loop everyday on my dog. She went above and beyond giving my dog a blanket, toys and bone. I liked the fact she kept my dog in the house and had a fenced in yard to him safe. I will definitely be using her again and recommend her services.”

“Our yorkie, Tucker, had a wonderful stay with Stacie and her family. I received texts and photos every day to let us know how he was doing. Stacie provided immediate responses to my texts. Tucker got so much special attention. I would recommend Stacie to anyone needing pet care ❤️.”

“Ryan was amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone else but I had nothing to worry about. Ryan sent me multiple pictures throughout Pepper’s stay and ensured me that she was having a good time. He was always quick to respond to my message and answer any questions I had. Pepper came home healthy and very happy! I will definitely be rebooking with Ryan in the future!”

“Thank you, Jennifer for taking great care of Molly and Bailey! I really appreciate all the pictures and updates, and it is obvious you gave them a lot of love and care while we were out of town. Great job!”

“Fred had a lovely time! Avi watched him for a weekend. She shared photos with us showing him out and about enjoying the sunshine. When we returned, he seemed totally content. I will definitely be booking with Avi again!”

About: I’ve been blessed with a “work from home” position and have the ability to spend the day with your little one without having to leave them alone. My husband and I have flexible availability to meet your needs while you’re traveling, working, etc. Mochi, our 12 lb Havanese, loves having a friend to play with and looks forward to meeting yours. Our yard has a 4ft aluminum fence with plenty of room to run. Please communicate if you believe your dog can jump over the fence.

“Erin was amazing!! We are so happy we found her and she was able to dog sit our dog. She sent pics and videos and was also quick to message us back. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future dog sitting needs!!”
