Dog Boarding in Alton

“Tami is incredible!! This is my first time leaving my puppy and I was really nervous. We did a meet and greet, talked through his care and had him meet the other dogs. She took great care of Haze and sent updates throughout the weekend (which I loved). He couldn’t have been in better hands. 10/10 recommend and will be using her in the future.”

“We have now had our dog stay with Rachael and Joe for two separate visits (5 nights and 7 nights) and we couldn't be more pleased with the care they provided for him. We love getting the frequent updates and pictures they provide. It's so nice not to have to wonder how he is doing. We don't often travel without him but I feel much more comfortable doing it now that we've found Rachael & Joe!”

“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!”

“We had to leave for a funeral short notice, my pup has stayed with her once before and had great fun. This round, we have had lots of changes in our lives resulting in some dog anxiety, not eating, bowel issues ect. At home. I was considered about leaving her but it's what we did. Within the first hour I got a picture of her playing with friends-happy. Ebony is great at sending pictures throughout the day to show what your pup is up to. Which is playing and happy the entire time. We are in the middle of a move out of state and I wish I could take Ebony with us! She is amazing and you can trust her with your dogs. She will take great care of them!!”

“Shannon was fantastic! She communicated well with us while she watched our boy! She sent pictures to show he was doing fine! We felt at total ease leaving our “kid” in her care… she welcomed doing a meet and greet earlier in the week ( at our request) to introduce our dog to her to before dropping him off later that week. She was very accommodating with our drop off/pickup since we were flying somewhere. Will definitely use her again and recommend to her to other pet parents!!!”

“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.”

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 handled hundreds of cats so I am used to every personality. I have also cared for reptiles, amphibians, fish, farm animals, and rodents. 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 typically 6 hours or less, 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.

“Claire could not be better! She was very responsive. Sent lots of pictures and updates. She went out of her way to treat Pepper like a special baby, just the way we do! I'd trust Claire with my baby anytime!”

“Lola loves Timothy! Our pet Lola is a Corgis puppy full of energy. Timothy does a great job keeping her active and entertained. She is always ready for a visit from Tim. Fondly, Lola's Mother Caroline”

“Sarah was wonderful and took great care of our two dogs. Our outing went later than expected and she was flexible and accommodating. Thanks, Sarah!!!”

“Laronna has taken care of Sadie twice and is really good with her. She sends pictures of how she is doing during her stay. I'm more anxious than Sadie. Thank-you for taking good care of her. Donna C”

“Donna was great with Brownie! Thank you for taking of my fur baby and making sure he was well entertained!”

“Ryan is great with my two dogs. We've used him for boarding, drop ins, and walks. The dogs go crazy when they see him. They're happy and tired when they come home from his place. I love that he sends updates and pictures of the dogs while he's taking care of them. I can't say enough good things about Ryan!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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!”

“Courtney has watched my dog Miguel 3-4 times now and he always has a great time! My pup can have some anxiety sometimes and does not always like to be around other dogs, but Courtney always makes sure he is comfortable there. Any time I need a sitter I look to book with Courtney, 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“I was happy with Stacie watching my dogs, Stacie is nice, and pleasant, my dogs like her as well. Stacie sent me a picture of my dogs at her place. My dogs looked happy.. Thank you Stacie.”

“Jennifer is the best dog sitter I've ever met! She cared for my furry kids like they were her own. She sent daily updates and pictures. I could tell they were happy and comfortable. I didn't worry at all while I was gone because I knew they were in great hands. I'm so thankful I thought of rover.com and found Jennifer!”
