Pet Sitting in Alton

“Jill took great care of our two girls on very short notice. We really appreciated her pictures, detailed updates, and boundless affection for both cats (especially the gregarious one). Would absolutely choose Jill again (and I wager our girls might remember her).”

“I am very happy with Amanda’s cat sitting. My cat is very resistant to taking her medication and Amanda was able to get her to take it every day. Amanda even came over on Christmas, which was great! She sent pictures and kept me updated on how my cat was eating and doing. I would definitely hire Amanda again during my next vacation.”

“Will definitely call Kari again next time I need someone to check in on my 2 kitties. She sent photos each time she checked in. Kitties were well taken care of.”

“Courtney was so good with our dog. She loved on her, took her for walks, kept us updated and communicated so well, AND sent the cutest pics. She will be our first call next time we need someone to look after our dog. TT LOVES her ?”

“Linda did a great job taking care of my fur babies. Her notes per stop described their personalities perfectly and I could tell they were enjoying her company!”

“Sarah has stayed with my pets numerous times over the last several years. I have many pets of all different kinds (cats, bunny, fish, lizard, and duck), and some need special care or meds. I am confident when I leave town that my pets are all well cared for and loved as they would be if I were there. I know that she would care for and love your pets just as much as I know she does mine!”

“Excellent for a difficult situation with two cats that have only been cared for by two people the last 10 years. One cat that hid on every visit. She was still able to keep both of them fed and looking great on my return.”

“Alexis came everyday and made sure my dogs were fed and watered and she took the time to play with them and give them attention. She even went out of her way to go buy a bag of dog food for them while I was out of town. I will definitely use her services again. It’s nice to find someone you can trust not only to come in your home but to care for your animals. Can’t thank her enough!!”

“thank you so much sarah for taking care of my fur babies on such short notice! you were amazing and the pictures were so cute ?”

“As a nervous cat mom, I was worried about finding someone I could trust to care for Daisy. Jenny put me at ease immediately when we met and shared stories about her own cats I could relate to. I felt comfortable leaving Daisy knowing Jenny would take good care of her. Her notes about her visits were so helpful and Daisy was well fed and cared for when I returned. This was a wonderful experience for both Daisy and I.”

“Not only is Ryleigh a responsible and mature young woman, she is a true dog lover. Her passion for pets and dogs recently led her to working at doggie daycare. This experience gave her the skills and confidence to want to further her love and care of dogs. Ryleigh's responsible nature, gentle demeanor and love of dogs is in perfect balance to represent Rover as a pet sitter.”

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.

“My husband and I were worried about going on vacation and leaving behind our fur baby! I have been hesitant about using a doggie day care or kennel service with multiple other dogs. Claire has come to our home on two separate occasions now to dog sit. Once for 4 days and the other she stayed for 10 days. She not only took fantasic care of of our dog, but she cleaned the house!”

“Hannah first and foremost loves our furry friends! She has been my life Partner Gregs adopted Mom! Greg is a 4 y/o Chihuahua. Hannah has cared for him too many times to count! Professional, trustworthy most caring surrogate dog mom I've ever met! You won't go wrong with Hannah! B.Webb”

“Allison was great! Attentive and communicative”

“She did a wonderful job taking care of my animals! She made my trip way less stressful knowing my dogs were well taken care of! Will definitely use her again!”

“Terrific care and communication!”

“Amanda is excellent. Not only is her communication top notch but so is the care and attention to detail she had for my cats/my asks (her 1st sitting was for 18 drop ins over 10 days). My pets loved her too, she is clearly an animal lover, they came right to her on the 1st visit. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have spent my life with pets. I've fostered for rescue, worked with several pet food companies and am very educated in pet nutrition. I've volunteered at my local humane society. I'm an experienced pet handler and have worked with a pet relocation company providing boarding and long distance ground transportation. I have and excellent knowledge of dog breeds and breed specific behavior and needs. I treat every animal I work with as if he/she were my own. All animals in my care are treated as royalty. I have a special love for senior and special needs dogs and always welcome them for services. I will always treat your pet as a member of the family and take extra special care when taking them on dogs walks and transporting them. I'm bonded and insured and a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters I work from home part-time so I'm always home for daycare and boarding. I also have the flexibility to do drop-in visits and petsitting in your home In home boarding and daycare are cage free. Pups are crated at night for sleeping depending on how many dogs are in the house, how well I know them and of course, what they're sleeping preferences are. I'm not a fan of crating pups unless its necessary for health and or safety.

“Jordan is a responsible pet owner and sitter! We expect nothing but the best for our pup and we always get that and more! She watches our baby while we travel and we always come home to a happy and healthy dog!”
