Dog Boarding in Alton

“I highly recommend Lynda and her sweet dog Charlie as a vacation spot for your furry friend. Our dog Joey stayed with Lynda for 6 days and during that time I received updates and photos on his excursions. She lives near a stream and wooded area, perfect for morning walks and she has a grassy backyard for throwing balls around. Joey was very happy during his stay and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in great hands.”

“Annybell is so great with my dog, Iroh, and he loves going to her house! Annybell has a lot of outdoor space right on the lake, so there's lots to explore and sniff. She also has doggy daycare working experience, so I know she can handle taking care of my large pup. This was my second time booking with her, and she'll be the first person I reach out to for any future pet sitting needs!”

“We had no concerns with our 2 dogs being at Heather’s home. She provided multiple updates and pics while we were away. Heather gave us confidence that our pups would be in good hands and treated like family.”

“My anxious dog loves spending the night with Kim. She’s always excited when we get there and I can leave knowing she’s happy and in good hands. So happy to have a great sitter!”

“Becky goes over and above for the pups. She takes them for fantastic walks, and is so kind and loving that I wonder if Brutus will want to come home! Highly recommended! I’m already using her services again ♥️”

“Highly recommend Terry as a dog sitter! My dog stayed with them for a few days and they were wonderful. We plan to book with them many more times in the future!”

“Katie was great watching our Portuguese Water Dog. It was very easy to set up a drop-off time and work out the details with her prior. She kept us updated with pictures and our puppy came back well exercised and happy.”

“My Husky Luna spent a full month with Julie and her family as I ventured across country with my kids this summer. Having never left Luna with someone before, I was nervous and she made it very easy to relax and trust her. Between our meet and greet at her house, her daily updates and pictures (plus videos too), I knew Luna was in good hands. I won’t hesitate booking again with Julie in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years including watching my family farm while my parents are away. I have experience ranging from 8 week old puppies and kittens to senior animals. I also have copious experience with rabbits and guinea pigs. Experience with diabetic dogs as well. I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I teach Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-8 but am otherwise free other than the occasional meeting. I have one dog who is very friendly. I also have two calm cats that keep to themselves. I have an extra crate in home and only take animals outside on leash.

“Due to a death in the family, I needed someone to watch my Boxer with less than 24 hours notice. Paul responded within minutes of my request and was very accommodating, to both me and my dog. He treated him like part of the family, even letting him sleep on his bed! I highly recommend his services for your furry friends.”

“Marlo was an excellent host to our Shadow during a recent trip. Many picture updates and reassuring us that Shadow was doing well. Highly recommend Marlo and family. 😉👍”

“Carrie always treats Stella like a welcome part of the family. She knows my girl gets cold easily so Carries always make sure Stella has enough blankets to stay nice and toasty. Stella loves to go.”

About: Hi, my name is Sam. I’ve been working with various types of animals for years. I have mostly had dogs my entire life all breeds. I worked in several different dog kennels and doggy daycare‘s over the past seven years and I’ve also started taking in dogs that need homes or dogs that need to be rehabilitated before they are adoptable. I also have experience with cats. Meeting new dogs meeting, new people and spending time to learn their personalities individually. I have experience and taking care of dogs that have behavioral issues and need more training skills. I also specialize in senior care dogs as well and I’m also pet CPR certified. We have also attached some photos of some old clients and also some of our animals we have had in the past. My schedule currently I’m home full time. I take our animals out every 2-3hrs and last outs are at 9pm. But if they have a special needs or are working on certain situations, we take them out more often. Our dogs go for long walks everyday. I can either crate your dog if need be, and or they can have a certain part of our home for bed /rest time. I do not have a fenced in yard at this time but i do take them out regularly for walks and always have eyes on them.

“We adopted 11 year old Jafar just 4 months ago. I didn’t know how he would act around another dog or a small child, and I was worried about leaving him with Jessica who has an older Chihuahua and a 3 year old boy. I worried for nothing! Jafar loved the Chihuahua and would cuddle up with her, and he got along fine with the child! Jessica took great care of him. She sent lots of pictures showing Jafar enjoying his vacation as much as we enjoyed ours. This nervous pet mama HIGHLY recommends Jessica!”

“Such a loving household Aimee and her family loved my dog truly as if it was their own. I found my new go to dog spot! Thank you again so much!!!”

“Our dog stays with Betsy when we go out of town, and she is a wonderful caretaker! Patient and gentle, Betsy makes Charlie feel right at home. She always creates a quiet cozy spot in the house where he will feel relaxed, and she takes him on outdoor adventures in the woods near her house as well, which he adores.”

“My dogs loved Jennifer and her family. They were so tuckered out from all the play time. I can't thank you enough for taking them and I'll absolutely be bringing them back!!”

“My pooch has never felt more at home with a sitter! She felt so comfortable that she ate all her food (which is usually a struggle while I'm away) and had no issues whatsoever. She even made the rounds saying goodbye to everyone before we left. I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received and will be back again soon!”

“Dawn kept our very shy kitty while we were out of town for 3 1/2 days. She was great. Bella had a room to herself and became less shy. Her eating was normal and also using the litter box was normal, an indication of little stress. We will definitely use her again.”

“Nicole is the best sitter! Our Emma loves her dog Wilbur. She is excited each time to see Nicole and loves being there. Her last stay was for a week and she showed no signs of anxiety at all. She adjusted to being back home with no problems.”
