Dog Boarding in Bethalto

“Our dog loves going over to Sarah's house. We always know he'll be well looked after and hers kid of love and attention. We will keep using her anytime we have to go out of town!”

“Stacie was able to watch my dog on short notice. I was a little nervous leaving my little guy for the first time, but I knew he was in excellent hands. I will absolutely be contacting her the next time I need him watched!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Ms Shannon took my dog last minute and took such good care of him I appreciate her and will be using her and referring her to everyone I know thank you Shannon”

“My dog stayed with Joy for a couple days. Joy was very communicative and the dog had a great stay. I would happily leave him with her again.”

“Hanna was better than anything we could ask for! For one, my travel plans for work kept unraveling, and yet she was still available in short notice. Secondly, lots of people are averse to big dogs - mine is a Cane Corso, and in the past, she's just had to travel with me because I've never been able to find anyone to watch her who I'd trust. Thankfully, the meet and greet went well. Though my pup was really nervous, she warmed right up to Hanna and her family. I knew instantly that she was going to be in great hands, but upon learning a lot about Hanna's background with dogs, I was even more relieved. My dog had such a great time that she didn't even want to leave (which hurt my feelings lol), but now I know I have a trusting sitter near me available for all my travel needs, and that's such a blessing.”

“Erin was so amazing our little one didn't want to come home. Great communication and went above and boyond for us. We look forward to our next trip because we know our little one will be in great hands. Thank you 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 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.

“So grateful to have found Julie! She was very communicative, sending photos and texts of how Leo was doing while we were away. It made me feel so relieved to know he was being so well cared for and having a great time while we had to leave him for the weekend. I can’t thank her enough for easing my worry of having to leave my pup and for doing such a great job giving him love & attention!”

“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!”

“We’ve used Cynthia several times and have been very pleased. Winston goes on walks, lounges around the house or fenced in yard, enjoys the company of Cynthia’s pets and is well-taken care of. Cynthia keeps me updated with photos/texts. She’s easy to schedule with and obviously cares for animals. Highly recommend!”

“Christina did a wonderful job with our dog. Our dog is skiddish, and she [our dog] warmed up to Christina in no time. We will definitely use Christina next time. Highly, highly recommend her.”

“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!”

“I really want to Thank Ebony for taking such good care of Sammie. I was so hesitant and scared to leave him with someone I don't know and to br on vacationthat long.... But when I tell you Ebony was on it... she made me feel so comfortable and assured that my baby boy was Ok!! She sent pics, videos , we talked on the phone..I will definitely be using her every time without a doubt plus my fur baby know her so that's definitely a PLUS!! We ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU EBONY...Thanks so much for everything!!!❤️”

“Kelly was nice, accomdating, and put me at ease. She sent me updates and photos a few times a day, that we always look forward to. It was nice to do a meet and greet before hand so my dogs are comfortable going back there. Her whole family treated my dogs like their own. We will definitely be using Kelly in the future.”

“This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous, but Rachael and Joe were so wonderful! We did a meet and greet before committing to a stay-over and this made the dogs super comfortable. Rachael and Joe were very attentive to our dogs and sent us texts and videos of them during their stay. Ian and Rose (our dogs) clearly had a great stay and were happy and exercised when we picked them up. Thanks Rachael and Joe!”

“Ryan is my pups '#1 Go To' sitter on Rover! When she sees Ryan coming up the walkway, she knows she's in for a ton of fun & tails a wagging! He sends all kinds of pics & she always has that toothy boxer smile in them. I've also used Ryan's services for dog walking when I couldn't due to knee I jury. & Xena is happy to see him, every time. Will definitely book with him again.”

“Sylena has been watching my furry friend Felix for over a year now and has been such a help. She is a compassionate, caring animal lover and I have been so lucky to be able to entrust my dogs needs in her care.”

“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.”
