Pet Sitting in East Alton

“This was my first time using Rover and Amanda did a wonderful job walking me through the process. She did a great job taking care of my cat, Dani, who is extremely shy and timid. With Amanda’s patience, Dani slowly gained trust and became more friendly.”

“Jill is amazing, she was so thorough and sent so many cute pics of all my babies. She is literally the funniest and I loved reading her summaries. I felt at ease knowing someone wonderful was keeping all the babies happy, loved and well cared for. Her daughter seemed so sweet and connected with animals as well, takes after her mamma. So cute to have these two in my home, fitting right into the family.”

“Kari is an awesome pet sitter. I requested her service on short notice. She made accommodations for everything I needed. Buddy, my cat, absolutely loved visiting with her. I would highly recommend her for her professionalism and responsiveness. Additionally she was very respectful of my property, always here in a timely fashion, and gave buddy all of the attention and care he needed. My home was in fabulous shape when I got here after vacation.”

“Courtney is truly amazing! I had a last minute request and she responded the same day and I was lucky enough that she was available. Very professional and friendly. She absolutely listens to what you need and does it all. I am definitely a repeating client.”

“Kyleen is fantastic and goes out of her way to treat our doggies the best. Would 100% recommend her anytime. We have booked her multiple times and she is always prompt and communicates with us about any updates. Trustworthy to have in your home.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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 ?”

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.

“Ryleigh has grown up with dogs, and prefers them over pretty much anything (except maybe pizza). She's been a dog person all of her life (just like her momma, never met a dog she didn't like!). She has grown to be a very reliable and responsible young lady, finding a part time job on her own at age 16, and working consistently while finishing high school. She's been the preferred dog-sitter for our neighbors. She recently moved away from home, but quickly found her perfect fit in a job, working through the summer, and now weekends at a doggie daycare, while attending college. She has this incredible enthusiasm and joy being around animals; you immediately see and get this vibe when you meet her. I know she really misses her dogs, Chewie and Juno, who are at home. I'm confident that she will spoil your fur babies as if they were her own. If you're looking for the perfect dog sitter, she's definitely your girl.”

“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”

“My cat Daisy and I had another fantastic experience with Jenny! She worked her magic on her drop in visits to care for Daisy while I was away and my typically stranger shy kitty was happy to come out to visit with her. Jenny shared many photos so I could see my girl was doing well and I returned home to a very well cared for and happy cat.”

“Allison was great! Attentive and communicative”

“Shona and her daughter were great! Very friendly and took wonderful care of our dog Annie. Great communication and just did an all around wonderful job! Thank you again!”

“Brooke is an excellent pet sitter, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets who is kind, responsible, and reliable.”

“Shelby is one of the hardest workers I know. She is full of energy and absolutely adores animals! She has rehabbed many animals. Animals that have been abused and even used as bait dogs she has turned into loving animals. She would be a wonderful asset to your team. Thank you, Alison Bell 480-276-3125”

“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.

“Gracie is a kind, gentle, caring, responsible person who loves animals. She has experience and was raised with many types of animals, from dogs and cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, even squirrels, and reptiles. She is very detail oriented and great with following a schedule of walking, keeping them clean, and giving medication if needed. She is very active with her own dogs, doing walks, hikes, and lots of playing in the yard. Not only does she do a great job keeping pets physically active, she also knows the importance of keeping pets mentally stimulated with lots of sniff work, play, and puzzles. I have 7 animals and they all love Gracie.”
