Dog Boarding in Alton

“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!”

“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!”

“Rachael was amazing! She made the meeting process easy and showed us where Remi would be staying. She sent us videos and pictures the whole time which helped put our minds at ease. Remi made new pup friends and was worn out from playing when we picked her up. We will definitely be using her for all of our dog sitting occasions. Nice to have a trustworthy sitter. ?”

“So far my babies have stayed with Ebony twice. They get excited every time they see her house and go rushing inside. When my youngest pup had a cyst pop on her neck Ebony took her to the vet and took great care of her. She is worth every penny!!”

“Katrina showed my boys a lot of love on my vacation. She is very safe and responsible, the type who does all of her research. Highly recommend”

“Shannon was very kind. She really was patient with my elderly dog. She was also sitting another pup who kept my fur baby company. She sent me pictures daily. I really appreciate that. Will definitely use her services again.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Tim and his wife have lovingly cared for our two labradors many times over the past two years. Tim and his wife are highly professional, as well as thoughtful and deliberate in their caretaking. Each time we leave the dogs with Tim, he makes sure to spend ample time with our dogs during the day. He does not simply let them out and crate them, he makes sure they are supervised and receive human interaction and playtime. The dogs are happy to see Tim and his wife. The level of attention and care they give to the dogs is obvious. We have left the dogs for both short weekends and longer periods of time. Most recently, Tim cared for the dogs for over two weeks. While we were away, they provided updates when requested in a very prompt and attentive manner, but also are very mindful that we are on vacation. I was thrilled with how seamless and stress-free our experience was during this extended period of time, just the same as during shorter windows of time that Tim and his wife spend with the dogs. The dogs are very happy when we come home. They are clearly well cared for, clean, and very happy. Their coats are shiny and they have a big smile on their faces, letting me know they received lots of pets! One of our labradors is very calm, and the other is very high energy. Tim is able to handle both dispositions and both dogs. I am always impressed with the overall kindness and thoughtfulness that Tim and his wife show to all living things.”

“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!!!”

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.

“Fergie had a blast Smokey!! Laronna has the perfect set up for watching Fur babies with a fenced in yard and doggie door. She loved on Fergie with plenty of pictures of Said spoiling. Thanks Laronna!”

“Our yorkie, Tucker, had a wonderful stay with Stacie and her family. I received texts and photos every day to let us know how he was doing. Stacie provided immediate responses to my texts. Tucker got so much special attention. I would recommend Stacie to anyone needing pet care ❤️.”

“Ryan was a terrific sitter for our GSD, Bach. He sent lots of pictures and videos throughout each day making us feel very comfortable. You can tell the kind of love Ryan has for dogs and truly does a great job taking care of them. Highly 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.”

“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.”

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

“Fred had a lovely time! Avi watched him for a weekend. She shared photos with us showing him out and about enjoying the sunshine. When we returned, he seemed totally content. I will definitely be booking with Avi again!”

“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!”

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