“Erin was great. If you don't believe me, just ask our beagle, Bailey. All of the many photos and videos that she sent were one of the highlights of our vacation. It made us feel relaxed to see Bailey so happy to be playing with Erin's dog--they both had a wonderful time. We will certainly have Erin watch Bailey again.”
“Cynthia and Robert were awesome! Very communicative and able to help on short notice. They went out of their way to make sure my JoJo was comfortable and welcomed him like one of their own fur babies. Would definitely recommend and plan to use their boarding services again in the future!”
“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”
“Lindsey was awesome with Cane. She and her pups greeted us at the door, which made it easier for my pup to feel happy about me leaving. She let him be comfortable and he definitely made himself comfortable! She was sweet, and kept great communication! And very flexible with me. We'll definitely reach out to her again”
“Sarah took great care of our golden retriever, Phoenix, while we took a brief vacation. He fit in well with her dog, and we got many great pictures from Sarah to update us while we were away. We were super comfortable with our dog's stay even though we had never left him with anyone before. I heartily recommend Sarah for you and your dog.”
“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”
“Jamie and Aaron were amazing!! Max had the best time and I think he was sad to leave. They provided pictures and video while he was there. Will definitely use them in future!!”
“Melanie was simply amazing! We had a unique situation where we needed care for our dog and she was able to care for Ace in a pinch! She took great care of him, including making an ornament for Christmas 🥹 We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”
“Polly had a great time with Raven during a recent trip. Polly is a senior dog with issues and medication including eye drops. Everything went great and I'm sure Polly will enjoy her next stay.”
“Stacie took great care of our dog while we were away! She was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates and pictures that helped ease my dog mama worry. Thank you so much, Stacie!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was a little nervous, but Nicole was very kind, responded very quickly. Gave me updates with a video! It was a last-minute booking for Fourth of July, and she was very accommodating to me and my dog, which I really appreciated the ladder. Highly recommend!! 😊”
“Overall a great experience for me and our dog! Before boarding, our dog and I met with Evan's family for introductions. They are a lovely family with dogs of their own. They kept us updated on how our dog was doing through daily texts and photos. Highly recommend!”
“Otis has many special needs, and she cared for him like he was part of the family. Barbora went above and beyond, was very accommodating, and sent updates and pictures to keep me informed. It was such a relief knowing Otis was loved and so well cared for.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience leaving our pup with Rachael for a week. This was our first time using Rover, or leaving our pup alone with anyone period. So naturally we were a little worried about how the dog would behave, if she would be treated right, etc. But the hosts were so calm and obviously experienced dog-people which really helped our mindset. They have a huge property for the animals to run and play, waaay bigger than my yard at home. I received TWO video updates EACH DAY which I was not at all expecting and made our vacation that much more fun seeing our dog having a blast on her vacation too. We will 100% ask Rachael and Joe to watch our doggo the next time we plan a trip.”
“Jenny and co were all so great to my cat Qaswa 😁 She would provide daily updates with photos and videos of how things were going all day. They're very knowledgeable and understanding on cat's tendencies and did a great job accommodating her along with some other cats who were also staying over the long weekend. I definitely recommend housing your cats with them and I plan to do it again for my next vacation”

There are 1,016 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Alton. About 92% of Alton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
