“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!”
“Teresa did awesome with my dog. She took her for a walk, outside to play, and let my dog nap on her. My girl has separation anxiety and Teresa made her feel welcomed and comfortable. Thank you!”
“Linda was so communicative and wonderful the entire time she cared for my blind dog and my dog with anxiety. I’ve never left them with someone and felt so much peace of mind. I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Linda!”
“Julia took amazing care of my dog for over 3 weeks strait while I was away on travel. So happy my pup had a great home to spend time at while I was away.”
“Lindsey took great care of my pup! She watched her for over a week and made sure my dog was happy. Lindsey took her for a few walks, fed her, and made sure she felt right at home. I wouldn't hesitate to have Lindsey watch my dog again!”
“Copper had a wonderful stay over the holiday weekend! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with messages and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious Copper was well cared for and having a great time. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“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.”
“I'm so grateful to have found Cynthia. They went above and beyond to take care of my dog and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and updates, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter - they're the best!”
“Nicole did an amazing job at taking care of my 2 Elkhounds. She is very experienced and completely understood the situation with my male wanting to mark his territory. She kept me in the loop on how they were doing and let me know how she planned on handling situations. Nicole was very understanding when my return flight was canceled and I would be a few hours later than planned in picking them up. I definitely recommend Nicole.”
“10/10. Communication was great, my dog seems to have had a great time. Plus NaNa was very accommodating considering I booked last minute. Thanks again!”
“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!”
“Our Mickey went on vacation while we went on an Alaskan cruise. He has stayed with Melanie previously and we are always at ease knowing that he is comfortable and very well cared for. Thank you for being such an animal lover and sharing that love with our lil guy, too!”
“Racheal took very good of my baby & I could tell he had a wonderful time! He was so worn out when he got home! He really didn’t want to leave, he loved having playmates! Racheal kept me updated on how he was doing & I loved how she did a slow introduction with her current dogs. You can tell she priorities safety & keeps a watchful eye on the doggos. They have plenty of space to play & the set up was really nice! Will have to bring my baby back when I go out of town again & he can’t come with me.”
“Great person,great vibes,great care. I can’t thank them enough for watching my dog! They treated her like family, followed all instructions, and even sent pictures every day. I could tell my pup was truly comfortable, happy, safe, and well-loved. Highly recommend! and definitely book with them again.”
“I was so pleased with Jennifer, Sharon& Scott! I had to go out of town for a week and 2 of my cats need to be given medicine. They were able to take care of that, and they sent me twice daily detailed notes and videos and pics. It made it so much easier to be away from my kitties. I will definitely use their services again!”
About: My wonderful dog passed away last year. I miss him terribly but any pet that comes into my house will be very spoiled by the attention he or she will receive from me. I have a part-time job with fluctuating hours & days. But I have plenty of time to give to watching your pets , always home in the evenings. I have a clean fenced in backyard. Pets can roam my whole house! My in home boarding consists of letting pets roam about my house. A great yard fenced in for dogs. Pets are free to lay on my sofa or bed. I love giving them affection and talking with them!
“Stacie was amazing with our pups! We had another dog sitter cancel the day before we were supposed to leave and she was able to keep them last minute. She kept us up to date and sent us pictures! Will definitely be using her again!”

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.

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.
