About: I got my first dog when I was 16 which led me to learning more about dogs! When I moved out I decided I wanted a puppy of my own and I have taught her how to sit, stay, and lay down. I have researched breeds and their behaviors and would love to take care of your babies so that you can be stress free when you have to leave! I’m currently working part time and getting off of work around noon which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups! I am able to provide a flexible schedule and work with you as best as I can! I allow my fur baby to run freely in my home whenever I am home! We play fetch and practice tricks and she gets many treats! I will keep your dogs happy and healthy throughout their stay and continue the routines in your home!

About: Need a reliable pet sitter? I’m your girl. I have been working in the animal field for the past 11 years. I’ve worked everything from shelter, boarding facility and now currently at a specialty hospital for the past 7 years, 5 of those years working as a tech in the surgery department. I have seen it all and very comfortable around all type of dogs. From the shy to the goofball I can handle them all. In the home lives 2 rescue pitties, a cat, and 3 kids. While you enjoy your time away your baby will be able to enjoy cuddling on the couch watching tv or running outside in my fenced yard with my 2 goofballs. My goal is to make sure your baby is well taken care of and comfy so you have one less thing to worry about while you’re away. I currently work full time at the hospital. I have plenty of time in the mornings and after work to care for your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby company! I accommodate all stays and visits to what makes you and your pet most comfortable!

About: I’m a patient, caring animal lover with a background in positive reinforcement training. Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve worked at both the zoo and the Louisiana Nature Center as an educator and animal caretaker, where I helped with training and husbandry for a variety of animal ambassadors. At home, I have quite the animal crew: 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, snakes, lizards, tortoises, hedgehogs, a rabbit, and even some invertebrates! Caring for such a wide range of animals has given me experience with all kinds of temperaments, routines, and special needs. I’m also a mom of three older children who sometimes enjoy helping me with pet-sitting duties. Together, we provide lots of love and attention to the pets we care for. To ensure the best fit, I require a meet & greet a few days before your booking. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, talk through your pet’s routine, and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly, or feathered!) family members! Being self-employed means I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine, providing reliable care and keeping their happiness and well-being my top priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while respecting their familiar environment. :)

About: When it comes to pet sitting, there are countless options available, but what truly sets me apart from others is a unique blend of experience, passion, and personalized service. I OFFER TAILORED CARE FOR EACH PET : I understand that each pet is unique, with their own personality, preferences, and needs. I take the time to get to know each animal, allowing me to tailor your care approach. Whether your baby is a shy kitty that needs extra gentle coaxing or an energetic dog that requires plenty of exercise, I customize my time with your furbabies to ensure each of them feel safe and loved. TOP NOTCH COMMUNICATION SKILLS : I prioritize open and honest communication with my clients. I keep you updated with regular messages ,photos, and videos to assist in reassuring you that your furry family members are in great hands. Being able to provide detailed reports on your pet's behavior and well- being makes me a reliable choice. EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE AND TRAINING : My background in pet care began at a very early age. I've also studied animal psychology and communication and that coupled with my empathy and compassion towards all animals allows me to stand out from the rest of the sitters on here. I am well versed in animal behavior, health, and safety protocols, enabling me to handle emergencies calmly and effectively. My expertise gives you the peace of mind knowing your furbaby is cared for by someone with vast knowledge on the animal kingdom. COMPASSIONATE AND TRUSTWORTHY : My genuine love for animals shines through in everything I do. My clients can sense my compassion and dedication, fostering a strong bond of trust. I prioritize the emotional well-being of not only the animals I care for but also the pet parents. I take your decision to trust me with one of your, if not most precious blessings in life very seriously and would never do anything to compromise that in any way. I know how stressful it can be leaving your babies and I do everything I can to make this experience as easy and as pleasant as possible. FLEXIBLE AND AVAILABLE : I understand you may have a diverse schedule with varying needs. I offer flexible scheduling options and last minute availability. The ease of my adaptability ensures I can accommodate a wide range of requests, making it easier for you to find the right care for your pets. ENGAGING ACTIVITIES AND SOCIALIZATION : I go beyond basic care by providing engaging activities and socialization opportunities for pets. Interactive playtime, daily walks/runs, and enriching exercise that stimulates your furbaby's mind. This ensures your pets are not only cared for but also entertained and happy. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: I am in the developmental stages of founding a non-profit organization that caters to elder animals ensuring they're loved and cared for during their final days. This is leading to a collaboration between the senior adults in our community who are looking for companionship as well. If you're interested or know someone who could benefit from this service then please let me know! PERSONAL TOUCH : Lastly, my approach is marked by a personal touch. I remember specific details about each pet, such as favorite toys, treats , or routines, and I always incorporate those into my care. My attention to detail allows you to feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care. A sneak peek into our DAILY ROUTINE: Morning care: Every morning I take the dogs for a 30 minute or longer walk. I believe that a good start to the day sets the tone for both pets and their parents. Upon returning to the house it's breakfast time and then a play session. Midday Visits : For clients that need daytime check-ins, I schedule visits that include feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. Evening Engagements : In the evenings, I dedicate time to provide additional walks, cuddles, and play sessions, ensuring that the furbabies receive ample attention and care. This is essential for their emotional well-being. Through out the week I maintain flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your pet's unique needs. Whether it's regular visits, overnight stays, or special requests, I am here to support you and your pet's routine. In addition to my routine, I truly believe in fostering a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your furry family. I am passionate about providing the best care possible and treat every pet as of they were my own. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet's specific needs ,please don't hesitate to reach out. I'll always be here to ensure that you and your pet feel at ease. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter! I follow your care instructions and if you entrust that to me I will discuss with you a care plan. Each pet is unique and will have their unique needs.

About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!

About: I have have been caring of all types of animals since I was 7+ years old. I have taken care of new born puppies, kittens, raccoons and reptiles of all types throughout my life and I love it!! If I could cuddle a gator I would!!! I have also done whelping services for many family members. I have done a lot of fostering and bottle feeding both puppies and kittens. I’m currently working only for Rover. So I can dedicate all my time to your fur baby and his/her needs and the loving care and schedule you want for them. However I am instructed to. I am there to make you and your pet comfortable while away. It can be stressful for pet and pet parents when they are not together. I try to keep your pets schedule as similar to what they are used to with you. Feeding/ walking/ playing/ sleeping/ waking up will all be as close to their normal schedule as possible. Their comfort is my first priority.

Whether its a high energy dog or a nervous and shy cat or anything in between, I have seen it all! I am flexible and willing to help in any way I can!

Whether its replacing batteries in your ring camera or letting the service man come in, I am available to help you in anyway you need when something unexpected occurs while you're out. Any animals staying at my home are made to feel comfortable and safe; my home becomes their home!

About: I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own. I’ve always loved animals and believe they deserve the same care and attention as humans do... especially babies. Because that’s what they are, our babies! Whether it’s treats, cuddles, toys, or walks, our animals deserve the best that we can offer. More so because not every animal that can be a pet is lucky enough to have caring and loving owners. When their owner cannot be around, having someone there to care for them can go a long way. It shows that they are not forgotten and that they are loved; even in the absence of their owners. I know this from past experience. I would never leave my pet unattended for long periods of time, so that’s what I’m here for!

About: Hi! I’m Maddie, a lifelong animal lover and proud Golden Retriever mom. I’ve raised my Golden giving me hands-on experience with daily care, training, exercise, and lots of love. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like my own by providing reliable, attentive care, plenty of affection, and updates while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐾❤️ I am currently on break from Respiratory Therapy school, and I have plenty of free time during the week. My golden is very active so I’m always prioritizing getting home to play with my baby! I know how hard it is to find help being busy, so while I have time I want to be that person for others! I have a fenced in backyard with a very friendly Golden who would love play dates! If you would rather me come to your house, I love taking long walks and am very used to playing with toys in the house to try to burn all of that energy! I will give your pup the same attention I give my own❤️

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Alton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alton is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 430 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alton. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
