House Sitting in Alton

“Dawn was wonderful with our dogs while we were away. Quincy and Zoey just loved her. They were so relaxed with her. I would highly recommend her. I would definitely have her watch my dogs again.”

“Baylie is the absolute best! She is so kind and considerate and is amazing with the dogs. Our little ones can be a handful at times and she knocked it out of the park watching them. Thanks Baylie!!”

“Shane was great with our golden! He was on time, stayed for awhile, and made sure she received plenty of attention! Will definitely work with Shane again! Thank you!”

“Alexandria is a very kind young lady with an obvious kindness animals. We appreciated her responding back in a timely manner. We would certainly use her again for our pets.”

“Tyler took great care of our two older pooches for a few days.”

“Lily by far has a love & passion for all animals, but dogs, especially, are her heart, above all. She has an enormous heart for dogs 🐶 of all ages and treats them as if they were her own. She has grown quite fond of dogs and cats she has been a pet sitter for in the past. You can most certainly count on her to be by your pets side the entire time making them her #1 priority. You won’t regret it!!! You will want her time & time again!”

About: Hi, my name is Sam. I’ve been working with various types of animals for years. I have mostly had dogs my entire life all breeds. I worked in several different dog kennels and doggy daycare‘s over the past seven years and I’ve also started taking in dogs that need homes or dogs that need to be rehabilitated before they are adoptable. I also have experience with cats. Meeting new dogs meeting, new people and spending time to learn their personalities individually. I have experience and taking care of dogs that have behavioral issues and need more training skills. I also specialize in senior care dogs as well and I’m also pet CPR certified. We have also attached some photos of some old clients and also some of our animals we have had in the past. My schedule currently I’m home full time. I take our animals out every 2-3hrs and last outs are at 9pm. But if they have a special needs or are working on certain situations, we take them out more often. Our dogs go for long walks everyday. I can either crate your dog if need be, and or they can have a certain part of our home for bed /rest time. I do not have a fenced in yard at this time but i do take them out regularly for walks and always have eyes on them.

“Becky is a wonderful, fun loving, pet owner and caretaker. She loves her pups, as well as other dogs so much. She is engaging with both animals and people alike, and very trustworthy. I trust Becky with my dog Winston, and would recommend her 100 times over to a friend or family member as well.”

“Hello my name is Duke. I am a older plump St Bernard. My parents went on vacation without me for two whole weeks. I was mad at first that I wasn’t going to get to go with them, but it turned out great. Mom and Dad called a fella by the name of Antonio. Wow,he turned into my friend in those two weeks that my Parents were gone. Antonio came to my house and stayed with me so I wouldn’t get scared and took me for walks and fed me breakfast and dinner. He took me for walks and read me stories about other dogs. Don’t tell anyone, but he spoiled me rotten! I sure hope Mom and Dad will take another vacation and leave me at home so Antonio can come spoil me again. He really did treat me special and helped with my anxiety while my parents were gone.”

“Amazing! I couldn't recommend Elizabeth & Robert enough. We have four xxl dogs, with some separation anxiety, some medicine distribution, some special wonky feeding and house requirements, and they handled it all with thoroughness and care! I don't trust mostly anyone with our dogs. They are our babies. They checked in, provided photos and snuggles to the pups, asked great questions, and did an amazing job! Top notch. Lovely people to work with :).”

“Meagan was wonderful to work with. She is responsible, communicative and personable. My dogs were happy and cared for. I would definitely recommend and have her stay with my pets again!”

“Jessica was awesome and very accommodating meeting me for a last minute booking. I got updates throughout the day with pictures so I could see how happy Charlie was. She even took my dog on walks by the water! She made leaving town for a quick trip very easy!”

“Gwen is a very capable, loving companion for our dogs and cats. She engages with each of them in age/breed appropriate play and is able to handle medications and exercise routines. She is comfortable in our home and taking the pets to and from required appointments. Like me, she treats each pet like a loving member of the family. I can leave my fur babies in her care without worry! She is enthusiastic, professional, energetic and attentive. I couldn't recommend her more!”

“Elizabeth took excellent care of my difficult dog!”

“I would highly recommend Emily the opportunity of taking care of your precious fur babies! Emily is attentive, caring and compassionate to anyone who gets the chance to talk to her.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years including watching my family farm while my parents are away. I have experience ranging from 8 week old puppies and kittens to senior animals. I also have copious experience with rabbits and guinea pigs. Experience with diabetic dogs as well. I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I teach Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-8 but am otherwise free other than the occasional meeting. I have one dog who is very friendly. I also have two calm cats that keep to themselves. I have an extra crate in home and only take animals outside on leash.

“Dalton did a fantastic job watching our older dog (~10y/o) while we were away! We don't normally have people other than family watch our dog because he tends to get very sad/depressed when left with strangers but we were in a bit of a bind and came to Rover. We read the reviews on Dalton and he seemed like he could be a great fit, and he was! We booked Dalton for house-sitting services while we went out of town for a day and he responded quickly to our request, was super flexible when it came to scheduling a meet and greet, and made sure that he and our dog were very comfortable with each other before we left. While we were away Dalton followed the care plan we discussed to a tee! He sent us fantastic check-in/updates on our pup letting us know when, where, and for how long he walked, updates on how our dog seemed to be feeling, and photos of them playing and doing some of our dog's other favorite activities. He did an incredible job of putting our minds at ease during what would normally be a stressful time away by ensuring our dog was well taken care of and that we knew exactly how he was being cared for. When we returned from our trip we found our house and pup extremely well taken care of, the care he provided our dog was clear and our pup seemed to be relaxed and happy when we returned. I would highly recommend using Dalton for any of your dog walking/watching needs and plan to utilize his services the next time we head out of town and need care for our dog!!”

“Zach was able to house/dog site for me on short notice, so first time working with my two pups, but it certainly won't be the last time!!! The pups were very happy to see me, and the house was spotless...mission accomplished, thanks Zach!!!”

“Rileigh was great with my 2 dogs while I was out of town! She did a couple drop in visits and sent me pictures so I knew they were well taken care of! She was also very friendly and quick to respond to messages while booking the appointments and even came over to the house beforehand for a quick meet & greet. I will definitely use Rileigh again in the future!”
