“Took great care of our Daisy! They even washed her bed for us because she had an accident, which we really appreciated. They allowed us to pick Daisy a little early and accepted to watch her on short notice. We were given updates and are overall very satisfied with our experience.”
“Erika was amazing! My pup Mindy was in great hands while I had to go out of town. Erika was attentive to Mindy's needs and kept me appraised with daily photo updates! I am glad I found someone who cared for my pup as if she were their own. I will surely rebook with Erika the next time I need someone to watch my Mindy. Thank you again, Erika!”
“Nancy was hands down the BEST dog sitter we have had. I was beyond impressed with how well Maverick was cared for. She sent several updates throughout the day and was amazing at communicating. Maverick was so spoiled and came home so happy. We will 100% be using Nancy again, I cannot recommend her enough!”
“11/10 service! This was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone and I don’t think I could’ve made a better choice! My dog was very scared and nervous but Brando and his family showed him patients and after a while he warmed up! I would highly recommend and book again in the future!”
“Bruna was so friendly since the moment I requested boarding servies. Communication was great and I trusted her completely with my dog and kitty ! Thank you so much again for taking care of my babies 🤗 Hope to book again in the future ✨️”
“Terrie is the best sitter!! She took care of my Cici, a yorkie, as if it was one of her own pets for 5 days. Very lovely and kind-hearted person, warm home, very organized and kept me informed of my dog everyday. Cici had a great time! We will definitely book again with her for our next trip. Only good and beautiful things to say, and very thankful that we have found Terrie!!”
“Highly recommended sitters!! Mylo had a great time with them and their dogs!! They sent me pictures and videos of Mylo on a daily basis!! Lovely, clean and a beautiful home!!”
“Bianca is such a 5 star sitter! She helped me out tremendously when I had no one to watch my fur baby Mila last minute. Although Mila is a very skittish cat, she always does so well with Bianca! She has sent me pics before and texts back almost immediately when I send her messages! I can’t recommend anyone better!!🫶🏻”
“Sandra was amazing. She is very knowledgeable about dog care and wellness. She was great as far as keeping us updated on pancake’s care. We were sent pictures, videos, and texts. She really did give pancake so much love and care while in her care. It gave us so much of peace of mind knowing that pancake was in good hands. My husband and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Sandra and her mom to anyone looking for pet care. Thank you so much again for the love and care you showed pancake.”
About: Hello I take care of your pet if like they are home. They will indeed be very spoiled. Also let me know what stuff they like and need so they can have a great time while your away. It fits perfectly as I am at home all day long and I do online school so it’s perfect also I do have my own pet so they could have fun playing. I care the pets as if it’s my own. But I know that all pets are different so I ask what they like and thier needs.
“Wow, great positive environment and you can tell that Juan loves his house guests! He does such a good job loving on them and communicating how they are doing to their families. I've never been more satisfied. Great job Juan! Looking forward to the next time.”
“Elizabeth and her family are wonderful sitters! My Gretel loved being with her three dogs! They totally have accepted Gretel into fold and it made us feel so good for her. I received videos and pics throughout her stay with Elizabeth. I will keep Elizabeth in mind every time.”
“Yasmim was amazing! She communicated with us so well and took excellent care of our Lacey — treating her like she was her own. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Yasmim!”
About: I have experience providing reliable and loving care for dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and monitoring their well-being. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable. I work at a pet hospital in McAllen Happy to work around Open schedule and happy to accommodate routines. I am free to talk about hours and needs that work for you anytime I have a fenced yard, and take my pets out 1 once every 3 hours do urinate and have play time. I take dog walks.
About: I’ve been around pets ever since I was 5 years old, and have taken care of them by myself ever since I was 10. I have a vast amount of knowledge in caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I even have experience helping momma dogs give birth. If your pets are on any type of medication do not worry I will take care of that for you. I also have some knowledge in training as I have trained every dog I have owned. I am currently at home almost 24/7 the only times I’m not is if I have to run so errands, but I’m never out for more than 3 hours especially if I have any pets being boarded with me. If you need me to come by and check on your pet/pets I can come by as often as needed. I do have 3 dogs living with me one is mine one is my mom’s and one is my brother’s. They all stay downstairs and whenever I have any pets staying with me they will be with me in my room which is upstairs. They will have the whole upstairs to themselves as it is gated off. If you do not wish for your pets to come in contact with mine I will make sure of that. If your dogs are dog friendly and you don’t mind them playing with other dogs I will introduce them to only my boy to have some play time. I live of 5 acres and have a huge backyard plenty of room to get their energy out. Your pets will always be watched when outside. I also live close by to a park that I can take your fur baby’s on a walk at. If your pets need to be crated at night I ask if you can provide the crate and I’ll set it up right in my bedroom. If your dogs are potty trained and are used to sleeping in bed I will allow them to sleep with me. If you happen to have any other questions feel free to ask me.
“Mayalin has been the best dog sitter we have ever had. She took such great care of our Roger. I received pictures and updates every single day. We were worried we had to leave him for that many days, but she made us feel so comfortable knowing that he was well taken care of. 100% recommend her. Thank you Mayalin R :)”
“Kathi and her husband took care of our Luna like their own dog. They spoiled her, even let her sleep with them on their bed. Kathi was sending me updates regularly and pics as well. They were very loving with her, you can tell they love dogs. Her dogs at the home were very welcoming with our dog too. I would definitely use her services next time we are out of town. Thank you so much Kathi!!”

Nancy was amazing the entire time! She made Duke feel right at home. He enjoyed his stay with her! She was so good about sending videos and pictures throughout the day that helped to put me at ease since this was the first time I had left him with a dog sitter. I had a great first experience and we will definitely be reaching out to Nancy again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alton on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 126 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Alton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Alton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Alton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
