“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!!🫶🏻”
“Bruna was able to accommodate my request last minute. She lives very close by to me and that was a plus! My pups were well cared for! Bruna communicated well and sent me pics of how the pups were doing. My pups were comfortable in her home and were able to prance around freely. She was also able to accommodate giving my older pup his meds. I recommend Bruna to watch your pups and I will seek out her help again when the need arises! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I will never be able to put into words how grateful I am for Sandra and the love she gave my dog, Bonito. From the moment we met, I knew he was in the best hands. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. Sandra treated Bonito like he was her own, and it showed in every little thing! From making sure he ate well to giving him the love and attention he’s used to at home. She sent me daily updates and the sweetest photos that truly gave me peace of mind. You can tell she does this from the heart. It’s rare to find someone who not only watches your dog but genuinely cares for them. I’m beyond thankful to have found her, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Bonito. She’s a gem and a true blessing for any pet parent!”

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.

I am a semi professional marathon runner and believe not only people but animals benefit from a daily exercise regimen! I am dependable, trustworthy, and loyal. I strongly believe in the welfare of all animals. I will walk or run your dog but due to extreme South Texas summer weather, I will only do it very early morning or evening when its cooler.

“Vanessa’s service was beyond my expectations. She was incredibly caring with my Princess Sophie. After my fur baby was out surgery, Vanessa took care of her for more than a month and she provided all the assistance and care my pug needed. She provided all the medications and followed all the instructions Provided. We were able to enjoyed our vacations knowing that Sophie couldn’t be in better hands. She daily sent us pics and updates of her. We were excited to see she had a blast with her too. I definitely recommend Vanessa and I will definitely contact her again if I need help with any of my fur babies.”

Nancy was such a great sitter for my beloved pup. She kept me informed on how the stay was going and sent several updates and pictures. It really helped ease my anxiety about leaving my puppy with a new sitter. We will absolutely be using Nancy for our sitter needs in the future.
This stay was amazing for my 2 lab mixes Max and Lila..Btandon and his family have a large lovely property very well suited for long stays for dogs. They were very knowledgeable and comfortable around pets and even thougg it was our first stay with them, they do everything to put you at ease. His Mom was the sweetest, making sure my dogs had something to eat when they ran out of kibble...Communication was great, they send you updates and pics! It was very clear that Max and Lila were very happy there and we are glad to have found our go to dog sitters here in the Valley

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.
