About: I was introduced to my wonderful Sabrina when I was 4. Everyday was something new with my baby. We would go on walks, play with her toys and just spend time together. We took care of her until her very last fetch. Sabrina made me fall in love with animals. Now I have my Zoey who I love and adore as much as I did my Sabrina. I have an open schedule, so last minute scheduling is not a problem. I’m available most days of the week and weekends. Just give me a holler! I have a very nice backyard and two friendly dogs. If your pet does not get along with dogs I have a separate area for my dogs! :)
“She was the best sitter we’ve ever had. She kept in contact with us everyday and updated the entire time we were gone. I will defiantly recommend her and will continue to request her to be our sitter. Best ever!”

“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 :)”

About: hi! wonderful to meet :) my name is Samantha! i was practically born and raised an animal lover hah! i love pets and animals of all sizes, ages, and breeds! though i am new to Rover, i am highly experienced as a pet sitter, dog walker, pet companion, etc. service is my natural habitat, so, any special requests are easily accommodated by me. feel free to reach out to me about your pet service requests and see if we are a great match! love & light -Samantha i have a very flexible schedule for pet sitting, pet walking, pet care of all kinds. i welcome drop-in visits, and pets are welcome to stay as long as they are comfortable and well mannered. i can schedule last minute commitments, along with commitments in advance. in my home, my preference is for the pet care to mimic whatever the pet(s) are used to at home. the owner is the parent and they set the tone, i like to follow suit and be sure to keep the pets in their usual routines as much as we can.
“Rick is amazing! He was so patient and flexible with us. Our plane got delayed and he went to the extreme to arrange pick up times outside arranged pick up time. Definitely will use him again! Thank you Rick for the communication, the pictures and videos and the text messages.”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love caring for them like they’re my babies. I also help watch my family and friends' pets when they’re out of town, so I’m used to giving animals lots of love and attention. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and treated like family with me. I’m attending the university of the rio grande valley. However, I only attend on certain days and right now it’s summer so i’m free. I will make time. I will do my best to clean any mess the pets make and I am reliable to give them food and water and take on walks daily.

“Melissa was amazing! Luka had such a great time and even made a new friend. 🤍 He was definitely in the best care, and we would absolutely choose Melissa again. She had excellent communication throughout the stay and kept us updated with pictures and messages about our puppy. Melissa even taught Luka a few new tricks! ☺️”

“Evan was such a great doggy sitter to my Chewy the 5 nights he stayed with him! He went above and beyond in caring for him and making sure he got plenty of exercise during his stay. We loved that he had a huge yard for the doggies to play fetch in. He also sent daily pics and updates of him which made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands 🙌🏽 10/10 would def book again!”

“Great place with lots of yard space for fur babies. Sweet couple that kept us updated on our fur babies with pictures! Happy doggies! Thank you Kimberly and Caleb for watching our fur babies!”

“This was my first time ever using Rover and I am so glad I chose Karra. From the minute I left Boston with her she was updating me soon after making sure that I was aware that he was safe and comfortable with her. She sent me pictures regularly and every time I texted her to check up on him, she responded immediately. Super sweet and Mr. Boston was very happy with his sitter. Will most definitely book Karra again in the future!”

About: I'm a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. Whether you're away for a few hours or several days, I'll make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection( bathing time could also be requested) just like they’re part of my own family. You can relax knowing your fur babies are in good hands!" As I am in the process of pursuing a career as a phlebotomist and enrolling in nursing classes, my schedule can be busy at times. For this reason, I don’t typically accept house sitting, but may make exceptions for short stays under a week if they are nearby and align with my availability. I do offer drop-in visits when my schedule allows and am fully accepting boarding, where I can provide consistent and loving care. I tailor my pet care based on each pet’s routine and needs, whether in my home or the client’s. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual feeding, walking, and play schedule to provide comfort and consistency. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I always prioritize their well-being, communicate regularly with owners, and ensure pets feel secure and loved while in my care.
“Great communicator, left me videos and pictures of my fur babies constantly and without me having to ask her for them. I could see my dogs were happy with her, her whole family are very loving. We will leave our babies with her again when we can’t take them with us. Highly recommend.”

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have 2 of my own! Life is busy and I want to help with your dog’s needs. I understand how stressful days can be, especially if you have a tight schedule, and I want to help assist with your fur babies. I personally love going on trips and understand the necessity of finding a good pet sitter. I can help relieve that stress on your next trip. I grew up with 2 dogs and 4 siblings. I’m the second oldest and basically the second mom of my family. I can multitask and work under pressure and leave a great result. I work with love and care. My husband got relocated to this area because of work. Thankfully, I’m able to have a pretty open schedule. I spend a lot of time with my dogs at home and I want to use my free time to help care for your dogs as well. I don’t really travel often, so my availability is pretty vast. I have 2 available crates of my own and I can bring those along with me if needed. I have 2 vests available and 2 leashes that I can use of my own.
“Lisette exceeded our expectations. She sent us a lot of pictures and our fur babies had a blast. Our regular sitter was unavailable this weekend and we were a bit worried leaving them with someone new. Thank you very much, Lisette for taking such good care our pups. We also appreciated the postcard. We highly recommend her services!!!”

“Chenay and her family took AMAZING care of Bruce, my older Pit. I received pictures and updates of how he was doing throughout my week-long trip. This was the first time I had boarded him and I was never once worried if he was settling in, getting play time, or being taken care. Absolutely fantastic experience!”

“I am so happy to have found Rubi through Rover to care for Poppy. I had peace of mind during my travels as she communicated with me via text and video about his care and well being. I would definitely reach out again for this service.”

The median cost per night for pet boarding in Alton is $30
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alton
Era la primera vez que dejábamos a Simba con alguien por medio de esta aplicación, pero desde que mi esposo lo llevó nos sentimos muy tranquilos. Tienen un área amplia y segura, y se nota que Brandon y su familia quieren mucho a los perritos. Nos comentaron que Simba se portó muy bien y regresó muy contento. Definitivamente los recomiendo; sus mascotas estarán en muy buenas manos. 🐶🤍

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.

There are 119 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Alton. About 97% 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.

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.
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 TX 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.
