About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and to this day I rescue animals or I give them a safe home until I can find there forever homes. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make money for my kids. I’m available all day every day. I run on routine. I have a fenced in yard and a chocolate lab who loves to have friends to play with. I am always attentive and aware of all or any animals around me
“Danielle was amazing! My dog had so much fun with her. Her accommodations for him were so nice and made him feel safe, clean, and comfortable. She truly truly loves animals and was a joy to communicate with. She sent lots of pictures and videos as well. My dog had a blast on his own little doggy vacay. Would definitely recommend her and use her again. She went above and beyond.”
“Our yorkie, Tucker, had a wonderful stay with Stacie and her family. I received texts and photos every day to let us know how he was doing. Stacie provided immediate responses to my texts. Tucker got so much special attention. I would recommend Stacie to anyone needing pet care ❤️.”
“I loved Kelly. She was great with sugar. Even our dog loved her family too. She did everything to make her feel at home while she stayed. I even loved the updates and pictures of our dog sugar. Will be using Kelly again if we need her.?”
“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”
“Sara was amazing. She took the time to pick up and drop off my dog, sent me updates including photos throughout the week, and gave Ren a bath as well. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you Sara!!”

East Alton dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first time we left our fur baby while we went on vacation. TWO WEEKS! We were so worried about how this would go (with us and with Zoey). Gabbi was a blessing! Zoey fit right in and did extremely well. Gabbi kept us posted and sent pics which eliminated ALL of our worries and concerns. Because of Gabbi, we were able to relax and have a great vacation. She knew exactly what to do to make Zoey comfortable and stress free, she had a great time too! We will definitely be using Gabbi again!
