House Sitting in East Alton

“Kyleen did a great job taking care of my three dogs, and cat while I was away! She even let me facetime so I could see my dogs, and sent tons of photos through out my trip.”

About: My whole life I've wanted to work with animals. Currently I’m a vet tech, I went to school for 2 years for it. I love all animals so dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets, and reptiles are all exceptional for me to take care of! I've owned dogs, reptiles, and right now have 2 cats of my own. Whether it's a check in on your pet while you're at work, or a month of house sitting while you're on vacation, I can help! Thank you for considering me. <3 Like stated before I a full time vet tech but I do have certain days of the week off to care for your pets! Take a peak at my calendar to see my availability. You can always reach out to me too if you need more details. I’ll do drop ins and overnight house sitting in your home to keep your pet as comfortable as possible. If it’s a walk we can go wherever they normally enjoy walking to.

“Brooke took excellent care of my dogs for almost a week. She was responsive and cared responsibly for my two senior dogs who can be demanding and a bit spoiled. Communication was great and she was the perfect house guest. Will definitely trust Brooke with my dogs next time. She is a thoughtful and caring pet sitter I would highly recommend to friends and family.”

“Karrie did an awesome job watching my fur babies while I had to travel for a work week. She regularly provided updates and pictures which put my mind at ease as I had never hired an overnight pet sitter before. The place looked just like it did when I came back and she clearly understands and loves cats. I definitely would recommend her to house sit for your pets.”

“From what I can tell Kristin did an excellent job with Peeka! I say “From what I can tell” jokingly. There were so few things moved or touched that it made it impossible to tell she had even been there! In the future, and there will definitely be more, im going to have to tell her to be comfortable! I very highly recommend Kristin and look forward to having her take care of my baby again! Thanks!”

“Megan has a heart of gold especially for fur babies. She is very inventive towards their feelings and well being. She is very warm and caring and would be excellent for anyone needing their pets cared for.”

“My pups loved spending the day with Cierra! Highly recommend and will book her for future dates.”

“Alexis was great. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring, giving, responsible and communicative sitter. Both myself and my dogs felt immediately at ease with her, and I never had to worry about my babies while I was gone. She catered to each dog individually and even bought them tons of delicious treats. If you are looking for a compassionate sitter, Alexis is the epitome! Don’t hesitate to book her. I know I’ll be using her time and time again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and love all kinds of animals. We’ve had every size from German Shepards to Australian Shepard to shih-tzu! I always loved to help out and take of feeding and bathing the dogs when I got older. My sister and I also have a cat, both of which I care for on a regular basis. My boyfriend is great at training and taking care of dogs and I currently work part time at a chiropractic office but I always come home for lunch on days I’m there longer and my roommates are dog friendly and can let out your babies! I currently only have a cat and he’s not very good company on walks, so I would love to go outside and hang out with your dog. Everyone would be super welcoming to a new temporary addition! I would stay out with them whenever they were outside to ensure they were safe, and play with them wherever I can. Walking after work on a leash. My neighborhood always has people walking their dogs and is a dog friendly place. However I do sleep in the basement so it would be better if the dog felt comfortable with stairs if boarding.

About: Hi, I’m Gabbi, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for other people’s pets! I am new to Rover, but I have multiple pet sitting references that I can provide from customers that have had me hired me for years! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes from Great Pyrenees to Chihuahuas. I’ve handled hundreds of cats so I am used to every personality. I have also cared for reptiles, amphibians, fish, farm animals, and rodents. I’ve watched dogs who need vigorous exercise, as well as the opposite. I’ve cared for puppies and kittens, seniors, and every age in between. I’ve watched a litter of kittens that were still nursing. I have experience with cats and dogs affected by cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness, and other special needs. I am experienced in administering multiple forms of medication. I also volunteer for an animal shelter, which gives me a lot of unique situations and experiences! I have a relatively flexible schedule. I work part time at a dog grooming salon. My shifts are typically 6 hours or less, and I only work up to 3 days a week. I do sometimes have other commitments that are unlikely to take more than 4 hours at a time. I am currently only taking one online college class so that does not interfere with my availability. For people interested in boarding, I have a fenced yard and a 9/yo, 15 lb Shih Tzu who is very friendly. He is laid back and prefers dogs who are also laid back, but has never shown aggression with high energy dogs. I typically walk the dogs I watch at least once a day, but that can vary on the age and/or the activity level of the dog. I can also take them to a park, weather permitting! I always try to keep the pups experience as stress-free as possible, so I listen closely to everything you tell me about your pet. I try to stick to any routine that you guys share, whether that be feeding times, walking times, or anything else! I live in a quiet neighborhood where your dog will be safe with me.

“We were very pleased with the care Chloe gave to our dog and our house while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”

“My husband and I were worried about going on vacation and leaving behind our fur baby! I have been hesitant about using a doggie day care or kennel service with multiple other dogs. Claire has come to our home on two separate occasions now to dog sit. Once for 4 days and the other she stayed for 10 days. She not only took fantasic care of of our dog, but she cleaned the house!”

“Jenny is the absolute BEST!! I was so anxious leaving my babies and she immediately put me at ease. She has been sending me pictures and letting me know how they are doing 3x a day!! She will be missed when we return by our pups!! Thank you Jenny!!”

“Samantha did an amazing job with all 6 of my animals! They loved having her watch them! Would highly recommended!”

About: I have spent my life with pets. I've fostered for rescue, worked with several pet food companies and am very educated in pet nutrition. I've volunteered at my local humane society. I'm an experienced pet handler and have worked with a pet relocation company providing boarding and long distance ground transportation. I have and excellent knowledge of dog breeds and breed specific behavior and needs. I treat every animal I work with as if he/she were my own. All animals in my care are treated as royalty. I have a special love for senior and special needs dogs and always welcome them for services. I will always treat your pet as a member of the family and take extra special care when taking them on dogs walks and transporting them. I'm bonded and insured and a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters I work from home part-time so I'm always home for daycare and boarding. I also have the flexibility to do drop-in visits and petsitting in your home In home boarding and daycare are cage free. Pups are crated at night for sleeping depending on how many dogs are in the house, how well I know them and of course, what they're sleeping preferences are. I'm not a fan of crating pups unless its necessary for health and or safety.

“Shelby is one of the hardest workers I know. She is full of energy and absolutely adores animals! She has rehabbed many animals. Animals that have been abused and even used as bait dogs she has turned into loving animals. She would be a wonderful asset to your team. Thank you, Alison Bell 480-276-3125”

“Samantha Barber is a very responsible and reliable person. She is also honest. She goes over and beyond her duties. She always put animals first. Animals love her. When they see her they come running. She even has animals that are not social come up to her. She definitely would be the right person to care for someone' s loved one. She believes that animals are like family.”

“Shona loves animals as if they were her own children. She treats them with kindness and patience. She is reliable and trustworthy and will give your pet the love and care that they deserve.”

“Thank you Danielle! You are our babysitter from now on...we appreciate you taking great care of Bentley, Rex and Bella. It is a wonderful (and relaxing) feeling knowing they get such loving care while they are with you. We will get our next dates set up with you soon! You have an amazing touch with them. Thank you!🐾”

“Amanda is absolutely amazing! I met her because a friend of mine told me how great she did with her pets, she even watched her horses and chickens, and I have been using her ever since!”
