“Angela B. Was the best I could have ever had to leave my pet with. My dog Rogue had so much fun. She got a lot of attention and affection. Angela sent pictures and videos to assure me that Rogue was doing okay. I will definitely be taking her back for play dates and other vacations”

“Chelsea was amazing and Pepper fell for her immediately which made me feel even more at ease with leaving her with a complete stranger who instantly became family.”

“Book with Tina & Bob! This was our first time using rover for our senior cockapoo. She stayed multiple nights with Tina & Bob and they treated her like their own. Their house was beautiful and Grace had the perfect setup. They took such care to the smallest details and kept us informed. They are genuine, good people that are a hidden gem on this app. They are true animal lovers that will love your dog like family. We can’t wait to go back. Thanks Tina & Bob!!”

About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.
“Raven did an amazing job taking care of Lady while I went out of town for the weekend! Great communication, and Lady really seemed to enjoy her stay. I highly recommend Raven if you're looking for someone to watch your pet!”

“Linda and Dwight are absolutely wonderful! Our pup had a harder than usual time adjusting the first night and they were so patient with him. Next thing you know he thought of them as his second home! I also sincerely appreciated the updates and pictures. Could not recommend them more!”

“Awesome pet sitter! Having a husky, I know people can be on the fence on whether to watch one. I’m so glad Christina was open minded and knew how to care for high energy animals. Photos and updates were consistent and she was super flexible last minute for me. Would hands down recommend her without a doubt. Thank you!!!”

“Nicole was great communicating with us. Our big crazy puppy was taken with her at the meet and greet, didn’t even jump on her! To us that was a very positive sign. Nicole has dogs of her own plus had a few more boarding. Ca$h had his first chance of meeting pups his own size and did well.”

“Absolutely fantastic experience leaving our pup with Rachael for a week. This was our first time using Rover, or leaving our pup alone with anyone period. So naturally we were a little worried about how the dog would behave, if she would be treated right, etc. But the hosts were so calm and obviously experienced dog-people which really helped our mindset. They have a huge property for the animals to run and play, waaay bigger than my yard at home. I received TWO video updates EACH DAY which I was not at all expecting and made our vacation that much more fun seeing our dog having a blast on her vacation too. We will 100% ask Rachael and Joe to watch our doggo the next time we plan a trip.”

“Laronna has been taking care of our pups for a while now and she is amazing! Our dog absolutely loves her place and is happy each time we drop her off at Laronna’s place!”

About: More than just feeding and walks, I focus on making pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Skilled with maintaining routines, giving extra one on one attention, and creating a calm home environment. I’m retired and absolutely love animals. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and I’d love to help out. I’m available any day of the week. I have a privacy fenced yard. I have a small terrier mix who’s ten that gets along with any dog. She’s getting older and can’t see very well. I could do whatever makes you feel comfortable as far as your dog being around her.
“Jennifer is so wonderful! She eased our minds by caring for our senior dog who has a couple peculiarities with his required care. Cosmo came home more relaxed and rested than any other time he has been away from us. We will hire Jennifer again very soon!”

“Copper had a wonderful stay over the holiday weekend! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with messages and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious Copper was well cared for and having a great time. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”


“Francie, thank you so much for the care that you gave my 3 boys. They were so happy with you and that gave me such peace while being away. I highly recommend you Francie, and I’m thankful to know I have you to rely on when needed. 🐶🐩💕Rachele”

“Natalie is the very best dogsitter! She kept me informed with tons of pictures and updates the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated. Natalie was super accommodating, easy to communicate with, and she took amazing care of my pup! Also, she has a huge backyard, which my pup thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend Natalie!”

Gabbi was amazing with my rescue dog! He struggles being in new places and she was so understanding and patient with him. Gabbi administered his eye medication just as I asked and he looked great when I picked him up. My dogs stayed with Gabbi over the 4th of July and she was ready to help them through the fireworks. She’s just a great person and I would totally recommend her. She’s definitely my go-to for future boarding needs!

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!

There are 948 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Alton. About 92% of East 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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 IL 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.
