This was Winnie’s second time staying with Linda & her husband. Winnie acted like she was reuniting with life-long friends!! And Linda always ensures that Winnie gets plenty of exercise when she stays - Winnie just loves her walks. I can’t say enough about the fantastic care she receives when staying with Linda.

Vivian was amazing with my puppy Rocky! She took care of him like he was her own and kept me updated daily. She has a puppy herself, so she was very prepared and educated on dog watching, the peace of mind was everything to me. Rocky was so sad to leave her and her puppy, we will be using her again when we need a sitter. Thank you Vivian!

Christina was great!! I loved the pictures she sent, letting me know my dogs were having fun and making friends. They came home happy and exhausted - which was an added bonus. Communication before and during the booking was great. She set up a meet and greet before the booking to meet her, her boyfriend, and their dogs. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely book again!

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.

This was my second time booking with Rachael and Joe and they are truly wonderful. My husky, who has major trust issues, simply lovessss staying with them. He got so excited when we pulled up to their house and he darted to their door to go inside, he didn'tcare that I even existed when we got there because he just wanted to go play. They do a wonderful job of sending updates and pictures. I will continue to use them every time I need a sitter. 100% recommend.

About: I have had pets in my life for as long as I've been breathing. I learned to take my first steps holding our rat terrier, Missy's, tail. There are no bad breeds. I love all animals, even the ones that don't love me lol. I promise to treat your little friend like they are my child. I also spent the last two years in the pet care industry. Boarding, grooming, training, and daycare. I am trained well enough in grooming to give haircuts if needed, we can discuss pricing 💜 I also have experience with farm animals. Goats, horses, chickens, pigs. I'm comfortable with most pets, so sorry if you have snakes though. I adjust my prices based on your needs so don't be afraid to talk to me about rates! Working part time 8:30-4:30 on weekdays. I do prefer check-in style visits and really looking to groom more, but still available for housesitting when needed. I do offer care in my own home for smaller/medium pets (must get along with cats) and am adept at following whatever instructions I am given. With my work history I am very used to elderly and disabled pets as well. I am more than happy to walk two small-medium dogs at once, but if your dogs are considered large or giant I would ask to walk them separately, for everyone's safety.

Robert did an excellent job taking care of our dog that by the time I went to pick him up, he decided that he wants to continue to starly on the couch with his friend. I had to coax off the couch so that we could get going home since it was late when I picked up him. I would recommend him for anyone who needs their furrikids to be taken care in there absence.

About: I have had a dog for 8 years and am considering adopting a sibling. This will be a great way to not only find some wonderful new doggy friends and families but to also acclimate my dog to having another dog in the house. I have a large fenced in yard and am home on weekends so my dog and I would welcome some company! I work full time during the week and am in the office 3 days so I work from home on Fridays and have weekends free! I have a fenced in yard and friendly dog who would love some company. I do also have a crate so can crate your pup as well or they can sleep in a bed, on the couch, wherever they are comfortable!

About: Hello! My name is Marieta and I live in a house with a large yard in Edwardsville, IL. I would love to watch your dog(s) for the day and/or overnight. I am an experienced dog walker & have also cared for dogs, ranging from small to large breeds, for the last couple of years. I absolutely love dogs - I've had dogs all throughout my life until recently. I work from home, thus, I am able to provide constant attention, long walks, and overall engagement. My husbans can assist any time that I may be busy. He is also a pet lover! We are available almost all week and weekend days/nights. We are flexible and have no problem with last minute calls. We are also available to watch your pet(s) for an extended period of time! I currently work from home and much flexibility to spend lots of time with your dog. We have a large yard and live in a great neighborhood for walks. We recently lost our soul dog of 9 years so we’re very experienced with the level of comfort and attention that a dog needs throughout the day.

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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - East Alton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in East Alton on Rover is $39.96 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 953 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.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
