“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!”

“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful. First time using Rover and my husband and I were very pleased with Chelsea's kindness and professionalism with taking care of our pet. Will most definitely be contacting her again in the future!”


About: I have watched dogs of all sizes from about 7 lbs to 120. My best friend has two Great Pyrenees who I watch and play with all the time. I had a Shih Tzu for about 12 years that I was responsible for feeding, walking and taking to the vet to keep vaccinations updated. I also have watched my aunts Yorkie multiple times. Being on summer break gives me lots of time for any responsibilities necessary. I am a teacher on summer break so right now I can give your dog/dogs lots of love and attention. I have plenty of time to go for walks. I have no dogs at this time as I just put my last dog down in September. I have lots of time for walks, love and will be able to feed them whenever needed. My goal is to keep them on their normal routines to ensure they are comfortable.
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.
“Keri was so wonderful to welcome Mica into her home. Keri is flexible, accommodating and very responsive. The video, picture and updates I received showed Mica comfortable and happy. Thank you, Keri! If we’re back in the area, would love to have Mica stay with you again.”

“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.”

“Angela took amazing care of Kale while we were away. She took the cutest photos of him and sent great updates. I would definitely recommend a friend to utilize her services. She provided so much love to our pup and we are so grateful.”

“Sara took really good care of my dogs while I was away. She made sure they were comfortable, kept me updated, and even gave them a bath before I got back. That extra effort meant a lot! I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again.”

“Christina, once again, did a great job watching Jessie while we were gone for a few days. It just so happened to be Jessie’s birthday while we were gone and Christina went out of her way to make Jessie’s day special. She sent a ton of pictures and had great communication throughout Jessie’s stay. It’s obvious that Christina loves all the dogs she cares for and we won’t hesitate to take Jessie back again. Thanks, Christina!”

“We had a great first experience using Rover with Nicole as our pet sitter! Our kitten, Paris, stayed with her for four days and was clearly happy and well cared for when we picked her up. Nicole was attentive, playful with Paris, and made sure she felt right at home. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. We’re so glad we chose Nicole—definitely a great choice for us!”


“My dogs have stayed twice with francie. It has gone really well. I believe she really enjoys them and they come home happy. She is easy to communicate with and flexible with drop off pick up times. I will definitely use her again.”


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.
“Romeo really enjoyed his stay at Rachael and Joes house, so much that he hardly wanted to leave when I picked him up. They provided Romeo with a safe and loving environment. I would without a doubt refer them to my friends or family if they needed a pet sitter!”

About: I have cats and dogs my entire life and have multiple in my own home. They’re safe with me :) I promise to update you as needed. I am a 5th grade teacher and currently on summer break! I do work part time in the evenings and some mornings on the weekends. Let me get in some exercise in with your pups! I promise to love your babies as my own! I will respect your home/your pet as I would like my own respected. I am trustworthy and will provide the best care I possibly can!
About: Know that you can rest easy when you leave your pets in my care. I’ve been a pet parent my entire life & have watched others’ pets both personally and professionally for over 10 years. Ive got experience with senior dogs, raising and training puppies, and caring for multiple large dogs at once. Special skills include administering medications including eye and ear drops, crate training, basic command training, and working with older dogs who have mobility challenges. I currently have three dogs of my own, and my intention is to treat yours like my own when you’re away. I’m currently a student with a very part-time internship, so my schedule is flexible and free! If you’re looking for regular visits or walks, I can accommodate those on a daily basis. Boarding and overnight pet sitting services are available on weekdays and weekends both! I have 3 friendly pups of my own who will welcome your dog at our home! They play well with others, and your pets will be able to enjoy our large backyard that’s protected by a 6 foot privacy fence. When providing services at your home, I’ll treat it with the upmost respect- I’m happy to follow your typical schedule and routines with your pets & am a very tidy/clean person.
“Larrona and her parents are loving & caring. My Trudie really enjoys being at her place. She is flexible and accommodating. I’ve booked multiple stays and each time exceeds my expectations. She’s a keeper!”

“Thank you, Jennifer for taking great care of Molly and Bailey! I really appreciate all the pictures and updates, and it is obvious you gave them a lot of love and care while we were out of town. Great job!”

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.
East Alton pet 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!
