“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
About: I will treat your dog like how I treat my goldendoodle Winnie who lives with my parents in Breese, IL. My family’s goldendoodle Louie passed away in November 2023. I will make sure your dog will get the exercise he/she needs on the walks. I am available after 5pm on weekdays for drop ins and dog walks. On the weekends, I am available all day for all services!!! I work from 9am-5pm most days. I have experience taking care of two dogs at the same time. I am very calm, trustworthy, genuine, and easygoing person. You will not have to worry when your dog is in my care. I now offer dog boarding. I have a spacious backyard with a fence. I work full time! I work in the office in Granite City on Friday until 5pm so overnight boarding drop offs will need to be after 5:30pm. I am able to drop in before work and after work. I will able to drop in before your dog’s bedtime! I will make sure that your dog gets the attention he/she deserves while his/her owner is away while doing drop in visits. During drop ins, I will also feed your dog and take your dog outside if requested. I am also good at giving dog baths!
“Erin was great. If you don't believe me, just ask our beagle, Bailey. All of the many photos and videos that she sent were one of the highlights of our vacation. It made us feel relaxed to see Bailey so happy to be playing with Erin's dog--they both had a wonderful time. We will certainly have Erin watch Bailey again.”
“Ashley was great with our little Yorkie and our little guy enjoyed playing with Ashley's sweet Iris. We received frequent photos and video updates. We were able to relax knowing that our dog was in good hands.”

“Amy is amazing! My dog absolutely loves her. I feel a sense of relief when my baby is left with her. Her house is clean and cozy and you can tell that she genuinely loves dogs. She even sent my dog home with a new toy. I will always book with her if she’s available. ❤️”
“Stephanie W was absolutely amazing with our dog, HoneyBun. She treated her like a princess from the moment she arrived and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. HoneyBun was well cared for, taken on walks, and Stephanie kept us updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout her stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing HoneyBun was in such loving and reliable hands. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. I highly recommend Stephanie W to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.”

“Tre’Ana was an excellent host and worked with me on times and dates. Would recommend her to anyone!! My Hazel was definitely taken care of and so happy when I picked her up.”
“This was my first time needing a sitter and I was pretty nervous about it. I've never had to leave my sweet boy anywhere other than the vet for a day. Carol was very accommodating. She allowed me to see where he would be, answered any questions I had and sent pictures to me to assure me he was ok. I was grateful for that. That helped ease my mind. I would definitely use her again if it should become necessary again. She's awesome!!”
“Chelsea is the best! I am truly thankful for her love and care of my cat Pippin. He was really comfortable and happy with her. She sent me videos and photos all week and I could see he was happy. That truly helped me to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being loved and cared for. Thank you Chelsea”

Holly did an amazing job watching our two dogs! She was attentive, communicative, and treated them like her own. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Our pups came back happy and well cared for.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Glen Carbon is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $45 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Glen Carbon can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Glen Carbon home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Glen Carbon.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Glen Carbon sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
