“I have a 1 year old puppy named Bean. I have trusted Jade to watch her when I go on vacation. She has done this for me a few times. Sometimes we go on walks as well as she likes to do. She does a great job of taking care of Bean, and I will always ask her first to watch Bean. I know she’s loving towards other dogs as well because she enjoys taking Bean when she doesn’t even need watched.”

13. Chenyi W.
About: Hi I’m Chen, moved to Alton last year and currently working as a Product Manager at a software company. I love animals— I have a mini dachshund and two cats. While I love my puppy dog, cats hold a special place in my heart ❤️ I believe in open communication to build trust with my clients (and the pets haha), and because of that, I have many repeat clients. I’m ecstatic to meet your pet(s) and thankful for considering me. I’m very responsive on Rover, so if you have any question/inquiry, please reach out. Thank you! I am currently working from home. My work schedule is quite flexible, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I have a yard (not fenced in unfortunately) at my house and one puppy and two kitties to keep your fur babies company. Your babies will be supervised most of the day unless I am out running errands. If they are fully house-trained, I can just leave them be, otherwise, I will crate them!


14. Kaylee S.
“Kaylee is the only person we let watch and walk our lovely Cock-a-Poo. Kaylee is wonderful with animals, and took such good care of our poo. She's dependable, loving and so great with not only dogs, all animals. I would highly recommend Kaylee as your pet will defiantly be in great hands.”


15. Maria M.
About: I have cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, and hedgehogs since I was 13 years old! I often cared for senior cats who were 18+ years old so I am very used to giving medications and special diets. I grew up with dogs and am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I recently welcomed a puppy, so I also have experience with puppy training. Our home has one resident dog, but I have a two-level house, so I can keep pets separate for boarding. I am happy to send check-in photos of your little buddy while you are away and provide lots of long walks and playtime! I am currently in between jobs as I focus on my online courses, so I am home full-time to care for your babies! All I ask is 3 days' notice for boarding. Every animal's needs are different, and I am incredibly flexible depending on you and your little buddy's needs! For boarding, I have one resident dog that loves all cats and dogs (he is only 12 lbs, so he is not intimidating in the slightest!). I also have a two-story house, so I am able to keep the pets separated if your pet prefers to be the only animal around.


16. Maria L.
“Maria has been dog/house sitting for us for a long time. She is trustworthy, professional and very loving to our dog. She always keeps us posted and sends pictures so we can enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog is well taken care of. She takes him on walks and keeps him entertained. We know he loves it when Maria is watching him. I highly recommend Maria for your dog and house sitting needs”


17. Gabbi H.
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.


18. Heather S.
About: I provide pet sitting in my home for puppies and small dogs (under 20 lbs). I also provide drop in services to your home and dog walking. My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.
