Pet Boarding in Wood River

“We’ve used Cynthia several times and have been very pleased. Winston goes on walks, lounges around the house or fenced in yard, enjoys the company of Cynthia’s pets and is well-taken care of. Cynthia keeps me updated with photos/texts. She’s easy to schedule with and obviously cares for animals. Highly recommend!”

“Nicole was amazing! She kept us updated the entire time she watched our dogs and we can definitely understand why she has so many repeat families. Highly recommend!”

“If you’re looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, Keri is it. She watched my pup recently and absolutely knocked it out of the park. When my flight got canceled last minute, Keri didn’t even blink—she just handled it. She made an extra trip to get food for my dog without me even asking, and stayed in close contact the entire time. I got photos and videos almost every day (sometimes multiple times), and I never once had to wonder how things were going. No other sitter I’ve used has ever been this proactive, thoughtful, and communicative. Keri is the kind of sitter you hope you’ll find but rarely do. She’s a total gem.”

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. For people interested in boarding, I have a fenced yard and an 11/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.

“Our yorkie, Tucker, had a wonderful stay with Stacie and her family. I received texts and photos every day to let us know how he was doing. Stacie provided immediate responses to my texts. Tucker got so much special attention. I would recommend Stacie to anyone needing pet care ❤️.”

About: I’ve owed and taken care of animals for decades. They are an indelible part of families and should be treated with an abundance of love. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to love and care for animals. Your pet will be treated as a member of my family. I have owned four dogs but they have all crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a fenced yard. Your pet will be allowed on my furniture and sleep in my bed (if they want to).

“Linda and Dwight are absolutely amazing! Our boys loved overnighting with them. Medicine was administered properly and correctly and updates were plentiful which we were incredibly grateful for. Finding someone you trust to watch your pets is so stressful. I can assure you that if you choose Linda and Dwight, you will be delighted with how happy your pets will be.”

“Laronna was a super sitter for our beloved Ari. We felt so safe with him staying with her. She has a fenced in yard with a doggie door for convenience, plus two wonderful "laps" for him to snuggle up on. I got lots of pictures of him doing what he likes best, lap sitting. I thank Laronna and her mother for their wonderful care of Ari. We so appreciate them welcoming him into their "pack"!”

“They were great!!! She kept me updated with pictures. This was my first time leaving Bella so I didn't know how she would behave. When I picked her up, I was surprised that she was ready to leave!! She had so much fun.”

About: Growing up I’ve had about 4 dogs total, a couple fish and maybe a snake or two. I’m friendly and I love cuddling with fur babies!! Dogs are my safe haven and they bring so much joy into my life! I’m currently unemployed and new to this town. Therefore, I have so much time and opportunity. I would love to help daily and possibly have returning customers! I have a safe pretty empty apartment with lots of space for running and fun!! I also have a Guinea pig that loves running around and is very friendly with other animals! Your fur babies are in good hands with me.

“I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!”

“I most definitely recommend and will be using their services again and again!!! I felt very much at the ease leaving my baby in their care. My baby (LunaRee) had a great time!!”

“Francie is wonderful! She is very responsive and flexible. She provided updates and pictures everyday we were gone. Our pup, Tanner, had a great time with Francie and playing with new friends. We would definitely recommend her and will be taking Tanner to her again!”

“We love Jennifer she’s an amazing dog mom and I consider her Abby’s vacation dog mom 💕 Abby has a great time and I’m always at ease when she’s w Jennifer”

“Sara was nice. She was very attentive, and clearly loves animals. She took the time to send updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cat, who can be shy, warmed up to her quickly — a true sign of trust.”

About: My girlfriend and I foster animals and would love to spend time with yours. We have a fenced in back yard and experience in taking care of dogs. Hospice fostering is where our heart is fullest. I work in St. Louis Mon-Wed. Thursday & Fridays I can work remotely. I’m available all weeekend. Mondays I don’t work until noon. So long weekends are perfect. Thursday-Monday is best for me. My girlfriend also pet sits if I’m not free. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs who live at my house. I have a older chihuahua who will ignore your dogs so she can sleep, and I have a younger boxer mix that loves everyone and all dogs, and always wants to play. I may have a foster animal in the house as well. My animals can stay at my girlfriends house from time to time if you prefer less interaction with other dogs. We have gates up that can be closed. We have experience with all temperaments.

“Alysa was great! She stayed in communication with me and provided photos throughout the time. I would definitely book through her again!!”
