Pet Boarding Wood River

About: I have been providing animal care services to friends and family for years and love it! I prioritize keeping the family pets safe and comfortable. I have spent time with all kinds of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I know how important family pets are and that's why communication is a top priority. I provide frequent check-ins and photos if requested! :) With several years of experience, I'm a trusted companion for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer flexible scheduling, attentive care, and a genuine love for animals! I know every animal and family is unique, so let me know your individual needs and requests and I am happy to accommodate. I am available Monday-Friday and on the weekends! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible; I have client appointments every so often but am available most of the time. I have a fenced in yard and love to stay active so I'm happy to go on plenty of walks with your pup(s)! I am attentive and genuinely love playing with dogs as well as giving them the attention they need to be happy.

“What a great experience. They were kind and very professional. Katie has a lot of experience with dogs and is very caring and knowledgeable. Her home was clean and welcoming and her dogs were wonderful, welcoming friends to my loveable goofball boy. I’m so glad I found these folks. Can’t recommend them enough.”

“We had a great experience leaving our Aussidoodle, Willie, with Cynthia and her sweet lab, Luna. I received numerous pictures and was happy to know Willie had a very large, fenced in yard for roaming and exercise. Cynthia treated Willie like her own and gave positive feedback about his stay. I won't hesitate to request Cynthia for future boarding.”

“Christina was great. She sent lots of pictures and got some nice professional ones that are real keepers. She's real trustworthy and I will be using her again.”

“Nicole did an amazing job at taking care of my 2 Elkhounds. She is very experienced and completely understood the situation with my male wanting to mark his territory. She kept me in the loop on how they were doing and let me know how she planned on handling situations. Nicole was very understanding when my return flight was canceled and I would be a few hours later than planned in picking them up. I definitely recommend Nicole.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment we met Linda and her husband Dwight, we knew our pup was in loving hands. They treated our dog like family, and it was clear how much they genuinely love animals. Throughout the stay, Linda kept us updated with pictures and messages, giving us total peace of mind. It was such a relief to know that our dog wasn’t just being looked after but truly cared for. If you’re looking for a sitter who is not only reliable and responsible but also kind-hearted and sweet, Linda and her husband are the perfect choice. We can’t recommend them enough and will definitely be booking with them again!”

“Raven made sure my dog and cat were happy and cared for during our vacation, and I felt so comfortable knowing they were in her hands! We got pictures and updates, and I would have no hesitation boarding them with Raven again”

“Chelsea was amazing and Pepper fell for her immediately which made me feel even more at ease with leaving her with a complete stranger who instantly became family.”

“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.”

“Laronna has been taking care of our pups for a while now and she is amazing! Our dog absolutely loves her place and is happy each time we drop her off at Laronna’s place!”

About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice. I’ve raised a hand full of litters and pride myself on a loving and fun home for my animals! I can fit almost any Animal within my schedule and around my other small pup! We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time. I provide fresh water, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions.

“Gabrielle was great with our dog and keeping us updated. It's clear she cares and was giving our little guy a lot of attention. We always felt like he was in good hands.”

Chad P.

“I cannot say enough about our experience with Francie. She is the dog whisperer. Pepita had such a good time with Francine and all of her new dog friends. She ran and played so much this high energy pincher was asleep before we left the street. Francie somehow managed to help Pepi become more confident and comfortable so she is less reactive. I’m so pleased and can’t wait for our next visit to St Louis.”

Jenn G.

“Laura is wonderful. Sadie and Bob were well attended too. I enjoyed the videos and pictures that she shared. My babies were in great hands.”

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.

“Ren had such a good time with Rachael and Joe that I didn't think he'd want to come back home with me. Rachael was great about communicating updates, videos, and pictures to make me feel good about how he was doing (first time boarding with non-family). Highly recommend and plan to use in the future while I live in this area.”

“Our girls had a fantastic time with Jennifer and her pups! Jennifer sent photos and updates every day, putting my mind at ease while we were out of town. The girls loved spending time with Jennifer’s pups, and they got to go on lots of walks and adventures! I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they were provided :)”

“Billie had the best time with Elizabeth! I will definitely be using her again!!”

“Here is a revised version of the review: Once again, Barbora looked after our Otis with exceptional care while we were on vacation. Thank you!”

Lorie M.

“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!”
