Dog Boarding in Bethalto

“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!”

“Sarah was great about giving many updates with pictures. I would definitely use her again. It's hard leaving your fur baby behind, but she made me feel much better about it.”

“Stacie was able to watch my dog on short notice. I was a little nervous leaving my little guy for the first time, but I knew he was in excellent hands. I will absolutely be contacting her the next time I need him watched!”

“Kyleen was absolutely wonderful. We unexpectedly needed week long care for our 2 dogs over the Christmas holiday and feel so lucky to have found Kyleen. Our dogs were so happy and well taken care of and will definitely contact again when we need somewhere for our dogs to stay. Her communication was amazing. Kyleen sent daily updates and photos on how our dogs were doing. That first day she sent multiple updates which I very much appreciated.”

“Erin was so amazing our little one didn't want to come home. Great communication and went above and boyond for us. We look forward to our next trip because we know our little one will be in great hands. Thank you again!”

“She sent me pictures every single day and reassured me my fur baby was happy and safe. We would use her services again and I highly recommend her”

“Hanna was better than anything we could ask for! For one, my travel plans for work kept unraveling, and yet she was still available in short notice. Secondly, lots of people are averse to big dogs - mine is a Cane Corso, and in the past, she's just had to travel with me because I've never been able to find anyone to watch her who I'd trust. Thankfully, the meet and greet went well. Though my pup was really nervous, she warmed right up to Hanna and her family. I knew instantly that she was going to be in great hands, but upon learning a lot about Hanna's background with dogs, I was even more relieved. My dog had such a great time that she didn't even want to leave (which hurt my feelings lol), but now I know I have a trusting sitter near me available for all my travel needs, and that's such a blessing.”

“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!”

“Jenny is a wonderful person to watch your special "baby." She is very responsible, careful, trustworthy, kind and loving. She follows any special instructions or requirements she's been given and always ensures the absolute safety of your pet. Animals just seem to naturally gravitate to her and want to be near her. I feel comfortable with her in my home as I know her character and I don't have to worry about that aspect at all...she has morals and ethics and will always put the animals needs first and foremost. What more can you ask for? I highly recommend her! ”

“Awesome pet sitter! Having a husky, I know people can be on the fence on whether to watch one. I’m so glad Christina was open minded and knew how to care for high energy animals. Photos and updates were consistent and she was super flexible last minute for me. Would hands down recommend her without a doubt. Thank you!!!”

“So grateful to have found Julie! She was very communicative, sending photos and texts of how Leo was doing while we were away. It made me feel so relieved to know he was being so well cared for and having a great time while we had to leave him for the weekend. I can’t thank her enough for easing my worry of having to leave my pup and for doing such a great job giving him love & attention!”

“Highly recommend using Tami to care for your pet! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone for the first time but she made me feel at ease and took great care of my dog! She sent me pictures and texts to ensure me my dog was doing great!”

“Danielle was wonderful and I would love to book again. Definitely recommend her. She took wonderful care of Sonoma and was great to work with!”

“Joy was very accommodating and did a wonderful job taking care of our fur baby.Can highly recommend her.”

“Kelly was amazing! I was so hesitant leaving my pups with a new person, but she made me feel so comfortable. She sent daily pictures of the dogs and I was able to enjoy a weekend away knowing they were taken care of!”

“Ebony, is the best sitter in North County. She is very personalable and is loves taking care of dogs. She is my go to sitter when I need someone to watch my baby boy. She sends pictures twice a day and aways responds when you messenge her. My puppy is aways safe and happy with her. Thanks for being such a great sitter. 😊”

“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!”

“Sylena has been watching my furry friend Felix for over a year now and has been such a help. She is a compassionate, caring animal lover and I have been so lucky to be able to entrust my dogs needs in her care.”

“I highly recommend Ryan and the Dogfather Inn! Harvey my dog received the care and attention he needed. Ryan took the time to work with socializing my reactive dog. My dog normally loses his mind when he see another dog but after 3 nights @ the Dogfather Inn, I can already see a difference. Ryan is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. You will not be disappointed!”

About: I have spent my life with pets. I've fostered for rescue, worked with several pet food companies and am very educated in pet nutrition. I've volunteered at my local humane society. I'm an experienced pet handler and have worked with a pet relocation company providing boarding and long distance ground transportation. I have and excellent knowledge of dog breeds and breed specific behavior and needs. I treat every animal I work with as if he/she were my own. All animals in my care are treated as royalty. I have a special love for senior and special needs dogs and always welcome them for services. I will always treat your pet as a member of the family and take extra special care when taking them on dogs walks and transporting them. I'm bonded and insured and a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters I work from home part-time so I'm always home for daycare and boarding. I also have the flexibility to do drop-in visits and petsitting in your home In home boarding and daycare are cage free. Pups are crated at night for sleeping depending on how many dogs are in the house, how well I know them and of course, what they're sleeping preferences are. I'm not a fan of crating pups unless its necessary for health and or safety.
