Dog Boarding in Alton

“Annybell is terrific! She really does love dogs and it shows. I definitely recommend her!”

“Lynda (with help from her husband and Charlie her resident Golden Retriever) were great hosts for Keifer and Red while we were on vacation. Lot's of Snow, Sleet and Frigid Temps were no match as the dogs were treated to daily walks and quality ball playing time in the yard. Big thanks for e-mailing pictures taken during our trip, they were a great treat to see while we were away and missing the furry rascals. Will be sure to come back again if we need to be away.”

“Our puppy had a wonderful stay with Heather! She is very responsive, friendly and accommodating. I could tell from her daily pictures that our dog was well taken care of and loved :) We will absolutely use Heather again!”

“We are so grateful to have found Kim to care for our dog Mochi while we were on a trip! She is accommodating, communicative and kind. We did not have to worry about leaving our dog with her and knew that Mochi would enjoy being around her dog as well. We got lots of pictures and Mochi got lots of exercise and rest too! I would not hesitate to ask Kim for her help in the future.”

“Terry is so amazing and caring with our Bella. We were a little nervous leaving our Bella as this is our first time having our dog staying with a sitter but as soon as we met Terry and her family, we knew that our dog would be in good care. Terry was patient, flexible and super helpful with our still growing pup. We 100% recommend her and would definitely have our dog stay with her again next time we visit the area.”

“Our pup enjoyed his stay! We've been involved with Carrie for several months for puppy training. She has been wonderful in helping us to train our dog. She has great, practical strategies. She is reliable and flexible and goes above and beyond. We are thrilled to have someone that we trust. Thanks for a great stay!”

“Becky goes over and above for the pups. She takes them for fantastic walks, and is so kind and loving that I wonder if Brutus will want to come home! Highly recommended! I’m already using her services again ♥️”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years including watching my family farm while my parents are away. I have experience ranging from 8 week old puppies and kittens to senior animals. I also have copious experience with rabbits and guinea pigs. Experience with diabetic dogs as well. I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I teach Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-8 but am otherwise free other than the occasional meeting. I have one dog who is very friendly. I also have two calm cats that keep to themselves. I have an extra crate in home and only take animals outside on leash.

“Julie is amazing! It was our first time leaving our dogs, Ava and Izzy but Julie made the experience so much easier. You can tell she truly cares for animals and that the animals love her and feel safe. We got plenty of pictures and communication with her was perfect. We’ll only use Julie in the future, she’s fantastic!!”

“Fist time leaving my pups for 4 day stay even, she always sent me pics daily on what they were up too. Just peace of mind ….. definitely coming back to Katie!”

“Marlo was an excellent host to our Shadow during a recent trip. Many picture updates and reassuring us that Shadow was doing well. Highly recommend Marlo and family. 😉👍”

“Due to a death in the family, I needed someone to watch my Boxer with less than 24 hours notice. Paul responded within minutes of my request and was very accommodating, to both me and my dog. He treated him like part of the family, even letting him sleep on his bed! I highly recommend his services for your furry friends.”

About: Years of experience! Former kennel tech/daycare manager. I can care for all types of animals big and small. I have knowledge in the field of puppy care elder care and medication administration orally and injectable. Have cared for many diabetic animals and know exactly how they should be cared for/medicated. I'm a bus driver through the school year so I'm gone early morning and then again mid afternoon for about 3 hours each time. Home all night and weekends are completely open! I'll be sure to follow whatever your schedule/routine may be with your pets to the very best of my ability. I'm very open with communication so anything I think I may not be able to do I won't be afraid to let you know.

“My dogs loved Jennifer and her family. They were so tuckered out from all the play time. I can't thank you enough for taking them and I'll absolutely be bringing them back!!”

“Dawn kept our very shy kitty while we were out of town for 3 1/2 days. She was great. Bella had a room to herself and became less shy. Her eating was normal and also using the litter box was normal, an indication of little stress. We will definitely use her again.”

“Dalton is the absolute best dog sitter we have ever worked with. We have an incredibly anxious and shy pup who takes a while to warm up to new people. Dalton went above and beyond to make sure she was cared for. He literally moved a tv to be closer to her when she was so nervous she wouldn’t leave the one room. I got lots of photos and updates while we were gone (about 10 days). Our pup got loads of walks and treats, and when she was ready, lots of belly rubs. When we picked her up she was of course happy to see us, but she also kept running back over to Dalton. I feel like we just found a dog whispering magician!”

About: I like dogs and cats. Doesn’t matter what I watch but cats are easier for sure! I live in a great area where tons of people walk their dogs Open for anything since I’m retired and have the time now. Prefer to watch pets in my own home but will watch in yours if your more comfortable I don’t have fenced in yard. I would need to walk dogs on leash or keep cats inside. I do have yard for dogs to wander around as long as they are tethered and I’m watching them

“My pooch has never felt more at home with a sitter! She felt so comfortable that she ate all her food (which is usually a struggle while I'm away) and had no issues whatsoever. She even made the rounds saying goodbye to everyone before we left. I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received and will be back again soon!”

“Not only is Betsy responsible and reliable, she is also incredibly kind to both animals and humans. Her communication is timely and clear, and I fully trust her to be in my home. There are not many humans I would feel comfortable with taking care of my best girl, but she is certainly one of them!”

“Nicole was very good with Cozo. Since I was from out of town, there was a lot of coordination ahead of time that needed to happen nd she was very responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend Nicole and her house for all your per needs.”
