Dog Walkers in Branson West, MO

About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.

“Jodi is absolutely amazing! She is very thorough and thoughtful of my dogs needs. Even when unexpected things happen she is very accommodating. I completely trust that when she is watching my fur child, she has their best interest at heart!”

About: I love taking care of animals! I have a cat, 2 Australian Shepherds, and I raise sheep for shows) Please reach out with any needs! I work throughout the week so weekends are best! I can also pop in early mornings or in the evenings anytime after 5 pm ! If you crate your dog, I have no problem with that. I have crate trained both of my dogs! If your pet is dog friendly and up to date on shots, my mini Australian shepherds love a good play date. We love going on long walks or trips to the creek!

About: I have owned and taken care of pets since I was a child. I love animals! They deserve top notch care and I will provide that to them! I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am flexible and can be available during the day, some. Whatever you need, we will figure it out. I will not just put your fur baby in a crate, I will interact, play, and cuddle with them! While you are away, your pet will be safe and well taken care of.

About: Compassion, love, patience, and being energetic in dog walking and pet sitting services. Adult and senior care including giving medications and supplements. Enjoy preparing homemade treats. I'm retired and have my own small, senior dog to walk several times/day. My schedule is open to fit others' needs. I count it a privilege to give the best of care. I follow what my clients ask of me, such as number of walks or visits daily, overnight care with or without crating. Comfort in a peaceful home and neighborhood.

About: My family has had pets ever since I can remember. I've cared for fish, hermit crabs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and the ones that stand out the most would be dogs. When I visit fellow humans, I'm usually drawn to their animals; whether that be their dogs, farm animals, or cats (which I'm very allergic to). I enjoy walking dogs, brushing animals when they allow me, and of course snuggling. I can be gentle and be firm with direction when needed. My family currently has 1 dog that I primarily care for. I have left my full time job and ready to watch your furry family members all day! We are up and going around 8am. I let dogs out and feed them. Outside again. Maybe a walk around the neighborhood, weather depending. I am able to let your pet out as needed. I may need to leave our home a couple hours at time, so ideally your pup would be okay left alone. I let pets get comfortable with me and surroundings and spend time gaining their trust and let them approach me. I can let your pet outside to do business and feed them per owner's instructions. Depending on requested service, I can walk your dog(s). All dogs will be leashed when they go outside to do their business as my yard is not fenced.

About: I've been pet-sitting and house since I was young. I have experience with dogs, cats, lizards and fish. I just wanna spend some time with some sweet animals. Im very flexible so I'll try to stick to their routine as it keeps them less stressed out. If I don't have anything else on my schedule I'll stay with your pet as long as I can so they don't get lonely. I write notes on anything you tell me and will check with you to make sure it's all good so nothing is forgotten and everything is up to you. I prefer to meet dogs with the parents first so it knows I am a friend but if not possible we can work something out.

Although she doesn’t advertise boarding, my dog has stayed with her on multiple occasions and truly enjoyed the interactions with her family including their dog. 100% recommend.

“Melissa was great with my very large energetic lab. He loved going to the park with her. She was able to handle his excitement and pulling. I hired her for dog walking, however she went above and beyond by picking him up and taking him to the park since our neighborhood is not very adequate for walking.”

Sarah Y.

“Sarah was great and I highly recommend her to take care of your pets! She was right on time to walk our Xena and communicated with us throughout the process. We were staying in a little cabin at Camp Long Creek and went out to Silver Dollar City. Sarah came to the cabin, found the key we had hidden for her, and walked our dog. That’s a lot for someone to have to do, but she did it! Very professional.”

Abigail H.

“Sarah did great with our dog while we were enjoying Silver Dollar City. We used her dog walking services in our campground. Our time in the park was more enjoyable knowing our dog was in good hands. Sarah was easy to communicate with and she left us great feedback. Would recommend her services to others.”
