“What an amazing pet sitter! Our dog, Rooster, got to spend a Friday with Emily and her family and then the following Monday got to spend another day.

About: I have loved dogs since childhood and over the last 11 years I have fostered and adopted senior dogs to give them a forever home. I’m currently home full-time, so your dog will have my full attention, company, and care around the clock. Whether it’s belly rubs, gentle walks, or just relaxing together, I make sure each dog feels at home. I have a secure, pet-friendly home with plenty of space and a calm environment—perfect for seniors, anxious pups, or dogs that just need some extra TLC. I have a big fenced yard with a doggy door so they can come and go as they please. I just lost my senior boxer, Taylor, so it’s just me and my big rescue, Hank, a hound mix. I’ve cared for countless dogs in this home, including special need seniors.

“Autumn took great care of my daughters dog while we spent some time playing in Branson. We were greeted with a smile as we dropped him off with her that morning and she communicate very well, asking all the right questions to make sure she took the best of care of him that day. I was impressed with her outdoor kennels for each of the dogs in her care. Though he plays well with most dogs I was glad to know he had his own separate space just encase he didn’t get along with some of the others. We enjoyed the pictures she sent during his stay. It was so reassuring to know he was in good hands and was having a good time with Autumn. He even was a little torn about leaving her when it was time to go back to camp with us. Haha! Thank you Autumn we will definitely drop him by again when we need a sitter in the Branson area. ?”


“Taelee was great! Gill had a great day and was a super happy pup when he got home! Taelee was easy to communicate with and sent me updates throughout the day. She was incredible and Gill definitely enjoyed being showered with attention.”

About: I've been around animals all my life. From volunteering at Petsmart during adoption weekends to rescuing/fostering animals. It has been my passion since I was a kid. I've worked with all ages from older dogs who need medication and newborn puppies (I've even delivered puppies). I have experience getting timid dogs to trust me. All dog breeds, shapes and sizes are loveable and adorable. I can't wait to spend time with your little one (or big one) and they won't be lonely I have a 8yr old Catahoula mix who was rescued and she loves making new friends! She's very friendly and patient. Please pick us! I work from home which means plenty of time for breaks, walks, and play time. We'll care for your family member as if she/he was our own. :) I work from home and can be very attentive based on your dogs needs. I'm home daily and can make sure all your dogs needs are met. I have a couple dog beds, along with fluffy blankets for them to cozy on up with. Tennis balls for playing and plenty of sticks to chew on.

About: I've been taking care of my families and friends pets since i was 12 and I've loved every minute of it thats why I'm here It works perfectly fine because I'm currently enrolled in 15 hours of classes which only takes a little bit of my time away from home. I take care of the pets by constantly providing them with attention whether that be taking them out to walk, playing with toys, or teaching them new tricks. I also make sure that I'm teaching the dogs what is right and whats wrong and try to give them the best care I can while they are under my supervision.

About: I’ve grown up with animals In my home since I was a little girl. When friends and family go on vacation, I am the first call! I currently do not work outside of my home so, M-F your fur babies will get to go outside, play, and nap anywhere anytime. UnlessI need to run an errand but I try save those for Saturday so your animals have the best care! Our yard is not fenced in, but we have no issues with leash potty breaks. We play in the shop or the house if your dog is not recall trained. We have 2 adult dogs as well as one puppy who is still learning the ropes, they all have the sweetest personalities, love to fetch, and play with other dogs!

Meredith is so sweet, kind, trusting and very importantly loves all animals. She has watched our pets many times over the years.
