“Keana was wonderful in caring for our pets while on vacation. We haven’t done this with an overnight sitter before so we were nervous but she came and met us and our animals which put us at ease with her way with the dogs and cat. While away she sent us videos daily and let us know how they were doing! She offered to stay later if there was a travel hang up too. The house was also spotless when we got home! I highly recommend her and will def use Keana again!”


“This was our second time using Laura. She communicates amazing and sends pictures and video. She always leaves the house cleaner than when she found it. She truly is an amazing sitter and I feel blessed to have found her.”


About: I love animals. Super excited to work with you and your fur baby. Working with animals is a passion for me. Animals and I have a connection that makes them feel comfortable and at home. Of course it also entertains me in the mean time. I currently have a puppy that’s a year and a half that lives with me and my Husband. I also have a husky that's 4 yrs old that lives with my dad. I grew up around animals and it’s always a pleasure to be able to work with your fur baby. As far as special skills, I’m able to maintain control of the dog on walks as well as in home while providing the upmost care for your baby. Looking forward to meet you and your furry family. I am a college student taking cosmetology classes Monday- Friday from 5pm- 10pm. I work part time jobs that are based off my schedule during that week. (Uber, DoorDash) I am beyond flexible for you and your furry kids. I am closely located by a park. I am very active and loving. I will spend extra quality time with your furry baby to make sure they are comfortable during my time with them.

“Ashleigh came through for us when our friend had a family emergency and was unable to stay this weekend to watch our pups. It was short notice and she was still able to take the best care. We have her booked for a future stay as well! Couldn’t recommend her more - great communication, so good with the pups and left our place just as we did! ☺️ we also have dogs that don’t get along and have to be separated in our home and she did great with this!”


About: I would love to dog sit for you! I have a dog of my own and I’ve helped raise dogs all of my life. I love playing with high energy dogs as well as lounging around with the older ones. I have taken care of many friends and family’s dogs and I enjoy it! I can also help with basic training such as “sit, stay, and shake”. I work a part time job that allows me to have flexibility so I am available anytime with the exception of 2-4 hour jobs that I may have in the mornings/afternoons on some days. You can trust me with your fur babies while you are gone! I love animals and I would never hurt them. I have helped take care of animals my whole life so I can handle tough situations. I am also very responsible in remembering medications that your pet may need and when to feed/ take out to potty/ and play with them.

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.

“We were very pleased with Destanee and will definitely use her again when we need a sitter for our boy! She sent us pics and let us know he was happy and doing fine, which made our time away more enjoyable for us!”


“Brooke had to go through a severe storm at our house that took out power to half of the city. She kept Belle, who is terrified of storms, comfortable and safe until we were able to get home hours later. We can't thank her enough.”


“What an absolute treasure to have Mary and Morgan taking care of my precious fur babies and my house full of plants, too! They were amazing and made me feel so confident in the care they provided to my two 90lbs people-loving lap- dogs! In fact Mary showered them with so much love and attention, I think they were hoping she was with me when I came home! Excellent communication prior, during, and day of return-even a special treat when I arrived back! Highly recommend this dynamic duo for your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort as well as your own peace of mind while traveling! Thank you ladies!”


“Ashley was so wonderful with our pup! She came when we needed a last minute dog sitter and sent the best photo updates while we were out! We would definitely call Ashley again—she’s great and will take good care of your pup!”


“Emily is great! She spent two days with our dogs. They liked her ( and so did we!) right from the start and were so excited to see her when she returned in day two! Emily is easy going, friendly and prompt and it’s obvious she loves animals. We will definitely contact Emily the next time we’re in the Branson area.”

I currently am more available to have fun and care for pets, which are my passion in life. I have a flexible schedule to play or rest with your loved furfam. I prefer to watch pets at clients home unless they are small dogs. If its only a few days I can stay at clients house and watch them. If they get along with my two pets I would love to bring them along. If not I can leave them with my daughter.
