Dog Sitting in Nixa

About: I volunteered with Patriot Paws of Aggieland where I helped to raise and train service dogs for veterans at no cost to those veterans! I have also worked at Sit Means Sit Dog Training. I am very well experienced with dogs! I work weekdays but have nothing on weekends!! I'm excited to meet your babies! On weekends I can be very flexible, I do have my own fur baby to take care of but am capable of doing both! I make sure to not let the animals out of my sight for more than 2 minutes! I love to play with them or just lay around depending on what the animal prefers!

“I love the pictures and timely visits to my cats while away for christmas. She made sure they were fed and had clean water and took time to play with them even for a few minutes. This was beyond what we expected. I will hire her again if she is available when we go out of town again.”

“Meryk did a great job making sure Big Boy was happy and cared for while I was at work. He even stayed a few extra minutes extra to play with the cat wand and sent pictures! 10/10 will hire again.”

“Reanna is the best! My cats and dogs loved her the minute they met her. Even my dog with dementia wanted to interact with her. She did an excellent job caring for them and the photos from each visit kept me connected and free from worry. I have found my pet sitter.”

About: I have 40 years of pup to elder care experience. Training, care and presence for comfort and ease of the dog while owners are away can ease stress. Giving them attention and distraction will help in the owners absence. I’m retired and am wiling to take on all schedules and scenarios. I can feed, water, walk and administer medicine as needed and on schedule. I care for my dogs as if they are my kids. They are fed, cared for and vetted regularly. I would care for the owners dogs the same way or whatever way they ask me to.

“Lynette is totally awesome She can handle our large great dane better than anyone I know Our maincoon just loves her....And he has appropriately trained her where the treats are”

“Megan and Patrick did great with my cats! They were well fed and comfortable when I got home. I got picture updates of each cat every time they stopped by. They were also quick to respond to any messages.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve owned dogs myself, helped care for neighbors’ pets, and walked friends’ dogs over the years. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I understand pets thrive on consistency, and I’m happy to work with your routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and live in a safe south-side neighborhood with plenty of room for walks and playtime. Whether your pet loves to be active or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like family.

About: I have always had pets (dogs mostly) and love them! I will love your babies as if they were my own! I hope you pick me! I have recently retired and am looking for something gratifying to help other Dog owners with the care of their pet! I know how stressful it can be when you have to leave your pet for any length of time and would love to relieve that stress for you! 😊 I have a fenced in yard with a senior dog, Bella. She is such a great dog and is so aloof, like nothing bothers her! I am unable to board certain breeds due to home insurance restrictions and my senior dog so may not be able to accept every request, however, I haven’t turned one down yet!

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have owned my dog since he was a puppy, so I understand the patience, care, and attention dogs need at every stage. I’ve also helped train both my own dog and dogs for neighbors, which has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in both my home and yours. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions to create a safe and trusting environment.

About: Experienced in puppy training, special feeding/medication needs, and senior dogs.I have been caring for animals in some form or another for all of my life. Rest assured your pets are in good hands. I currently am a stay at home dog/bird dad! Therefore, my schedule is open, flexible, and able to suit the needs of you and your pets! Depending on your home and pets needs, I can make anything work! My wife and I have crate trained both our dogs and understand the necessity for a pet's safe place as well as time to play and socialize.

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve shared my home with both large breeds like Labradors and smaller pups like Miniature Schnauzers, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Over the years, I’ve potty trained my own dogs and taught them fun commands like sit, stay, shake, roll over, and even play dead. When I’m not working as a teacher, I love spending my free time walking, playing with, and caring for dogs-it’s both relaxing and rewarding. Whether you need someone to give your pup extra love and attention, keep up with their routine, or just get them out for a good walk, I’d be happy to help. I am open to caring for other animals such as cats and fish. I have cared for both in the past for friends and family. I treat every pet like my own and want you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions-I’d love to meet you and your beloved friend! I am currently working full time as a special education teacher. I am able to care for your animals before and after teaching. I am also able to help on weekends. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy space with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine and house rules while giving them the same love and attention they’re used to.

“Christina did a wonderful job with my Steve! (Cat) she was kind and asked if Steve could have treats. She is a fabulous care giver for your pet and I highly recommend her.”

About: I am a local mental health professional and animal lover with 2 fur babies of my own- cats- but I LOVE dogs as well and grew up around them. I have taken care of my own animals and animals of friends and family since I was a child. I will love your fur babies like my own! I have a flexible schedule with shorter workdays, which allows me to be available mornings, evenings, and for frequent check-ins throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, giving me plenty of time to provide consistent attention, play, walks, and companionship. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love being able to turn my free time into something meaningful by caring for pets as if they were my own. I provide care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine and your home environment. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply companionship, I respect your pet’s habits and your household rules, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away

About: I get asked to pet sit for friends and family all the time. I dont just do 10 minute check in's just to feed them and let them go potty. I play with them, spoil them with treats and loves, keep them company for a bit, all of it. I just graduated from high-school, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and I would love to spend it taking care of animals so family's dont have to worry about them while away from home. I do have a part time job, but it will be no problem to work around any schedule! I have 6 dogs, Ive been around a ton more, of all sizes and personalities. I love all dogs and I hope all dogs love me. Getting a dog to go potty or get in their crate is no problem for me, I can even teach them some helpful tricks like, sit, lay down, stay, all sorts.

About: I currently have two dogs of my own and they’re a big part of our family. Most of my experience comes from caring for my own pets. One of which has Addison’s Disease and requires special medication, so daily medication is something I would be comfortable assisting with when caring for other’s pets. I also have several years of experience with house sitting and drop ins for our family members pets. I absolutely love animals and would love to help others by making sure their pets are loved and taken care of while owners are away from home. I currently working full time Mon-Fri but I do have free time in the morning, during my lunch hour, and evenings are free. If morning care is needed it would be prior to 7:00am, my lunch break is around 11:00 each week day, and I’m available after 4:30 during the work week. Weekends are open so I can be more flexible. I don’t offer care to other’s pets in my home but I am happy to come to you! I will take care of your pet where they are most comfortable making the experience less stressful.

“Our Boxer rescue dog had a wonderful visit with Lael and her dogs Willow and Scout. He can't wait to go back! We were VERY impressed with Lael's passion for animals. Her home is very pet friendly and welcoming. We strongly recommend her!!”
