Dog Walking in Nixa

“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!”

“Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!”

About: I worked as a lead kennel attendant for nearly three years before moving to Springfield, and I can tell you there is a huge difference between boarding with a family rather than a facility. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved my job taking care of other people's pets, but I always wished there was something more I could do to comfort pets who were stressed or overworked by all the commotion. The large volume of pets and and tight schedules often left minimal to no time for cuddles, and only a couple potty breaks a day. This structure often separated families, especially those with cats and dogs, as they were kept in different buildings. By boarding in my own home, I am striving to provide a calm environment where your pets can be able to relax and feel comfortable. Unlike typical boarding facilities that are only open for 12 hours, your pet will be able to have someone there with them 24/7 to comfort and monitor them. Families of pets will also be able to be kept together, and roam the house as they normally would at home. I would be more than happy to welcome your pets into my home, so you can leave them knowing they are in good hands. Photo, video, and text updates can be requested at any time during the day to keep you updated on how your pet is doing. I also offer free optional baths at the end of their stay to wash any dirt from their adventures away! I would love to be your pets home away from home and spoil them with attention, play, and cuddles while you are away. ❤️ I do pet care along side my other businesses at home. I will sometimes go out to DoorDash around lunch and dinner time for just a couple hours at a time. Otherwise I will be at the house. I try to follow the owners regular routine to the best of my ability. If you have specific feeding, walk, kennel times, or other routines you would like to keep in place please let me know! Otherwise I work with your pet, offering potty breaks whenever needed, two feedings a day, large walks 1-2 times a day, unlimited water, and bed time the same as however you would do it at home. All walks must be leashed as I do not have a fenced in yard. The neighborhood has large open streets and side walks, with a large park only a 5 minute walk away.

“Maria is great! Easy to communicate with and meets all my expectations:)”

About: I have been dog sitting for more than 11 years and worked in the Veterinary field for more than 5 years. I have two beautiful baby girls and 2 dogs of my own (Kalypso and Corazón) that will be spending days of excitement with your best friend. When staying with me your furry friend will have lost of space to rest, play, run and enjoy their day. I also have grooming experience learned from my Veterinary technician school. I can do nail trims, baths, and ear cleanings. I can also administer medications if your pet is taking anything while staying with me. Your pet will be in great care while staying with me! Currently not working and staying at home with all of my babies, two beautiful girls and our family dogs. So I will be able to pay lots of attention to your fur babies. I do walks with a body harness for more safety while walking. I feed all dogs separate but at the same time to keep an eye on them and make sure no food aggression is present.

“Morgan has been wonderful! I was able to get her on fairly short notice and she made sure we were able to do a meet and greet first. She was very friendly and gave lots of attention to my animals. She walked different routes each time with the dogs so they could get new sights and smells! Superb effort and attitude!”

“Ivy took such care of our girl! She took Phoebe for a long long walk every day and Phoebe was so excited to see her when she came over! Ivy was very flexible and adjusted the schedule to accommodate the heat wave. And we got the cutest puppy pics every night. 10/10 will book Ivy again!!”

About: I have experience with pet medication, walking, and basic grooming and training. I’m available most of the time. I love taking dogs on close by trails, or to a dog park if preferred. I can also provide dog training. Dogs are a lot of fun and honestly I don’t want to be doing anything else. I’m very responsible and reliable and a I have a new car which kind of ensures that transportation won’t be an issue. If you give me a chance, I’ll be there. And if you let me, I’ll bring my dogs and we can have a puppy play date, if you will. I’m still young so I can definitely keep up, and so can my own dogs. I work Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm. So I’m available for evening walks and evening visits, and I’m completely open on the weekends! I can feed your pets on time and adhere to whatever your potty schedule may be. I have a fenced in yard and a loving 5 year old dog. We love guests at our house. If you prefer, I can watch your babies at your house. This is my most common request.

“Irina is amazing! She takes excellent care of our dog Rey. She takes her for long walks and gives her all the love! We would recommend her to everyone!”

About: Hello! My name is Victoria, but you can call me Tori! I grew up with pets of all shapes and sizes. Currently, my family has 6 dogs (including 4 pugs!) amongst a variety of other animals such as parrots, a cat, a turtle, and a rabbit. Sometimes the dogs will stop by and visit, but all of these pets live with my parents. We love our furry (and non-furry) friends over here! In addition, I worked at a veterinary clinic for 2 years as a kennel technician. In my position, I was responsible for caring for pets being boarded as well as hospitalized pets. I have the experience and passion for your furry friend(s)! Currently, I’m available Monday-Friday at any time for any walk schedule! I work part-time and will be attending school in the fall so my schedule will be completely open for a few more weeks! Please message me with any scheduling requests and/or questions, I’d be happy to work with you! I provide upmost care to take your furry friends on walks around the neighborhood to get some much needed engagement and stimulation! As a Drury college student, I’m happy to use this service opportunity to incorporate exercise and pups into my schedule!

About: I grew up in a dog-loving home and I started caring for my own dog at just 10 years old. I worked as a veterinary assistant in college which only deepened my love for animals, and now, my friends and family happily trust me to care for their dogs like my own! I’m working weekdays full-time on Rover and ready to help with drop-ins and walks whenever your pup needs a break. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a fun, energy-burning walk, I’ll make sure your pup feels cared for and loved! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! You can trust me to provide loving care every visit while respecting your home and routine.

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life! My family loves pets and we have 4 dogs and 2 cats. Moving away from college took me away from all of my pets and I miss getting to play with animals! I would love to take care of yours! I currently am a student at Ole Miss and have a pretty flexible schedule. I only have class 1 hour a day! Weekends and weekdays are open. I will follow all guidelines that the client gives and put your animal first! I am responsible and will make sure they get the care they need!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I have a rescue dog now and previously cared for my senior dog, who was diabetic with hip issues for over 5 years. I’m confident handling shy rescues, seniors, and pups who need special attention or medication. I’m currently job hunting, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding in my home most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I don’t offer in-home stays, but I’ll make sure your pup gets the same love and care they’d get at home. I currently have one friendly dog and one calm, well-behaved cat who are both used to being around other pets. My home is safe, pet-friendly, and I’m always watching to make sure everyone is comfortable. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I’ll follow any routines or instructions to help them feel right at home. I’ll be moving soon to a home with a fully fenced yard for even more space to play!

“I chose Kelsey as our first booking using Rover. My dogs loved Kelsey and her family right away! Thank you for such a great first experience, my pets were in such great hands!”

About: I volunteer with Patriot Paws of Aggieland where I help 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 babies 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!

About: I have tons of experience staying overnight watching animals from puppies to older dogs with several different breeds, I always had an animal at home growing up, and I think that is where my love for animals came from! I am currently working full time from 7:30-4:30 Tuesday through Friday. I do have availability from time to time when the Doctor I work for goes out of town. I am currently unavailable to board animals where I am staying however in the future I would be interested in boarding your fur baby where I reside!

About: **New clients** I require a meet and greet with you and your pet(s) so we can both get comfortable and get a feel for each other. I am able to administer most medications and will happily discuss any further questions or concerns. About me: I have had animals for well, my whole life! I have had dogs, cats, and fish. Currently, I have three cats that are all rescues. We adopted our “gutter kitty” Heidi from outside. Our kitty Goldie was declawed on all four paws and then tossed outside by someone. We took him in, hoping to give him all the love and affection that he deserves. And finally, our kitty lamp, he was rescued from someone who wasn’t able to take care of him anymore. I also have a fish, named diva. With my house full of critters, my priority is to also take care of yours with the same compassion I have for my own. I want you to feel confident that you can leave your animals in my care, and I want your fur babies to feel safe while in my care. I am currently available every day of the week Monday-Sunday and I am available any time of day. Any changes in my schedule will be updated immediately. All of my kitties get a ton of attention and play time. I encourage good behaviors with treats and redirect bad ones with teaching opportunities for them.

About: I have grown up being my families pet care provider! I am punctual, reliable, and most importantly, a pet lover of all, no matter how big or small. I treat everyone else’s pets as I would my own. I provide plenty of love, snuggles, compassion, and treats for your fur babies! I currently have a 5 month old GSD puppy and a 2 year old boston terrier, and they have helped gain a ton of knowledge that I believe will help greatly toward the care of your pets! I also have past work experience at a pet motel. I worked there for about 6 months while I was in school to complete my animal science degree, and I really enjoyed it. My tasks included feeding, administering medication, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and playing with them. This experience helped me tremendously. By bonding with several different dog breeds I have never been able to experience with, it showed me every single breed is special in their own way! I am currently working a part-time job as a residential and commercial cleaner. I am still trying to fill my schedule, so I will have a lot of days I don’t clean and will be able to come and take care of your pets when you need it! I care for pets in your own home because I feel it is more beneficial for your pet to not have to travel and be in a new environment they are not used to. That can cause a lot of stress and would not make a great experience for them. I want your pet to be comfortable and happy in their own home! In your home, I will take them for walks, clean up any messes made, give plenty of love and cuddles, and leave assuring your pets are happy and healthy!
