About: Welcome to the Lapdog Lounge!! I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, with many years dedicated to small breeds—especially Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes. I understand their quirky, lovable personalities and the extra TLC they sometimes need to feel safe and at home. I genuinely enjoy helping petite pups feel secure, cherished, and comfortable—whether we’re snuggling on the couch or just keeping each other company. Because I focus on caring for small dogs in my home, I welcome small breeds of all kinds under 25 pounds. This helps ensure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and able to relax in a cozy, low-stress environment where little dogs can truly thrive. I take a limited number of guests so I can provide the best care - booking are first come, first served once confirmed. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home almost all the time, so your pet will never feel alone or forgotten. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I love providing attention, structure, and affection—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or cozy companionship. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. From a secure setup to thoughtful routines, here’s what you can expect when your pup stays at the Lapdog Lounge: • 🏡 A fully fenced, secure backyard for safe (and supervised!) zoomies • 🚧 A baby-gated setup indoors so I always know who’s where—no sneaky escapes here! • 👀 Outdoor time is always chaperoned—nobody’s out there alone • 🐾 Dogs get let out every couple hours for potty breaks, fresh air, and a good stretch—and they can always ask to go out whenever they need to! • 🍽️ Mealtimes are separate to keep things calm and cozy—every pup eats in peace • 🚫 No human food—just the treats your pup is used to (plus I’ve got plenty on hand if you’re okay with sharing!) • 💤 A dedicated doggy sleep room where pups can snooze however they’re most comfy—bed, crate, or snuggled up with me and my crew • 🌙 Dogs are never left alone overnight—everyone gets tucked in safe and sound • ⏰ I’m happy to follow any special routines or schedules your pup needs to feel at home

“Took elphie in super last minute and saved the day. Was so kind and loving to her and made me feel comfortable leaving her. She sent lots of photos and was very obviously enjoying the presence of my dog, which gives any dog mom peace of mind!”

“My high energy, anxious GSP comes home happy and tired every time. I’m so glad to have found a safe place Charlie can run, play, and socialize. Dylan is great with all kinds of dogs!”

Amy R.

“Daisy had a great time with Oksana and her poms! She was so tired from playing with her pups that she slept most of the ride home! We really appreciate Oksana. If we are ever in Branson again, I would trust to leave my pup with her. She sent multiple pictures and updates to me throughout the day and is very timely in responding to messages. I highly recommend Oksana, nothing is more important than finding a trustworthy person to watch your pets. She's your gal!”

Samantha W.

“This was our pups first time staying with someone for the day so our family could enjoy SDC and Emily was great! Very friendly and reassuring at drop off and helped make him more comfortable. She sent pictures of their play time and outside time. Would definitely trust her with our pup in the future!”

Liz R.

“Jill was wonderful with Baby. So happy she was available to care for our little girl. I felt so comfortable, I actually forgot she was with a sitter!”

Lea J.

“Cortney was very friendly, and she took great care of our two energetic dogs! Her place is clean and she was able to care for multiple dogs very well. She communicated well and promptly returned messages and also sent multiple pictures and a video. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”

Kathy P.

“Wicket ran up to Tracy as if she was a long lost friend! He didn’t have any anxiety when I left. Tracy made my fur baby feel safe and secure. She was wonderful!”

Julie R.

“Addy was communicative and sent cute pictures and videos throughout the day. A huge thanks for watching Jett!”

Emily J.

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Wow! She was so incredible with both my dogs, especially my problem child little Biewer who thinks she runs everyone and everything. She did just as I suggested with the Biewer, just deal with her as though you've always known her (without hesitation). Even with her two dogs, neither of our dogs had any issues. If anyone is hesitant about leaving your babies with someone, rest assured she will protect and care for your babies as you would ypurself.bWe will definitely be back!”

Trish D.

“Liza was amazing, my fur baby had the best time!! Would 10/10 recommend if you are in the area and need someone to watch your baby. She sent photos and updates entire day!”

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have three of my own. Other than taking care of my own, I have fed and walked dogs for other neighbors and friends. I believe dogs are a part of the family. I understand the level of love and care your pet needs. I currently work from home, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your dogs! I am available to let your pup have needed potty breaks, play time, and walking throughout the day. My house has its own dog room where your dogs can play, nap, and be in a safe space. If crates are preferred, we can crate them in this dog room, or if the weather is pleasant, we can crate them in the garage. We have .5 acre lot where the dogs can roam under my supervision. Me and my husband have three dogs who love to play and meet other dogs. We have plenty of toys and much love to give to your pup! I know updates are very important for your peace of mind, so I will keep in touch with you sending pictures and updates throughout their time with me.

“So happy with this sitter, she kept good care of our Doodle while we made our last minute stop at Lamberts on our trip to Missouri! She was a great communicator and shared photos and logged his walk during his stay.”
