“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!”


“We had a great experience with MaryAnne caring for our fur baby! She was very warm & friendly & we felt comfortable having her in our home. Communication was great & she even left our pup with homemade treats. We’ll definitely have her back when the need arises. Would definitely recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!”


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.

About: I have 4 of my own dogs at home, I love hanging out with them and taking care of them but I do know that life gets busy and when your away you need someone to come and watch them for you! I get up in the morning and right away I take my dogs out and feed them and I take them out through out the day and feed them at night! I am able to feed them and watch them, my favorite thing to do is play with dogs! I also love giving them baths, and I love going on walks and it makes it so much more fun when you bring a dog along!

“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.”


About: I grew up on a farm with 16 horses, cows, dogs, and cats, which gave me solid experience in animal care. I also travel, camp, and hike with my cat, Pumpkin, which has helped me learn to manage various pet needs while on the move. My background includes experience with horses, dogs, and cats, as well as training and handling. I’m skilled in caring for both active and senior pets, providing personalized attention. My adaptability and travel experience make me a reliable choice for pets needing a caring and flexible sitter. I am currently working a remote job that I can log in at any time, so I can make my schedule around and pause for any pet care! I am across the road from an open field we can walk to or around Monroe's less busy roads. Pumpkin has his own bedroom he can go to that he is safe in and I have an additional open room if needed, along with the rest of the house. In client's homes, I can be there as long as needed and stay as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: I’ve owned many pets from dogs and cats to hamsters and chickens. I pet sit often around my neighborhood and love to volunteer at the local animal shelter! I’m available this summer from now until starting back at school mid August. I will be working primarily from 12:00 pm-6:00 pm but will have plenty of time to take great care of your pets outside of that. I’ll do my best to meet you and your pet's needs. I will provide loving care for your pets at your home where they are most comfortable. I can also take them for walks or to the local dog park. Whatever they are used to and enjoy doing, I would be happy to continue with them when needed and at your desire.

“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!”


“Jared helped me out in a real jam. Our sitter before him trashed the house. He stayed with them and took good care of them till another sitter could come for the weekend. He even came back to show the new sitter the ropes. Would recommend!”


About: I have had dogs my whole life. All different sizes and kinds. Love them all. Will treat every dog as if it were my own. I work full time from home so I can watch your dog all day if needed at my house. If I need to come to your house I can do that to it would just have to be on my lunch break or after work and anytime in the weekends I have a huge fenced yard. I have 6 dogs and they all love and play with all dogs. If needed to keep them separate I can do that as well.

About: I’ve been caring for my cat since I was 10 years old, and I’ve been her main caregiver ever since. Through the years, I’ve learned how to handle daily feeding, grooming, cleaning, and giving lots of love and attention. I’ve also had dogs in the past, although I was too young at the time to be their primary caretaker. However, I’m very comfortable around both cats and dogs and understand their basic needs and behaviors. What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong love for animals and the responsibility I’ve taken on from a young age. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. While I don’t have formal training in pet care or special skills like administering medication or training puppies, I treat every pet as if they were my own—giving them attention, comfort, and respect. I am working 40 hours a week during the summer with a break of 1 hour every 3/4 hours. I am completely free during the weekends, but caring for a pet wouldn't just make me happy it would also complement my day. I live in an apartment that resembles a house, but I don't have a yard. My home is completely safe for any pets, though nothing sharp would be reachable for the pets, and I can provide comfort.

“Highly recommended. Amy went above and beyond while watching our four dogs. She brought them toys and provided communication to me while I was away. She even spent time visiting with them before the scheduled time so they would be comfortable with each other. Amy is the best!”


About: I name is Kim. I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience. I have experience with puppies and with older dogs. I mainly have owed large breed dogs. My last dog Surge, just passed away in May. He was only four. I would love to live bicuriously through your pets. I work close to my apartment so I can do potty breaks through out the day and can provide a lot of attention and play time. Let me know what your pets needs are and I will let you know how I can help. I currently work full time about 5 minutes from where I live. I have a flexible schedule and would be able to check on your pets as often as needed. I live in the city. So it's all about a good walk for us. Also have a small yard at the apartment. I prefer to house sit to leave your dog in a familiar place. It seems better for the dogs.

About: I've owned and cared for cats and dogs all my life. Would love to drop in, walk or watch and play with your fur baby. Tasks negotiable. Am available for walks or drop ins weekdays and evenings. I am also available anytime most weekends. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I currently have a 5 year old dog and an 12 year old child. Live in the country on 4 acres. Fenced on 2 sides. Can crate if needed. Also have tie outs if needed. (Would keep on a leash when going out unless otherwise specified)

About: I have 20 years of animal care experience with both cats and dogs. I have 2 dogs and one cat of my own, and currently have 3 foster dogs as well. I have experience in obedience training, so if your dog pulls, had issue on leash or other behavioral issues dont let that stop you from reaching out. I have a very "difficult" dog of my own and am very experienced managing and working through unwanted behaviors. I have a soft spot for the trouble makers and difficult dogs, but I truly love working with all dogs. I work most days, so my availability is evenings and weekends. I can do drop ins, walks, and overnight stays any evening or weekend. I do need a few days and advance notice, because I have dogs at home too! I have a fenced yard, and foster frequently. All of my pets are indoors when I'm gone, and get freedom to roam in the back yard when I am home. Depending on the temperament of the fosters I have, I do have separate rooms for different dogs to ensure safety for all dogs incase some of the fosters do not get along. So I am very accustomed to special needs for aggressive or dogs that just do not play well with others!
