About: I have grown up with a variety of pets and have come to consider them all a part of the family. From Geckos to Hermits, Fish to Frogs, and Cats to Dogs, I've housed a variety and have loved them all to the core! I am particularly familiar with Medium sized dogs, but I am no stranger to the big, the bad, or the snugly. For cats, I can be a bit squeamish when it comes to litter, but that is nothing a mask or a nose clip won't fix! As a full time college student, online classes allow my schedule to be very flexible. My grades are important, but nothing motivates me more than a happy pet and a satisfied customer! As someone who understands that home is a place to escape the daily riff raff, I am willing to keep visits as quick and simple as possible or as long and engaging as preferred. A meet and greet is encouraged so I can better understand the needs of your pet and so that the pet and I can become familiar.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and even horses since I was eight years old. Growing up in a family that always had pets, I developed a deep love and understanding of animals. Our dogs joined us on lake trips, canoe adventures, and hikes—because pets are family. I use gentle, positive obedience techniques to ensure dogs are a pleasure to walk on a leash, making every outing safe and enjoyable. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that keeps tails wagging and owners worry-free. I teach English and reading online in the mornings and am available weekdays starting at 11:00 AM to enjoy the outdoors with your furry friends. On Sundays, I’m available from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Currently, I'm not offering in-home pet care, but I plan to add this service soon. As soon as I add this service, I will update my profile.

About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.

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 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: I have taken care of senior dogs who are no longer themselves, dementia, potty issues, etc. I have taken care of kittens and puppies less than a week old as well ! I have an open schedule so most times of the day work for me. I would prefer nights or overnight sitting. It is very rewarding. I can easily defuse situations that aren’t going as planned. If crate training is something you do that’s no problem! I grew up around crate training and keeping your pet safe is my top priority!

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.

Breelyn was my walker for 9 months before I moved away. There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing she is. She saved me on countless situations and would always send cute photos of my dog along with updates on what they did each day. I cannot recommend her enough. Just make sure to reach out early enough because lots of people know how great she is so her schedule fills up quick!

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’ve had my high maintenance dog for five years now and have pet sat for many of my friends/family in the past. I’m a fan of all animals, big and small! I’d love to take your dog on a walk or spend some enrichment time with your cat. I currently commute to work from Republic to Ozark, so drop in visits and walks work great for me! I have a very flexible schedule. I’m all about reading body language and never want to make any animal uncomfortable! I can work with many different types of care for animals. I have experience with reactive dogs and I want to make your pet happy, comfortable, and relaxed.

About: I’ve grew up around dogs because I’m always been allergic to cats. I’ve always went on walks and took my dogs to the park to play. I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time for your furry friends! I will be starting work within the next few months but my schedule is pretty free right now. I have a big back yard that my dogs love to play in! I feed them, play with them, take them outside, and give them baths.

About: I have been a huge animal lover my whole life. When I was 4 years old I got my first cat (it just showed up) and she had kittens shortly after. I also grew up with labradors, golden retrievers, and currently we have a german shepherd we adopted from the Humane Society almost two years ago. I have practice in giving medication to both cats and dogs orally as well as topically. I am currently unemployed and only work for doordash about 20-25 hours a week so I have open availability because I can choose when to work. I have a fenced yard with one friendly dog and an unfenced field of about 5 acres. I can keep them separated if that is a worry.

About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.
