I can't say enough about how awesome Elijah is. He did a meet and greet first and foremost, took notes regarding my preferences, and interacted with Merlin to get him comfortable. Elijah has excellent communication skills and keeps me in the know during each drop in. He has provided me with multiple pictures and a thorough summary. I feel 100% comfortable using his services and Merlin adores him! Honestly, I wish I had found him sooner! I'm truly grateful to have someone like Elijah look after my furbaby. If you're looking for someone to help out with your animals, you absolutely, 100%, need to contact Elijah.

Carolyn is absolutely wonderful. She was prompt in her responses, shows up on time, and very sweet! My dogs love their mid-day visits with her and I’m so happy when I see the pictures and reports each day! Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!

This is the second time we've had Breelyn watch our kitties and she was incredible once again! Plenty of pictures each visit of them being very well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I have groomed my dogs since I was 12 years old. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to my oldest at 16 years old. I have taken care of others dogs and like to send update photos on how things are going for ease of mind. I have puppy potty trained, crate trained, as well trained on basic commands. I am currently working from home which allows me ample time to keep an eye on your dog and take care of their needs. I am available on weekends for boarding. I have a large fenced in yard and 3 friendly dogs that can keep your dog or dogs company. I can also crate as needed.

Taylor was great with my babies, I’m definitely a worrier and hate leaving my dogs but it was definitely a relief to know they’re being well taken care of in the comfort of their own home. She was very patient and understanding with my girl Cleo who is terribly shy and can be wary of strangers. We had a couple meet and greets ahead of time and she really went out of her way to accommodate my girl. My first time using a pet sitter that wasn’t a personal friend who knows my dogs well and any worry I had was squashed very quickly. The constant updates definitely put me at ease as much as possible when I’m away from my kids. Even brought in some auto ship Chewy packages that happened to be timed for the days we were away. Being able to avoid a boarding facility for my babies was great since my nervous girl tends to not trust strangers when it comes to bathroom breaks, and I worried she wouldn’t eat in a facility due to stress. Not to mention being able to see my dogs as soon as we got back from our trip is the best. Would definitely recommend and use her in the future.

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: 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.

Cynthia was great. She kept my dogs for 1 month and I got regular updates on how they were doing. It was cheaper than Petsmart and the dogs seemed less tramatized by the stay.

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!
