“As always, Cayden is absolutely amazing with our animals. She regularly checks in with us, and I appreciate that she sends pictures throughout her stay. I never hesitate to book her when we need a house/pet sitter. My only worry is everyone will discover her and she’ll become too busy for us!”


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.”

I am currently not working anywhere else so am free any day anytime and if that were to change you will be the first to know 🙂 I currently have a Great Dane of my own who i saved from a abusive home she is definitely my baby and I know how hard it is having to leave them at home or trusting someone else with our furry family and I can't wait to share my love for animals with yours

“Michelle was very professional. I felt comfortable and confident to leave my 2 dogs in her care. She was flexible and considerate to our needs. The dogs were happy and exhausted upon our return!! Great Job!!”



“Sherri did an amazing job of taking care of our critters! She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on them as well. She brought her puppy along and everyone got along wonderfully! We will be booking Sherri again!”


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.

About: I’ve cared for dogs as small as 10 pounds since I was 10 years old. Three years ago I got a German Shepherd and trained her to be an AKC canine Good Citizen. Then did the same with our next German Shepherd who is on his way to 100 pounds. So I’m good with small and large dogs - I love them all! During the summers, my job really slows down so I can be with dogs most of the day! During the other seasons I can only be with the dogs in the morning and afternoon/evening. I have a fenced yard and love to play fetch and give dogs lots of exercise. I also enjoy running or walking with the dogs.

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 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!
