About: I've grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds and currently live with six dogs, turtles, lizards, and a fish! With a soft spot for dogs and cats, I know how to care for a range of animals and create a comfortable, fun environment. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve, whether it's playtime, cuddles, or simply making them feel at home. I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes and happy to adapt to any pet’s unique needs! I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m fully available throughout the week so I can offer flexible scheduling and ample attention for your pets. I’m committed to providing reliable, high-quality care on my available days, making sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. In my home, I make sure pets have a cozy, safe space where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide plenty of playtime, outdoor breaks, and cuddle sessions based on each pet's needs and personality. For pets in my clients' homes, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, ensuring consistent feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions. I bring patience, a warm approach, and am always attentive to each pet’s comfort and well-being, whether they’re with me or in the comfort of their own home.

About: I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and truly invested in your pet’s well-being. I follow instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My background has taught me the importance of consistency, observation, and communication — things that matter just as much in pet care as they do in any trusted role. Pet care fits into my routine because I’m organized, reliable, and intentional with my time. I only accept care requests when I know I can give pets my full attention. For daytime dog walking and drop-in visits, I care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including walk schedules, feeding instructions (if applicable), and any special notes you provide. During walks, I focus on safety, positive interaction, and your dog’s individual pace and needs. I make sure they get appropriate exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and attention. For drop-in visits, I check on their overall well-being, provide companionship, and ensure their environment is safe and secure before leaving. I’m attentive and observant during every visit, watching for any changes in behavior or needs, and I communicate clearly with updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: Hi, I'm Jerica! I live in Ozark, Missouri and run Earthbeet Farm with my partner. Prior to settling in Ozark, I moved around for a couple of years as a pet / house sitter domestically and internationally via Trusted Housesitters. I'd now like to open my home to your pets or enjoy getaway-sits. We have a large property along a creek and near the forest. We are flexible with sitting situations, animal needs, and schedules depending on the season. I am available for drop-ins, overnights or extended stays at the pet’s residence as well. We have a large property along a creek that does not have fencing, however we have a kennel and indoor living space. If we are sitting, it is best for a dog that likes to stay close by or not likely to run off. I am a tidy animal lover, and when sitting at someone’s residence, I treat their home and pets as I would treat my own.

About: I use to run a ranch full of all sorts of animals, and was basically the vet there as well as a horse trainer. I currently have 4 dogs and a cat . I love to see new animal friends and visit with them and see how happy they get when going for a walk or just throwing the ball. I'm athletic and go for mountain bike rides with my dogs and go on hikes as well, also am strong enough for those pups that like to pull. My favorite part of the day is being around my pets and family. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my child so it can be great to go for walks with pets and get outside. I will care for the pets by loving them and listening to the owners requests . My pets get treats sometimes and outdoor play everyday as well as walks ,weather permitting of course.when it's cold outside we tend to just snuggle up on the couch next to a fire.

About: I'm a huge animal lover and have been since I was little. I have two adult dogs of my own so I have plenty experience with taking care of pets. I've watched several friends and families pets before and have had no bad experiences or accidents. I've had my dogs since they were puppies so I do have some experience in leash training puppies as well as basic manner training(not certified). I am new to Rover so I don't have many reviews, so please give me a chance! I currently work a full-time job in Healthcare, so for drop in visit and dog walking, I'm available all day Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, and anytime after 3pm Monday, Friday, and Saturday. For boarding, I am available all week. I have help from my husband for potty breaks and stuff when he's home when I'm not. I have a large fully fenced in back yard. Plenty of room for fetching and running around. I have two dogs so if I do boarding, I require a meet and greet at my house so we can see if they are compatible. I always keep a close eye on dogs I'm watching, and if I need to leave, I always make sure the dogs are safe and secure in a large kennel, until I arrived back. And of course, the dogs will receive an abundance of cuddles and pets.

About: Ozark, Springfield, and Kimberling City Areas I work full time but enjoy spending afternoons, evenings, and weekends taking care of doggies! I have had a family dog for since I can remember. I recently took on my own dog after college and just added another to the family! I love getting the dogs out to run and play, we go to the park and open fields so they can be off the leash. I trained my Brittany when I first got him and he's done excellently. I love being able to play and cuddle with our boys. Charlie will go on runs with me, kayak, hike, paddleboard, you name it! They don't leave our side very often! I currently work full time 8-5 pm with an hour lunch break. I'm available most evenings and weekends. We do take the dogs along for many car rides and they will chill in the car for when we run errands to the store. We live along a golf course so there are plenty of places to walk and run. We do not have anything fenced in so we will occasionally go to a football field or baseball field so the boys can run where we can better watch them. Both our dogs are super sweet and play well with others. We have room to board your dog if you can bring their kennel for overnight stays.

About: From a young age I've always gravitated toward the unconditional love that an animal provides. Throughout my life, I've cared for miniature Yorkies all the way up to 90lb German Shepherd's. I’m currently a graduate student at Drury University so my schedule is flexible. Recently adopted a French bulldog and I'm looking forward to caring for yours! Your animal will have the peace and quiet of a house with only one other small French bulldog and no children. I would love to take your furry friend for a walk or relax at home.

About: Recently relocated to the area. I am a stay at home mom who loves all animals, usually go for walks or hikes daily. Love staying active and loves dogs so why not extend my hand to others! Please reach out if there is any way I can be of assistance to help with your pet while you're tending to other activities. Have many years of pet sitting and dog walking under my belt. Took some time off while pregnant and with my newborn and we moved but ready to meet some new fury friends.

I'm very active on the daily as well. So hikes or walks are always part of my day.
