“Deserae is the best! We've left our standard poodle at a commercial kennel before and didn't have the best luck. We felt so at ease with the environment and control Deserae had over our pup. He had soooo much fun playing with the other dogs and her loving family while we took a long vacation. She sent us picture and text updates and was awesome to work with. I didn't worry at all and will definitely bring him back to stay with Desarae again!”
“We decided to stay over another day, Kind of a spontaneous decision, And of course we didn't have accommodations for our pets. So, we began calling around, also leaving messages through The Rover app, and asking different boarding availabilitys about having last minute booking. Not too many people responded. Janet, though, to my surprise, responded with a rapid message. I was surprised becaus in her brief bio and what some of her preferences were of clients, like a 7-Day meet and greet I was thinking like" she's she's definitely got her ways and she's not going to call me back !" Boom!! We had a booked appointment and our pets at our place, she was a little busy when we first contacted her which had a 1-hour delay which was fine, not too longer than an hour and a half after we contacted her. And she lives in West Branson not Springfield,BTW. SUPER KIND BIG HEART!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“If you are ever needing a dog sitter in Branson, I unreservedly recommend Jason (and his wife)! Daily updates, lots of activity, followed Addie’s routine. For a first timer, who was very fearful of leaving my beloved girl, this was a wonderful experience. And made my stay in Branson so much better knowing my dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“The night before we arriving in Branson our other dog sitting fell through and Sarah rescued us by taking our last minute booking. She took great care of our two boys! She was very communicative and kept us updated on how they were doing, complete with pictures. She is very conveniently located if doing tourist activities in Branson. We would definitely use her again the next time we are in the area.”
“Oreo had a wonderful 10 days with Clarence. He shared daily updates with videos and voiceover which was amazing. Highly recommended and would love to leave Oreo again some time.”
“She was awesome! Made sure he took his Juice Plus each morning. Sent me pictures everyday of my Pom. Which I enjoy tons! Beau seemed to have liked it there. Would def recommend. Beau will be back.”
“This is the second time we have used Emily for our little one. She did a great job. Molly comes home like nothing has happened. That is a good thing. She usually gets back and is sick or sore after being boarded with our local boarder-I think they leave her in a cage most of the time. We will only use Rover and their caregivers from now on. Emily has been great for Molly!”
“Our Benny had a wonderful time at Kelly's house, she was quick to respond when we sent out the request and easy to communicate with during his entire stay. We loved the photos and updates that we received of Benny and he got on really well with their dog Yogi. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our baby boy, we'll be back again when we're in town.”
“Rebecca is AMAZING!!!!! My two dogs are in love with her attention to detail towards ALL their needs!!! We will definitely use her and only her from now on!!! It is a blessing to find great humans with Big hearts to care for your babies!!!! Thank you Lord for Rebecca’s gift of truly caring for our dogs!”
“We left our dog here for the weekend with Laura and Nash and Laura sent us videos and pictures the entire time! Ozzy had a great time and is pooped from playing all weekend. She even brushed him before we picked him up, which was super nice! Will definitely use Laura again :)”
“Courtney, Keith, and their awesome pups were amazing when it came to leaving my pup in their care. They provided timely updates and many photos. Very much recommend using their services!!!”
“Tovah sent us pictures and updates about our goldendoodle daily. She had many helpful hints as to why she had certain behaviors and how to correct them. If ever in the Branson area again I will definitely book Tovah.”
“Todd was super. Bella loved his home and yard where she could safely fully run at high speed. He let her sleep in bed with him! We conversed daily on how she was doing and he sent a video showing her fun with the other dogs. Just wish they lived closer to me so I could hire them on a regular basis.”
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.
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. 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. My schedule varies but I usually work anywhere from 11am to midnight, depending on my shift that day. I am a bartender/server. I am beyond flexible for you and your furry kids, I do have the option to request off at least a week ahead so I can make time for your babies. 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’ve grown up around dogs and cats and currently have 2 wonderful dogs that are very dog friendly. We have 2 acres for the dogs to roam I am a full time realtor and I write my own schedule. I can be flexible to your needs. I am open to various routines for multiple animals. I keep a very watchful eye on our animals as they share a space with our 4 daughters who also love animals. Our property is mostly fenced in and we are in a rural area.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shell Knob home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Shell Knob.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Shell Knob sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
