“Deserae was absolutely amazing! Daisy had the best time and was so well cared for. We were offered a time to meet with the family before our appointed boarding just to make sure. She has a wonderful set up with plenty of room for dogs to run around. We got plenty of pictures during her stay. Communication is prompt and I would highly recommend her for boarding your dog.”
“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 :)”
“Amanda and her family were wonderful! She took our pups for a last minute booking and treated them like family. We got lots of photos from the night. I would highly recommend them for their care and love towards our babies! 🤍”
“Ashleigh did great with my 2 weenie babies. She has a fenced in, safe yard. She text and sent photos everyday and was very accommodating to their needs. Definitely recommend her services!!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My six-year-old Aussiedoodle stayed with Dylan for a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, I could tell Dylan truly loves dogs. He was attentive, communicative, and made sure my pup felt right at home. I received regular updates and photos, and it was clear my dog was having a great time—happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’d absolutely trust him again for future stays. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Brooke. She took amazing care of our dog, sent us updates, and made us feel at ease while we were away. Our pup came home happy and relaxed, which means a lot to us. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Emily and her family did an outstanding job watching our Sophie. We received photos and updates on how things were going all through our trip, which we loved. We will definitely be using Emily’s service's again. She is very kind and easy to work with. We recommend you contact emily to watch your pet.”
“Bogey and Birdie made themselves right at home at Gretchen’s. We can tell they got lots of TLC from her entire family. Communication was great and we received fun pictures and updates.”
“Mallory, you were more than I expected. She is so kind, took such wonderful care of my shy guy, Lenny. She loves your furry babies like her own, and her kiddos are wonderful at helping. They all just loved Lenny and were so understanding and patient with him. He's prone to hiding in new places, she was able to get him out safely. She helped me with some tips and told me about an awesome product for worms and other pests that works, I was and still am so grateful. She is quick to respond, has a very calm and sweet personality. I read several reviews before I decided, and all of them were right. I will be returning and Lenny came home happy, feeling good and cared for. Thank you Mallory, and tell your littles I said thank you! You are definitely someone I will continue to trust with my fur babies safely and happiness. Lenny says hi and he misses you guys! :)”
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: Animals are just as important as humans!! I love all animals and will treats them all as my own!! Lots of love, and playtime here! Can’t wait to tak care of your babies! I am a stay at home mom and I am home most of the time everyday!! It works perfectly for me and your babies will be well taken care of! I have a fenced in back yard, I have 1 dog and a baby. Potty breaks often and playtime throughout the day! My dog would love a new friend!
“Ashley was just absolutely amazing! If I could give her 10 stars, I 100% would! She really went above and beyond taking care of our girl! We really enjoyed the consistent check-ins and pictures and appreciate the extra time she took to let us know how Harley was doing while we were away! I was so thrilled that she actually seemed to take the time to get to know our fur baby and treated her like one of her own! This was our first time boarding Harley, but Ashley made it so smooth and stress-free! Would definitely recommend and will be booking with her again in the future!”
“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”
“Kim was AMAZING! She took care of our dog Peppers in her home for several days and sent daily pictures and updates, which we SO appreciated! She was also very flexible and accommodating with our schedule as we were traveling. Our dog enjoyed playing with her dog and seemed to have a very fun time with personal attention while he was there. He came home very happy and tired! When my husband picked up our dog she had packed his things nicely and even gave us a treat bag and card. We are so thankful to have found her and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Our fur baby Goldie had a great time with Emilyn and her husband! We went to SDC for the Christmas lights and she was able to accommodate us on short notice. We appreciated her updates and pictures. If we are ever in Nixa again we will definitely contact her! Thanks Emilyn!”
“Nella was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. You can tell she cares a lot for the dogs she is entrusted with. Thank you Nella! Will definitely book again.”
“Mikala was amazing and anytime I need an overnight sitter she is the first person I will call on. My Gypsy was so taken care of over the thanksgiving holiday. I received regular pictures and updates with a smiling puppy with her new friends. A special thanks to Mikala and her husband for helping me with our puppy drop off as I was hospitalized a few hours after our meet and greet and wasn’t able to meet personally. That meant so much to me that these sweet people went out of their way to help me. I would absolutely recommend Mikala for any service with Rover. The apitamy of a puppy mom and no doubt your fur babies will be in good hands with Mikala.”

“Olivia watched over our fur baby with the utmost care and diligence! Her reports were thorough, and her communication was spectacular. This was the longest my husband and I had left our cat, and we were nervous about it. Olivia put our minds to ease because of her open communication and frequent updates. We knew our boy was getting the best care possible, so we could truly relax and enjoy our trip. She truly went above and beyond, not just keeping our cat happy and healthy, but Olivia also took care of our home and kept it tidy and clean. I cannot recommend her enough! She truly cares about the pets she watches, and she is just a genuinely kind and dedicated person. You will not be disappointed by booking with her!”

About: I volunteered at CARE which is a no kill pet shelter for cats and dogs in 2014 and recently started volunteering at this place again, February 2018. My duties included feeding and making sure the animals had enough water. Cleaned out kennels and cages and would take the dogs outside and walk them. I have had dogs and cats since I was born and currently had a dog who loved being around other cats and dogs. She loved to play with animals as well and loved children. Her name was Daisy she is in my profile pic with me. Daisy was euthanized on September 1st, 2023. I now have another dog whose name is Emma. She’s a year old and as long as it’s ok with a client I bring her to pet sitting jobs. She loves other animals including cats and loves to play. She’s lovable and affectionate and loves attention. I also have a cat and her name is Maizy. She is four years old and I got her when she was almost 4 weeks old. I would take Daisy for walks and if I could take her with me to other places I did. One of the places I took her was to the pet store. I no longer wear a mask unless I have to. If you prefer for me to wear one please let me know and I will wear one. I use to work at a job which required me to work a 10 hour shift. I am now working at a full time job which has 8 hour shifts. I can work around my schedule if needed. My supervisor does work with me on switching my days around if needed. I can’t keep your pet in my apartment due to rules and restrictions but I can come to your home. I will provide my own food and necessities.

Could definitely do morning and evening care. I have some flexibility with work, so depending on your needs, we can definitely work something out in between that! I believe in maintaining structure (yes, even for dogs). They do better when they know what to expect too. I will do my best to learn your routine, their quirks, and make them as comfortable as possible and maintain your routine as I do with my own dog!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid who lived on a little farm. My experience ranges from birds, ferrets, reptiles, & cats, dogs. Animal care has always been something I’m passionate about. I know how important my animals are to me and so I will take the best care of yours while you’re away.

During the summer my availability will be wide open! My pets are treated like a member of the family. I think that animals in our care should be shown love and grace because we chose to take care of them.

“I booked Nancy for daycare so I could have a Mom’s day out. Nancy did an amazing job with my German Shepherd, Otto. Otto was new to socializing with other dogs and she was so patient and allowed him to interact with her sweet little dog, Bailey. She gave Otto lots of attention and walks and sent picture updates to me. Her love of animals shines through. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up.

I’m so grateful to have found Nancy and highly recommend her to give your dog the TLC he/shedeserves and peace of mind you need when leaving your fur baby.”

About: I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m home throughout the day, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and daily walks. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any house rules you use at home. My goal is to make their stay feel comfortable, safe, and as much like home as possible! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. We have a fenced yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and I can provide at least one walk each day along with plenty of playtime and attention. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be nerve-racking, especially the first time, so I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout their stay. ❤️ Every dog is different, and I’m happy to learn their routine, personality, favorite things, and little quirks so they can feel right at home while they’re here. I have a fenced yard and will play in the yard with them. I will do prioritize comfort and brain stimulation by allowing for a lot of playtime and walks if your dog allows.

I have a large, fenced yard and a dog door in and out of the house with the option to close-off if necessary. I have one dog who loves new friends and sharing her toys.
About: I've taken care of my Chihuahua for 17 years. I also took dog training for a while. I'm super caring and love all animals. I will gladly watch your pet! I currently work remotely, full time so I will be able to take your pet out as much as they need. I am home most of the day. I live in a house with a nice fenced in backyard. My Australian Shepherd, Elsa loves to play fetch outdoors, while my Chihuahua tans in the sun.
About: I have experience caring for senior dogs, providing end-of-life care, and administering medications. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, and I understand the extra patience, compassion, and care that older or medically complex pets may require. I’m also comfortable providing loving, attentive care to pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to giving your pets lots of love, attention, and playtime! I’m happy to work with different routines and schedules and will always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether your pet needs a buddy for a walk, someone to keep them company during the day, or some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they get the care and attention they deserve! 🐶🐱🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines, pay close attention to their individual needs and behaviors, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise. I’m respectful of your home and your space, and I’ll always treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment while you’re away! 🐾

“Deserae was absolutely amazing! Daisy had the best time and was so well cared for. We were offered a time to meet with the family before our appointed boarding just to make sure. She has a wonderful set up with plenty of room for dogs to run around. We got plenty of pictures during her stay. Communication is prompt and I would highly recommend her for boarding your dog.”
“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 :)”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My six-year-old Aussiedoodle stayed with Dylan for a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, I could tell Dylan truly loves dogs. He was attentive, communicative, and made sure my pup felt right at home. I received regular updates and photos, and it was clear my dog was having a great time—happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’d absolutely trust him again for future stays. Highly recommend!”
“Mallory, you were more than I expected. She is so kind, took such wonderful care of my shy guy, Lenny. She loves your furry babies like her own, and her kiddos are wonderful at helping. They all just loved Lenny and were so understanding and patient with him. He's prone to hiding in new places, she was able to get him out safely. She helped me with some tips and told me about an awesome product for worms and other pests that works, I was and still am so grateful. She is quick to respond, has a very calm and sweet personality. I read several reviews before I decided, and all of them were right. I will be returning and Lenny came home happy, feeling good and cared for. Thank you Mallory, and tell your littles I said thank you! You are definitely someone I will continue to trust with my fur babies safely and happiness. Lenny says hi and he misses you guys! :)”
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.

“Nella was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. You can tell she cares a lot for the dogs she is entrusted with. Thank you Nella! Will definitely book again.”
“Mikala was amazing and anytime I need an overnight sitter she is the first person I will call on. My Gypsy was so taken care of over the thanksgiving holiday. I received regular pictures and updates with a smiling puppy with her new friends. A special thanks to Mikala and her husband for helping me with our puppy drop off as I was hospitalized a few hours after our meet and greet and wasn’t able to meet personally. That meant so much to me that these sweet people went out of their way to help me. I would absolutely recommend Mikala for any service with Rover. The apitamy of a puppy mom and no doubt your fur babies will be in good hands with Mikala.”
“Anne went above and beyond assisting me. She was able to take my fur babies at the last minute. She even went and picked them up herself and took them to her house. They received lots of love and even got to sleep on the sofa. Thank you, Anne.”
“Our dog had a great time playing with Megan’s dogs and staying with her. When we came to pick him up, he didn’t even want to leave! She was sensitive to the fact that he is older and took good care of him. We are thankful to find her and her husband!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have owned and trained animals professionally for 7 years. I would love to take care of yours! I work from home on my farm, Longhorn Arena. Meaning I am with the animals 24/7. I ride and train horses professionally and run a rodeo arena. I live on property and have the perfect set up to care for your furry friends. I have 4 friendly dogs on property, and the set up to crate several dogs if necessary. The arena is set on 30 acres of pasture land. So they can sniff and explore to their hearts content, including running in the fenced arenas, as well as miles of walkable roads surrounding us. We are off a state highway so safety is my biggest priority.
About: I have taken care of pets for over 33 years ever since getting my first dog at 7 years old. I’ve had dogs of all sizes and shapes including a Lhasa Apso, King Charles Spaniel, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull, Shihpoo, and Heeler/Daschund mix. They’ve ranged in ages from 8 week old puppy to 5 year old rescue when I brought them home and I nursed many through their senior years. Of course I love all pets so I’ve also had Bunnies, Fish, Cats, hermit crabs, frogs, and more. I love them all! Currently in my home I have a 1 year old Shihpoo name Mocha and a 5 year old Heeler/Dauschund mix named Luna. I promise to take care of your fur babies just as if they were mine! I am a single mother with lots of time on my hands to love on pets. I have a daughter in Junior High and a son in High School so I do run them back and forth to their activities but otherwise I’m ready to spend time with the fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a couple big trees for shade while pets are playing outdoors and a covered back porch for relaxing.
“Jackie & Micheal have become family to my pup & I. They have provided extended care to my girl when I was called upon to help my family in another state. My girl has been adopted by their entire family, and getting her home will be a challenge.”

I do have pets in the home to help keep your fur baby company. I will walk and play with your fur baby to endure to keep your fur baby busy.
“This is my second booking with Nicholas. My dog has had a great time spending time with him and his dogs. It’s a giant plus that he has a big fenced yard for Moose and his own dogs to get some exercise off leash I’m thankful for Nicholas and his kindness, care and keeping Moose entertained. Great experience for sure!”
