“Stephanie is simply wonderful! She watched my elderly dog named Cosmo for 2 days on short notice, when he had just started on meds and he had limited mobility. In just a few days with her support and making sure he received his medications, he had much improved. She watched Cosmo like he was her own and shared updates all through the day including pictures. It was as if I had never left him. I feel Cosmo and I were truly blessed by her kindness. I highly recommend Stephanie to watch your fur baby. They would be loved and cared for like their owner would, if not better.”
“Teigan did an amazing job watching my three German shepherds. They had an amazing time and continue to wag their tails at the sight of Teigan. Definitely recommend and will be booking again”
“Shania took great care of my dog while I was away for a few days. She was kind and easy to communicate with, and my dog seemed very happy and relaxed when I got back. I could tell she really loves animals and treated my dog like her own. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Crystal was absolutely wonderful and amazing while taking care of my dad's dog for three days always kept me posted with messages and photos on how Jackie's day was and how she was enjoying her time with rose I would highly recommend her to watch my dogs or any other dog without a doubt in my mind.”
“This was my second time using Aisha as a sitter, “Bay-Bay” was so excited to see her again. Aisha even sent a photo to show me her comfortably passed out after playing with her fur friends. Will continue to book with Aisha in the future whenever she is available. First choice, every time.”
“We are repeat customers of Chelsea and can’t recommend her enough! I never worry about my dog when he’s there because I know he is well loved. I also know he loves going because he gets to play a lot. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.
“Steven and Karin did a great job with my dog. They gave him lots of love and sent lots of pictures/updates. My pup had lots of fun. Their dog was super nice and was a great friend for my pup. They took any of my worries very seriously and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and my boy had a good experience. I will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Christopher did a great job taking care of my dog. She had a great time, got lots of walks and attention, and had other dogs to make friends with during her stay. If I ever need boarding for her again, I know who to go with.”
“Our doggo is skittish and wary of absolutely everyone, but by the end of her two-night stay with Chloe, (less than 36 hours!) she was incredibly comfortable. I can't express what high praise this is coming from our dog! Any pupper would be lucky to stay with Chloe! We are so grateful we found her!”
“Donovan was very accommodating and understanding with our pit bull! His place was very clean and seemed like a safe place for our boy. We were even running behind on our pickup time and he was very understanding and flexible. As well as sending us photo updates. Will be using him again in the future :)”
“Nina was amazing. Tucker had a lot of fun with her. I’m sure he enjoyed a lot playing with her big and sweet dogs. She sent me pictures and was very responsive. And besides that he got home worn out, meaning that he burned a lot of his energy.”
“Layne watched my Tyler (cat) for several evenings and provided daily pictures/updates on how he was doing!! She was friendly and professional and made the entire process very easy. Glad Tyler had a good place to stay!!! I would definitely recommend.”
“Samantha was wonderful and my fur babes loved staying with her. She was able to keep all 3 of my boys together which helped tremendously! We will definitely be using her again. I highly recommend her!”
“Ashley took great care of my two dogs at her kennel. The only thing I would mention is that I had assumed she was watching them at her house when I booked her, but it was really where she is a groomer, so the dogs were kept in a kennel except during play & potty breaks. There were several other animals there. You could tell Ashley loves animals & they did great in her care.”

About: I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic for 7 years and have lived with animals my entire life. I work with cats indoors and/or outdoors. All ages are accepted. I have experience in grooming/bathing, administering oral and injection medications, and wound care/bandaging. I have a part-time job but I make sure your pets take priority.
About: I have cared for and had pups and cats since I started elementary school, but I picked up the bigger responsibilities with caring for critters around age 15. I have three labs, (ages four, three and two), one cat and a fish. My two females have each had a healthy litter of ten puppies that I cared and found homes for! I am very attentive to my animals and their needs and even more so to other creatures. I currently work as a dog groomer and boarding technician which has given me knowledge on many different temperaments of pups and techniques on how to uniquely tend to them while having safety and care as top priority. Caring for my animals is weaved into my daily routine. I wake up early enough to tend to my pups before my kids wake up to ensure everyone’s needed are met. Depending on the weather we typically have afternoon playtimes or walkies or we will have some water play to end a hot day. Checking water/feed, refreshing water and feed, bath and brushing, and administering medications are all just a part our normal routine list at home for our critters. for in-home visits I am prepared to accompany your animal in any weather and follow through with what your pet is accustomed to. The comfort and safety of your animal is most important. I have emergency numbers for vets and contacts to assist me in an emergency situation (choking, wound, any current illnesses like seizures, etc). Saying that I am NOT a licensed veterinarian.
About: I am a cat owner myself who took in a kitten when he was about 7 weeks old and raised him myself. He’s now 7 years old living his healthiest and best life! I understand each cat has its own boundaries and personality that I will respect and easily adapt to. I am the go to pet sitter with my family since they know I will take great care of them and genuinely love caring for them! He’s been on medication a few times giving me experience in administering meds!
“Makayla is always very responsive and has been flexible with me when times have changed. She’s wonderful about sending Biden’s or photos to let me see Fiadh is being loved while I’m away. Thank you 🙏”

“Stephanie and her family were absolutely wonderful. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day, took my pup on a long walk, and spent lots of time playing with him. From the photos, it was clear he was having an amazing time and was very well cared for. I would 100% recommend Stephanie and will happily book with her again. Thank you so much, Stephanie!”
“My boy is so excited to go in Teagan‘s house he nearly pulls my arm off! I love that he’s in a home environment and not at a daycare where he’s crated with short play breaks. He has so much fun with the other dogs. Teigan’s flexible hours really help me out.”
“Copper enjoyed his time with Megan! This was his first visit and he loved it! We would rebook with Megan in a heartbeat. She communicated very well and gave us great info on his stay.”
“Julie and Jensen were so very kind and effective for our puppy’s first sleepover. We will be back for many times to come. Thank you for having a safe, cozy place for him. And the pictures were a nice touch! I highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs all my life but have been dog sitting since I was 16 years old for neighbors, family and friends. Me and my wife have a home in Joplin missouri with a huge privacy fenced back yard. Rest assured your pets will have plenty of space for play and relaxing. I am photographer and a stay at home dad! This gives me the opportunity to be home all day for plenty of play and potty breaks. Our son is one year old but is never unsupervised around any pets. Our fenced in yard is very spacious and we have gated areas in our home to separate dogs from each other if needed. We have two dogs of our own Argyle & Daisy who are very friendly and love to play. They are also kept up to date on all vaccinations and are treated for fleas using Seresto collars. We do not have any issues with bugs of any kind and are a non smoking home. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in our home and have comfy spaces everywhere. Be prepared for plenty of update pictures! We do not use pesticides or weed killer of any kind and our yard is kept chemical free. We also keep water indoors to prevent bacteria from building up. We refresh water as needed.
About: I have personally walked miles and miles with my own, very energetic Weimer. I had Cooper (my Weimer) for 14 years and we walked literally every single day, rain, snow, cold etc. We now have our 2nd Weimer and back at it again; love the exercise they provide for us!! I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 6 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on great summer days
About: I work with all ages of dogs! From newborn puppies to seniors! I am also a groomer at my home! Dogs have been my life since I was 6 years old! I have been a stay at home mom for 10 years now! I am home all day to play with puppies and give your pooch lots of lovings! I have a brand new boarding area in my home!!! I have two different play yards that are specifically for our boarders! All boarders play outside during the day (on nice days) and come in for nap time and bed time!
