Personalized care for your dog or cat - Garrison
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Garrison
“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.”
“Michelle was so incredible with our pup! This was our first time using Rover and she put me at ease almost immediately when I dropped him off. She kept me updated throughout the day and was extremely responsive through texts. We are so grateful!”
“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!”
“Tovah did awesome job with Mr Wiggins. She sent pictures of him while I was gone. He was glad to see me but I could tell he had been treated good. When I have to leave again she is definitely the one to use. And I will recommend Rover as a good place to call.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Emma was fantastic with our pups! She sent us lots of “pupdates” with pics. Took the girls on several walks, on outings to the park and even tried to teach them tricks. She went above and beyond with everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time Rover experience.”
“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!!!”
“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.”
About: I have cared for pets all my life. I have always had a dog or 2 in my house that are spoiled and had me well trained. I owned a dog boarding, daycare, and grooming business in Ozark for 8 years.. I retired about four years ago. Since I am retired, I am home most of the day, except for a few errands to run occasionally. I live alone with two senior dogs who get along with most other animals. There are no children in the house. My home is all one level, with a fully fenced backyard. Fur babies cared for in my home have free run of the house, are allowed to be on the furniture, (unless the owner request differently). I am capable of crating your loved one if they are already crate trained… Your fur babies will get lots of love and ear scratches. I’m experienced in various diets and food prep along with medication’s, including injections.
About: I love taking care of animals! I have a cat, 2 Australian Shepherds, and I raise sheep for shows) Please reach out with any needs! I work throughout the week so weekends are best! I can also pop in early mornings or in the evenings anytime after 5 pm ! If you crate your dog, I have no problem with that. I have crate trained both of my dogs! If your pet is dog friendly and up to date on shots, my mini Australian shepherds love a good play date. We love going on long walks or trips to the creek!
“Janie was an amazing dog sitter! Professional and very caring… Attentive to details… Our two puppies were in good hands. We were able to rest easy on our trip. Janie updated us with cute photos of the puppies as they enjoyed their visit with her and her own puppy hostess Maui. When we picked them up it was clear our puppies have been well cared for and loved. We would highly recommend Janie to every pet owner!”
“Olivia was the most welcoming boarder! My dog even had a hard time saying bye to her. She provided photos and messages on a semi daily basis and was available for any inquiries I had. I will definitely book Olivia for our next boarding need.”
“Kaitlin made the entire experience comfortable and fun. She is great with dogs and made sure they were outside a lot and got to play. I had two of my dogs with her 4 days and the communication made it worry free.”
“Raelynn was the sweetest and took excellent care of our two senior rottweilers. We were sent an update daily along with pics and could tell they were having a good time with her. Would recommend again and again!”

About: I’m a stay at home mom who manages our small hobby farm. I have ten years of hands-on animal care and I have been around many dogs in that time. I am very active and love to be outside, rain or shine. I have a 6 year old mix we rescued from a shelter I volunteer at locally. We got her when she was just a year old and struggling to acclimate. She’s our little couch potato and will snuggle anyone. She is the most kind and gentle momma. I have experience with high energy and high anxiety dogs. No dog is too big or too small for me. I also have experience giving dogs medication and feeding on schedules. I like to go above and beyond to ensure your pets get treated like mine would. I work from home managing our small hobby farm. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible most days! I am up at 6 am with the sun and available. I respect your home and your animal just as I would my own. I know it can be stressful having someone in your home and around your pets so I communicate a lot! My home has a large 6 ft. fenced in yard and beyond that is our fields. The farm is separate from the home and yard area and your pet will never go up to the farm.
About: I have been the sole caretaker of my cats since i was about 6-7. Which includes picking up after them, feeding, changing litter boxes, and enrichment! I have taken care of cats as little as a few weeks old, bottle feeding and encouraging them to go potty by hand!
“Katelyn did such an amazing job caring for our shy kitties. She had to hunt them down for a picture and managed to find them and give us peace of mind they were ok. She did other tasks that were not in her job description such as bringing in our mail and packages while we were on vacation without even asking her! She even left a little care package for the kitties. 10/10 would use again!”
“We were so so nervous to leave our cats with someone other than family, but with our oldest cat being diagnosed with diabetes, we knew we wanted to trust a professional. Bree went above and beyond with our kitties! She did shots daily for us and made sure to provide pictures and updates about all 3 of them. Absolutely will rebook with her every time 🩷”
“KJ was great with my two cats. One of them receives medication daily and she had no problem making sure he got it. She gave them both love and sent me pictures every time she visited. I really appreciate the care she took with them and would use her the next time I need a sitter.”
“Regina was lovely. She is very responsive to messages (very quickly), friendly, sent multiple updates throughout the day, and most importantly took great care of our kittens and home while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve spent a lot of time taking care of cats, and I’ve gotten really comfortable with all the day-to-day things they need. I handle feeding, litter box cleaning, and basic grooming, and I’m good at noticing changes in their behavior. Whether it’s playtime or just hanging out and giving them a calm space, I really enjoy making sure they’re well cared for.
About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and birds since I was a teenager. I love them all and will go the extra mile to care for them. I will walk them, play with them, bathe them, and feed them. I'm available 7 days a week, but will only care for one families pets at a time, so first come first served. I take last minute same day requests. I will watch your pets in my home or yours. I don't have any of my own pets right now so yours will get all of my attention and care.
About: I treat every cat with patience and respect for their unique personality. I’m comfortable with shy cats, seniors who need medication or extra care, and keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I provide gentle attention, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and send regular updates so you always feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have had years of experience with cats. Some of my own when I was younger and some that I have cared for through friends and family. I understand that cats can be particular about their environment and need someone who is mindful of their preferences.
About: I’m very intuitive with animals and quickly understand their routines and needs. I carefully follow care instructions and focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I enjoy building trust and giving each pet personalized care.
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.
About: I’m a dedicated cat lover with three kitties of my own, so I truly understand all the little quirks that make each cat unique, from playful zoomies to quiet, independent vibes. I have hands on experience with medication administration, post-surgical care, and even bottle feeding kittens, which has taught me a lot of patience, gentleness, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable keeping litter boxes fresh and creating a clean, cozy, low-stress environment your cat will feel safe in. I’ve also leash-walked cats for some safe outdoor exploring, so I’m open to working with both curious adventurers and homebody snugglers. I pay so much attention to each cat’s personality; I’ll match their energy, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them their space while still making sure they feel cared for and loved.
“Byron is an absolute gem. He took phenomenal care of our newfie and goldendoodle. He was also extremely helpful with a number of unexpected “surprises” (not all dog related) that occurred while we were gone. Overall, Byron’s care, effort and communication was above and beyond our expectations. You’d be crazy not to book him.”
About: I’ve own 3 cats in the past, Lana, Goochy and currently Milly. 2 of them were family cats but Milly is my own. I’ve adopted Milly from my sister because she liked me more. I’ve also personally saved my cat Milly’s life about 3 times. True story.

We received lot of pictures and videos of Spirit while he was at their home.It's great to leave your pet some where knowing that he is happy and this is the place==Thanks==Jason P S Spirit said I want to go back.”
“Michele is very kind, attentive, and so good with dogs. She is also a great at communicating. Gave us peace of mind. Her dog and our dog became instant friends. We will be using her services again in the near future.”
“Sarah and her husband were great! Super friendly and great with Hudson. I could tell during our meet and great she was the one! Thanks again Sarah and if we are back in the area we will be using your services!”
“Sydney is great! I needed a sitter for my new puppy while I’m at work while she gets adjusted, and Sydney has been amazing. Love that my dog gets a chance to socialize with new people, visit with some cats, and get tired out and sleep through the night. Sydney has been a great communicator and very easy to get ahold of, with lots of flexibility with my schedule. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Brooke was great to meet with Harper before her daycare stay and help her be at ease for her upcoming daycare visit. During her daycare stay, we received pictures and videos- no doubt Harper had an amazing time! We will definitely book again.”
“What an amazing pet sitter! Our dog, Rooster, got to spend a Friday with Emily and her family and then the following Monday got to spend another day. When we turned onto her street on Monday to drop him off, he got so excited! I would absolutely leave any pet with her! She loved and cared for him like he was her own!”
About: I have always had pets (dogs mostly) and love them! I will love your babies as if they were my own! I hope you pick me! I have recently retired and am looking for something gratifying to help other Dog owners with the care of their pet! I know how stressful it can be when you have to leave your pet for any length of time and would love to relieve that stress for you! 😊 I have a fenced in yard with a senior dog, Bella. She is such a great dog and is so aloof, like nothing bothers her! I am unable to board certain breeds due to home insurance restrictions and my senior dog so may not be able to accept every request, however, I haven’t turned one down yet!
“Cortney was very friendly, and she took great care of our two energetic dogs! Her place is clean and she was able to care for multiple dogs very well. She communicated well and promptly returned messages and also sent multiple pictures and a video. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”
“Ashley's simply the best. You know someone knows dogs well when the dogs are happy and excited to go visit her. I can't say enough about how much thought and care she puts into everything her and her family do to help others out and their fur babies.”
About: Hi pet parents! I’m Marci, and I’ve been house and pet sitting for over 12 years with excellent references available upon request. I grew up in Southern Missouri around a wide variety of animals, which gave me early hands-on experience with training and daily care. Professionally, I’ve worked in both exotic and domestic animal environments, including a zoo setting caring for livestock (such as alpacas, ponies, and young camels) and aviary birds, as well as a high-volume dog boarding/daycare facility in Phoenix, AZ where I worked with 150+ dogs daily. This gave me a strong understanding of dog behavior, group dynamics, and handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m confident with drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s routine exactly as needed—including feeding, exercise, medication, and companionship. I especially enjoy walks, enrichment, and positive reinforcement training for puppies and energetic dogs, always prioritizing safety, structure, and calm, happy behavior. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every home and pet with respect and care as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation and auto insurance for peace of mind. I currently live in Branson, Missouri and am a stay at home mom/photographer. My daughter is very gentle, calm, and accustomed to being around animals. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets (or home) and give you peace of mind while you’re away. My daily and weekly schedule is highly flexible and I am available for pet and home care nearly always. If for some reason I am I available my calendar should reflect that - or just ask because I might be available anyway. I am very mindful and cautious, especially when it comes to animals and children. In my home there are no small objects or sharp objects that could harm or be cause for choking hazards. I don’t feed your pet extra treats that aren’t approved by you, and I keep them safe by making sure doors are closed so they don’t run off.
“Mickayla was amazing with my dog. She was very accommodating to my drop off and pick up times, sent many photos of my dog having a fantastic time and was wonderful to communicate with. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Janie has looked after Maple a couple times now and has been amazing by keeping us updated and providing pic/videos during the visit. I would recommend to anyone needing a Dogsitter.”
“Ashleigh was great with our 2 doggies! We can tell she has a very tender heart for animals. She kept us informed all during their stay and even sent pictures. We highly recommend her! Jay & Carol M”
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.
“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. Nancy gave me detailed feedback about Otto’s day that was so helpful for me. 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.”
“I’m so happy I found Heather! This transition to Missouri will be more difficult without her. Chloe loved her immediately! I am more than pleased. I’m so thankful. ☺️”
“Super responsive, nice, and great place to drop your dogo off for the day. Sent updates all day. My puppy was tuckered out by the time I picked him up. Thank you Gretchen!”

About: As a pet parent and a small farmer as well, I believe quality pet care and farm help shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. I believe every pet and their needs are different even within their own family. I believe in honoring pet parents wishes and completing my jobs correctly to their specifications. I believe in paying attention to details and providing excellent customer service. You and your pets deserve a reliable, loving sitter and that is me. I believe enrichment (walks, play etc..) is essential to an animal's well being. I believe in treating your pet as family and loving who they are unconditionally. I have a degree in Zoology and have been working with animals professionally for 15 years. I have experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I also have experience with cats, birds, small rodents, fish, reptiles, amphibians and farm animals. Caring for your pets is my only job. I enjoy my job and I too am a pet parent so I know how important my job is. I pride myself on my reliability. I will care for your pet as instructed by you and I will treat them like family. I like doing in your home care as it reduces your pet’s stress.
“Regina has been incredible. As our dog’s first walker, she worked with a very anxious pup who struggled with other dogs, people, and even environmental stimuli like leaves. Since Regina began walking her, we’ve seen significant progress—our dog is now more confident, enjoys her walks, and is more comfortable sharing space with others. We truly appreciate Regina’s patience and consistency.”
“Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!”
About: I grew up with 3 dogs so I know what to do but will also listen to any special information that is given to me I’m currently employed . So I will be only available for the weekends to walk your dogs but I will also treat them with lots of love. I will be following to any information that is given to me. I will also be respectful in clients homes making sure to pick up/clean up anything.
“Breelyn was my walker for 9 months before I moved away. There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing she is. She saved me on countless situations and would always send cute photos of my dog along with updates on what they did each day. I cannot recommend her enough. Just make sure to reach out early enough because lots of people know how great she is so her schedule fills up quick!”
About: I’m very intuitive with animals and quickly understand their routines and needs. I carefully follow care instructions and focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I enjoy building trust and giving each pet personalized care. I love animals and taking care of loved family members. I am also just trying to get enough money to pay for the rest of my college tuition. With my cat, I feed him 1/2 of a can of soft cat food 2 times a day with a treat at the end of the night. My pickles doesn’t need much care, he is already a very independent cat. When it comes to others pets, I closely follow each owner’s instructions so their pet receives the exact care, attention, and routine they’re used to.

We can also crate your fur baby if needed or ours no problem.
About: I have taken care of senior dogs who are no longer themselves, dementia, potty issues, etc. I have taken care of kittens and puppies less than a week old as well ! I have an open schedule so most times of the day work for me. I would prefer nights or overnight sitting. It is very rewarding. I can easily defuse situations that aren’t going as planned. If crate training is something you do that’s no problem! I grew up around crate training and keeping your pet safe is my top priority!
About: I have taken care of every type of animal since I was 16 years old. I have gone to school for animal science as well to currently working on my degree as a veterinary technician and animal nutritionist. From puppies to geriatric dogs.

Distributing medication or even helping your dog do their daily exercise. I have knowledge and experience with previously working at the Emergency Veterinary Clinic. * Hi! Thank you for your interest in having me watch your loved ones while you plan to be away. In order to provide you with the most accurate information, please be sure to have the following before confirmation: - please make sure you have all information rover needs about your pet filled out. - Include all animals (even exotic) and feeding instructions for everyone. - Any medications or medical needs while you plan to be away. (Seizure, diabetic, etc). - Anything special that I may need to know. In order to maintain better scheduling, please note I plan to do a meet and greet up to two weeks in advance.* Please keep in mind while housesitting, I do have occasional drop in visits for other clients and try not to be gone for more than 4 hours at a time. If you are needing me to mainly stay in your home, I do charge extra. I am available anytime you need me! I have my own routine for my animals. Pet care is my priority, always. Whether its mine or yours. My animals have routine and structure. I also have a fenced in back yard. Everyone knows how the routine works as far as time outside to play, cuddle, and the feeding schedule.
About: I have lifelong, hands on experience caring for animals and specialize in supporting pets through every stage of life. I currently have a puppy (toy Aussiedoodle), so I’m actively experienced in potty training and reinforcing foundational commands like sit, stay, and come with consistency and patience. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs. I cared for my own from age 3 through 17, which gave me a deep understanding of advanced care needs such as medication administration, bathing, mobility support, doggy diaper care, and hand-feeding. I’m comfortable navigating the sensitivities that can come with new people and aging, including moments of discomfort or food related aggression, and always handle pets with a calm, patient approach. I currently care for two dogs and three cats, which keeps me very in tune with different temperaments, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior, adjust my care style accordingly, and provide steady, patient, and attentive care that helps pets feel safe and loved. My friends and family always call me for pet sitting needs due to my loving and bubbly personality and strong passion and dedication for animals. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. At the moment, I have open availability 7 days a week, which allows me to be flexible and responsive for visits, walks, or other activities. I am currently in the process of interviewing for part-time positions, but I remain committed to prioritizing pet care and can easily accommodate visits before or after work shifts. I’m very flexible and happy to work around what’s best for each pet’s routine. I provide care in a calm, attentive, and safety-focused way that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so pets can stay in their familiar environment with minimal stress. I pay close attention to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. I also take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace—whether that means a gentle introduction, giving them space if they’re shy, or engaging with play and affection once they’re comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping owners fully informed and at ease throughout the visit. I also have two dogs of my own if your fur baby is ever needing a friend. 💛
About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.

“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!”
“Emma was fantastic with our pups! She sent us lots of “pupdates” with pics. Took the girls on several walks, on outings to the park and even tried to teach them tricks. She went above and beyond with everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time Rover experience.”
“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.”
About: I love taking care of animals! I have a cat, 2 Australian Shepherds, and I raise sheep for shows) Please reach out with any needs! I work throughout the week so weekends are best! I can also pop in early mornings or in the evenings anytime after 5 pm ! If you crate your dog, I have no problem with that. I have crate trained both of my dogs! If your pet is dog friendly and up to date on shots, my mini Australian shepherds love a good play date. We love going on long walks or trips to the creek!
“Kaitlin made the entire experience comfortable and fun. She is great with dogs and made sure they were outside a lot and got to play. I had two of my dogs with her 4 days and the communication made it worry free.”
“Raelynn was the sweetest and took excellent care of our two senior rottweilers. We were sent an update daily along with pics and could tell they were having a good time with her. Would recommend again and again!”
About: Growing up I’ve worked with dog’s and sometimes cat’s whether it’s with family, friends or even my neighbors! From a very young age others have relied on me to give their pet’s the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working part-time, so I have more than enough time to give your pup attention. I’m available during the weekdays from 7am - 1pm and all day on weekends. I currently have a flexible schedule which gives me time to give your pet the attention they need. I can work most weekdays and I can also work around their routines to help them feel comfortable, and cared for.
“Sydney and her husband took excellent care of my dog. It was our first time using Rover and they provided reassurance through pictures and nightly updates. My dog is very particular and requires daily medications and they handled everything very well. Definitely recommend Sydney for anyone looking for care for their animals.”
“Ashlyn and her pets were fantastic with my sometimes-reactive dog. She listened to my cautious instructions and made sure my dog had a warm start-up to his week-long stay. Thank you!! Will be returning in the future :).”
“Jennifer and her family were amazing and took excellent care of our puppy! When we came to get our dog, she was having so much fun she didn’t even want to come back with us!”
“If rating system was higher, it wouldn’t be enough to compliment this fine person! A splendid experience as we were off getting married, he made sure the dogs were ABSOLUTELY LOVED and he shared the same passion that we do for these dogs. I would 100% return to this sitter.”
“Our frenchie had a fantastic stay with Sarah. She came back a happy and relaxed dog. Having her stay with Sarah put our minds at ease while we were enjoying our time in Branson. Thank you so much, Sarah!”
“Payten was an exceptional dog sitter for our two pups during their week-long stay. Her house and yard were perfect for our dogs to play and relax in. Communication was timely, and she was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Payten's friendly demeanor made us feel at ease leaving our pets in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Mickayla is awesome! I knew from the time we met that we are in good hands! This was the first time I have left her with someone, I could not be more pleased! I loved the pictures she took and told me about Gracie’s day. I can tell she loves animals, and I am so thankful and will definitely pick her when I need someone to care for my pup.”
“My boy had a great time with Tracy and her pups!!! After I had a bad experience with a local pet hotel, I felt that my boy needed more personal care. Tracy was attentive and caring, her pups well behaved and friendly and her home dog friendly. I had no hesitation leaving my boy with her and she kept me updated throughout his stay. I will definitely use her services again!!! Thank you so much Tracy!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, cats, and horses from a young age. I also have experience in dog grooming, ranging from small to large dogs. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am flexible as I work from home. I normally check pets at least two times a day, but more check in times are available upon request. I have a friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. He will be very helpful in helping young dogs learn how to socialize.
“Brooke took care of my 2 cats for 5 days and treated them the same as if they were her own. She is very knowledgeable about feline behavior and tuned into the adjustment process they were going through being in a new place. I was very impressed with the way she helped my kitties feel safe, calm, and entertained like spaces they could have privacy, a cat tree to play or sleep on, and assorted toys (they loved the robot laser!). We clarified how frequently I wished to be updated on how they were doing and she gave me details about their activity, eating and drinking, and when she tucked them in for the night. Highly recommend and will undoubtedly hire Brooke again.”
