“Jocelyn made our puppy's first stay so easy. Theo was a bit nervous at first, but she did everything she could to make him feel better. By the end of the first day, he was having a blast playing with the other dogs. She did great with communication and sending pictures as well. We will definitely use her again!”

“Rebecca was a fantastic match for my sweet Bernedoodle! She was very communicative which really put my mind at ease. If I’m ever in the area again, I might make up an excuse for my pup to spend some time with Rebecca again!”

“Everything went great! Xena was tired and ready to go home but a little reluctant to leave. I got consistent updates throughout her stay. She was treated as though she belonged to them. I will be booking again.”

“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.”

“Absolutely wonderful experience for our little pup with Michelle and her family! Her house is clean and safe, and there’s lots of love and snuggles to go around. A very positive experience for us and Henry and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. It is obvious that she loves animals. We will definitely use her for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you Michelle!”

“Our pups love staying with Barnabas! They jump out of the car & hurry straight to his front door when we pull into his driveway. Thank you, Barnabas, for giving Honeybun and Waffles a home away from home!”

“We absolutely LOVED Jason, and so did our dogs! I was honestly so sad that we needed to leave our new puppy with someone because dogs weren’t allowed at our Airbnb — but Jason and his family were THE BEST. Communication was outstanding, and we received videos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Brock and Zoe loved their time there! They had lots of toys to play with and were clearly happy and well cared for. We also loved that we were able to drop them off and pick them up daily, so we could still see them while on vacation. As if that wasn’t enough, they sent us home with the sweetest card that included photos that turn into stickers — such a thoughtful touch and perfect for our Branson scrapbook. Their location was super easy and convenient, right by Branson Landing, which made it perfect for pup-friendly shopping and nature walks. We will FOR SURE be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Meagen took care of our dog like it was her own. She was very spoiled the short time she stayed with Meagen. Meagan was very attentive to our dog and kept us updated the entire time.”

“Courtney and Keith were amazing and flexible. They were very accommodating and allowed me to drop my dog late night due to travel. They took care of Scooby very well and shared pictures everyday.”

“Tovah did an awesome job with our two little dogs Lizzy and Ruby. Excellent communication and follow through. She sent pictures during their stay and gave is updates and a full rundown upon our return. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to others!”
“Mike was a fantastic sitter for my shorkey. She was with him 4 days and was well cared for and I got lots of pictures of my happy fur baby. I strongly recommend Mike if you need a dog sitter he really likes dogs and takes excellent care of them!”
“This is the first time I have used Rover, with absolutely no complaints. Todd was excellent with Luna, and I feel she was well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to board Luna with Todd again.”

“My babies loved staying with Kimberly! It's a good feeling when you know your "kids" are in good hands and are loved and spoiled. They loved playing and chilling with their furbabies. Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you again . . .”

About: We have always loved animals. We started offering pet transportation to the vet for people who are unable to take their fur babies to the vet and it turned into a full time business taking care of animals 💜 As there are two of us, one or both of us will be available to take care of your fur babies needs around the clock! We just recently moved from Mississippi to the Ozarks and we are currently in the middle of getting a place where we will be able to provide our boarding services again! Until it is complete we will only be able to provide our other services. We can't wait to start meeting new fur babies here! 💜 Our schedule revolves around dogs 😂 Thankfully there's two of us so that we can multitask while ensuring the dogs will always be taken care of. We have a fenced in yard that your fur baby can run wild in without the worry of running off. We also have security cameras that cover the back yard.
“Ashley was fantastic! She did just what we asked her to do and much more! I knew our cats were in great hands when she updated us after every visit. I know that this review is short but I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea! We are new to Eureka Springs and were so worried about leaving our babies with someone new. We liked Chelsea immediately and our shy orange boy also walked right up to her during the meet and greet which is always a good sign. While we were gone (10 days out of the country), Chelsea was so loving with our cats and provided thoughtful updates with photos and helpful info. After they first visit and update we were completely at ease for the rest of our trip and our super shy girl who I mentioned might never come out even came out for pets by the last couple of visits. We will use Chelsea for any/all upcoming pet sitting needs for as long as she’s available. THANK YOU!”


About: I’ve had cats for about 3 years now and every year I have gotten around 3 new cats. I now am responsible for 9 feline cuties. If you knew me in person you’d know that I’m obsessed with cats and my whole world revolves around them. I have devoted my life to making all my babies comfortable and for them to thrive in our environment.

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!

About: What sets me apart from other house sitters is that I’ve been a true cat person for as long as I can remember—my first word was actually “kitty-cat” (not even kidding!). I’ve cared for cats of all ages, from tiny kittens to senior cats—like my own 14-year-old cat, Prince, who’s in my profile photo. I’ve also had experience with special needs cats, including one that was blind. When I was 15, I rescued a litter of kittens and their mom from an old abandoned barn and helped care for them until they were safely rehomed. I genuinely love and understand cats, and they always seem to sense that.

“I highly recommend Kim! She was very professional from the first response to my inquiry to our meet and greet. I felt very comfortable leaving Wiggles with her. I received pictures and updates throughout the day. I feel fortunate to have found someone like Kim.”

“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.”

“We used Emily for the first time we have had to leave our doggo with anyone. She was wonderful and made it so easy for us to enjoy our day knowing our girl was with someone so caring. Would definitely recommend Emily to anyone.”

“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet little boy while we spent the day at Silver Dollar City. She sent updates and made sure he got everything he needed - from meals to playtime and snuggles. We’ll definitely leave our little fur baby with Sarah again next time we’re in Branson!”

“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.”

“Our sweet Ollie came back happy and calm! ! We could tell he was very well taken care of and enjoyed his time with Todd! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pup while we were at SDC! We so appreciate it!”

“Jason and his wife are such wonderful people. They watched my 4 year old silken windhound girl on short notice and did so much to ease my anxious dog mom brain, sending me lots and lots of updates and photos throughout the day. I cannot stress to you how much I do not let just anyone watch my girl, but I instantly felt at ease the moment we stepped foot into their house to drop my girl off. They made her part of the family, even giving her a plate for dinner and putting her in charge of clean up duty during holiday tamale making time! (They asked to make sure she had no food allergies first!) My girl is very shy and has a lot of separation anxiety and Jason and his wife were so thoughtful and attentive with getting her comfortable being away from her family. She was snuggled up with them on the couch within an hour of us leaving! I HIGHLY recommend Jason for all your pet sitting needs and I will absolutely be using him again next time we're in Branson!”

“Our shy girl Shady will be back for our next trip away. Lots of photos that we loved to have for peace of mind and a great meet and greet before and review after. Thank you Elsy.”

I have a couple dog beds, along with fluffy blankets for them to cozy on up with. Tennis balls for playing and plenty of sticks to chew on.
“I noticed immediately my dogs were much calmer and more relaxed than when I take them to a boarding kennel. The home setting that Jocelyn provides is much more accommodating for our dogs that struggle with anxiety. Really happy to have had such a great experience with our first time using Rover. Jocelyn is a really great care provider.”

“Max has a great setup for doggy daycare. He made my scared, anxious pup feel right at home. My dog didn’t feel comfortable with the other dogs so he played with him outside and gave him the space he needed. He’s got a large fenced yard with plenty of grass, which my dog loves.”

I also have experience in rodent care. My extended family has trusted me to care for their pets on various occasions over time.

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.

Teddy don't like isolation ,so she gave him one on one attention and love for the few days with updates to us and even went to store and bought him some toys when he chewed through the ones we sent with him.
