“Emily was great and very accommodating when I needed to change pickup time. Very responsive and felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her sweet family. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Thanks Janie! Huckleberry is always well taken care of while in your care. He's a crazy spoiled pug with a huge personality and you handle him well. You will always be our go to sitter!”
“Michelle and her family provided a warm, welcoming home for our dog during a full week-long stay. We received daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Michelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“Jack seemed to have a wonderful first-time stay with Deserae and her family over the weekend. We received many fun photos of Jack and his new friends running and playing in her large, sturdily fenced back yard. I was a bit concerned that there may be too many dogs around for Jack, because his like is pretty tame with just the two of us around the home. But he seemingly truly enjoyed all the social time, and Deserae seemingly does a great job of matching up personalities to ensure that all enjoy their time together. I would love to be able to call on Deserae in the future, and recommend her to others as well!!”
“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!”
“Second time booking with Brooke. She is excellent. You will be so pleased. We will continue to use her for our sweet pup in the future. He comes home so happy and well taken care of!”
“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!”
“Gretchen and her family did a wonderful job caring for our dog. Gretchen sent photos each day. Our dog was happy and well cared for! Definitely recommend! I will certainly be contacting Gretchen again!”
“This was Kaycee’s 2nd stay with Amanda and her family, and it was just as wonderful as the first! 🐾 Amanda kept me updated with photos, videos and messages, and it was clear Kaycee felt right at home. She had plenty of playtime, attention, and love — I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend!”
“Very sweet and caring family! They made the whole process seamless for new comers to Rover. She sent updates and loved on my pup and made us feel so comfortable being away from him for the night. 100% recommend Raquel!”
“Ashleigh was great with all aspects of our dog's stay. Great communication before and during the stay along with pictures of how our dog was doing. Lucy was comfortable with Ashleigh and her home, and we look forward to using her again!”
“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!”
“Mallory always does a great job and always has great communication. I can’t say enough good things about her. She makes leaving your pet feel easy and stress free and our pup always has a great time.”
“Sarah and her family were very loving and protective of Willow. She has some difficulties with being alone and Sarah was very responsive to that need. I definitely recommend her as my dog sitter.”
“Kelly was amazing with my super anxious Great Dane when we were passing through Branson and wanted to spend the day at Silver Dollar City!! She took great care of him and even got him to use the doggy door! I would definitely send Bandito again if we ever pass through Branson again!”
“Laura was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Luk had the time of her life and I believe she was sad to leave Laura’s and come home. 😉. Laura communicated daily with text, pictures and videos. There were walks, play dates, a little pool out back for splashing around. She bathed her and loved her and taught her a few things too! We could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you! We will be including Luk on more of the play dates in the future so that she can continue to socialize and have fun with dogs her own size.”

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.
“We needed someone to let our senior dog out once a day while at work. Chante has been amazing. She is very reliable and kind to our dog. I can't thank her enough for helping us out.”
“KJ did so great with my cat Bailey and keeping up with her care in my home while I traveled for a few days! I got lots of updates and pictures, and KJ was very flexible and understanding to help modify my reservation when I missed a flight back home. I highly recommend her for your fur babies to be in good hands when you need help.”
“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 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: 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.
“Breelyn did a wonderful job of caring for my cat and sending me lots of pictures along the way. She provided kitty cuddles & company for a week while I was out of town for a work. I will definitely book with her when I travel in the future.”
About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.
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 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’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.
About: I’ve grown up with, and been taking care of dogs majority of my life. I know how important it is to make sure your dog is in good hands and would love to help you out! 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'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.

“We could not have asked for a better experience. Jason and his wife were so communicative and accommodating. Our dog looked like he had the best time with them and their pup. Would highly recommend contacting Jason if you are in the area!”

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.”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Liza and her care for my dogs! I booked her super last minute the night before we needed her and she was more than accommodating and kind! We planned last minute to go to SDC today and didn’t have care for our dogs as we aren’t from the area! I found Liza ok this website and she she took exceptional care of them! Getting them out for lots of run and play time! My dogs weren’t nervous with her at all and I got lots of photos of them playing and napping which really helped this fur-mommas nerves!

“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”
“Our three dogs visited with Laura and Nash for two days of doggie day care. They had a blast! They love staying at Laura's and came home both days completely tuckered out. They even had a down day the next day! I was out of town and my husband had all day commitments both days. It was such a relief to have Laura take our pups instead of keeping them kenneled at home. It was the first visit for one of our dogs, and she loved it just as much as our other two who have stayed with Laura several times. We are very lucky to have Laura and Nash to keep our pups safe and happy!”
“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.”

About: I have had big dogs in the home since I was born and took on the responsibility of caring for them around 8. I have experience with all ages dogs and can administer medication if necessary. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I’m currently working toward a second degree and commute to Springfield daily for classes, but I always make time to care for my cats at home. Having grown up with dogs, I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and companionship in a pet’s routine. My schedule is structured, and I’m used to balancing responsibilities—so I bring that same reliability and care to the pets I look after. Whether it’s keeping them company, making sure they feel safe, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet. I am very patient and respectful with all animals and the spaces I care for them in. I and careful to return leave the space as I found it or clean up any space if requested.
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.

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.
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 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.

I have a lot of experience with dogs and can assure you that all of your pets needs will be more than taken care of. Please feel free to ask any questions.
“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.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. You can count on regular updates and plenty of cute pics!

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. 💛
“Breelyn is so kind and such a good caretaker of our puppy. She is dependable and communicates efficiently and effectively. We are so thankful to have her as a trusted caretaker of our pet!”

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.

“Jack seemed to have a wonderful first-time stay with Deserae and her family over the weekend. We received many fun photos of Jack and his new friends running and playing in her large, sturdily fenced back yard. I was a bit concerned that there may be too many dogs around for Jack, because his like is pretty tame with just the two of us around the home. But he seemingly truly enjoyed all the social time, and Deserae seemingly does a great job of matching up personalities to ensure that all enjoy their time together. I would love to be able to call on Deserae in the future, and recommend her to others as well!!”
“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!”
“Mallory always does a great job and always has great communication. I can’t say enough good things about her. She makes leaving your pet feel easy and stress free and our pup always has a great time.”
“Sarah and her family were very loving and protective of Willow. She has some difficulties with being alone and Sarah was very responsive to that need. I definitely recommend her as my dog sitter.”
“Kelly was amazing with my super anxious Great Dane when we were passing through Branson and wanted to spend the day at Silver Dollar City!! She took great care of him and even got him to use the doggy door! I would definitely send Bandito again if we ever pass through Branson again!”
“Laura was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Luk had the time of her life and I believe she was sad to leave Laura’s and come home. 😉. Laura communicated daily with text, pictures and videos. There were walks, play dates, a little pool out back for splashing around. She bathed her and loved her and taught her a few things too! We could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you! We will be including Luk on more of the play dates in the future so that she can continue to socialize and have fun with dogs her own size.”
“Anne watched my dog over a recent weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. My dog can be a bit timid and struggles with some separation anxiety, but Anne was wonderful with her. She kept me updated with pictures and videos showing my dog calm, comfortable, and getting along beautifully. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with Anne again anytime.”
“We had to go out of town last minute and Tracy was quick to respond to our messages. She even offered for a meet and greet even though it was such short notice. She was so kind and our pup Churro had such a fun time at her place with her two dogs. We are so happy we found her and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Sydney and her husband are amazing! They provided great updates while my dog was with them and were so flexible and understanding when I accidentally booked wrong, and they let my dog stay another night! I’m so grateful to them!”
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.
“Gerrad is our go to sitter whenever we go out of town - I think he loves our dog as much as we do! Frequent updates, quick replies and lots of pictures…we miss him but never worry. Gerrad is truly the best!”
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.
“Cortney and her family are amazing and took wonderful care of Ri! There was great communication including messages, photos and videos. Ri was happy with his stay and to meet his new friends!”
“Jennifer was so great with our pup. She sent constant pictures and updates throughout our pups stay. She didn’t want to leave when we picked her up. We will definitely be using Jennifer again.”
About: Walking, bathing, and hanging out with dogs is some of my favorite downtime activities. Growing up with a dog I learned all the necessary skills to watch over a dog. I even volunteered at the humane society in both the dog and cat area for four years! I am currently a teacher so I work from 7-4pm Monday through Friday, but if you need someone to walk your dog at night or house sit for the weekend or even a week night, I am your person! My husband also works from home so if you’re boarding during the week day he is also here to help out if needed. Whatever you need me to do is what I will follow. I will come to your place as my animals do not take well to strangers. But rest assured I will take great care of your animal, in whatever capacity you need. At our home we two cats that do well with other dogs but tend to ignore them, and one dog who LOVES other dogs so no worries there.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid! I absolutely love pets and have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can help with potty training, crate training, and obedience training. I will also send pictures and videos for peace of mind because everyone deserves that! I treat everyone’s animals like I would treat my own. I can’t wait to help you all with your pets. I currently clean homes for a living. I’m home a lot and could watch anyone’s pets whenever. I also have a husband who can help and a 7 year old kiddo who loves pets and would love your animals like her own. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies to keep your animals company. We can also crate your fur baby if needed or ours no problem.
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!
