“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Our pup had the best time with Mike. She was well cared for and treated like family. It made our trip much less stressful knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“This is the second time we have used Emily for our little one. She did a great job. Molly comes home like nothing has happened. That is a good thing. She usually gets back and is sick or sore after being boarded with our local boarder-I think they leave her in a cage most of the time. We will only use Rover and their caregivers from now on. Emily has been great for Molly!”
“Janie is absolutely wonderful! When I had an emergency and needed a sitter at the last minute during Christmas, she replied to me immediately, which helped me so much. Throughout the stay, she sent me daily videos and photos of Poppy, and it was great to see him having so much fun playing with Maui and other friends. Before we left, she gave Poppy some delicious treats, which was such a thoughtful touch. I truly appreciate everything she did. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to friends for future boarding needs!”
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!
“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.”
“Rowan was great with our dog. We’ve used quite a few people on Rover for care over the last few years, and he is by far the best we’ve used. He sent frequent updates and pictures, and he is great with communication. I highly recommend him!”
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.

“This was Mallory's second visit with Archie & Conor. Archie had previously warmed up to her but Conor is one picky cat. She totally won him over on day one - I couldn't be happier! When we got home today, they looked at us like, "you're not Mallory". 😀”
“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.”
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!
“Fantastic option if you have pets & enjoy traveling! My sitter China was awesome! She treated my fur babies like her own and sent photos twice a day! What a burden & guilt reliever! Soooo much better than boarding them. Will definitely use Rover again & will definitely see if China is available the next time we travel!”
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.

I’m part time at the moment, so, I’ll have ample time to spend with your pup! I can always work out a time to make it work for you. 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.
About: I've had cats my whole life, growing up my family rescued many stray cats so I know how to handle them well! And of course making sure their litter is clean and always have water and food
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'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.

“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.”
“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.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ridgedale
“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful! I'm always anxious leaving Lucy Lu. I didn't worry her at all. I could see from the pictures and videos she was being spoiled just like at home. I would recommend Jason to any other anxiety ridden pet Mom.”
“Michelle’s house was very neat and clean. She was very welcoming. Both Harper and Scarlet felt right a home. When we picked them up they were bright eyed with tails wagging. Will use her again.”
“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.”

“Chante was wonderful! She took great care of my pups and cat while my husband and I were in town visiting in our RV. She was incredibly accommodating to our crazy schedule and we so appreciate her taking care of our fur babies while we were enjoying Branson.”
“Malloy was very conscious of Sophie's needs for her first walk. There was a great bond between the two of them which is important for a hopefully long lasting relationship. These are all very important factors for me when it comes to a Dog Walker. I highly recommend Mallory!”
About: I am a dog lover and have been around dogs all my life and feel very comfortable with all types of dogs. My mission is to provide the best service and care to both you and your fur baby. I take every step and follow all directions to your specifications to ensure that you feel completely comfortable and at ease with entrusting the care of your best friend to me. I am a stay-at -home, homeschooling mom to 2 girls, 9 and 10 years old. My schedule is very flexible and can usually accommodate any requests. I have 3 Pomeranians that love to play with other dogs and have a very private backyard. Dogs are always supervised, never left alone in backyard.
About: I have cared for and loved my two small, senior dogs for many years. They are now 14 years old. I adopted them when they were about 2 years old. I enjoy taking them for walks, working with them on basic commands, and just snuggling with them. They are truly a big part of our little family. I have also cared for my mom's Yorkie when she needed extra help. I'd been an elementary teacher for 20 years. I'm dependable, patient, dedicated, and more than willing to help you and your pup in maintaining your routines. I know how important daily exercise, structure, and mental stimulation is for dogs; and I understand that they need people and companionship, too. Now that our dogs are getting older, I continue to adapt to meet their needs. I just really enjoy taking care of them! I also know what it's like to need to depend on others for help. That's why I want to provide this service to other dog owners like you! I hope to find dog owners who I can help on a regular basis or as needed. I understand the importance of finding a reliable person who will give excellent one-on-one attention that your pup deserves. I offer high-quality drop-in visits and dog walking at your home only. Many dogs feel most relaxed in their own space, and this lets me provide personalized, one-on-one care. I currently do not provide boarding or host dogs at my house.

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.

“Sarah was great and I highly recommend her to take care of your pets! She was right on time to walk our Xena and communicated with us throughout the process. We were staying in a little cabin at Camp Long Creek and went out to Silver Dollar City. Sarah came to the cabin, found the key we had hidden for her, and walked our dog. That’s a lot for someone to have to do, but she did it! Very professional.”

“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!”

I have been retired since 2020 and enjoy outdoor activities. A laid back fun day is scheduled everyday. Your pet will be in constant companionship. Crate training is absolutely fine, otherwise all activity will be hosted on a leash. My home is free of harsh chemicals as well as small children.
