“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!”
“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.”
“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 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.”
“Mike was fantastic with my pup. He warmed up to him very fast. I got updates and photos while I was away, which set my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time. ☺️ 100% 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.”
“We decided to stay over another day, Kind of a spontaneous decision, And of course we didn't have accommodations for our pets. So, we began calling around, also leaving messages through The Rover app, and asking different boarding availabilitys about having last minute booking. Not too many people responded. Janet, though, to my surprise, responded with a rapid message. I was surprised becaus in her brief bio and what some of her preferences were of clients, like a 7-Day meet and greet I was thinking like" she's she's definitely got her ways and she's not going to call me back !" Boom!! We had a booked appointment and our pets at our place, she was a little busy when we first contacted her which had a 1-hour delay which was fine, not too longer than an hour and a half after we contacted her. And she lives in West Branson not Springfield,BTW. SUPER KIND BIG HEART!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“Sarah was great! She gave multiple updates and sent many pics! I never doubted the safety or wellbeing of my fur babies while they were in her care. We will definitely be booking with her again the next time we visit!”
“Rowan was very good with Gypsy. She can take a little while to get used to new people- he was very good with her. He sent pictures and let us know how she was doing all week. She got a lot of play time and was having fun the whole time. We'll definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I have owned & cared for working dogs my entire life. Constant enjoyment comes from challenging your dog with short, kind training and immediate reward. 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.
About: I love animals. Super excited to work with you and your fur baby. Working with animals is a passion for me. Animals and I have a connection that makes them feel comfortable and at home. Of course it also entertains me in the mean time. I currently have a puppy that’s a year and a half that lives with me and my Husband. I also have a husky that's 4 yrs old. I grew up around animals and it’s always a pleasure to be able to work with your fur baby. As far as special skills, I’m able to maintain control of the dog on walks as well as in home while providing the upmost care for your baby. Looking forward to meet you and your furry family. My schedule varies but I usually work anywhere from 11am to midnight, depending on my shift that day. I am a bartender/server. I am beyond flexible for you and your furry kids, I do have the option to request off at least a week ahead so I can make time for your babies. I am very active and loving. I will spend extra quality time with your furry baby to make sure they are comfortable during my time with them.

“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!”
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.
“I boarded my two dogs with Allison in her home: one is a 16 year old chihuahua with a prolapsed trachea and one is a 4 yr old cattle dog who warms up slowly. Allison is amazing. She sent updates and photos, which showed my dogs comfortable and warming to her. I tried boarding at a facility and didn’t like the idea of them in kennels most of every day; I absolutely recommend this alternative and especially Allison. I will definitely seek her services in the future and I feel like my dogs actually made a new friend. They were happy and relaxed when they came back to me. 100 percent happy with and highly recommend her services.”

“Archie warmed up to Mallory pretty quickly. Conor took his time, but eventually made an appearance - it's just who he is. The house, plants and mail were all handled. I've already booked her again! Great job!”
“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 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: Reliable and have always had an animal magnetism. I love to get to know the animals and whatever their specific needs are to help make them feel most comfortable. 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 have had dogs, cats, geckos, rodents, snakes, & everything in between throughout my life, but certainly classify myself as a dog-lover! We bred English Pointers growing up in the Ozarks, had a Jack Russell as my own personal pet as a boy, had other dogs in the family growing up, and fostered and dog-sat during COVID! Excited to spend time with your pet! I left my corporate job last year & am currently building a free-lance career and locking in a GMAT score. I am 100% available & flexible- any day of the week and at any time! Currently, I cannot board a pet at my home as our landlord does not allow pets. I am available for sitting at the client home, check-ins, and walks! I actively work with leash-training, and if you would like for me to focus on it with your pet, please ask! I do not charge any extra for this but appreciate tips!
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.
“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.”

“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 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! I am so happy to have connected with her! When we come back for SDC or any shows I will book her for my babies so they can have a great time too! If your in the area visiting and need daycare or overnight, I would highly recommend her care! It is nothing shy of fantastic!”

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!”

“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: 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.
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.
