“Mike was great. He was sent a note and pictures most every day. He treated Moise and Elvis like his own. Would definitely use Mine again in the future to watch our babies.”

“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!”

“Dylan was great! I was very nervous leaving one of my pups as it was her first time being away from us. She did very well and Dylan sent us updates daily. My pups didn’t want to leave when I picked them up! Highly recommend Dylan for your boarding stays.”

“Awesome job with our little ALLIE! Gretchen was very responsive to our texts and she sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on how things were going.. Greatly appreciate Gretchen being able to watch her around the holidays, and on a little shorter notice than normal. Would definitely allow Allie to stay again sometime.”

“Megan was fantastic, great to communicate with and took great care of our dog Bob, we couldn’t be happier. Thank you to Megan and her family, we’ll definitely rebook if in the region!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Oh my goodness...I felt so comfortable with Emily caring for my sweet fur baby. The pics she sent of Sadie affirmed that she was very comfy & at home in a loving environment. I plan to schedule my next trip with Emily in mind. 5☆”

“Lael is the perfect sitter. I know she took really good care of Rio and he had so much fun with her dogs. Will definitely use her again! Her place is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Perfect place for dogs to roam.”

“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!”

“She is so awesome!! For never leaving my dog with a stranger and my dog has not been socialized well due to being raised in the country; my Pomimo handled the separation very well. She went above to make my dog feel emotionally supported. Received video and pictures of my dog settling in. Tovah will be my first go to for returned trips if available. :)”


“Linda is the absolute best. She was great with my dog and treated him as her own. Communication was great and she sent pictures as promised. Would absolutely recommend and use again. Thank you Linda!!”

“Olivia was the perfect person for my senior dog! She knew I was nervous about leaving him and she sent pictures every day of our trip! He did so well and I will definitely be 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!”


About: I’ve been dog sitting for four years now watching my sister‘s dogs and my neighbors dogs and my dad‘s friends dogs for a long time now and I’ve grown to love it so I thought it would be nice to be able to help other people as well!! I’ve been babysitting for the last two years for two year-old. I started babysitting her when she was two months old, but I only babysit her 1 to 2 days a week so I’m free quite a lot. I have a big fenced in backyard and a lot of free space in my house. I live on a farm, so I’m pretty educated when it comes to animals and I worked at a vet clinic for two years!!
“Kim was AMAZING! She took care of our dog Peppers in her home for several days and sent daily pictures and updates, which we SO appreciated! She was also very flexible and accommodating with our schedule as we were traveling. Our dog enjoyed playing with her dog and seemed to have a very fun time with personal attention while he was there. He came home very happy and tired! When my husband picked up our dog she had packed his things nicely and even gave us a treat bag and card. We are so thankful to have found her and look forward to booking with her again!”

“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.”

“Jodi was great with our cat. He interacted with her from the first day-it usually takes him 3 days to come out from under the bed. She was so dependable and sent excellent reports. We will use her again.”

“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.”


“Communication with Michelle was easy and prompt. She asked good questions and I felt that she was serious about providing great care to my pet. My arrival back home was to a happy cat and a clean home. Thanks so much!”


“Katie is awesome and so helpful! She sent us pictures of our cats and it made us feel so much better leaving them for vacation! She even left us a cute little goodie bag and thank you note! Couldn’t recommend Katie enough!”

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

“I had surgery scheduled in STL, but needed to make sure someone could drop by and give my elderly cat her medicine while I was gone. Breelyn did great! She made sure to reassure me in the rover card that she was very gentle, and was even able to get a glimpse of my youngest cat who has bouts of ‘stranger danger.’ TYSM Breelyn!”

“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 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 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.

“Jason and his wife were amazing for a daycare stay while we traveled through town! They sent updates and responded so quickly!! If we’re traveling through again we will definitely book again.”
“Brooke E was an absolute life saver I was in a bind and she was able to help me out. When I first met her king gave her lots of loves and then just laid in her arms it made me happy and worry free using her. Thank you again Brooke. I highly recommend her!!!!”

“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.”

“Everything was wonderful! Max had a great day while I was at Silver Dollar City. Lots of photos and updates :). Highly recommend, and Max will see you the next time we’re in town.”

“Took elphie in super last minute and saved the day. Was so kind and loving to her and made me feel comfortable leaving her. She sent lots of photos and was very obviously enjoying the presence of my dog, which gives any dog mom peace of mind!”

“My dog is 80lbs with big energy. Dylan did a fantastic job caring for my dog, safely introducing him to other dogs and ensuring they had a fun, safe time! He provides excellent care and has a lot of safeguards in place to ensure every dog gets quality care and the attention they need!”

“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: Hello and welcome to our little side of dog paradise! I will need a meet and greet before I can commit to any extent of stay. All dogs must be current on shots and show no symptoms of infection or intestinal issues. Charlie, my last dog was a dachshund, she was not a good social fit for most dogs and we were very limited in taking her or leaving her with anybody. I loved her dearly but she was a total pill! Dottie our new cattle dog mix is just wonderful with other dogs, and because she loves to play...here we are on this site! Dottie is such a great host to all dogs in our house I thought why not? I work from home and also have times where I need to be gone but never for more than 3 hours at a time. I will never book if I am too busy to be a good dog parent. That is a promise. I have a flexible schedule that I am in charge of at all times. I would like to see a complete profile with photos to consider a booking. I am not looking to make this my primary business and only want to cater to the right pets that fit our life. I am not a dog trainer but do love them dearly when they are in my care. A good fit for us is a typical fun loving dog that likes everybody and wants to play and walk. I do believe another good fit would be the super lazy or old pet that just likes to lay around or be petted. I am all about them. They need to be house trained crate trained is a plus. I can’t take any aggressive tendencies toward kids, cats or other dogs. I would also like to avoid dogs that have intense anxiety or tend to be destructive. If our home sounds like a good fit reach out! Our days start early at 6:00am Monday-Friday, the weekends depend on our Schedule. We are also early to bed at 8:00pm so would like to avoid late pick ups but can understand if it’s a late flight or a long drive in a day to get back home. I Have a nice house in an awesome south east Springfield neighborhood, It comes with a wood 6ft privacy fence. I have a 9 year old kid who loves pets as well. We have Felix, a 3 year old male tabby who comes in and out on his own free will at all times of the day. He is indifferent to dogs, doesn't want to hang out with them but not going to bite or attack anybody. He is a good boy. Dottie is our new adopted dog. We got her from care rescue shelter in August 2025 to foster and eventually sealed the deal for keeps. She is a lovely little creature that loves to play and run around the backyard with her other dog buddies. Dottie has a crate and we still use it at times but she is pretty well allowed to roam around. She is crate trained and potty trained. Basically I am pretty easy dog mamma. If they need rest, they get it. If they want to play and run they can. They come in and out when they want. That's how we roll at our house.
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!
“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!”

“Todd’s farm is amazing! You should let him watch your dog just to see his view and animals! Todd took great care of my dog while we went sightseeing. Brodie had a great time exploring their farm, hanging with the other dogs, and checking out the other animals. Highly recommend.”


About: I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m home throughout the day, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and daily walks. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any house rules you use at home. My goal is to make their stay feel comfortable, safe, and as much like home as possible! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. We have a fenced yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and I can provide at least one walk each day along with plenty of playtime and attention. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be nerve-racking, especially the first time, so I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout their stay. ❤️ Every dog is different, and I’m happy to learn their routine, personality, favorite things, and little quirks so they can feel right at home while they’re here. I have a fenced yard and will play in the yard with them. I will do prioritize comfort and brain stimulation by allowing for a lot of playtime and walks if your dog allows.
“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.”

“Gretchen took in our Xena for daycare at the last minute - for which we were very grateful! She and her husband were great - very communicative and kind. Xena was in good hands and had a good time with their dogs. Highly recommend!”

About: My husband WFH while I love on pets full time! We have fostered through rescue organizations for 6 years now, always a rewarding experience! We used to do Rover full time in Kansas City KS, 2022-2024 before moving to our current house in MO. I helped raise 4 tiny puppies and found them furever homes. We have hosted up to 11 dogs at once utilizing 3 sections of the house as play group areas and rotation outside every couple hours. We recently fostered a puppy, Millie, who turned out to have a terminal life threatening illness. We adopted her and cared for her until her time to go was up. We also have a 6 year old dog that is now epileptic and on daily seizure meds. We have experience with all ages and medical conditions of life. As for training, I taught my first dog how to use buttons to communicate, crate train, and the regular dog commands. This is my full time job, my life's purpose, all thanks to my supportive husband who works from home. Every dog deserves the devotional and loyal love they give so freely! I am here to give back to them all the love they share and more. Through life I have learned that Safety and Trust are key to every relationship and home environment. Before integrating the dogs together, it is imperative I spend intentional time with the new dog to help it adjust to its new environment or to my new presence.
“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!”

“Rowan took wonderful care of my dog Hana. He was very attentive, communicative, and it was clear he loved what he did. Hana always came home happy and well cared for, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him.”

“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.”

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.
About: My household was always swarming with pets! From puppy litters to senior dogs, I can help train and make sure older dogs are happy and comfortable. I have taken a break from work to be with family more, so I have all the time for your fur babies! Walking, feeding, playing, I will make sure they are happy and safe! My #1 is to make sure your pets are happy, safe and comfortable. And a part of that is making sure they aren't stressed in their environment. I will stick with their routine that works best for them, and make sure they are happy!
“Lais is wonderful and treats my fur baby like her own. Although she doesn’t advertise boarding, my dog has stayed with her on multiple occasions and truly enjoyed the interactions with her family including their dog. 100% recommend. Her updates and photos are great and isn’t afraid to let owners know details of time with her. My dog has gone on many adventures with her in which were very pleasurable.”

About: I have experience caring for senior dogs, providing end-of-life care, and administering medications. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, and I understand the extra patience, compassion, and care that older or medically complex pets may require. I’m also comfortable providing loving, attentive care to pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to giving your pets lots of love, attention, and playtime! I’m happy to work with different routines and schedules and will always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether your pet needs a buddy for a walk, someone to keep them company during the day, or some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they get the care and attention they deserve! 🐶🐱🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines, pay close attention to their individual needs and behaviors, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise. I’m respectful of your home and your space, and I’ll always treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment while you’re away! 🐾

About: I have taken care of pets for over 33 years ever since getting my first dog at 7 years old. I’ve had dogs of all sizes and shapes including a Lhasa Apso, King Charles Spaniel, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull, Shihpoo, and Heeler/Daschund mix. They’ve ranged in ages from 8 week old puppy to 5 year old rescue when I brought them home and I nursed many through their senior years. Of course I love all pets so I’ve also had Bunnies, Fish, Cats, hermit crabs, frogs, and more. I love them all! Currently in my home I have a 1 year old Shihpoo name Mocha and a 5 year old Heeler/Dauschund mix named Luna. I promise to take care of your fur babies just as if they were mine! I am a single mother with lots of time on my hands to love on pets. I have a daughter in Junior High and a son in High School so I do run them back and forth to their activities but otherwise I’m ready to spend time with the fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a couple big trees for shade while pets are playing outdoors and a covered back porch for relaxing.
“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: Pets are part of the family and should be treated as so! I have spent more than 9 years raising pups of my own. From training, exercising, and other pet needs, its essential to provide the best care possible. I keep the best interest of the pup at heart and will always go the extra mile to ensure the safety and happiness of all animals. Your loyal family member deserves the upmost level of care, respect, and happiness possible! I’m currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to play and care for your pet! I am open to boarding, drop-ins, and more! I have a privacy-fenced in yard with plenty of room to roam and a friendly pup to play with. I can crate and walk yours as needed too!

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 love animals and have two dogs of my own, Honey & Daisy. Honey is a rescue Golden Retriever mix and Daisy is a lab mix. I have a house with a huge fenced in backyard. My dogs are very friendly and love to play with new dogs! I am very responsible, trustworthy and reliable. I have always grown up around dogs so I am experienced with taking care of them. I love seeing new dogs and that is what has interested me in being a dog sitter/walker. I have a special love for animals and I will treat every animal as my own and take very good care of them. I am currently available on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday during the summer while my daughter is at school. If needed for other days, my daughter (1 year old) will more than likely be with me so please let me know if that is an issue. I have a fenced in backyard, with two friendly dogs ready to make some new friends. Your furry friend will always be in good hands.
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.
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.
About: I've taken care of my Chihuahua for 17 years. I also took dog training for a while. I'm super caring and love all animals. I will gladly watch your pet! I currently work remotely, full time so I will be able to take your pet out as much as they need. I am home most of the day. I live in a house with a nice fenced in backyard. My Australian Shepherd, Elsa loves to play fetch outdoors, while my Chihuahua tans in the sun.

“Mike was great. He was sent a note and pictures most every day. He treated Moise and Elvis like his own. Would definitely use Mine again in the future to watch our babies.”

“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!”

“Dylan was great! I was very nervous leaving one of my pups as it was her first time being away from us. She did very well and Dylan sent us updates daily. My pups didn’t want to leave when I picked them up! Highly recommend Dylan for your boarding stays.”

“Megan was fantastic, great to communicate with and took great care of our dog Bob, we couldn’t be happier. Thank you to Megan and her family, we’ll definitely rebook if in the region!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Lael is the perfect sitter. I know she took really good care of Rio and he had so much fun with her dogs. Will definitely use her again! Her place is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Perfect place for dogs to roam.”


About: I have taken care of pets for over 33 years ever since getting my first dog at 7 years old. I’ve had dogs of all sizes and shapes including a Lhasa Apso, King Charles Spaniel, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull, Shihpoo, and Heeler/Daschund mix. They’ve ranged in ages from 8 week old puppy to 5 year old rescue when I brought them home and I nursed many through their senior years. Of course I love all pets so I’ve also had Bunnies, Fish, Cats, hermit crabs, frogs, and more. I love them all! Currently in my home I have a 1 year old Shihpoo name Mocha and a 5 year old Heeler/Dauschund mix named Luna. I promise to take care of your fur babies just as if they were mine! I am a single mother with lots of time on my hands to love on pets. I have a daughter in Junior High and a son in High School so I do run them back and forth to their activities but otherwise I’m ready to spend time with the fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a couple big trees for shade while pets are playing outdoors and a covered back porch for relaxing.
“Ashley took great care of our fur babies for the week of our move. She sent daily photos and updates and was great communicating. Definitely would recommend for anyone needing a safe and fun place for your fur babies!”

“Sabrina is fabulous! We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing while we were away, which I SO appreciated! Her attention to our "second child" allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more! We will for sure use her again and HIGHLY recommend!”

“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.”


“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!”

“Steve is gentleman, very kind and was really great in all respects. He proactively reached out before our meetup for any specific needs and to offer to meet me for a more convenient drop off. Our dog is a really sweet but busy guy and he requires an activity or can get squirrelly. He was so calm when I picked him up and clearly was exercised well the entire visit with Steve.”

“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.”


About: I've had dogs my entire life! My first pup that was actually mine was a Great Dane named Mazie. So I've definitely had experience with big dogs and am pretty comfortable with them. I've also owned pit bulls that ended up having puppies so I've been able to experience the complete dog journey from newborn to final bark. ( :( ) I do work full time but am able to do a drop-in during my lunch hour if needed. I'm also available most nights and weekends! I do work full time down town, but I get a one hour lunch break and can let your pet out or go on walks during that time! My evenings and weekends are generally free to help with pet care! I don’t have a fence, but I have a nice full yard and my dog Laney is super friendly and will keep your pup company!
