Kyrstin fulfilled her obligation perfectly and promptly but the thing that stands out above all the rest is the compassion and care she gave our two kitties. Previous cat sitters always fed and watered them on a timely basis but upon our return home our cats would hold grudges against us for a couple days after a week long absence. With Kyrstin caring for them a 22 day stretch they acted like we never left, showed no signs of distress, proving she showed them true affection.

About: I’m very intuitive with animals and quickly understand their routines and needs. I carefully follow care instructions and focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I enjoy building trust and giving each pet personalized care. I love animals and taking care of loved family members. 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.

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!

KJ took such great care of my two cats. One of them requires daily medication and she successfully administered it to him each day. This is the second time she’s watched them and they love her. 😊

About: I live in an apartment in Branson close to the entertainment district. I have housesat many times around the USA and abroad completing a long-term position on a ranch in Yosemite, California for a year and a half, a few months in Greece with a parrot, dogs & cats, and this past year, in Vermont, Maine, North Carolina, Missouri with two horses, and Arkansas with a parrot. I currently have an open schedule, so I can be at home with your pet all day/night and be flexible with your schedule. I have no vehicle at the moment, so arranging transportation is needed for housesits and drop-ins. I spend a lot of time getting to know the pets and give my attention equally if there are several pets. Taking walks, patting them, playing, and feeding them.

Just give me a notice ahead of time atleast one day for scheduling purposes. I can only care for pets on client’s homes. I live with housemates and no pets allowed so I cannot pet sit at my place.

About: New to Rover, but not new to caring for pets! I am home full time right now and would love to dedicate my free time to your beloved pet! Located in Shell Knob, but happily serving Branson, Aurora, Cassville and nearby areas! I’ve cared for animals since I was a little girl and know how important it is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted me with their pets for years and I’m excited to bring that same care, love, and reliability to Rover! I love animals of all kinds and I actively work to get strays off the streets and find loving homes. I have worked with elderly dogs as well as puppies. I have worked with frightened and anxious dogs and understand that they may need more attention. I’m always happy to send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. In my home, pets are able to roam freely and relax, but I also have a kennel available if they’re more comfortable having their own space. I have a large partially fenced yard with a lead where they can enjoy time outside. There’s also a park just one minute from my house with a fenced-in area where dogs can safely run and play. I love all animals and strive to help them have a good life. I truly enjoy helping animals and making them happy. I’m very flexible to work around any schedule as I am home full time. I’d love to meet your fur baby and help with their care! I currently am home full time so there is plenty of time to help with your fur baby. I love meeting new dogs/ animals and can always be there to relay on when you’re out of town. I know most people say they love dogs, but I really love dogs as well as all animals. I truly enjoy caring for them and playing with them and walking them and I am very patient. I would love to care for your fur baby. I’m available pretty much anytime! My house is cat and dog friendly. My back yard is partially fenced and I do have a lead for dogs as well. I have plenty of space for them to run around. I have super friendly dogs as well that loves to play and meet new dogs. Although, if your pet prefers to not be around other dogs, I can work with that too. My 2 dogs have their own kennels and space and I have no issue keeping them separate. They will have lots of free time inside and outside to play.

Jerica stayed over and watched our cat while we were away. When we got home, the apartment was tidy and the cat was happy! Would definitely recommend her as a housesitter/petsitter!

About: I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and truly invested in your pet’s well-being. I follow instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My background has taught me the importance of consistency, observation, and communication — things that matter just as much in pet care as they do in any trusted role. Pet care fits into my routine because I’m organized, reliable, and intentional with my time. I only accept care requests when I know I can give pets my full attention. For daytime dog walking and drop-in visits, I care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including walk schedules, feeding instructions (if applicable), and any special notes you provide. During walks, I focus on safety, positive interaction, and your dog’s individual pace and needs. I make sure they get appropriate exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and attention. For drop-in visits, I check on their overall well-being, provide companionship, and ensure their environment is safe and secure before leaving. I’m attentive and observant during every visit, watching for any changes in behavior or needs, and I communicate clearly with updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of chihuahua’s to Pitbulls and have had dogs since I was a child. I have boarded dogs and regularly do house visits to let dogs out to potty during the work week. I am experienced in understanding dog behavior and communication patterns. I work from home 5 days a week and care for my own 2 dogs that get to spend time outside in our backyard every few hours. I have a large fenced backyard and have experience with animal care. The dogs will spend a majority of their time indoors, but frequently have supervised outside play time in the backyard (weather permitting). Dog walks can also be provided at no addition cost. At night, I have a large kennel inside they can sleep in with blankets. Daily pictures and status updates can be sent as well if desired. Pets toys are welcome if you would like to bring your own. To ensure a low stress transition owners are welcome to set up a meet and greet prior to booking. All dogs will be introduced one at a time with any other animals and be able to take a private house tour.

I work full time during the week but can be available from 6:00pm to 11:00pm. Weekends are open for me so any time of day, early morning or late at night. When coming to your home, I am respectful of the environment and the animals there. I will follow whatever instructions you have for care at the time of request.

About: We’re a dog-loving household with over 10 years of experience caring for and training dogs. We’ve raised more than five dogs, focusing on positive reinforcement, consistency, and trust to ensure they’re obedient, happy, and well-adjusted. We currently own a Lagotto Romagnolo, a smart and affectionate breed. Over the years, we’ve trained multiple dogs to respond reliably to commands, walk calmly on leash, and thrive in both structured and relaxed environments. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility and time to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. With help from my older kids—who are experienced and gentle with animals—your dog will enjoy a safe, loving environment full of play, companionship, and routine. I care for pets in a clean, secure, and loving space. With 80 acres including hilly beautiful fields and a private hiking trail, active dogs have plenty of room to play and explore. Our spacious two-story home comfortably accommodates multiple dogs, offering both relaxation and fun in a safe, supervised environment.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life! I've always been the one to take care of my family and friends pets! Of all ages and sizes! I'm currently full time around (36 hours) at target in Branson! But I'm in college for pet grooming! I love dogs and cats, I've always had them as pets for as long as I can remember! I live in an apartment in Harrison, so I won't be able to keep your fur baby at my house but I can easily take care of them in your own homes! Most dogs and cats are more comfortable that way
