“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“I have a dog with a lot of anxiety and Mike was the perfect person to take care of my Cooper. He is laid back and relaxed, but attentive. He still likes Cooper even though he woke Mike early! LOL! I'll use him again!”
“Janie was an amazing dog sitter! Professional and very caring… Attentive to details… Our two puppies were in good hands. We were able to rest easy on our trip. Janie updated us with cute photos of the puppies as they enjoyed their visit with her and her own puppy hostess Maui. When we picked them up it was clear our puppies have been well cared for and loved. We would highly recommend Janie to every pet owner!”
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!
“Dylan provided a clean and safe environment. He took the time to introduce my dogs to his and provided play time. Both of my dogs came home exhausted. Dylan is dog-experienced and cares a lot. Thank you, Dylan!”
“Brooke did such a great job with Dora. She literally treated her like one of her own even though she can be a handful and a lot needy. I received many updates and pictures so I knew she was in good hands. I love that Dora fit right in and adapted very well. I look forward to booking with Brooke 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!”
“Our fur baby Goldie had a great time with Emilyn and her husband! We went to SDC for the Christmas lights and she was able to accommodate us on short notice. We appreciated her updates and pictures. If we are ever in Nixa again we will definitely contact her! Thanks Emilyn!”
“When I bought tickets to visit Branson and another sitter cancelled the week before, Sarah stepped in and saved our reservations and took Teddy off our hands and boarded him bc the hotel didn't allow dogs. Teddy don't like isolation ,so she gave him one on one attention and love for the few days with updates to us and even went to store and bought him some toys when he chewed through the ones we sent with him. She was real understanding with his issues and anxieties and his size and we were able to relax and enjoy the shows while we were there. I would totally recommend her and will rebook her if we ever get back to Branson Thank You for the vacation time, Sarah.”
“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!”
“Thankful Gretchen and her family were so accommodating for a last minute board. She was quick to provide pictures and give me updates on my two dogs. Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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: 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Shade
Kelli and John were hands down the BEST Rover sitters we’ve ever used. They truly love dogs and I had no doubt that they took the best care of our Golden Retriever. I received updates and pictures throughout the stay, and there is no better feeling to know that your pup is in great care. No doubt that we will use them again in the future. Thank you, thank you!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Walnut Shade sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Walnut Shade landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Walnut Shade home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Walnut Shade.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Walnut Shade sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
