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!

Absolutely wonderful experience for our little pup with Michelle and her family! Her house is clean and safe, and there’s lots of love and snuggles to go around. A very positive experience for us and Henry and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. It is obvious that she loves animals. We will definitely use her for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you Michelle!

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. :)

Mike was kind and communicated well with pictures and videos which we appreciated. We needed a last minute sitter for our 2 dogs, one who needed meds and Mike did a great job. We will definitely use him again. Thank you for taking good care of Pepper and Fergie.

Sarah was terrific! We have two very high maintenance small dogs that had never been left before. They were anxious from the car ride into town and she was very calm and let them ease into meeting her and the new environment. We appreciated her great location that allowed us to be near to them and all of the photos and reassurances she sent to help ease our minds and allow us to enjoy our time with family. We definitely felt that are fur babies were being loved and cared for and we would absolutely use Sarah again in the future!

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I am a retired Quarter Horse and dog rancher with over 54 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Throughout my life, animals have never just been a job—they’ve been my passion, my pride, and my joy. I service BRANSON MO, TABLE ROCK AREA, NIXA & SPRINGFIELD In addition to running a ranch, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and responding appropriately. I treat every animal in my care like family. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, your pets will be cared for with the same attention, patience, and love I’ve given my own animals for decades. Their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. With my background, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in experienced, capable, and truly caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work during the day, but I dedicate my evenings and weekends to pet sitting, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care during those times. My schedule works especially well for pet owners who need reliable evening check-ins, overnight care, or weekend coverage. I make sure each visit is unhurried so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, so even with my daytime responsibilities, I prioritize making time to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and safe. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. With my background as a rancher and former veterinary assistant, I pay close attention to behavior and safety. I also treat every home with respect—keeping it clean, secure, and just as I found it. I provide updates so owners feel at ease, and I treat every pet like my own—with patience, care, and love.

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!

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 a 6-7 hr shift at Macadoodles. 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 closely located by a park. 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.

Our sweet poodle is a most excellent judge of character, and he immediately went with Megan and enjoyed his evening with her. She even allowed us to pick him up late after a concert on a weeknight. We were very pleased and would definitely use her again.

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!
