“Our dogs are crazy about Jodi! It was our first time to have a sitter since our move to Missouri and it was great to have someone with her expertise and whom we could trust to stay at our home! It was a short weekend, but we will be using her again soon.”

“Regina took great care of our fur babies and our house while we were away and we are very happy. She provided regular updates and ensured our dog had plenty of play time and even socialization. We would not hesitate to hire her again”

About: I have had pets since I was in my 20’s. There’s only been one year in my adult life I didn’t have a pet of my own. My Pomeranian, Hank was diabetic requiring 2 insulin shots a day for 6 years. Then came Maizee, my toy Poodle. She lived to be 15. We just lost her in October 2025. I am still mourning my tiny little love. She had heart and kidney disease and required medication three times a day. Our remaining dog is Lucy. She is a Poodle too and the love of my life, just don’t tell my husband. My world revolves around her. I make her a homemade diet about every 3 weeks and I dehydrate meat for her treats. My husband always says when he dies he wants to come back as my dog. I haven’t had a job outside the home for 13-14 years. Since we recently lost Maizee I have more time. My husband didn’t administer her medications. My dog, Lucy also adores her dad making it possible to be away for short periods of time. Years and years ago I lost my Dachshund to the road. I was devastated! That incident made me aware of all the dangers they can encounter.

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.

“My mind was at ease with Samantha watching over my beloved and precious dog and grandog. She was quick to respond and kept me updated on their daily playtime. She stayed with them overnight to make sure no 3 am possum chasing would annoy my neighbors . House was pristine on my return and I think Ozzie was disappointed I wasn’t her! They loved all the attention and did fabulous.”

“Stephanie is the best pet sitter we've ever had! She went above and beyond when one of our dogs had a medical situation and likely saved his life.
