About: I have always loved and had little dogs. I have 2 Chihuahuas of my own that were rescues and are used to having other dogs in the house. I don’t have any children at home and my house is set up for pups. I try to keep a small amount of dogs, limiting guests to 4 so there are only 6 max. Small dogs. I have a secure, fenced back yard that the pups have access to when I am home. I sell Real Estate and my office is 5 min away so I am in and out a lot throughout the day. Im a Realtor and work mainly from home. Even on the busiest of days I can pop home for a quick check in. My own dogs are diggers so my fencing is carefully checked and secured but no dogs will have access to the back yard unless I am home to supervise. I have a fenced and secured back yard. My home is casual and I don’t mind dogs on my furniture. Dogs are part of the family and should be treated like such and loved on when you are home relaxing.

About: I have plenty of time on my hands. I am disabled so I’m home a lot and have plenty of free time. I have two dogs. I’m very kind ,patient , loving and fun. I have plenty of time and opportunity to help with any situation needed for your pet. I have a very loving and comforting nature and I adore animals. I care for my two dogs, but other than that I have plenty of time on my hands for assistance with your pet(s). I’m ready and eager to help. I care for my pets diligently, I believe they need and deserve lots of time and attention. I would think the exact same for your pet(s).

About: What sets me apart from other house sitters is my patient, loving approach to every dog I meet. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to large German Shepherds—and I understand how to tailor care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m confident in basic training and redirecting unwanted behavior using positive reinforcement. With enough treats and consistency, I truly believe there’s nothing a dog can’t learn! Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—me and my roommate share two cats, Lennox and Sylvia, and they definitely keep us on our toes! Lennox is always digging through the trash like he’s starving (even though they get two servings of wet food a day plus dry food), so I’m often cleaning up his little adventures. They’re totally spoiled, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing with them using lasers and feather toys—they’re a blast and bring a lot of joy and routine to my day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding instructions carefully, make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and keep an eye on their behavior in case anything seems off. Whether it’s giving meds, scooping the litter box, or just hanging out on the couch for some cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how much animals thrive on routine and love, so I make sure they get both!

We’re flexible, attentive, and happy to match your pet’s unique energy and routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something we do, it’s truly our passion. We’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, and share our home with two playful cats, a sweet Aussie, and a lovable Corgi, so we know every animal has their own personality. Your pet will be treated like family, because that’s exactly what they are to us! 🐶 Daycare & Boarding Your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised play, enrichment, cuddles, and outdoor time in our large fenced yard with fresh water always available.

We walk at your dog’s pace and let them sniff. Walks are a mix of exercise and mental enrichment, because we know a good walk is about more than just steps!

About: I have had a dog since I was a child, and love caring for dogs. Walks are my favorite and I'm sure the dog enjoys them even more! I've never done anything like this before but I have had dogs my whole life and would care for your dog as if it were my own! I'm a caring guy who is willing to go above the call of duty for your special friend! If you live in Touchstone Village - find me on a walk and we can discuss neighborly rates! I work from 8-5 and depending on how close I could swing by on lunch to check on your animal. Evenings are free and I can adjust my time to your animals needs! I treat my dogs as children and give them as much love as they can receive! They get daily walks in the morning and afternoon, while also getting plenty of play time and attention in the yard as well!

About: We love animals!! My wife and I have two Labrador Retrievers of our own (Scarlord and Lady). We’re fun people, we have goofy dogs and we always respect the rules that our clients are comfortable with setting for their doggos. Whether your dogs are chill or nuts, we’ll accommodate and facilitate their happiness! We play with our dogs all the time and go on a few walks/longboard runs during the day, as well as play in our big fenced-in backyard. Any other dogs are welcome in our home and will get plenty of love and attention from us :) Our Rover experience comes with: An open floor plan house, two resident dogs that love other dogs, a big fenced-in backyard to play, running trails, plenty of toys, treats and love, and of course belly scratches 🤙🏾

“Skye made a new friend with Nahla. She sent pics and updates at each visit. And being a vet tech she passed on some info that we needed to watch about Nahla. Skye spirit was calming for Nahla so.less stress for the separation days.”


“So great to have peace of mind when Becky is taking care of our dogs. Gave me updates at every visit and made sure they got got their potty breaks and some snuggles. Will definitely be using here again!”


About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years before becoming a stay at home mom. Other than my kids, my passion is animals! I am proficient in animal handling, care, and medication management. Your fur baby will be happy, well cared for, and safe with me! I am currently a stay at home mom of 3 littles. We are huge animal lovers! I am dedicated to taking care of everyone’s needs. So you tell me what the baby needs and I will be sure to be there for them. We do not have any weekly engagements that last more than 1 hour, so your fur baby will never be alone. I have a 2 acre property, un fenced. So your pet will have plenty of space to run and play. I also live two blocks away from a local park so walks are a definite fun bonus. I allow animals on furniture and beds. If that is what they are used to. Additionaly I have an extra crate in our home in case your baby needs to be crate trained.


About: I've been around animals all my life. From volunteering at Petsmart during adoption weekends to rescuing/fostering animals. It has been my passion since I was a kid. I've worked with all ages from older dogs who need medication and newborn puppies (I've even delivered puppies). I have experience getting timid dogs to trust me. All dog breeds, shapes and sizes are loveable and adorable. I can't wait to spend time with your little one (or big one) and they won't be lonely I have a 8yr old Catahoula mix who was rescued and she loves making new friends! She's very friendly and patient. Please pick us! I work from home which means plenty of time for breaks, walks, and play time. We'll care for your family member as if she/he was our own. :) I work from home and can be very attentive based on your dogs needs. I'm home daily and can make sure all your dogs needs are met. I have a couple dog beds, along with fluffy blankets for them to cozy on up with. Tennis balls for playing and plenty of sticks to chew on.

About: More than years of experience it's more my deep intuition with animals, the ability to read there needs before they show signs, and a genuine connection that builds trust quickly! I don't just watch pets I understand them, care for them like family, and tailor every moment to their comfort, health and happiness. From senior pets needing gentle care to high energy pups craving engagement, I bring patience, professionalism, and heart to every paw print in my path. I work from home, so I have all the time available to walk pets, care and more. Pet care fits into my plans any time of the day due to the amount of free time I have. Your pets safety is my top priority! I've created a secure, pet friendly environment designed for comfort, supervision, and peace of mind. Whether it's playtime or rest, I maintain a clean hazard free space, and follow strict safety protocols because I care for every pet like they're my own. You can trust that your furry family member is not just being watched, but truly protected, loved, and understood in my care.

About: I'm a great dog sitter, big reason is I don't charge an arm or a leg to watch your pet, I'm 5’7 and dark brown hair with blue eyes, you will always see me with a smile, I bring a backpack full of toys and treats for your pet, I will engage in physical activity with your pet unless your pet is a car I will try my best to engage with your cat, but I'm excellent with dogs you can call or text me about availability because I do go to college but my classes end at noon just an FYI. I'm very compassionate when it comes to animals because animals are my world and I love spending time with animals if you have any questions at all feel free to call or text me anytime. I may not have medical experience but I do have a person that I can call if I need any help when it comes to medical issues.

About: I have loved all kinds of animals my whole life and I look forward to taking care of yours. I’m not afraid of a friendly dog that doesn’t realize how big it is or a cat that’s a little standoffish. I am patient and want to take care of your animals! I have two dogs who live the good life with long walks and sleeping in the middle of a king sized bed. I have helped take care of farm animals, and I am open to taking care of an animal that needs special care. I used to have a dog with diabetes and I gave her insulin twice a day until she crossed the rainbow road. I want to love your pets and treat them like my own! I currently work full time, so please reach out to me to set up a time! I will only take on the job if I can do it. I currently only plan to offer walking and check-in/play visits in the pet’s home. I will make sure your pet is safe and is kept in the routine you have set up!

About: I am a US Coast Guard retired veteran and I have a bachelors in Animal Science with the emphasis on pre-veterinary. I have worked at emergency vet clinics, small animal clinics, humane society, doggy daycares, grooming facilities and large animal stockyards. I have fostered several dogs and helped to organize animal charity events. In college and while active duty, I would pet sit and dog walk. I work from home 3 days a week. I live only a few mins from Cassville park so your snuggle bug baby and I would enjoy walks. On the weekends we could take a fun car ride to Roaring River to take a hike on one of the great trails. In my home I have a fiancé who is a big burly guy yet turns into a softie for a fur baby. Two energetic elementary aged children who are very familiar with foster animals and are so gentle with animals. I am the mama bear who is nurturing, playful yet disciplined in respecting my client’s requests, routine and schedule in order for their family member.

About: i have many years of both professional and volunteer experience working with animals. I work with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages at my day job with Haven of the Ozarks. During my nearly four years with Lawrence Pet Friends, I got to walk dogs and provide in-home care for dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and reptiles, plus one emperor scorpion named Fluffy. I also spent a summer working with brood mares and their foals at the Kansas Center for Equine Breeding. In my personal life, I have also kept aquatic animals and rats. My experience has included neonatal kittens and puppies, as well as disabled animals. I am comfortable working with blind and deaf animals, seizure-risk animals, and animals with incontinence and mobility issues. I am comfortable giving oral medication and bottle feeding. I am also willing to meet and learn about any kind of pet you may have. Whether I’m there to let your dog out to potty and play a quick game of tug-of-war, or to work with them on leash walking, or to hang out with an anxious kitty while you’re on vacation, I promise to love your animals just as you would! I currently work five days a week at the Haven, from 8:30 AM to 4 PM, with varying levels of flexibility therein. I also have obligations every other Tuesday evening. However, with enough notice, we can absolutely work out a plan for you and your pet! At this time, I am only providing in-home care. My cats would hate me if I brought a dog home! For vacation cat clients, I can do a one-or-two visit per day arrangement for feeding and litter scooping and love. Or if your pet is most comfortable with someone in the house, I can stay with them overnight. For daytime doggie clients, I can visit up to four times a day depending on schedule and distance, providing a walk and potty run at 7 am, noon, 4:30pm, and 9pm.

About: I have experience with rats, reptiles, dogs, sheep, cats, cattle, and dogs. Even my livestock animals have been pets. I had my first dog at five years old, and I have cared for pets ever since. I have experience with medicating pets with both edible medicine and shots. I have cared for high-needs pets whether that be a young animal with an illness or a senior pet. I have cooked whole food balanced meals for dogs and rats. I have experience training dogs, rats, sheep, and calves. My rats could go through obstacle courses, my livestock animals would walk right next to me and even go down the road on walks right by my side, and my dogs have known many cute tricks. I love extra large and high energy breeds. I have experience with both. Currently, I have a German Short-haired Pointer and know how much it takes to keep them stimulated! I work in the psychology field, but I am a contractor who can create my own schedule and can work around any walking or pet-sitting appointments. I would treat clients' pets just as I treat my own, like family. My love for animals gives me the ability to care dearly for pets and do what is best for them while keeping the pet parent's wishes in mind.

Haleigh M.
“Haleigh is the only person I trust to care for my cats when I’m away. She treats them with the same love and attention that I do—making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and thoroughly babied! As a fellow pet sitter myself, I know how important it is to find someone reliable and compassionate, and Haleigh is always my go-to when I’m unavailable. She’s responsible, dependable, and genuinely loves animals. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my pets!”

Carissa J.
“Carissa is one of those types of people who would like a whole zoo of animals for whom to care. She'd have all sorts, including the wild and ferocious kinds. She certainly does have a natural love for them all. In fact, for the most part, she's a vegetarian. She rarely eats meat. She also shared with me how she's rescued many dogs in the past and given them homes. My dog immediately fell in love with her. She doesn't do the bare minimum of care; she actively plays with him and shows plenty of affection. She's even willing to text you a picture of your dog, when asked, so you can see how happy he is. She's a sweet soul, and you'll immediately fall in love with her and will be relieved your "baby" is in her loving care.”
