If I could give Josh and Anja 10 stars, I would! We were a bit tentative in booking an in home sitter after having a bad experience (NOT with a Rover sitter) in the past. From our first phone conversation with them to our meet and greet, we had instant trust in them and the dogs took to both of them right away. They are extremely knowledgeable and made certain that they asked questions in regard to feeding, medication, walks, likes and dislikes, to get to know the dogs. We booked with Josh and Anja for an in home overnight stay for our 11 month old lab puppy and an 8 year old boxer for two days, one night. They were extremely flexible with our schedule and on the morning that we left Josh was at our home a few minutes early for last minute instructions. We received texts and photos of the pups while we were away and knew that they were in good hands with people that truly cared about their well being. Because of the positive experience we had, we will definitely book with Josh and Anja again, and highly recommend them.

Ann did a fantastic job taking care of my boys. I got some photos every day and she kept me up to date on how they were doing throughout the weekend. She took extra precautions that would not have even crossed my mind like using long leads in the backyard, but it made doubly sure nothing could go wrong. It was a pleasure to work with her.

Kellie was so great with our boy, Tyson for a weekend. She communicated clearly before the trip, during our trip (we loved the updates!), and after. She was respectful of our home and a perfect house guest. Tyson was immediately comfortable with her and we were so comforted knowing he was not only being taken care of, but really loved on, while we were gone. We will absolutely use Kellie in the future, if possible.

Vlad was professional, on time, and kept us updated throughout the booking. Its was comforting having Vlad and Madi stay the weekend in our home and care for our 3 dogs. Vlad & Madi gave our dogs plenty of walks and attention. We'd definitely recommend and will use them again.

Megan is fantastic. She communicates really well and supported me with some change of plans in the middle of my trip. She is kind, caring and an amazing woman. She put me at ease and Abby just loved her. She was even looking out the window for an hour after Megan left! Definitely recommend.

We cannot recommend Angela highly enough! Angela provided peace of mind during our vacation and our four furry kids were calm and happy when we returned. It is clear that they were happy, cared for, and stress-free while we were gone. One of our dogs is a bit more nervous than the others, so Angela dropped in a few times leading up to our trip to help our pup get used to her. I cannot imagine this experience going any better!

Adrianna was incredibly responsible and compassionate with our pets! We have one dog, two cats, mice and a bearded dragon. She took care of them all with great ease. What a natural at pet care! I highly recommend her services. We will look forward to having her again during all of our upcoming vacations.

Emma has watched my Phoebe multiple times since I got her. Emma is very experienced with all kinds of animals including reptiles, rodents, dogs, and cats. I trust her to do exactly as I ask and make sure that not only are my cat's basic needs met, but her loneliness and stress is reduced by her presence. I highly recommend using Emma for your pet care needs!

About: I have lived with dogs all my life. I love playing and cuddling with the sweet ones. Once I can I will be getting a dachshund or pitbull. When my neighbor of 2 years is out of town, I take care of his 2 pit bulls, both over 10 years old. I work Monday to Friday 8 hours a week. If the house is close enough to my warehouse I will be able to visit them during my lunch hour. In my house, the pets are fully inside cats. We make sure to open blinds during the day so they have places to lie in the sun, which they love. They are dry food once a day and wet food every other day. Whatever the client needs to be done for the pet I will do to the best of my abilities.

Morgan does an amazing job taking care of our 10 year old beagle which can be challenging as our dog occasionally has seizures requiring reassurance and care to get through the crisis. Our beagle is always happy to see her and greets her at the door when she arrives. I highly recommend Morgan to care for your beloved pet.

Mitchell watched my special needs (blind) dachshund while I was out of town. He was very caring and gave me frequent updates, along with photos of her enjoying her time outside. He took her for walks and fed her breakfast and dinner. He was always punctual and cleaned up any accidents she had. He really eased my anxiety about leaving my baby at home. He is a great choice and you can rely on him!

Meghan stayed with my dogs for 4 days while we were out of town for the holidays, last minute. She did a fantastic job, and I'd highly recommend her!! Her communication stood out from the beginning—she was quick to respond and provide helpful information. When we left, the dogs were immediately comfortable staying with her. Meghan had sent multiple updates throughout the day while we were gone. She's incredibly responsive, responsible, trustworthy, and great with animals. Would absolutely asked her to help out again and would highly recommend her!
