1. Anja & Josh K.

“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.”

“Katie is amazing! Our dog had an ear infection when we left and she went above and beyond in taking care of him! She bought extra supplies that he needed, gave his medication and gave him plenty of love and attention. Katie is a kind and patient person and she truly is amazing with Nova. I would trust her anytime to take care of him again! She was also very respectful of our home, went the extra mile by doing things like shoveling the driveway, gave lots of updates and left a nice note for when we returned!”

We will absolutely use Kellie in the future, if possible.”

16. Teagan B.
About: Ive had and taken care of dogs and cats of many shapes and sizes! Young and old, and some with medical needs, I always ensure pets are happy, loved, and ensure all their needs are met with swiftness I have a cat of my own! so everyday revolves around making sure my cat is well loved, fed, cleaned up after and given many hugs and kisses daily I always ensure pets needs are met, if they are pumped with energy we play or go for a walk, if whining or confused I make sure they are taken out for a bathroom break or medically sound, or in need of cuddles and pets if tired :)
