“Amy is great- I am so grateful to have found her! I have recently relocated and had a few unexpected trips out of town, and she has been so good to my pup. She is flexible with schedules, great about sending updates/pictures and letting you know how your fur baby is doing, and she even sends you home with homemade treats for them! My pup came back home much less stressed than any previous boarding/kennel experiences.”
“I could not be more impressed with Cyndi! My dog Finley absolutely loved her, we got so many pictures, I did not worry about him for a single moment. We have a long stay coming up next week, and doing a “trial night” was exactly what I needed to calm my nerves!”
“Matt was wonderful! He checked in daily with pics and updates. He always answered quickly and was super flexible. Can’t recommend him enough and will definitely use again!”
“Nicole and Austyn are the best!! I needed an overnight sitter super last minute and Nicole was able to help me out! I really appreciate the flexibility and will absolutely be booking with her again :)”
“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Pepper had a great time. Sarah sent lots of pictures of Pepper’s stay. Pepper got lots of exercise and was pooped from her exciting tome. I would definitely recommend Sarah and will use her services again.”
“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of.

“My 'almost' adult hound had a wonderful time with Hilary and her family. She was taken on walks, petted constantly and had a central place in their home to nap. It was nice getting away for a few nights and not having to worry about the dog. I will definitely send Charlie over there next time I need help with her.”
“Rubenpapo took such great care of Mav! My dog is pretty easy going and he lovedddd the spacious yard where he could just flip in the grass. Very easy going and very responsive. I’m sure Mav had a vacation too while I was gone.”

“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind.

Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Amanda did an amazing job of taking care of my dog for a week. I have a small dog that recently went blind and Amanda was very well versed in taking care of older dogs and dogs with disabilities. Her house is well set up for taking care of older/disabled dogs and communications with her were always instant. Amanda is also an incredibly nice and personable person in general. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone needing a dog sitter.”

Gilpin dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lila was exceptional with care and communication for our older dog while we were away. She went above and beyond when he wasn't feeling well and was having extended issues, and we were relieved to come back to a happy, recovering doggo. Highly recommend Lila as a friendly, responsive, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!
This is my second time using Nicole for boarding my golden retriever. Her home is well equipped for dogs and she takes great care of them. Timely communicator and I would recommend!
Once again Myrna came through!!! Takes care of Bear like she does her own, can't thank her enough!!!!!!
Amber and Jason took such amazing care of our little puppy. It was the first time we had left her with anyone, and she’s tiny, but they did everything to be accommodating and safe with her. They also sent lots of videos, pictures. and updates. I was able to get away and unplug for a much-needed relaxing weekend. Thanks a million!
Matt is incredibly communicative and professional. He has a natural ability to read dogs and handles them with calm confidence. I was especially nervous leaving my dogs for the first time—one of them is a senior with specific needs—but Matt quickly put me at ease. He took wonderful care of my pups, and they came home happy, tired, and clearly well looked after. I really appreciated the timely updates and photos throughout their stay. I would absolutely recommend Matt to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog caregiver!
Definitely recommend Chris. He stepped in as a new boarder for me and spent plenty of time showing me his space and making me and my pup feel comfortable with him during an initial meet and greet. He was extremely communicative throughout the boarding stay and sent plenty of pics and updates. Phoebe was happy and well loved throughout. You can tell Chris loves and is a calm presence for the animals he cares for. I’d Recommend and will use him again
These two were absolutely amazing with Rebel! Kind, responsive, and supportive of my initially anxious Great Dane. Highly recommended!
Courtney took great care of my 13 year old lab! She sent photo updates and was responsive very quickly on the app when I was scheduling and checking in on my dog . We will definitely be repeat clients !
Donetta offered excellent care for my terrier, Oliver. Her understanding of terriers made things easy! Plus Ollie got to play with a few other dogs during his stay. Would definitely book with Donetta again!
Kyla is kind, professional and prompt! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures.
Cassie was great! Simple and easy drop off and she kept us up to date with messages and photos during our weekend trip away. Jack seemed to settle in with her, and she made everything easy for us!
This was Carmen’s second stay with Jeff. Everything was great. He sent pictures and video, and she came home well rested and happy. We will request him again!
Absolutely 5 stars for Maddox! He watched my dog Draco and went above and beyond in every way. Super professional, easy to communicate with, and most importantly—Draco loved him. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Would 100% recommend Maddox to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter.
Nicole was awesome with our 2 pups! She provided a ton of pictures and updates during their stay and made sure they had a great time. She was super flexible with coordinating pickup and drop off. Thank you!!!
Denise provided daily updates of Penny's adventures, and Penny got along great with her dog Luke. I would definitely use Denise again!
Kaitlyn took very good care of Teddy during our month long vacation. Teddy definitely seem to be happy and been eating well while we were away, I was concerned he may not. I will highly recommed Kaitlyn if you are looking for a great care for your pet.
5 stars from beginning to end of my pups stay with A&W! Communication was daily with pics and vids, and any concerns were addressed immediately and resolved. Top notch care!
Elise took great care of our boy and kept him happy and cool in the sweltering heat. Great communication while we were gone. Kimber loved spending time at her house with her husband and kitties. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much to Le’Quitta and her family for taking such great care of Boss ☺️ She kept me updated with pictures and communicated well. Will definitely be rebooking! We knew he had a good time when he slept the majority of the day when we got him home❤️ Thanks again!!!
