Murdoch is new to us and is still taking awhile to get used to the space and neighbourhood but Faith was super awesome at making him comfortable and happy.

Faith is patient, communicative, and always had photos and a report on how each walk went. She's a wonderful walker for our guy.”

“Very reliable!”
About: I have been a parent to my dog Banjo for four years, starting when she was 3 months old. After having Banjo, I began to dog sit for two of my family's neighbors, who we are close to. In my experience, I have been efficient in dog walking, visits to the house every couple of hours, senior dogs (giving correct medication dosages), overnight sitting, and housesitting (watering plants + collecting mail). I am currently a college student at Cal State Long Beach and since focusing simply on school, I have more free time on my hands. I am free on weekends and Tuesdays/Thursdays from morning to noon. Inside the house I will make sure to keep my full attention on your dog in order to make sure they have all their needs taken care of. When on a walk I am good at keeping a dog close to me and staying vigilant since my own dog is known to bark and pull a lot.
“Thank you Marylin! Have the best birthday and thank you for helping with Elote as we were out! 🥳🥳”
“Alan is the first dog walker our dog Cooper has ever had, and he did an amazing job helping us and Cooper feel like we were in good hands from day one. Our dog is very shy but took to Alan right away. We love all the photos Alan takes on their walks and seeing how happy Cooper is when he comes back. Couldn't recommend Alan more!”
“Jennifer was patient and kind with my dog. She was able to drop in on short notice as well. I appreciate her updates and the time she took with him.”
“Nicole is great! Over communicates with me and does a great job walking Blue.”
About: Together, we have over 4 years of experience working with dogs. We share one of our own, focusing on obedience, mental stimulation, and keeping her active. We understand that walks are more than just exercise, they offer engagement and enrichment! We prioritize enjoyable walks that keep dogs physically active while reinforcing good behavior. With patience, consistency, and a deep love for dogs, we ensure every walk is not just a routine, but a rewarding experience for your dog! We are both currently enrolled at Cal State University Long Beach studying Education and Accounting! Though we are students, we have more than enough time to care for your dog and take them on a walk. Our school schedules don’t overlap, ensuring at least one of us to be available for your pup. Caring for your dog and providing a safe environment is number our one priority! With a dog of our own, we ensure that she is mentality stimulated and physically challenged all while making the walk an enjoyable activity. We would give your dog the same attention and treatment as we give our own!
About: Taken care of animals since I can remember (bunnies, dogs, cats). Volunteered with shelters and adoption events too. Neighbors, friends and family rely on me to care for their pets day or night- I absolutely LOVE spending time with animals and giving them all the attention they deserve. Currently have a senior German shepherd/lab breed named YOLO!! I am a full time college student who’s semester just ended so I have my schedule wide open to take care of your pups any day any time!! Since I will be caring for pets in your homes I will abide by any instructions provided. If they can be let loose and roam around we can do that! Need them in the crate? That can be done too. Anything you need from me can and will be done :)
“I’ve used Gabriela twice now and she walks my little girl every week. She’s done a great job so far, on time, super nice, and great photos! Thank you!”
“Erin is the best!”
About: I have trained and cared for 2 dogs (chinese crested and pit bull/lamb mix). Family and neighbors have depended on me to take care of their dogs and cats (walked, feed, play, feed and bathe). I am available to play, feed, bathe or walk dogs as often as needed. Also available to board cats and dogs as my schedule allows. I have a fenced backyard and do not crate my dog unless needed. Walk the dog twice a day and give the dog freedom to roam care free.
About: I’ve always had a dog since the age of 8. I recently lost my bff dog Bear. With this newfound time I am looking to continue to spread love and happiness to furry friends. I currently work from home, and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be able to watch your fur baby at my place or yours. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. It’s only a few units and the building is gated and secure. There is an unfenced front yard but the neighborhood is very walkable.
About: I treat all animals like my own, I keep clear communication, respectful of homeowners space, I’m very clean, friendly, have two amazing puppies at home. I give positive updates when your away as well as offer extra help when I can. Growing up with cats and doggy’s all my life it and fostering many gave me a greater love for animals in need as well as just my fur babies at home. To add on, I love to go for walks, so it’s no problem if your pup like to walk far. Lastly cuddles and nap time, the best! Im a early bird most mornings so I always wake up early, go for a run, shower and grab coffee. My scheduled very flexible as of now. I love walking too so it works out perfect for me. Care for my pets at home, to start.. I have 2 pups at home. Pups are on the smaller side and they’re so loved & spoiled. No cats as of now, but grew up with a Siamese and maincoon. I take my pups on two walks a day, homemade food, sometimes a little freeze dried food that I add hot water to make it mushy for them. They love filtered water and being carried halfway through they’re walks sometimes. As for my clients home, I will care by treating the homeowners house with respect, cleanliness is important as well, following there instructions to a T, meal plans, walks, extra help that is noted as well. I treat there pets like my own so that they feel at ease but also because of my love for them. Building trust is important as well. I know leaving out of town with someone you don’t quite now can be nerve racking. As a pet owner myself I’ve learned that giving positive feedback or videos of the pup on walks or pictures is what put me at ease. So that what I incorporate as well if homeowner would like.

“Madeline was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! She stayed at our home and took great care of Buster while we were away. From the beginning, she was communicative, responsible, and very friendly. She made sure to follow all our care instructions and sent us regular updates with pictures, which really helped us feel at ease. Buster clearly loved spending time with her — we could tell he felt comfortable and well-loved the entire time. We came back to a happy pup and a spotless home. Madeline went above and beyond, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others. Thank you so much, Madeline!”

Arlene R.
“Arlene is honestly the best! She has been taking care of both mine and my sister’s dogs for a while now, and we couldn’t be happier with her. From day one, she’s been super reliable and just so great with our pups. Our dogs absolutely adore her— even the ones who are usually a bit nervous around new people. She’s got this natural way with them, whether it’s taking them on fun walks, making sure they’re well-fed, or just giving them the love they need while we’re away. It’s such a relief knowing that our fur babies are in Arlene’s care. We never have to worry because we know they’re being treated like family. If you’re looking for someone awesome to look after your dogs, Arlene is your girl!”

State College Area dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julie was amazing! Bibi looked happy, and content during all the visits. Bibi can be hard to walk but Julie handled her with ease and confidence.
Karen has walked my pup now for about 5 months- I’ve remained impressed with her reliability and level of care. My dog just loves her. Highly recommend to others!!
Alan is the first dog walker our dog Cooper has ever had, and he did an amazing job helping us and Cooper feel like we were in good hands from day one. Our dog is very shy but took to Alan right away. We love all the photos Alan takes on their walks and seeing how happy Cooper is when he comes back. Couldn't recommend Alan more!
Great 2nd walk. All 3 of my big dogs like her and the intact male Great Pyrenees accepted her as the leader and did not try to jump on her today. We’re off to a great start.
Earl is great! He was so patient and attentive. Especially appreciative since my dog is a foster and needs a little reassurance when meeting a new friend
Can’t go wrong with Luka. He outs both his energy and passion into your puppy and our dog absolutely loves spending time with him and we know she’s in good hands with him and can be worry and stress free regardless if it’s a walk, dog sitting or just a play date.
Tyler is an amazing dog walker/pet sitter. My golden retriever 1 year old puppy is high energy and even had a broken toe for 8 weeks and Tyler was super attentive and responsive. He wrote amazing notes about the walks and Sully is always happy to see him. Tyler is always able to step in, even for my last minute requests and you can tell he really cares about the dogs he walks. I HIGHLY recommend Tyler for you pet walking/sitting needs!
I have nothing but a great experience with Kendall. He is awesome and the way he responds and take care of the dog. It’s truly a blessing thank you so much and I really appreciate you. I’m so excited. I so happy to have found you and my dog just loves you.
Juan is an incredibly sweet and caring person! He responded promptly, was attentive to my dog’s special needs, and it’s clear he truly loves animals. He was always punctual and very accommodating. I would absolutely trust him to care for my dog again. Highly recommended!
Alexa is our favorite! She's always on time, very reliable, and a great communicator. Highly recommend!
Amanda did so well with my pups! Deniz and Wafi was comfortable with her coming into the house for the first time for their walk. She was punctual and easy to talk to. I can tell Amanda has a loving and caring heart towards animals and hope to work with her more!
What a wonderful surprise. Natasha is amazing. The dogs loved hanging out with her. We felt totally at peace with this wonderful woman taking care of our babies.
