About: Hi neighbors! 🐾 My name is Matthew and I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 100lb Labrador who’s not just my pet—he’s my best buddy. We walk, hike, play, and explore every day, rain or shine! I understand how much your furry friends mean to you, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of exercise. Whether you need regular walks, help on busy days, or just want your pup to get some extra attention, I’m here to help! Reliable. Experienced. Dog-obsessed. Let’s chat! 🐶💬 I currently work full time from home but I’m very active so I keep my dog active with me. We are up at 5am everyday going for runs/walks. On breaks we always get outside to enjoy the weather and allow him to use the bathroom if needed. After work if I’m not busy I love to take him to the dog park or on another walk around the neighborhood. So I’m available every weekday from 5am-8am and after work from 6pm-9pm I have a big open yard that I have an electric fence for my dog to go out as he needs with or without me. When leaving the yard he gets his harness put on and a leash with poop bags. We walk on the sidewalk at all times. We stop and sit before looking to see if we can cross the road.
About: Hi, my name is Julia! I am a college math teacher teaching online this summer. Nothing makes me happier than coming home to the doggy happy dance! Throughout my life, I’ve fed, walked, and cleaned up after my family pets. Additionally, I’ve cared for numerous neighbors pets as well as caring for pets while babysitting. I’ve house sat a few times for family friends too. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog/cat as their own, you have come to the right place. I’m happy to provide walks, house sitting, food and water as well as cuddles and belly scratches. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! I am available throughout the day to check on your pets, feed them, walk them, do whatever else they may need and give them all the pets they need! I will come to you! I am happy to maintain your usual schedule with your pets - feeding, walking, playing, etc. You tell me what they need!
About: IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICES: I work full-time from 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, and occasional weekend days/one federal holiday per calendar year. I have always been, and will always be an animal person. I have 3 dogs of my own currently: Lincoln (12 year old chihuahua), Ripley (4 year old mixed breed), and Tots (5 year old mixed breed); I also have a bunny named Bonsai (10 years old)! I have spent many years dedicated to the happiness and well-being of dogs of all ages ranging from 5 pounds to 150 pounds. I’ve socialized dogs for many years and can pick up on their cues of how they’re feeling, whether it be happy, anxious, or fearful. I’m well versed in medication administration as well, whether it be orally or topically given. I’ve prepped food that ranged from standard kibble to entirely raw. I’m also no stranger to cleaning up if a dog has an accident. I know how it is to worry when you’re away from your furry companions and that is why I uphold myself to high standards to make sure all animals are safe and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working full-time and am diligent about making sure my schedule is up to date as I like to stay organized and plan ahead. I work from 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and occasional weekend days/holidays. I have a fenced in yard. I have crates available in house if your dog is crate trained, whether it be for eating, sleeping, or general comfort/decompression. I have extra leads to make sure each dog is being walked safely. If your dog is on a retractable leash, I will make the call to use either a standard leash or British lead. It ensures the safety of both your companion and my own when on walks.
“Took great care of our girl, our 8 year old Labrador. Treated her so kindly and with complete professionalism. We were able to be at ease while away knowing Freya was with her. Highly recommend!”

About: I am a Dog Trainer with years of personal and professional experience taking care of, training and boarding all types of breeds, ages, and sizes. Growing up, I was raised in an animal loving household and have carried that love into my adult life. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own and they are my absolute world. Training and taking care of animals is and always has been a passion of mine. Booking with me means your pups become apart of my family and ensuring their health, safety and overall happiness. 🐾🦴 I am a full time Professional Dog Trainer with a very flexible schedule. A majority of the dogs I train live with me so most of my job is "home based". When I'm not out training, I am at home caring for your pups. My world revolves around your pets and their everyday needs. Whenever your pup cannot be supervised, they will be in a kennel inside my home for their saftey. For example, whenever I am not home and overnight. My backyard is completely fenced in and the dogs have tons of free time and space to get their energy out and run around. Dogs are always being supervised during free/play time to ensure their safety and safety of others.

“We love having Vivienne pet sit our pups and kitty. She's very caring and conscientious- spending a good amount of time with our pets. She has gotten to know them and it shows!”

About: I’ve checked in on multiple pets before. Friends and my own family and relatives message me to come in, walk their dog, feed and give them water, and keep them company for a while! I love pets so when I found out I could get paid for it, I was astounded! I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, with tender love and care. I am a working college student at the moment, so I would be working part time. I would make time for my clients though, especially how I often have time in between my classes and I also have time after school during the week and on weekends. While I currently do not offer pets in my home, I will respect your home by keeping it clean and untouched by the time I leave. Now I will keep your pet company if that is the service you’d like and by doing so, we might empty their toys on the ground and play for a bit. That being said, it will be cleaned up and so will messes made by their food or water before I leave the house as well.
About: With over four years of dog-sitting experience, I have cared for dogs of various sizes and breeds, as well as multiple dogs at once. I provide tailored care including walks, feeding, daytime care, and overnight stays. I have experience with senior care as my own dog is almost 17! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I will make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you are gone! As a first-semester graduate student dog sitting is the perfect fit for my schedule. Whether it’s daytime care or overnight stays I am available to meet their needs. I am committed to providing your pet with love and care they deserve, all while you have peace of mind! I prioritize your pets safety and comfort by following their established routine and ensuring a safe environment. I take the time to get to know each pets needs. Whether it is food preferences, exercise, or any special instructions. I make sure your home is treated with respect, maintaining a clean and calm environment for your pet. Trust is essential to me, and I will keep in touch with you regularly, sending updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Gabriela was amazing with Teddy and Tessie. They get very excited when meeting someone new and they were but her calm manner made them calmer too. Look forward to booking Gabriela again 🐶❤️🐶”

About: I worked at PetSmart for approximately 5 years & have experience with basic grooming needs. I have grown up with both dogs & cats & am always the one friends/family call when they are in need of someone to watch their babies. I truly just love animals of all varieties. I work from home & am able to stay with your pets while you are out of town or at work yourself. I can check in on them during the day, take them for walks, & ensure they are fed and well loved. I am also able to stay at your home when needed. I am happy to abide by whatever guidelines you set to ensure your baby is safe & your home is well cared for as well.
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages from kittens and puppies to seniors. Including potty training, regular training, food aggression, dietary needs, medication administration, exercising, basic commands, diabetes injections, aggression/behavioral issues. I work real estate so I have a lot of down time in between work to stop in and check in, walk and play with your furbabies. I will follow any routines owners have to a T and don’t mind any special requests. My only goal is to make your furbaby happy and your mind at ease while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I have been around animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My own dog has since passed away, but I helped care for him throughout his later years, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and providing extra comfort and support. Because of this experience, I am comfortable giving medications, helping pets stick to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection. Whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, providing activities, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time cuddling and keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Since I am currently a college student and school is out, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I also work as a babysitter, but Rover is my top priority job. I make sure to schedule my time carefully so that every pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply spending quality time together, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Because of my flexible availability, I can easily accommodate different routines and help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have three cats who, despite not paying rent, are very well taken care of! Caring for them is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure they receive their daily feedings, fresh water, interactive playtime, plenty of attention, and daily litter box cleanings to keep their environment clean and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible so their pets feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable care, maintain a clean environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a babe and have cared for animals with increasing responsibility for the past 25 years. I am so excited to welcome your furbaby into my home. Rest assured that I’ll treat your lovely furbaby as if they were my own. Please mention if your furbaby/furbabies have any special care requirements that I should know about in order to provide them expert-level care. There is something unique about every pup so tell me what makes your furbaby standout!! Please be aware that I share my home with a super friendly, energetic but extremely lazy Basset Hound named the Lady Camila. I do require a short meet and greet if I am to board your pup(s) in my home to make sure the dogs get along and whatnot. Please feel free to ask any and every question you have. I am 100% transparent with the services I provide to you and your furbaby/furbabies. My goal to leave you feeling confident your furbaby is is in good hands so you can enjoy your plans worry and (most importantly) stress-free. I have a full time job so I am only available on the weekends as to provide you with utmost service and dedication. I also have transportation so I am equally able to provide my exceptional services at your location as well. I rely on you to instruct me as to how to feed your pup. If your pup has special care requirements, I rely on you to instruct me as to how to best care for your baby. Nevertheless, please let me know if your pup is food aggressive.
About: I have learned a lot from our one dog especially over the years. I attended trainings for him to help him and he is thriving today. I have also done dog walking with wag for a year. I may be able to do some services after 4pm during the week. I am available mostly every weekend for services. It all depends on the service needed. I won't be offering services in my own home since our one dog suffers with anxiety. I will follow the rules with whatever the client is saying. I will ensure a safe and loving environment for your babies.
About: I have been caring for pets, including dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and more, in people's homes for 10 years, developing a wide range of skills. Additionally, my work at a pet resort that offers boarding, daycare, grooming, and training has provided me with extensive training and experience. I have successfully managed up to five dogs in one household simultaneously and, having three dogs of my own, am well-equipped to handle any situation with ease. My lifelong love for animals has driven me to ensure they receive the best care possible. Whether it's providing the right environment, understanding their needs, or simply giving them the affection they deserve. Pet care fits well into my routine. I currently live in Camp Hill and work part-time at a pet resort, which allows me plenty of time to care for your furry companion. My typical hours for work are either 6:00 am to 12:00 pm or 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. This fall, as I return to college in Scranton, I’ll continue offering pet sitting services in the Scranton area and will come back for breaks around the holidays. I’ll make sure to stay in touch and would love to be updated on how your pets are doing whenever I’m not around. In caring for pets, in my home, at work, and in clients' homes, I bring a strong background in safety and responsiveness. My experience as a lifeguard and working with animals has honed my ability to manage emergencies and provide care. Originally trained in human CPR, I've adapted these skills for pets, allowing me to handle medical situations effectively. At work, I use skills in being able to quickly assess when a pet is in pain or something isn’t right and know how to act immediately. Additionally, having cared for an elderly dog that lived to 17, I’m experienced in managing age-related health concerns and providing attentive care to ensure pets remain comfortable and well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Throop
Joanne was an absolutely amazing sitter, went above and beyond for our dog and the cats. Was able to come do a very last second meet and greet and followed all of the instructions tp the letter. Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter to drop in for the day!

Megan was great with Lennox during drop-ins while I was away from home for a full day. She let him out, sat with him inside and on the back deck, gave him treats and kept him well-fed and happy. Her definitely seemed to have had a joyful day and Megan was reliable, courteous and very responsive with communications before, during and after her visits. I plan to utilize her expertise again soon.

Mary is an exceptional pet sitter for my puppy. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cares about his well-being. She takes the time to engage him in play and keeps him happy and active, which gives me great peace of mind. Mary follows all instructions perfectly and is consistently reliable and communicative. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again!

Celine was lovely! Our pups connected right away, so it was obvious they would be fine. Celine asked great questions about our pups medical history, personalities, etc., and shared her experiences working with animals. Our pups had a great time! We already planned more visits for her to take care of our babies!

Summer is great! We love having her as our rover. She goes above and beyond for us every visit. She’s very communicative during visits with pictures and updates. She follows all directions and is very reliable. I feel very at ease leaving our animals in summers care. If you need a sitter, I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Throop stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Throop choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Throop with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
