“Aubriana was really great with my dog. Aside from walking, he takes meds twice a day and she was able to do that for him as well. He has a lot of energy during the first 15-20 mins of his walk and she was able to handle him just fine. She also kept me posted on when she arrived/walked/left. I would use her again.”

About: I will fully cater to your dogs needs, including diabetic and senior dogs-over 20 years of loving and doting on doggies! I’m able to solely focus on your dogs wants and needs. I have a nice sized deck for fresh air and sunbathing (once the weather warms up!). I don’t have pets of my own anymore so I really enjoy having new friends to bond with. I also enjoy the reassurance that I’m able to provide dog families knowing their furry friend is in good hands, while they focus on the reason their away from them in the first place. ❤️ I will do my very best to accommodate any routine that your pet is normally used to-and I always appreciate detailed instructions and tips that you’re willing to provide me. Your pets aren’t left alone during the day. At least one walk a day, more if weather permits- I try to always make the most of good weather in this area! Overall, I’m as active as the dog wants or needs to be.

“She completely exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely took the time to make sure my dog felt loved and comfortable. After the walk, she stayed and spent extra time with my dog simply because she cared. Then I walked into my kitchen after an exhausting day of work and discovered she had washed my dishes—something I never expected and certainly never asked her to do. That simple act of kindness spoke volumes about the kind of person she is. In a world where people often do only what’s required, she went far beyond that. She is kind, hardworking, thoughtful, and has an incredible work ethic. It’s so refreshing to see a young person with this level of integrity, compassion, and initiative. She is truly one of a kind, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She didn’t just care for my dog—she left me believing there are still genuinely exceptional people out there.”

About: Hello! My name is Baylor, and I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. For the past four years, I've worked as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive experience caring for animals and ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and safe. My veterinary background allows me to confidently administer medications, recognize changes in behavior, and provide attentive care for pets with special needs. In addition to my clinical experience, I've been pet sitting for many of my veterinary clients over the past few years. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently taking care of pets as my full-time job, allowing me to be very available and have widespread flexibility to fit your scheduling needs. I am able to care for your dog or cat in whichever way feels most comfortable for you, whether that is a puppy who needs training, walks, and crated time, or a senior cat that requires more frequent, attentive visits and a strict schedule of medication. Given my background, I am also happy to provide additional services such as baths, nail trimmings, and gland expressions when necessary.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Throop on Rover is $14 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $20 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 333 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Throop. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Throop. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Throop after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Throop. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
