Pet Sitting in Throop

“So grateful I found Joanne! She checked in on my two cats while we were away for the weekend. They took to her right away. Joanne included pictures with her updates and brought them toys to play with. I would highly recommend Joanne.”

“Kendra was incredible with our puppy! We just moved here and needed help with him during a particularly busy week. She was so patient with him and gave him some much needed company. We’ll definitely be asking her for help again in the future :)”

“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our senior pup. I'm a worrier and she made me feel so comfortable, asking all the good questions, and provided pics during her pop in. Highly recommend.”

About: I have grown up around dogs since I was young. I know how to act around them and how they each have their own unique personalities! I will give your dog the treatment they deserve. Doing all the duties you may be too busy to do, and adding a sprinkle of love to it.🫶🏻 I am currently a college student at Marywood, so I will be doing this in my free time or whenever I can!! Also doing some work study as well. If I pet-sat I would ensure that I gave the animal the attention they needed while also giving them space as well. I am very good with reading dogs and cats body language. I’d also make sure they were fed of course and walked every hour or as needed!! If I were to petsit a cat then cleaning out the litter box. :)

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life from small to big, Terriars, Rottweilers, German Shepard, etc. I currently have a yellow lab named Rory. I have experience with all age dogs from puppies and elderly dog. I currently work full time 8-4:30 on weekday so I would be willing to come early morning, late afternoons, or nights. I am free anytime on weekends. I have an overly friendly Labrador at home who is very well trained. He goes on a walk at least once a day if not more but absolutely loves his big side yard where he gets to sunbathe! He has his spot on the couch where he naps most of the day away.

About: As a dog lover, I know how important it is to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of. I am more than happy to spend time playing with and walking dogs, or if theyre more docile, I'll sit with them and make sure they have the love they need daily. I love all dogs and will not turn down based on breed. I'll make sure the dogs are fed properly (adhering to scheduled eating times), have plenty of fresh water, and get nice long walks in! I'll gladly take them to a dog park so we can play! I also dont mind walking dogs in winter. I currently work full time Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. I am able to check on any pet before work, between 5:00-7:00 am and after work from 5:00pm on. On the weekends I am available any time! I will follow any rules set up by the pet parents. I can easily crate dogs, and I can administer medicines to them with ease.

About: I’m new to Rover but have always loved animals! I’ve helped care for family pets by feeding them, taking them on walks, and giving them attention and love. Even though I don’t have professional experience yet, I’m super responsible, gentle, and quick to learn. I’m calm and patient, and I always pay close attention to your pet’s needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, treat your pet like my own, and keep you updated so you feel at ease. I work a part-time job, but I’m available on weekdays in the mornings and afternoons. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to spend time with your pet—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely and keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I respect your space, stay tidy, and give your pet my full attention while I’m there. Safety is always a priority—whether that means double-checking doors, using leashes properly, or making sure they’re never left unsupervised. I want both you and your pet to feel completely safe and cared for!

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover based in Scranton, PA with years of experience caring for cats of all personalities and needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just providing comfort and companionship, I know how to make feline friends feel safe and loved. While my primary experience has been with cats, I'm excited to expand my care to include dogs and other animals as well. I'm always eager to learn, and I approach every pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique needs. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and detail-oriented. I’m more than happy to follow your exact instructions to ensure your pet’s routine stays just the way they like it. And if I ever have any questions or concerns during a visit, I’ll reach out right away—your peace of mind is just as important as your pet’s well-being. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! I am currently a full time hairstylist but have early morning, afternoon, and evening times available throughout the week. I am off Sunday and Monday so I have full availability those days! I am currently only able to care for your animals at your own home as my apartment does not allow dogs. But I will be sure to leave your home just as you left it and treat your pets like they are my own!

About: I have an older female dog who needs help with daily activities and I will go on runs with your dogs to get them exercised and play with them for hours! Never miss a good brushing either Sitting for pets for perfectly with my schedule by I can go up to houses in the morning to visit and do their needs before going into work in the morning and go back at 12 to visit them again do my school work and come right back later after my second job to hang out once again! I tend to watch my animals 24/7 if I let them outside, make sure they are safe and there is no danger around. I personally pick up stuff that could harm or endanger them

“Aubriana took great care of our pups! We’ll have her back for sure.”

About: Having cared for many dogs throughout my college years, I’ve learned the importance of providing attentive, safe, and loving care to ensure your dog feels comforted and secure in your absence. My goal is to make the time apart as stress-free as possible, by maintaining routines, offering companionship, and keeping your furry friend happy until you return. I currently am working 4 days a week with availability Friday evenings and Saturday-Monday all day. I am willing to make multiple stops at your house or stay for a few hours if that makes your furry friend less stressed. I’ll take your dog on engaging walks tailored to their energy level and needs, allowing them to explore and stay active. Playtime is also a priority whether it’s tug-of-war, fetch, or other favorite activities. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of fun and mental stimulation. My goal is to ensure they feel content and cared for so they can relax and be comfortable until you return.

About: I have always been, and will always be an animal person. I have 2 dogs of my own currently: Lincoln (11 year old chihuahua), Ripley (3 year old Pit Mix); I also have a bunny named Bonsai (9 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.

“Exceptional sitter for our 2 dogs while we went on vacation to Arizona! Very thorough, thoughtful & prompt! Will definitely use Kim next time we need a sitter!”

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: I’ve had years of experience taking care and walking dogs of all sizes! My family has had dogs as large as pit/lab mixes and as small as a Yorkie! I believe that a house is not a home without a pet and having extra paws to help take care of them is a passion of mine! I’d be happy to meet you and spend time with your pup before booking if you’d feel more comfortable that way, too! I am currently on summer break and have a lot of time to dedicate to pet friends! My fiancé is home with my dog so I am able to help others more! In a home I always enter as gently as possible for dogs to get a chance to smell me and get some pets. After allowing them to get comfortable, I’ll talk to them about a walk or a treat or to get a toy to play! I like to make dogs comfortable around me before bringing them outside. I’ll always follow pet owner instructions whether it means to walk a dog with a harness, in a fenced in yard or on grass only. I am happy to help and want to make you and your dogs happy!

About: Having pets since I was 7, I have long understood the importance of animal care. Since I was in high school, friends, family, and neighbors have asked for my help in pet sitting and house sitting. Over the years I have taken care of horses, goats, sheep, rodents, reptiles, insects, fish, birds, and of course dogs and cats. Needless to say, I am not afraid of any animal and believe all living creatures deserve the top quality care. I have two years of experience majoring in Wildlife Care, and have taken many courses in animal husbandry. This, along with my Dog and Cat first aid certification through the Red Cross, has made me fantastic at caring for the medical aspect of animal care. I can administer medication and handle emergencies with a clear head and a focus on the animal's well being. In the past, I have taken care of my own elderly/disabled dogs as well as those of my friends and family. This includes dogs in hospice care that have needed to be carried. While I have less experience with puppies than I do elderly dogs, I have raised and trained my own current dog from 1 y.o.. I am not afraid of the mess or energy level of puppies and puppy teeth don't bother me! I am a barista and am returning to school in the fall. With odd hours for a regular job, I know I can lend my services to someone who needs it! I take care of animals in the way the owner sees best, whether that's yard time, or walks, or both! I have no problem crating a dog, cleaning up after an animal, and giving medications or food.

“Alexis was fantastic with our lovebug Prince! She followed all directions, helped with our heat in our house and kept us informed if there was anything we needed to know. I couldn’t recommend her enough! I know I left out dogs/cats in good hands. Would deff use her again!”

About: I will fully cater to your dogs needs, including diabetic and senior dogs- 20 years of loving and doting on dogs. 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.
