“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.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds both small and large and everything in between. Every dog has its own personality, energy level and unique needs. I take the time to understand each dog’s communication style so they feel comfortable, safe and loved while in my care. Your pup will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care. Although my Rover profile is new, my experience with dogs is not. As a Rover customer myself, I realized there was a real need for reliable, loving pet sitters in our area. After seeing how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, I decided to become a caregiver myself. I’m home weekday evenings and all weekends. I have reliable transportation and pride myself on being dependable. Whether you need care planned in advance, have a last-minute schedule change or just life’s short notice events, I will do my best to be there for you and your pets. If my book states unavailable, please message regardless as I may be able to accommodate your requests. My home is a safe, dog and puppy-friendly environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. If providing drop in and walking services, I will respect your property and leave your home and pets as secured as found.
About: 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. 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Throop
This was my first time ever hiring someone on Rover to feed and take care of my cat while we were away on vacation. Victoria followed instructions to the T. She was punctual and did a wonderful job caring for my cat. Thank you so much Victoria! I will use your services again on my next vacation!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Throop on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 360 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Throop. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Throop. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
