“Victoria appears to have a great personality and was very respectful of our multi-pet home. She took our home/pet care instructions seriously and did a great job at keeping 5 cats and 2 guinea pigs taken care of over multiple days. I'm much more impressed that she spent the full 30 minutes or sometimes a little longer to finish up her drop-in; others have not. I would certainly recommend.”
“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!”
“Ryane is very quick to respond to Rover requests for booking. She is also very reliable and comes when she says she will be there. We had a quick Meet and Greet before her drop in visit to feed and "potty" my boys. She kindly sent a photo of them, showing them happily eating their dinners! Thank you, Ryane!”
“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 have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me. I look forward to meeting your pets!
“Megan is a great resource for us and a reliable help with Lennox. She’s consistently on time, provides quick and timely feedback and updates, and Lennox enjoys her company and play time. Would definitely recommend!”
“Mary did a great job checking in our cats while we were away! Our cats are very shy, and she took the time to find them and take a pic for us to make sure they were ok. By the end she had them coming out to see her during the visit. Would highly recommend!”
“Kendra was able come take care of my two cats after I had to schedule a very last-minute drop in. She was very communicative and did a wonderful job taking care of them. I’m super grateful to have been able to book her!”
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.
“We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter, Brittany! She was kind, trustworthy, and took such great care of our dog, Macie. Our puppy absolutely loved her, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Olivia was great! She took really good care of our boys, including our senior dachshund. She was communicative and always sent photos when she came to feed them! Definitely going to use Olivia again!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs since I was little, from tiny friends to big, gentle giants. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable and will send timely updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are in good hands. I have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs and will happily stick to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable. While I wasn’t raised with cats in my home, I’ve had experience caring for them as well. Neighbors, family, friends, and even strangers have trusted me with their pets for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and more. I can’t wait to meet you and get to know your pets! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! Friday-Monday I am available around the clock for check-ins, walks, playtime, and feeding. Since I am available in your home, I will stick to your already established safety measures to keep your pet safe while you are away!
“This was the first time we left our two cats together for any extended time, and were very happy with how well they were taken care of! Kacey and Kelly were very communicative and friendly, and our pets warmed up to them quickly- would highly recommend!”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 359 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.

- 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 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.
