Personalized care for your dog or cat - Youngtown
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Youngtown
“Stephanie is AMAZING! My pup loved the time with her. She's very quick to respond and great at communicating while you are away. Her home is very welcoming and my dog was so tired when she got home from having so much fun! She is a top choice and I look forward to boarding with her again!”
“I highly recommend Kathleen and Steve if you need someone to take care of your furr-baby. My puppy had a great time and I'm sure he loved his walk to the Starbucks!”
“Celynda was amazing with Liv. She took care of her like she was her own. We never had to wonder how Liv was doing as Celynda was very good about sending updates and photos. I would definitely book with her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone else in need of a pet sitter. She is sure to provide excellent care!”
“We arranged to have a "Meet & Greet," prior to an overnight boarding for our furry son "Murray." As everyone already knows, our furry friends are our family and want the very best for them! Mitch was a previous "Pet Store Owner." which we found as additionally helpful to sit with our doggie. Both Mitch and his wife Margaret are very friendly and outgoing... and we also wanted to meet their dog "Shelby," who is a sweetheart. Their home is clean and organized with a very welcoming patio/backyard which is fenced in, with some sun and shade provided by trees and bushes. Murray stayed for an overnight and we could tell he had a good time by how tired he was when he came home. Mitch took Murray for a 40" walk and sent a few photos with comments. We'd absolutely use Mitch again and recommend them to mind your furry family member!”
“Kelly is an amazing sitter! My dog Dumpling immediately felt right at home with her and her family. She is considerate and attentive and I felt secure during our vacation knowing that Dumpling was cared for and loved. My dog is a cuddlebug and she had the opportunity to cuddle to her heart’s content. ❤️ I will definitely book with Kelly again!”
“First time I ever used Rover and first time I ever left my dog with a stranger. Rae was extremely kind and loving to my dog. She sent me text messages and pictures that I very much appreciated. My doggie was very well taken care of from Rae. She kept her safe and followed the instructions I reviewed with her. I would recommend Rae and will use her again.”
“Myron and Pat took the time to get to know my dog Ace during the meet and greet and addressed my concerns about him having an issue with marking indoors during a previous stay. They coordinated a very smooth dropoff and Ace showed no signs of anxiety or distress. From the pictures, it was clear that Ace was very comfortable and received lots of attention and lap time. He did not have a marking or barking issue during this stay and I think it's because he was very comfortable there. This is one of the best Rover experiences I've had-would definitely recommend!”
“I highly recommend Kara and Chris for your pet sitting. Kara was friendly and so attentive to my big boy lab. He had a great time there, lots of love and attention, photos too. Great back yard for running and playing.”
“If I could give Isabel 10 stars I would. She is a great sitter. She has such a kind heart, is very empathetic, and provides the royal treatment. You can see she sincerely cares about our Mello. Not only is she good with him, but she is also easy to do business with. I would trust Mello with her anytime.”

“Sierra & Jason L. were life savers! We had to leave town for a family emergency and needed someone to take care of our 16 year old dog, Sasha for several days.

Sasha was well cared for and even made a few new friends. We will definitely reach out to Sierra & Jason L. whenever we need to board Sasha.”
“From the moment we dropped off Scorch, Chuck was friendly and welcoming. Communication throughout was excellent, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident leaving Scorch in such a clean and secure environment. Scorch came home happy and well taken care of, which really says it all. We'll definitely be using Chuck's services again!”

But, she updated me with pictures and how well my cat did throughout the night, and while she was there. He received so much love and attention, which really helped me relax while I was gone! She even left me a sweet note for my return! I can not recommend her enough!!”

About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I grew up on a farm in rural upstate New York, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. I am very comfortable handling animals with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Because of that background, I’m calm, observant, and confident when it comes to animal care. I understand how important consistency, safety, and attention are, whether it’s feeding routines, exercise, or just spending quality time with your pet. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every pet with patience, respect, and care like they’re my own. ⸻ 🐶 My Experience * Lifelong hands-on experience with farm and household animals * Comfortable with large, high-energy, or strong dogs * Experienced with shy, independent, or senior pets * Confident managing multiple animals at once * Familiar with feeding schedules, cleaning, and basic care routines ⸻ ❤️ My Care Style I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

About: I have owned and cared for many animals since I was a kid and have professionally cared for animals for 3 years. I currently have 3 feline fur babies aged 12, 10, and 3 years old. One is special needs. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and birds. This includes baby, special needs, and elderly animals of all sorts.

I'm willing to work out scheduling with you and figure out how to best meet your pets needs!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience with all types of breeds, sizes, and personalities. My parents currently have a Pit Bull and a Labrador back home in the Valley, so I’m very comfortable caring for energetic, strong, and playful dogs. I’m an active person who enjoys spending time with dogs beyond just the basics. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, visiting the dog park, or simply giving them plenty of attention, I make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I also enjoy reinforcing basic training, especially with puppies. I can help with potty training, reducing unwanted biting, and practicing simple commands like sit and roll over using positive reinforcement and consistency. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As a full-time college student, I have a consistent class schedule with mornings and afternoons open on different days, giving me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I usually start my day at the gym before my 8:00 AM class,or whenever it best fits my schedule, so I’m already up and active early. When I’m not in class, I enjoy spending time outdoors, making it easy to give dogs the exercise, playtime, and attention they deserve. I do ask for about a week’s notice for cancellations or major schedule changes whenever possible so I can coordinate my school and personal schedule. When caring for my own dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise through walks, playtime, or trips to the dog park. I keep them on a consistent feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, and spend quality time playing and giving them attention. I also like to reinforce basic training, such as potty habits, reducing unwanted biting, and practicing commands like sit and roll over. When caring for a client’s pet, I treat them like they’re my own. I follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and affection while keeping the owner updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Sydney went above and beyond with our dogs. She was thoughtful, caring, and kind. What more could you ask for when you leave your beloved pets in the care of another. We couldn’t be more grateful, and will definitely be using her as our pet walker whenever we’re out of town.”

“Stephanie is AMAZING! My pup loved the time with her. She's very quick to respond and great at communicating while you are away. Her home is very welcoming and my dog was so tired when she got home from having so much fun! She is a top choice and I look forward to boarding with her again!”

“We arranged to have a "Meet & Greet," prior to an overnight boarding for our furry son "Murray." As everyone already knows, our furry friends are our family and want the very best for them! Mitch was a previous "Pet Store Owner." which we found as additionally helpful to sit with our doggie. Both Mitch and his wife Margaret are very friendly and outgoing... and we also wanted to meet their dog "Shelby," who is a sweetheart. Their home is clean and organized with a very welcoming patio/backyard which is fenced in, with some sun and shade provided by trees and bushes. Murray stayed for an overnight and we could tell he had a good time by how tired he was when he came home. Mitch took Murray for a 40" walk and sent a few photos with comments. We'd absolutely use Mitch again and recommend them to mind your furry family member!”
“Kelly is an amazing sitter! My dog Dumpling immediately felt right at home with her and her family.

“Kimberly was amazing! She welcomed us into her home at drop off and was so patient with this anxious pet mama. Marty had a great time and we got lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“As always, Nick and Veronica and the boys are the best!!!! We are so very happy we found them. Maggie, our pup, loves this home and really would rather stay (we think)…. However, she is always happy to get there and always happy to come home. Thank you Nick and Veronica for being great Rover peeps!”
“Sierra & Jason L. were life savers! We had to leave town for a family emergency and needed someone to take care of our 16 year old dog, Sasha for several days. They responded quickly to our boarding request and we’re happy to keep her longer when we asked. We received updates with pics everyday which was great! Sasha was well cared for and even made a few new friends. We will definitely reach out to Sierra & Jason L. whenever we need to board Sasha.”
“From the moment we dropped off Scorch, Chuck was friendly and welcoming. Communication throughout was excellent, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident leaving Scorch in such a clean and secure environment. Scorch came home happy and well taken care of, which really says it all. We'll definitely be using Chuck's services again!”
“The best! It was like a playdate for my boy. He had a blast. Xavier was very communicative. Received updates and felt confident Coop was in good hands. He loved a break from apartment life to enjoy the backyard. Will definitely rebook when Coop needs a sitter again. Thanks Xavier!”
“Lori was absolutely great with my boy, sent pictures throughout his stay and reassured me that he was doing great. Her communication was great and was flexible with time pick up as well. Ollie was well taken care of, we will 100% be seeing Lori again.🩷”
“Michelle was INCREDIBLE with my baby! Sent me a ton of updates, pictures and videos. I felt completely comfortable with him in her care the entire time and would definitely book again.”
“Tiffany is very friendly. I am appreciative that she accepted to board my senior dog last minute. She was able to administer his meds in a timely manner. My dog made new friends with other dogs while he was there. I will definitely be using Tiffany again.”
“Francesca took amazing care of our fur baby, Ziggy, during his 4-day stay. She was caring, attentive, sent pics and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. Ziggy came home happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Francesca to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate boarding provider. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Ziggy—we will definitely book with you again!”
“Sherrie and her family took exceptional care of Tipton and Pixley. Throughout their stay, Sherrie provided regular updates and photos, which kept us well-informed and at ease. Tipton and Pixley even made some new doggie friends! We wouldn't hesitate to leave our dogs with Sherrie again.”
“Alyssa and her family watched our two fur babies for a weekend and they had the BEST time! I was hesitant because I’ve never used rover before but I am so happy I did! Her pups are so sweet and great playmates! We have always been told that our Staffordshire is too high energy and can be a handful at times. Alyssa was amazing with her and I only got good reports! I know they were loved and taken care of and that’s all that matters to me! Thank you Alyssa! We will definitely be seeing you again soon :)”
“I could not have asked for a better family to look over my puppy! Brooke was very kind, scheduled a meet and greet with our dogs to make sure it was a good match and kept me updated at all times. They were very attentive, caring, and kind and I would highly recommend her! Hoping to book again.”
“Christina has been such a life saver!! She’s always so accommodating when I need to have her watch my cutie last minute and is soo good at sending photo updates and responding quickly. I know I can trust her and she will always be there when I need her. Thanks again Christina!!”
