“Jessica and her family were absolutely amazing with Marley! 🐾 They treated him like one of their own from the moment he arrived. He even got to go on a car ride (which he loves!), enjoyed a few walks including a bonus third walk! and received so much love and snuggle time from the kids. It was clear he was in heaven the entire time. He came home happy, relaxed, and very calm tonight… which all the doodle moms and dads know is not the usual doodle energy level 😂 I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. We would absolutely book with Jessica and her sweet family again! 💛”
“First time with Briana. Thank you for accommodating my two fur babies even with such short notice. I appreciate your flexibility. Receiving pics truly helped a lot, when fur mommy is away. My babies are returning soon.”
“Jasmine had a daytime stay with Rochelle and her lovely family. I was so happy to see how much her children enjoyed having Jasmine. They were all calling her a princess and asking when she could come back. I would highly recommend this sweet sitter ☺️🐾🐾”
“My girl Luna loves other dogs but is nervous around new people. Ronald was very patient with her, and his two dogs got along well with Luna. She was a happy and healthy dog when I picked her up. He also sent pictures of Luna throughout the day, and you can tell she enjoyed herself. Ronald has a big, fenced back yard for dogs to play. Definitely recommend!”
“Chona was great with our dobie - took him in after a very last minute request, which is so difficult to find lately! She provided lots of photos & updates, which we greatly appreciate. She was also very communicative before & during his stay with her. We will definitely be booking with her again, thank you so much Chona!🐶🤎”
“June is the best! Bella spent the day with June and her dog Ceaser. Bella is a special needs dog and June knew just how to work with her to make her feel comfortable. June made sure to keep me posted and updated on Bella throughout her stay. She sent lots of pictures so I could see how she was doing. Her dog Ceaser was great with Bella too. Bella has become very attached to June. She also loves Ceaser, her new gentle giant friend. I strongly recommend June if you’re looking for a very responsible caring sitter for your pup. I know Bella is in good hands with June, and will be using her as our sitter in the future.”
“Completely the best ! I’m on a weekly day care with her and my dog loves her and she is always happy to go there . Super professional and takes care of my baby very well. She comes home tired from all the fun. I have a picture of her knocked out with her treat right next to her . Love how well she takes care of my baby ! Love love love !”
“Irina is a lifesaver! I reached out at the last minute the night before, and she responded immediately, accommodating our needs. I have two small senior dogs, and she was very attentive to them. She sent me videos and photos of them throughout the entire sitting. I felt very relieved knowing my babies were safe and at peace. We will definitely hire Irina again for all our future sitting needs.”
“Art was friendly upon meeting, but most especially to my Bear!! Always gave me updates and was super accommodating with my last minute request! I definitely recommend him and will use his services again! Thank you for watching my pup Art!”
“Kriti and his husband were so great! I would come back and ask them for my fur baby again. Their placr is safe and clean, also the neighborhood is good for dog walking.Kriti seems very sweet, kind and easygoing. She sent me messages and photos while I am away. I recommend her for all furbaby families. Thank you Kriti!! Cookie will come back to see you again ♥️♥️”
“This is my first time using Rover. Hortensia arranged a meeting a few days prior to us entrusting our dog, Honey, to her care. During this meeting, she showed us her home and yard, where the dogs typically relax. Honey quickly settled in and appeared quite comfortable. Hortensia provided excellent care for Honey and followed all the instructions we provided. We will most certainly reach out to her again for future pet care needs for Honey. Thank you Hortensia!”
“Reginay was kind and accommodating. As far as we can tell, she took care of our pups well, and respected their space when one of ours was slow to trust new people. She even came to our home a few days ahead to meet the dogs, at our request. All in all, I would recommend Reginay for short term per sitting or day care.”
“Chloe has adjusted so well with Debbie and Gerry! Today was our move day and it took a little longer than expected they were both so gracious and took care of Chloe a little longer. These two are the Best!!”
“Gloria was amazing with our Frenchie puppy Oscar. She was able to accommodate on such short notice. She sent pictures throughout the stay and was responsive via messages. Oscar had a lot of fun and came home exhausted! Will definitely book with her again!”
“Weilin is the best! She provided pictures through out the day to show how my puppy Luna was doing. She was very detailed about what activities Luna had done throughout the day and was sure to ask what was allowed and what wasn’t. Luna had such a great time and was so tired she fell asleep early. She’s very responsive for messages and overall will take great care of your pup! Highly recommend her!”
“It was my grandson’s first birthday and I did not want my small dog and her foot. I had a meet and greet with Joanne and I could tell that she was definitely a dog lover. She came and picked Dolly up at the house and dropped her off at 5 PM, she sent me pictures throughout the day of my dog. Super nice person and a dog lover. I will definitely use her services again.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Youngstown commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,080 sitters in Youngstown, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
