“I will definitely be boarding with Marina again in the future! She has amazing accommodations for the fur babies she’s house sitting, and I got so many pictures of my dog having an absolute blast. They have a gorgeous fenced in play pen specifically to use as a dog yard, and everything is so nicely kept.”
“Ashton was great, I was very nervous using this service, but she is awesome. She sent pictures, gave her a bath at the end of the stay, and my puppy was happy and healthy when I picked her up. Definitely will be using this service and Ashton again.”
“Our dog Tink stayed with Angela and her fam for 7 nights while we were down at the beach for vaca. We got pics and updates along the way. Our dog was very happy and well cared for. She is so tired now from all the good playtime. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“My plans for someone to watch my dogs feel through last minute and Annie saved my trip. Luna Roxie were well cared for and came home tired and happy. If I ever need a sitter again I will definitely try to use her. Thanks for loving them and keeping them safe Anne. You're awesome!”
“Aaron was super! Definitely lived up to his star rating - he was able to take my fur baby on short notice and give me peace of mind to leave on a week long trip. Aaron treated my boy so well, he didn’t want to go home with me at pickup time! I also got daily pictures of my pet that are frame worthy - Aaron has a knack for photo artistry. This was a great experience and I highly recommend Aaron as a caring provider who makes it fun for your pet. Great experience with this sitter!”
“Max was there just for an overnight trial with Shannon. Max had a great time and didn’t want to leave when I went to pick him up. His first class is very positive.”
“I would highly recommend Rob and Wendy! They were both incredibly kind and caring to my dog. They kept me up to date on how my dog was doing, which was very fun to see pictures of what he was up to! Lastly, they are great people who love dogs!”
“Destiny took great care of our 3 dogs! She sent pictures and updates each day and even got my picky eater to eat well. One of my dogs really dislikes being left at sitters but bringing him home, he was happy and playful so I know he was well cared for and enjoyed his stay with Destiny. They all almost seem sad to leave their furiends! Thanks Destiny! We hope to have you care for our pups in the future! 🐾”
“Kinsey and her family are awesome! They treated Oreo like their own, he received the best care while we were gone. She provided updates and sent pictures. I highly recommend her and I definitely will book her again in the future.”
“My dog, Romeo, always has a blast at Valerie’s every time. I love that he gets along with her two dogs and they have a lot of play time together everyday in her fenced yard.”
“From the meet and greet to the end of her stay Athena enjoyed herself. Brittany provided a safe clean and loving environment and I couldn’t have been more pleased with her service. She sent plenty of pictures during Athena’s stay and she communicated every step of the way. I will definitely be booking with her again”
About: What sets me apart is my medical background and hands-on animal experience across a wide range of species. I worked veterinarian settings for 6-10 years, so I’m comfortable monitoring health changes, administering basic medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or distress. Safety and attentiveness come naturally to me. I also hold a Bachelors in agriculture, which gives me a strong understanding of animal behavior, nutrition, and proper husbandry. I regularly foster puppies and dogs, as well as cats and kittens, so I’m experienced with: • Potty training & crate training • Socialization and basic obedience • Bottle feeding & neonatal care • Senior pet comfort and mobility support Your pets won’t just be watched — they’ll be understood, monitored, and genuinely cared for like family. As a stay-at-home mom, my days are centered around caring for others — which makes pet visits a natural and dedicated part of my routine. I structure my schedule around reliable drop-ins, giving each pet calm, unhurried attention and consistent care throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules closely, refresh water, administer medications if needed, and provide attentive companionship tailored to each pet’s personality — whether that’s playtime, enrichment, quiet company, or extra cuddles. I’m respectful of your home, clean in my habits, and mindful of details. I send consistent updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, relaxed pet and a home just as you left it.
“I highly recommend Jessie and her boarding services! She took exceptional care of our needy wiener dog, providing regular updates that put our minds at ease. Our pup was very relaxed during their stay, and it was clear that he received plenty of love and attention. Jessie truly goes above and beyond for her furry guests!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Youngstown home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Youngstown.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Youngstown sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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 FL 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
