About: I have taken care of animals my whole life including horses, rabbits, chickens, hamsters and turtles. I have several dogs and cats now. Love them all. I do gig jobs as a driver so I am out and about a lot, know the area and can stop by anytime after 11 am. I will feed, walk, play with dogs. I will clean litter boxes for cats if need be. Please leave written instructions for all of them.
“Marina and Natalie were amazing with my Poseidon! He’s a smart but stubborn Shepherd and they handled him well! He immediately took to them both! I will definitely be using her again, and may have them care for my other pets as well! Thanks again!”

About: Lived with some type of pet a majority of my life since I was a kid. I've personally owned a jack-tzu, and two ferrets. Due to being alone and working alot, I had to rehome my pets because i did not have the time to give what they needed. Just recently retired and starting something new. I love animals and for what I know they love me too. (Sometimes more than their owners lol just a warning). Can't wait to give your pets the love they are missing when you are away. I have a open availability. I am free weekends, nights and some holidays. As long as I know in advance for holidays, I should be fine with watching your pups or cat. I have a large fenced back yard for you pups to play and a nice beach area to go for walks. If I must, I could wash your pup as well. Not professional but enough to get them clean.
About: I had have pets my whole life, I have been the one to train and take care of them! I couldn’t imagine my life without pets. I am open right now, I am a co-owner of a cleaning business. During winter I am about 5 days out of the week open. I have a fenced in back yard, my dogs will be crated, I have a spacious home. We have a lot of toys and bones to play with
About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.
About: I’ve been exposed to dogs and taken care of dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with all types of dogs’ personalities and am completely comfortable with bathing, walking, feeding, and playing with all types and ages of dogs. I’m currently an undergraduate student in college home for the summer! I am looking to save for the upcoming semester, so my availability is extremely flexible! I am additionally only enrolled in one online class this summer, which takes up very little of my time. I am a very understanding and patient person. When it comes to taking care of your fur baby, I will make sure that both you and your pet are comfortable with me.
About: I’ve taken care of many different animals in my life and I believe that is my life’s passion, I plan on going to school to become a vet tech so I’d love to get as much experience as I can! (I have a cat of my own but I put her in a different room when sitting other animals, so if my cat is your worry, there’s no need!) I am a stay at home wife, so I’m completely free. I have all the time to give your fur babies all the love and care they need. I have both a front and backyard so the doggies have plenty of space to go bathroom, run, and play around. Inside I also have lots of cat toys for all the kitties to play with.
About: I’ve cared to dogs of all ages and sizes since I was a teenager. I am also able to care for multiple animals at once. I love caring for all the fur babies! I have a full time job but am an available most afternoons after 3 and weekends! I am willing to be flexible depending on what works best for you and your animals needs. I am trustworthy, able to follow directions well, and give genuine care and love to your animals while you are away. I have always loved and enjoyed animals and value your trust with them!

About: With over 30 years of pet care experience, I have dedicated my life to providing compassionate, reliable care for dogs, cats, and other animals. My love for animals began in childhood and has grown into a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I specialize in taking care of puppies, working with anxious pets, and building trust with animals of all temperaments. Known for my ability to connect with even the most timid or challenging pets, I strive to ensure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I offer flexible, reliable care tailored to your pet's individual needs. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply spending quality time keeping them company, I'm happy to stop by as often as needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I will ensure they are fed, watered, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention. My priority is to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable, while providing you with peace of mind knowing they are receiving the same level of care I would give my own pets.

About: I’ve been around animals since I’ve been born. I’ve fostered puppies and helped rescues. It’s truly a passion of mine. I’m looking to help others with their fur babies so I don’t buy more of my own 🤪 I work evenings, so I’m home a good part of the day to give your pet plenty of love. Between me and my husband’s schedule, no pet will be alone for more than 6 hours ❤️ I have a fenced yard, and two dogs of my own who are up to date on shots. We feed twice a day, and walk often. I can promise your fur baby will be cared for as well as I would care for my own. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 278 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Youngstown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Youngstown. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Youngstown.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Youngstown. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
