About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and genuinely love getting to know all their different personalities (whether they’re energetic and goofy, super cuddly, shy or anxious, dramatic, or a little mischievous 🐾) and I’ll always take the time to get to know both you and your fur baby(s)! I’m currently in college majoring in Biology and hope to pursue a career in pet grooming in the future! I’m also taking classes focused on dog psychology and body language, which has made me even more interested in understanding how animals think, communicate, and interact with people, other animals, and the world around them. I offer overnight house sitting only and always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Expect lots of photos/videos throughout stays! I give frequent updates and commmunicate as much as possible so you can relax knowing your pets are doing well. 🐶🐱 I do have experience working with senior and anxious pets and am comfortable administering oral medications, ointments, and other basic care needs (though I do not give injections at this time). Multi-pet households are absolutely welcome, though I do ask for a rundown of how your pets interact with one another, including any food aggression, jealousy, anxiety, or behavioral concerns so everyone stays safe. For the comfort of both you and your pets, I do require bookings to be requested at least 14 days in advance whenever possible. This allows enough time to schedule a meet & greet and make sure everyone is a good fit before confirming! I typically respond within the hour during the daytime, though replies may be slower between 9 PM and 8 AM. I'm sure this is stated somewhere on the site, but please also keep Rover’s cancellation policy in mind when booking. Any bookings confirmed with me that are cancelled within 7 days of the start date are subject to a 50% cancellation fee. Reviews are always incredibly appreciated after a stay! ♡ They help me continue growing and allow future clients to feel more comfortable booking with me and my services. Thanks for reading, and I hope to meet you and your pets soon! 🐾♡ I have a very flexible schedule and am doing online college so I’m able to stay and give potty breaks as often as needed. I am open to meet & greets whenever works for you! When house sitting, I do my best to keep pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routines and paying attention to their behavior, comfort, and overall wellbeing. I’m very mindful about safety, both for the pets themselves and the home environment, and always make sure animals aren’t able to get into anything they shouldn’t. I care for every home with respect and will make sure you return to a clean, calm house. ♡
About: I've taken care of animals my whole adult life but most recently my 2 senior dogs (brother and sister) passed away within 4 months of each other 💔 I miss loving on them but not ready for a full time commitment, so Rover seemed like the perfect answer! I will provide quality care for your pups and offer plenty of companionship and play time as well as walks and feeding and the normal care. It would be an honor to give your pups the attention and love they want! I work from home so they would have company almost continuously except when I'm out running errands. I have lots of dog toys and beds and blankets so they will always have a warm inviting spot to hang near me in my office while I work. Depending on your dogs needs, they will be walked and fed on their schedule and I can give meds as well if needed. We are super dog friendly in that they are allowed to roam freely and be on the furniture for snuggles if they want. If you have them crate trained then I will follow any crate rules as well. In your home, your rules apply!
About: I've taken care of animals since I was young, but especially since I got my own cat around seven years ago. I'm deeply passionate about animals and animal care, and absolutely adore being around pets of all shapes and sizes!! Additionally, I've worked as a veterinary assistant, so I have much experience with all different breeds and personalities! I'm currently between jobs otherwise, so I'm happy to be wherever, whenever! I'm happy to fit absolutely anyone into my schedule, whether on short notice or in advance. I follow instructions very dutifully and will attend to your pet exactly how you instruct me to. I love to take pictures and videos, so you'll get plenty of content of your fur baby while I'm caring for them!! I prioritize their safety above all else.
About: I’ve always enjoyed being with dogs and cats more than people. I am a cat mom currently. I’ll always be reliable and responsible. I love doing it for the pets. I work part time but I make a sitting work anytime. My schedule is flexible as long as I know beforehand. I always want to make sure the pets are well looked after. I have an indoor cat that loves to go outside. I sit with him until he is ready to come inside. I never leave him unsupervised. I will always care and be responsible for any pets like their my own.

Aaron did a great job! He was able to provide wonderful care for my dog Royal. First as his dog Walker and then Royal sustained an injury and Aaron would simply come and keep him company. I was very comforted to know that Roy was in good hands and I couldn’t be there. Taking care of. I highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Youngstown is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 190 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 Youngstown. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Youngstown after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 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:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
