“Brigid it’s so passionate about animals and she brings that love to her pet visits! She has great communication skills and is very loving to animals. She helped greatly with my diabetic dog who requires two shots daily and gave me updates throughout the weekemd. I will definitely be booking her again!!”
“This is my first time hiring a sitter and Paola did a great job! She was very attentive to instructions and was dedicated in giving detailed reports and photos for each visit. I felt comfortable to leave my cats’ care in her hands and could focus on my vacation fully. Would definitely recommend Paola!”
“My dogs are having a great time getting to know Jennie. She sends me videos of the dogs wagging their tails and playing. She also keeps me updated on how the visits are going and sends a bunch of photos which is great! Jennie is very communicative and responsive. She has attended to all of my requests and followed any instructions I have provided. Jennie has been a pleasure to interact with and I’m glad my dogs have responded so well to her care. I highly recommend Jennie!”
About: I work for the Seeing Eye as a Dog Handler, as well as have work as a lodging worker at Morris Animal Inn. From these I learned how to work with a number of different dogs all with different personalities! My goal is to be able to provide the care that best supports each pet individually. I work a full time job Friday-Tuesday from 6:30am to 3:30am. I have an hour lunch break starting at 12. I am able to work around my work schedule to ensure your pet is getting plenty of attention. I am comfortable with outdoor or indoor play and walks. Keeping pets safe is my priority to ensure they have the best time! I’ve had experience with dogs who pull and don’t.

I will be there Rain or Shine ☀️⛅️🌧️☔️🌈 Yo Hablo Español 🙂 We have Freddy our Beagle who is 2years Old and FULL OF ENERGY!! 🐶 As a dog owner, I understand that Safety is Always First when going for walks around town.
About: Vet tech experience combined with hands-on daycare and grooming work means your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I also have experience working with horses, which has strengthened my confidence & awareness when handling animals. I'm currently working toward a career in dog training and have cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs through both professional experience and years of pet sitting. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays & Thursdays (9 AM-3:30 PM), with occasional Fridays until 2:30 PM. I'm available for... - Drop-ins: Mon, Wed, Fri (when not scheduled), & weekends - Dog Walking: Weekdays, after 3:30 PM on Tues & Thur, & weekends. - House sitting (overnight): Weekends I am flexible and happy to accommodate schedules when possible! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet's individual needs, behavior, and routine. I also have experience bathing dogs and can provide baths if needed, as long as the pet is not stressed, and it can be done safely. I prefer to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to ask/answer any questions and to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me prior.
About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs of every kind and age since I was 5 years old. No dog is too big or too small! Too young or too old for me! My friends, family, coworkers and neighbors have all trusted me to care for their furbabies. I know how much mine mean to me, and I promise to treat yours as my own! I am currently working full-time as a teacher so weekdays have to be scheduled in advance after 5PM. Will gladly schedule weekend walks and drop-ins! I care for others’ fur babies as if they were my own! I am happy to accommodate whatever food, medication, or exercise needs they may have!
“Melissa went above and beyond taking care of our dog and cats, the normally shy cats really liked her based on the update pictures. It was a last second request and everything went perfect while we were away.”
About: Taken care of my own cats for 6 years. Work at a shelter caring for different breeds of cats. Attentive to the needs of cats. Daytime hours are best and weekend hours are available. Many flexbile time slots throughout the day, especially if short blocks of time are also needed. I follow all directions from clients, very cognizant of locating any potential dangers to safeguard the animal. Punctual with time sensitive activities and needs of the animals.
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs my entire life. Throughout my childhood, I was in charge of family pet care, handling up to 5 dogs at any given time. During my teenage years, my first and most consistent job was pet sitting for local families. As an adult, I had my own dog for twelve years. During her elder years, she had to undergo multiple surgeries and needed frequent help with tasks such as maneuvering stairs, using the bathroom, and eventually, walking in general, so I have experience helping pets who are injured or sick. I am experienced in administering oral medications, strict or complicated diets, and unique care requirements. I understand how precious and important pets are and I am equipped to give them the best care possible. I am an artist who runs her own business. Because of this, I set my own hours and have a wide range of schedule availability. This means that instead of you having to work around your pet-sitter’s schedule, I can work with your regular routines for your pets! Aside from quick potty breaks, I will not walk dogs after dark, simply for safety, but I am otherwise open to whatever routines your pets already follow! I understand that every family has different needs when it comes to pet care. Your pets are trained to follow your routine, and their stress level will be significantly lower if they’re able to keep to that routine even when you aren’t home. I am able to work with those routines, walking dogs the same time of day they’re used to, making sure pets get fed the same times even when you’re out of town or away at work, and following any specific instructions that are unique to your pet.
“Rebecca was great with the house, cats and communication! One thing that stood out to me was her calm demeanor. My cats are freaked out by some people and take a little to warm up. They both liked her right away, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again.”
About: I have experience with cats and dogs of different temperaments. I have been a dog groomer for over a year and have handled all kinds of pets, giving me the necessary skills to take care of your fur babies! I work part-time, so I will be able to devote myself to play time bonding and daily walks for your pups and cats. It is crucial that pets are given attention when their other family members are unable to! I have had a dog for nearly twelve years now and have devoted myself to taking care of him both physically, mentally, and emotionally! His happiness is just as important as any other family member.
About: I am reward based trainer and I have been training for the past 6 years. I earned my certification (CPDT-KA) with an accredited organization back in 2020. My focus is on obedience training and behavior modification. I construct lesson plans for my clients, demonstrate said lesson, and supervise their application of such. I write notes for my clients to refer back to in between training sessions. You can expect to go over efficient means of communication, body language, the importance of variety in our rewards and much more during our sessions together! Ultimately, my goal is to form a stronger bond between pet and parent, as well as give parents the tools and skills necessary to provide their dogs with a balanced and healthy life. I have worked at boarding facilities for 5 years total and currently work at an emergency veterinary hospital. Given that experience, I am very comfortable caring for dogs and cats. I can provide feedings, play time, medication administration, and grooming with ease. My schedule changes frequently, so please contact me regarding dates you’re interested in booking and I’ll let you know if I’m available to provide my services! While caring for pets, I appreciate having a detailed list of instructions so I can best simulate your fur baby’s routine in your absence. I never allow other pets and/or people interact with yours (unless explicit consent is provided) while on outings together. I ensure all walking gear is secured prior to leaving the house with your pet. I also carry treats at all times in the case I need to distract and/or guide pups through difficult situations such as passing other dogs, people, cars etc. for my leash reactive babies. I also carry deterrents in my pouch should we come across off leash dogs while on our walks together.
About: I'm a teacher, looking for an excuse to get outside and love on someone's pets! I love all pets, big, small, scaly or furry! I have raised and nurtured shy greyhounds, rambunctious puppies, and cats. I have two cats of my own. I have boarded and walked dogs since I was in high school. I have special experience with senior dogs as Ive cared for many with unique needs. You know your pet best, so I will follow all directions and care instructions. I am a full time educator that is off for the summer (Late June through September) with a few exceptions I can be available all day. During the school year, Im available after 3pm. I have safety procedures in place for escapees, I have two crates and other tools to keep your pet safe. It is the utmost priority.
About: I’ve taken care of my own family dog, friend’s and neighbors dogs for years. Available any day of the week for drop ins and long walks. I’m currently a stay at home mom, taking a break from corporate recruiting. I’m also a volunteer for local animal shelters and non profits organizations. I’m available every day of the week. I care for my own pets, those of my clients, and those up for adoption at animal shelters with lots of love, playtime and attention.
“Ethan was fantastic watching my two cats while my family was on vacation. He fed them, cleaned out the litter box, and cleaned up the messes that one cat left on the floor in protest of us being away. Ethan was responsible, communicative, and trustworthy. I would use him again and would highly recommend him to others.”
About: I have 5 pets of my own; 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are my world, truly. I have had pets most of my life, and have watched other peoples pets previously. Comfortable giving meds, feeding, playing, snuggling, etc. Certified in Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross). Have assisted with dog rescues & fosters. No matter the age or what special care is needed, I am on board. I can be available after 6pm on weekdays, flexible on weekends. I do work full time, so this will be a side job for me. At home we have an electric fence for the dogs, and our cats are strictly indoors. At a client’s home, I will provide all the necessary and recommended care asked from the parents. I am very respectful and responsible. You wouldn’t even know I was there; respecting others’ property is important for me. Remain clean, professional, and respectful.
About: Hi, I’m Paula — a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with two dogs (a beagle and a shepherd mix) and have spent the last several years sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or providing gentle care for senior pets, I adapt to meet each animal’s unique needs with patience, consistency, and care. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to arrive when needed and stay full-time if requested. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, supported, and loved throughout the day — and that you feel confident knowing they’re in great hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I start each day by checking in on your pets, and I aim to take dogs for a walk during my lunch break. Throughout the day, I’ll be working from my laptop nearby to make sure your pets have everything they need — from bathroom breaks and outdoor time to meals, water, and affection.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Youngstown
Kiara was absolutely wonderful. She was super thorough, sweet, kind, communicative, and thoughtful. She was on-time every single day, and really built a bond with my kitties. There were times while I was away I was super busy, but I knew my cats were in good hands as every single visit she sent me updates with photos, so I could look down at my phone, sigh, relax and know they were taken care of. She is also very nice and seems to be very educated on animals as she works closely with them and has her own. I 10/10 recommend her and would 100% trust her with your babies. My kittens are my world, so the absolute best care is nessesssary, and that best care is with Kiara.
Literally could not ask for a better rover!!! James checked in on Finley last minute for us and was fantastic. He was incredibly attentive and great with communication. He made sure to keep me updated and let me know exactly how Finley was doing while I was away. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to do drop-ins!!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Youngstown is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters 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 sitter.
