“Mike was professional, arrived right on time, and took the time during our meet-and-greet to learn our dog’s routine and quirks. She enjoyed her walk and highly recommend Mike.”
“HIGHLY recommend. Had a last minute trip to Miami and he handled everything professionally and politely. He was great with my dog Turbo and sent great updates and pictures. You can tell he cares for others pets like a member of his own family! Will definitely be having him baby sit my dogs in the future! He even made himself available incase of a delayed flight which was very comforting for my wife and I.”
“Sarah is the best! She helped us take care of our dog when my husband and I were away for 2 days and sent cute pictures to tell us that our dog was feeling happy and well. She has been a tremendous help.”
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.
“Rachel is been nice and accommodating all the time! She also pays attention with our instructions for our beloved dog. Good communication with her as well. We are very thankful for her. Will recommend and still use her in the future!”
About: I offer personalized pet care with a focus on training puppies and providing attentive care for senior dogs. With years of experience training my own dogs and caring for my parents' elderly dog, I understand the unique needs of every pet, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve at every stage of life. I have experience taking care of fish as well! So if you have any fish tanks I will be more than happy to take care of them. I work early mornings where I usually start 4-6am and finish no later than 11am. I work no more than 4 days a week! I will always take your dog out right before I leave for work and once I come back! I don't make many plans during the week! . I generally stay at home so having a new step in my routine this summer would be amazing! I will do my best to stick to the routine when taking care of your pet in your own home. I find it important to have consistency when it comes to pet care.
“Erin is super professional, kind, responsive, and went out of her way to accommodate a walk request. She asked really important questions and is a fellow dog owner herself. My dog absolutely loved her and I trust her implicitly. I highly recommend Erin for all your pet care needs!”
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.

Your dog will get a lot of attention, hugs and love when I’m with them. Whether it’s a walk around the block, or playing fetch in the yard, your dog will always have my full attention. I’m free during the day and afternoon. I’m also available on short notice. I have a reliable car and clean driving record and have no problem transporting your dog if needed. If you want someone to give your dog love and attention then I’m the one for you.
About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.
About: I have experience with both younger dogs and elderly dogs. I have specifically worked with senior dogs, who required special care getting around, keeping track of their medication schedule, and their diets. I'm currently working part time and remotely, so I'll have a lot of time to spend with your dogs. I also enjoy taking walks, so I'll make sure your dogs are getting the outside time they need! I have a large fenced in yard at my home, along with plenty of dog toys. I can also crate your dog if needed. There are also a few trails nearby which are easy and engaging for dogs to walk through.
“Kay was amazing! She is so kind and took great care of our two senior dogs. She updated us regularly, took lots of pics, and was generally wonderful! We will definitely book with her again in the future and I’d recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have taken care of my 3 dogs, black lab, Chihuahua, and Brittany spaniel since about 8 years old. I love taking them on walks, playing ball and just hanging out with them! I am a full time student so I am super flexible with any bookings! I am able to do drop ins, walks, and overnight stays all 7 days of the week! I can do whatever you would like with your dog and where ever is most comfortable for you.If that be your backyard, house, in a neighborhood, or in the park.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I grew up with all kinds of animals in my homes and have had additional experience with birds, fish, chickens, hamsters, mice, snakes, geckos, bunnies, and others over my last 30 years. Though it hasn’t been my full time profession in years, I spent many years managing a boarding facility alongside an animal hospital, which remains to this day my absolute favorite job. I find no greater joy than helping ease the anxiety that the animal babies feel when they are away from the comfort of their own homes. I have successfully trained a number of puppies including large “bully breeds” and I especially enjoy helping rescues find comfort in new homes after questionable upbringings. Above all, my heart pours love and gratitude into animal babies because I believe they deserve the same unconditional love that they give to us humans. I work part time and make my own schedule. I am incredibly flexible and am used to a swing schedule where I can get up early or stay up late in order to accommodate the needs of my clients. I have a multiple acre wooded property. Though it is not entirely fenced in I am skilled at leash walking/training and my property backs up to miles of trails that are part of a wildlife refuge. I currently have a one year old female Beagle/Belgian Malinois mix who is crate trained but also does stay at home alone freely at this age with no incidents. She is incredible with other dogs and people, overall very sweet and friendly. I am willing to crate your pup if that is what you prefer, but am also ok with a free roaming pup. I work only on a free-lance basis and do all of my work based around my pet sitting, drop in, and walking schedule. So your animals are my number one priority! I have added a fence on my wooded property to accommodate pups that need some freedom from a leash to do their ‘business’ 😆 and of course my sweet, friendly, playful pup Rainy is always ready to wrestle, chase, or cuddle her new friends!
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have four dogs of my own, where I have helped train them, raise them, and care for them. I have a love for all dogs and understand their individual needs. In addition to my own dogs, I have been dog-sitting through Rover for about 3 years. I love meeting new pets and giving them lots of attention. I am aware that all dogs need a different type of care, whether they're the energetic fun-loving pup - to a lazy little lap dog. I am reliable and professional and will provide you with pictures, updates, or anything you may need to make you feel at ease while I’m with your pup. I have experience with handicapped animals and sick animals and can administer shots or oral medication if needed. I am always available on the weekends, and whenever needed for walks or drop-ins during on the weekdays. I am ready to treat your dogs like my own, and believe that all dogs should be loved equally and cared for. Your best friend will be my best friend! Please consider me with this application and help me, help you!
About: Throughout my life I have owned many pets! This includes dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, ferrets, gerbils, and even guinea pigs! I love them all! I am experienced in giving medication and caring for senior pets as well. If you’re looking for a bonus grandma to help care for your fur baby, I’m your gal! I live with four dogs and one cat so I am very accustomed to having pets as a part of my daily routine. I am also a retired grandmother, so I have plenty of free time on my hands! Whatever your pet needs, I’ll be able to provide! Small dogs can easily be taken for a walk and played with, cats can easily be entertained with toys and lots of snuggles.
“Melissa was great! She has a strong love for animals and treated Obi like her own. She was attentive to our special requests and very responsive. I would definitely hire her again in the future if I need a dog walker or sitter.”
About: I worked at a Dog Kennel for a year and have been independently animal sitting on and off since then. I also used to bathe dogs at a dog groomers! I’m a primary contact for many friends who need pet sitting and have several returning clients. I also have 2 dogs of my own, chickens, fish, a bearded dragon and 2 geckos! I’m currently living at home and work at Trader Joe’s so my schedule is pretty flexible. Caring for animals is a nice escape for me so I make time for it! I like to give the animals a lot of love and attention to insure that they’re happy and can see that I’m someone they can trust. I take time to build up their trust to reduce their anxiety.

This was Jett’s first walk with someone new, and Allie did an amazing job! She took him on several walks around the neighborhood and made sure to burn off some of his energy playing fetch in the backyard. Allie is reliable and great with dogs—I would recommend her. Thank you, Allie!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Youngstown is $26 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $30 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.

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 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:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
