“We were in town while traveling and needed someone to watch our dog while we visited New York City. Ruby loved visiting with Marisol and her family! She took excellent care of her! We knew Ruby had fun because she was so excited to go back the second day! If we are ever in the area again, I would definitely call Marisol!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. Love walking and sitting dogs. I get to dogsit for my family and friends often when they go on a trip which I love! I am an active person and love the outdoors which would be perfect to get your pup as my walking buddy. 🙂 I WFH with flexible schedule. I go for a walk a few times a day which would be perfect to walk your pup with me! 😃 most nights and weekends I am free also which would be perfect for date nights and weekend care. I do have a dog crate at my apartment if needed.🙂 I live in a pet friendly apartment complex, where plenty of space to walk. Nearby trails if preferred. My own place is clean and safe for pet care. ❤️ 🐕
About: We are a loving and lively household where we will snuggle and play fetch with your pup, take them to the dog park, and keep them happy and occupied. My husband and I have a very active goldendoodle, Bell, who is 9 years old. Neither of us remember a time when there wasn't a dog in the house growing up! We know that we are taking on no small task when we agree to be responsible for your furry friend. We will follow your instructions to a T and we realize that every doggo is their own unique individual with their own unique needs. We are pros when it comes to high-energy dogs with a mind of their own! I am a full-time parent of three and we have a dog of our own whom we are home with all day. Staying active with our doodle is an integral part of our daily routine and we would love to have even more walks, games of fetch, and tricks + treats to look forward to! We LOVE to love on your pet! In our home you can expect a minimum of two 20-minute walks a day, plus more upon request and some leash time in our back yard if they like to hang out and observe the world. We are big proponents of fetch and chase.
“Lisa kindly dogsat for me at her home on a weekend day. My 4-month old pup had a great time with her and her pug (who is really cute). She had another client stay longer than expected, so ended up unexpectedly with three puppies on the same day! But she kept great communication and kept our appointment, which I really appreciated. You can feel Lisa's compassion for dogs. She keeps a very neat and clean home and property and has a fenced in backyard. Really glad to have her in the neighborhood!”
“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”
“This was one of the best Rover experiences we have had! Jaclynn is just wonderful! We were visiting from Florida for a few days, and asked her to watch our little Sushi while we spent time with family. Not only is Jaclynn super nice, friendly and full of positive energy, she runs her business like a pro, which we really appreciated. I think most dog sitters love the dogs - but Jaclynn is clearly very knowledgeable and really knows how to care for her guests, and keep them happy and engaged. We especially appreciated the photos and her “report card” that filled us in on Sushi’s time with her. We visit NJ frequently and Sushi will definitely be back! Thanks so much, Jacki!!!”

“This was my first time where my 13 month chocolate lab spent the day with Andres and she had the most amazing time. Andres was respectful, interactive, kind, and took great care of Maui. We look forward to meeting Shannon next week when we booked a second day where it will be a longer period of time. We were very pleased with our experience and would recommend Andres for caring of your loved dog. He followed as our actions when it came to walking, feeding and playfulness and the one main advantage we liked in their listing was that they had one on one time with Maui and he was extremely respectful of that. Thank you again for a wonderful sitting.”
“Our golden retriever, Oliver and I met with Louis and his dog, George, a few days before Oliver's day care visit. During our meet & greet, "Ollie", had a compatibility session with Louis' dog George. They got along great. Louis' spacious fenced-in yard was an ideal setting for safe out-door play. Louis sent us several pictures during Ollie's visit showing us that Ollie was having a great time. We couldn't be happier and Ollie will be visiting again soon! Thank you, Louis!”
“David was amazing. We had a last minute outing planned that wasn't pup friendly. The night before David responded within minutes and offered to help out for a full 12 hours. It was the first time we were leaving our pup with anyone and he graciously agreed to meeting him the same night. The day of David sent updates without any request and was understand with pick up time (we we're a little late due to some traffic). Our pup was happy and well taken care of.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Youngstown
Cadence had a lovely day at Marisol's house! Usually, she hesitates when entering a new place without me; this time, she was happy and willing to go inside with little coercion, which was a great sign. Marisol sent nice photos of Cadence during her stay and gave me updates. She's very pleasant and I think Cadence enjoyed her day at her house. Would definitely recommend Marisol to anyone in the neighborhood!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Youngstown on Rover is $38.52 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Youngstown commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 NJ 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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 8,693 sitters in Youngstown, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
