“This was the first time our puppy had a pet sitter, and Liam was great! He was communicative, on time, and helped reinforce training and manners. Our puppy was extremely excited to see him when he arrived, and I'm sure will be looking forward to the next time he visits!”


“Bridget has been checking in on our two dogs twice a week for a few weeks now, and we could not be any happier with her service. She has been flexible when needed, and we are so appreciative of how well she cares for our dogs. I'm pretty sure they love her. Our younger dog is still learning his walking skills, and Bridget is a good sport in helping us to train him. We are confident that they're both in good hands with Bridget.”


“We are so thankful for Brian!! We had a bad experience with a local pet sitting company so we went looking on Rover when we were going away for Thanksgiving. Brian immediately put two anxious cat parents at ease and we left without a worry. Brian was communicative, prompt, kind, and got the cutest pictures of our cats. We will definitely be using his services again and confidently recommend him to any pet parents!!! Thank you, Brian!”



“Paola did a great job. She did everything that was requested to look after my cat, Trixie. Trixie would be fine either way so this was more about me and my neuroses. Paola showed up as scheduled to feed and water Trixie. She also sent pics so I could see how Trixie was doing. This is definitely the way to go and Paola was the right choice. Paola was respectful of my home and cat. With Paola’s help, I was able to enjoy my weekend away.”


“Nicole was great! She was super easy to work with when we needed someone in a last minute pinch. Archie loved her and was giving kisses within minutes of meeting her. I highly recommend Nicole!”



“Erin had great communication throughout the whole process. Our meet & greet was seamless and the whole visit went great with our dog! Highly recommend. We will be booking Erin for future needs!”


“Paula was so great and took fantastic care of our cats! I felt so much better leaving them knowing they were in good hands. Thank you so much, we will definitely be rebooking soon!”


“Marilin took excellent care of our French bulldog. She’s highly responsive and responsible. Her updates were clear and complete, and we came home to a happy dog!”


“Elizabeth is awesome! Super responsive, very reliable, great communication and easy to trust she’s giving my pets love and affection when I’m gone. Really grateful I’ve connected with her!”


“Paola was so reliable and flexible. I had to change my request a few times and each time she responded quickly that it was no issues for her. She arrived exactly as requested and did all the tasks that I asked of her. She texted me when she had a question, which made feel so confident that she was taking everything very serious and didn't want to make a mistake. I will 100% contact her again when I go away.”


“Morgan is a very responsible person who goes out of her way to do the little things to take care of our pets and our home also. She comes at the agreed times, spends quality time with our pets and sees to their well being. We come back to happy pets every time she takes care of them. I have no hessitation recommending Morgan! She is terrific!!!”


“I cannot speak more highly of Marilyn!!!!!! She is THE BEST dog sitter I could ever, EVER ask for!!!!! No others compare!!!! Not only is she so gentle and responsible with my dog, but she goes above and beyond what is asked for; taking him to the nearby playground for fun times, relaxing in the sun, cuddling and loving on him in my home, sweetly playing with his favorite toys, even taking selfies to show me how much she cares for him. It literally brings tears to my eyes seeing these pictures because of how safe I feel Mickey is and how wonderful she is!!! She follows instructions to the tee and she’s perfect!! I adore her!!!

Youngstown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Arely gave Kimmy , my fur baby, lots of attention, and was on time, and followed my directions, that I left. She took the time for a meet and greet also before I took vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Arely to watch your fur babies. She is very responsible.

Laura & Jim were so nice! We needed someone to watch our cats while we were getting married in PA. They came to my house to meet my cats & go over their routines, and were so thoughtful. They sent me updates every time they visited the cats and stayed to play with them. It was so great to know they were in good hands while we were both so busy!!!
