Barbie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for us and our pets. Her detailed updates and frequent photos helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so comforting knowing our kitties were in such good hands! We will definitely be using Barbie again in the future!

About: If you have decided to keep your pets at home, where they are most comfortable, hire a person who will shower them with love and keep them safe. I'm retired from banking and loving the simple life, enjoying what I truly love.... caring for pets. Besides caring for my own pets, home, and family. I am available all days and will do my best to meet your needs. My three precious furbabbies-a very funny cat-Miss Kitty and two Pomskys-Sheeba & Earl-are my pride and joy. My Pomskys are escape artists which makes me hyper-aware. I understand the importance of protecting them and ensuring their safety. I love all fur babies with all my heart and treat them like children. I love to walk my dogs along the Niagara Falls Gorge trail and ArtPark in Lewiston. I have a bike trailer and take my dog and cat for rides.

Allison was great! My pup doesn't typically drink from her bowl unless she's had a good run, and she drank a lot after playing. Awesome visit.

About: I don’t just watch pets, I care for them like they’re my own. My King Charles Cavalier Spaniel taught me how meaningful the bond between people and their pets can be, and it’s one of the reasons why I treat every animal with patience, affection, and individualized care. With years of experience, a flexible schedule, and a true passion for animals, you can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I work full-time, but pet sitting fits well into my weekly schedule because I’m intentional about making time for it. I only take on bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and reliability they deserve. Evenings and weekends are open as well as during lunch hours during the work week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of attention. I also treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs small, large, young, old, and anywhere in between as long as I can remember. Whether they are high energy or just looking for a few extra belly rubs, I’d love to help! I work as a registered nurse on a night shift schedule 3 nights a week making my availability pretty flexible. Because of this, I’m available both week days and weekends. I am happy to work in whatever environment you have available. I’m well informed on pet safety and will always work in the areas you are comfortable with and what your pet enjoys.

About: Dogs must be dog friendly as we have a young, neutered very active 65lb male! He is not dominant/or aggressive but he is definitely ready to play. No small dogs unfortunately. I have owned, rescued and fostered dogs for over 25 years. My dogs have always been my heart. I have been around medium to large breeds, but I'm comfortable with small breeds also. Unfortunately our 60lb young, male may be far too rough for a dog under 25 lbs. I also adore cats, although I've never owned one. I can't have cats inside my home..but I am happy to care for/feed at your home during a drop in visit. Your dog will be treated as if they are my own! Your dog must be able to coincide with other dogs while in our care. We have a young male, neutered boy who loves to play and loves other dogs. I'm home the entire time your dog is in my care, and if I did need to run out for an errand, I will check with you as to how you prefer your pet to be safely alone. Our home is temperature regulated, the energy is calm and we have a great property for exercise or lounging by the lake. Our neighbor's dogs do come onto our property periodically, so please let me know if this is a problem. Your pet's stay will be far more comfortable than any luxury style suite or commercial boarding facility. They will have my full attention and TLC throughout the day, with plenty of outside time! I will keep in contact via text and phone the entire time I have your pet in my care, while sharing photos. I know and understand the anxiety a pet owner has while being away from their pet. I watch the way a person treats their pets as I think it says a lot about who they are! I do have 2 older children, one lives with me. Both of my kids have grown up with animals and adore them. I have worked in special education for years and also have owned my own business. I currently am an online college student, studying for my Master's Degree in social work and a real estate agent. When your pets stay with me, I am home with them. I'll assure your sweet pup is well looked after and comfortable while in my care! Our home is your pet's home while they are my guest. They are treated as family and have free run of the home as you wish. If your pet needs to be crated while here, please let me know beforehand.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cat since 19. I also had them in the home I grew up in. However, I have also cared for pregnant mommas of both types. Including their babies once born. Are you at work and need a check in / potty break? Dog needs a walk? Vacation time!! Need a babysitter. I’m here for those. Currently not working so I have plenty of time take care of any furbabies that need me. Within my availability depending on my travel dates. I can help out in any basic animal needs so you can feel less worried or in a rush to get home. In my home I can care for your animal in and outside. I do prefer no crates unless in “heat” while another animal is here. No pregnancies on my watch. I do require to know what they are allowed to do in the house normally and what outside for consistency. Travel to your home I ask what specifically you require along with the normal amount of attention any animal would want. And Same here about what’s allowed and not.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12. Family members and my mom's boss would rely on me to walk, feed. and look after their pets. I've worked with many breeds such as chihuahuas, poodles, terriers to german shepherds, golden retrievers and saint bernards'. I also have a dog of my own so I understand the responsibilities of taking care of a dog since a fairly young age. I have a 2 year old German Shepherd that my family has had since he was 4 months so I have experience with large breed and training experience since I trained my puppy. I am currently in college but also have a lot of time in between classes. I am free Thursdays through Sundays full time:) Taking car of fur babies is such a stress reliever and am always excited to meet a new face The services i offer are dog walking/sitting/boarding. With dog walking I will make sure your dog is taken out every few hours and has play time to be able to to release some energy. Mare sure your dog or dogs are fed at their appropriate times and are always staying hydrated especially after play time:) I offer complimentary services such as bringing in the mail, watering plants, taking out trash etc. At the end of each visit, I will send you a full update on what we did along with pictures to give you a piece of mind while you're away! We can schedule a meet and greet so I can know your pet's regular routine

About: I have owned dogs all my life, and turned to fostering and dogsitting after college for shorter commitments. I have fostered over 15 dogs, including seniors, puppies, 70+ lb reactive dogs, and those needing medications. I have also catsit for friends and neighbors and cared for fish the last three years. I work from home so I'm able to be attentive to your pets, and I like to take 15 minute breaks to walk a few times a day. I have a puppy-proofed mudroom where we will hang out, and I live across the street from a bike path where I love to walk with a regular leash or long line.

About: Years of fostering dogs has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I know how to handle anxious pups, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. My goal is always to provide the same love and structure I’d want for my own pets—so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s something I’ve been doing for years through fostering and pet sitting. I plan my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs—like medications or training. I love creating a consistent, calm schedule that keeps pets happy and stress-free. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and fun environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their schedule to the letter and make sure their space stays tidy, secure, and welcoming.

Stephanie’s communication during her daily drop in visits was amazing, sending a comprehensive update with photos daily. Her response time was very fast for all communication. Our cat was well cared for and she certainly won his trust by the end of the week, which was so nice to see! 😻

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Youngstown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 774 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Youngstown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Youngstown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Youngstown. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 86% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
