Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!

Maya and her husband did a great job looking in on our sensitive little dachshund! The daily updates really helped us feel better about leaving our boy for a few days. Thanks, Maya!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child all the way up until middle age. And I truly enjoy every time I see a dog or a cat. They truly bring me joy and happiness. I am recently retired with a lot of free time and love the opportunity to spend it with dogs and cats of any kind 😍 I would consider using my home for my clients, but that is not my preference necessarily. I love the opportunity to make visits, do general care, including walking, feeding, bathing, and any other tasks

About: I’ve cared for dogs/cats my entire life, from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable, loved, and relaxed as possible—as if you never left. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, and I want you to enjoy your trip without worrying about your furry family member. I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. As a bonus, I also enjoy tidying up, so if you’re comfortable with it, you’ll come home to a happy pet and an even cleaner house. One of the biggest benefits I offer is flexibility. I work in medical device sales, which means I’m local and make my own schedule. Because of that, I can stop by throughout the day to let your pets out, give them potty breaks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply some extra love and attention. Your pet won’t be left alone all day, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for whenever they need it. I’m very aware of my surroundings and will always make sure to keep your pet and home safe while you are away. Most of them time I enjoy cuddling up on the couch and watching a good show right by your pets side

About: I spent three years in college volunteering and taking care of service dogs in training, have volunteered at animal shelters, and have had two different dogs of my own throughout my life! I work a 9-5 Monday-Thursday and work 9-2 on Fridays. I'd love to help you out any time outside of those timeframes. Weekends and holidays are especially perfect! I'm super respectful of requests and rules, and understand that each pet has different needs. I cannot have pets in my apartment, but would love to help your pup outdoors or in your house however you'd like!

Jennifer was simply amazing! She took care of my crazy puppy as her own, and I really couldn’t ask for anything more. She was always on time, great at communicating, and very reliable. I am booking her again - that should tell you everything!

About: Hi! My name is Stephanie, and I’ve loved dogs my whole life. I currently have a friendly Goldendoodle named Abby, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits and will treat your dog like one of my own. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to making sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekends and weekday evenings after 6:00 PM. My schedule may vary slightly from week to week as I’m also a college student, but I keep my availability up to date and communicate promptly. During every visit, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, potty breaks, and lots of love. I pride myself on being reliable, arriving on time, and sending detailed updates and photos after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and pay close attention to their comfort and behavior. I respect every client’s home, keep it clean, lock doors when leaving, and treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would expect for my own dog, Abby.

Paige exceeded all of our expectations. My three large dogs were well taken care of, and when we arrived home, we figured we would have a mess to deal with because of the weather and muddy back yard, but Paige kept up with everything, again, above and beyond our expectations. Paige sent us updates daily, with pics of the dogs. These updates put us at ease that all was well back at home. Aside from all of this, we can tell that Paige is a genuinely good person that has a love for animals, treating ours as she would her own. If you are looking for a sitter, stop here and check her calendar, you wont regret it.

Caitlin was everything we could hope for in a pet sitter. Our dogs warmed up to her right away. She was so conscientious and caring. We had no worries with our diabetic dog and her ability to administer his Vetsulin. We will definitely request her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Youngstown on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 397 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Youngstown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Youngstown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
