About: I’ve had various pets since I was a kid and have experience volunteering at an animal shelter. I love dogs and have a 3 year old Bengal who I spoil so I’m open to cats as well. Since it is summer break and I’m a teacher I have open availability Monday-Sunday until August I have open availability all summer and would be open to becoming a consistent resource for the right pets and their families. I’m also open to less frequent help In my house anything that could be a potential hazard is remedied and my Bengal is spoiled and taken care of routinely. If you have specific instructions I will follow them. Otherwise I will treat your pet as if they were mine and with the proper respect
“Laurel did a great job with our dog Reece and disabled cat Bobbie! We were worried how Reece would do with a new person coming into our home without us there. Laurel did great giving him time and space, he quickly warmed up to her! Having a disabled cat often makes it hard to find someone who will take care of their needs, Lauel did not hesitate and took such good care of her! Laurel was great with communicating with us and sending pictures. We will definitely be booking with Laurel in the future.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I have also owned mine my whole life. I went to tel tctc for animal management also. I own my own photography business so this is something I would like to do when I don’t have any sessions. I also do hair We have a invisible fence, and we have baby gates in areas so she can not get into anything. Our cat stays in the house.

“Chelsea was super easy to work with! She constantly sent us amazing photos of our boys, and informed is of anything that happened. Definitely will be using her again in the future? Thanks for making this such an easy experience!”
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have pets. I truly love caring for pets of all kinds. Dogs, cats, fish, etc... My schedule is extremely flexible, so I'm able to fit into whatever time slot is needed to best care for your pet, and keep them on a schedule. I feel the best way to care for pets is to earn their trust. It's never a good idea to force yourself on a pet, but to read their body language and take it from there.
About: Hi! I’m Cass. I have been a life long animal lover. I was often the child bringing home every stray cat and dog I found. When I became a Mom and my youngest son begged us to get a dog, I was so happy. We added Rocky to our family 12 years ago and he’s been my companion ever since. We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with. I work from home so I am available all day for pet care needs to be able to frequently feed and bathroom breaks along with some outdoor time I have a somewhat private back yard and I will be outside with your pet at all times while they get outdoor time and use the bathroom or I am able to go to your home and walk them in their environment. I also have a nice neighborhood block area that I am able to take breaks and walk your pet.
About: Provided in-home care and pet walking services to both cats and dogs. Including grooming, feeding, and playing with pets. I ensure safety and the well-being of all pets I encounter. Trusted to go into houses to care for pets. I am currently on summer break so my availability is very flexible. I am available in both morning and evening. Sundays would be the only day I have minimal availability. My home is located right near Wick Park, positioned only 5-minutes away from a local park. My house has a big grassy area and plenty of space to run around and play!
About: I interned under a dog trainer and doggy day care specialist a while back before he relocated out of my area. He taught me about controling aggression, basic commands, feeding, and potty training. I previously worked at a vet clinic which helps in knowing how to handle various moods of dogs. Ones with anger, fear, anxiety, or explosions of happiness! It also gave me the knowledge for medications (oral and injectable). I used to work for Disney's Animal Kindgom where I dove trucks for Kilimanjaro Safaris, so basically my whole life revolves around animals. I'm still currently at Animal Kingdom but as an animal educator for exotic animals. I'm punctual, available early mornings and evenings, and am comfortable introducing dogs to one another. I am also very good at special care for pets (ie. Diets, treats, play time, potty time, crate time, bed time, medications, and etc...). I hope I can be of service to you and your pet! I am currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your fur children. I am available most times of the day and can work around most schedules. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog that loves to play. He can help keep all the fur friends entertained and if need be, I can crate pets as well. I have a small supply of blankets, can offer quite time if needed, and have plenty of puzzle games for those that need a mental challenge.
About: Our pets are our family, and making sure they are comfortable and less anxious while you are gone is so important. Who wants to go to a doggy jail while you are gone when you can have them stay in their own home so much easier and much more affordable! I've put my own through puppy training and dealing with a senior dog with hip dysplasia. Prior animals I went through the insulin shots and special diet needs. My current job I do work 9 -6:30 pm which works great for morning potty and dinner timr. Saturday through Tuesday availability is much more open during day compared to Wednesday and Thursday. I literally have a dog that knows how to open doors so I understand keeping things a certain way to protect them and mail/delivery drivers. I will maintain awareness when letting them out either on leash or perimeter fence. Keeping them on a routine route is so important during those times, they love a schedule.
“Kristi was absolutely fabulous, highly recommend her to catch for your fur babies. We had a last minute cancellation with our original sitter, and Kristi had no problem helping us out! We are grateful! excellent service!”
“Stephanie is great!! She is so patient and understanding of Foxy being somewhat fearful at first meeting someone new. She is super dependable and accommodating. I will definitely be using her in the future”
“Jeannine did a wonderful job watching our girls so we could go out for the evening! The pups loved her and we definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter. Thank you Jeannine!”
About: As a dog mom of 2 German Shorthair Pointers. These dogs have high energy and need lots of attention so I keep my energy up and stay active with them such as lots of play time and walks. Dogs are my world and I do everything to keep a smile on their face and their tails wagging :) I currently work as a part time hairstylist on the weekends but have full availability through the week Monday-Friday. If given enough notice for weekend dog sitting I can make it work I have two fur babies of my own that are very friendly and love to play inside and outside! They have their own bedroom and I offer beds and crates. I have lots of toys, extra leashes for walks and have extra cables to let them play outside. I even make homemade doggy ice cream for treats on hot sunny days! :)

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.

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.

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.
