“Christine went above and beyond in so many ways to help us with our dog Knox. We were set to travel internationally when our plans to travel our dog changes and he was delayed for a few weeks. Christine took wonderful care of knox for 2 weeks—who got along perfectly with her dog. She made frequent trips to the dog park, baked special treats (with our concurrence), and sent frequent pictures. She managed a complex situation with the vet to get our paperwork to travel internationally. Through it all she was calm, collective and communicated exceptionally well. I recommend Christine without hesitation.”

“Bethany is such an easy going person and is always happy to have my dog ! I really appreciate how welcoming she is and I am always updated with videos so I can see how happy of a time he is having! Thanks again Bethany!”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a little girl, I've always told my parents I wanted to be a vet growing up so I went to a vocational school for veterinary assistance and got my grooming and vet assistance certificates. I've had dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, snakes, spiders just everything, me and my husband have trained several dogs, we have had ling boarding stays that went on for a couple months and weve also rescued quite a few dogs and found them new homes! Im always available I work from home and my husband works night shifts, my dog also loves having someone to play with whenever he can We have a big enough house they can run around and it not be a issue, we have a back yard that will soon be fenced in and I'm always gonna be home
About: I grew up with dogs, so i have taken care of them my whole life. I have also helped out friends and family members with dog sitting. I am currently working part time, so i have plenty of free time during my day to take care of your animals. I can stop by frequently or house sit as well. I have two dogs and i take care of them by feeding them, letting them out, making sure they have water, walking them, etc. i am very good with animals, and enjoy spending time with them.
About: I have taken care and loved animals for as long as I can remember walking. Young, old, on a diet? I can do it all! I am a full time student at Youngstown State University. I currently am on summer break, and free about all week except for weekends. There is lots of space for pets to run on our property, and I will be attentive at all times! I have watched dogs at others houses for years, along with taking care of my own animals at home! I have administered medication intake for animals, followed strict diets, and made sure they all get their energy out! I prioritize making sure the pets feel safe in the environment as my biggest heartbreak is an animal's sadness!
“This was our first time using Rover. Daniel and Rachel are kind, caring, good-hearted, and dog loving people. They both treated our dog like their own dogs. We received many photos and updates on what our boy was doing. Maverick loved all of the attention, dog toys, and playing with their dog Jesper. Maverick had an awesome time with Daniel and Rachel. We already have another booking with them. We would recommend Daniel and Rachel to whoever needs a pet sitter. Thanks for taking good care of Maverick. We will see you soon .”


“Courtney was great! She sent lots of pictures of our Australian Shepherd, and he came home happy healthy, and most importantly tired! I also really appreciate how she brought him back to our house for us since our flight wasn't going to get in until late- it was super helpful.”

About: Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for three of my own dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of life—from potty training and high energy phases to gentle senior care. I’ve also raised kittens into senior cats, so I’m comfortable with feline personalities and needs as well. Beyond my own pets, I’ve regularly helped care for the dogs and cats of family and friends. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, love, and attention I gave my own. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and provide a calm, present environment while you’re away. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. I take a patient, gentle approach and pay close attention to each animal’s unique temperament—whether that means playtime and energy for a young pup or a quiet, reassuring presence for a shy cat. In addition to everyday care, I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral meds and insulin injections for diabetic cats. I understand how important consistency, attentiveness, and trust are when caring for pets with medical needs, and I’m confident providing that level of care. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends over the years, helping with walks, feedings, routines, and lots of affection. Every pet I care for is treated with the same love and attention I gave my own. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a calm, loving experience while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in your home or welcoming them into mine. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog and cats who are accustomed to other animals, creating a calm and welcoming environment. I’m mindful of introductions and each pet’s personality to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. Dogs are always leashed for daily walks, and I have a large yard that allows for extra exercise and playtime in a secure space. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to closely supervise pets, maintain their routines, and give them consistent attention and companionship. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special preferences you share. I also offer meet-and-greets before bookings so you and your pet can feel comfortable and confident. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in loving, attentive hands.
“Second time my kitty has stayed with Katherine and will most definitely be going back! She gives updates and sends pictures everyday. A wonderful sitter highly recommended!!!!”


“Amelia was one of the best Rover’s that we have ever used. Our beagle isn’t high maintenance, but we had some last minute medication requests that she was able to help us with. She sent multiple pictures every day and made sure to send updates often. She also went out of her way to take champ on fun walks and even got a little pool for him to hang in outside since it was hot. I can’t recommend Amelia enough!!!!”
“Kimberly is FANTASTIC! I would recommend her services to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet. I like how she took the time to provide both a meet and greet and a visit to her home before our dog’s stay. We were nervous our dog would be scared to be in a new environment, but Kimberly helped her feel comfortable and they had a great stay together. I also want to compliment how respectful her son was of our dog - Kimberly stated she has taught her son how to treat animals and it resulted in our dog not feeling stressed out with anyone invading her personal space or pushing her boundaries - I really appreciated that! Kimberly was also kind enough to send updates and photos to make it easier to be away from our favorite pup. We had a great vacation knowing our dog was being well taken care of :)”


About: Dog lover looking to care for local pups. I am Experienced with dog walking, overnight/weekly pet sitting, and giving daily medications. Able to work with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as cats and other pets. I grew up on a farm and have experience with caring for a large variety of animals. I recently moved back to Greenville after living out of state for several years.

Your dog will have plenty of outdoor play and a comfortable space indoors to relax.
“Hanna was great with our pup during our weekend trip. Many pictures and updates kept us worry free while we were on the road. The beautiful scenery on her farmland makes for a great place for any furry friends to relax and play. Our girl will definitely be back with Hanna during our next adventure!”

“April was a wonderful sitter, very patient and kind. Cooper is a rescue dog that we have had only a year. Still learning about him and his ways, April was very good at reading him,and working with him. He made 3 new friends and loved every moment with them. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! Thanks again April for all your knowledge and kindness!”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 28 years old! I've had dogs my whole life and my dream is to own my own dog sitting business. I am currently a Travel Physical Therapist full time.

“This was the second time Winchester was at Hanna’s. She was kind enough to send updates and pictures. I know that Win is well cared for while he is here. He loves playing with Duke. I would recommend Hanna to anybody.”

“BEST DOG SITTERS EVER!!! Lindsey and her entire family are the most loving people you could ever want to watch your dog! I actually think our frenchy is missing his new found family and their wonderful pups who he played with all day long! We have never boarded him for that long (9 nights!) and were very apprehensive about leaving him. But Lindsey had us come over to meet her, her family and their dogs to make sure we felt comfortable. Afterwards, we just knew that our Ronan would be safe, sound and very loved while we were gone. We will never use anyone else! Thanks so much for everything!!”

About: I grew up caring for dogs and decided to get my own as soon as I could! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can give extra care and attention to your furry friend! I have a large house on multiple acres of land so there is plenty of space to play. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and can usually adjust my schedule to fit your needs. This also allows me to take frequent breaks for potty and play. My two small dogs are unleashed in our home, and they are friendly and love to play with other dogs! I do not have a crate, but if you bring one, would be happy to use it upon request.
Youngstown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jalaina did a great job looking after my dog Baxter. Typically, I board him with a kennel, but he hates being in a cage and restricted. Jalaina was all I could have hoped for. She sent numerous pictures of Baxter that allowed me to have peace of mind when I needed a last minute sitter and a “homey” environment for Baxter. He warmed up to her immediately and even got comfy on her couch. Also, she walked him daily and when I picked him up he wasn’t anxious as he has been in kennel environments. I almost forgot to mention that she watched my Mom’s dog as well in the same weekend. We wanted to board them together because they are with each other most days. I can’t say enough about Jalaina and her sweet and gentle spirit which is why I think both dogs had such an enjoyable stay and I will not hesitate to book her again.
