“Paige has been wonderful the last 2 months! She would come and let my dog cheddar out every Sunday. Responsible and reliable! I will definitely rebook if I need someone 😊”
“Amanda came through for us at the last minute! We contacted her and we were able to book her services immediately- which brought us peace of mind while we were away. She is extremely responsible, reliable and caring!!”
“This was our second booking with Taylor. She was always on time and communicative, keeping us updated with photos. We never had to worry while we were away, knowing our dog was in good hands. It’s clear she genuinely love animals and treats them like her own. Our dog was so happy to see her, and we could tell he had a great time.”
“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!”
“Peyton is an absolutely amazingly kind and competent sitter. Top of the line. I all have to book early in future to ensure her care for our Hobie cat in the future.”
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: I have had pets through out my entire life. I love animals and caring for them and have pet sat multiple different types and breeds of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, dogs, cats, fish, birds, etc. I have 2 cats of my own currently. There are some pictures of them on my profile! I work full time during the week. I am still able to do lunch visits as well as morning and evenings and over night stays as well. I am able to do drop in visits and walks on days off or during my lunch break or pet sitting for animals able to be alone around 4 or so hours of the day. Every home is different and although I would be taking care of your pets in your space. It is important to me to respect your space. I am a firm believer of the “leave it better than you found it” rule. I am able and willing to follow any and all rules given.
About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!
About: My name is Ronda. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for years. I have also been a foster for a rescue group for years. Your animal will be taken care of and loved as if they were my own. I do not currently have any pets. I recently lost my 2 senior dogs. I have a home with a fenced in back yard. I also have a doggie door if that is something your dog is used to (if not, it will be closed up). They will have free roam of the house when I am gone or can be crated if that is what they prefer. I will take them for daily walks or hang with then on the couch. Meds, special diets, or any special needs will be addressed. I'll text updates and sends pictures. Whatever you and your furbaby want, I will accommodate. I accept dogs of any size. I currently have a hybrid work schedule, so I am home a majority of the day and I am able to offer frequent potty breaks I have a fenced in back yard with no doggy neighbors. I am also home the majority of the day and am only gone for short periods of time.
“Nick was absolutely wonderful to our girls! He was available last minute when our original sitter fell through, and his response time was great. Our dogs both took to him immediately; you can tell he’s a dog person! He was very communicative, took lots of adorable photos, and gave detailed visit reviews on the “report card”. He took extra care with one of our dogs who had recent TPLO surgery and administered her meds and special diet which put our minds at ease. We cannot recommend Nick enough and we would definitely book again!”

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.

About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available daily as Chad stays at home weekly. Karen is available to help out on weekends. Please let us know how we can help! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.
About: From dogs and cats to bunnies, I know exactly what it takes to keep your pets happy and healthy. I’m fully confident with feeding schedules and medications, and I’m always learning more to provide the best care for small animals of all kinds. Because pet care is my full time career, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to providing your pets with consistent, round the clock attention and specialized care. For your peace of mind and your dog's safety, I provide all care right in the comfort of your own home, and I always have a trusted backup ready to help if your pup ever needs an extra hand.

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.

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.
