“Renae took such good care of Nash while I was on vacation! She updated me every day and treated him as one of her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Brittany was WONDERFUL with our dog. He's never been left with someone he doesn't know overnight and Brittany was great with sending updates and letting us know how he was doing. Would absolutely book with her again when we're in the area!”
“Emily and her family made me feel so comfortable leaving Apollo. I was nervous to leave him since we just moved to a new place but she took time to introduce our pets and bring him into her home as their dog. So grateful. I will book again.”
“Melissa is an angel! She is incredible with all dogs and so accommodating and kind, even with some very short notice help we needed. Our senior dog loved her and her yard, I cannot recommend her enough, we are so happy we have found her for future sitting.”
“My pup spent a week with Lindsay and her family and I couldn’t be happier with how attentive she was to my dog’s needs through the entire process. She provided many updates so that I knew my pup was happy and enjoying himself. I can tell that my furball will be so happy to go back!”
“She was absolutely wonderful. I felt very comfortable leaving my pets with her. She sent videos and pictures. Bruno and crackers were very comfortable with her. She treated them like she was her own. I am definitely going to use her again”
“Jamie was wonderful with The Diva! Jaime sent photos every day while we were away and updated us on how Hadassah was adjusting. I would highly recommend her to care for your sweet ones. Bobbi Jo”
“This was the 2nd time Nicole watched Pepper for me, this time it was for a couple of days. She takes such good care of him, treats him like he’s her own little guy. Nicole is amazing!”
“Kristina is your girl!!! We had an unexpected emergence and had to fly out of state. Kristina responded to our request for a sitter and helped me through the process (I’d never used Rover). She was available for last minute drop off and made me feel comfortable about where our dog was while we were dealing with an extremely stressful situation. She sent pictures of our pup and encouraged us to check in whenever. Squishy came home smelling like she just had a bath and had fully washed blankets. Kristina went above and beyond and we can’t thank her enough for her kindness. 5 stars doesn’t do her justice! If we need help again we know who we’ll be contacting. We highly recommend her services! Thanks Kristina!”
About: **** Hello and Thank You for reading my profile. I work a full time job but would be happy to spend time with your pets please message me for hours and availablity. ******* I have 3 big dogs of my own and recently acquired 3 black cats. Walking dogs, keeping them clean and healthy is my hobby. I don't mind cleaning up messes. I have had dogs and cats most of my life and truly believe that they are part of the family. I am willing to take care of cats also, feeding, brushing and changing litter boxes. Don’t tell my dogs but cats rule. I also work at a bank so I am bonded and finger printed. I have a clean record, good driving record and excellent credit. I also have good customer service skills and aim to please. I do have older children that have been around pets their entire lives. I have good transportation and will to travel in less than perfect weather conditions. I am available, early mornings, evenings and weekends. I can do lunchtime visits in Derry l, 15627. I work full time at a bank and love my job. Depending on the animal and their personality, I can watch pets at my house. I have two female dogs that are great with other dogs and I have a 10-year-old female cat and she isn’t good with anything she just hides.
“Alysia is, without a doubt, the most spectacular human being I have ever encountered—and I’m not just saying that because she’s my best friend and knows all my secrets. She routinely defies the laws of time and space to go above and beyond for people, casually pulling off miracles even when her own schedule is a chaotic mess. Most importantly, she loves my fur babies like they are her own biological offspring, which means she is officially the favorite aunt. Whenever life decides to throw a curveball, Alysia is already there, cape on, stepping in to make sure absolutely everything is under control. 11/10 stars, highly recommend this human.”
“Rex had such a great time with Adisyn and her dog! She went above and beyond what we expected, and I could tell that he really enjoyed his stay. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Maple loved her stay! She and Luna became best friends, and I know they tired each other out! Lucas did a great job sending pics every day and letting me know how things were going. Would definitely book again!”
“Luna had a great time!! She tends to be very anxious but warmed up quickly. Stephanie and Philip were great at communicating with us and we were relieved to know she was with people who treated her like family!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of pets. Growing up with multiple pets taught me how to recognize their needs, provide loving care, and keep them safe and comfortable. I currently enjoy going on daily walks, so I'm happy to give dogs the exercise and attention they need. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'm reliable, patient, and understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. My schedule is very flexible right now! I recently returned to IUP to finish my senior year of nursing school. While I’m here, I’m available most days for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits whenever possible. My class schedule varies each day, but I’m flexible and will always work around it to provide your pets with the best care and attention! When caring for pets in my client's home, I always follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I use a leash for all walks and outdoor potty breaks, and I can crate dogs when needed if that's part of their routine. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Youngstown
Robert was great with our Savannah. Though she was certainly happy to see us, she did not seem distraught in any way when we picked her up. Since I was nervous leaving her, Robert sent me lots of pics and updates. It appeared Savannah and Robert's dogs, Lizzy and Elvis, all got along well. I feel Savannah was well cared for and likely spoiled. She is accustomed to being spoiled, so she felt right at home.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Youngstown can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Youngstown home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Youngstown.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Youngstown. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Youngstown sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
