House Sitting in Youngtown

“She did a wonderful job looking after the pets. Updates were well received and the house was clean after her stay. Will definitely be using again.”

About: I’ve taken care of large dogs, small dogs, cats, ferrets, ducks and basically any pet you can think of. Everyone deserves to have someone care for their pet properly while they are away. I will keep your furry family member safe and happy while you are! I also take photos while they are with me that I can send to you with updates. I can’t wait to meet your fur friend!!! I am currently in college online. When needed I substitute teach for my primary income but it is a very flexible schedule. I care for animals more often than subbing and devote my workdays towards your pets. I have one very friendly dog, but if your pet is not into socializing they can stay separated. I want to make sure you come back home to a pet that is as happy as when you left. My hope is that whether you're on vacation or business trip your furry family member will be treated like they are part of my own family.

“Faith was amazing. I originally had another sitter who had a family emergency and couldn’t stay, and Faith eagerly stepped in during a time of need. Loki had been left alone for over 12 hours, and Rover connected us with Faith. She cleaned up the garage and made sure our fur baby was safe, cared for, and comfortable. I truly can’t thank her enough. If you’re looking for someone reliable and compassionate, book her!”

“Christie was excellent. My puppies loved her. While we were away, she sent me pics of the puppies every day doing something in their normal daily routine. She took them for walkies, which cemented her and their relationship because it is one of their favorite activities which we told her was optional because they get super excited and is like walking a team of pulling sled dogs. She handled it with ease. When we returned home after the "happy to see you" reunion, the puppies were calm, full of tail wags, and going back to Christie to be petted and loved on. Christie also watered my garden for me while we were gone. She is very neat and tidy and the house was exactly mirror to when we left the week before. Our puppies have limited access to other people so they are suspicious of all new people they encounter, Christie won our dogs over with ease because she has a very gentle, kind, and genuinely caring nature as person. If you want worry free pet care and house sitting you should contact Christie.”

About: I grew up on a 100-acre farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. My experience includes both everyday and medical care for livestock and household pets, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and individual needs. I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, and in the last five years, have raised three puppies into well-behaved, mature dogs, and cared for my two senior dogs until they passed. I personally trained my youngest dog and she is the best-behaved pup in public! I have experience with administering medication, grooming, training, feeding routines, and overall handling, especially dogs that are skittish or fearful. All of these skills helped me excel in both of my kennel assistant positions. I am patient and fully willing to provide care for senior or injured pets, as they hold a special place in my heart. I'm currently a full-time student at MSU, and will share my schedule when a booking request is made. I have gaps between my classes, and am generally done with school around 12 pm on T/TH and around 2-3pm on M/W/F. Again, I have gaps between classes so I am available at different times of day. I am fully free on the weekends! I have three dogs and two cats currently living at home, while I have my third car with me at college. My college car is also blind and one of my home dogs has a torn CCL, but they both are adored all the same. I wouldn't change it for the world! My dogs are on radio collars on occasion (generally when strays begin to appear), but more often than not, they are inside-outside dogs and are let out on average 4-6x a day. My own dog, Felix, has the torn CCL and gets leashwalked 4-6x a day as well. All of my cats are free-fed dry food, and my blind kitty gets fed a special dry food. My oldest cat (13 yrs) is also fed wet food as an additional food, 1-2x a day. Their litter box is cleaned weekly, as we do not scoop, but I do scoop my blind cat's litter box daily, as she is the only cat in the dorm and the box is suited specifically for her. In my clients home, I will follow any and all rules and regulations laid out of me. I love "excessive details" as they give me a better idea of how to properly care for the pets. I follow feeding times and amounts to a T, and double, triple, sometimes quadruple-checking amounts of everything, whether it be food, medications, or the amount of excrement I find. If anything looks off (behavior, excrement, appetite, etc.) the owner is immediately notified with a mentality of "what do you want me to do next?" My goal is to treat the pet as good as the owner does, in the time I am around them. On walks, I encourage proper walking skills (heeling, low reactivity), and try to help teach dogs as I do so. If allowed by the owner, I'd use low-calorie, high-reward treats with a clicker tool to help refine walking skills. This way the pet gets mental and physical stimulation, while being able to still be themself.

“Stephen did a fantastic job with our dogs! He communicated well and was timely. Dogs loved him. He left the house tidy too!! We will definitely be using him more.”

“Peyton is just the most wonderful and considerate pet sitter. My three Scotties and my cat Simon adore her and I honestly can't say enough good things about her. She sent me pics of all of them daily and let me know what they were up to and she was always so quick to communicate. I am a total cuckoo-codependent with my animals, so I was able to have the best time while on vacation knowing they were with her. More than doing a phenomenal job of keeping my fur babies, I also came home to a house as clean as I left it, which is another huge blessing after a long trip. She is the absolute best and if you want total peace of mind while you are away, Peyton is the pet sitter to choose! Seriously, I thanked God for her multiple times while I was traveling!”

“Communicated very effectively and respectfully. We observed our animals take an immediate liking to Hannah before we left on our trip. Hannah was very astute and attentive to the pets and provided plenty of updates and pictures of our animals. Highly recommend and will book again in the future.”

About: I work with animals everyday, so I definitely know their behaviors and know how to not cross boundaries with your babies! Their comfort is my priority! I will have two whole days to which I can take care of your pets 24/7! I work with animals the rest of the week so it definitely wouldn’t be much different! When I am at your house I will take great care to not touch ANYTHING I am not permitted to touch! I will follow instructions very intently.

About: I love animals, and have cared for all types of pets all my life. I will love your pets and give them the greatest of care, as if they are my own. I work from home and have a very open schedule. I also have a car and a strong work ethic so when I make a commitment to be somewhere, I am there. I prefer to come to the clients home because I know the animal will be happier in its home environment. I like to give lots of pets, love and attention. I clean up any accidents, make sure water and food bowls are in good shape and provide whatever service the Pet Parent has requested. I try to leave with the pet looking forward to its next visit from me.

About: I have been taking care of all types of pets my entire life. I have experience working with senior cats and dogs that may need extra attention. During the school year I take care of pets on weekends and some holidays. During the summer I am available any time! (I’m a teacher) I have a German shepherd and 2 cats. They typically freely roam but the dog is crated when I am not home or at night.

About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet. Please bring your pet's food in Ziploc bags with his or her name clearly written on them. If there are medications and/or supplements to be given, please include detailed and clearly written or typed instructions. What you DO NOT need to bring: food bowls water bowls pet beds/blankets toys clothes We provide toys (including indoor, outdoor, plush, toys for chewers, so let us know if your dog has a preference), beds, wipes, brushes, and crates if your pet needs one at night. Apart from our home that is open to your pet, we have an additional house on our property that can accommodate guests. We also have part-time staff who can help on an as-needed basis. Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and aging senior pets, I bring patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I’ve administered medications, handled special dietary needs, and trained basic commands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment while you’re away, so your pets feel calm, happy, and well-cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring consistent routines and lots of affection. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or managing health needs, I’m here to help your pet thrive. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and play sessions. Whether I’m working remotely or running errands, I make sure pets receive consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m flexible and can easily adjust my schedule to meet the specific needs of each pet, including early mornings, evenings, or multiple check-ins per day. I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free from hazards. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s administering medication, monitoring food intake, or reinforcing training. I build trust through gentle, consistent interaction, always respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress.
