About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years - for friends, family and clients! Patience and snuggles are my motto! I can’t remember a time in my life I didn’t have an animal in my life personally and love when I’m able to help others! I work from home in a pretty flexible job- so I get to spend plenty of time with my furry friends throughout the day! Walks, pets, snuggles and treats! I lean towards what makes you feel best! I am used to animals that are well trained and ones that are still learning and growing. Safety of the pets and those around are always what is most important!
“Laura is awesome! She is super communicative, kind and so attentive to our fur babies and their needs. Loved the photos she sent, too. Laura was flexible and very understanding throughout our booking. When we were unreachable during our trip, she coordinated with our neighbors as needed. Highly recommend and so grateful for her services!”
About: I LOVE taking care of animals! I pride myself in giving them comfort and love while their owners are away. I’ve taken care of many different age range animals and health conditions for over 5 years. I am currently working part time and have availability in the early mornings, after 1:30pm and evenings as well. I can do one time checks ins or up to three if needed, I know everyone’s babies are different and may need more than one check in a day. On the weekends I’m also available! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, keep their routine consistent, and treat them like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or extra cuddles, you can count on me to provide dependable, loving care while keeping you updated with messages and photos if requested.
“Allison is amazing! Max hid under the bed (as he always does when stangers arrive) during her initial visit. She reached under the bed to let him smell her hand before she left. When she arrived for her first sitting visit, he came out and was as friendly as ever. Max knew, as I did that Allison was a friend. I highly recommend Allison as a sitter.”

“Daizy is great! Everything you’d want in a host - responsive, communicative, flexible, and a genuine animal lover. She sent us plenty of pictures, and when we came home I could tell my boys had been well taken care of. We have been booking with Daizy since we moved to the area and will continue to do so. I recommend her to others in the Goodyear area!”
“Cody.... is a lot of help... he feed and walked my dog and sent me photos... very professional... I would highly recommend him for dog sitting or visits or whatever you might need... he is very easy to communicate with and trustworthy...”
About: My parents bred dogs growing up, so I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. I used to dog sit for friends and family as well, so I’m comfortable going to others’ houses to feed and let dogs out. I’m currently a grad school student, so I’m just trying to fit in money making opportunities where I can. Plus, it’ll give me a good excuse to pause on my homework! I love taking the time to give dogs lots of pets and get their energy out until their owner returns. I also walk out with the dogs when I let them out so they’re not left in the heat too long.
About: I have experience caring and owning dogs and have fully experienced the many different personalities each pet can have. I'm very comfortable dealing with anxious and excited doggos and have no problem taking time to build a relationship with each one. I am currently unemployed so I am able to care for pets at all times of the day and stay overnight to keep then company. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine, and any instructions provided for pets needing medication. I also spend additional time bonding with them and letting them get used to me being around even if that means keeping my distance until they work up to me. I have 0 problems handling pets with potty issues as most of the ones I watch have accidents waiting for me when I arrive!
About: From bulldogs to chihuahuas. I encourage lots of love and care and even know how to groom if necessary. I am home full time living with my fiancée, both of us are passionate about all animals. Both of us have or have had dogs of our own, I myself have worked with dogs in grooming, puppy daycare, and in a veterinary clinic. Each dog has their own unique personality, and it's important to cater to each dog and listen to them rather than assume you know what to do. All dogs deserve proper care and attentiveness and I can confidently say I can provide both and more for every dog I meet. Thank you kindly. Currently I am building my professional career working for vet clinics and rescues where needed, in the meantime I like to provide for my community by helping those with pet care when days get busy. After years working with pet parents and their critters, I know the importance of keeping them safe and happy. I like to build trust with a pet, reassuring them that I am someone they can feel comfortable with, here to help and not to invade their space.
“Our fur babies love Laura. She is very kind and responsible. We can now feel comfortable in leaving our dogs for a bit knowing Laura is here to care for them. We highly recommend Laura.”
About: I've cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, tortoises, and fish, and have experience pet sitting overnight for many families. I'm especially passionate about caring for senior pets and those with physical disabilities. I've cared for two elderly dogs with mobility challenges, including one who lost the use of their back legs and needed assistance getting around and going outside. I understand that these pets require extra patience, gentleness, and individualized care, and I'm committed to making them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also volunteered for two years at a cat shelter, where I fed cats, deep-cleaned kennels and litter boxes, monitored their health, and administered medications according to their care plans. I also have experience giving medications to dogs. While I'm not a certified trainer, I've trained my own dogs and know how important consistency is. I'm happy to follow your pet's established commands, routines, and house rules to help them feel secure and maintain good habits. Living in Arizona has made me very flexible with schedules, including early morning or late evening walks during the summer heat. Above all, I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. As a graduate student, I attend classes Tuesday through Thursday, but I stay overnight in your home and return as soon as my classes are finished. My class schedule is consistent each week, so you'll always know when I'll be away and when I'll be back. I'm fully available Friday through Monday. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I believe the best pet care starts with keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any household rules or commands your pet is already familiar with so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs extra assistance, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, make sure fresh water is always available, and provide plenty of affection while respecting each pet's individual personality and boundaries. I also know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Angel is amazing and so patient with my anxious pups! She keeps me updated throughout the day, including pictures. My puppies warmed up to her so easily and love having her around. Angel truly goes above and beyond to make sure they get the proper care they need! I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. We’ve always had pets growing up. I actually had the responsibility of having my own hamster at 10 years old. I currently have a very flexible schedule as I study for a license so what better way to earn little than to be around pets!!!! My pets are very spoiled! My cats have their own room as well as the whole house. Although my 4 pound Chihuahua is queen of the house
“Dani is THE BEST she is always professional and can be trusted if any emergency arises and will care for your pet as if it was her own. She is a treasure! Thank you Dani for your kindness, Bear loves to see you!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, giving me a lifelong love and understanding of what makes our canine companions so special. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of dog sitting for many friends and family members, providing everything from energetic playtime to calm companionship. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved! I’m currently a college student therefore I am not going to school in the summer. My schedule is very flexible no matter the day or time! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime preferences, and any medications or special care needs. I’ll also make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and interaction while you’re away. In addition to pet care, I’ll keep your home tidy and treat it with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to ensure both you and your pet feel completely at ease during my visits!
“I highly recommend Christina! She was wonderful with our three cats. She is prompt, very easy to communicate with and we felt very safe giving her access to our home. Everything went smoothly and we are very grateful for her help!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Youngtown
Kat was awesome! She came over for a meet and greet, followed all of my animals’ needs, took the cutest pictures, and communicated great through the whole process for a drop-in visit! 100 percent rebooking if we need her again! (Side-note, she didn’t let my dog’s jumping stop her from coming over and providing care, which is a plus!!)
Had a great experience with this Lauren for drop-in visits for my two dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets. I appreciated the updates and photos—it gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I’ll definitely book with Lauren again!
Sophia went WAY above and beyond what we asked of her with no questions asked. We were honestly expecting to return to a horrifically dirty house because of our 4 animals after a week! We returned to an almost spotless house with many countermeasures put in place to prevent our animals from destroying everything! Thanks Sophia!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Youngtown is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $30 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Youngtown 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
