“Brendan was great with our dogs who are very high energy. He was very communicative, reliable, and flexible which we really appreciated. We’re grateful our dogs were in his amazing care and services when we were away.”
“Krysten did a fantastic job with the drop in visits for my dog Buddy. She was communicative, punctual, sent pictures, did everything I asked of her with regards to some special instructions for medicine and feeding, and went above and beyond to spend time with Buddy while I was at work. I couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended and would book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: From a very young age I've had dogs..mixed, labs, and rescued Goldens. I'm active and will love walking and playing with your dog. My children and grandchildten have St. Bernard, Doberman, Rottweiler, and a small white dog. Retired and have all the time in the world to give your fur baby. A typical day would be to go out, eat, go for a walk, go out at noon. Eat supper and go for a walk, and go put before bed We can play fetch, eat , sleep, and have lots of fun. I miss having a dog so will love having yours. Can administer medication if needed and will always walk with a leash.
“First time using Rover with Mindy chosen for stop in visits for our two dogs. Went great, complete piece of mind about leaving our dogs and house open to Mindy. Mindy communicated via Rover emails a long with multiple photos of our pups with each visit. Thank you Mindy and appreciate you.”
About: As a proud pet parent to five dogs of my own, my life revolves around animals and their happiness! Managing a large, diverse pack has given me invaluable, hands-on experience for multiple different breeds, small and large, with everything from high-energy playtime to specialized feeding schedules (including medical care) and multi-dog dynamics. I have multiple years of experience through volunteer work and have aided in the care of dogs of all ages including puppies and senior dogs. My care also extends beyond canines, I have experience babysitting cats, so I'm well versed in feline personalities, litter box maintenance, and giving cats their space (or all the cuddles they want). My passion for animal welfare runs deep, for the past two years, I have founded and run a local fundraiser dedicated to supporting our area's animal shelters. Whether your pet needs high-energy companionship or calm, patient supervision, I treat every guest with the same love, dedication, and safety that I give to my own pack. I often have availability seven days a week, making it easy to accommodate your pet's specific routine, whether they need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or random check ins. Because my schedule is often highly flexible, I am happy to adjust to last-minute requests and ensure your pet gets undivided attention whenever they need it. When caring for your pets in your home, my top priorities are their safety, comfort, and keeping their normal routine completely intact. I strictly follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions to minimize any stress or anxiety they might feel while you are away. I treat your home with the utmost respect by ensuring doors are locked, security systems are armed, and everything is kept clean and tidy. To give you total peace of mind, I will send you regular photo and video updates throughout my stay so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the absolute best care.
About: I have two goldendoodles named Lacy & Prince. I also have an english springer spaniel / doodle mix rescue, Manny. Lacy is 9 years old, Prince is 5, and Manny is 2. I work for myself so I create my own schedule, so I would love to spend my extra time loving on someone else’s fur babies! I am a sucker for all animals as I grew up on a farm in southern Illinois. At one time we had 13 family dogs, numerous cats, goats, donkeys, horses, you name it- all running around! I was made for this 😌 I am a stay-at-home mom and small business owner, which allows me to create my own schedule and be flexible throughout the day. Because I work from home & control my hours, I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for and spend time with my own dogs every day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have three friendly dogs of my own and understand how important it is to leave your pet’s care with someone you trust. I treat every dog as if they were part of my family, providing plenty of love, supervision, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and routine, and I am happy to provide photo and video updates anytime.
About: Hello! I am a full-time pet sitter with a deep passion for, and extensive experience in, caring for senior dogs. Because I work from home, I can provide 24/7 supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a quiet, stress-free environment for older dogs. I have years of experience managing mobility issues, administering oral medications and supplements, and following strict vet routines. Whether your older dog needs slow, gentle walks or just a cozy lap to cuddle on, I am dedicated to giving them the golden-years TLC they deserve. Working from home allows me to seamlessly integrate my pet's care into my day by using my remote breaks for walks and feeding, ensuring my work and pet duties are perfectly balanced. I care for pets by strictly following your established routines for feedings, walks, playtime, and medications to ensure they remain safe, happy, and stress-free in their own environment.
About: My name is Jonathan I am a pheonix native. I work full time in the medical field. I know how important customer service is when dealing with people's health. Showing patients compassion while still running a company. I use that experience with your pets. Show them lots of attention and care and most of all keep them safe until your return. I work full time Monday-Friday available after 6 pm my optimal hours would be Friday afternoons - Sunday evenings as well as all holiday! I know most of all how hard it is to bring yourself to let your dog be watched by someone else. Especially with some of the horrible things that we have seen on the news in the past few years. That's why I see this as an opportunity to help people who need this service feel calm and relaxed( as much as possible that is) to be confident thier dogs will NEVER be mistreated. They will always have AC, water,food,dog beds and attention.
“Xianna was amazing! Augustus loved having her come over while I was at work and I was so thankful for the all the pictures and little notes she would send me afterwards. Xianna truly took care of him like he was her own dog! I will definitely be rebooking her again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting, dog walking, and house sitting for over a decade for my neighbors, coworkers, friends of friends, family members through word of mouth as well as people I met at the dog park or other local areas like lakes / rivers / farms who I befriended and was hired by. Most of my clients have been with me for 8+ years! I volunteered at a horse rescues & cat / dog rescue for many years. I worked at a dog training, daycare, and boarding facility as well. We have 4 dogs & had a range of animals under our roof over the years from foster kittens & foster puppies to snakes & iguanas. 2 of our dogs have completed their Canine Good Citizen tests, our big dog is working on his Public Access and my pup is service trained. I am working on official training credentials but am happy to work with your pup if you would like. I work from home. I have plenty of time to spend with your best furry friend(s) so they get exercise and lots of love while you’re away. I spend as much time as possible with everyone so they all get exercise and loves. My home has a dog door and run for 24/7 access for bathroom breaks and water. Happy to swim with your pup too if they enjoy water.
“Tricia was great!!! She stopped by twice a day to feed and water my girls. I felt so comfortable with her entering my house. I was given a report card with photos each time she stopped by. I will definitely be using Tricia again.”
About: I genuinely love dogs. While they are at our house they are part of the family. I love taking a walk. When a dog accompanies me it's even better. I don't mind throwing the ball again and again and again. While watching friends' pets, I make every effort to maintain the dogs' routine, give meds, ear drops, baths, etc. and follow owners instructions. After our 16 year old dog died we agreed not to own another dog but we've enjoyed "hosting" our friends' dogs so much. And we've discovered we feel the same way about guest dogs: thrilled when they visit, happy when they leave (just like grandkids). I envy people I see walking their dogs. It combines two of my favorite things - being outside and being in the company of a dog. I often felt overwhelmed when I was working full-time so I appreciate others with busy schedules and lives sometimes can use help to keep "all the balls in the air". It sounds corny but I do enjoy helping out whether it's stopping in to visit with a pet home alone or being a pet's companion while it's owners are away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. Around the age of 12 I began pet sitting for families in my neighborhood. A few years ago I got my own puppy and potty trained/ fed/ walked/ bathed him. I am able to take care of dogs with special needs, I have given medication before, to include insulin shots! I’m currently in the military so I work M-F. I’m usually home by 5pm during the week and I have weekends off. I’d be available any time as long as it’s not during my work hours! There is a pet park thats a 5min walk from my apartment so I’d happily walk your dogs there to let them socialize if that’s what you’re looking for. There is also a courtyard at my apartment complex.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Youngtown is $20

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Youngtown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Youngtown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
