About: I have grown up around all types of animals. It is my passion to care for them and make sure they feel loved. I go the extra mile to make sure everything is good! :) I am currently unemployed, so I have a lot of time to care for pets. Of course not 24/7 because I need to love and care for my Marty! But, my availability is pretty open. I don’t currently allow other pets to come into my home, but I am able to stop by your home, if needed to check on/feed the pets.
About: Since I was a little girl I’ve been surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, even goats! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve taken care of many different kinds of cats and dogs! All with different temperaments and needs, such as a special diet, medication, behavioral issues, reactivity, etc. As a pet owner myself who is a stay at home dog mom, pet care is my everyday! I love doing it and would love to do it for you as needed!! I won’t be bringing animals to my home but I would love to check on your furry friend for you as much as you’d like me to! I would check in a much as you are wanting me to, send photo updates and communicate as much as you’d like me to!

“Maddie was absolutely the best choice for a care taker for my babies. She played with them, sent sweet pictures of them to me daily. They absolutely adore her and she will forever be our person!”
“Claudia has been the best! She has looked over our pups a few times now and its been wonderful. Our new puppy Enzo is very scared of people and Claudia kept trying to help him not be afraid. From when he met her until the last visit he has improved so much! Thank you :)”
“Daisy is kind, considerate and communicative! We’ve booked with her many times, and will continue to do so. It’s nice to know we don’t need to stress about our fur babies when we’re out of the area 💛”
“Great experience with Amasiah! We've hired him twice to watch after my Alaskan malamute and Chihuahua. He has a great demeanor with them and they enjoy him. He's punctual and follows direction which has made travel for us stress free.”
About: I’ve worked in the pet food and health industry for 11 years, I have had pets all my life, I have compassion for all animals. Your dog will always be treated with respect and kindness. I work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your family pet. We have a small doggy door plus a yard We have a green shady block fenced yard pets are allowed where humans are plenty of space inside for lounging or playing and bathed if needed
“Friendly and professional service. Good with communicating arrival times, any issues and status updates on the walking / feeding went of my dog. Would recommend and use Kathy’s services again.”
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
“Leslie is so great! She fed and administered meds to our two kitties for four days while we were away on a trip. We could tell right away at our meet & greet that she is very good with animals. Even our normally shy / skittish kitty came out of the back room and went right up to Leslie to greet her. When we got home my wife commented on how good our one kitty who receives meds looked, and they both were happy and relaxed; none of the complaining ‘I’m mad because you’ve been gone!’ Meowing that we used to get upon returning. Thank you, Leslie! Highly recommended, and we definitely will be booking her again if we can!”
“Sabrena was very patient and receptive to our routine and each of my pups’ needs. My anxious dog quickly acclimated to her and both dogs were in safe care. Very pleased with her communication and timeliness!”
“Tiffany was a great dog sitter! She was punctual, communicative and took great care of my senior dog. The house was in perfect condition when I came back home. I would recommend her and welcome her back anytime!”
“The week we were to be gone, our dog injured her leg (she is almost 15 YOA) and not only needed additional meds, but assistance getting up and outside. They did a great job checking in 2x/ day and helping her navigate. We really appreciated their extra attention. We also had our daughters dog here.”
About: A cozy home away from home. I've raised three puppies, cared for two rescue dogs, and fostered pets who needed a loving home. I have plenty of land for dogs to run and play, with a cozy indoor space to relax afterward. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and truly love animals of all ages. I’m available 24/7, including weekends. Whether it’s an emergency, last-minute meeting, or family event, you can call or message anytime—I’m always here to support you and your pet I care for pets in my home, where they’re treated like part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to run. Inside, pets can relax in a cozy, home-style environment. I have two friendly, playful dogs—a puppy and a one-year-old—both crate trained, with a playpen available if needed. Pets are welcome on the couch. After outdoor time, I wipe down paws and coats to keep everyone clean and comfortable. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, special needs, medications, and any specific requests. I respect that every pet and owner has unique care requirements, and I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care at all times.
About: I love animals, and I’m happy to report they love me too. I grew up with 2 big dogs, and now I have 2 cats. I helped raised a puppy (so hard, and so rewarding), and I rescued and raised a kitten (love of my life). I love caring for any and all pets, and I would love to help take care of yours. I will always prioritize attentive care to your pet and attentive updates for you. I work full time, but mostly from home and with a flexible schedule. With some heads up I can make most times work, just reach out! I’d love to come by and meet you and your pet, to make sure it’s a good fit. Your expectations and your privacy are very important to me.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Youngtown is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,582 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Youngtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Youngtown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
