“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.”
“Dani was great! From our first meeting to her last visit, she was wonderful with our pups. I felt so at ease being out of town knowing that my dogs would be cared for by someone who loves what they do and would take care of my dogs like they were her own. We will definitely be using Dani’s services again in the future.”
“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.
“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.”
“Dina was very reliable, caring and an effective communicator before, during and after 6-day check ins with my cat. I had full confidence in her during that time period (which included admin of medication) that my cat was well cared for. I will use Dina’s services for any future need.”
“Gabriella is absolutely amazing! She has such a wonderful energy and spirit. She was happy to help me out with a last minute booking, even making time for the meet and greet only a day after requesting a booking. She was so sweet and attentive with my babies! It was my first time leaving them and she took care of everything from my pets to my home! I highly recommend her!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Faith perform daily visits for my best buddy, JoJo. I have used Faith several times in the past and she is without doubt my favorite cat sitter and for good reasons. The love for all animals that Faith demonstrates was obvious when I first met her. JoJo can be quite an aloof cat and Faith really goes out of her way to be sure JoJo gets the love and affection deserved. Her care allows me to enjoy my time away from home without worry. Best of all, she sends daily pics of Jojo so i can still connect with him in my mind. Quite comforting! Thanks for everything and keep on doing what you do…”
“Heather is simply amazing! She is incredibly thorough with her visits and always makes sure my pets are well cared for and comfortable. She is friendly, dependable, and very responsive, which gives me so much peace of mind when I am away. I truly appreciate the updates and attention to detail. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after!”
“Avivah was great! Prompt communication and always reliable on each visit. My cat Frankie LOVED her - she’s so great with the animals. I would absolutely recommend booking Avivah, and she will be my first choice for my next Rover booking!”
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.
“Cassandra is super friendly and is extremely patient with our shy/anxious dog. She went above and beyond to connect with him on his terms. Looking forward to working with her in the future!”
“Krysten did a fantastic job with my 2 dogs. She was professional and prompt. She provided me with pictures each day and details about the visits. I highly recommend her and will definitely be a repeat customer when the time comes!”
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!

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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Youngtown. On Rover:

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 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.
