“Cassandra is fantastic! On time, great communication, regular updates, and our pup was well cared for. We could tell from our initial meet and greet that she was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend and we will be a repeat customer for sure!”
“Daela has been the most honest, reliable, communicative - actions aligning with words pet sitter I've expirenced so far from Rover. I've had some really weird experiences with the pet sitters not staying the night or indicating their going to be at the house quite a bit but leaving most of the time or canceling last minute, but not Daela, she clearly communicates what's going on and plans ahead of and during the stay. Shes great! She's so sweet with the animals as well. Took Millie on walks and play dates, etc. Would book her again 100%!”
“Chuck was awesome with our dogs. He is very easy to work with too. We had to change our reservation a few times due to unexpected issues and he was very accommodating. Chuck kept in contact with us during our trip. Letting us know how the dogs were doing. Even sent a picture of them in his lap. They love him. We will be using him for all future trips. Thank you Chuck for being so kind and gentle with our babies.”
“Monica was absolutely fantastic! Our pups loved having her there, especially our dog who is terrified of fireworks. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be using Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Monica! ❤️”
“We really appreciated the care our Rover sitter gave our two dogs while we were away overnight. He was available on short notice, responded promptly, and came by for a meet-and-greet very soon afterward, which we really appreciated. He communicated well throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. I had told him it was completely fine if he skipped our dogs' morning walk since we were only gone for one day, but he took them anyway, and I truly appreciated the extra effort. After we had already booked, I also asked if he could turn our leopard geckos' lights on and off, and he was happy to help with that as well. Most importantly, our two pups mean the world to us, so knowing they were well cared for gave us great peace of mind. They are an important part of our family, and we're very grateful for the excellent care and attention they received. Thank you, Jonathan!”
“Annabella did a great job taking care of our dog! Good communication, sent lots of photos and hung out with her giving her lots of care and attention. Definitely recommend!”
“Kalin was FANTASTIC. I had a bad run with another puppy sitter that I found on Rover. And I was a bit nervous to go on another trip, but I was very thankful that I chose and went with Kalin, because the difference in care was so evident. I feel like she did go above and beyond. I know my puppy is young and has all the energy, and she made sure she was at least walked twice a day, and all the fetch. She picked up the poop after every go, and ensured the house was tidy. I do have roommates but it's very important to me not to expect them to take care of my new puppy. Feedback from my roommates was glowing as well. She messaged me lots of videos and pictures and kept me updated and reassured while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Kalin again. ❤️”
“Tonya T was amazing! It was her first time sitting with our 1 year old Jingles and she was very engaged in keeping Jingles busy and happy. He loved her. She texted us about what they were doing and sent pictures and videos. We will definitely rebook her!”
About: I have owned and cared for many animals since I was a kid and have professionally cared for animals for 3 years. I currently have 3 feline fur babies aged 12, 10, and 3 years old. One is special needs. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and birds. This includes baby, special needs, and elderly animals of all sorts. Whatever needs your pets have, I can handle! I do have a semi-part time job as a server at a restaurant. I work 5-8 hour shifts about 25-35 hours a week. I work mornings between the hours of 645am-430pm. I'm willing to work out scheduling with you and figure out how to best meet your pets needs! I cannot care for animals in my home due to owning 3 fur babies of my own and wouldn't want to stress them or your animals out. However I am able to come to your home or take them out to a park any time you need including overnights!
“Once again, Sheyna provided excellent care for our dogs while we were away. This was our first time leaving our new dog at home, and she took great care of him while constantly keeping us updated on how he was doing. We will continue to book with Sheyna for all of our pet sitting needs.”
“Juliett was wonderful! She provided consistent updates and did a great job with my dogs. She spent consistent time with them to ease their discomfort when I’m out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Adrian did a wonderful job house sitting for our two pups. It was our first time ever using a service like Rover, and he was a great representative! Communication was timely and caring. He is very personable and also jumped in immediately to help us when our first sitter had to cancel with a medical emergency even before we had our meet and greet with her. We highly recommend him and plan to use him for future needs.”
“Seriously Pei-Wen is like the sweetest person alive! While our situation was less than ideal with cancelled flights, then rebooked middle of the night flights, and a rather large dog that was scared of her almost the entire time, she did amazing. She stuck the week out and let me spend time with my family. I came home to happy dogs, a clean house, and feeling refreshed from being able to get away. Grateful for her and Julius.”
“Charis was fabulous with our 4 fur babies! She sent us daily updates and communications. The babies loved her and she handled their varying ages and needs perfectly! She even brought them toys!! Booking her again right now!!”
“Angela was absolutely amazing! I felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home and care for our dog, Stevie. She was kind, responsible, and treated Stevie like family. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Angela followed our routine, took great care of our home, and went above and beyond to make sure Stevie felt happy and loved. As a newly adopted 1-year-old German Shepherd, husky mix with some quirks, Stevie needed patience and understanding, and Angela provided exactly that. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with both your pet and your home, but Angela made it easy. We would gladly have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“I cannot say enough about Nikki taking care of our 14 year old Boston Terrier. As a senior Ethel is on numerous medications, has some hearing loss as well as cataracts. When we first met Nikki we knew that she was a keeper. Se arrived early and spoiled Ethel so much. We received updates on her along with photos. Her caring nature and her ability to connect with Ethrl made us feel so comfortable. We will continue to use Nikki as long as we have pets.”
“Maddie was perfect! I was very nervous about leaving my babies but Maddie went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of and I was at ease. Could not recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from time to time. Any point a family member or friend needed their dog to be taken care of, I was their choice. First experience was when I was 12. Athletic Runner background: 4+ of running experience, long distance Am able to have pets exercise by running with them when we go out on simple walks. Be able to match their explosive energy when wanting to go out and play. Currently working part-time, usually known to be scheduled for the end of the week and during the weekend. Busier around holidays and or events. More of a night owl, my activities start to ramp up around late evening, some among with exercise. I’ll make sure to keep them company when they desire. Always checking to see if they’re good on food and water. If they’re wanting to play, I can always make time and stay. Always making sure they’re satisfied when coming back from a walk / run. As they tend to last longer with my extensive running experience.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Youngtown is $50

We really appreciated the care our Rover sitter gave our two dogs while we were away overnight. He was available on short notice, responded promptly, and came by for a meet-and-greet very soon afterward, which we really appreciated. He communicated well throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. I had told him it was completely fine if he skipped our dogs' morning walk since we were only gone for one day, but he took them anyway, and I truly appreciated the extra effort. After we had already booked, I also asked if he could turn our leopard geckos' lights on and off, and he was happy to help with that as well. Most importantly, our two pups mean the world to us, so knowing they were well cared for gave us great peace of mind. They are an important part of our family, and we're very grateful for the excellent care and attention they received. Thank you, Jonathan!
Angela has been fantastic, so patient with my anxious rescue dog. She handled some difficult situations professionally and kindly. She was great about communicating my pets’ needs, sending updates and pictures. My cat warmed up to her immediately. It was so comforting to feel I was leaving my pets in such reliable hands.
Diego stayed at our house and took care of our 2 dogs for about a week and a half. Our dogs loved him! And he provided us regular pictures and updates everyday which we really appreciate. He was super responsive and followed everything we asked of him. Overall excellent dog sitter and will book with him in the future.
Lauren has been a loving, caring and devote sitter for my three fur babies, she has been a excited communicator and she has gone above and beyond to make our fur babies comfortable as possible while we were gone. Lauren provided photos and updates which is very appreciative. Our flight was delayed and she reached out to stay a little longer which we appreciate knowing our babies were looked after by their favorite hooman :D definitely highly recommended and looking forward to booking with her in the future. Thank you Lauren <3

FAQs for House Sitting - Youngtown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Youngtown on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,916 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Youngtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Youngtown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Youngtown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Youngtown. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
