“I was so happy with the care Kaela gave my three dogs while I was away. She administered eye drops to my one dog who is admittedly temperamental at times; she provided photos throughout her stay to ensure me that the dogs were alright; the backyard was picked up and water tubs were full; I believe she even cleaned my house! She is an absolutely trustworthy, respectful, and responsible individual. I will definitely call her to dog sit again!”
“Avivah did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs over an 11 day vacation. When she came over a couple days later to drop off the house key the dogs were more excited to see her then when we got home! We will definitely request her as a sitter in the future.”
“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!”
“Sheyna was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our time away. Our pets were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved the attention. We would definitely book with Sheyna again and highly recommend her.”
“Kalin was great as always! Sending lovely videos and photos and always following any requests or directions left. My one dog can be a little picky about people and she loves to cuddle with Kalin, which is the best recommendation I could ever think of!”
“Daela was great with our 2 dogs & 2 cats. She stayed with them at our house for a week while we were away & they were happy & healthy when we got home! She was easy to get ahold of the entire time we were away & sent daily updates with pictures.”
“Brenda took very good care of our two rescue terrier mix doggies, and also our home! We were away for five days and everything went very well. She even washed and replaced the towels and sheets she used, which I was so grateful for! Thank you, Brenda!”
“Alexandria is so sweet and flexible and she really cares about our dog. Leaving your pup while on vacation can be stressful but Alexandria sends so many updates and makes sure that I know pup is okay. She has always gone above and beyond for our dog. I can’t say enough good things. Thank you so much!”
“Allison exceeded our expectations! She was excellent at communicating, took amazing care of our dog, and left the house in great shape! Wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with our dog again.”
“Krystal A. was awesome! My dog fell in love with her so quickly and he is very shy. She did a great job paying attention to him and keeping him on his normal routine. I hope to book her again soon.”
About: current pets: 2 hermit crabs (5yrs), frenchie mix rescue (1yr) previous: dogs - newfie, black lab, husky, chihuahua. cats - several, mostly of stray lineage i have experience giving general meds to cats and dogs ie pills, eye drops, even with the most finicky of cats! not afraid of getting scratched either, it happens especially with meds. Your pets’ needs will always be met under my care and I am fully transparent with my pricing & tech savvy; if you have any questions during the booking or issues with the Rover system, never hesitate to ask questions about any of the aforementioned topics! *if you are 20+ miles round trip from my home (10 miles away) a service fee of 15 will be added to the booking upon initial request* I am typically fully available on weekends as I am a cleaning lady during Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, let me know if you are interested in cleaning services as well! I also respond very quickly most of the time, especially if I have/am around your pet (unless we are becoming best buds and we are distracted) Rover card always includes pictures. I usually message an ETA before I arrive in case of alarm systems or similar. When in your home, I follow the care plan and instructions given to a T and ask questions if necessary/applicable, door is always locked behind me upon entering. Check for messes, follow routine; my only deviation I typically do is adding (filtered, and if possible) water to the pets food, dehydration is very common in AZ. And most pets love it, highly recommend it! I also clean bowls, take out trash, and wipe down countertops. Double check all doors and windows are secure/not broken and that AC is working before locking up and heading out.
“Laura consistently goes above and beyond. We had a sick pet and she took care of him like he was her own. Very appreciative of all the communication and love she shows.”
“Sydney was wonderful with Daisey. This was her first time staying in our home, and she did such a great job caring for Daisey and making sure she was happy and comfortable. I felt completely at ease knowing Daisey was in such caring hands. I would definitely recommend Sydney and will happily have her care for Daisey again.”
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds! I am animal lover who is also patient with pets that can be shy at first. I love going for walks and going to parks with pups that are into that and I'm also good for a snuggle with the older pets. I'm very clean, reliable and trustworthy as a house guest. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! I work a part-time job in Surprise Thursday-Saturday. My shifts are typically only 5-6 hours long, so I'm very available to care for your fur babies! My other job is also part time and is remote so I am home with my computer much of the time. I'm very outdoorsy so spending time in the yard, going for walks and playing at the park is almost as much fun for me as it is for your pup! My dog, that has passed away, was a runner so I understand the importance of utilizeing a good leash and making sure all gates and doors are secured properly.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and had other animals like turtles, hamsters, guinea pig and cats but size doesn’t matter to me. I’m free pretty much most days I work online and have classes online so I’m able to be home all day if needed by you. I’ve had animals all my life and I love them all to death. My dog of 14 years recently passed away a couple of months ago so I looking to get more experience with any animal.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 18 years, starting with family pets and continuing with my own dog for the past 8 years. I also frequently help care for pets belonging to family and friends. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routine comfortable and familiar. Please let me know anything your furry friend might need to feel comfortable while you’re away and I am happy to make it happen! I plan my day around pet care, making time for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I keep a consistent schedule so each pet gets reliable, focused attention. I follow each pet’s routine exactly—feeding, walks, play, and quiet time. I keep their space clean, safe, and comfortable and give consistent updates for peace of mind.
“Daisy B. did an exceptional job of caring for our Merlot and Jazzy. She kept the house and backyard clean. played with the dogs every day. Kept them well fed and Sent us pictures of each day’s activity. Daisy Is very responsive to messages very polite. It Such a joy having someone as professional and caring towatch our puppies at home while we were gone on vacation. Highly recommend Daisey for all home and pet care needs.”
About: My family has owned dogs and cats for my entire life. Since as early as I remember I've helped care for, watch, feed, play with, and walk dogs and cats. Within the last few years, I started officially dog sitting. And within the last year I began cat sitting. I'm never away from home for more than 5 hours at a time, typically only 2 or 3 on weekdays and 5 on weekends. (please note that my preferred name is Layla) I'm a full time student, but my classes are online. I also work part time, but I will never be gone for more than 5 hours at a time. Typically during the weekdays I'm only gone 2-3 hours if any. I am always attentive and careful with any animal. I am more than willing to go on multiple walks and play with your pets to help them burn off energy. I also enjoy playing mind stimulating games with pets, especially dogs. For example, I will hide treats around the house and then send the dog to "hunt" for them.

I feel like Jonathan was very good with my dogs. He was with them for 5 days. Both my labradoodles like him. I think he has a kind spirit. That was my main concern. Joathan was good on the job. Dog run was clear. house looked good, Kitchen was clean, all bedding was in the laundry room........What's not to like! J
We had such a wonderful experience with Jade! She took excellent care of our pup and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her🐶🐾
Jean is a wonderful pet sitter! She cared for my 5 lb Yorkie, Mindy, in our home. Mindy LOVES Jean. I could tell from the numerous pictures she took, including doggie kisses. Jean was in communication with me daily which is so important to this doggie momma. She cared for our home like it was her own. Thank you, Jean, for the great service you provided. I will definitely be hiring her again. 💗
We couldn't have asked for a better pet and house sitter! She stayed in our home for two weeks while caring for our dog, Kona, and gave us complete peace of mind the entire time. She sent constant photo updates, which made being away so much easier, and it was obvious from every picture how happy and well cared for Kona was. She truly went above and beyond. Not only did she make sure Kona was well-fed and even picked up more food for him when he needed it, but she also took wonderful care of his skin (bulldogs can be difficult!) and overall well-being. When we came home, Kona was happy, healthy, and clearly loved. She also took exceptional care of our home. It was absolutely spotless when we returned, and she even took care of extra household tasks like outdoor cleanup and taking out the trash. On top of all that, she left us thoughtful goodies, which was such a sweet surprise. She is reliable, communicative, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. We trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and home. We will absolutely be booking her again!
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

The average cost of House Sitting in Youngtown is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $77 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 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 .
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. 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.
