“Issy was very responsive and worked with us to take care of our cats. She went the extra mile as well when it came to our fish. I recommend Issy's services and will not hesitate to book again.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with our kitty! I would hire her again in a heartbeat! She gave him the attention he needed, and made sure he had water and food at all times.”
“She took great care of my 2 cats, they are very energetic and she would play with them until they were tuckered out every day I was gone, I’d recommend Kat to anyone that needs their pets taken care of. Also the daily updates with pictures were cute”
“Lauren is the best!!! She is so attentive to all our care instructions for our two kitties. We've had her as our cat sitter twice now and will definitely request her again. She reads our instructions thoroughly(one of our cats is on a special diet) and takes such great care. I also love that she takes lots of photos and leaves a detailed note after each visit. It puts my mind at ease while we are away from home that's for sure! 10/10 recommend!”
About: From bulldogs to chihuahuas. I encourage lots of love and care and even know how to groom if necessary. I am home full time living with my fiancée, both of us are passionate about all animals. Both of us have or have had dogs of our own, I myself have worked with dogs in grooming, puppy daycare, and in a veterinary clinic. Each dog has their own unique personality, and it's important to cater to each dog and listen to them rather than assume you know what to do. All dogs deserve proper care and attentiveness and I can confidently say I can provide both and more for every dog I meet. Thank you kindly. Currently I am building my professional career working for vet clinics and rescues where needed, in the meantime I like to provide for my community by helping those with pet care when days get busy. After years working with pet parents and their critters, I know the importance of keeping them safe and happy. I like to build trust with a pet, reassuring them that I am someone they can feel comfortable with, here to help and not to invade their space.
“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!”
“Annabella was awesome! She came into my home to check on my dog Bear and handled everything perfectly, even though it was her first time meeting him and being in my house. Bear can be a little unsure at first, but he warmed up to her quickly which says a lot. She was super friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process feel really comfortable. I really appreciated the update and the photo she sent too. I’d definitely trust her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and great with their pet!”
“Alex has been our go-to sitter for our kitties and we truly couldn’t ask for anyone better. Her daily photos and updates reassure us that our kitties are doing well at home while we are away and that peace of mind is everything. If you are looking for someone to ensure your kitties are well cared for while you are away from home, Alex is your person. Thank you for everything Alex.”
“Heather is the best!!!!! I have now used Heather twice to watch our dog while out of town and she has been phenomenal, sends pictures and detailed message every visit and is trustworthy. We seriously couldn’t be more thankful! Thank you Heather!”
“Fantastic and very caring for the babies as usual! Our pets have an absolute blast with xianna, and I feel very confident with the care that the pets are going to get when xianna is scheduled to drop in!”
“I am so glad I found Holly. She is excellent! My dog Simon loves her. She is reliable and responds very quickly. She takes her time with Simon walking him, giving him time outside and spending time loving on him. Her notes of the visit are detailed. FShe gives him alot of love. I highly recommend her !”
About: Our family has had pets in our home for the last 20 years. We currently have one cat and two dogs, who loves having other dogs come to visit. We'll accept dogs for short stays, daycare, and boarding. We have a big backyard that allows for a lot of ball-throwing and running. Your dog will get lots of love and attention during their stay and will not be left alone. Because we work from home, your pet will get potty breaks and outdoor time whenever they want it. We love puppies and are happy to help with potty training. If you have been working with your dog on learning commands, we will continue that training while they stay with us. We'll update you throughout your pet's stay with pictures of what they've been doing. We look forward to making your pet a part of our family. Drop in visits will include feeding, play time, ball throwing, belly rubs, or whatever it is your pup enjoys. I work part time and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to do drop-ins throughout the day between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm. I will follow all instructions that are given to me and will keep your pets on any restrictions or routine that they are accustom to.
About: Hi! I’m Kenzie, and I’ve always been an animal lover. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I have a friendly, energetic, medium-sized female Brittany Spaniel of my own, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs and all the exercise, playtime, and attention that comes with them! She loves other dogs and is always happy to have a new friend to play with. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether they’re high-energy and ready for a long walk or happiest relaxing at home. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s normal routine. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while they’re in my care! I am currently at home Monday through Friday And will be home with your pet all day while they are in our home. I'm very flexible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pet has a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while they’re with me. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated along the way.
About: I have always been the “go to” for all my family, neighbors, and friends when they are in need of someone to be lovingly attentive, patient, and dependable to their pet’s needs. I have many years of experience with rescue, senior, puppies and special needs dogs. I volunteer at a local dog/cat shelter and a farm animal sanctuary in my spare time. It is an absolute joy meeting new animals and getting to know their individual personalities. My love of all animals makes this work deeply fulfilling and so much fun for me. I understand how difficult it can be to have someone else care for your pets when you have to be away. Keeping them happy, engaged and safe is what I’m best at! Lots of one on one time 😊 Playing outside, whether it be walking or hitting my local dog park, is one of my favorite things to do. With this summer heat, there will also be plenty of indoor play and mind engaging activities to enjoy as well. Snuggles and belly rubs are always on the table! I am a full time online student with plenty of time and attention to give your furry family members! I am an early riser and love a good walk or short hike to start the day off. This is my full time job so I will be there with your pet day and night! My only desire is to leave you and your pet fully satisfied with the time we spend together! That means any amount of time and attention they may need is what I’m happily available to offer. My “happy place” is with animals of all kinds so this really is just about making new furry friends for me and having some fun along the way 😊
About: I've sat for dogs of all kinds over the years as well as caring for my own. Perfectly comfortable with anything from chihuahuas to pit bulls. I currently work part time with 5 hour shifts and a flexible schedule. There's plenty of wiggle room for last minute appointments and it's easy to clear space for advanced booking. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personality and I've dogsat all over the valley. You're dog is good to go if they need lots of play time or just some cuddles.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Am comfortable with taking care of all dogs of any breed or size. I’m well experienced with larger sized dogs that are labeled as “dangerous or scary”. Where most tend to judge and label these bigger dogs as problematic I know what kind of sweethearts they truly are. However I am equipped to take care of smaller dogs just as well. I am a full time student with a full time job that allows me to work from home so that my schedule can be very flexible when it comes to dog/cat sitting. I am always available in the evening and night. As for mornings it depends but I can usually. I can schedule my time accordingly and will have the time to balance between my classes and taking care of your precious fur babies! Whenever given a job I make sure to give it my all! Unfortunately I can’t have other animals in my apartment so I will only be offering the service of taking care of them in your house. However, if given this responsibility I assure you that your home will be treated with the utmost respect. I will take care of your home as if it were my own and make sure to leave it as it was found. I am also happy and willing to do cleaning tasks on the side for extra pay.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Youngtown is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 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 5,718 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
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.
