About: I do work full-time, but am home in the evenings. I LOVE animals, but do not feel that I have the time needed to be a 'full time' caregiver. This is perfect for my lifestyle! I would treat your pet like a part of my family. I've always had dogs growing up and love having them as companions. I would walk your pet in the mornings and evenings. Looking forward to meeting you and your special pet!! I can accommodate special requests and am happy to answer any questions that you might have. References are available upon request. Thank you for reading my profile. I currently work full time, but would love to come and stay with your pet to provide day and nighttime companionship. I would adhere to the schedule for your pet and would not adjust (no people food, etc). I would let your fur babies out in the morning, again at lunch time, and would be at your residence for the rest of the day and night, starting at 4:30pm on workdays, and all day and night on the weekends. I would care for your pets as if they were my own. I take pet sitting very seriously and want to be the person that you could depend on to look after your fur family.
“Allison was great with our dogs while we were away! I could tell they both really loved her! She made sure to send lots of pictures and spend time with our dogs during her visits. I highly recommend!”
“Mary is truly exceptional. After adopting my dog from a shelter, I encountered various behavioral challenges. My concerns about finding a suitable pet sitter for my dog, given her anxiety, were significant. However, Mary possesses the expertise and understanding necessary for managing dogs with behavioral issues. Her extensive background with rescue dogs is evident in her approach. My dog has never exhibited such a sense of security with anyone else apart from me. I wholeheartedly recommend Mary without reservation.”
About: If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care about your pets instead of just checking off a to-do list, you’ve found the right person. I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. I currently have a large dog of my own, so I’m comfortable with big breeds, energetic pets, and those that need a little extra patience. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, get belly rubs, or just have someone nearby while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to care for mine. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule. My work schedule changes from week to week, but I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, feeding, playtime, or overnight care in your home, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works for everyone. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. All services will be provided in your home, where your pet can stay in a familiar environment and stick to their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, training, or special needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll treat your home and your animals with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
“Jess was great! She did a great job with communicating a meet and greet and all the details about the drop-ins for my cat. She really made me feel comfortable he was getting all the cuddles and attention he needed :)”
About: I have over ten years of animal care experience. From senior dogs and cats to puppies and kittens, I am patient, responsible, and fun. I would love to give your fur baby some love and appreciate your trust in me. I am free on all weekends and holidays. I do work an 8 hour shift monday through friday, 6:45am to 3:15pm. I walk daily so having a companion with me fits in perfectly. I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat. I go on daily walks myself so having a fur companion with me would be something I would love!
“Renae was outstanding. This was our first experience with Rover and it couldn't have went better. She was always on time and offered to do other things in the house. She sent us pictures and updates about the dog. The most important thing is that she was wonderful with our dog. You can not go wrong with hiring Renae to watch your pups. She is first class. A+”
“Kaleigh really stepped up when the previous sitter canceled without even so much as a message. She obviously has a history of working with dogs. She was informative and easy to contact. I would definitely recommend and will keep her at the top of my list next time I need a sitter.”
About: I’m Emily! A little about me: I love to run, lift, paint, and read. I am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh studying Speech Pathology and Audiology who’s home for the summer! I've been a pet owner myself for about 5 years now. My family currently has three cats and has had a dog and another cat in the past. Within the last seven years I have dog and cat sat for a lot of my extended family and friends. I'm currently on the hunt for a part-time job for the summer, so I have plenty of time on my hands to look after and care for pets. I also have my own car and am hanging out with friends a lot, so I am always around. I am very diligent with making sure doors and windows are shut and locked to ensure that your pets do not go in or out (if they're indoor pets/ not on a leash) as I have to do that with my own pets! I also realize as it grows hotter, animals become dehydrated and hot as well, and I am careful to make sure water bowls are filled, and there is water during walks as well.
“We had a great experience with Ashlyn! This was our first time leaving our kitten and we were a bit nervous but Ashlyn did wonderful with her! We got updates and pictures every day and her communication was perfect!”
“First and foremost, it was clear from the time of the meet & greet that Natasha really loves cats, both in things she talked about and how she reacted when they peeked out and showed their faces. That was a really important thing for us. Her communication was great from the initial contact, even confirming the meet & greet about an hour ahead of time, and that continued during our time out of town. She asked conscientious questions about things we might or might not want her to do (both with the cats and in general with the house). She included some detail in the Rover Report Card each day so we knew how the cats were doing, whether they were interacting with her, etc. And we got daily photos, even if/when they stayed in hiding. That gave us a great sense of comfort to see their faces each day---like most people, we're very attached. With other places (including a boarding facility), we haven't gotten daily pics, and it really made a world of difference that we did. We're very happy with everything and would absolutely have Natasha check on the girls when we're out of town again.”
“Mayah was an excellent cat-sitter! Excellent communication, professional, personable, and she also accommodated my extended stay. Highly recommended!! I look forward to working with Mayah again. Thank you for taking such great care of my girls. ?”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, I live on a farm and i love animals of all shapes and sizes! I have also house sit for two years in a row with a family friend who has 2 large dogs. I have house sit for weeks in a row including multiple walks and potty breaks! I am a full time student. I am still available most days but my school must come first. Every day except for Tuesday and Thursday I am available after 12. However, on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have class from 8am - 3 pm. I would love to still help you out with your fur babies just be sure to keep my schedule in mind! I always treat your home and pets with the utmost care and respect. I follow your pet’s routine, ensure they feel safe and comfortable, and keep their environment clean. I love giving pets plenty of affection, playtime, and attention, while also making sure they’re secure and happy when you’re away. Your pet’s safety and trust come first!
About: I have taken care of animals and pets since I was young. Growing up, we had puppies, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. With my children we had guinea pigs, hamsters, and cats. I currently work full time but I have a full hour for lunch to stop by and care for your pets. I can do drop ins or stay at your house, whatever is needed to make sure your pet is safe and loved. I have two cats at my house. They are well loved and follow me everywhere. I make sure they have nutritious food and clean water always. I have helped with dogs, making sure they are safe when out walking. I make sure they are given the right amounts of food and always have water. As a pet lover, I want to give them companionship, love, and security while their "parents" are away.
“Have met and used Emily several times with great results. Happy to answer all the good questions she asks and never thought to ask ourselves. Very nice young lady, clearly enjoys spending time with our fur babies and understands their needs. Would highly recommend.”
“Nikki was great looking after our animals. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Out dog warmed up to her faster than most and the cat allowed her to apply topical medication. She was very professional and punctual, had all the right paperwork, all the things that out me at ease while we were away for a weekend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Youngwood
This was the first time we used Rover. We chose Mary after reading all the wonderful reviews. We then met her in person and knew she was perfect for our furbabies. She is very sweet, loving, dependable, and trusting. She treated our furbabies like her own. She sent pictures and updates after every visit. Our one cat is diabetic so she had to give him insulin shots twice a day. It was a brutually cold weekend, and she even offered to shovel the snow in our driveway! She cleaned the litterbox everyday and spent time playing with them. I highly recommend Mary.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Youngwood on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,138 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Youngwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Youngwood 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.
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 Youngwood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
