“Joyce did a great job with Bellini. She regularly sent me images and updates on my pet's behavior throughout my time away. Communicative, reliable, and an obvious pet lover - I felt confident my cat and my home were in good hands during my vacation. I'll definitely be working with Joyce again in the future. 5 star recommend!!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Anthony! He cared for our severely injured pup with the utmost compassion, patience, and professionalism. From the very start, Anthony followed every single care instruction with precision, making sure our dog was comfortable, safe, and on track with recovery. Beyond just being attentive, he showed our pup so much genuine love and affection—it truly gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in the best hands possible. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet as if they were their own, but that’s exactly what Anthony did. We are beyond grateful for his kindness and dedication, and we couldn’t feel more appreciative. We are already looking forward to having him doggy sit for us again in the future. Thank you for everything, Anthony!”
About: We’re a fun, family home with lots of love to give! Your pup will enjoy playtime, snuggles, and a cozy environment where they’re treated like one of our own. I believe in gentle care, clear communication and making sure you feel comfortable while you’re away Because I work part-time and my husband works from home, there is consistent supervision in our house. Pet care easily fits into our daily rhythm. we’re already used to giving lots of love and attention. Feedings when scheduled.Your pet would be part of our normal family life, not left alone for long stretches. In our home, pets become part of our family’s daily routine. I keep feeding schedules consistent with what they’re used to, provide supervised playtime, outdoor patio breaks, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful and social or shy and need a quieter space. Safety is very important to me, so all interactions with my children and our cat are gentle and supervised, and pets are never left outside unattended. I also send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease.
“Jordan was amazing! My senior citizen has a history of bad anxiety especially around the Fourth of July with the fireworks but Jordan kept me reassured that my boy was doing great and that made me at peace while I was away, which is all I can ever ask for while I’m away. She sent pictures and updates and I would definitely reuse her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. Friends and family members know that I am a dog lover! I have experience with all pet ages from newborn to senior. I am a full time college student, but am great with time management and am free to play with your pup at any time! My university is pet friendly as well. I have a year old frenchie with a big gated back yard, with a built in patio to provide shade and a kiddy pool for some fun playtime!

I currently work different gig jobs but can definitely squeeze in a few walks a day for your fur baby and your pet must be kid friendly and also friendly with other animals I allow the pet’s to roam freely around the house please bring your own pet food maybe a favorite blanket or toy to make your fur baby feel more comfortable
About: Hi! My name is Kelsey! I am an all around animal lover, especially dogs! Growing up, my family always had animals from cats, dogs, bunnies, to turtles! I have always had a love for animals. Currently I have a beautiful girl maltipoo named Daisy! She is my world! I would love for her to get to know your dogs too! She is very shy, sweet, and playful! (And also up to date on all of her shots!) I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and make them feel loved and content with you away, even if it is just to scratch their belly and give them a treat! I would hope you would consider me the next time your pup needs some extra care! Thank you!
“Justin took good care of our home and fur babies while we were away on a 9 day trip. She kept me informed the entire time, took pictures, and sent daily updates on most if not all days. I would definitely use her again 😊. Thank you Justine!”
About: I am a pet enthusiast that loves going on long walks and staying active. I’m calm, reliable, and very attentive to the needs and personalities of the animals I spend time with. Big or small, I’ve had experience with them all! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule. I plan my day around the pets in my care to make sure they get regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and attention. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I follow their normal routine so they feel secure!
“Monica was great. She was not only attentive to our pup’s needs, but Monica genuinely enjoyed her time with her. She sent pictures or texts to me daily which put my mind at ease. And on top of that, she left my house in tip top shape, sparkling clean! I would highly recommend Monica as a sitter for your pet.”
“Hunter did an excellent job. He was communicative and responded immediately every time I contacted him. He sent me pictures frequently keeping me updated on my doggy’s status. He informed me before he was leaving the house to eat and was never gone for an extended period of time. He was able to coerce her up the stairs when she decided to not allow him to pick her up and sent me a video with the progress! Then he figured out how to lift her onto the bed for bedtime! This was the first time that I used a pet sitter and am glad I found Rover.com (it was easy to find them!) and was hooked up with Hunter. I would definitely use Hunter again and highly recommend him as your next pet sitter. Thank you, Hunter and best of luck with veterinary school 🙂”
“Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I used to volunteer at animal shelters throughout high school and pet sit for family friends. I am currently an animal science major so I know a lot about pets and how to care for them. I make it my mission to treat every animal I see like my own and show nothing but love and comfort. I am currently a student in college as well as an after school leader at an elementary school. I only go to school 2 days a week but those days i have closed off for certain services. Mondays I am only out of my home from 2-4 and Wednesdays from 2:30-6. Other than those days and time I am completely available for your fur baby. I do offer dog walking and drop ins everyday, but only around certain times. I will have plenty of time to play around with your pets and make sure they are well taken care of. I tend to go on walks daily so dog walking fits perfectly. I have a fenced yard and a big backyard for the times I care for pets at my home. I have 2 small dogs, 1 keeps to herself and is very calm, the other is very playful and likes to run around with other dogs. However it is very easy to separate my fur babies from yours if you aren’t comfortable with other dogs. I have 2 sides to my house and can keep them on opposite sides. I am close to several dog parks as well and in case of emergency close to a veterinary clinic. I am very careful with instructions if there is any special needs your pets have. I always make sure the pets I look after are happy and well taken care of.
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog for about two years, which has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, understanding a pet’s needs, and I’ve learned how to help with basic puppy training, like sit, stay, and come. I love spending time walking, playing, and giving plenty of attention to keep dogs happy and active. What sets me apart is how much I truly care; I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved and comfortable at all times. I’m gentle, dependable, and always focused on keeping pets safe and happy. As a college student at PCC, my schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I enjoy starting or ending my days with walks, playtime, or just spending time with animals. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and truly enjoy being around animals. When caring for pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own familiar space. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and pay attention to each pet’s unique routine and personality. I make sure they have fresh water, food, and plenty of time for exercise, play, and attention. My focus is keeping pets happy, relaxed, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole and have house sat for friends, neighbors, and family. They trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with love and reliability! I just moved to a new town and actively looking for a new job. I love animals and feel this would be a great fit for me in the meantime! I would prioritize your dog’s safety on every walk-always using secure leashes, staying in pet-friendly areas, and keeping full attention on your dogs needs!
“Amber was totally awesome! Best pet sitter we have had yet. She me a keeper for sure. She listened to all of our instructions and asked questions when needed. The dogs and cats seemed to love her. I would highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies.”
About: I only do one owner at a time for boardings just so we don’t overwhelm the fur babies! I have experience in medicine and dog training ! I have 16 years of experience from having pets of my own when I was younger to growing around animals 24/7 I am home full-time and don’t run errands as much so no fur a baby is never left alone for more than 30 minutes to an hour! I have a fully fenced yard with high equipment security cameras always recording everything gates get double key locked and no for a baby is never left unsupervised!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always been the type of person who treats them like family. I currently have two Australian Cattle Dogs, Copper (7) and Oso (3), so I’m very used to energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and stimulation. I’m an active person and genuinely enjoy being outside, so I’d love to take your dog on walks, hikes, or even runs if that’s something they enjoy. I’m also comfortable with puppies and can help with things like potty training and reinforcing basic training while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with me. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and treat them the same way I’d want someone to treat Copper and Oso. I’d love to meet your fur babies! I attend school every other day and try to do homework over the weekends, so I’d be available All day Monday and Wednesday and Friday mornings! I have had dogs all my life and will always be sure that the pets I am trusted with are always safe and in good hands!
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a child, animals have naturally gravitated toward me, and I've always felt a special connection with them.

My genuine passion for animals isn't just a job—it's who I am. I am a full-time pet sitter with a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or last-minute assistance, I'm committed to working with your schedule to provide dependable, loving care for your pets whenever you need it most. Safety is always my top priority when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure routines for doors, gates, and feeding, and stay attentive to any changes in behavior or environment. I make sure pets are never put in risky situations, keep their spaces clean and calm, and provide constant supervision during visits. What sets me apart is my detail-focused approach and commitment to treating every home and pet with the same level of respect, care, and responsibility I would expect for my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Covina
Christin stayed at my house while watching my two dogs for a weekend. She was communicative, thoughtful, and left everything in perfect shape. She also sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. She was great, my pups loved her, and it gave me peace of mind to have her stay with them. Will definitely use her again for future trips!
Vanessa was absolutely fantastic! She is highly professional, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of. I had complete peace of mind throughout my entire trip. When my flight was delayed, she even offered to stay longer than originally booked, which I truly appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her!
Nancy was amazing and extremely responsive. She was able to come for a last-minute meet and greet and was able to watch my pup Francisco within a few days notice. I would definitely have her watch him again as she is trustworthy, kind, and generally a positive and helpful person!
Viviana did a great job at taking care of our three pets (1x dog, 2x cats). We scheduled Viviana for overnight weekend support and she was very communicative throughout the entire process. We appreciate that Viviana scheduled a meet and greet prior to the actual weekend support to take in the instructions for our pets. Viviana was also understanding with us on all of our instructions and small roadblocks we had including troubleshooting our electronic feeders while we were away. Viviana sent lots of pictures of our pets while we were away to help us feel comfortable. We will definitely reach out to Viviana again if we need any kind of pet support. Thank you, Viviana!
Joyce is amazing! My babies warmed up to her immediately 🤗. I’m very picky about who I trust with my dogs, but I felt completely comfortable with Joyce from the start. She sent me pictures throughout her time with them, which I absolutely loved as a crazy dog mom! I highly recommend Joyce.

The average cost of House Sitting in Covina is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $149 per night.

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 Covina 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 Covina 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 Covina 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Covina. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
