“Second time booking Tyler and second time with no regrets! My cats love Tyler and she genuinely loves them back! Great sitter, follows instructions immaculately, and leaves the home as good as new. Will book Tyler again when we need a sitter! Thanks!!”
“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!”
“Kimmy is awesome! We are repeat clients of hers and will continue to be. Kimmy follows our schedule for our dogs with care and compassion. If you are looking for a diligent, reliable sitter, book Kimmy!”
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. As a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. 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.
“Justine was great. She did everything I asked, was responsive and left my home very tidy. She wasn't ever gone too long so my fur baby wasn't alone much which is very comforting when you're away. I definitely recommend her. Thank you for taking care of Misty!”
“Five stars isn’t enough. We’ve had great dog sitters, but Beverly blew us away with her kind, thoughtful, and communicative approach. We’ve never felt more comfortable and confident leaving our home and dog in her extremely capable hands. Thank you, Beverly! Will book again and again.”
“Haley was wonderful taking care of our dog and home. We have already booked her for multiple dates. Bubby was happy so we were happy! She also had no problem giving him his meds.”
“I can’t say enough about Kirsten!! BEST dog sitter I have ever had! We had her stay with our very high anxiety dog for 9 days in our home. We recently had to put down our other two dogs and Bentley has been so depressed and we were so worried about boarding him or just having drop ins because he would be by himself. I requested someone that could stay with him the entire time and Kirsten did just that! She came and met him two weeks before and he takes some time to get to know someone, but by the second day he just loved her. She kept him in his routine even letting him sleep with her like he does us. Walked him daily, let him play in the hose daily (one of his favorite things) Sat with him out in yard, played catch with him another favorite thing and checked in everyday with pictures and videos. She went over and beyond…took our trash cans in and out on trash day, took in our mail and packages, emptied our dishwasher, hosed yard everyday, stripped and washed her bedding and washed dog blankets on couch, cleaned bathroom and kitchen. My house was just as I left it. We were also welcomed home with a sweet note and gift for Bentley! She is the BEST and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was so well taken care of like family ❤️ Our last dog sitter was terrible and i was a wreck the entire time, not this time! She will be the only one I will use from now on!! Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to take care of your pets the same as you would!! Thank you again Kirsten!!!”
“Viviana was amazing with our puppy, Ollie! It’s clear that she has a true love for animals and is committed to providing excellent care. She’s also knowledgeable and gave us great feedback on what to expect during this stage (it’s our first time raising a puppy). I would have her watch Ollie again soon, and I would recommend Viviana to others in a heartbeat!”
“Cheyenne is our top choice for looking after our dog, cat, and home when we're away. She showers our pets with love and attention, making it easier for us to leave them behind. Her genuine affection and care are evident, and the frequent photo updates really help put our minds at ease. Last time, she even made paintings with our pets! We can't thank her enough. Thank you, Cheyenne!”
“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.”

“Alex is AMAZING! We can’t thank her enough for the work, time and care she put into our pups! We have two dogs who have stranger danger and Alex came by in the months leading up to our trip to work with our boys and get them comfortable before we were away. Her patience was unmatched and she took time to understand their behaviors. While we were away she built such a strong bong with our boys and cared for them like they were her own! We couldn’t asked for a better person, we will definitely be repeat clients for as long as we’re in LA! Thank you Alex!”
“Here's a thoughtful review for your dog sitter Jenna: We are incredibly grateful to have found Jenna as our in-home dog sitter. She’s been amazing with our fur baby, treating them with so much love and care every time we need her. Jenna’s communication is always spot on, keeps us updated and is quick to respond, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She’s not only reliable but genuinely passionate about taking care of our dog, and it shows! We feel lucky to have her, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter! Thank you so much Jenna!”
“Jacqueline is a little shy in person but she communicated very well on text - she kept me updated daily how each of our pet were doing and sent lots of cute pictures of them! :) She also spent time playing with each pet, and they seemed very happy in the pictures. My cat is usually shy and would hide if a stranger is here but she warmed up pretty quickly to Jacqueline. Our place was also kept clean during her Stay too. Will rebook again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Covina
Jaylin and Isaiah housesat and took care of my sweet anxious dog, Magpie while I was out of town. I returned home to a completely spotless house, towels folded, and a relaxed dog who was listening to some zen dog calming youtube videos, which I thought was extra sweet and thoughtful. They were great communicators and sent me lots of cute picture updates. I'd definitely book them again!
As always, we felt completely comfortable knowing Gio was caring for our dog and cat. He sends regular photos and communicates clearly, which we really appreciate. He also took great care of our home and followed all instructions perfectly. Having that kind of peace of mind while traveling is invaluable. Our pets absolutely love Gio!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Covina
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Covina on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 14,927 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Covina. 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 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 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 Covina. 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.
