“Yvelene was amazing with communication while dropping in for my baby. It was nice feeling relieved I had someone professional and kind coming to my home to make sure my pup was taken care of. I highly recommend her!”
About: I love showing affection and learning new things and also being able to teach your dog new things. I’ve always been around dogs as a little girl and you understood that dogs have feelings needs just as much as humans do. I make sure I provide dogs with as much care as possible. I like taking walks, runs, and playing.. I’m usually available person.. I would want a bond with your dog and be able to be there for your animal anytime you’re not available to.. I will nurture your dog make them feel safe and be able to trust me.. I don’t have much of a special kills as far as teaching your dog how to do tricks lol but I can at least try. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I have schooling on weekends but I’m pretty much available anytime during the week days I will make sure when I care for your pets at your home, their safety is first and I will be very attentive to your pet
About: At 28 Years Old, I have nearly always had a dog living with me. 8 dogs have been apart of my life in the past and currently 4 reside in our large loving home. Nearly every single one of my dogs have been rescued and cared for, where I try my best to change my own routine to better fit their needs rather than trying to change them to fit my own. In the past years I have boarded relatives' dogs at my own home and would like to continue helping dog parents with any dog care they might need. Because I've had so many dogs in my life, I have had to experience both the beginning and end of their lives. I especially enjoy giving extra care to senior dogs to make sure they are most comfortable in the golden age of their lives. I am working only part time so I have plenty of time to give your dogs as little or as much attention as you need. My schedule is extremely flexible. Weekends or Weekdays are perfect for me. My home sits on a hilly and forested 3 acres, with fenced in portions as well as a long circular driveway perfect for walks! In the fenced area, there is a pool perfect for any water loving dog in the summer! There is also an enclosed run of chickens that are unbothered by any rambunctious and curious dogs. Currently we have 4 dogs, one an outdoor Rottweiler dog that is all too happy to play with another dog, but with her own separated fenced in area. We have 4 indoor dogs, 2 Rat Terriers and 2 Chihuahua. All of them have shown friendly tendencies to unfamiliar dogs of similar size. They have had mixed feelings over larger dogs and I know that not all dogs enjoy the company of others. Should your own dog be more comfortable being alone and dislike other dogs, our house is set up in a way that your own dog can have their own private space away from my dogs and still get whatever attention is needed while still allowing my own dogs ample space.
About: We have over 35 years of caring for our fur babies from puppies till the cross that rainbow bridge we have been pet owners since we got married in 1990 I work full time but have a very flexible schedule , I am available early morning and anytime after 4 and free all day Saturday and Sunday I treat every animal as it was my own I have great compassion for all living creatures and love all of God's creatures no matter who they belong to
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13 from friends and family, I’ve always loved dogs, but my parents weren’t really a fan of them, now that I move in to my own house, that has plenty of space for dogs to run and play I’d love to take care of your pets as if they were my own I’m a stay at home mom of 2 girls and 1 baby boy, I’m all day at home almost every single day of the week I have a fenced yard, my backyard it’s kind of unusual, it’s like a double fenced yard, one for my house and behind that is another fenced yard for my husbands horses, so if you’d like your dog to have some kind of farm experience they can be on both yards, but if you preferred for your dog to stay away from the horses that can be too
“Amanda is phenomenal. From communication to care, she is exceptional. She took extra time to meet our furry family before we left and assure that any special needs were met. She went above to provide both love and play. We are truly grateful for her care!”
About: I currently have two spoiled well taken care of girls. They keep me going, I will give your dog the attention that I give my own. I am open to any schedule. I am able to adjust to meet your pet's and your needs. My schedule is very flexible as an Ideal caregiver should be. I can offer daily check in on your pet at your home. I also have the space for outdoor pets at my home. I also have space for indoor pets and they can have their own room if needed.
“Rebekah provided drop in service for my two cats for a week. I couldn’t ask for anything more. She even put the used dishes in the dishwasher. She is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 12. Neighbors, family members and friends would trust me to take care of their 4 legged animals while they were gone. They never had to worry if their animals were being taken care of! I currently work full time. I already take care of a few of my neighbors pups when they are not around & need some assistance. I will be able to put your dog first and give them all the love they need. I live in a city style apartment community with several areas just for pets. There is also a mile walking trail for long walks! Very safe area with no worries of late potty breaks.
About: I have had animals my entire life, so 30+ years of experience. I know that your fur babies are a part of your family. You can count on me to make sure they feel at home. I am currently not working so my availability is usually wide open! I would love to turn petting sitting into a full time gig, as animals have always been a way to my heart. I have a fenced in back yard. I have two extremely friendly medium sized dogs (both are spayed/neutered). I also have 2 playful cats that interact very well with the pups. All of our pets are inside only.
About: I was a dog walker before I got hired at a pet store. My first dog was a lab pit mix, my second a Belgian Shepherd, and now I have my own pit mix. I have sat for family members with Chihuahuas and dachshunds. I am great with any size dog and have never met a pet I didn't love. I am familiar with many training tools, dietary needs and distributing medication. I have owned a couple dogs with severe allergies and sensitivities. I also have experience with exotic pets including ferrets. I care for my dog 24/7 including daily walks and a good amount of play time. I work from home as a counselor and create my own schedule so have plenty of time to tend to your pets. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup that loves other dogs. She would be great company or be able to be kept separate depending on your pets needs
About: Hi, I'm Gessy! I have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, especially pit bulls and small breeds. I've done pet sitting, walking, feeding, playtime, and even given medications when needed. I treat every pet like family-gentle, patient, and dependable. Whether it's for a weekend or longer, your pets will be safe, happy and love with me and my family. I am currently a stay home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weeks days. I do not have a fence yard i have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company, and I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Jillian was my saving grace!! I had planned to leave my old mastiff at the boarders when I went out of town but he didn’t like his meet and greet at all! So I thankfully discovered Rover and Jillian. I was able to leave him at home where he’s most comfortable. Jillian and Otis got along great. She gave him his daily meds and treats and even sent me pics. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I am on rover because I absolutely love dogs. I have my own fur baby that is absolutely the best. I work full time- banker hours, so I am really looking to watch pets on the weekends and love on them while you are away but I am also out and about all day everyday and can drop in whenever needed, as that is what I do for my own dog. I have grown up with pets my whole life and I have been pet sitting for a long time coming. They are always treated as my own, and I can make sure they do all of the things they love in my care! I can't wait to meet your babies. Thank you! I work full time in real estate, so my schedule is flexible. I am always out and about and can play and walk the pets whenever needed during the work week! I will treat any pet like my own and make sure to follow their schedule as they would when they are at home with you.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
Lydia is incredibly pet-friendly and caring. We knew that six small-breed dogs could be a challenge, but she was able to meet each of their individual needs while keeping us updated throughout the entire stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation because we knew they were in great hands. Lydia was very proactive, attentive, and communicative. We would definitely trust her with our dogs again and will gladly use her services in the future.

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 Covington 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.
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 Covington 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!
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Covington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
