About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets since I was 7 years old. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny pups to giant breeds. And I’m comfortable handling energetic, strong, and high-maintenance dogs as well. I understand that every pet has their own routine, needs, and quirks, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and dependable presence, I’m happy to help! I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve. I currently work part time and have a new baby, but I am available Thursday-Sunday anytime before 2pm! If a day is needed outside those days and hours it will depend on if I have child care available! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I respect your home and your pet’s space, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety and comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away!
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: 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
“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!”
“OMG, Summer was the best. She gave me great piece of mind while on vacation. She sent photos twice a day when she walked my baby. He was literally smiling in the photos. She was so professional and loving toward Duke.”
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
“This is our third time hiring Merit as our pet sitter while on vacation. She is absolutely wonderful and provides excellent care to all of our fur babies. We have one senior cat with special medical needs and she takes the time to provide the medication to her at each PM visit at not extra fee. She also watches over our hens and most recently, we added two goats to our property for a 4-H project and she tended to them as well. This was a HUGE help knowing while we are away everyone was being cared for as they need to be. She provides very detailed updates with plenty of photos to show what the fur babies are up to. We are already looking at another trip to move our oldest into college later this summer and will definitely be hiring Merit if she's available to sit for our fur babies once again! If you are looking for someone reliable, prompt, caring, and detail oriented our family would highly suggest hiring Merit as your pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to provide care to our furry family.”
About: I grew up with many animals at my home. I have taken care of plenty animals for friends and families and provided great care to them. I go to school Monday-Wednesday from 8-12 and Thursday from 7-3. I am available on those days after school. I am also available Friday-Sunday all day! I am not able to care for pets in my home but for clients homes, I will feed, walk, bathe, and play with the pets. I also love giving lots of cuddles!
“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'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.
“Denise is awesome and we will definitely use her services again in the future, if she chooses to accept the challenge ??. Unfortunately we had a couple pups that wanted to give Denise the "substitute teacher " routine but Denise stood her ground, was very thorough in taking care and updating us through the stay. Thanks Denise!”
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs over time with love and care. From small to large dogs, I’ve gotten very well with them all. Currently I’m an upcoming artist which means I work from home and I have a flexible schedule. YI’m available from 8am to 10pm through Monday to Sunday. At home I have a un fenced yard with wide space for the dogs can play and run around. While in other clients homes I’d ask for specific instructions so the dog feels at home with me.
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.
“Loan was great with my dog. She was kind and she seemed to love animals. That made me feel comfortable and at ease about leaving him in her care. She was excellent and I will definitely recommend her.”
“Thanks for everything. I am sorry about Duke’s accident in the crate and Draco being sick and pooping in his crate. I appreciate you sending me the photos and texting me about Draco. You were great.”

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 .
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.
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.

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.
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.
