About: Hi, I’m Josh, and I offer nothing but the most reliable pet care around, tailored to you and your pets needs! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly believe every pet deserves kindness, routine, and a whole lot of love (and maybe a treat or three). From playful pups to wise old doggos, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s: Gentle strolls for seniors Play-packed walks for energetic pups Cozy care for anxious or shy pets Basic routine reinforcement …I meet every animal where they’re at. Your pet won’t just be walked or watched, they’ll be nurtured, and treated like family. Plus, I’m a firm believer in consistent communication! You’ll get updates, pics, and plenty of peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I’m home full-time, so your pet’s schedule? It becomes my schedule! Early morning potty breaks, midday zoomies, afternoon sunbathing, or evening snuggles… I’ve got the time and the treats. My days are pretty flexible, so whether your pup needs structure or just someone to hang out with while they nap, I can make it happen. I keep things calm, cozy, and consistent because pets thrive when they feel safe and seen. Basically: if your pet has a routine, I’ll stick to it like peanut butter on a chew toy. 🦴 And if they’re more of a go-with-the-flow type? We’ll create a new groove together. Let me know what makes your fur baby happiest—and I’ll make sure every visit or stay feels like a mini vacation (with belly rubs included, obviously). My home is a peaceful, pet-friendly space where your furry friend will feel right at home. I work from home, full-time, so pets are never left alone for long, and I’m always nearby for cuddles, potty breaks, or the occasional “did someone say treat?” moment. A fenced-in yard is in the works soon (yay!), but in the meantime, we have instant access to Academy Springs Park; just a few steps away, and we’re a short drive from the Chimney Park dog park too. Plus, my quiet, sidewalk-lined neighborhood is perfect for low-stress walks and curious sniffing adventures. I keep my space clean, calm, and cozy. No overwhelming noise, no overcrowding, and definitely no chaos. Whether your pet needs space to lounge, room to play, we’ll create the right setup for them. I care for every animal like they’re my own because honestly, they kinda are while they’re with me. 💛
About: I have grown up with so many animals and LOVE them all!!! I am raising a few babies of my own, 3 little cats, and they mean the world to me. I am a super easy going person and love animals so I would love to help you take care of yours! I currently work part-time for a local school in the evenings, but mornings I am completely free and will work around your schedule for sure. I am extremely flexible on my hours! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, needs, and temperament. Before services begin, I will gather detailed information from the owner, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, behavioral traits, and emergency contacts.
“Yvelene was so gracious and kind to care for my Ori during an emergency situation. She was communicative, she followed the instructions given, and was available within mins of me reaching out! I am so appreciative and grateful.”
“Nicholas was awesome. He was able to look after Napoleon even with last minute plans. He arrived on time as promised, and followed directions. I would definitely use his services again.”
“Savannah is the absolute best! We had a last minute need while we were out of town and she dropped everything to help us out! Our pups adore her and she kept us informed of her visits without ever having to ask or wonder how things were going. Responsible. Reliable. Kind. Caring. And very in tune with our pups! An absolute gem!”
About: I’ve looked after all kinds of animals! (And believe me I mean all kinds) I’ve been official in pet care for 5yrs, but my family has always trusted me as the official pet sitter due to my patience, responsibility, and compassion. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and my genuine love for animals shows that. Whether they’re playful, senior, shy, or require extra attention, I care for every animal the way I’d want someone to care for my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I am a part time CNA, so my schedule is completely up to me! I love being in healthcare, but my real passion is pets! My schedule is always open unless I say otherwise! (I will always inform a client in advance about my plans) I provide warm, loving, and dependable home for pets of all kinds. I live in a family oriented neighborhood with plenty of space in the house, as well as a large front and partially fenced back yard! (And a large deck for those who love to sun bathe!) My neighborhood also forms a circle great for walks on a leash! I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet like family. I’ll care for your home and your pets with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I also offer extra kennels, leashes, bowls, and toys for those who are in a rush and simply forget!
“Raven has watched our 3 fur babies twice now and has added a sense of calm knowing they’re being cared for. Attentive, Efficient, with great communication and we look forward to using her again in the Summer.”
“Kamron was awesome with our dog and friends dog that was staying over. We asked for a last minute drop in and Kamron came through! He left great feedback. It was such a relief having someone we could trust to check on them. He was super quick to respond. He also paid attention to detail and took great care in what we needed. We will use him again for sure! Above and beyond, excellent experience.”

“Cristal and Edgar did a great job in caring for my four cats. I was updated daily on their progress along with pictures of my fur babies. I will definitely call on them again in the future!”
“Christi did a very good job. I also like the fact that she lives in the area. Niko seemed to really like her and my home was immaculate when I came back Niko was very happy to see me, but it was good to know someone was taking good care of him. I will use Christi again.”
About: My preferred name is Leo. I've been caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I was responsible for helping care for three family dogs, including feeding, walking, playing with them, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. I also grew up around cats, as my mom had several throughout the years, so I'm very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Today, I have a cat of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility and attention that pets need. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them safe and comfortable while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I work on my own schedule, so I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings as well. Whether you need someone for a quick check-in, daily visits, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I'll do my best to be there whenever you need reliable care for your pet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home clean, organized, and pet-friendly. I currently care for my own cat, who is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and well loved. I make sure all of my houseplants are non-toxic to pets, keep anything potentially dangerous out of reach, and provide plenty of toys, enrichment, and a cat tree for play and relaxation. I'm attentive to each pet's individual needs and always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, exercise, affection, and plenty of attention. I also have experience helping cats socialize through supervised playdates with friends' cats, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and positive environment. I'll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.
“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.”
“Another fun visit with Maria! Bentley and Maria have clearly bonded. He was happy to see her and enjoyed cuddles and belly rubs. Maria even thought to put dog shows on the tv to keep him company until I got home. Thank you Maria - we will see you again soon!”

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.

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.

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 .

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.
